Remembering Gunpowder Plots!

Tis November 5th, and for those of you that have no idea about the significance in British History I think perhaps I should share with you a little poem that I've known since I as at school... 

Remember, remember! 

The fifth of November, 

The Gunpowder treason and plot; 

I know of no reason 

Why the Gunpowder treason 

Should ever be forgot!

The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 was an attempt to blow up the British Houses of Parliament and kill the then King, James I of England. It is always remembered on November 5th with the burning of a Guy Faulkes - the man charged with guarding the gunpowder that was hung for his crimes - doll and a mass of fireworks.
I'm not really keen on fireworks - long story - so today I will remember the plot in a different way, sitting in a graveyard! 

Sometimes graveyards are the best place for remembrance right? I mean they are the last resting places of the dead souls of the bodies buried within. The graveyard at the Woodbury Falls location is very pretty, and a perfect place to remember the dead, even someone like Guy Faulkes deserves to be though of! 
Maybe they aren't the best places to discuss fashion, but what the hell I'm going to talk about my outfit while I'm here anyway! A dress complete with gloves - from Dead Dollz - and a pair of CandyDoll boots make up my outfit today. I have a wig styled by the awesome Wasabi Pills - which has become one of my new favourite hairstyles - and a pair of glasses that I can still just about see through and refuse to give up on because they are my Good Old Glasses from Izzie's which you can grab until the end of today at the last day of the Geeks'N'Nerds Fair! 
Now, let's have a moment of silence to remember the Guy while I dig around in my hoard to find some sparklers?! 

What is she wearing;
Hair: Wasabi Pills - Tsuki Hair in Reds 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2 
Glasses: Izzie's - Good Old Glasses (Available until November 5th at Geeks'N'Nerds Fair 2016) 
Outfit: Dead Dollz - Zoe Dress in Black 
Boots: CandyDoll - Arabella Boots in Black 

Decorating for a Geeky Game Night

FRIDAY! FRIDAY! FRIDAY! The day that the weekend officially starts is HERE!!! Still have to get through a 12 hour work day but HEY IT'S FRIDAY!!! Glad that this week is almost over, I mean it's not been a bad week as weeks go but still tomorrow is a day for laying in a little later and maybe doing something fun, like my favourite of weekend activities - rummaging through second hand stores looking for treasures!
Friday though should be all about fun, perhaps I will persuade the MC to have a Friday Night Game Night or something?! Games nights could be fun, I LOVE Cards Against Humanity - but that's because I'm a little depraved LOL - and although I was never into games like Dungeons and Dragons perhaps that might even be fun too?!

Now OK I have admitted that I have never played anything like Dungeons and Dragons BUT with the Geeks'N'Nerds Fair 2016 coming to a close tomorrow, there was just a little time left for me to creatively decorate the perfect geeky games room...
Now as I have warned you before I am really not so used to taking pictures of decor only, so bear with me on this but I think I did an OK job!
All of the items - the building aside - are available at the Geeks'N'Nerds Fair that closes tomorrow, so you still have a little time to get your geek or nerd on...
The game play table is part of the Games Master Set from Fiasco and it includes all the table, the chairs and the decor that litters the table top, with the exception of Winnie's Spellbook - from Violetility - that is being used as a reference guide! The computer and the desk it sits on are from [ht:home] and I added a few little touches of decoration to make things look pretty such as the HEXtraordinary lamp and the BoOgErS Herry Perter Action Beebles - that my RL sister saw and got super excited about because she is a freak for Harry Potter! Some geekish art from peaches on the walls and my gaming room was ready...
All I need now is some fizzy drinks - or sodas as non-Brits might say - in a cooler and some crisps - or chips again for the non-Brits hehe - and my Gaming party is ready... Anyone fancy a game?

What is she wearing;
Table & Chair: Fiasco - Game Master Set (Available until November 5th at Geeks'N'Nerds Fair 2016)

Exploring a Burtonesque World

Well last night was great, I'm not sure if you have seen it but I actually decided to share a little of my RL with you all last night and posted a picture that I took at a RL gig into my Flickr account. This morning though I am paying the price for that concert going addiction that I have because oh my gah I was suffering all night with terrible cramp in BOTH legs!
Still this morning, waking up with a cup of tea and some toast I feel a little bit like I was in a different world last night. The band that I went to see was a band called Lordi - I posted a picture of the lead singer on Flickr last night - and they are a little Monstrous! Demonic Zombies that play some great music and put on a fun show! So you will have to excuse me for feeling like I'm in another world right now!

OK the world that Rudh is in is far from Demonic, but this Burtonesque world is still just as awesome. You can find this Burtonesque location at my favourite photo location - WHOLE WHEAT - where I really think that Tim Burton would feel they have done him proud!
To fit with the location however, I needed something equally interesting to wear, and I got very lucky with this amazing outfit from Elegance Boutique - which I picked up the current round of Cosmopolitan. Luckily I was able to accessorise the bow of this Strange and Unusal Exile Hair to match!! It was like an outfit that was meant to be together... 
Together with my Familiar Cat - from PSYCHO.Byts for Hocus Pocus - I am ready to explore this strange new world, I just wish work wouldn't be so rude as to get in the way!! 

What is she wearing;
Hair: Exile - Strange and Unusual in Reds 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2 
Outfit: Elegance Boutique - Loren in Navy (Available until November 5th at Cosmopolitan) 
Pet: PSYCHO.Byts - Familiar Cat (Available until November 4th for Hocus Pocus) 
Ring: Noodles - Serpent Ring in Rose Gold
Pose: Vanity Poses - Henry 2 (Available until November 5th at Geeks'N'Nerds Fair 2016)

The Road to Nowhere

Every year I get so very excited about one event in particular that gets me oh-so-very excited. Last year I was a little disappointed in the theme - I felt it was a bit lacking and kinda less immersive than it had been in previous years, but this year was GREAT. 
I'm not sure how long it runs for but you should still have time, and if you have a spare 50L burning a hole in your pocket I promise you this isn't a waste of money... Go and check out the Pulse Games and Sn@tch event for this year - NOWHERE! 

Hinting on a theme that is one of my true phobias I was finding myself genuinely scared - luckily due to the fact that this has always been date night for me and my bestie I had not one but two knights in shining armour to protect me! 
I'm not going to go into too many details but the story starts as "You are a motorist who wakes up after a bad car accident on the side of an unknown highway. You do not remember who you are or why you are here. You must walk the dark highway to find help and find out who you are"- quoted from the information provided by the creation team -  and you're on the road to Nowhere!
My Halloween Costume this year seemed perfect for the story - I was dressed as a normal teenage girl, because well I'm usually a Dead Doll and teenage girls are scary! Maybe I shouldn't have been texting while driving?! 

What is she wearing; 
Hair: Besom - Sita in Reds 
Glasses: Vanity Poses - Opticals Biggie (Available until November 5th at Geeks'N'Nerds Fair 2016) 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2 
Jacket: Blueberry - Radiance Jacket in Stone 
Binder: {yumyums} - Closed School Binder in B&E (No Longer Available!)
Skirt: Asteria - Taylor Skirt in Black 
Boots: Reign - Thigh High Sneakers in Black 
Pose: Vanity Poses - Fiona 3 (Available until November 5th at Geeks'N'Nerds Fair 2016) 

Ghost Hunting on Halloween

Good Morning and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! My favourite day of the year is finally here and I'm very excited, I have some fun things planned in SL - as Dutch people don't really seem to get into the Halloween Spirit - and will no doubt be forced to watch something horrible on TV with HellBone LOL... It may end up being something a little more like this though...

It makes me laugh that on Halloween, I'm actually dressed pretty normally! On the one day of the year when it's encouraged to be dead and bloody looking, I'm dressed in jeans and a sweater LOL, I guess for me the blood and gore is less of a Halloween costume and more of something I really enjoy doing so on the day that it's expected I'm like "Nahhhhh, I'll have a cup of tea and watch a ghost hunting show on TV!"
This post today is kind of a twofer... I'm talking about Halloween and my RL plans, whilst actually being kinda cunning and sharing some awesome goodies from the Geeks'N'Nerds Fair with you! All of the ghost hunting equipment on display here is in fact a part of the Ghost Hunter Equipment Gacha collection at the event, from the brilliant store HopScotch! I got all geeked out as soon as I saw this set, and knew that I'd be doing some ghost hunting - it's kind of a fandom of mine I guess, if it can be counted as something that has a fandom to it?! I watch a lot of the different shows but my favourite has to be the Ghost Asylum with the Tennessee Wraith Chaser boys - maybe it's the cute Southern accents, or the fact that they are attempting to catch the ghosts, but I never miss an episode!
Wrapping up today's post with a little picture of the TWC boys I will be spending my Hallow's Eve with today, and I wish you all a Happy and Horrible Halloween!!!

Weapons of the Angels at Geeks'N'Nerds

As the Geeks'N'Nerds Fair is running, I have been thinking about fandoms... I will admit to you that I was a little concerned when I applied to join the blogging team for this event that it would end up being all Dr. Who, or Harry Potter or Game of Thrones, but I am actually happy to admit that it's not! There is something for everyone at this fair and I even found a few things that were perfect for some of my own geeky fandoms... 
I am a massive fan of Supernatural! With a penchant for Sam - Dean's nice but I dunno I just cant get enough of Sam LOL - I was more than a little excited by one of the things I found in the Violetility collection! 

I had to get my Supernatural Hunter on, and it's all because of the tiny little dagger that I hold in my hand... Some people may recognise it and have a moment so squealing like I did, for others that do not, Violetility have made an Angel Sword - the weapon of choice for the Winchesters when killing any Angel! 
I was soooooo excited I had to jump in my Metallicar - made by HellBone in his store Hogs & Cart Wheels - and drive around the roads on our sim having a Supernatural Moment LOL... I stopped after a while but had to snap a little picture, posing using one of the Vanity Pose Poses for the Geeks'N'Nerds Fair and with some of the Ghost Hunter Equipment - from HopScotch - I went on a hunt of my own... I just hope that I am brave enough to find whatever it is that it out there in the swamp! 
Where are the real Dean and Sam when I need them?! 

What is she wearing;
Hair: Magika - Five Minutes in 02

What No WiFi at Geeks'N'Nerds?!

So much horrible Halloweeny stuff going on that I am getting uber distracted by it, and forgetting the fact that there are other things in life which need to be remembered LOL... Geeks'N'Nerds Fair 2016 has started and oooooh there is some awesome stuff to be had this year. 
I was lucky enough to be accepted to the blogging team - was a surprise when it happened trust me - but there is just SO MUCH awesome stuff that I am not sure where to begin! So I decided for a little inspiration I'd head on into the event and take a look around... It looks brilliant, set in a space station environment - all futuristic and high tech looking - but what the heck... All that technology and a girl can't even get a WiFi signal?!!!

Hey, who am I kidding, who needs WiFi when you're already in SL right?! BUT that does lead me to a very good point which is that this is one of the poses from Fashiowl's Wifi Problems pose collection that is available at the Fair.
All of the items that I am wearing today at Geeks'N'Nerds Items... Released from some awesome designers. The top is part of an outfit from Moon Elixir that can be bought as separates for mixing and matching or wearing alone - called Maverick - it's a really cute set and I LOVE the top! Then I went a little kittenish with the accessories! An adorable USB Choker from katat0nik - that's a perfect item for a geek to carry around because well you never know when you will need one - in a Rare Kitty design, and some freaking cute Nerd Kitty Glasses - from 187 -  that have a HUD with so many different lense and bow colour options that it's hard to choose! 
Don't miss all these things and MANY more - there are a lot more posts coming from me I assure you - at the Geeks'N'Nerds Fair this year, and I promise you, you don't need to worry about WiFi troubles at the event...

The Geeks and Nerds are COMING!

I'm going to take a little break from the gory macabre today - don't sound too shocked it won't last long knowing me - because today is the opening of a HUGE event aimed at a special class of people... Some of the coolest people I know fit right into this culture of life... These are the people that were picked on in school and that now they are in adulthood shine like brilliant stars... In case you're wondering, I'm talking about the Geeks and the Nerds! 
Today is the official opening of this years Geeks'N'Nerds Fair, and at 12PM SLT, SL will be filled with just a little more geeky nerdy goodness! Before then I'm going to just chillax and take it easy - geeky style - because once it opens, I'm going to be shopping crazy... 

Now OK a few things to mention... Firstly YES I KNOW I'm rather scantily dressed for Geek Chic but ignore that because well, I'm not sure I could pull off true geek chic if I tried, and Secondly there won't be a URL given here for the event today. You will have to wait until my next post for that because I'm not going to risk the 'handing-out-a-SLURL-too-early gods'! 
However I do want to give you a little taste of what you can expect... So ignoring my look today, all the pretty furniture and décor that I have with me can be found at this years Fair! 
The sofa, made of Rubiks cubes - which I will be honest and admit still annoy me even to this day as I can never complete them - comes from the aptly named geeky sounding store [USB] - as does the Geek Picture on the wall! The amazing Perfect Fit Shelves - amazing because EVERYONE loves Tetris - are gacha items in the GET OUT OF MY ROOM collection from peaches, along with the Geek Sign, the Floppy Drive, and the We Pillows Three, and the cute little backpack is soon to be available in the La Baguette booth! 
Just a little taster, to get your little shopping demons all warmed up!! The event opens today at 12PM SLT, then ladies and gentlemen, it's time to get our Geeks and Nerds freak on!!!

OOOH Some SL DisneyBounding...

Time for some more dressing up, I can never have enough dressing up and everyone gets to benefit by looking at me, pointing and laughing.... This time I went Disneyfied again... Some might say it was another SL DisneyBounding look, and let's go with that lol...
I had a reason to dress up this time though. For the MC family we try to throw parties whenever someone is celebrating a Birthday. The weekend just gone, we did just that... On Friday, we threw a secret surprise Birthday Party for my sister - one of my besties  - Kara!
Kara LOVES all things Disney - she's a little like me in that LOL - but for months, she has been wandering around the sim singing songs from the Disney movie "Frozen"... I found it easy to work out what the theme of this party would be, it was easy to decorate, and easy to plan...
Less easy though to find a DisneyBounding look for me!

I don't think that I did too badly though right?! Can you tell which character I went with at least? LOL, I am Belle from Beauty and the Beast - a Rudhish version but that's what DisneyBounding was all about, making a character look your own.

I knew what I would be as soon as I saw this adorable dress from Noodles, which you can pick up at the Geeks 'N' Nerds Fair. The dress is available in a 5 different Star Wars Designs, and 3 other different Disney Princesses, but I always loved Beauty and the Beast... Talking household objects, what's not to love about it hehe...

It was only after I had found the dress that I remembered a specific hair from a past Arcade line-up from the store Olive... I tried to find it in a few yardsales, but was at a loss, I couldn't find it anywhere until I noticed my "supergachayardsaleitemfinder" friend, who can and as she proved does find anything you want!

To finish my look, I wanted a necklace that was a subtle hint to the movie, and after about an hour of searching through what seemed like a gajillion necklaces, I remembered this adorable Chained Rose Collar I had from the [Forge]... PERFECTION!

Oh and for the library, if you're able to go to Adult locations, check out Shhh!! "After Dark"... It seems like such a naughty and decadent place...

To get Kara to the party though, I had to run with a little bit of a lie hehe... I told her I was buying her an outfit to look like Elsa - which I did - and that the soul purpose of this outfit was for a photoshoot! I bought her Catwa Hair, a Dirty Princess dress and even poses from Exposeur so that she would feel like it was a real photo shoot... No harm in sharing one of the photos here is there? LOL... I think she sensed the party was coming but she seemed to enjoy herself, and at the same time I got to create not just one but two awesome SL DisneyBounding looks.

What is she wearing;
Rudh:
Hair: Olive - The Beauty Hair in Brown Puppy (Past Gacha Item)
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Available now at Collabor88)

Dias Muertos, Monster High's Newest Student!

Horror Haute, Horror Haute, my favourite time of the month is here YAY!!!! 
The theme for this month, if my last post didn't give it away any is Day of the Dead, or Dia De Los Muertos, which is going to mean bright colours, flowers and lots of happy Rudh hehe... If you want a small dosage of colour in your life then you shouldn't miss a little trip to the Horror Haute Skybox this month...
My first dose of Horror for November, got me singing the Monster High theme tune in my head again... I swear if these dollies had been out when I was a kid, it would have been a case of "Barbie Who?" I seem to take every opportunity to make myself look like I fit right in at the school!!! 

Let's start with the easiest but also the one item that is not available at Horror Haute... The outfit I am wearing is a brand new School Daze Outfit from yumyums - that you can grab yourself from the new Geeks & Nerds Fair that started today. This outfit is pure and simply put, AMAZEBALLS... There are so many different textures you can grab yourself, including some that look like you're a walking ice cream - watch this space that WILL be coming your way - but for the look I had in mind, a simple school uniform style worked best! 
I added a hair bow and bow tie, in a matching colour of course, from Laudanum Lollipops for this month's Horror Haute - Yes back on the subject of Horror Haute again already - and finished the look up with a pair of adorable Day of the Dead Stockings from Seddy's Creations. 
Although for me, the thing that most makes this outfit perfect for a day at Monster High School, is the skin! I fell in love with this skin the moment I put it on... It's a Stargazer Creations "Dias Muertos" Skin and I chose the Sky colour, but there are so many colours to choose from... Don't miss out on these! 
Time to sing you out with the school's theme song... I can't believe I am about to link this right now... It's so cheesy LOL...
