An ode to myself... An Acrostic Poem Meme!

Miss Berry has done it again, and given us another stress inducingly, brain exercisingly hard Meme... A couple of week's back we headed into the realm of poetry and after my shockingly bad attempt at a Haiku a few weeks ago, I am not promising that this attempt at an Acrostic poem will be any better. I will also admit before I even start here that although Berry has her acrostic poem written on her blog, I did have an oopsie I'm a dumbass moment and thought "what the heck is an acrostic poem again?" - one was staring me in the face and I was still unable to work out what the heck it was LOL...While thinking I worked on a pretty, but kinda random "just like Rudhmellowen" photo...

Still I wracked my brain and tried to come up with something - first I was going to try one just for Rudh, but that didn't really give me much to play with so I held my breath and took a dive from the high board to create a poem for my full name - that's Rudhmellowen if you didn't know hehe...
In all its badly written glory, ladies and gentlemen, I give you an Acrostic poem about me...

It wasn't as hard to write as I thought it was however, thanks to the useful website link that Berry shared with us to provide a guideline for writing Acrostic Poems, I am not sure I am overly happy with my poem but to be honest this was MUCH better than some of the first attempts that I had made... I might try my hand to writing more, but on a side note to Berry - I know I asked in the past for harder Memes but come on dear it's nearly summertime, maybe something easier next week would mean we all keep our hair for the summer season... Not everyone looks good in hats LOL!!!

Summerfest '13, Where the MishMish Monster Plays!

Summer is coming - not that you'd know it too much in my RL neck of the woods - but SL is pulling out all the stops to make everyone feel summery... The events that are springing up all over the grid have the summer time feeling that I am definitely lacking at home.
The Summerfest  '13 started on the 15th and it's an event that will have you stripping to your undies and running for the waves at full speed. The location is jam packed with a collection of beach huts - with designers filling the little space and spilling out onto the beach - giving this place a real sense of a beach bazaar!

I have a couple of things from the event to show you, first up let's go with the freaking adorable otter that is sitting there on the grass minding his own business... I saw these on Sophia Harlow's blog and simply HAD to have one. !Oh Mai is selling them with a variety of different colours - and as avatars too - so it took me a while to pick the colour I wanted, and then to my excitement they come with a collection of different display versions and carry versions... I was showing mine off to everyone who would look - Bikers don't really seem to get my craziness for adorable stuff *pouts*! THEN, also from Summerfest '13 is this adorable pose prop friend called Dunneh - straight out of the mind of Aime Takaaki of MishMish - he has 4 different poses and comes with the Beware of the Waves Sign in the background. Who wouldn't want a lifeguard like this, just so long as he doesn't need to give mouth to mouth! 
Hmmm let's see what else do I want to rave about in this photo... OH the Bikini Top!!! This is part of a set from a Gacha by the store PixyStix. PixyStix is a store that is fairly new to me, but it is stuffed full of awesome goodies including skins and clothing. Anyway though, the bikini is one of 6 that can be won from the Gacha Event at the Colosseum - at 25L per try and each design coming with their own set of Tango appliers - who wouldn't want unicorn bikinis in their life hehe...  To complete the outfit I pulled on one of my go to skirts from Sugar and some crocs from Gos and these amazing tentacle socks from Silent Sparrow that were part of the Fifty Linden Friday line-up... I feel all Summery!!!

SL DisneyBound - Week 14

I am running more than a little late with this photo for the SL DisneyBound Challenge this week, and my reason is because I haven't actually been that motivated by the character. I haven't actually seen the movie and although I want to, and will see about getting myself a copy of it sometime today, I just haven't had the chance to yet! So OK I am a little slow off the starting point this week, but with that little speech said I move on to presenting what will be a shot in the dark for me hehe!

Week 14 - Vanellope Von Schweetz (From Wreck It Ralph)!

This little character, from what I can gather by reading around the subject of Wreck It Ralph, is a little glitchy, and that has made her face a lot of rejection from her other racers in the game Sugar Rush. Yet she has prevailed through that and become a cutie with a wicked sense of humour and a sharp tongue to boot... Sounds like we could all learn something from that in our SLives, definitely something that I am going to try and strive for anyway. 

So as I am a bit unfamiliar with this character I based her look off of pictures that I found in Google. She was actually pretty fun to work on, and the look seemed to just fall together - aside from the fact that this colour is one I wouldn't normally go anywhere near LOL... Maybe because I had so little of it in my hoard it was easier to make a look?! 
I bought this adorable new sweater from all.berries on the marketplace, and then as soon as I put on these tights from Sugar Heart that are available in a gacha at the Arcade I was happy with the look! It just needed a little candy and thanks to my necklace from Violet Voltaire - that is an oldie but still a freaking cute set - and a lollipop from Sugar I was ready to go... Now where did I leave my racing car? Maybe I left it at the sim I took the photo on... Cake is a place you can rez and it looks like its made of icing!!! WOW!

What is she wearing; 
Hair: Ploom - Gigi 
Skin: Sugar - XCX Avril in DB Cleavage 
Eyes: IKON - Horizon Eyes in Dark Verdigris 
Lollipop: Sugar - Dirty Pop in Melon Balls (Past Gacha Item - may still be available!) 
Sweater: all.berries - Wrap Cropped Sweater in Mint 
Necklace: Violet Voltaire - Lollipop Guild Necklace 
Top: TuttiFrutti - Gil Mesh Top in Cockatoo 
Skirt: PARADISIS - Falls Suede Skirt in Brown 
Tights: Sugar Heart - Sweet Factory Tights in Eye Candy RARE (Available now at the Arcade) 
Pose: Starry Heaven - Purikura 5

Make me a Movie Star... Movie Memes

So its another week and time for another Berry Meme... I am in the process of working on the Meme she offered up last week - to do with writing Acrostic Poems about SL - well it's harder than I thought it would be, and I really couldn't get into writing something. I don't want to put out a half-hearted effort LOL... I need it to be something worth reading hehe... SO for now I am skipping that Meme and working on it as I can spare time to think about writing poetry, for now I jump to this week and the Movie Poster Meme! 
There are some amazing movie posters that I have seen so far - everyone is so creative in putting their photography skills to use - but when I had to wrack my brain and think which movie do I want to base my poster on it was a little tough. There are so many awesome movies that I love but I wanted something simple... 

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is one of my favourite movies, I LOVE the music and the somewhat craziness of this random movie. I've seen this movie so many times that I've been able to recite the entire script word for word - not to mention the songs and the dancing! 
The randomness of this movie sums up my SL fairly well - my blog too I guess... So, on that note... All together now Ladies and Gentlemen... "Let's do the time warp againnnnnnnnnn!"

What is she wearing; 
Skin: Lamp*Light - Lady Shadow Skin 
Lipstick: Acid & Mala - Unusual Lipstick In M Dark Red 
Face Piercing: SHOCK - Kiss My Spikes in Zebra

A Visit to the Swamp

You might have heard me mention the Gators before now, and no doubt you will hear them being mentioned again but this is a post that was started in my brain by one of them. Angel came to me a few weeks ago to see if it would be OK for his friend Charyssi to come and take some photos of the clubhouse - the Gators MC home space - and the surrounding swamp, he even bribed me by showing me some of her other work - but I was more than willing to let anyone come in and enjoy the space.
For those of you that have never been to our home land, it is a relaxed and cosy feeling swamp with lots of places to explore, for those of you that know the land you might be in for a surprise as HellBone and Remus have been busy working their green fingers and have made a few rather gorgeous alterations - YAY Mesh that's all I can say!
So I have spoken to Charyssi and been given permission to share some of her amazing photos - I loaded the full set of photos onto the Gator blog seeing as they are focused on the area around the clubhouse - but I just wanted to share my personal favourite here and make sure that people check out her other amazing photos on her flickr photostream.

Sugar Fairies

Woot I'm on a roll... Second post today YAY! Back with more from Sugar and the gorgeous creations of Miss Iokko for the Depraved Nation Thrift Store event! Basically, the idea behind the event is that all the participating stores will have an exclusive item that will be sold at a discount price of 50% off the original price for a new release, as well as that some of the participating stores will also have Gatchas... As if the Gatchas at the Arcade weren't enough!

So when Io sent out her gacha item to the bloggers group, I pulled one of the items on and proceeded to dance around in it... I was the Pride and Honour MC Rally - an area filled with somewhat serious bikers that look at you like an alien sometimes - but as I was a little stuck with what to do with them, my big sister (and hot biker secretary) Julz suggested I was a fairy... DUN DUN DUNNNNN, Julz this one is kinda for you LOL!
Now the photo up above was me getting overly artistic and you cannot clearly see the item in question, but hey a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. I just felt artsy fartsy! Like those Victorian Photographs of fairies, I wanted a feeling like someone had caught a fairy on film, but I have had to throw together a little something to show off the sprouts being worn without all the faff... What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't actually showcase the item?!

They come in a variety of different colours and styles, but I loveeeeee ladybirds so this was the one for me!

What is she wearing; 
Antlers: Sugar - Thrift Sprout Gacha in Love Bug Sprout Rare (Available June 8th at the Depraved Nation Thrift Event)

Sugar Skins and Rainbow Nails!

In a blogging mood today, wonder how much I will actually be able to get done hehe... It's been a while since I was able to kick my blogging mojo into higher gear and get as much done as I would like - I blame the entertaining stuff, the Arcade for example, and the rally that the Gators are hanging out at, not to mention being somewhat uncomfortable sitting still at times due to the pain! - yet today I have much to talk about, so let the rambling commence. 
First off... SKIN! Now normally I don't ever feel the urge to blog like a fashion blogger - sometimes I do it but you know it's never very good LOL - yet with this particular release I simply couldn't hold back showing them off in the most clear way possible. 

The skins are from Sugar and will be released at a 50% discount for the Depraved Nation Thrift Shop Event, which starts today - although I don't have a LM for it yet, but I will try to update later on! Now I know Sugar skins aren't one of the "popular" brands favoured by many in SL, but I am happy to admit that I wear them as my regular everyday wear skins. They come with SO MANY EXTRAS - not only does each skin tone include two different brow colours, teeth options and cleavage options, you also get a box of modifications such as freckles, dimples, moles and brow shapers! PLUS, Iokko - Sugar's owner - has now delved into the murky depths of making appliers for both Lola Tangos and SLink hands and feet!!! 
Talking of SLink - and moving on to my second point too - I think I mentioned before about the Enhancement nails that you can wear on your basic SL hands. I've thought about trying hands but to be honest at the moment I'd rather have my money for shoes and clothes and hair, but who knows in the future LOL... For now I am more than happy with these Enhancement Nails and because there are SO MANY designers out there now who are jumping on the applier band wagon creating amazing nail varnishes, you might be able to see why! I've been wearing KOSH nail varnish since I was supplied with the Enhancement Nails but I couldn't resist taking some time to put together a little photo of some of the other awesome nails I've collected hehe...
