Robin's Wolf

Did you ever play The Path? It's a a psychological horror game developed by independent game company Tale of Tales back in 2009. It freaked me out back then, I never finished it. The graphics, environment and characters are so intriguing I am tempted to go back and play, 4 years later hopefully I have grown a pair...

The Path is based on little red riding hood, it's a very short, slow paced game as you only ever guide the characters and when you want them to interact with objects or people, they do so on their own accord when you move near it and wait. It's an immersive game that sucks you, lacking-in-your face weapons and crude blood and gore, but rather its use of subtle, suggestive images that trigger dark themes within your own psyche, creating a personal nightmare. The soundtrack is bone chilling and your progress is deemed a success as you encounter different wolves and never return home to your sisters. All the endings are different depending on your character, wolf and objects you collect and encounter. Despite being the more traditional one, Robin was one of my 'favorites' to play...I tried not to kill any of them! :(

Good game though, if you're into Amnesia, Limbo and stuff this is a good short cheap game that won't completely consume your life if you get addicted to things like this easily. Need to be a patient cookie though!

Be sure to let me know if you find any gems, please?

Just another day of loving anything and everything for me! Your pet, your best friend, band, book, family...lucky enough to spend time with someone special perhaps? Dress for the occasion, listen to Lana Del Rey, be a little romantic in your own way. There's just no need to be a ralph or whiners off tumblr for that matter. BOOO HOO.

Sea Lion Goth Blues




So I've been getting some e-mails lately about my hair, what I use and how I keep it red. As you all know, red is a mad bitch to take care of hence I'm occasionally a lazy washed out red but I'll tighten up, now that it's the holidays! Or I might just pass on some red wisdom before I move onto a change?...

Anyway, I've tried heaps of permanent, semi permanent products as well as colour depositing shampoos. I'll run through a couple things I've tried and liked and what I'm using currently.

Firstly, Schwarzkopf live brilliance in hypnotic red was super easy to use and really lasted between hairdresser visits. The conditioner that comes with it makes you hair really soft, but being permanent, it's loaded with chemicals and stings so obviously it's not that good for you with prolonged use.

For shampoos and conditioners I've use John Frieda radiant red which is affordable and gentle. It cleansed really well and faded the colour a bit slower. I've also used PPS copper redz which is a semi permanent colour depositing shampoo that cleanses as well, this maintained a light copper red for months and months. When I went darker, it changed it back to copper red after about a month, but one of the best against fading. PPS also does awesome conditioners like colour lock.

Right now, I LOVE LOVE LOVE manic panic semi permanent pots. It's all natural, conditions as it colours and doesn't sting at all, you can use as much as you want and leave it in for as long as you like. I use it like a weekly treatment, just rub it in with gloves, leave it in for an hour and rinse out. You can mix your own shades, I use 3/4 rock n roll red and 1/4 vampire red. It lasts about 7 washes and keeps your hair soft and shiny. BUT be careful because the shower dyes so make sure you rinse the shower right after you rinse!

Shampoo wise, I use Kevin Murphy angel rise and angel wash (for thin/coloured hair) alternately with colour depositing products. His products are really light and are all made from sustainable resources, essential oils and plant extracts. They're sulphate and paraben free so it's great for sensitive skin and prolongs a wash, your hair doesn't become greasy as quickly. I love his cute packaging as well BUT it is pretty expensive in stores.

Try not to wash your hair (try to keep it every third day and use dry shampoo) or towel dry too much either. Use cold water! Don't let your roots grow more than 2 inches (not a rule I stick to heh, love making it harder for myself).

Anybody tried henna? I've been doing some research if I decide to stick to red.

Good luck!

UPDATE: ON BLEACH

Don't know much about DIYing this part. Personally I don't have the patience/ trust myself enough so I just go to the hair dressers (low budget tip; cheapo/student ones do good enough jobs then you can go home and adjust the colour as you go) to get my roots done and get my ends to match. I just think that you might as well go to someone, after a good few months when the colour isn't solid all the way through and you don't want to make any mistakes going from really dark to a really light and bright colour. But I know there are kits available at the supermarket or the manic panic stuff is safe and easy enough to use at home. If I get a chance to look into it, I'll let you know!

Oblivion











other images scanned by me; the celestial mirror by warren kenton

"The great celestial man with his body made up f the zodiac was a synthesis of working principles, each sign depicting a cosmic, terrestrial and organic function. Events above were matched by a response below, although not always in the most obvious way. Thus mars is a positive sign, aries might give one man a head wound or impel another to impulse; on a larger scale it could initiate a daring commercial enterprise, or precipitate war."

now there's a shitload of luck.
Feel free to ask about one!

So I haven't been bothered with colour lately
(have I ever been really?),
since my hair is freshly red again!
Thank you to all those tips
from you beautiful girls about the diligent
maintenance of a fiery red mane.

"If we were to wed"




(Had to show you this roz!)
Tim & Tim for harpers bazaar.

I would stab someone's leg for her red hair. I wish someone told me red was the hardest color to maintain. It's only been 3 weeks and my red is getting duller and duller, I'm hooked, addicted - like how people are to fake tan or botox. Must stock up on salon quality red hair dye and shampoo for red heads (containing red dye). Open to suggestions hot fake baked red heads out there!

I heard about using henna paint (cheaper and a way healthier) but apparently you can't have bleached or colored your hair for at least a year and even then, the results could be catastrophic, we are talking charcoal black hair forever or muddy green.
