♥ Under Your Spell ♥

Warning.. incoming wall of geekery (skip this paragraph if you just want outfit info!)

My favourite TV show of all time celebrated 18 years since it's original air date yesterday. 18 years! I can't believe it has been that long since "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" graced our television sets. It doesn't seem that long at all.. 
I have all kinds of geekery that I've collected over the years to do with my love of the show too.. VHS, DVDs, books, games, figurines to even a chess set (which I can't actually play, but at one point I just bought anything that was to do with the show!) 
My love of the show began when a male friend I had at the time pointed out that I looked a lot like Buffy. I had no idea who this Buffy person was so I had to look it up.. I then found that my foster mothers daughter also thought I looked like her and was shocked I didn't know who she was.. it just so happened that she was a huge fan of the show (by that point it wasn't too far in) so she loaned me the first season boxset on VHS. I burned through those tapes in a few days, I was hooked! My long love affair with the show began. 
Funny story time.. when I met my boyfriend (well, now fiancee) he asked me what I did as a job.. I panicked.. because I don't have one as I'm on disability in real life and didn't want to have to tell him all my problems from the offset.. so I said "I'm a Vampire Slayer" - I dunno what possessed me.. my friend who I was with at the time thought it was hilarious though. Turns out he thought I was a bit weird but he liked that about me.. even to this day he has me as Bu on his phone as he nicknamed me Buffy in his head, but didn't want to put that into his phone so he put "Bu" - he still calls me that too.. nobody has any idea that it's spelled that way and that's what he means though. 
Anyways, I could go on and on about the show and how it has resonated with my life in a bunch of ways.. we share so many similarities it's freaky. I'm not a Vampire Slayer though and I'm British.

Anyways, the point of that wall of text of fandom was because this amazingly cute and spellbinding "Bunny Magic" outfit from ToddleTeeZ made me think of the song from the episode "Once More With Feeling" that was on Buffy. I've linked it at the end of the post for your listening pleasure. You can find this outfit at this current round of Woodlands. There's so many pieces to collect to make up this gorgeous outfit, but it's totally worth it for the fantastic look it creates. I'm particularly loving the animated wand that hovers over your head and emits sparkly particles. Cute! Even the ears are sparkly.. and who doesn't love sparkles?!

Happy shopping everyone! ♥

How adorably cute is this outfit from Glitter Outfitters?! It's perfect for Winter. It comes in a variety of colours, but this combination seemed the most me. Cute plain turtleneck, all snuggly and warm looking. An awesome ruffly skirt that looks so awesome teamed with the turtleneck. Plus a variety of warm tights to go with them. Complete the look with the Nordic boots I blogged about from Bubblegum Alley and presto, you're ready for Winter!

♥ Fairy Nice ♥

So, yay, I'm on a trial with a family! They seem pretty awesome.. I'm hoping that this is my forever family I've been looking for. It's funny because my trial mummy only lives like 2 and a bit hours up the road from me in real life. But my trial daddy is all the way in the USA! I'm really hoping this works out because even my grandparents are awesome. They all breed tigers and have lots of games to play, including greedy and byngo (oh my goodness, that one is going to kill my lindens.. I had been staying away from it because I got addicted and started spending more than I was winning... so have to try to ration myself a bit with it. Yeah, good luck with that, self!) But they do seem very cool, mummy is a lot like me.. likes the same kind of things and when we were looking for a house to put down, we kept picking the same ones. Daddy said I get my farts from him though.. and my grandparents have said they're gonna take me all kinds of places and "spoil" me. I can't believe my luck. I was just thinking that I was going to be an orphan forever too and was considering just taking my panels down and accepting my fate.. but I'm so glad I didn't. Really hope this works out, because right now I'm so very happy! Watch this space! ♥

Ever have days where there is something you have to do in real life and you REALLY don't want to do it? I'm facing one of those days today.. so I didn't sleep well worrying about it and I don't want to do it at all, but I have to. It's one of those things that you can only put off so many times before you absolutely have to do it or else it messes everything else in your life up. Luckily my real life sister is going to come over and take me and hold my hand so to speak.. she rocks like that. But yeah, not looking forward to it one little bit. To be honest, I'll be glad when this week is over in real life.. but in Second Life I kinda want things to go in slow mo cos I'm enjoying it so much. I feel like by saying that though I'm setting myself up for a fall.. next post I'll probably be crying about how awful everything has gone. Lol. Hopefully not, but I don't want to be too positive either and then be disappointed.

Yesterday morning I was pretty depressed and ended up buying myself two KittyCatS to breed. It was an impulse decision. I put my Fennux away as the novelty wore off and they started getting really boring. I liked the interactivity that you can get with the KittyCatS which you don't have with Fennux. I love how I can cuddle them, play ball with them, lay down and play with them etc (although I wish the animations were more child avatar friendly, since I end up underground with the laying down one or hovering above the ground when I go to pet them) Minor annoyance, but I get that kind of thing a lot being so small. 

I'm still pretty into my Krafties. At the weekend there was the launch of the Vampire soul (for just the weekend only I think) Also there was double crafting exp, so I ended up lingering at the main sim for a bit and getting in on any crafting that was happening.. also got people to help me. I managed to get 2 Vampire souls made, I stuck one in a high stat Lupix, he turned grey with red eyes.. I called him Mr Bitey. I'm keeping the other one back for now, good to hold on to. I still have a bloodstone left over, guess it's useless now though. 

The mini turkey hunt starts tomorrow, which should be good. I enjoy a good hunt.. hopefully there will be some good prizes. I know Soken is participating and there is a cute shirt to be found, but not sure who else is in it yet.

Anyway, this outfit is from the last round of the Woodland Gatcha event. I love it.. so cute. I'm not usually a yellow kind of person, but this looks super pretty on. It comes with the dress, shoes, earrings, bracelet and wings. The wings, although a bit flimsy, since they're just a flexi texture, are cute too. I'm wearing a super cute ring my grownup friend, Nyo, bought me also. It's called a Chewnicorn ring.. it's got like a little unicorn head on it.. and apparently no unicorns were harmed in the making of the ring.. which I said is good to know! He got me the fatpack so I can wear this ring with several outfits, awesome sauce. Thank you! ♥

♥ Buggin' ♥

Now bugs I don't really like.. generally anything creepy crawly, flappy, buggy or icky. I especially can't stand butterflies.. I have a phobia of them! (I know.. I'm totally a weirdo) 

Anyways, when my friend Randa showed me that she had made a lady bug outfit for the CK toddler avatar.. I practically begged her to make it for the Toddleedoo too because it just looked super cute. I know what I said about bugs, but when somethings cute.. it's cute. Y'know? Anyway, like the awesome person she is she totally surprised me by actually making it.

It comes with the antennae, heart glasses, binky with lady bug hanging from it, lady bug wings, clothing HUD, mesh top, skirt, shoes and doll wearing a matching outfit. You leave little lady bug prints when you walk too. Cute! Go grab yours at Basically Bratty Kids now! ♥
