I often forget about the Lelutka heads, but then I put one on and suddenly, it brings back how much I abso-freaking-lutley adore them. Every single head I've purchased from them (and I now have at least five) has bought something new.. no matter how small, and each time they up their game I'm at a loss for words. Needless to say when I saw the new Go&See skin specifically for the new brand of Lelutka heads, I made big ol' grabby hands for it!
I also decided to do the Slink body with the petite add-on for mah bewbies. I LOVE playing with (myself? LOL) my avatar, creating shapes that I believe to be fairly realistic.. and the petite add-on for the Slink helps me achieve that as I was never keen on the way the hourglass body breasts protruded.. but I am a huge fan of this shape. It's fair to say this was inspired not only by the new Go&See skin, but also Muggleborn, who go above and beyond to rig for bodies and augments that not every creator manages to include.
I probably don't say this enough, but I am SO amazingly grateful for all the beautiful brands that trust me with their creations, without their items, I'm almost certain my creativity would have been stunted as often I need a little push!

Bow : .~DN~. Golden Huntress Bow (This is actually really good fun and I had a whale of a time throwing a friend across my sim for lols.) @ The Secret Affair

So, I kinda created this scene in a super huge, overdone way. What you can't see is the swamp in the background, and the fact that Pickle is actually on a ledge, and the horses are way below on a ravine. I guess I need to work a little more on getting my background into the whole scene I'm creating, but there's worse things to realize!

Let's talk about Enchantment, yeah?

It's only bloody Lord of the Rings themed! I'll be honest, I had actively avoided watching this series of movies or reading the books. I think back in the day the 'cool kids' were into the Hobbit, and then of course the Lord of the Rings, and so it's just been something I avoided out of habit, and not disinterest - kinda like Star Wars (don't kill me, I'm aware I'm blaspheming all over.)

Still, when I found out that this round was going to be LOTR themed, I HAD to watch, and I freakin' loved it. All of it. Every single bit. I mean, I can't tell you the name of the characters because that stuff goes in one ear and out the other, but I'd definitely watch it all again, and would even consider reading the books (gasp!). 

With that said, can you guess who I'm channeling, albeit in female form (with slightly longer ears)?

It's of course Legolas the Elf who likes his bow and arrow (and yes, I had to google his name)!

Now, I dunno how close I actually am to pulling it off, but that was my take on the whole thing, and I had HOURS of fun with this (literally, hours. My poor homestead is in tatters because I got excited and over decorated like a boss), but let's get to the credits, k?

The Secret Affair has opened it's doors to celebrate the festival of Lupercalia. I didn't originally know what this was, so thanks to google (again, and honestly as much as I love books I don't miss giant encyclopedias) I found out that it's basically a celebration similar to that of Valentines day, but much, much gorier. I don't really wanna go into details about what I found out, but if you're interested you should research it and relish the gory all for yourself!

I have a bunch of things for you today! I'm still procrastinating from yesterday, so it's completely amazing that I've even gotten to this point, but there's legitimately so much information below, I don't want to waffle for too long so here goes!

Today I'm wearing the Juliet Skin, specifically for the Genus head from Lumae.

Above are tones one through four, and below are tones five through eight.

I chose to show the freckled versions for the tone comparison, they're all equally as beautiful. I did notice that tone 7 and tone 8 do not have the ginger eyebrow option, so I switched it up to the red, which is just as lovely!

Above you'll find a little look at the eyebrow options. I've used tone 4, the same tone as is in my photograph, and I have used the unfreckled option to show them off. 

I'm absolutely in love with the  lips, they're so pouty and delicious!

Ok, so... I guess I STILL need to work on this presentation for eyelashes. >.> 

However, Go&See have provided these lush Mink Lashes for SaNaRae especially for the Genus Head.

Shown in all the pictures are the stunning Lunar Eyes by Lotus at The Arcade, I'm wearing number 2 and number 17, which are similar in colour but different enough to create a bit of a facial focal point, I think!

This scene was a little bit of a challenge for me, but ultimately I'm super happy with the outcome!

I really enjoy attempting to pull everything together coherently, while attempting to give a little visual story to go along with it. It's definitely a work in progress (as is my photography process in general!) and I'm thoroughly enjoying learning new things and trying new angles!

Happy days are here, and The Secret Affair has opened it's doors for the December round!

The Secret Affair opens it's doors for the "Pennhurst Asylum" edition today at noon SL, yay! 

I'm lucky enough to be a blogger for this fabulous event, and if you haven't been to any previous - you're definitely going to want to head to this one!

With each round, the event creators design a brand new set-up around the theme of the event so this time you can guarantee it's going to be a super spooky experience!

In this picture, Pickle has been the subject of many experiments, which lead her to having an unknown head attached to her neck. Luckily, her and the head (We'll call him Bob) have become fairly good friends and have meticulously planned their escape. The skeletons around the room are the experimental failures, and I like to think that the stance she's in indicates that the doctor who made her this way is in for a rough time when he opens the door next. because she's not gonna go down without a fight!

Have a great friday and be sure to stay safe, so you don't end up like Pickle!

This is my second official post for The Secret Affair event. This round, the theme is "Isle of the Devil's Sea", and you can find some more information on designers and other such awesome on their website >Here<

I got a little nervous about this post, self doubt creeping in a bit as I began to convince myself that I just wouldn't be able to do the products justice, but I'm actually really happy with the way this photo came out. So happy that I'm not even going to do the regular pictures on the grey background, because I don't think anything can showcase what we have here any better than this picture.

YAY!

I'm even more proud of the watery splash-thingies at my waist, although I do think maybe a little more could have worked too - but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Whenever I "Work" an event as a blogger (I use the term work loosely, I blog and take photographs because I enjoy it, and I am incredibly aware that i'm extremely lucky to have some wonderful people who gift me with their items in return for the little pictures i take) I like to attempt to use as many items as possible to showcase said event. Sometimes that's just not possible, and you end up featuring just one item.. however, luckily for me, The Secret Affair has a glorious amount of mix-and-match items that work seamlessly together, or of course, can be used separately. 

Anywho, rather than having a Pickle rant on about things and stuff, have a list of things and stuff that are still available at the event! Plus make sure you pop over there to check out the things and stuff that I haven't got to yet!

The event opened today, so make sure you take a look around and grab some goodies!

Unfortunately, Pickle is still sitting in uncomfortable RL misery -wails dramatically- while this sickness kicks my butt, however, I am thoroughly enjoying this look of "Terribly dramatic half-mermaid being terribly dramatic in what is essentially a back-garden pond."

I hope you enjoy it too!
