Coming very soon - July 1st in fact - is the opening of one of Second Life's hairiest events of the year! If you have no idea what I'm talking about you are in for a treat because very soon, Hair Fair comes to Second Life...
It's a brilliant charity event that raises hundreds of RL dollars for Wigs for Kids... I will give more details about that in a coming post but I just wanted to take five minutes to share something about the event that you may be interested to know...
There is one downside to the event being such a popular one, and that's often to do with trying on the hair... Sometimes the lag can be a bit bad, you need to bear this in mind and have plenty of time to shop... BUT to help with making things easier to try on, you might want to read this - it's information straight from the organisers, so I quote...
"Demos will be sent out in our Demo group on the 30th June (friday) you will be able to try all the Hair Fair styles before the event opens, so that you do not have to deal with lag of trying styles on at the event." If you're like me you may want to use this opportunity to try things on and make a list of what I want, or you could make a party out of it with friends and family to share and discuss what suits you.
To joint he hair fair Demo Group, copy and paste the following link - secondlife:///app/group/2e30d166-f3e5-e2de-ff72-b3da2d06ded2/about - into local chat and join the group, and voilá lag free demo trying on experience!
SATURDAY IS HAIR SHOPPING DAY!!!
There have been monsters coming out of the world of Pandora's Box for a few days, and many of them are wreaking havoc across Second Life, but not all... Some of them have been captured, held as pets at the hands of devious masters. Being stuck in this world is beginning to take it's toll on one of Pandora's Monsters, if only she can find her way back to the Box...
The poor little Mermaid - not to be confused with the Ariel of Disney tales - was found on a beach, and "rescued" by a handsome and seemingly courageous prince. Though looks can be deceiving... Far from saving her, he was pleased to have a new pet for his zoo...
Trapped in the prince's disused swimming pool, in the town of Furillen, this poor little monstrous Mermaid is showing signs of how damaging the once chlorinated water can be to her skin... She's breaking out in a rash, and her scales are beginning to show...
The scales are a Pandora's Box creation from Zombie Suicide, as are these haunting looking Jekyll & Hyde Eyes from [QE], both of which are available exclusively in this month's box...
Now because this is a Pandora's Box post... You may want a reminder about Pandora's Box... As a basic reminder, the best place to go to sign up for your box is the Pandora's Box HQ. Now that the box has been opened the cost will be 2500L, which will allow you to join the group and get your box - bear in mind though that you only have until May 30th to do so - and all those wonderful goodies will be yours. Then after the last day in May the group will be emptied and sign up begins for the following month's box - which if you join the group before the release date will be 1500L! You can get more information about this at the Pandora's Box Website!!
Someone please help to save this poor little mermaid before the box closes on June 30th... She promises not to pull you down under the water until you're death...

Taking a few minutes away from the monsters, because well that is getting just a little too scary LOL, I opened a box sent from one of the stores I blog for to find that they had made some very biker chick "Rebel" Poses for this month's BishBox, and well you know me being in an MC I couldn't resist taking the time to pose in this set!
The pose is one from Come Soon, and as I said before it's been released in this month's BishBox, The pose prop includes multiple poses and is perfect for the rebellious amongst us. While Rudh's finally stopped to smoke a cigarette - dressed in her usual flawless biker chick style - I've decided to let you know about something that may be of interest to the bikers amongst you...
You may or may not know this but Rudh is the Secretary of the Gators MC... Well, we're recruiting! I mean, looking for people that may be interested in joining an MC. It doesn't matter about if you've never ridden a motorbike in Second Life before - we can help you with that - but if you're looking for something new and fun and interesting to do, with a bunch of people that love hanging out and being silly, then maybe you should come check us out?!

The monsters have been released from this month's Pandora's Box and they are HUNGRY...
What do monsters eat I wonder? I guess it depends on the Monster... I was wandering around in the woods of Ironwood Hills and I caught one of the Monsters of Pandora's Box enjoying a little snackette... Fairies!!!!!
Her sun gold hair that's braided and wrapped around her large dark antlers - thanks to the Aysdora add-on from FABIA - and her pretty floral adornments - from LODE and Ama - give the impression that this is a sweet gentle forest spirit. Yet the way that she's biting into that Fairy, not to mention the almost snake-like eyes - which come with the Make-Up from Vengeful Threads in this month's Pandora's Box - give a totally different perception upon closer inspection.
Now because this is a Pandora's Box post... You may want a reminder about Pandora's Box... As a basic reminder, the best place to go to sign up for your box is the Pandora's Box HQ. Now that the box has been opened the cost will be 2500L, which will allow you to join the group and get your box - bear in mind though that you only have until May 30th to do so - and all those wonderful goodies will be yours.

I'm feeling in a particularly girlie mood today- I've been like that for a few days now, don't know why or what caused it but I know that I feel like being pretty and skipping around in a field of flowers - rather than embracing my usual dead girl skankish style. So before I let the monsters take over completely, it's probably a good time to let the inner girlie out...
At the beautiful location of NonStop, Rudh took a relaxing walk through the flowers that blew in the breeze. Stopping to pick a Dandelion and blow the seeds into the breeze, breathing in the fresh air for a moment as the weather has finally cooled down just enough to make life a little easier.
Her outfit is something that she's been wearing a lot in this heat, a gorgeous little Valentina Lace Jumper from Addams, that she's accessorised with a cute Choker Bell necklace from PSYCHO.Byts.
Just a few more minutes of peace and rest before I go back to reading that new Monster Book that I picked up... I hope it's not too scary!
What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - HoneyAna in Reds (Past Group Gift)
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Choker: PSYCHO.Byts - Choker Bell in Pastels
Flower: [Vaak] - Dandelion Blower
Outfit: Addams - Valentina Lace Jumper in N*36
Pose: Signature Pose - Bitch Tits
Attending glitzy parties was never really her idea of fun... Ball gowns and looking pretty can be fun but she's not very good at dancing! While looking for a bathroom, the inquisitive Rudh stumbled upon a dusty library - the library of one of the oldest houses in town is something that cannot be passed by - and so she found herself in the barely illuminated room, opening a dusty tome...
The book, it turns out, is an old Cryptozoology text called "The Monsters of Pandora's Box", inside were illustrations of some weird and wonderful creatures that had Rudh transfixed, not noticing as a small box hidden in the corner of the room... Pandora's Box of Monsters was awake!!
That's right, it's time for this month's Pandora's Box to open it's dark little lid and reveal the treasures within... I warn you things are about to get a little Monstrous - the theme of this month being Monsters...
The book that Rudh is reading is actually one of the awesome Pandora's Box goodies from Candle and Cauldron this month - along with a really gorgeous map that will make an appearance here soon I feel - I'll tell you more about the box in a few minutes but want to share with you something else in this photo that's simply stunning...
I was officially allowed to become a blogger for the store Oubliette this week - it's the darker side of Petite Mort's owner that is brought to lift within Oubliette - and as soon as I saw this dress I HAD to share it with you. It's a Lucretia Gown - one of 6 different colours, shown here in Onyx - that is available at the Midsummer Enchantment Event, and well frankly, it's hard to pick just one because the colours are all so gorgeous!
Back to the Box though... CALLING ALL THE MONSTERS...
As a basic reminder, the best place to go to sign up for your box is the Pandora's Box HQ.

I feel like doing something pretty today... Don't look so shocked, sometimes it happens. Admittedly not often but I may be sent something by a designer - and although it's not my usual style of attire - I can often say I feel inspired to try something new... Today is one of those days, and today's outfit was helped by the fact that I knew the perfect location for this pretty look...
For some reason it struck me as a little Asian inspired - I don't know why - perhaps it was the addition of a free gift that came from the designer of this outfit... I couldn't help myself, I slipped into full on Disney Princess mode LOL...
Walking around in the beautiful set at WHOLE WHEAT, twirling this parasol - which is the free gift from Petite Mort that I mentioned before - singing songs from Disney's Mulan and developing a craving for Chinese Food... Dammit, now I want something sweet and sour!
The dress - like the parasol - is a new release from Petite Mort, that can be found at the latest round of Trés Chic. Whereas the gift is available in just the one colour, this dress comes in an array of different colours and make such a lovely collection of summer dresses that it was hard to pick the colour.
I have to cut this short though, I am craving some Chinese Food... I have to go, NOW... LOL
What is she wearing;
Parasol: Petite Mort - Peacock Parasol (Gift Available until July 10th at Trés Chic)
