Paris Romance


Romance, is a wonderful thing, and it has as many definitions as their are people to give their definition of it. What is romantic to one person, may do absolutely nothing for another. It is a widely known opinion that Paris is one of the most romantic places on earth, and yet, for us, Paris does not bring thoughts of romance it brings thoughts of narrow roads and crazy drivers, too many people and memories of classmates brushing their teeth in the bidet at the hotel. None of these things bring thoughts of romance, even if they do bring some pretty funny memories of a very drunken start of a senior year trip to Europe.

Santa Buddies Training Camp


If you have children, it is almost guaranteed that you have seen Snow Buddies or Santa Buddies at least 15 times during any given Christmas season. I know that we spent many a movie night with the buddies year round, but always at Christmas.

I could not resist making a Santa Buddy training camp when I saw the oh so adorable Christmas costume options Jian has made for their Lab Puppy collection. There is also a Holiday bandana option as well for these little cuties !

GOOSE provides the perfect winter campsite and InkMe brings you a nice cozy cabin for when the fire burns low and shelter is needed.

Be Merry Y’all


“We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing”

– George Bernard Shaw


Nothing in our life proves this quote more true than our Mother ! Our mother is 64 years old, and more often than not, we are constantly asked if we are sisters and not mother and daughter. Blessing and a curse, because it means she looks younger than she is or we look older, not sure which is worse !

Playhouse Furniture Included in pack or available separately

In the past 4 years, our mother has broken into her best friends barn, and decorated her cows in santa hats, reindeer antlers and LED Christmas lights. She committed that act of breaking and decorating while on her way to the mall, where she was dressed in a full Grinch costume, and went to stand in line to sit on Santa’s lap and ask him what the deal was with all this good cheer. Much to the delight of all the children, and parents, present. That, is our mum. I hope we inherited her never ending child spirit along with the love for adult humor and snarky comments.

Temptation


Days of Thanksgiving #16.

Today we are thankful for our greatest temptation, Troy. We had thought about saving Troy for Thanksgiving Day, but just like any other temptation we simply could not resist. Our lives have been changed in so many ways for the better over the past nearly 5 years, that we can not even begin to list them all here, nor do we need to, because he already knows all of them. He will be the very first to tell you that he never did anything, and he is right, we did all the work, but it was with his love and support that we felt safe enough to do that work. we are stronger now than we have ever been, and that is not an exaggeration. the love we all share is the most healing and secure love we have ever known.

If you are in need of your own temptation, we direct you over to the Unik Event, where you can pick up the Belzebubble – Taylor Set to wear while you run your way to get your grub on from the BSHouse – Cat Burger Cart.

In Flander Fields


  Days of Thanksgiving # 11

Today we give thanks to our military service members. Those that fell in battle and those who were left to mourn them. Those that served in conflict, and peace time. We give thanks to you all.

In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow
         Between the crosses, row on row,
       That mark our place; and in the sky
       The larks, still bravely singing, fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the dead. Short days ago
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
       Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
                              In Flanders fields.

    Take up our quarrel with the foe:
    To you from failing hands we throw
       The torch; be yours to hold it high.
       If ye break faith with us who die
    We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
                                In Flanders fields.

Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae

Anti-Glamping


Growing up, family camping was a regularly scheduled part of every summer vacation. Sleeping bags and tents, campfires and s’mores. We loved it, before we knew there were better options. As adults, we far prefer getting out nature on by GLAMping, not camping. Cabins with beds, air conditioning and indoor plumbing is where it is at for us these days.

If you prefer to be closer to nature, you can do that with the new Wildlife Camping Tent from CHEZ MOI for Cosmopolitan from October 31st – November 12th.

The The Green Door – Camp Fire Set as well as the Simply Shelby – Rustic Log Footbridge are both available at their respective main stores.

Horny Halo’s

Abby Kἶʂოεէ Anatine (kaoie): Nite Arysta the Angel!

I am dedicating today’s post to Abby Anatine, aka Shorty, for the quote shown above. The very idea that those words were said with our name, is hysterical in and of itself, but as we always remember, Lucifer was an Angel too, so, we have hope !

The most common joke about us and angels is that we ordered extra halos and had them shrunk down and wear them as nipple and clit rings, so they are harder to lose. This usually gets more than a couple chuckles when said in local chat, which does get mentioned with some regularity.

Today’s outfit does not show off those halos but Lilleth Mills – Fallen outfit comes complete with Bra,Top,Skirt and Horns. The top has its own effects HUD allowing you to adjust the level of transparency, and all pieces come with effects HUD for shine, glow, environment and reflection color.

The heavenly Sleeping Satellite Necklace and Earrings by Second Nature Jewellery are available this weekend, October 20 – October 23, for the Saturday Sale, and out a little early for your pleasure !

There are so many amazing pose options to be found at LUSH and on the Lush Marketplace you are sure to find something for every creative desire !

Burn Baby Burn


I have to admit, when we saw this Pyre from Short Leash for We Love Roleplay , running till October 28th, the ideas started flying through our heads about a post for it. We had so many thoughts going around and around about not just historical witch hunts, but the modern day ones as well. It saddens us that in this day and age, after all that history should have taught humanity about equality and freedom, it seems like we have taken more steps backwards than we have forward.

There is a 2006 movie called Idiocracy, which makes me wonder if the writers had gone back in time to make a movie that could be ripped right out of the present days news broadcast. I am not quite sure what makes us shake our head more, the fact that someone is afraid that a Disney movie is going to put a spell on them through their television, of that the news media who capitalized on her poor mental health.

While we are speaking of burning, this Sexy Cheryl suit from LsR at FameshedX is so hot it should come with its own fire extinguisher. It comes with the top, bottoms and arm chains. FameshedX runs until November 6th.

I can not speak about these Twinkles from Cerridwens Cauldron enough. they have quickly become a favorite of mine for so many things. In today’s photo they worked perfectly for adding some hot sparkly fire embers, but they can also be used to add some twinkly lights to your regular trees for a more festive look. You can grab these at a discounted price during the Hallow Manor event which runs until November 1st.

Space Time Disturbance


Recently, a mutual friend had a bright lightbulb moment that a creator friend of hers, would love our blogger style and threw us together. The initial conversation with Vin Aydin Raven-Mysterious proved just how right she was. I made a comment during that conversation about how at times our creativity goes so far out of the box that it should have its own gravitational field, and thus, the theme for this very first post as blogger for Be My Mannequin needed to lack gravity. This Earth Is Hard pose is available at The Darkness till October 28th.

You can fly over to Unik for the Aitana outfit from Dark Love, Livido – Handle Loop Implanted and Stella skin from CHSkins. If you should find yourself in need of some little assistants, you can pick up the Kobe Robot set from InkMe.

Hell Hath No Fury


If your path demands you walk through hell, walk as if you own the place – Unknown

Survivors of childhood trauma walk through a lot of hell, and by learning to own the place, is how we survive it. Walking that fine line between owning it, and becoming it, is a very thin one. You have to learn to be the devil, without becoming a demon yourself. You learn to leash your demons like hell hounds, but even the best trainers drop a leash from time to time, and those demons come back to taunt you even years later. Picking the leash back up is not always easy, but you just keep reminding yourself that you did it once, you can do it again.

The Sexy Demon Hanna outfit from LsR is available now at Salem Event, and as you can see it is hotter than hell itself ! This Devilish pose set from LUSH comes with its own trident, but works perfectly with the Hanna spear as well !
