When he comes home early...

I've been reading a lot in the last year, and it's something that I plan on continuting as it gives my mind a chance to stop thinking about the real things it has to focus on and starts letting my mind wander to places that are not mine to actually live in... 
I've always loved to read but my tastes in reading material have DEFINITELY changed as I've matured. Though I guess a lot about me has definitely changed since I was a teenager...

When I was a teenager I LOVED a fantasy, perhaps with a little romantic twist and although I was NEVER a Twilight or Harry Potter fan, I loved Lord of the Rings and was obsessed with the Twisted Disney series. I've also had a penchant for historical romances and even read  Stephen King or two in the past... BUT NOW... I'm the kind of girl that likes Smut... The darker the better. Give me a dark twisted stalker, maybe one in a mask, and with a penchant for touch-her-and-die vibes, if he's older that's better lol... I'm a girl with a dark stalker, mask wearing, Daddy kink apparently lol... 
I've just finished reading about  guy that has some fun with his babysitter... It's basically porn but without the moving pictures... So today I felt like adding a bit of a tease of a picture... The babysitter sitting around at the home of the kids she's sitting, surrounded by the clutter of the kids she's watching... Pulling her own little pink heart toy - a Love Dildo from Krescendo - out of her bag, as the naughty book she was reading started to get good. She didn't hear the door slowly open, she didn't see the father of the children standing there watching her until it was too hard to hide what she was upto or what he was hiding in his pants...

A Moment to Pause...

Today I wasn't working, technically you could say that it's the start of my weekend, and basically I found myself buried to my neck in a blogging slump. I KNOW that I have targets I need to work on and things I KNOW I want to do but for some reason, when it came to starting my blogging plans today I was stuck... 

Am I the only one that ever gets in a rut? I see so many people posting gorgeous things almost every day, but I find myself wondering, don't you ever get confused about what you wanna do with or without the things that you're given?! It was just brewing in my mind that I COULDN'T think what I wanted to do, but after all the decorating and the planning and the work, my mind was spinning, and it wasn't until a very wise friend told me to take a day to relax and let my mind rest, make a cuppa tea and read my book that things started to fall into place... I did exactly that,I found a cosy armchair by a fire in the Frostel Penthouse - which is a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - with my Cats in their Winter Sweaters - courtesy of Aardvark - to keep them extra toasty warm. Holding onto a mug of tea, which I used to help hold my book open like a bookmark - a pose from -Extra- by the way - it's time to clear my head and get lost in my book...

Flakes on the Fae

I felt like doing something a little goofy but the way I become a goofy little snow fae, dancing around on the breeze with the other snow flakes in the softly falling snow was a lot less goofy, if you discount my cheeky grin... I LOVE being a little icy this time of year, I'm definitely better when it's cold...

She's such a pretty cold thing, like Elsa said "the cold never bothered me anyway" and I think even though the little flake fae has a touch of the frostbite - a layer created by The Rotting Lab - and she's covered in Snow, she's still able to smile... 
Her accessories all assist in her manufacture of the snow flakes... Aiode Flakes - from random.Matter at the current Santa Inc event which runs until January 2nd - in her jewellery to help her create the magical flakes, and the Snowbell Glasses - from Violetility at The Warehouse - which not only create the sounds of snow fall but also protect her eyes from snow blindness...

Rub-A-Dub-Dub... An Ice Cream Tub!

It's my day off today, and I've been sat around trying to chillax because I KNOW that I have two full days of work coming... I needed to relax and aside from some chores it was a lovely day really... 
Relaxation for me comes in the form of reading at the moment, but I did have a LOVELY long shower. I love a hot shower, and even though it looks nice and relaxing, I've never really been a bath kinda girl. I don't like the idea of sitting around in my own dirty water lol... 

Rudh on the other hand likes to have a nice, long hot bath to enjoy her Still Time - an older but brilliant backdrop from FOXCITY - lots of hot water to relax her muscles, a lovely smell as the bubbles pop and a feeling of soothing. It's also a fabulous place to have a snack... Today whilst Rudh has been relaxing in a bath, she decided on an Ice Cream Tub - from Junk Food, available until August 30th at Anthem - but she realised that you have to be quick when eating an Ice Cream in the bath as the steam melts it faster than normal...

Rudhbow Brite!

I am an 80's child, born in 1986 and raised through the 90's I look back on my childhood fondly. I've been thinking about having children of my own lately, and although I love kids I wonder what kind of Mum I'd make. I'm still too much of a kid mentally, I love doing things that are childish and I wonder would I be any good if I had to be the example... It's not something that I need to think about, it won't be happening for a while... 
I'll just use the time to look back on my childhood and one of my favourite characters... Rainbows are EVERYWHERE in SL at the moment, thanks to Pride, but there's always ONE Rainbow that sticks out... 

RAINBOW BRITE was one of my favourite characters, and I LOVED her stories, her companions and her colourful happy nature... 
I will never be able to make a perfect version, but today I pay homage to Rainbow Brite, in my own Rudhbow Brite... Like Rainbow Brite I've some amazing companions, a rainbow Unicorn Balloon - created by Aardvark, available at ACCESS - that she rides through the clouds, whilst her Juicebox companions - created by MishMish and available at Kustom9 - float along with her in their "Up Up & Away" Mini Hot Air Balloons - from Simply Shelby, available until June 22nd at Cosmopolitan...

The Vampire's New Lady

There is a LOT of drama taking place in SL at the moment as a revelation has been made within a RL article about ageplay at the highest level of SL organization, the drama seems very justified as residents are standing up for what's right and demanding change... It's great to see that people are rallying together against this cause and not fighting on opposing arguements...
Though it's got me on edge, worrying about the bad that may come our way, my anxiety is high when I worry about what could happen to my little corner of online magic... I need to do something simply creative, something to spread a little love and colour and maybe a little happiness... 

I feel like I'm going a little batty, it's bonkers in SL at the moment and who knows where this whole thing will end up, but I want to spread a little love, and I'm heading into the attic... I've decided to approach the vampire bats - from Vizarte - who may be able to direct her to their master so she can be Bitten - shown by the Tristan Flinders - and turn into the gorgeous WereBat - a release from Forest Fantasy Store at the Midnight Requiem round of Enchantment - that matches with the way her mind is feeling... 
Of course, her bat form was more than a little appealing to the vampire master, in her dazzling Serafina Gown - from Astralia - in it's sheer silk delicacy. He instantly wanted to woo, wanted her for his bride and make sure she was Taken - which is actually a pose set name from Fashiowl - and that started with a HUGE bouquet of two dozen roses - from hive...

Hair: TRUTH - Tumble in Redhead

The Sugar Doughnut Bandit

Things on my blog have been a little bit food related recently, lol I guess I should stop blogging around dinner time. My mind is only drawn towards the food stuffs when I'm taking my pictures, though today I'll admit it's less dinner, more dessert. I want something sweet, I want something cakey, I want sweet cake and that could be DOUGHNUTS... Gotta love doughnuts... 

Tonight you can call me the Sugar Doughnut Bandit... I got arrested and dragged to a police station, funny to think of someone bringing doughnuts into a police station isnt it lol...

Festive Costume for the Ents

It's getting closer and closer, the big day is looming, a day that we've been working towards for weeks if not months. Christmas is coming. People everywhere are getting festive and it's definitley beginning to look a lot like Christmas... 
People seem to often enjoy dressing up all festive, be that in gorgeous outfits or in ugly Christmas sweaters, and it's not just the people that are involved... Fantasy beings are also getting into the Christmas Spirit... The Ents may even be in your home, masquerading as Christmas Trees... 

The Ents - in this case are an avatar collection from Forest Fantasy Store - are the tree folk, residents of Middle Earth that are protectors of the Fangorn Forest... BUT they don't often get to participate in the Christmas festivites.UNTIL NOW... 
A plan was hatched that meant they could come down out of the snowy woods and slip into the festivities in a very prominent but unknown way... Have you checked your Christmas Tree? Do the lights always hang the same? Have the Baubles twisted? Perhaps there is an Ent watching the festivities up close... Decked in pretties, sparkling with lights and glittery balls, hiding their gifts at their feet...

Baddie of Mario Land

Sometimes I find myself getting a little random in my blogging... I guess that I live up to the name sake of my blog really. I start with an item, get confused, find another item that kinda looks cool with the first item and after a few minutes my mind whizzes off to the most random of places... 
For me today that random place my mind went to happened to be Mario Land because the idea that came bouncing into my mind was started by a hat and teamed with some gloves and tadaaaaaaa.... I was dressing myself Bowser Style... 

I can't help where my mind runs off to, I never knew that Mario Land would be so much fun especially when I went from being the good guy before to being on the bad team... 
I started with one of those amazing Neon Demon Hat - from Tardfish - and I know that Bowser doesn't wear horns but maybe I'll be like his crazed cousin Demser. I feel like I could get myself worked up, I want to beat things up so that they don't get in the way, I have a set of amazing Smash Hands - from Junk Food - and knock the bad stuff down... All I need to do is Level Up...

Dare to be Different

Sometimes I get distracted with all different kinds of prettiness, lots of colours, lots of styles and lots of randomly wild ideas drift through my brain... I never know where my creativity will take me from one day to the next but sometimes, the smallest of things make the biggest impacts for me in my mind. 
I will always admit that I am kinda split in the personalities... I love pretty, girlie, sparkly things, but then I love the dark, macabre and twisted with a touch of kink too... Today I've found a way to make my two worlds collide, it all came about in my dance class... 

My dance class takes place in an Abandoned Attic - a backdrop from Paleto - where we all come in, dump our dance bags and bottles of water, then begin our stretches. Some of us taking our places at the Barre, whilst others stretch in the middle of the floor, testing out our pointes and warming up our muscles... 
The shoes chosen by the majority of our dance team are beautifully, silky, soft Ballet Pointes - from Salt & Pepper, that are available until March 27th at FaMESHed - but there's always one, and that's the side of me that prefers the dark, kinky and twisted... This is closer to my normal style, but even for this style there happens to be the most perfect pair of Fetish Ballet Heels - from Astralia - that I wore with some fishnets rather than matching the other dancers today... I LOVE to stand out in the crowd... I love to turn heads... I love doing things that are a little bit different, you should know me by now, never the same, always changing... Loving each and every style I own...

Dino Butt Snacks

I got home from work and felt like I had been hit by a bus this evening. Work was busy and stressful, and so when I got home there was nothing better than slipping into my comfy jammies, and raid the kitchen in search of food... 

I have no idea what to eat but right now I fancy junk food... I need junk food, something delicious and not good for me, but more than that I need to think about feeding my babies... The fur babies in RL, and the soft, adorable Dino Butts - from Tardfish at Cupid Inc - that I allow to share my comfortable snuggly bed... 
Time to pose an interesting question for you though, what do Dino Butts like to eat? There can only be one answer, and that would be a bag full of delicious little FooFoos - also from Tardfish, but this time at Equal10 - which come in delicious flavours, although the Dino Butts seem to favour the Lizard flavour...

Time to get Wrapping...

Christmas is a week away now, and there is SO MUCH left to do...

Fairies Bringing the Snowflakes

Everywhere in the neck of the woods in the RL world, things seem to be dusted with the cold, white stuff... This morning, there was lots of thick frost on our car, and I've seen pictures of people playing in snow, and people skating on the ice in the Netherlands. It's COLD, my fingers and toes are feeling the chill and have become little ice blocks, and all I feel like doing is curling up under a blanket to hide... 
The snow fairies have been dancing through my part of the world, leaving trails of frost and twirling flakes of snow on the air.... 

A Magical Frozen Winter Scene - a backdrop from irrISIStible - where the trees are lit with sparkles as the snowflakes dance in the moonlight, and the Snow Fae explore the fresh drifts... 
Snow fairies are both sweet and pretty, but dark and devious too... There are some that showcase the beautiful side of snow fall, there are others that bring the black ice... The black flakes from the dark fairies totally opposite to the sparkling white ones, it's less Merry Christmas, more Merry Gothmas...

Wearing a Blanket on Laundry Day

I love going on holidays, and I love coming home and returning to my usual stuff - some stuff more than others - but one thing that I'm not keen on is the mountain of laundry that seems to fall out of my suitcase as I get home. I opened my case, I took out the most important thing, a Christmas Pudding made by my mum and then had to start loading the machine... Until that point I'd washed all my things I'd have nothing to wear... 

This time of year is a little too cold to be sitting around in my nudiepants, that's naked for people that don't speak Rudhese by the way, and I had to find a way to keep warm whilst all my clothes were getting cleaned. I got lucky in this case, I'd received the most wonderfully warm, soft, fluffy 'Wrap Me Up' blanket - from Ananas, available until December 23rd at Tannenbaum in 6 different fun colours - and sat on the floor to watch the awesome show in the spinning machine.

October is a Busy Month for Candy Demons!

I've had a massive migraine all day, it's only finally calmed a little since I left work early, had a nap, a long hot shower and finally had a chance to eat a bowl of my favourite soup and some toast. It's such a relief that the worst of the pain has subsided. I guess the sugar in my dinner has helped... 
So while I've had sugar on the brain, there's a sugar hungry demoness in me wanting to get out into the light, I'm going to let her... She's going to be my Day 6 look for my 31 Days of Halloween looks... 

She's popular with the Baby Baphies - from Yomi - that are addicted to her sugary treats, everywhere she goes she leaves a trail of sprinkles in the wind. There are so many sugary sprinkles, she is covered in them and for this reason she plays a VERY important role in Halloween season as she's the demon in charge of making sure that all the kids are filled to the brim with candy so chaos is caused! 
It's a super dark magic that creates all of the candy at this time of year, and to control that magic, instead of a wand she's armed with her Sugar Scythe - an awesome creation from Decoy available until October 22nd at Salem - just a swish of her scythe and all the veggies become candies!!! God sometimes I wish that was a real thing hehe...

It's Taco Tuesday!!

I've said it multiple times, but I have to stop working on blogposts while I'm thinking about Dinner... I will say though that tonight's meal choice was a little easy, tonight due to the day of the week, we're having Tacos... It's Taco Tuesday in our house... Come on over, grab a plate and enjoy the fiesta, there's plenty for everyone!

We're heading into Mexico - thanks to a surrealistic backdrop from astralia, in an old gacha collection - but please know that I'm sorry to anyone who is Mexican for my very cheesy, portrayl of something stereotypically badly Mexican... I know it's a poor example of being Mexican wearing a sombrero and eating tacos. I imagine it's as bad as people thinking that because I'm a Brit I know the Queen LOL... 
I'll make it up to everyone, I mean don't get me wrong I do LOVE my sombrero and my adorable 'Folk Shift' dress, but I know I need to do more... Come join the party, come take a plate, we're having a Spicy Fiesta - thanks to Dust Bunny. There's tacos, corn, quesadillas and fully loaded nachos, and to top it all off, I've brought in a Dancing Cacti mariachi band - hired from the Tardfish company - to bring alive that festive fiesta feeling...

Tropical Fruit Juices

It's been a very hot day, and actually it's going to be hotter over the weekend so right now I'm trying to do anything to cool myself off... 
Frankly I'd like to be somewhere cool and relaxing, a tropical beach perhaps where the sounds of the rolling waves and the breeze in the palm trees is the loudest of noises. It would be nice to sit on a beach in the shade of a palm tree with a nice, cool, glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice! 

This gorgeous little beach bar set out tables laiden with fresh tropical fruits - thanks to the amazing Tropical Fruit Selection from vespertine - and fruity Ice Lollies, that can be ground fresh by the blender - from Disorderly - that is available for use on the table. I made myself a delicious Summer Drink of Berry and Ananas - it's actually an awesome VEHICLE, yes vehicle, from Ananas, available until July 20th at The Fifty. It makes for a delicious juice, but also an awesome chilled place for a little dip...

Margaritas on Friday!

It's finally Friday, and this week seems to have been one that's been frought with drama on SL Facebook - the body debate, really seems to have divided the people on SL facebook, its been a debate that's messed with my Anxiety level and so I'm trying to avoid it as much as possible. It's a pointless arguement in which people are bringing body shaming into SL... 
I think it's time for a drink or two, something tht will help me relax a little. I feel tense by all of the drama, I don't come to SL for drama, I'm done with drama... I need something stiff to drink... I'm also not good with straight alcohol, so I'm in the mood to whip up a batch of cocktails... 

I've decided to set myself up a little back yard party, everything is bright and sunny and it seems like the perfect way to relax on a Friday afternoon, even if I'm doing it on my own... I slipped into a bikini, and pulled my hair into a cute high ponytail - a special release called Synthia, by Astralia for Hair Fair 2022 - and set up a cute little bar area, close to my pool. 
I was whipping up a batch of Margaritas and decided that today I needed MUCHO Margaritas, filled with brightly coloured straws and pretty things like umbrellas - luckily Junk Food has created a batch of them for N21 this month. Whilst I was busy making cocktails though I had an accidental spill, some of the margarita mix splashed and ended up in my pool... Then I had the idea... MARGARITA POOL!
