Things I love Thursday: carnival photography

I am in {BIG} love with all things retro carnival, circus and fair, especial retro styled original carnival photos like 'The Grand Wheel' by Bucks Country Frames.


I am also {intensely} drawn to Elgar Boart's 'Vintage Swing' in Sydney, Australia.

And what's a carnival without a merry-go-round? This one was taken by bomobob and is of the world-famous, antique Tibidabo Carrousel in Barcelona Spain at Tibidabo park.

I almost forgot the 'Cotton Candy' by Eyeful. {That would have been a terrible travesty!}

I did {purposely} forget the scary clowns...though you can do your own quick ETSY search for 'scary clown' if you are feeling brave and adventurous! {I wouldn't click that last link- if I were you!}

What to do Friday?: Johnny Depp movies!

So what's girl to do when her husband is away for the weekend? Rent Johnny Depp movies of coarse! I have a stack, 3 movies high. I just hope that will be enough. 1st up is the sinfully delicious: Chocolat a hot and 'steamy' romance flick about a young mother (Juliette Binoche), who moves to the French village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes and opens a {yep, you guessed it} La Chocolaterie. The town people find her chocolate to be quite scandalous!
Next in my cue is Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. It is the perfect Victorian, Steampunk melodrama {slash, slasher flick} about an English barber (Depp) who murders his customers with a straight razor {I cover my face a lot in this one}, and with the help of his accomplice Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter), processes their corpses into meat pies {so glad I am a vegetarian!}.
Sleepy Hollow is a period flick, slash horror film directed {as was Sweeny Todd and 1/2 dozen other Johnny flicks} by the genius Tim Burton. In this one Johnny Depp plays police detecive Ichabod Crane who is brough in from NY to find the murderous headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow. I love a good period flick!There are so many more but we will save those for another time...

Dark Beauty Magazine- custom scent design


http://www.etsy.com/listing/70354377/acid-reign-artisan-perfume-oil-dark

Introducing, a Dark Beauty Magazine exclusive scent:

"Gin is so sweet and she knows her shit... with her magical mixing test tubes (Gin) made what is now Dark Beauty Magazine's exclusive scent, appropriately named, ACID REIGN."- Topher Adam creator of www.darkbeautymag.com

Beware... all ye who tread here. SteamBath artisan perfume oils are not for the faint of heart. Anoint pulse points to reach your pentacle of desirability, if you dare.

■ ACID REIGN:...dark... primal... unisex, this blend begins with Pre-Columbian copal, a resin used by the Aztecs as an incense during their human sacrifice rituals, many moons ago. To bring this scent into the 21st century; a bit of black coffee. For sophistication; a splash of fig. For that erotic twist: a hint of bitter sweet chocolate & dark red black current liqueur.

■ Perfume OIl Ingredients :fragrance oil, therapeutic grade oils of sesame, rice bran, jojoba, apricot kernal
