Wonderful life

Sweet November outside. Last leaves have already fallen down from the trees. Strolling along the park in the morning I'm enjoying the last rays of the sun on my face. Whitish frost covers the grass and the ice has begun to constrain water. It seems that with the last flocks of birds my soul is  flying away. Soon  there will come  the endless black nights and I will enter into the period of melancholy and screeching halt. Inaction, passivity and unwillingness to do  or to change anything haunt me in the winter. So now, in a season that inspires me the most, I have to do the maximum! In plans there are articles, notes, long letters, and many other things that have long been waiting for me on the writing table. Autumn, don't leave me...

Soap Bubbles

Who among us doesn't love to receive gifts? :) But for me, there is nothing nicer than Halloween gifts! Me and my American friend Norman have a long tradition of exchanging festive parcels that day. This year he sent me an 8 pound box packed with all that could wish a Gothic heart! Among other enjoyable things there was an amazing vintage casket made in the form of a Hemingway's book. 

What was inside of it became for me an object of the real mania! And in fact this was just a soap! Who would have thought that the soap can be so creative, interesting, unusual?! And smell like holy heaven! So I can't resist and not to introduce to you Nature's emporium soap company. 

I was gifted with 3 kinds of this paradise  pleasure: Thunder moon, Golden pumpkin and Sugar bar. I will tell about them in order. 

So #1 Thunder moon

It refers to the collection of ethnic flavors and associated with the Native American myths. Invigorating as the July Thunderstorms, this soap is a sure energizer. 

Cocoa Butter & Shea Butter. Essential Oils of Juniperberry, Cedar and Lavender. 

#2 Golden pumpkin

This is my favorite! It smells so incredibly delicious that I don't want to let it from my hands! Warm Vanilla, Spicey Cinnamon & Honey combine to make this a romantic Autumn bar. 

Handcrafted with Saponified Olive, Soy, Coconut, Sweet Almond & Castor Oils. 

Cocoa Butter & Shea Butter. Oils of Vanilla, Cinnamon & Honey.

And finally #3 Sugar bar

If the previous was the best in its smell, this one is undoubtedly the best in design. Just look at this traditional skull and a great combination of colors. Celebrating our Ancestors the way of the South West, the Sugar Bar featuring art by Sarah Hart! This Bar smells so sweet you will want to eat it! Just like Sugar and combined with Coconut & Palm Sugar ~ it is sure to make your shower a true TREAT! 

Trick or treat - the bitter and the sweet!

(My Vampira costume for this Halloween)

In the gloomy autumn evening on the eve of All Saints' Day, evil creeps out on dark streets to tickle nerves of belated passers. Among the whirlwind of ghouls and devils, continually flashed others, unusual and frightening characters.  This is seductive Witch who enchants men with devilish elixirs, and the mysterious Mummy that keeps the secrets of Egyptian gods immortality.  Along with them that night resurrects personages of old Hollywood horror tapes, who eager to make their nightmares come true - undead creations of Victor Frankenstein and sinister Vampira. And those who will slip from their fangs will face Alice from Wonderland,  with a sweet smile hiding behind her back a dagger.

So, dear friends, Happy Halloween! And Rebel Dolls have already started to celebrate it in the St. Petersburg restaurant of horror aesthetics - "The Bat". I wish you a great damn fun evening! V~V

She's in parties

On Friday, November 17 was held the first party of Rebel Dolls - "Rebel Night." This gig was dedicated to the birth of our project and the celebration of the birthday of one of our girls - Miss Christine! Despite the fact that this is our first event - the club was packed with guests. Almost whole rockabilly hangout of our city danced with us that night :) We spent a lot of pin-up contests, listened to the best hits and had fun until the morning. It sounds crazy, but we even had a limbo! :)

There comes a train long-suffering

(Many thanks to my sweet sister for those wonderful photos)

Do you know about the existence of a special train  romance? The sound of wheels, landscapes careening outside the window, quiet conversation with a friend, and, finally, reading your favorite book about distant unknown countries. I traveled many miles by train: from St. Petersburg to the north of Russia, from  the old European cities to the others, from the capital of India to  the place, where white people are still a rarity. Train for many years has been not only my best friend, but a friend of every traveler. However, now the trains have become so fast that some grain of adventure became lost. We are accelerating our pace, while any journey should be akin to prolonged meditation. That's why I was so pleased with the images of vintage steam locomotives, awaken in everyone who is close to them, the spirit of the brave discoverer.

(Of course, I could not resist the temptation to visit St. Petersburg museum of vintage trains together with my friends. It was a gorgeous autumn day!)

October and the trees are stripped bare of all they wear. What do I care?

(Me, Irina Voorhees, Julia Pchela, Kristina Boyko)

As soon as on the new sheet of calendar appears word 'October', in my head softly and thoughtfully, starts to sound old U2 song.  Such a simple and touching, it  characterized  this month the best. The keys in this song are similar to the the last glimpses of the warm sun, which soon will be hidden from us for the long winter months. October is intoxicating, makes us poetic and melancholic. The body falls into a trance and all that I want to do - just to admire the golden leaves, floating on the cooling waters of  my soul.

With a rebel yell she cried more more more

Hi dears! Forgive me for my silence, but my head is spinning from the different cases. Soon there will be our new photosets, and we are actively preparing for Halloween! All this is very difficult. You know what is female character :) Our team consists of 5 girls and  all with different interests and beliefs. So, many ideas are born in the debate. I hope we can overcome everything, because we are waiting for so many interesting things to come ;)
