Roses on the Royal Grave

As always with me you can NEVER tell me which type of mood I'll be in when I start to plan out something for a blog post of the day. I love the fact that I can just open my wardrobe, see what is new to play with and then just see where an item that I picked out will take me... 
Today was a dark and sad and depressed kinda mood today and the result was something partially medieval princess, partially gothic funeral... 

After the death of the king, his undead princess bride was only able to briefly attend his burial before the people of the town started arriving to pay their respects with the rising of the sun... 
She's still bleeding through her pearls from the last bite he ever took, and she hides her face and hair under the trappings of a Solemn Bride - from Static - but just before the sun rises she takes one last rose and casts it into the open grave as the Gravediggers - which is actually the name of the backdrop from FOXCITY - start to bury him in the eternal darkness... 
On a side note, aside from the story I was creating in my head as I set out this blog post, I HAVE to make a little point of sharing this gorgeous Nightshade tube style dress with you... It's part of an outfit from Psycho Barbie, that is available at the main store, with a fluffy off the shoulder cardigan/jacket also being available!!! The patterns and colours are fab, perfect for hot goth girl summer!!!!

Tempestuous Tides for Mermonsters and Tentacled Beings

My mind is in turmoil, I am tired and distracted and keep doing things that cause myself harm... Nothing is super bad but I cut myself whilst making dinner tonight and I cried about it far too much... 
As is usual in times like this, when my brain is breaking I find myself disappearing into a prettier and happier part of my mind, somewhere a little more fantastical... The seas may be Tempestuous, but the rough seas should be the worst of my problems... 

The tempestuous nature of the seas are only exciting the tentacled beasts below the depths... They make Tentacle Hearts - like those from Krescendo - at the lovely merfolk that swim alongside them... 
This little mermonster knows that she's well protected by the tentacles from the deep, and her Alien Astral - which is actually the name of the head and skin from BeSpoke - aura will assist them in their hunt for pirates, and the protect her from the very pirates that want to steal her tears...

Piggin' Pumpkin Coffee!

September is almost coming to an end and as I've said before I've been busy planning, sorting and tidying in RL and seem to have so much more to do... February life will change for a little while, but until then I'm going to just carry on and get things done to prepare for that, so I'm sorry in advance if things change and it gets a little chaotic in here... 
SL is busy too... Halloween month is literally just around the corner and although it's exciting, there is a lot that needs to be done for it... Been busy today setting up the Pumpkin Farm in the back field of the garden... I think though it's time for a rest and a coffee break, is that allowed?! 

As I sat down in the long grass, listening to the leaves rustling in the trees as they fall... I left the tractor with the pumpkins still to be harvested and set up my little camping kettle. Being the boujee little dead girl I am, I had the choice of coffee flavours today, a little Pumpkin Spice, some Butter Pecan or Frosted Cinnamon Roll, all from that Junkin Coffee Brand - by Junk Food - and to make it just a little sweeter a little Maple Pecan Prim Mate - also from Junk Food - for that creaminess that makes a sweet coffee more like candy or milkshake than coffee... With a little Cinnamon Roll from the Cinnamazing Delivery - from MOVEMENT - it was the perfect time for a little break... 
Apparently it wasn't even just me that thought so... Some of the Wildest Piggies - from MishMish, available until October 10th at Kustom9 - I have ever met could smell the coffee and came out of hiding... I wonder if they'd like to join me in a cinnamon roll?!

A Hangry Panda!

What do you do when you cannot plan on what you want to do for dinner? I torture myself every night with this question, and I KNOW it's hard when you are on your own but it feels just as hard when your partner says "I don't know, surprise me?" That answer makes me want to slap him... 
Try as hard as I might to be good and plan to cook something, or get the hubby to cook something since he seems to enjoy cooking, sometimes I cannot be arsed, and pull up the delivery app... Pizza, Ribs, Curry, Sushi, all of those things are delicious, but a Chinese meal seems to hit different...

I mean I LOVE SUSHI or a Curry, but noodles always seem to hit better when they are cooked at the take-away... Things are different here in Holland than they are in the UK, and when I go home next week I am hoping I'll get my hands on some sweet and sour chicken balls LOL, but until then I'm biding my time and just dreaming of Chinese food...

I ain't afraid of no Ghosts...

So yesterday I was thinking a lot about Wonderland, I cannot tell you really what sparked that thought pattern but last night to distract the hubby we watched Pirates of the Caribbean and tonight it's movie night again... I'm not that much of movie buff - Lord of the Rings excluded, I could talk about that all day - but there are times when the right movie can be a good thing... They set the mood, they like my blog can take me away to another place and they bring stories to life that many may never think of... 
Now I'm going to show my age here, I'm a child of the 80s and proud of it, but do you remember when 3D movies first became a thing?! It was an insane experience... 

The first time I saw a 3D movie it was a shock... I think the first time I saw a 3D movie was the Muppets 3d in Disneyland, and I can honestly say as much as the film was fun it set my motion sickness off something terrible and I was more than a little put off from seeing things in 3D again... 
It was crazy to me how a movie brought someone's imagination to life in moving pictures but also that those moving pictures could leave a screen and be right up in your face like they could touch you... It was a bizarre feeling, one that still makes me surprised to this day... Even though now days it's less abnormal andif you try and tell youngans about it they look at you iek you have two heads, with stories of different coloured glasses!!! 
Anyway it's movie time... HellBone plans to scare me a little with a few Ghostbusters...

A Day on the Beach!

The Summer has officially seemed to arrive in the Netherlands over the past few days... I'm not a fan of the Summer, especially here... When you're on holiday and it's a warm, dry heat then it feels wonderful on your skin, but here in the Netherlands it's HUMID and becomes like a sweat box the moment you walk out the door... I hate it when it seems to get trapped inside the house... I NEED to get out and find somewhere to breathe... 

I love being out in Nature, I LOVE the cooling breeze and the feeling of natural sunlight, although like a vampire I tend to keep to the shadows the vast majority of the time... I wouldn't mind being on the beach right now though. I would love to spend the day darting in and out of the waves, playing with a bucket and spade o build sandcastles or use them for holding onto other things - like the one Rudh has full of drinks like the Beach Drinker bucket, available now from Dots at Kustom9, or the Castle Toy Bucket, from Krescendo currently available at the Amsterdam Event - while I hide in the shade...

A Sunday Easter Egg Hunt

Today is Easter Sunday, and the world and it's cousin seem to be getting themselves into the Easter Bunny Spirit... There are Easter Eggs to be collected, eaten and some even like to paint them, there have been many other things going on too since today is actually 4:20... People aren't just enjoying the chocolate... There's another herb making people happy as they hunt for eggs too...

I am not the herb loving kind, if anything I'll be willing to admit that it makes me feel kinda sick, butI DO love me some chocolate, and I LOVE me some sunshine and so skipping around like I'm the Easter Bunny in a garden was bound to happen today... I'm joining the myriad of other bunnies as they spread a little happiness...

Helping the Pets to Grow

Today was a goddamn nightmare... I HAD SO MANY PLANS and each of these were foiled because I am someone in charge at the place I work in, and my boss is sick and so I had to go in at short notice to cover the opening of the location... I had plans to clean-up, plans to get things blogged, plans to try and finish my book... Cleaning will have to wait though, now that I'm home... I'm going to do something to cheer me up... 

It was a gray and misty morning this morning, a fog hung over the park as I was on my way and the people in the allotments were no where to be seen until the sun came up. 
This is the time that the allotments are alive with a different kind of folk, the gardeners are sleeping but the fairies are out in force ready to help the plants grow big and strong. It's Spring after all, and for some it's the busiest time of the year... 
There was a sparkle to be seen in the fog this morning, down by the potato patch where the spuds are beginning to grow. A children's toy has been left abandoned at hometime but from the look of the writing on the lid, it's the home for a Pet Potato - a collection from Junk Food - something that seems like a child may be looking forward to, when the time is right for harvest... The Fairies are eager to help, this one was caught with her Fancy Frog - from Aardvark - friend, giving them a talking to so that they'd grow faster meaning the child got it's pet sooner...

Rats in the Tunnels

April is here, Spring has officially started to spring, and there's something weird going on in Amsterdam where the people are causing dangerous chaos. In the last week there have been two major incidents and things are getting a little scary even in the middle of the day now... Things are changing, we seem to be heading down a bad road, maybe it's towards war, maybe the apocalypse is coming, whatever happens it doesn't feel like it's going to be good? 
Of course, when I think of the Apocalypse, my mind wonders and the fantasy begins... People evolve, situations change and because my mind drifted... I'm slipping into a fantasy world... 

For some reason when I thought about the Apocalypse and a character that would fit with theme of what was going through my mind, Rudh seemed to devolve from her human state to become a human Rat Klaws - coming from the BeSpoke Rat Klaws release for the March/April round of The Warehouse - a leader of the people that live within the Tunnem - a Paleto backdrop - underground... She gets all of the information she needs from her friendly rats, daring through the tunnels on her buggy...

Magic at the Zaanse Schans

Since Spring is feeling like it is officially here, that means the high season in a touristic sense is coming to the Netherlands and when you work in tourism like I do, that means things are about to get CRAZY!! 
I live close to Amsterdam in a town call Zaandam, which technically is in the Amsterdam suburbs... It's famous for two things, one is the hotel that looks like a Lego construction of different houses all over each other, and the other is the Zaanse Schans... 

When I started seeing pictures people were sharing, taken at a SL Zaanse Schans, I HAD to get myself over there... It is gorgeous... Close to real-life although there are a lot less tulip fields and it seemed a lot less visitors... In the High Season the Zaanse Schans becomes a crazy place, where the tourists are bussed in by the coach-load... 
There seems to be a little more magic in Second Life as per usual... Rudh excitedly gathered her dead dollish self a large bunch of pinkish red tulips... She looked up and caught sight of something moving around the flowers... A Tulip Fairy was tending to her friends...

Time for a Little Detecting...

Is it just me, or is it crazy that we're already at the end of February?! I mean I know that it's a short month, but seriously WHAT THE HELL, how can we already be about to enter our third month and therefore ending our first quarter of the year... It's serously getting to the point of blink and you miss it... 

It's time we opened up our eyes and did some thorough investigating into where the hell the year has gone? There has been so much going on this year that things are whizzing by faster and faster... I think I'd make a great detective, I mean I've watched enough of those cheesy detective shows. I think though I'd be a little more Murder She Wrote/Miss Marple than some CSI/Law & Order style detective... I don't think I could handle the true danger of being a cop in a big city, I'm way too mucch of a wuss... I'd also have to leave my cute puppy friend at home...

Magically Bird Brained

It is time... Finally it is time... I AM ON VACATION!!!! I have a few days in the Netherlands to get some stuff done but on Wednesday I leave and I'm travelling to see my parents again... For now though I feel a little magical, though that could be the crazy busy day I've had and all of the cold medicine, but let's just go with the magic... 

There are still many magical beings in SL, visiting whilst the Midnight Order is still in town. It's here for a few days longer yet, but they are beginning to prepare for a trip to another time and place... 
The mistress of crows is waiting in the clock tower for the Glassed Crow - which grows within the mind of it's mistress and is actually a release from Tardfish - is getting excited... Some might call her bird brained, but when he's excited something magical is about to happen...

A Parade on the Slopes

Something a little crazy to get myself into that snowy, Winter spirit today since I've got Christmas on overload and finally feel like I want something a little different... I couldn't go too far away from the snow, I couldn't wander too far from that crisp Winter atmosphere... Something fun to let off a little steam... 

On my way out for coffee, I spotted a sign to the Alpine Drifts and Frosty Friends Ski Resort... You could hardly miss the place what with all the Frosty Penguins - part of a release of Frosty Friends from Krescendo at Anthology until December 17th - dotted about... I simply had to take a peek, so after stopping for some coffee to go, I nipped into the lodge and borrowed a set of skis... Seems like I wasn't the only one on the slopes today, there was a Cozy Penguin Parade - from Aardvark, available until December 22nd at UBER - bouncing down the slopes on their bellies, although it seemed like a few had to take a peek at my coffee and snuggle into some of the scarves that had been left by skiers past...

Meeting the Residents

I've had a particularly difficult day, I feel like sometimes customers are lovely and others they treat you like you're way below them and you aren't very important at all... If I could get away with it, I'd want to say "Excuse me, if you don't talk to me like I'm a normal human being then I'm done feeding you cheese"... Please remember that people working in retail, are people too... 
I came home from work today and had to stop off to get myself something for dinner... I had convinced myself I wanted something healthy... That turned into a pack of cheesy bullcrap... 

That didn't happen, Hell wanted a take-away and a curry was what he had in mind... Not that I was complaining, although Rudh had picked up healthy things in her Groceries bag, and even stopped to pet the neighbours dogs as she waited by the elevators...

Make New Friends

It's already nearing the end of November and that means before very long Christmas will start and things will go bonkers... I have so much to do, I want to get myself some new Christmas decorations and may even go out into nature and collect some wild winter foliage for decor... I'll head out into the wild and make a day of it... 

I'd made myself a little camp on the edge of the woods, just over the bridge in the Snowfall Crossing - a backdrop by Synnergy.Tavis - and after spending a few hours collecting foliage to use as decor, I curled up in a pile of blankets on rugs laid in the snow to hide away for a tea break... 
While I was making the tea, I must have passed out a little, when I woke up I had some new friends that had decided my camp looked like a nice warm plae for a nap... Fox Friends came for pets, and Lil Bear Cubs were making themselves at home - both of these sets of animals are from Aardvark, the bears are currently available at TMD and the foxes are at the current round of ACCESS - whilst the cute little bunnies took over my scarf...

The Crazy Circus

I got through most of Halloween this year with very few clowns and although my Sammy Winchester hates them, there seems to be so many in my mind - and surrounding me in RL for that matter - so today when I'm having my mind off work and onto crazy boring things but as my mind was racing I ended up being surrounded by the clowns in my own personal crazy circus... 

The Crazy Circus is pouring straight out of my overly tired mind today, it's like someone has peeled back my scalp and the monster within is the ringmaster in my own personal crazy place... The clock is ticking until we can use that brilliant phrase once uttered by someone a little bit beetlejuicy - and a reason that I'm looking a little rotten tonight whilst still wearing my amazing new Suddenly Cardigan from my newest sponsor Garmonbozia at the current round of FaMESHed - for now I'm checking on the Unicorn Balloon Skele - the October group gift from Aardvark - in her cage and getting more than a little frustrated that one of those crazy idiot clowns left the gate open and released the Chained Up Buns - a new release from Tardfish for this month's Anthem... Wrangling bunnies was not what I had in mind...

Shhh... She's Sleeping!

 It's Halloween Eve, the night before the night of the darkest magic and creepiest events of the year... 
I've had a busy day, but tomorrow is my day off and I'm going to spend it witching it up... Letting myself enjoy the darkness... 
Rudh has been busy getting herself ready to enjoy the Halloween festivities, and looking for the perfect Halloween costume...

The biggest problem that she has every year is because she's spent so much time playing dress-up all month, that by the time she gets to Halloween she has NO IDEA what to dress up as... 
Her and her little friends - all of which happen to be dolls from Garbaggio - spent today planning costumes to be characters from Silent Hill... Rudh and her manly friend Pyralis even had a costume clash, which meant that even though her fabuluous Butcher Set - from Faunus - was better and very awesome, she needed to find something else and fast!!!

Outfit (Including Weapon & Mask): [Faunus] - Butcher Set

The Mourning Moth and her Pets

I felt like it was time for a little dark magic... Halloween is getting closer and closer, and so far the magic has barely been grey let alone dark... I think the Halloween spirits are beginning to get a little twitchy... 
There are spirits stirring in the deepest parts of the darkest forest... Monsters are getting restless and beginning to crawl out of the darkness... 

In the forest it feels like you are being Watched - a backdrop from The Bearded Guy - yet it is not the eyes you need to watch out for. The dark Mourning Moth - a release from Faunus that is still available until October 24th at Kawaii Secrets - is lurking, her dark magic having lured the Arachnid Belle - a gorgeous outfit created by the amazing Eliavah in a brilliant collaboration with everfaery for this month's Kustom9 - to create her a magical outfit made with dark magic in mind... 
She and her wonderful pets, the pack of Paimon - a pose prop included with the pose set from Fashiowl - and the large black Forest Spirit - from Tardfish - are preparing their arrival... It is time for more black magic...

Pumpkins and Apples

It's nearly the end of September. We have just a few more days to slip into the Autumn and all it's goodness before the spooky season begins. I have much to get done, including organisation for the Halloween event, but before I get into all that, I have to make a quick trip to the local pumpkin farm to pick out the perfect, must-have, Fall accessory... 

Autumn and it's seasonal spookies are my favourite time of the year, I love the glittering lights of Christmas but Halloween will always be my favourite of the holidays... 
I pulled on a comfy farm-hand style outfits, I find that dungarees are always good for stomping around in the pumpkin patch... Today though at the Pumpkin Patch, I not only got to choose a few gorgeous pumpkins to decorate my home and garden, but I made some new little Pumpkin Pals - a cute puppy release from Aardvark available until October 8th at ACCESS - AND even found the most delicious Caramel Apples with a crunch and sweetness that made me a very happy girl...

A Little Green Magic!

What is a girl to do with herself when that vacation feeling hits... Some people like to travel, others like to do crafts, I personally love to get lost in a good book more than usual, but there are others that LOVE to garden... I'm never going to be a good gardener, I've not got greenfingers or thumbs and even though it seems to be something all my family are good at, I'm not even able to keep a cactus alive... 
I'll stick to gardening in Second Life, it seems a little easier and if my fingers and thumbs don't work then there is penty of magic to aid my desire to grow... 

I will say though that even in Second Life I have problems when I'm growing things... HellBone is in charge of our beautiful garden and although I pretend the vegetable plot is mine, we all know he's the one in charge of it. When I attempt to grow things, using a little magical touch to get things to sprout, there is always an issue or two.. Carnivorous plants, bulbous plants, plants that inspire magic and even the Honey Bees are a little bit Bunny-like - but they are such a gorgeous cute little pair from YOKAI at Collabor88 - can be found in the Greenhouse - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis...
