I love and miss my Grandma, not going to lie... Yes it seems random to say, but it will all make sense if you bear with me and keep reading. Today is my MC Sister Lilian's 50th Birthday and so last night we threw her a little party. Her chosen theme was old people and so we created a retirement home that we filled with Techno!
Though this morning, I was sitting drinking my tea, and my favourite little friend came to visit... She came to see Granny Rudh, dressed like Granny Rudh LOL... TOO CUTE!!!
Isn't my little granny baby so freaking cute... I've been seeing them all over the place, and I HAD to have one. I always swore no babies, but I couldn't resist her, I NEEDED Her!!! She's my little RudhBone... She's someone I bought from Black Bantam - a Old Lady Costume Baby - and is a weird messed up love child of myself and Mara, with some HellBone on the side, named RudhBone by Chopper LOL... Poor little bubba...
But then I needed lot look like a little old lady for Lil's party... My first idea is to always reach for the Izzie's Face Wrinkles, then some white or in this case gray hair... A Pant suit and string of pearls later then all I needed was a cardigan, which thanks to MOMOCHUU I can also wear as a blanket when it's cold.

OH MY GAH IT'S ALMOST HERE... The hairiest event of the year opens tomorrow - Saturday July 1st 2017 - and it's looking like this year is going to be a really good one...
I was lucky enough to be one of the chosen that was allowed early access, as part of this year's blogging team, and I can honestly say everyone is in for a treat... There's lots for guys not just girls this year, so in support of those little children needing the wigs let's remove our hair, try on some demos and prepare ourselves to get into the event and help more kids, get wigs!
As you can see Rudh was more than a little excited!! There are SO MANY different hair brands spread over the four sims, from some of SL's top hair designers. Each of these designers have at least three brand new exclusives for the event, and many have freebies or cheapies available for the customers. PLUS this year sees the introduction of the Hair Fair Hares each of which are being sold exclusively at the event for a 100% donation to the cause - you can see them in the pictures of my favourite goodies below!
Just a few little tips to help you have an easier time of things at the Hair Fair when it opens tomorrow;
- Remove anything scripted to help reduce lag - no one is looking at you, they only want the hair so who cares what you look like right?
- Take your time, there is no rush and things will reach you eventually... There are also handy redelivery vendors in many of the stores!
- Stores with a floating symbol above them contain Male or Unisex hair - so it's easy for the boys to spot them.
- Remember you can walk around the pathways at the event, it's a continuous loop but beware of sim crossings!
As I mentioned before there are many freebies or cheapies are available in many stores, these are my favourites from each sim...
Please bear in mind though that no LMs will be provided until tomorrow when the event opens...
Good luck getting in and grabbing your hair... While you're there maybe chuck a few extra lindens into the pot and get yourself a Hare!!!

Pft what a weekend that was, you know I'm actually glad today is Monday and I am back to work - not that I am happy about being in the office - it brings normality and that right now is MUCH needed! The weekend has been a crazy whirlwind of conversations that have taken me on a bit of a rollercoaster ride, and I just really hope that things will smooth themselves out soon...
If that doesn't work then perhaps I will have a lobotomy... Ya know, get my brain removed so I don't need to think anymore?! I could have it put in formaldehyde and preserved until the stress and tension was over?! In fact it might be the best use of my brain right now, I'm not sure I really want it anymore now I learnt a few things that bug me...
I've always been an over thinker... It's one of my worst traits, but not only do I over think I over think, I tend to think of the worst possible outcome and dwell on it... It's not something I'm proud of and it's something that I let myself get hurt by time and time again but it's hard to train the brain to think otherwise.
So on the whole theme of a lobotomy - which is sounding better by the second - I HAD just been to the BodyFy Event and picked up these awesome new "Killer Injury" Face Wounds from PaperDolls, one of which just happens to be a Lobotomy Wound.
The perfect location - or should that be destination for a lobotomy of this kind - is the Ironwood Hills Asylum... It caters for all kinds of people and has plenty of soft warm rooms to make rehabilition an easy task - if you don't mind the screams of other patients of course!
What is she wearing;
Hair: Blues - Heather in Colours 2
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Wound: PaperDolls - Killer Injury (Available until June 24th at BodyFy)
Collar: Kibitz - Collar Collection Gacha Item in Elsa Collar (7) (Available until August 15th at The Epiphany)
Tattoos: [White Widow] - Nerve in Black
Bra: Pixicat - Siren Set in nr2 Red
Top: Chemical Princess - Heler Shirt (Available until August 31st at AnyBody)
Pants: 1 Bad Pixel - Skinny Leathers in Black (No Longer Available!)
Pose: Image Essentials - Glasses 1 (Available until August 28th at Depraved Nation Thrift Store)
How did it get so hot so fast?! For the last few days I've felt like I've been melting and today is shaping up to be more of the same! I've never really been a fan of hot weather, I'm much more of an Autumn and Winter kind of girl. I mean OK when you go on Vacation, you want sunny weather but then you aren't stuck at home doing the chores and working the jobs and you can just kick back, relax and enjoy!
Still I guess being stuck to my computer due to working so much does have it's perks... I can spend more time in SL taking pictures than normal LOL... I'm exploring, shopping and taking some pretty pictures all at the same time, so I guess it's a little like a holiday?! Perhaps?!
It's exactly the case of what happened here... I'd been wearing a gorgeous new dress from Petite Mort - the Henna Slip Dress in a teal colour which is available at the current round of Tres Chic just in case you were wondering - and decided to take my new little buddy that I adopted recently on a walk somewhere different and new...
The location is a place called Neverfar, and it's got a serene but also haunting feel to it... It's definitely worth checking out.
If you're thinking about adopting a puppy like I did I should let you know that my new little friend is an adorable Countryside Collie from Jian. To adopt one is very simple, just head to their special adoptions location at The Epiphany and you too could walk away with your own adorable little friend...
OH while I'm rambling, there is one last thing that really does deserve a new noteworthy mention... My new favourite Hair! I seem to be wearing this all the time at the moment, and not only does it look cute, I donated to a great cause when I bought it! This is a Hair Fair release from the store Blues. I am kinda ashamed to admit it, but I've never really paid much attention to Blues hair until very recently... Maybe it's time I did a little more Blues shopping?!
OK OK I am done rambling... Time to enjoy my walk before the sun gets too hot...

Hair Fair 2016 starts in just a few short hours and I have to say there are lots of lovely wigs for the ladies - and gents - that are Hair Obsessed... All in the name of a great cause.
Now over the next few weeks I'll be sharing some of the awesome degsigns that I picked up, long and updos and even a few shorter ones, and I will be explaining more about the cause, but I wanted to share with you some of the gifties that are available at the event.
My favourite gifts from all four of the sims...
First up... Backlot Central...
This is a hairstyle that is available from Blues, and I LOVE it... You can buy it as a donation item with a hud to change the design of the hat, but I wanted to share the special gift which supports the cause of the event - Wigs for Kids.
Then Backlot East...
This is a hairstyle from KoKoLoReS called Rue, and it has the Rachel look to it... Ya know the friends style that was soooooooo popular all those years ago. I'm also wearing the (fashionably dead) giftie which is the cute choker - or the Sweet Bow Choker - which comes in a set of a few colours!
Third sim on my list is Backlot North...
This hairstyle is the gift from Phoenix called Gracia, which screamed as something that was perfect with the amazing Moustache from Valient.
Lastly, the Backlot West...
The Amacci Hair is a cute updo that I couldn't resist sharing in pretty pinks, and it looks adorable with the pretty Hair Bow from Stealthic.
So those are my favourites, but there are LOTS and LOTS more! The Freebies aren't the only reasons to head into the fair though so please don't miss a chance to take a look around the sims...
It won't be long now till it opens.. You don't have long to wait!!

Today will be a day of mermaids for me... I don't know how but I have been acting a little fishy a LOT lately... It's nothing new, I mean throughout my SL time I've been either a Fae, a Vampire or a Mermaid when playing dress up - before settling on the living dead dolly I am now - but at the moment there seems to be a lot of focus on the fishy folk hehe...
This mermaid me is not just for fun though, she's also a charitable hero - raising money to help someone in need... There is a charity event in SL at the moment called The Lexi Project - raising money to help Lexi Zelin - owner and creator of AngelRED Couture - who recently had a rather nasty medical diagnosis and now faces mounting medical bills... To read more, I would recommend you check The Lexi Project's website and then go check out the over 300 SL designers who are donating 100% of their sales to help!!
The mermaid look I am wearing today started out as two different items that were a kinda sorta collaboration between two stores that I love blogging for...
The skin is one from Stargazer Creations, and like all of Aggie's skins, this one is beautiful... Well thought out, perfectly decorated with it's magical swirling pattern and such a vibrant, jewel-like shade too... I will be hard pushed to find fantasy skins from anywhere else that I like as much!!
The other part of the collaboration is everything else I'm wearing with the exception of my eyes and hair LOL... Made by ImmateriA the Hopeful Tidings Mermaid Outfit includes heaps of stuff - tail, cape, hat and jewellery, not to forget the bra too... It like the Stargazer skin is so beautifully textured that it shows how much time and effort Naenia puts into her designs.
Both of these things are being offered as 100% donation items at The Lexi Project, and these are just the very tip of the iceburg... There are heaps and heaps more gorgeous things to check out, so head on over and help Miss Zelin... Get something, Help someone, it will make you smile I promise!
What is she wearing;
Hair: Blues - Lunaire (Past Freebie at Hair Fair 2015)
Skin: Stargazer Creations - Hope Skin (Available Now at The Lexi Project)
Eyes: antielle & *Katat0nik* - Nebulae Faun Eyes & Lens Set (Past Event Release)
Outfit (including Tail, Bra, Cape, Hat and Jewellery): ImmateriA - Hopeful Tidings (Available Now at The Lexi Project)
So now it's time to talk colours again... The Color Me Poject has started once again, and boy this time there are a LOT of pretty shoes... Maybe my next post will just be shoes?!
The colour this time is, although I don't tend to wear a lot of it, a fairly useful and easy one to keep a collection of. You never know when this colour will come in handy, and it is, a very hand colour to have for any look! I'm talking about White! White like black is one of those colours that works well with a lot of different colours. This time I'm rocking pastel and white look, next time, who knows it could be monochromes or even electrics!
The White Look that I chose to share today is all because of a dress that I would NEVER in a million years have thought about buying, but actually once I had it on, and had dressed it up, it suited me so well in it's kookiness that I wasn't going to just forget about it!
The dress in question is one for the Color Me Project from Jinx. Called Amelia - a nickname my friends in RL used to give me if I was being a moody cow - it is everything girlie that I would never normally be seen dead in... Frills, pastel butterflies and then white on top of that, I'd normally shy away from a dress like this, but I think in this look it works for me! I teamed it with a pair of sky high platform heel boots, called Kirsten from VG Shoes, and then added some Rudhish style accessories in the form of this HUGE Pastel Wig from Blues adorned with a Hair Rose that comes from the Mag<3.B. Pink My Babe Outfit and a pretty pearl necklace from Odelitte.
The other thing that should have honourable mention is this AWESOME War-Ready ILO Bear from yumyums. Now these were made for the just closed Creepy Kawaii fair, but Iokko has had ILO bears in her collection for almost as long as she has had a store. I still have the mark 1 - i-loo - style from way back when yumyums was known as Sugar. No matter the colour these come in, I LOVE THEM... Always have and always will... These are one of my favourite toys in my SL hoard!!!
OH just a little peek at my Picnic too... I will no doubt have a close-up look at this soon, but for now, tea?
