Just a heads up that we have a new perfume collection as well as brand new haircare products over at Moxie. The Colour blends will be with us permanently though there are two limited edition Autumnal scents, and a very special Halloween perfume that is not yet on the website.

You can enter to win this perfume with our current contest, just enter your details on the website. Every entry receives a 15% off code for the month of October, so it's win/win.

As always the HP Lovecraft Film Fest was a grand time!

There were many really wonderful films.

Two were of note to steampunk fans:

The Amazing Screw-on Head 2006

It's been available on DVD for some time, but it was a treat to see it on the BIG screen.

The Book Dealers 2007

"In 1893, two book dealers arrive at a prairie home to pick-up their latest occult acquisition. They discover a dark supernatural force has been unleashed upon the home's owners and use turn of the century technology to exorcise the eldritch evil. A Steam-Punk tale inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft."

To celebrate the disjointed nature of my circumstance I'm going pass some time posting random crap from my hard drive. This is in lieu of content of a rich and rewarding nature.

NEWS JUST IN! We got an apartment in Elizabeth Bay, a couple of klicks away in a leafy suburb without the junkie prostitute dross that litters the street corners here. Gosh it's going to be quiet. I'll have to record some of their methadone-inflected nasal screeching to lull myself to sleep.

This is just in the nick of time too as Kel departs for India tomorrow and I'm a colourful mess when it comes to handling deals of a crucially important nature. I start sweating unnecessarily.
After weeks of humming along at a low persistent stress level it can now settle for a period until the day we move all this glass and fragile shit we've accumulated.

This is an old snap I was just sent from the Triptych performance a few years back.
An illustration series I developed for the musical and spoken word performance was used on the night.

Chaos Theory Age of Chaos scents....

(I reviewed these for 2 of you, I am 500+ deep in email messages so I can't remember you exact emails so here are the reviews. I hope you both see them here)
:)

CLXVI:

In Bottle: Super orange

On Skin: This is yummy, very citrus, orange to be specific. It's soft though, not tart... like an orange creamy candy. Soft and powdery, like orange pixie stix... wait, it smells like PEZ!!!! It's very well blended and the only notes I'm getting from it are orange, sugar, maybe a little vanilla. The powderyness may be from a velvety light amber. It's gorgeous and wish I had gotten a bottle of this!!!

XIV

In Bottle: Sweet and planty

On Skin: This has a very organic feel. It's sweet though and I love it. I smell greenery and soft dry grasses, maybe hay. It's warm and comforting. I smell a pretty floral note too, nothing perfumey, more simple. As it dries down, it takes on a more sour floral feel on me, but still quite nice. Overall it is green and gold in tone on me. I would call it a farm or field scent to create a visual.

XCII:

In Bottle: Sweet and feral

On Skin: I don't tlike this one... sorry. It is very feral, an animal musk of some sort... maybe civet? It smells like an animal in heat, with a sweet background note. Very red in tone, a bit resinous. Eeek, it's terrible on me, I'm sorry I can't review it any further.

LXXXIII:

In Bottle: Sweet and spicy

On Skin: Clove and a bit of cinnamon or cardamom. Very intense. There is also a bit of a cologne note in the back ground. Yeah, spicy masculine cologne. I get also a bit of leather. It's a little funky to me, something isn't right. It's probably the clove because clove usually hates me with a passion. It has that metallic note and it's very dominant here.

Really, this is truly Safe for work porn, I kid you not.




Also, I think this thing right here was made specifically for me or POSSIBLY by my doppleganger:

If I could think of any place I could actually wear this thing and not get evil looks and possibly my butt kicked I would buy it up in an instant. It's like I am in the closet for wanting to dress like a LUNATIC.

The town of Henryton was a small town neighboring Ellicot City and Sykesville, and featured an immense 4-winged hospital in which African Americans infected with  tuberculosis were sent to parish. Once the vaccine for TB was created, the hospital was used to house and treat children with mental/learning disabilities. The town was evacuated in 1985 due to asbestos.

I've been here twice now, and this town is AWESOME. there is definitely some paranormal activity occuring here -- the constant feeling of  being watched/followed, objects moving on their own, and voices.

I've finally caught up on shipping and the last of the packages from my last sale are going out tomorrow.  Hence, a bump is finally in order! 

Most prices have been lowered, so check it out.  For the record, I'll swap very generously for a bottle/partial of MVJBA Pancake Breakfast (I'll give you 2x what your Pancake cost you... or its equivalent, if it's a partial bottle).  Sale is in my journal, and all prices are well within price caps. :)

Bumping the sale here, in which I still have lots of bottles and samples from BPAL and other etailers, as well as a boatload of cheap Bath and Body Works stuff. : )

And I am very much looking for bottles of Huesos de Santo and Fearful Pleasure. Even partials. Anyone, please? I'll buy or swap.

I have lots of BPAL - bottles of Frederic & Zarita, lots of imps & oodles of LE decants! I l also have Woobie, Bathed and Infused, Heaven and Earth Essentials & more!

Right over here!

***Free shipping if you spend $15 or more!***

I'm willing to swap for anything on my wishlist or any amount of Priala, Hay Moon, Mead Moon, Hellhound on my Trail, Glowing Vulva, or Red Lantern.

Instant Gratification Monday (part two) will be underway shortly! I will be doing simple custom work from approximately 8 - 10 p.m. (eastern time) today on a first-come, first-served basis. Your humple bumble humble wireworker is still recovering from having been knocked flat on her back by a variety of illnesses last week, and may require a nap on very short notice, but I will do my best.

If you can describe what you want to me in an LJ comment, I will make it. My normal $40 minimum does NOT apply to this. Want a pair of $10 earrings? You can have 'em. Simple is the operative word here -- if you want something very specific or very complicated, please place a custom request in the usual manner.

I'll be photographing things in small batches and uploading the photos to Flickr throughout the session. If you like your item, you can purchase it on the spot, and if you pay by midnight (eastern time) today, your item will ship tomorrow morning. (This does not apply to echecks, as those have to clear our bank before I can ship your order.) If you don't like what I've made, just say the word and I'll toss it in the "stuff for future updates" pile, no hard feelings.

Caveats and restrictions: I'm limited to the materials I have in stock (but since I stock over a thousand varieties of shiny objects, that's not much of a restriction) and I reserve the right to limit this to a maximum of 12 requests and one item per customer, as well as to say "that's going to take too long to do today, let's set it up as a regular custom order."

Comments are open as of now. Go for it! Please tell me what you want, what size it should be, and either how much you want to spend or what you'd like to barter. If your request does not contain those three details, I will move on to the next request in the queue, and will return to your request only if I have enough time left at the end. I will periodically post an updated list of what I've finished and what's pending in the queue.

(A note about barter: I currently have an enormous pile of untested imps and more perfume and bath products than any one person really needs to own, so I am not presently looking for BPAL or other perfume or bath products.)

The webcam is being uncooperative, alas, so it will not be on after all.

Looking for a decant of Hellhound, would love to swap for it, but also willing to buy, so just let me know if you have one for trade/sale...

Thanks for looking :)

But a "What BPAL should I wear to X?" query.

Specifically, I'm going to a Magnetic Fields concert tomorrow night. Any suggestions as to what I should wear?

I really need bottles of Huesos de Santo and Fearful Pleasure. Even partials. Anyone, please? I'll buy or swap.

My sales/swap page is here, and I've got lots of stuff to offer, including bottles of Smut and La Vita Nuova, HAEE's Marry Me, and more! : )
