My 39th Year Starts...

Tomorrow is my Birthday, and I'm posting this a little early because tomorrow I won't be around as I should be doing some fun things... I don't know what I'm planning to do yet but I will find some trouble to get myself into... I have to celebrate some way though, tomorrow is the start of the last year of my 30s... Tomorrow I turn 39... 

I don't really want to do much to celebrate because I'm feeling sleepy and would rather just have a relaxing day. I will say though, there will be lots of yummy things to eat... PLENTY of Cake and other yummy goodies... 
Anything to have a Happy Fucking Birthday...

Bloody Breakfast Cocktails

HALLOWEEN, and finally I have a day off to be home and able to do all kinds of fun things that mean I'm getting ready for the most wonderful holiday month...The monsters are waking up, monsters are all getting ready for a brilliant fun party month... This morning the vampires are beginning to stir, as the dusk falls, the lady of the house awakens and starts the day making the breakfast juice for her castles guests... 

The vampire nest is found in the Nightshade Manor - a backdrop from Synnergy Tavis that does come with a Skybox version - and it's only around the holidays that the mistress of the house will be first awake. She drained one of the ugly donors stored in the basement, making sure to get a quick taste of the Holy Blood Cocktails... The smell woke not only the blood lust of the vamps, but the monster kitties too...

Birthday Girl

Today is my 111th Birthday... In the words of Bilbo Baggins... Perhaps it's not that number but it's my Birthday all the same and I'm actually 38 today. As my dad wonderfully reminded me, I'm almost 40 and that makes me feel wonderful LOL... 

I've never really bothered with doing much for my birthday, though today my hubby did take me to my favourite second hand stores for some treasure hunting, ordered me a slap up Indian Curry takeaway and spoilt me rotten with books, books and more books... I'm such a spoilt girl...
Being in my late 30s always seemed like such a crazy idea when I was in my teens, now I'm here it feels like my 40s are a lifetime away...

Prepping for the Midnight Ball

Work is SUPER busy at the moment. I've never seen so many people buying cheese on a hot day like today, especially on a Wednesday - traditionally the quietest day of the week - and I've been running around and around, talking to crazy people... I wanted nothing more than a chance to get home and shower then put my feet up, but poor little Rudhie had other plans.

Tonight she'd gotten work at a very special party and it wasn't the kind of gala to miss... A chance to see the elite of the Midnight Order at the Masquerade Ball, in their beautifully, dark glory - even if I'm only able to be there as a waitress... 
Of course, it couldn't be a normal waitressing gig, I HAD to fit the beautiful theme of the ball and wear the elaborate costume of a dark maid, to deliver the tray of delicious Holy Blood Cocktails to the beautiful guests of the Midnight Order. 
Her outfit is a simple Quintina Dress and crisp white collar - from Kiru - decorated with an Aurora Leather Collar - from ANATAYA -  and a super pretty but Bloody Rose Collar - from HARU. Anything above that is just perfectly glamorous, Rudh's hair has been done in a beautiful "Emily" up-do hairstyle, which comes with the gorgeous eyepatch, and some not worn hair accessories - from S-CLUB - with a gorgeous Solaris Crown - from Decoy, available at Collabor88 until August 6th - and some of the most awesome eyeliner and face painted freckles - from GERMINAL.

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!

Risking it at the Casino!

Life is such a gamble every day... You never know what may happen on a day to day basis, I mean since the start of the year we've seen countries go to war, the pandemic is still clinging on and I'm STILL healing after the nightmare that was my conclusion to 2021... 
I decided that instead of gambling through the dangerous things, maybe a trip to the casino is a better idea, least that way it's just money I'm gambling with and not life... 

At Synnergy's Vintage Casino, I decided it was time for a little risk taking... I grabbed myself a fancy cocktail, or since I'm such a classy lady perhaps, I'll make it a Beer Margarita - from ChicChica - I'll even fancy myself up by putting my cigarette in a telescopic cigarette holder lol... Look at me I'm so fancy...

Christmas At The Gingerbread Village

 I'm beginning to get into the Christmas Spirit... It's beginning to feel a lot more like Christmas, as we get closer and closer to the big day... Part of me is looking forward to it, the other part is trying to hide behind the festivites so that my sadness doesn't show. 
Today I decided to disappear into a fantasy world, I'll keep the happy festive Christmas feeling, and drift into a magical land... A land hidden deep in a magical forest, where the snow isn't really as cold, and the houses are made of some interesting building blocks... 

This magical place is a neighbourhood at the North Pole, the inhabitants are neighbours of Santa... The trees are made of cookies, chocolate and candy cane and the snow is sugar... Careful about poking your tongue out to taste snowflakes... The land is inhabited by the Gingerbread Peeps, they are a super cute, but very shy bunch, who love nothing more than decorating their Very Gingerbread Christmas Tree - by Simply Shelby - but my advice is to make sure you visit in disguise if you don't want to scare them away... The best disguise would be a Dress Up Gingerbread - from Ananas at Tannenbaum until December 25th - outfit, which has different designs so that you can blend into any situation, so long as you can resist having a nibble on your own outfit!! 

What is she wearing;
Hair: TRUTH - Arden in Reds
Outfit: Ananas - Dress Up Gingerbread in Jolly (Available until December 25th at Tannenbaum)
Pose: FOXCITY - Celestial, Pose 7

Dear Santa, I can explain...

OK OK so when I did a few things that were a little naughty, and I spent time giving Santa a little gift so he'd empty his sack - lol yes, it was a terrible joke I am well aware of it - but I need to take a moment to step back and have another word with the big man in red... I'll start off as if I'm writing a letter it's easier that way... "Dear Santa, I can explain..."

While relaxing in the evening, looking out over the city landscape, I mulled over my options to get myself off the naughty list that didn't involve me getting further down the list in the first place... Do I beg? Promise I'd be extra good next year? Buy him something extra special?? "Dear Santa, I can explain..."
Dragging myself out of my mind, and back into my apartment, I look at my adorable tree - from Junk Food - pulling my soft fluffy rainbow robe - from miss chelsea - tighter around myself, and sipped my rainbow mocha - from ChicChica...
I let my mind drift to more important things, maybe I'd ask Santa to help with more important things... Maybe a little Pride at Home - such a brilliant raising awareness event in SL that if other people paid a little more heed to, the world might be a better, happier, brighter like my Christmas lights kinda place...

Just a small glass...

I'm home after an icky few days of having to work in a shop designed for tourists in a city where there are no tourists... I have been struggling so hard to keep myself awake and away from becoming depressed... Getting home, I had some delicious dinner, and I felt like a glass of wine was necessary evil... 

I went to the wine cellar and decided to help myself to a glass of wine... A LARGE glass of wine... I had one poured and waiting on the bar for me, but then I spotted the bigger of the glasses - that was the one for me - a large wine glass from ChicChica... It takes a LOT of bottles to fill this glass... Wonder if I'll still be able to stand up when I drank it all?!

Making Daisy Chains

Since it's Spring now, and since the weather has been fairly nice to look out of the window at, I'm feeling in the mood to get out there and enjoy the early sunshine, smell the flowers and roam free... Thank heavens we have SL to do that in at the moment, right? So I'm in the mood to be a little girlie - some might say hippy-ish - and dance on the grasses, hide at The Getaway, and decorate myself with daisies... 

I've been covered in daisies like this before, probably about the same time last year if I'm being honest, but it's a look and a feeling that I LOVE! When I was little in RL I would always find myself making daisy chains and talking to them in the long grass as soon as the weather was right to be allowed to play outside! 
So aside from the daisies I've dotted through my Sunshower Lamb hair, I had to slip into a new "Beth" skirt from Mug which is decorated with little white flowers, AND I even got a little naughty and picked a bunch while I was dancing through them - thanks to the ChicChica Chamomile bunch available now at Bloom! 
Anyone want me to make them a daisy chain? 

What is she wearing;
Hair & Accessories: Lamb - Sunshower in Reds 
Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory 
Choker: [Buzzeri] - Daisy Choker in Natural 
Top: PSEUDO - Pepper Cardi in Gray (Available until April 22nd at Uber)

At The End

Yesterday was the grand opening of the Gators MC 6th Annual Halloween Maze, and although it was smaller than it has been in past years, we had a lot of fun and our guests seem to enjoy it too... The maze is open now until November 4th so if you're looking for something Halloween - or at least to get you in the mood for Halloween - then you won't want to miss our Freak show... 
The opening party may be over now but Rudh is still meeting and greeting... 

She has plenty of bloody drinks to share. The kind that are not for kids, but also not really fit for human consumption either... Monsters only is the warning, but hey you may like it, you never know if you don't try... These drinks are a ChicChica Holy Blood Cocktail Speciality. 
As the hostess of the party Rudh needed a pretty dress... She'd seen one on her many shopping trips and now had the perfect excuse to wear it. It's a new release from 1313 Mockingbird Lane for this month's Black Fair. It actually comes in two separate parts, the dress and the harnesses, which look great together or worn alone. Its the perfect dress for a party! It brings out her demonic side - or are those fresh wounds from her PSYCHO - PSYCHO.Byts - side?! 
Now can I get anyone something to drink? 

What is she wearing;
Hair: Navy + Copper - Biscotti (Available until October 7th at Hair Fair 2018 Blonde Sim)

A Cinderella Enchantment

There's magic in the air... Another round of Enchantment opens it's fairytale doors today, and I'm very excited as per usual. This is definitely one of my favourite events and each and every time it is announced I get like an overly excited child... 
This time the Enchanted Team are this time telling the story of a magical transformation, a story of being plucked from obscurity while allowing hopes and dreams to become a reality, and proving that anyone could become a princess if they really wanted to... The fairytale this time is that of Cinderella!

I LOVE the story of Cinderella, but mostly - like normal - it's the Disney version that always going to make me smile most. 
The witching hour is far away, but Cinderella's Fairy God Mother just waved her magic wand... Quick peep through the door of Lady Tremaine's House and take a peep before she climbs into the pumpkin coach and rides off to the ball... 
Her dress is a special creation from Petite Mort for the event, and the "Ella" dress comes in a selection of colours with that Cinderella twist. My Cinderella look was enhanced by a magical tiara from Swallow. Wrapped in a soft warm cape, borrowed from the Fairy God Mother - bought at JACKALOPE - this princess isn't wearing glass slippers but has princess heels on all the same, and she's about to climb into her Carriage - an amazing pose prop from Fashiowl Poses ... 
Let's hope she meets a handsome prince in time for Valentine's Day! 

What is she wearing;
Tiara: Swallow - Tiara in White

Make-Up and Hairstyling for a Princess

I'm still playing dress-up, though this time it might be less easy to see that hehe... This time I am thinking more of a princess than anything evil, but I am a princess that likes to take her time to get ready for her day's adventures. As in RL, this morning I can take my time waking up, drink some coffee at a leisurely pace and get myself all dolled up... 
I found a very pretty dress and although it wasn't my usual taste in things, I simply couldn't resist - hence why today I am a pretty princess hehe... It's also given me the chance to show you one of my favourite bits of my bedroom... 

The area in question is actually my vanity station, my make-up magic bench as I call the one I have in RL - not that I ever tend to wear a lot of make up in RL, I'm a bit too forgetful! Yet this vanity table is actually something that HellBone found for me and that I love. It's a HIDEKI Directors Chair, that has 4 different poses within and that I have thrown tons of adorable Make-Up themed products all over including brushes, creams, and lip balms... There are a few things for styling my many wigs, bright colours for my nails and even a friend to practice the look on - thank you BOOGERS hehe... 
Everything I need to transform myself into whatever it is that I want to be today... 
Right now I need pretty, I need sparkles, I need PRINCESS... 
The dress and shoes were what brought the look into the forefront of my mind, as it's not a pretty look I'd normally go for... I found the dress at the latest round of The Chapter Four from GizzA. It's called the Ribboned Ruffle Dress and it comes in a range of colours, normally I'd have gone for something dark but this smoky colour was just too gorgeous to pass up, and when I spotted the blue ribbon - that comes in the HUD provided - I had to wear these amazing ChicChica Princess shoes with it! It was a match made in Princess Heaven hehe... 
LOL my look of the day is Princess... If only I could get myself into a Disney Princess Happy mood feeling then I'd be great!
