Happy New Year!!!

Fireworks to welcome in the New Year.... I've BANGED already obviously lol...
So much has happened in 2010 it is almost unreal... I have had a life changing move in RL, SL has been a rollercoaster of fun and a touch (though some would say more than a touch) of drama and obviously I started blogging... 
Yet I just wanted to extend a big smushy hug type THANK YOU to those that have been there to share in my Rollercoaster ride, whether it has been your first or one of many, I couldn't have done it without you!!! 
I hope that 2011 turns out to be a rocking, explosive, colourful, exciting year for everyone, and that you are happy, healthy and above all successful in anything that you reach for this coming year... 2010 See ya later Alligator, lets welcome in the 2011 crocodile for a while!

SECRET SANTA CAME AND WENT!

Well Christmas is over now *sad face* and I have returned home away from the manicness that is my RL family life... But I do have some interesting information to share... Secret Santa Secrets... 
HellBone and I got very lucky with our giftees and Santas, I would like to extend a Thank You to them all for providing us with not only some lovely gifts but also the chance to find presents for someone we had never met, it proved most entertaining... 

Hell was giftee for Starla Niven, someone he has actually found a new friend in... Whereas my giftee turned out to be the person who had told me about SL Secret Santa in the first place, my friend Lynaja... Only problem in my mind was what do you buy someone who has EVERYTHING - as the owner of CONCRETE FLOWERS Lynnie tends to make everything in all shapes and colours...

My Santa was really good to me though, Eden Knoller was my santa, she went to D-Lab and bought me a few things, ignoring the one gift rule... She bought me a goat!!! 
Santa brought me a Goat and the thing ate my roses... Hope it don't get tummy ache!

A week early but... OH WELL

I know that I am a week early with my gift giving, however, HOPEFULLY if the RL snow holds up, I will be heading home to be with my RL family and am not totally sure if I would be able to get a chance to write this from there... 
I spent a while building a small giftie, a token of my affection... OR as someone might look at it a "what the heck is this crap?"... 

Rudh and the Giftie

The Merry Christmas Deer
I hope that you like him... If you havent been given one and you are someone special to me don't be shy, tell me... I was being a bit hyper when I was sending them...

52 Weeks of Colour - WEEK 7!

Well onto a new week of colour challenge... I relish this time of the week as I love the chance to be able to dig through the things that I have not seen for a while, or shop for something new on the grounds that "Oh dear I don't have anything in that colour"... Not that anyone needs an excuse to buy more pretties! 
This week I will admit was one I wasn't so eager to come up with... I mean Purple, Yellow and Pink are SO not my favourite colours... But as it is a challenge there are bound to be hard colours... So here it is... 
Week 7... 
CERISE
Week 7: Shhhh but I actually quite like this outfit!
Never did I think I would like Cerise... BUT... What am I wearing;
Hair: Ploom - Boho
Necklace: Perturb/ation - RosetteNebula
Bracelets: Sinistyle - Strap Bracelets
Outfit: PatchworkHeart - Tempting Tarten
Boots: Lost Eden - Tall Boots

I like this colour on me... Don't expect it to become regular though - yet thanks Luna... wouldn't have found this cute outfit without you challenging me to wear Cerise lol... 

Next Week - GREEN... Not normally one I'd enjoy but hey this one is Christmassy!!!

Rez Arcs

Wow I seem to be blogging a lot at the moment, not that any of it means anything but I think the blogging bug has hit me kinda hard... I love doing it - lol! 
Today's post... REZ ARCS... I will admit that I have always been an avid profile perv, yet fairly recently I have begun perving at people's rez arcs... 
Due to all the treasure hunting and fun events that have been catching my attention this month, having a low rez arc has been a high priority for me... Dont get me wrong I love to try and make my barbie look purdy but at the same time I wanna reduce my arc by doing things like wearing less prims and having little if anything scripted on... 
BUT, OMG yesterday I was cruising around on one of the many treasure hunts I was doing and I spotted a woman with a HUGE REZ ARC... 
What is making her rez arc so high?
Her dress has fluff on it, something you expect with a red dress at Christmas, and she has a mass of hair on her head but I still cant think how her rez arc can be nearly 26,500... The mind boggles... To date, this person has had the highest I have ever seen... Anyone seen higher?

SL Secret Santa!

Last day was today to get your name on the list for the SL Secret Santa... I hadn't heard about the event until I was chatting with Lynaja... To make things easier a notecard containing all the details was passed over and I thought "Hey this sounds like fun!" There was nothing to lose so I decided that I would join in the festive spirit of things, plus you never know it could gain me a new friend or two in the process... 

The notecard was simple, well planned and interesting, though I would have to say I sympathise with the creator of this event having to try and pair people up... If not done right that could be a COMPLETE NIGHTMARE for her... Yet the guidelines were as follows; 
✫ You should only purchase ONE gift for your recipient.
✫ You can spend UP TO as much as 250L.
✫ You can NOT REVEAL TO ANYONE WHO YOU ARE SECRET SANTA OF! NOT EVEN FRIENDS! It will ruin the fun!
✫ You can make your gift if you so chose.
✫ Please use the information you are given about your recipient.
✫ Follow the timeline of the event, we do not want anyone to be left out.
All I had to do was fill out a form that looked easy... BOY WAS I WRONG... First a Bio of Rudh ok well that was alright... then you had to pick FIVE top stores in SL... HOW THE HECK CAN ANYONE DO THAT?? It was a nightmare, I was staring at my landmarks thinking OMFG lol... In the end a random selection was made, omitting places like hair and skin stores as demos MUST be tried in those cases, and I sent my details back to the creator... 

Now comes the hard part, the waiting to know just who I'm buying for... and the waiting to see who is buying for me! *crosses her fingers...* This post WILL have a follow up when I can share the secrets but for now, more details are CLASSIFIED lol.

Look Who I Found!

Photo taken by me and prettied up by HellBone!
The lovely Titiania Scarfiotti, possibly one of SL's oldest Noobs, is back and this time she seems more interested in hanging around... 
Tit is special to me, more so in RL, as she is my younger RL sister... She followed me into SL all of nearly four years ago now and has become a bit of a dabbler in the SL realm, coming in only once or twice in a blue moon (since she had her SL account I think she has been in maybe 10 times? Something like that)
I am still having to teach her the ropes, show her around and get her inventory away from being a noob freebie dumping pit - being a serial organiser of my personal inventory, I find it helps immensly and now she is learning the hard way how important having an organised inventory is (I have Fledge to thank for helping me get this idea into my thick head - THANK YOU FLEDGE!! lol) 
WELCOME BACK TIT!!!!

So worth going to have a look at her store... everything is cheap, and there are colours to suitmost skin tones... She even does some skins with cuts and bruises for those of you with a clumsy side like me!!!

52 Weeks of Colour - WEEK 6!

Tis time my friends to show off my attempt at this weeks colour challenge... I have to admit that when I saw the colour I was more than a little dismayed... alongside purple and pink, yellow is a colour that has very little, if any place in my SL closet! Fledge on the other hand may well have found this colour marginally easier as she is the Gold Dragon (a high number of items in her inventory are in the yellow colour spectrum!) 
So Ladies and Gentlemen... Here it is... 
Week 6...
YELLOW
Week 6: Wearing a hat to protect me from the non-existant winter sunshine!
What did I put on my barbie this week; 
Hair: Magika - Angela
Necklace: [Pink Fuel] - Bottle Charm Necklace
Outfit: The Plastik - Summer Doesn't End Dress (in Sun)

But my first thoughts when I saw the yellow colour come up was SIMPSON... So as promised... 
The 'IM GONNA BE FIRST TO THE SOFA BITCHES" Look (Photoshopped by HellBone Barbosa)

The skin I am wearing is really yellow but for some reason it looks fairly green... I blame it on the carpet! Also, as a side note, as my fandiddlytastic big brother 'so wisely pointed out; 
Zakora Trevellion: lmao, thats brilliant... wheres Hellmer?

Next week - CERISE... Another colour I am TOTALLY dreading...

The Ground of the Bone Crusher Expands!

We within the Grounds of the BoneCrusher (home to HellBone and I along with various family members) have now got a new neighbour... REMUS AND IMMA HAVE MOVED IN NEXT DOOR! The Loups de la Lune has taken up residence on the plot next to ours causing a strange mingling of BoneCrusher grounds with grounds of the Werewolf! 
We're taking over the sim one plot at a time - mwhahahaha! It is great to see Remus back gardening, alongside HellBone's green fingers we should soon have a very beautiful, very calming and very enchanting garden to share with friends and family alike... 
Before when it was just Hell and I renting some space!
After now that the Werewolf and the Witch moved in next door!
See how much we take over LOL!!! I live with two expert gardeners now, however they will not be able to thwart my evil plan... I was exploring D-Labs new look mainstore yesterday and I found the most AWESOME fountain ever... I think it should get pride of place in the garden... What do you think? 
WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD REMUS AND IMMS!!!!

Snowflake Experience - Worth a Visit!

December would appear to be a busy time for a lot of people within the SL community... Designers are beavering away trying to outdo themselves in the run up to the festive season and everyday it would seem that another Christmas themed event or treasure hunt is starting... I don't mind I love treasure hunts and these fun special events... 

December 4th, marked the opening of one such event... The Snowflake Experience... This is a charity driven event, that is hoping to raise money for "Toys for Tots" and it has set high targets of 5,000 US$ that it aims to reach... Sometimes I am a bit of a sceptic regarding events that claim to be for charity, large events like this one are fairly reliable but you would have to try hard to get me to trust a club event or such like... Yet each designer present, and there are around 60 of them, has items with a percentage of the sale going to charity, as well as a fun freebie hunt (all you gotta do is find the fairly obvious and fairly numerous candy canes)... 

With purchases in hand, a cute plushie reindeer and a cute 'Snow Princess Outfit' complete with a fur snuggie from Sassy Kitty... I spent some time admiring the setting of the event, which is split into four islands each with a different theme... I was loving the Candy themed island and the Toy themed island... 
Candy Land!
Toy Paradise!
It made me feel REALLY Christmassy and I found myself singing the timeless, but some might say terrible, Christmas classics...
Yet it is non-stop for me... Anyone who knows me well will tell you that I am a treasure hunter at heart (lol) but this month, let me see... There's the Zombie Popcorn Hunt, the Lost Souls Hunt, the Happy Holidays Hunt, A Very Depraved Christmas Hunt, The Christmas Hunt AND two more events like the Snowflake Experience, the FTLO Ice Festival and ODB's Holiday Fair... Looks like I am gonna be busy... 
Roll on Christmas for a rest hehe!

HellBone Barbosa - What to say about you

It is about time that I posted about HellBone... The reason that I have waited until now is that today, December 4th 2010, HellBone and I have been a couple for a whole year!   
Happy Anniversary Sweetie... 
HellBone and I
What a year it has been... It started when I met you while working at the Colosseum of Rock, you were a DJ that I persuaded to sing on voice for everyone in the club! LOL - oh how I wish that you didn't sing! Yet it was as friends that we grew closer and forever after you have remained one of my best friends in the world... 
You listen when I need to rant, you fool about when I need to laugh and you never stop surprising me... You've stood with me through some major ups and downs, but through it all we have come out stronger, closer and on top of it all... 
Oh DramaLlamas along the way... I mean I shall never forget the time a certain ex of yours wanted child support for her two prim blobs (SL Babies - dont get me started on those and the talking tummies they make me LOL! No offence to anyone with one - some of my close friends are SL mummies and daddies!)
You are the first to ever be allowed into my SL Partner Box (sounds rude when you read it hehe) and with damn good reason I think... I couldn't imagine a day without you!

The way you looked back in the day, rocking out at the Colosseum of Rock club!
Lol I am sorry to put this here but I had to... It's just one of the things I love most about you, you aren't afraid to look like a total muppet!
I even braved the house of Clowns for you... Anyone who knows me will know that I'm not fond of clowns (apparently clowns kill!)  
As Fledge said last night, and I do believe she summed it up fairly well, I am done squeezing fruit on supermarket shelves (or in other words, done dating the meh men)... I have found my 'beef tomato', my huge and squishy (not dribbly when bitten) Teddy Bear! It took me a while, but I won't be trading you in any time soon Mr Barbosa!
Ik hou van jou, I love you!


52 Weeks of Colour - WEEK 5!

On the ball eh? I know it is flippin early, but it seems that for the last two weeks any how I have been forced to get out of my nice warm bed early! Yet for some reason I don't mind that at all...
As I am up I might as well show off my attempt at week 5's colour SEPIA... This was a fairly easy colour for me, for some reason I have quite a lot of brown! But I love creating my picture early so that gives me plenty of time to find the colour for the next week!!!
So, drum roll please, here it is...
Week 5...
SEPIA
Week 5 - Look I can fit in a picture frame!
 
LOL by the way I have no idea why I am always posing in our attic... Maybe one day I will surprise people with a different location?
What did I happen to put on this week;
Hair: Magika - Word
Outfit: Trousers: {Paperdoll} - Emily
Boots, Top and Collar: Twisted and Spoiled - Big Bad Wolf(part of set)

As a bonus though, I have another picture to share... Miss Vix Miggins, of Pixel2Life Studios, had some spare time on her hands and wanted to photograph me... I think she did a better job of it lol... 
Created by Vix Miggins of Pixel2Life Studios fro Rudhmellowen's 52 Weeks Challenge SEPIA
 Next Week - YELLOW (I'm thinking maybe Simpson?)

Whatever Next?

On Monday SL was in the habit all day of forgetting who I am... Today I tried on a new tattoo layer and this happened... 
Disintegrating into NOTHINGNESS!!!

Whatever is gonna happen next? Will it be turning Rudh into Jello, like the GooGirls made by Pama? Will it be transforming me into some strange avatar shape, like the ones seen on Fledge or HellBone? WHO KNOWS... All I can say is that it had better stop happening as tomorrow is colour change over day, and not one but TWO important things are happening... Will leave it there and fill you in tomorrow! LOL can't wait can ya?
