~Carnival of Rust~

Come, feed the rain

'Cos I'm thirsty for your love, dancing underneath the skies of lust

Yeah, feed the rain

'Cos without your love my life ain't nothing, but this carnival of rust

~*~ Cirque de Seraphim~*~

The circus came to town.. to support a fantastic cause...

As part of Cirque de Seraphim, designers will contribute 50% of the sales from a minimum of one exclusively created item to ASPCA, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. According to the Cirque de Seraphim blog 450,000L has been donated so far and if you're like me I'm like "what's that in real time donation money. It's over $1800 USD!!! This event is truly close and dear to my heart as we have adopted many pets through the years from shelters. Currently we have 2. (Well three if you count the stray we found, nourished, tamed and self adopted to only have our neighbor steal her and take her to the pound. THEN we had to adopt her from the shelter to bring her home where she belonged. Sadly, at the time I didn't have much money and they wanted 40.00 to save her so my sons pitched together to give their little sister the money to bring her home. It was amazing how the family supported our cat Patches.)

Dark Passions: Alaric 

In this picture Cedric is wearing the Alaric Mesh Gothic Jacket in Red. It comes in a few other colors as well but we chose red because it matched me! We did not buy this from the event but actually asked BCreative if we could blog it and she's amazing and said yes! So I really wanted to showcase something of her guy's line too!

The pose that we're using is by !bang called Captivate. I love it because Cedric is just amazing and sometimes carries me when I can't carry myself. He's truly a wonderful man and I'm lucky and blessed to share both a SL life with Him as well as real life.

My hair is by .ploom called Pwny this hair comes with animal head bands, I figured I'd be a bear! *RAWR!*

The outfit I'm wearing is also by Dark Passion called Victorian Ringmistress this comes in red as well as black. Both top and shorts, please be aware that these are sold separately!

I'm wearing the Dark Passions-Wicked Clown nail polish. (Have I ever mentioned I am scared of clowns?) When I applied this for the first time I totally jumped in my chair! I'm serious! but because I adore the creator and it's for such a fun event I needed to wear the polish. Plus it's just ... WICKED! :)

So I am a fan of the polishes that Dark Passions creates so I couldn't let this blog post go without showcasing both polishes. The first three pictures are of the Harlequin polish also available at Cirque de Seraphim. As well as Wicked Clown. :) I believe she has other polishes available but you'll just have to go, rush and buy them! They're truly amazing and I promise that you won't be disappointed.

Our other rescue animals

This is Sassy. We adopted her shortly after we adopted Belle (The beautiful dark kitty below) My mom has always been a huge fan of dachshunds, she was given to our local shelter because her previous owners couldn't feed her anymore. Sassy was VERY well loved and we thank her former parents for loving her enough to find her a new forever home. She didn't even make it to the floor of the shelter before we were called (Because I had a friend who worked at the local shelter) and told that Sassy was there. We brought Belle with us to meet Sassy and though it wasn't love at first site for them we knew they'd be okay when we brought her home. She and Belle have been with us almost 6 years now.

and

The yellow kitten is actually a kitten that we found on Craig's list so in a way she's a rescue kitten as well we just saved her from going to the pound, But the beautiful kitty in the background is our Belle that we saved 5 years ago.. or did she save my mom? I'm never quite sure to be honest.

I can't let ANY blog post go without posting something about shoes.. You know that right? Well these fantastic boots are called RingMistress boots and can only be bought AT Cirque de Seraphim so hurry and get yours because after this event, a little bird says they will be tucked away until the circus returns to the grid. They come in red and black I'm wearing one of each because I'm just crazy like that sometimes, lol and really wanted to show them both and how beautiful they are! 

The pose that is being used in this picture is by RIDIC called Aerial hoop, this is one of several poses that you can get in a gacha! The adorable hair is by  [^.^Ayashi^.^] called Rini hair, the hat is called Persefona Circus Hat which is a new creator for me, I'd never heard of them but the hat was to perfect to pass up.
