she felt the pressure building.

Then it exploded.

I should start calling these ‘Look of the Week’ posts instead of LOTD posts. -.-

It’s gotten crazy busy for me, but in a good way.

Since today is Halloween, I wanted to get this pic posted, even if it’s almost over. 😛

This is a costume I wore for a performance at the Main Event Show Lounge for our Halloween show.

I love Boudoir, but a lot of their items do not ‘dance’ well.

Luckily for me, this one did, because I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. 😀

Since this was purely a ‘fun’ pic for me, I have edited it in Photoshop.

I’ve added the green sparkles, as well as some of the spooky green highlights.

I am constantly amazed at the flexibility of Photoshop and how much fun I have playing around with different options and features.

I have several programs that will add effects for me in one-click, but I get much more enjoyment from playing around myself and seeing what cool effects I can make.

It’s been a quiet evening here, not one trick-or-treater at all.

I hope you are all enjoying your Halloween.

Me, I’m ready for fall, Thanksgiving, and turkey. 😛

LOTD #161 – Loose Lips

LOTD 161

He’d caught her dancing, her portable radio blaring out that ridiculous ‘boogie woogie’ music.

The platform she was on didn’t seem very sturdy, but she was oblivious. 

To it, and him.

Decor:

Vintage Posters:  Paper Moon – WWI/WWII Posters  (@Genre)

Hideout:  Noctis – Renegade Army Hideout  (@Genre)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The theme for this round of Genre (in case you hadn’t guessed), is Military.

I had a ton of fun putting everything together for this picture.

I love the hideout from Noctis – so many options, and it comes with corner and straight pieces, so you can mix and match.

I’m a sucker for anything vintage and military, and I absolutely adore these posters from Paper Moon.

There are 4 posters in each set (WWI & WWII) and they added the perfect touch.

Rosie the Riveter is an iconic wartime image, so this T-shirt from Fission was a must-buy.

I paired it with the skirt from Kastle Rock and added a pair of dirty work boots.

Truth added about 80 hairs to their current discount sale, so I picked up Vicki on my second trip (because – hair!).

If you haven’t made it over to Genre, you have until July 10th to stop by.

Don’t forget to pick up the sweet “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” pose pack from NanTra. 🙂

LOTD #145 – Peace & Quiet

LOTD 145This was one of her favorite quiet spots.

Leaning against the window frame, staring out over the expanse of the calm lake waters.

Today she hadn’t even stopped to take off her shoes.

It had been a really bad day.

LOTD #136 – Ghost Stories

LOTD 136She flopped down on one of the floor cushions, the fire crackling softly at her back.

Grandpa had always been one of the best storytellers – especially ghost stories.

She smiled as he lowered himself into his favorite chair and cleared his throat.

“They were walking alone in the woods,” he began.
