Today I have the great honor to presen you a new release of Inga Winds Clothing.
The “Night Fae in Peach”

This outfit is really cute and comes with many different options. Lemme start with the Fae it self.

I chose the short skirt for this look cause, I wanted to have a cute sweet fae a little bit like a fairy. The outfit contains the great  flapping wings and a sweet magic wand. As a plus Inga added a big silver moon to pose in to get the real fae feeling. The shoes you can see at all 3 styles come with the outfit.
Up next I will tell you some about the gown version. The set conatins also a long skirt version that gives you a very classy touch. I matched it with the aerial soft feather boa to give the whole style a very high class touch. The boa is part of the set too!
The 3rd possibility is a very sweet playfully one. Short pants who give a little lingerie like touch.
But we can take a closer look at the great detailed accessoires to see them better, as we know that exactly this detailes are made with love by Inga Winds.

The long skirt has a very nice “belt” roll that leads over the hips. This is a nice ability to smooth the break between a prim skirt and the top without haveing a bad angle!
The short skirt as many little ruffles and fist perfectly round your upper legs.
For a better view i included a close up of the magic wand;-)
Take a look at the sweet ruffles for the short pants option..aren’t they amazing? They give the panty style a very playfully maybe a light vintage touch and it would be a great outfit for a pinup shoot i guess
The shoes i have as the last close up are included in the set as i mentioned before.

This whole set will be available NOW in the Mainstore of Inga Wind Clothing..so hurry there and get yours

Tredje boken om Mercedes Thompson och jag tycker att de blir bättre och bättre. Här är det Mercys gamle mentor Zee som ber henne om en tjänst: Att i sin coyoteform lukta sig runt i husen hos en rad mordoffer på reservatet för faes. En enda person har varit i alla husen, vakten O’Donnell, en människa. När Zee och uncle Mike beger sig till O’Donnell för att ta itu med honom, upptäcker de att nån annan hunnit före. Men när polisen kommer dit hittar de Zee med blod på händerna, så han åker i fängelse.
Mercedes sätter livet på spel flera gånger om i sin strävan att fria gamle Zee. Hon råkar illa ut, riktigt illa.
Jag gillar Patricia Briggs sätt att mixa nutiden med gammal folklore och sagor om pepparkakshus och förtrollade gåvor. Jag gillar Mercy mer och mer. Detta är den tredje boken i serien, läs här om första, Moon Called, och andra , Blood Bound. Och efter att ha läst på dn.se att “eskapism är 2000-talets absoluta innedrog” så känner jag mig väldigt inne nu.

Sarah Palin is at it again. Just what the heck is she trying to do? Does she think that she has a flying chance to become president elect in 2012? Well just maybe she will and why? doomsday. Yep… Doomsday will have to happen before she will ever become president. I can’t predict the future, but I have a strong feeling that she will lose horribly. Honestly, whoever has seen her on TV while she was with Mcain will know what a train wreck she was.

The Best thing that will come out of this, is a reprisal of making fun of her on SNL, Tina Fae, Batter up!

Yes boys and girls, I went and got myself a new tattoo a few weeks ago and I love it! I’ve been a fan of Jasmine Becket-Griffith for years and when I recieved a flyer in the mail advertising her new figurine line through The Bradford Exchange, the picture of this figurine, Ruby, just kept sticking in my mind. Here’s a pic of the figurine:

Sweet right? So as fate would have it, after I’d stewed over the idea for awhile, I friended a tattoo artist on facebook through a mutual friend. I decided to ask for a quote, and as they say, the rest is history! Here’s my tatt: (It’s on the side of my right calf in case anyone wants to know).

And here’s the picture the artist took for his portfolio on the day we did the 6 hours of carving my leg tatt! The artist is Tex Nobles from OM Studio. He did an awesome job. She’s beautiful no?

For some reason, Sherrilyn Kenyon’s character Simi comes to mind when I look at it, but I just flat out fell in love with the picture and had to have it! So what do you all think?

I was looking through my posts, and is it possible I never posted a blog entry on this book series. I couldn’t believe it. I was looking for a post I didn’t have? The reason is someone asked me if this series was okay for teenagers and younger audiences. Well I couldn’t really say. I am not a parent personally so these types of questions I can’t really answer accurately. But I can say that these books are bloody. But book blood isn’t the same as seeing blood on a tv screen. So although I could say there is a lot of violence, murder, and sexual stuff. The best way to sum it up is, if you don’t let your children watch the news, then don’t let them read these books. They are pretty much like that. All the terrible things that you hear about in the news and about people, happen in these books. Things that everyone has to deal with, whether it happens to you or someone you know.

It is real life, except with vampires, and not always the happy side of life either. Although Sookie meets lots of interesting people she can call friends. And instead of there only being one guy, there are many. And Bill is not my favorite. Ugh Bill, what a stalker. I can’t really say why they are so popular. I guess as a reader I get attached to Sookie, and I don’t want anything bad to happen to her. Like Mac in Karen Marie Moning’s Fever Series, Sookie is kinda going crazy and getting deeper and deeper into the vampire world, which is a dangerous one. Perhaps I keep reading because you know that Sookie is getting into trouble, and you want to know how she can survive. Plus the characters are so interesting and amusing. Eric is my favorite.

I am not sure what else I can say except give you the list of books in order. Which is always a nice thing to have. And I have to say the Charlaine Harris’s website sucks! Get a new web designer. Also I am sorry everybody, TRUE BLOOD is dumb. There is way too much sex in it and it has nothing to do with the book series, regardless of the plot being similar. Also the most interesting thing about the series is you never really know what Sookie is thinking. All right, here is the list.

No pacote dos seis Mirages que a Venezuela vai doar para o Equador serão enviados também alguns mísseis, informou o comandante da FAV, general José Gregorio Pérez, durante a entrega dos três primeiros exemplares. No entanto, não foram especificados o modelo nem a quantidade de mísseis.

O Equador recebeu seus três primeiros Mirage-50 hoje. O aviões voaram até uma base militar localizada em Taura, 280 km sudoeste de Quito. Os aviões vieram tripulados por pilotos venezuelanos e foram escoltados por dois Mirage-F1 e um Kfir da FAE.

Os outros três Mirage-50 deverão chegar dentro de um mês. Os aviões estão em ótimas condições apenas com “problemas” no radar de bordo. Algo que pode ser reparado ao custo de 2,8 milhões de dólares.

Estas aeronaves serão utilizadas na defesa do espaço aéreo equatoriano, pois a capacidade operativa da FAE está muito baixa, próxima de 25%.

Atualmente a governo do Equador promove uma modernização na FAE que inclui, além dos Mirages venezuelanos, a compra de 12 ‘Cheetahs’ da África do Sul, 24 Super Tucanso do Brasil e helicópteros indianos.

The filthy subhuman slumdogs from the shithole subcontinent cannot make even a decent fountain pen. So what happens when they build a cheap chopper? It crashes like the piece of shit it is! The Ecuadoreans, who were tricked and/or bribed into buying seven of these shitty slumdog helicopters, have just realized this.

Showcasing the utter incompetence of the Indian slumdogs on the world stage, one of their “best” exports crashed spectacularly during a ceremony held to mark the 89th anniversary of the Ecuadorian Air Force. A brand-new Dhruv chopper, built by the slumdog company HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited), was flying in formation with two other choppers over an Air Force base near Quito, when it suddenly veered off course, slammed into the ground and broke into pieces. The pilots managed to get out in one piece and were admitted to a hospital.

Obviously the incident was a huge embarassment for the Ecuadorean Air Force and it immediately grounded six similar slumdog choppers in its fleet. Ecuador purchased seven of these shitty choppers from India for $45.2 million. The poor Ecuadoreans! If only they had realised that the slumdogs were fraudsters who cannot even write two lines of simple code, their Air Force would not have embarassed itself on its 89th anniversary. This is what those who buy products built by semi-literate slumdogs can expect:

Here is a video that showcases slumdog technology at its very best. After causing the crash of the American economy by importing hundreds of thousands of semi-literates on fraudulent H-1B visas to write code, the slumdogs have brought the Ecuadorean Air Force down with a resounding thud!

Helicopter crashes during Air Force celebrations in Ecuador

Quito: An Ecuadorian Air Force helicopter crashed Tuesday as it flew near Quito air base during celebrations to mark the 89th anniversary of the service, Ecuadorian media reported…

…The helicopter, an Indian-made Dhruv, had been bought this year…

EarthTimes

Watch hilarious videos of the slumdog made chopper going down like a piece of shit on Momento24, MSN and 3News.

The Ecuadorians are trying to find out what went wrong with the slumdog built helicopter. One possibility is that they forgot to add cow-piss to the chopper’s tank. Ecuadorean dairy farmers, cattle breeders and ranchers can now expect some large orders for cow-urine from their Air Force. After all, it would require a lot of cow-piss to run a fleet of slumdog built choppers.

It wasn’t just the pilots who were very lucky to be taken to the hospital in one piece. Had the shitty chopper crashed into the crowd, dozens would have been killed.

Shameless, incompetent Hindu hoodlums! Cow-piss drinking subhumans! Curry-munching pigs! Untouchability practising, female baby butchering bastards! Keep your freaking cow-piss guzzling choppers to yourselves, you squalid sons and dotheaded daughters of slumdogs and slumbitches!

El Dhruv caido (Click para ver mas fotos en Saorbats)

Un helicóptero Dhruv se precipitó a tierra este martes durante una ceremonia por el aniversario de la Fuerza Aérea Ecuatoriana (FAE).  Todas la operaciones de los Dhruvs han sido suspendidas, incluido el helicóptero al servicio del presidente Rafael Correa.

El Dhruv siniestrado perdió altura cuando realizaba un viraje y se precipitó sobre la pista del aeropuerto de Quito frente a periodistas  y autoridades entre las cuales se encontraban el vicepresidente de Ecuador y la cúpula militar. Los tripulantes del helicóptero, capitanes Luis Armas (piloto) e Iván Abril (copiloto) sobrevivieron. “Los dos tripulantes lograron salir por sus propios medios y fueron llevados al hospital. Sus condiciones son aparentemente buenas ” , dijo a periodistas el jefe de Estado Mayor de la FAE, general Leonardo Barreiro, quien apuntó que el aparato “ quedó destruido ” .

Barreiro dijo que la FAE formó de inmediato una junta investigadora para determinar las causas del accidente.

Media hora antes del siniestro el comandante de la FAE, general Rodrigo Bohórquez, vaticinó el éxito que tendrían los Dhruv “Los helicópteros son antiaccidentes, pues se ha comprobado su seguridad en vuelo”.

El helicóptero es uno de los siete que Ecuador compró a la India, cinco de los cuales se recibieron hace seis meses. Los Dhruv  fueron comprados luego de que la FAE y la Junta de Defensa realizaran un  concurso de ofertas, que se inició en marzo de 2008. Inicialmente la FAE declaró desierto el concurso, pero luego de un cambio de autoridades se concretó la operación.

Esta compra fue cuestionada porque los helicópteros Dhruv habían tenido problemas en el rotor de cola, sufriendo diversos  accidentes en  2004, 2005 y  2007 por este motivo. Este cuestionamiento también se debía a la falta de certificación FAA. Esta certificación de seguridad de vuelo es emitida por la Administración Federal de Aviación de EE.UU (FAA, por sus siglas en inglés) y este requerimiento se mencionaba en las bases de la licitación, según lo que afirma diario El Comercio. En julio de 2008, el comandante de la FAE, general Bohórquez, dijo a ese mismo diario que  las certificaciones de seguridad de vuelo de la FAA “son de tipo civil y no entorpecen el trabajo militar”.  La Fuerza Aérea Ecuatoriana (FAE) finalmente firmó el contrato para la compra de los siete helicópteros indios.

Pero la información mas preocupante tiene que ver con las declaraciones del general Bohórquez luego del accidente de este martes. Adelantando su opinión ante un grupo de periodistas, culpó a los pilotos por emocionarse durante la maniobra y perder el control.“Es lamentable que mis pilotos se emocionen tanto en las maniobras que lleguen a perder el control” mencionó.

El general Bohórquez sabe bien que quien debe determinar las causas de los accidentes aéreos es la Junta Investigadora de Accidentes. Declaraciones públicas sobre las causas del siniestro por parte del comandante de la Fuerza Aérea, antes que la junta se expida, están fuera de lugar. En el mejor de los casos, condiciona a los investigadores. En el peor, suena a intromisión para forzar una resolución premeditada.

Pero lo lamentable es el hecho de culpar a sus propios subordinados de una forma tan burda. Mas allá que la causa pueda haber sido un error humano, los capitanes Armas y Abril se merecen todo el apoyo de su comandante hasta tanto la junta determine el motivo preciso del siniestro.

Es posible que el general Bohórquez se sienta personalmente involucrado por haber llevado adelante la compra de estos helicópteros. Cuál es la razón que lo lleva a ensayar una defensa tan apresurada de los Dhruvs, aún culpando sin prueba alguna a sus pilotos? Los accidentes ocurren y ninguna aeronave es perfecta. Siente acaso el general que hay algo sobre los Dhruvs que lo puede manchar?

Y si en definitiva fue un error de los pilotos; no es acaso comandante de la FAE el máximo responsable de la selección y entrenamiento de los integrantes de la Fuerza Aérea Ecuatoriana? Lamentarse por tener pilotos emocionales que pierden el control es en definitiva involucrarse a sí mismo.

La consecuencia mas grave de este accidente es una cuestión de liderazgo. Es sobre un general y el apoyo de éste a sus hombres. Es sobre pilotos militares y la confianza de éstos en quien debe conducirlos. Un helicóptero se reemplaza. Una falla se soluciona. El adiestramiento se mejora. Un mal ejemplo destruye lo que cien buenos lograron construir.

Some of you may remember my old Starlight skins from days of yore.  Next to the Retro Pinup skins, these were some of the most popular skins I’ve ever made.  I was a little sad to retire them because I just adored the makeup on them so much, it’s one of my favorites!  But I was super unhappy with the bodies I had butchered back then so they got the chop.  Well after a few requests to bring them back, I decided it was time to revist them so they’ve been revamped in a few new color schemes and all on the latest bodies.  So without further ado… here’s the new skins in Peach.. click over to my Flickr page to see the other skin tones. ^^
