Maraschino Cherries for garnish (I recommend Luxardo Cherries.) Add all ingredients to a martini shaker filled with ice. Shake and strain into glass. Add a cherry for garnish. You can sub lemonade for the lemon juice if it's too tart. Sorry, couldn't resist, you made me think of my favorite thing to do with Midori. 2 1 The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?

DesertPhantom51 Posted September 15, 2022 Oh, that looks tasty, I'll have to give it a try! I always make my own simple syrup, it's so easy and then you get to play around with flavors and infusions that way. I tried making my own marachino cherries once too, they turned out meh, and you're right, Luxardo are delicious! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DesertPhantom51 Posted September 28, 2022 (early since I'm busy on the 1st) October and the Spooky Season is upon us! I love Halloween as it makes me happy to see people's creativity when it comes to decoration and costumes. Special events, fun scary movies, costumes, and pumpkin spice or apple flavored everything! Of course I have to include my girls in this, so let's see what they're up to: Clanking chains, chilling cold and spooky sounds give proof that there are ghosts around! Samus starts us off as an elegantly eerie ghost! Be careful about doors you find closed, you never know who will answer when you knock! Katie is here as a sultry devil! Spooky fun and spooky sounds, haunted karaoke seems like a fun way to haunt around: If singing in the woods near a hell door isn't your jam (I don't know why it wouldn't be) you could always swing by a graveyard and see who's stirring and flapping around. Here's Emma as a stately Raven, of the saintly days of yore. dark and dreary a spirit lamp to help light the way I think better and finally a way to find Lydia as our lost Lenore, nameless here forevermore and the lamp-light o'er her streaming throws her shadow on the floor; and my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor shall be lifted--nevermore! but perhaps beauty can't be held back by death? Dude! I already said NEVERMORE!! Of course we all have to finish up with a fun night trick-or-treating! I hope everyone has a safe and fun month! Thanks for stopping by, and Happy Halloween!! 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pit Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) I was thinking Samus' was my favorite but then I saw the rest and couldn't choose. The quality and thematic of all are awesome. Lovely photo session as always! PD: Idk why but I couldn't help to imagine Mr. Metroid singing this song during the photo session: Edited September 29, 2022 by Pit 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RetroKanojo Posted September 30, 2022 This was such a fun read 😂 I love how you turned the shoot into a little storyline. When Emma went 'Dude! I already said NEVERMORE!!' it actually got a chuckle out of me. I just could so vividly imagine her slamming her hands on that gravestone! Great job and hope you have a good, spooky time! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DesertPhantom51 Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) November's post is going to come later in the month than normal, as I'm not ready to give up on Halloween to start working on that yet. So here's a fun snap of a little devil to tide you over to go with the one in the ABC game thread. Happy Halloween everybody! On 10/30/2022 at 12:25 AM, BeyondTime said: This was really good btw.

I was wondering if anybody had made any of the cocktails. It is a fantastic gin, if you're interested you should follow them on Facebook, they post a lot of really great cocktail recipes and I've enjoyed a lot of them.

DesertPhantom51 Posted November 12, 2022 Hey, this thread is officially three years old! November has come, and that means longer nights, family gatherings, and the dreaded Black Friday. That's the theme for this month, I can't think of anyway to church up shopping like maniacs, but I did think of some cute outfits! Emma and Katie showing the duality of whom you run into at the big box stores. My cousin and I used to get up early to go and do this, and it used to be so much fun! Lots of fun memories (and I worked a few too, and even had fun with that!) Lydia going the mall fashionista route, even some of the big names have deals to be found! and finally Samus knows how to do this thing right. In comfy clothes, with coffee and a computer! Thanks for stopping by, I hope everyone has a good month ahead of them, and safe travels to those going home to family! 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DesertPhantom51 Posted December 3, 2022 December is here and with it the Christmas Season! This time around, I wanted to do one of the most classic Christmas stories (especially now that I have enough girls for it!) A Christmas Carol. With so many different versions of the tale being told, I decided to do my own thing. Here's Samus to start things of as the titular character Scrooge. Bah, humbug! With a little Metroid Jacob Marley sneaking up! Expect the first ghost when the bell tolls one! Emma is our posh Ghost of Christmas Past The second ghost, when the bell tolls two! Lydia takes to the Ghost of Christmas Present and the third ghost, at three... Katie comes as the Ghost of Christmas yet to Come She's come with a warning to all of you, if you'll follow her directions... behold, a visage of things that might be! I mean, I knew that was coming, all these girls do is empty my wallet. Happy Holidays everyone! May the season bring you joy and warmth and see you safely through!

This was originally Samus's first New Years outfit (Christmas Past, get it? lol) but changing the leggings and the coat for Emma she probably won't be giving it back. lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
