Have a Batty October

I am giving away Battys for FREE throughout the month of October. He's a silly thing, really, but I like him. Wear him as an attachment (he won't wander away) He bobs about and flaps his wings--you can also make him talk if you wish.




Just look for the sign to the left as you enter the Carriage House:

Have a Batty Halloween!


Edit: YAY! I just found my inspiration on YouTube!!! I WUV TEH INTERNETS!!!

Picture, Not From in an Exhibition

A huge thank you to Vicerine Kamilah Hauptmann who had this done for me. I try not to indulge my vanity by having sketches done of myself or my avatar, but having one done by someone else is more than welcome :)



(Lord, not for the first time do I wish I could get my RL hair to look like that...but I can't fly in RL either!)

Oh Fine, Another Meme

What, no Girl Gadgeteer photo? Hrmph....

Your result for The Steampunk Style Test...

The Gadgeteer

You are the Gadgeteer, the embodiment of steampunk technology. Ironically, many of the things that most define your style are probably too large to easily carry about, but given the opportunity you would prefer to be seen surrounded by boiler engines, gear-driven calculators, and incredible automata. Of all the steampunk fashion styles, you place the greatest emphasis on technological accessories, and you are the most likely to create elaborate gadgets that are as much a part of your outfit as your clothes. You probably have goggles, but unlike most people you consider them to be for more than decoration. Whereas most people might look odd carrying a satchel of tools around, for you they may well be essential. Above all, you remind everyone that what sets the genre apart from Victoriana is simply the level of technology.

It tells me that I am 36% Elegant, 52% Technological, 50% Historical, 24% Adventurous and 40% Playful, which sounds about right. Possibly a tad high on the Technological, as these days I spend more time with Fuzzy Beasts than Silly Gadgets. But I do love my Silly Gadgets, too.

Skulls About the Town

Well, I'm pleased to say that the skulls have been selling very well. It's really wonderful to hear about the creative things people have been doing with them.

Here's a couple of snapshots I received recently, the first from a Ms. Fallacy DeCuir of FDS designs who made one that emits glowing skull shaped particles, and the obligatory candle skulls:




And everyone's favourite Evil Overlord cum Mad Scientist, Dr. Obolensky, has created this little vacation retreat in Clockspire cove:



Finally, a bit of "Haunted Mansion" style fun from Cald Stine. He was kind enough to send me the haunted grave--I must say the chuckle is rather unnerving!





As always, hearing that people are having fun with my toys really makes me happy :) So if you have pictures of you and your skulls, horses, or unsafe modes of transportation, do drop me a line :)

Home Again, Home Again

Over 100 IMs O_O. Well, good to know I was somewhat missed. Now feel free to lob such missives as need lobbing at me!

On Holiday

Hello all, my valise (well, beat up plastic roll aboard) is laid out in front of me and I am ready to depart tomorrow morning on a Grand Adventure. More of a working vacation than anything else (I plan on doing a fair bit of writing), but it will be fun enough. Who knows, it may lead to Paths of Glory. Or at least get me out of the house for a week.

In any event, shall be back the week of the 18th, so if anyone has any product requests or issues, I'm afraid it will have to wait until then as I have made the decision Not To Check Email. I need a bit of mind clearing time, so no email, reading LOLCats, watching videos, reading the paper, and decidedly no Second Lifing. I hope I survive the experience!

Until then!

Skulls for Sale! Getcha Craniums 'Ere!

Well, not everyone has the time to sculpt their own skulls (link!), so I am now selling my skulls on the open market, specifically at the Dark Victorian Emporium in Caledon Tanglewood. Do stop by there if your tastes run towards black taffetta--there are some amazing works there by some top notch creators (i.e. not just my silly skulls).

The pricier one here is the full perm set, for use by vendors who wish to incorporate them in their own builds:




I am also selling no-copy versions which come with four skulls (for private use), or copy versions (for those who want to build with them, but don't intend to sell their builds).

I am also selling this silly set:



Touch the skull and the Raven squawks "Nevermore!" as voiced by our own talented Mr. Hotspur O'Toole (for some reason, I always did imagine that bird having a bit of a husky Northeastern US accent).

Again, all these and many more things by far more talented designers than I are available at the Dark Victorian Emporium (including a lovely Poppins avatar created by Mr. AM Radio).
