The Stance of a Gladiator

The heat is on and I'm going into battle to fight the monsters that are too hot, too sweaty and too drowsy... There are so many things wrong with being in temperatures this hot, especially since the home I have has no way of cooling off, and all of the heat is trapped inside... 
I'm going to fight... Im going to dive in and handle the heat in the same fighting spirit as the Roman Gladiators... 

I never really found the interest in Roman Archaeology when I was studying Archaeology at university and in fact any time since. My reason is that we know SO MUCH about them, they left written accounts of their daily life so there is little room for speculation, unlike the Dark Ages... 
The Gladiators knew how to fight though, many were not military trained, and perhaps that was the key to their popularity. They were able to fight in ways that most people couldn't... They were made to kick ass, and the best were like the footballers of today...

Time for a Sunday Sundae!

It's Sunday, a very lazy Sunday because it's a very HOT Sunday... I've seen people laughing about how people in England complain about the heat, well I'd like to point out that since our homes don't tend to be built to let warmth out but keep it in instead. I admit I HATE hot weather and am looking forward to when it starts to cool down again, but until then and since it's lazy hot Sunday, I think it's time we tried to cool off with a Sundae?!!

I have to be quick with this post since I dont want most of the Ice Cream to melt, the only melted Ice Cream should be that which is used in the making of some fancy Retro Milkshakes - like the ones in the set with the machine from BROKEN ARROWS - whilst the rest of the Ice Cream is used to make some Classic Banana Splits - like the one from Hangry. We have So many delicious toppings, with fruit and chocolate, syrup and whipped cream... 
Seems like our puppy friend couldn't wait though LOL...

A Different Tale

It's a tale as old as time, but recently I have been loving reading the Smut that is actually based on the fairytales that I grew up loving and still love but now perhaps with a twist of something dark and kinky... 
I am just about to start reading one about Goldilocks, but I've loved them about Peter Pan, the Little Mermaid, Aladdin and others, but this will be the first about Goldilocks and her three bears... Another theme that I love happens to be Beauty and the Beast based stories... A twist on the tale as old as time... 

I love the stories with a twist... The darker the twist, the better I feel and I LOVE it when the female main character is the villain... Maybe I should start writing my own so that I can apply my desires to one tale... LOL or maybe I should just stick to reading them... 
This tale as old as time has a big twist... Our beast becomes human but not before the tale is flipped, with his belle of the ball becoming a scarred beast of the tale. Bitten and clawed by the beast to marr her beauty and let the magic of the rose be her curse... He is her obsession, she see that in his hand held mirror - from Krescendo - while the magic sparkles between her and the rose...

The Adventures of a Sky Pirate

For the last few days, the hubby and I have been re-watching the Pirates of the Caribbean. It's a bloody good series, with lots of moments of humour, romance and general silliness that I'd kind of forgotten about. Since there are 5 now things seem to blur into each other and I will admit I was wondering where each of the movies fitted together... What can I say? I LOVE them, I love Jack Sparrow and will say he's got to be one of my favourite movie characters of all time... I guess that it has influenced me... 

I think the Caribbean would be way too hot for me but I could be the kind of pirate in some fantasy steam-punkish novel... One in search of treasure or adventure or something that could be entertaining to pass the time... I'd have to be a bit of a fancy dressed up pirate, modern yet stylish and armed with some pretty weapons...

Laundry Days Can Be Good Days!

Today is the last day that I will be home as the hubby's nurse, even though he is not healed and is still in a lot of pain I have only been able to have a week off to look after him and therefore... It's time to get ready for work again... I have a few things to get done around the house, but the one job that seems to be never ending is laundry... I have a mountain of laundry but it's one of those things you need a washing machine for, and since my washing machine had other ideas... 

The ball bearings are loose in my washing machine, luckily last month I had my holiday money and that means I have a little flexibility and only need to wait now for the delivery of my new washing machine. 
Until then I'm spending my evening in the local laundrette... There's no one here, it's too warm and most people around here have laundry facilities at home, so I'm here alone... I'm bored, and I think I'm going to be a little rebel and see just how good the vibrations of a drier can feel... 
The aftermath of the feeling is that it's the perfect time to ignore the signs and have a cheeky cigarette, I just hope it was as good for the machine as it was for me...

A Drink in the Moonlight

It is insanely hot here in the Netherlands and our homes are DEFINITELY meant to hold the heat rather than release it... It's one of the reasons that Summer and I do not get on LOL... This timeof year I find myself wishing I could be more of a night owl or perhaps a Vampire... I've been around the hospital too much lol wanting to be in the night and suddenly reminded of the smell of blood... 

I know that Vampires are often portrayed as the monsters, but in this day and age that should be altered in my mind. People are just as bad if not worse, and they come with a lot less grace... I love things that are Vamp based, Twilight aside because that was just silly nonsense I mean he sparkled and they gave birth to a demon-like baby... I'm still mourning the finale of What we do in the shadows, and love the glamour that often comes with a lady of the dark... 
I think now days we have enough blood banks, we should learn to share what extra we have with the Vamps and then leave them to dance through the shadows and the moonlight...

Protecting the Magic Eggs

Everything needs a little magic to make it seem like a better feeling... When days are as hot as this it feels like the sun has started blowing more heat our way like a dragon that's pissed off protecting his treasure from those that would try to steal it... The female dragons are too busy protecting their scared sanctums that guard their eggs... 

The Dragons eggs are collected by the Celtic Druidesses, and they are floated within the Wishing Fountain - backdrop by K&S - of the inner sanctum... It is a place of magic, protection, and safety... The ladies protect the eggs in the fountain while th dragonesses protect the celtic magic...

I ain't afraid of no Ghosts...

So yesterday I was thinking a lot about Wonderland, I cannot tell you really what sparked that thought pattern but last night to distract the hubby we watched Pirates of the Caribbean and tonight it's movie night again... I'm not that much of movie buff - Lord of the Rings excluded, I could talk about that all day - but there are times when the right movie can be a good thing... They set the mood, they like my blog can take me away to another place and they bring stories to life that many may never think of... 
Now I'm going to show my age here, I'm a child of the 80s and proud of it, but do you remember when 3D movies first became a thing?! It was an insane experience... 

The first time I saw a 3D movie it was a shock... I think the first time I saw a 3D movie was the Muppets 3d in Disneyland, and I can honestly say as much as the film was fun it set my motion sickness off something terrible and I was more than a little put off from seeing things in 3D again... 
It was crazy to me how a movie brought someone's imagination to life in moving pictures but also that those moving pictures could leave a screen and be right up in your face like they could touch you... It was a bizarre feeling, one that still makes me surprised to this day... Even though now days it's less abnormal andif you try and tell youngans about it they look at you iek you have two heads, with stories of different coloured glasses!!! 
Anyway it's movie time... HellBone plans to scare me a little with a few Ghostbusters...

Do you play Croquet?

Things are crazy in my household at the moment. My pain in the butt, whom I love muchly, hubby was operated on yesterday and though he's home he is in a lot of pain. I've been allowed to take a few days off so that I can look after him which so far has been fairly OK... He is a little high on the good kind of drugs, but it's me that seems to be stuck in my own tiring little Wonderland, I'm running around all over the place doing things for him... I finally managed to get a little time to rest and so I ended up finding a Wonderland that was a little less stressful... 

What to do while I'm here to relax? Anyone fancy a game of croquet? I always used to love the idea of the flamingo croquet that Alice played with the Queen of Hearts in the Disney version... I wanted to play with the croquet mallets so badly because they looked like heaps of fun... So in the gardens of Wonderland I'm going to ask, DO YOU PLAY CROQUET?!

A lot more Pride, a lot less Prejudice!

Love is love and that's all that matters, or at least it should be... With everything going on in the world right now, from wars that are on going or scarily close to starting, and wannabe kings holding parades that resemble celebrations held for monarchs of distant lands, and even closer to home with people striking for more money and causing masses of chaos for everyone else... It feels so much more important to celebrate love for those who have always faced stigmatism, because we should all be allowed to love, and it might make the world a better place... 

Pride in Amsterdam comes a little later in the year but right now other places are celebrating Pride... I'm always willing to celebrate love, and I KNOW that it's easier said than some people agree to but I want to send huge hugs to everyone... I guess these days I'd consider myself an Ally more than any other letter in the LGBTQ+ range, testing the water at university and my early 20s doesn't really count but I do firmly believe that love is love. It shouldn't be up to any one person to say who another can or cannot love - unless there is a lack of consent or confusion from an involved party and illegal things are happening of course... Like the sign says, I can't believe we're still protesting this shit... It's 2025, let people be who they want, let people live as they want... 
Pride at Home is happening, as are many other Pride events, right now and I want to take a moment to reach out. The world needs more Pride, less Prejudice, I mean isn't there enough crazy shit going on in the world that people also want to control who others love too?!

An Egyptian Goddess, Wadjet!

I woke up this morning feeling too hot and bothered, it was too early to get out of bed but I couldn't bare the thought of just laying there and stewing in my own headachy blahness... It lead to me being weirdly creative... 
It lead to my mind disappearing to a faraway land and a time long ago, and where the magic of the old gods could be felt within the desert sands walls... To a Bright and Magical Luxor Night... 

We know so much of the magic that went along with the stories of the Egyptian Gods but there are some that are more famous than others. Whilst on our trip together today, we have come across the beautiful goddess Wadjet - although this is more like my Monster High kinda version probably - who was revered as a protector of kings of the ower kingdom... She and her cobra head were seen as a symbol of protection and sovereignty, apparently...
Our Monster High styled version of Wadjet, seems a little more disgruntled at yet more statues of the senior gods, where the heck was the new one she'd been promised... She's a Naga Vaelric - a release from BeSpoke that can still be grabbed today at the Vintage Fair but it closes on the 16th so maybe you'll have to head to the mainstore - and she deserves to have EgyptianTales told...

A Day on the Beach!

The Summer has officially seemed to arrive in the Netherlands over the past few days... I'm not a fan of the Summer, especially here... When you're on holiday and it's a warm, dry heat then it feels wonderful on your skin, but here in the Netherlands it's HUMID and becomes like a sweat box the moment you walk out the door... I hate it when it seems to get trapped inside the house... I NEED to get out and find somewhere to breathe... 

I love being out in Nature, I LOVE the cooling breeze and the feeling of natural sunlight, although like a vampire I tend to keep to the shadows the vast majority of the time... I wouldn't mind being on the beach right now though. I would love to spend the day darting in and out of the waves, playing with a bucket and spade o build sandcastles or use them for holding onto other things - like the one Rudh has full of drinks like the Beach Drinker bucket, available now from Dots at Kustom9, or the Castle Toy Bucket, from Krescendo currently available at the Amsterdam Event - while I hide in the shade...

The Future Of Self-Preservation!

Do you ever stop and think about the future? I am not the kinda girl that enjoys any form of Science Fiction, be that in movies or books, but the hubby really loves Star Wars... I think back to pictures of history that we've seen where they say in 2025 we'd be driving flying cars, and Back to the Future had so many gadgets that would be handy but are non-existant... I wonder will humans look different, they already warn about changes caused by technological influences like smart phones... But wouldn't it be better to be something more interesting... 

I'd like to think that we mutate into something a little cooler... Adding some Cyborg parts to make sure the human body runs smoothly, but like I've said they talk about Smart Phone hands and App watching neck with a hump since we spend so long looking down at phones and tablets, but I was hopeing maybe for more eyes or something so that I can see better and don't have to wear glasses any more. I know I could wear contacts but I cannot stick my fingers in my eyes... 
As for protection though, I'd stick with the old school methods... Like they say, if it aint broke, don't fix it...

Calm in the Battleground Camp

I've been on cloud nine today, HellBone decided to cave in and bought himself and I new computers. It was something we needed to purchase so that we could keep up with the Second Life changes...It's like logging in on a machine that took me into another universe altogether... 
The warzone in my mind between the amount of money that it cost, became a losing battle to the way that the upgrade DEFINITELY seemed so needed... 

The ghosts and zombies of my old PC set-up stil linger in the back of my mind as I spend my time learning how to use the super fast monster machine that I have now... I'm just dealing with making it pretty, letting the hubby install all the right things and hoping that it will last me a LONG time now... I'm learning to use my new friend in the midst of the battle of my old one being sent to PC part heaven... I mean it's not hard, I'm mostly sitting back, to let the aftermath go on around me...

Do you like Scary Movies?

On days off I tend to love reading and taking pretty pictures in SL, I'm sure you've guessed all that by now, but my hubby is definitely MUCH more of a movie freak... I am not particularly a movie watcher. I have my firm favourites, I will get lost in my mind any time I watch the LOTR and Princess Diaries is my go-to make me feel better kind of movie... HellBone loves all different kinds of movies, Horror being his go-to... 

Watching movies these days is NOTHING like it used to be when I was in my teens or even early 20s. When I was a kid or even a teen, I remember nights when Mum and Dad said we could rent a video to watch from the local video shop. We didn't have a Blockbuster, but there was a local family owned video shop - a bit like the backdrop from blaink - but by the time DVDs were becoming a thing, the shop was beginning to close it's doors... 
I am NOT  a scary movie fan though, HellBone loves them and likes to terrorise me, making me watch them sometimes... Last time I jumped so much during a scary scene that I spilled my drink and dropped my dinner... Rudh got so scared in the video store today that she threw one of the slices of pizza that she'd stolen from the clerk on the desk...

A Different Kind Of Magic!

Once again I've had a long day of chaos with my daily job and the fact that Holland has no trains running meaning the busses were full and people were having issues... I'm home from work now and needing a little magic to make things feel better...

Magic can be found in many places, and caused by many things... There are many things that people would consider magic and if you asked a collection of people, they may all surprise you by saying things that are different... 
One thing that seems like magic at the moment is that Hair Fair 2025 is now happening, and runs until June 15th... This charity event has changed a lot over the years but the magical part is that every year thousands of dollars are raised to assist in the creation of Wigs for Kids that are very much in need... The smiles on their faces is a little magic the world could use right now... 
The little fae was super excited in the gardens today as her and her Hair Brownie - which is a creation from Tardfish, available at the Hair Fair - were playing in the flowers and she found herself a new wand of the magic kind... It won't do much to tame her wild "Svetik Hair" - from monso, also at the Hair Fair - but the cutie Curling Iron is definitely magic!!!

Death's Guiding Light

I am currently reading a book that seems to be affecting my moods, and although I'm loving it, Sinner's Sideshow is definitely a place for the dark, kinky and demonic... It's definitely my happy place at the moment, and you may well have realised by now that the darker and more fantasy based I get, the happier I tend to be, so my book is kinda sorta almost reflected in my blog today... I mean Death is a character, NOTHING like I've made death look but ya know... he was on my mind lol... 

My interpretation of Death is one totally removed from the Four Horsemen of the book I'm reading - which by the way is a smut filled story called Carnival Creeps by Aiden Pierce, and is very good but I really suggest you read the Circus Creeps before you try this one or you will get very lost - as in this story he is a big chiselled and muscular warrior ManDragon, but one that is having a relationship with Famine... Whilst my version of Death is much more feminine, magical and lead by thie light that guides her... 
She is bound and chained as she stalks through the darkness, searching for lost souls that are drawn to her like a Moth and Flame - the candle she is carrying is a Moth and Flame from Boutique #187, available until June 11th at SABBATH by the way - so she can reap their souls with her magical Reaper Scythe...

A Campfire Dinner

It's been a lovely weekend off for me,my weekend tends to be Sunday and Monday as I work on Saturdays. Gone are the times when Saturday and Sunday were considered a weekend for people. Monday to Friday work weeks still exist, but I haven't had a Saturday Sunday weekend in a long while... 
So while it's been my weekend, I've had a lovely few days to do things I enjoy. I went to second hand stores and found tons of wool for my blankets, and made some delicious food for dinners - as well as treating myself to a cheeky KFC Kip-Salon that is only available for the Summer, I know I'm naughty - but I didn't get what I really wanted... 

Now that the sun is making itself more known than it has so far, and it's officially the start of Summer and therefore BBQ Season... I'm craving BBQ so much because realy there is nothing like chargrilled meat and warm salad lol... 
Though I have been watching videos on Youtube of people cooking things on the grill... There have been people cooking Steaks and Chicken in campfires which seemed to coincide with a delicious set of Campfire meals of the Junk Food variety... Campfire Steak for Hell and Campfire Chicken for me, and perhaps he'd let me have a little taste so long as I'm a good girl that eats my veggies... I'll even serve it up with some fresh Pink Lemonade... 
Now I have to go find a snack LOL...

Sitting on the Dock

Unbelivelable I know but today is JUNE 1st... What the heck, where the heck did that come from? Where has the first half of the year gone. We are almost done with half a year... 2025 is FLYING... 
June has always marked the start of the Summer for me too... I'm not a fan of summer since it tends to get way too hot, but we'll do the best we can and get through this...

I'm going to spend lots of summery time in the sunshine, somewhere near water where it's a little cooler. I have never been a fan of when it gets too hot, I don't like it at all... I'm planning on spending being in my bathing suit - like the Rissa Swimsuit from Adora-tions - and cooling off today. It'day one of the summer and already far too bloody hot lol...

Dancing for Chicken

You might have gathered by now that I list reading as one of my hobbies but do you know what it is that I love to read most? I am a Smut reader mostly. I LOVE anything dark and twisted and kinky. There are genres within the genre, and some I LOVE more than others. I don't so much like the sports romances but I love the stalker types. I don't really have a preference though and will read ANYTHING... Though give me a masked man that's a bit stalkerish and possessive and I'm extremely happy...

I guess my choice in reading lead my mind today when it comes to setting up a blog post... I think my brain went in the direction it did as soon as I saw these dollar bill Kalika Shoes - from Garmonbozia, available until June 22nd at Kinky - I was whisked away into one of my books... 
Three boys in the cockface gang - thanks to the masks from katat0nik - had me dancing as their personal pet for tips and fried chicken, with the chance to win toys that could Fil-a-Chick Bucket - from Krescendo, available for a few more days at the Amsterdam Event - and make a girl like me happy...

Dance Among The Stars

I need a little magic, I need a little rest and a lot of time to sleep... I need to find that magic to help myself rest up... I'm going to close my eyes and let my imagination soar, I want to be somewhere where the magic fizzes and sparkles and lights up the darkness... 

When I am at my lowest I tend to find the most sparkly of fae folk to bring me out of my slump and make things seem more effervescent... 
That is exactly what happened when I closed my eyes today and started to let my mind drift off to another world. I ended up drifting up and away, I ended up ascending to a demonic realm but one where I could dance among the stars and sparkle through the clouds... I love dancing and drifting off to a new place in my head...

Let the Music Take You...

I've had a long day at work but fancied spending a little time on my own to write something and let off some steam... 
I got soaked on my way home today, so now I'm sat curled under a blanket, listening to some soft music that will make me happier and find myself singing along...

When you hear that favourite song, it alters the mood and no matter how you are feeling it can be hard not to sing along... The first few notes just hit right... 
For me there are lots of songs that remain my favourites but no matter my mood if I hear "Wash it all away" by Five Finger Death Punch, or Take That's "Make this life yours" - in fact ANYTHING by Take That really - I will be much happier when the song is done... It always makes me laugh when I tell people my two favourites are Take That and Five Finger Death Punch...
Put on your favourite song, close your eyes and let the music carry you away to a better place...

The Teddy Bear's Picnic!

I know sometimes the blogposts that I come up with are random. I love that I don't stick to particular style of picture taking and I find that it lets me relax - as I've said before it's my own personal form of therapy - I never know what will happen when it comes to making pictures and it lets my creativity flow. I can start with one simple item and from that a story develops... Today was one of those days... 
Today I found myself disappearing down a rabbit hole, and into nursery rhyme land... 

If you go down in the woods today, You're sure of a big surprise.

If you go down in the woods today, You'd better go in disguise.

For every bear that ever there was, Will gather there for certain because

Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

I used to love this nursery rhyme... I mean who am I kidding, I still do... I remember as a little kid being in the woods near my home, teddy in hand, as we hunted for the location of the Teddy Bear's Picnic... Apparently it wasn't initially meant to be a song like it is now, the melody was written in 1907 and the lyrics were added later in 1932 - I wonder what the composer thought of the adorable little nursery rhyme his melody became?! 
So today, in my tired and wanting to go back to the UK for a bit brain, I decided to let my mind wander off to the Teddy Bear's Picnic... I packed up a picnic, that wasn't entirely Junk Food, and slipped into a disguise as suggested in the song. I found the most amazing Ursa Bear mask - a head from BeSpoke that can still be picked up at Abnormality until May 28th - so that I could be in disguise...

Forever Blowing Bubbles

I am chasing a sugar high, I've had a day off today and I'm feeling so sleepy that I think I've been just walking around only half awake... HellBone took me out in RL and we did a little bit of fun stuff, but I didn't find what I wanted and needed so it felt somewhat disappointing too... I need something sweet as a treat... 

I LOVE Candy... I love chocolate, but if I had to pick I would ALWAYS go for something gummy, not the marijuanna laced gummies, but just the chewy, often fruity and sweet kind. I like them sour and with the foamy bits too... These are my happy candies... 
When I was a teenager though I always had gum, bubble or regular, but I ALWAYS had some... I loved Hubba Bubba - or in the Second Life case the Slubblicious Gum from Junk Food, which comes in 6 different delicious flavours - it makes me feel all candilicious again... Like some bubble-pop sunshine pastel rainbow cutie!

A "Hotel" Stay!

I know I've been complaining about work a lot lately, but I'm going to do it again because well... I can... If yout don't like it just take a look at my pretty picture today and I'll see you later... Otherwise I've been driven crazy enough by the visitors to my place of work that I'm done with daily life and have finally found the perfect place for a rest... 

I'm tired, mentally and physically - so much so that I can't even think straight enough to write and words like physically are a problem - but there won't be much of a respite. I get Sunday and Monday off but I NEED MORE TIME TO REST!!! I'm checking myself into an old boutique "hotel" I've discovered, it's called the "Asylum for Criminally Insane Women"... I don't think I've done anything criminal, but perhaps if you could see the things I think about certain customers, maybe you'd disagree... Plus I've heard they have excellent padding to keep rooms nice and cosy, and damped the sound of aggrivated screams...

Have A Nice Day...

Finally I've had a day off, and it seems like it was a blink and I missed it situation. There was drama that my hubby has now taken over sorting out, and all I seemed to do was laundry. I didn't even get a chance to finish my book like I had planned to... I just need more of a break... I need more time to relax... I need a break! 

I LOVE my job, sometimes we get to meet the nicest people and have fun doing so. The company I work for is brilliant and we're all treated like a member of the family in a family business... Then there are the customers that make me really question people and their way of living... Sometimes I wonder if Corona actually happened, or did I imagine it considering the way that people eat the samples I've set out. There is definitely a lack of manners and respect in some people, that's not restricted to age, sex, race or culture. There are horrible people from everywhere you can imagine... 
The worst part of all of this, is I have to be polite and welcoming and wish them a pleasant day rather than being able to wish them the kind of day they deserve... Since I've been such a good girl, not thinking of ways to murder everyone I think I deserve a bit of a break...
