Gorgon Chained!

You may well know now that I work in a public setting, and there are people that seem to do everything in their power to put you down because you don't have the things they do have. I get that some of the tourists have more material things than others but today those same kinda people basically shoved other people out the way to stuff their face on tasting samples and then complained about the price of the product... I had such a hard time not rolling my eyes, but it brought out a monster in me and although that varies from time to time, the monster of today would be a gorgon LOL... 

I love when my mind takes me to al kinds of different monsterous places, but since I'm watching Wednesday and think that Ajax is the cutest little sweetie so a Gorgon definitely demands my attention... Plus she's the kind of monster that I need when I'm at work sometimes, being able to turn people that look at her hair to stone would definitely help make thing easier when I'm dealing with rude, annoying customers... 
Monsters like her have to be kept chained up for the safety of others, and while she's a little misunderstood, they bound the wrong parts of her... Eyes closed under a blindfold, while her snakes are loose... 

What is she wearing;
Hair & Accessory: Usagi Society - Vibora Hair in Streak
Head & Skin: BeSpoke - Nopperabo

Backdrop: Clover - Sand temple backdrop

Time for a little Dark Magic!

I need a little magic after the events of yesterday, and I'm really sorry but I really hope that the driver of the truck who decided to drive fast through a puddle and therefore soaked me for my whole day at work got caught in traffic with a case of explosive butt pee... There is very little chance that the magic I am channelling will be for good... It's like to be some kind of twisted, dark necromancer magic...  

Luckily in Second Life we are still experincing the magical effects of the Midnight Order. This event will be reaching it's halfway peak over the next few days and there will be plenty more chaos to make those that want the dark magic, able to find it... 
Take it from Rudh, a witness account if you will, one moment she was confessing her sin regarding the explosive butt pee in the Corrupted Churches' Confessional - which is a Midnight Order release from LORE by the way - and the next the magic was swirling as she becomes an Infernal Undead Lady Mortis awaiting her orders by the Necromancer's Necrohex Table - from BROKEN ARROWS also at Midnight Order!

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...

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...

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... 

What is she wearing;
Hair: Wasabi - Rue K9 Ed. Hair in Absolute Pack

Valentine's Treats!

I know that I have said that I am away in the UK, and that I wouldn't be blogging anything because I'm having family time... Well... That was a kinda fib on my part, it's Valentine's Day and I wouldn't have been able to pass this romance filled day by without sharing SOMETHING on my rambling space would I?! If you answered yes to that, I wonder, do you even know me at all? LOL... Of course I'd find the time to do something full of romance and hearts and far too much sweetness... 

Of course, I will admit that I KNEW there might be something coming. I got ahead of myself and set something up before I left home because I knew myself and that I simply couldn't pass by a day like Valentine's without having something to say here lol... It's an addiction I fully admit to, and I'm going to own it... 
So I'll keep things short and sweet today, and send lots of love hugs and kisses... Remember to love yourself today, doesn't matter if you're in the self-love club or you're happily with someone... Loving yourself is an important step to greatness and if there is ONE PERSON in this world we should all be able to rely on, it's ourselves...

Fresh Out, So I'm Off!

That's it, it's officially Wednesday in my neck of the woods and that means only ONE THING this week... TODAY IS THE DAY I SAY BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE... Today is the day that I am officially checking out of my adulting life because today is the day that I am going back to my parents for the week. I will be the only one there too, which means I get undivided attention - ask me later if that's still something I am happy about - but I guess one last post to you now can't and won't hurt... 

So I woke myself up WAY TOO EARLY, I dunno if it was excitement or stress induced but hey, it gave me an extra few hours to be able to sit down with a coffee and write to you about my immanent departure... I've checked and double checked that I have everything, and HellBone won't allow me to take the cat because he needs someone to look after him so I THINK I'm ready to go...  
SO I won't be around until the 22nd - although you know me I'll be lurking somewhere in the background and MAY even have a post prepared, though don't get your hopes up too much at this point - but don't miss me too much... I will be back!!!

Bathtime for the OwlBears

I've been off work today because I have terrible pain running up and down my back. Any time I took a step it was like lightning ran down my right leg. Hubby was looking after me but I was able to take it easy and things are maybe getting better... I've put off doing my chores, I've put off doing anything besides relaxing and reading a book and taking a long hot shower... 

Rudh on the other hand had a few things to be getting on with... Chores to do around the house and tasks she'd offered to help with because they seemed far too cute not to... That was why she found herself in the Gothic Attic Skybox - a creation by LORE for Midnight Order - of the grand old wizard, to assist him on Owlbear wash day... The wash station was set-up on his Potions Station - which is a cute creation from ChiMia also for Midnight Order - and he had gathered his Owlbears - which are a release from Aardvark, also for Midnight Order - ready for their bath...

Chocolate & Cookies

I've been having a very lazy day today, the last few days at work were bonkers due to a Spanish National Holiday which saw a lot more Spanish tourists in Amsterdam and therefore the shop was insanely busy... Don't ask me why it got so busy, I don't think all of the shops in our brand were that busy but we were crazy... 
Today I wanted something calming to do and that meant I was going to start my Christmas decorating... 

After the weekend I'd had so far, this couldn't be a RL think since I was aching all over, but my SL space is different... I started in the kitchen and planned the perfect happy place...
I LOVE having a place to make something delicious, and Hot Chocolate feels like the perfect Winter treat. While shopping in the sales this weekend, I got my hands on a new Slowcooker - from Movement as part of the Licor Chocolate Set - and decided to set up my own Hot Chocolate Stand - thanks to a set from Junk Food at Santa Inc until January 2nd - in my kitchen... 
Adding a handful of cookies and cakes, with a handful of decorations for Christmas cheer and I'm a happy girl...

I Wish I Could Bake Cakes!

I have been working on bettering myself this year...
I've been exercising more and have lost around 25kilos. I'm reading more so that I spend less time looking at a screen, which is helping me with a reduction in headaches and a better feeling about myself, as a way to relaxing and taking my mind off to places that aren't my normal. I'm trying to work on my photography skills, improving my pictures and taking time to try taking pictures of other things, broadening my horizons if you will. Everything is getting better, everything is making me feel better in myself and I'm proud of the changes that I've been making... Now what do I want to do to improve myself?

I'm good with reading, I'm good with taking pictures - and I'm not one of the best but what I do makes me happy anyway - and I LOVE crocheting so much that my blanket is ALMOST ready. I love cooking and make a mean curry, but there is one skill that I am really wanting to improve on is learning how to bake... My mum makes the most amazing fruit cakes, my sister is a champion cookie maker, if I so much as attempt at baking a cake with boxed ingredients I could burn the house down. I LOVE CAKE. I wish I could bake cakes. It would save me so much money if I could bake rather than buy cakes! 
Once I've gotten better skills, I think I could start a business... Baking cakes for willing victims, I mean, customers... A Spooky Cake, boed and ready to be collected - from Junk Food - and a Cheeky Cake with a sexy suggestion that will hopefully get someone lucky - like the cakes from Krescendo, available until September 10th at FaMESHedX - there should be cakes for everyone!!

The Sheriff Needs Target Practice!

I've never been that into the tales of cowboys, and country western music makes me feel bored - don't come at me, we all have our own things and so many people laugh at me for Take That lol - but I heard that there is a new Shot Gun event sweeping into town and well, I guess it's time to get my 'yee-haw' on... 

I'm going to be getting myself into a brilliant little bit of trouble, but first for now I'll be hiding in the barn while I get ready and have things practiced before I make my cowgirl appearance... 
The biggest secret of the moment happens to be that some how I managed to land myself in the role of Sheriff, being offered a Sheriff Badge - from Puddles - before I've even had a chance to show my worth... I had the amazing outfit ready - thanks to the gorgeous new release from miss chelsea for the Shot Gun Event with it's Wild West Theme that is running now until June 6th - but as HellBone tells me I have the aim of a stormtrooper when firing a gun... I needed some practice, I was being taunted by the Bandit Bash Game - from MadPea that allows you to beat the crap outta some bandits when you are in a mood - so I picked up the Lone Rider BB Gun - from Junk Food - and took aim. Don't worry it's not a real gun, it would only dent the bandits, but before I could get more than one shot off, the gaggle of Deputy Ducks - from Aardvark, but like many of the items blogged today are available at the Shot Gun Pop Up Event - swarmed in and, although I was the sheriff and they are my new deputies, I figured that I was in trouble! Oopsie!!

Flower Petals and Leaves

A lovely day off today... It's been a peaceful day, and that was very much needed as I've been going crazy all over the place lately. 
I wanted to slip into a little fantasy place, somewhere that my mind could be restful and enjoy the warm sunshine that is drenching my gardens. The sunshine was making me feel magical, the sunshine made me feel like I could be a fairy in a ruined garden... That was when the magical me came to life... 

Being in the mystical gardens by the Swimming Hole - an older but still a good one from Synnergy.Tavis - the magical Swamp Gazebo - a release from Violetility at Wasteland - appears in the evening sunlight, made more magical today by the solar eclipse. 
There's a leafy imp, part fae, part demon that identifies as a Forest Demon - created using items from Forest Fantasy Store at We Love Roleplay - talking to her Living Leaf Minions - part of the Magic Collection by BROKEN ARROWS - and planning an event of lunar proportions...

Spells on Quills causes Mandrake Mischief!

August has begun, and there is still a few signs of the summer to come... At the moment it already feels like the Autumn has arrived, and that means we're one step closer to the best holiday of the year HALLOWEEN!! It's August, It's nearly Halloween... It's Augween!!! 
So pretty soon school will be starting up again, I always loved school but one of my favourite things that happened around this time of year was when Mum said "let's go shopping for school supplies"... It's not just regular school kids that are going back, the wizards of Hogwarts are needing to get their supplies... The Wizarding Faire has opened on Diagon Alley... There is magical shopping to be done...

In Diagon Alley, at the wand store Olivander's - yes I checked that it was correct with my Harry Potter obsessed sister and is actually a Sorcery Photo Stage from [piXit] - where the Wand Shelves - from Quills & Curiosities for Wizarding Faire - are made of walnut and stacked high with thousands of boxed wands in all different shapes, sizes and magics... The owner has popped off on a little vacation to visit a friend in need, and left an apprentice in charge who has taken it upon herself to enchant some of the Candy Quills - also from Quills & Curiosities - that are perfect for writing love notes... Admittedly the magic in the shop HAS caused a few little problems... Mandrakes running everywhere, its a Mandrake Mischief - thanks to the adorable new release from Aardvark, also available now at the Wizarding Faire - and there is chaos all around... 
On a side note, I have to show you these amazing earrings that I'm wearing. They are the Vision Earrings from Six Feet Under which are available now at Planet 29... They are amazing, and because my picture didn't show them off as clearly as I'd hoped I'm adding the ad below... Aren't they pretty?!

Moths love the Lamplight!

It's been a while since I've had a craving to take a chance to do something a little magical. For some reason, I've been finding it hard to focus on blogging lately and have not been able to get in the zone and dip my toes into the fantastical world... 
Today though, as the lights started going down and lamps were lit, the magic of the night starts to come to life.. As beautiful as their daytime counterparts, the moths are the silent dancers of the night's sky... Guardians of the Night Fae, and the messengers of the Eagles, and serenly ghost-like...

Everyone knows that Moths are drawn to the light, they dance from the darkness and seek out any source... The Lanterns in the garden providing the softest of glows, the twinkling into the darkness and as the song goes, my lamp light brings all the "moths to the yard"...

Magically Summoning A Valentine

It's Valentines Weekend, and everywhere I look it seems like there are so many couples being cute and adorably sweet, but knowing my Hubby I'm going to be doing things all by myself on Tuesday and over the rest of the Valentines weekend. I got home from work, after a stupidly long and mental work day today, and I decided to take matters into my own hands. I wanted to find myself someone who'd appreciate me, I needed to find myself a special valentine that HellBone couldn't object to... It was time to head to the store to collect a few things and work a little magic... 

There are so many good things at the store these days to prepare for  magic spell on Valentines... I had a look at the spell that I've found in one of those cheesy "Ravishing" Romance Novels - from Random.Matter at Cupid Inc - which said I needed some Valentines Candy both chocolate and love heart styles, some beautifully scented flowers and since it's something that I enjoy a variety of different Valentines coffees, since they are definitely a way to a girls heart... Then place "The Perfect Boyfriend" made from chocolate - and released by Junk Food at Cupid Inc - into a pentacle of  Love Hearts and start chanting... If the magic works, your chocolate man will become your perfect Valentine...

Using Christmas Gifts to Seduce Me

Around this time of year, everyone starts to send out their pretty, couply Christmas Cards with well wishes for the holidays and into the new year. I have been planning on getting somethign cute and couply done with HellBone, but then there are so many pretty, but rather risque poses out there that he'd never be happy posing in... I needed to find help, someone I know lives on the risque side of life, someone I feel safe and comfortable to bare all and lower my inhibitions with, and someone that means a lot to me since I was thinking of one of those cutesy Christmas card pictures in the darkest corners of my mind... 

The obvious choice had to be Deangelo, a man who has been a rock for me since we met over 15 years ago. Our relationship has changed over the years, but no matter how far away from each other we drifted, we have always been watching out for each other. He's protective of me, and I of him. He is someone that knows the real me, the truth behind my sparkly facade and he's supported me on so many occasions that I have lost count so many times over... 
I asked him to celebrate Christmas a little early with me this year, I made sure I was wrapped up in ribbons so that he would enjoy the unwrapping of the gifts as I asked him to Seduce Me - thanks to a pose from Secret Poses. I wanted to test out Santa's toys for naughty girls that had been left for me in the stockings over the fireplace - by LEMME -, and on the festive Tree Toy Rack - from Krescendo - to see which one will bring the biggest smile to the face of this Ho Ho Ho!

Choices, Choices, which door do I choose?

Halloween has finally left the building, although I don't think it will ever fully be gone from my corner of the world. Though there is lots of magic still swirling around in the air, and I know that since Rudh is always into the magical arts, that there will ALWAYS be plenty of magic and monsters and darkness... Yet right now, as the Halloween magic fades away Rudh has a choice, is she going to be playing more on the darkside of the magic, or will she be able to follow to the light?

Standing before the doors in the Library of Portals - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - she has to make her decision before the doors are able to close and block the magic for a while. The dark side is hoping to lure her in with it's beautiful collection of skulls and devious little monsters, but the good side is offering up sparkles and magic tricks and everythig that's cute and adorable! 
Which door should I take? Which is the right path for me... You know it's such a hard choice to make!!!

Salem's Sisters

Yesterday I missed my chance at working on a 31 Days of Halloween look since I was down and out with a terrible migraine... I guess that's why today I went above and beyond and over did things a little, making not just ONE but four of Salem's sisters... Three of the sisters are fairly sensible, focusing on their magic, but the fouth is a bit zany and would rather be riding around on her broom... 
However, I guess we should let the sisters practice what they do best... 

In the Black Widow Pad - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - the Salem Sister's - a pose from -Extra- - stand over the HUGE bubbling cauldron - which is a prop from MadPea - to cast a spell and practice some of the darkest of Halloween magic. Today, they throw in some Koroko Flesh - from Just Tony - a big juicy steak that's been prepped to replicate a heart and some delicious Packaged "Meat" of the Ex-Boyfriend variety - thanks to the brand new releases that are available from Junk Food -  it was time to give someone a little payback!!! 
Although these sisters are a coven, known by all as the Salem Sisters, each one of them has their own special sense of style, perhaps they are a little like the powerpuff girls of witchcraft!

Soup of the Season... PUMPKIN!

I've had a lovely, lazy day off, in which I've done nothing too much more than a little bit of laundry and washing a couple of dishes. Besides that I decided to plan something delicious for dinner, I love having the chance to spend time, planning what I want to cook, and I also spend far too often blogging around dinner time so that my blogging seems to focus on food hehe... 
Today I went down to the local farm, a place called Sunset Rising where the pumpkin patch is already teeming with brilliant orange pumpkins... It's Pumpkin Season! YAY!!

I went with a new friend, a cute little wonky donkey - from Jian - into the field to find a few delicious looking pumpkins. It's not the right time of year yet to get myself pumpkins to crave, though that will come soon, but I have a hankering for some fresh, home-made pumpkin soup. I picked what I needed, promising the rest that I'd come back later, and dipped into the barn to my make-shift kitchen... 
Posing for a snapshot with my Pick of the Patch - a pose from -Extra- - it was time to carve the pumpkin up for some delicious soup...
