Questing......the secondary quest finished

So I finished my secondary quest first lol ^.^ But it was a cheaper quest so that makes sense......anyway so this is the Sugarpill Cosmetics Facebook and they are pretty awesome!!!! The majority of their make-up is vegan and highly pigmented. And they are constantly posting videos and blogs on how to do different make up tips so I would recommend adding them ^.^

Now I've ordered first the Burning Heart Palette with Love +, Buttercup, Poison Plum and Flamepoint. And seeing as I love dark colors and warm colors this would of course be my favorite pallet. Then I also got three loose eyeshadows (Absinthe Loose EyeshadowGoldilux Loose Eyeshadow, and Lumi Loose Eyeshadow) and a pressed eyeshadow (Bulletproof Pressed Eyeshadow).

Anyway, I ordered this the other day, here are the screen shot:


And I'm super excited about it.......when I get it in the mail I'll put up a picture of all of it and then try something with it too ^.^ Maybe something with the gold.....super excited about that!! 

Anyway thanx for reading as always ^.^

Photoshoot: Light Play with Tammie Harris

So about a week ago I got to shoot with Tammie Harris again who happens to be one of my favorite local photographers........she's super easy to work with and always has an interesting idea or two to try. Well this time was no different......

She wanted to try light painting/play. Which for those of you that aren't familiar with this term (much like I wasn't when she told me at first) its where a model gets to sit really still while the photographer goes around them a bunch of times with different colored lights. It works because they leave the shutter open and it catches all the light without taking the picture........And its hard to sit still that long but have a look at a couple of the images we were able to achieve that day ^.^





We got mixed results depending on how still I could sit.......and when we played with movement it was even more interesting. But I think things turned out pretty cool ^.^

As always thanx for reading ^.^

Book Review: Halloween by Silver Ravenwolf


So this book was on my reading list because I thought it might help me with my research.......and in a way it does.....it helps me get into the minds of those I'm trying to but to tell you the truth I don't ever much like her 
books. This one takes you through a quick history of Halloween which works well into my research and will be something that I have to work on more later......but she does it in such as way as to pretend she speaks only to children. Or its just rather silly and not at all to my taste.

Once out of that she works her way through superstitions and different ghouls and ghosties......but its still all rather silly. And then all her spells are geared towards Halloween so expect certain themes in them.

The part I liked most about this book I have to say is the end. Where she does a little to speak to people of not fearing the dead and ways to speak to those loved ones you lost. Which I feel is something more people should do in these times........and the guest section. Which gave a nice it of information about the lifestyles of modern woman who practice.........

Now on a whole there is good information in this book......but if your one that wants their information in a serious tone then I recommend that you don't read this book as much of it is spent in rather silly ideas (Broomstick Flights......like they have an in flight movie).

As always thanks for reading ^.^

Delivery: Purrfect Pineapples Lingerie......ie Corset

So I just ordered this like last week and its already here. Helps that they are in Portland.....Just a hop jump and a skip away ^.^ But before I get into pictures of the wonderful things that I got look at this cute tape they used on the wrapping.......loving this already ^.^!!!


Anyway onto the actual information......So Purrfect Pineapples (Facebook and Etsy) had their Baby Blue Red Deer Underbust Corset on sale for only $165 and because I was friends with them on Facebook I managed to collect a coupon code for 25% off too......making it like $131 shipped.......score right?

Well I didn't use the coupon code right so it still went through for $171. Sad day for sure. But being the awesome person that she is Erika let me pick $40 in other things to make up the difference. So I got two corset belts for it too........now onto some pictures ^.^

 This was one of the first things that I saw when opening the package. And considering that they make only vegan clothing I'm assuming that they are vegan ^.^ Its a rather informative brochure. Maybe I'll try to be vegetarian? Or not? I'll figure it out.
 This is the second group of things I saw. Two of them are like post cards which I just might get mounted and then hang in my room or something.......the other is a sticker......I'm thinking about putting it on my binder!!


And the last thing was this personalized thank you on the cutest paper......I like when they send personalized thank yous.....makes me feel a lot more appreciated!!!



Now this is the first pair of pics for the garter belts. This being the green one. It has black lace front paneling. The sides are pink hearts on green fabric. Little pink bows with heart jeweled pieces. And tons of ribbon........I rather much like the attention to detail!! (click pictures to make them larger)


 This is the second set of garters. Its pretty much the same as the first set only a dark purple ^.^ which is my favorite color. This and the other one were on sale in their blog sale for $20 which is nice ^.^ (click picture for larger image)


The last two pictures here are the corset itself......Its beautiful!!!Notice the detail. the lace along different seems and the elk right there in the middle of ya ^.^ And the lacing matches to a T which is hard to do.....



Anyway that all being said I must now let you know that I love this......I feel like its Christmas in August!!! And can't wait till I find a reason to wear it all (more then likely a shoot ^.^) and then I'll have more pictures up for everyone.........And if you love lingerie then add them on Facebook. At least if you can't afford it you can look at some pretty pictures of lingerie......and you never know.....they have some awesome blog sales!!!

Oh and look for other quests for them......I would like the whole set to this corset that includes a bra, panties and garter!!!!

Thanx as always for reading.........

Book Review: The Science of Vampires

For those of you that are into vampires but not into more then their fictional stories this is not the book for you. For those of you that have questions about the possibility of vampires and such then you might like this book.

I read this book mainly for research purposes but must say I enjoy it. It covers every aspect of vampires starting with how the myths might of began through purely scientific explanations (like did you know that some bodies may look like they were buried yesterday but be over 100 years in the ground?). It goes through the changes that happen in the body to become a vampire and once again scientific ways in which those changes might occur. It delves into the psyche of the vampire and those who believe themselves to be vampires (including many well known serial killers). And concludes itself in the many different magical aspects of a vampire that does have human counterparts........such as necromancy.


Now would I say that everyone read this book......no. But if you like scientific things or just knowledge or if your very much into vampires and would like to know more about them in a modern sense then by all means dive right in. It a short book of about 255 pages and a relatively light/easy read.

This is book/movie review number 3 (basically research #3) for me and I have to say things are fitting together a little better then I thought. Any idea as to what I might be reaserching? Or to what means?

As always thanx for reading.........
