It's ALIVEEEEEEE!!!

Just as I'm on the verge of being able to go back to work in the cheese shop - something I've been waiting MONTHS to be allowed to do now - it seems like everyone around me is getting a cold... I'm crossing my fingers and praying to any God that may hear me, that I won't catch anything. I WANT TO GO BACK TO WORK NOW!!
Since I'm avoiding it in RL though, perhaps it will work like the chicken pox in RL, I'll get Rudh to catch it in SL, and then maybe it won't be so bad if I do? Rudh seemed to have picked up the cold pretty quickly, I wonder if it had anything to do with the fact she's been exploring the magical places of SL recently... 

In these magical places, she's gone and caught herself a cold... The works hit her hard, her nose is running, her eyes are watering and she's full of phlegm. Blowing her nose into a tissue, for some reason she decided to actually look at what her nose had created... Still looking like a terrible mess, her nose blowing bubbles in her boogers - thanks to the Stuffy Nose Set from KitCat - and maybe it was a mistake, a disgusting snotty mistake... 
In the tissue, when she looked, there was the biggest snot pile she'd ever seen in her life. Then the shock got bigger, it started to move! The "Smol Sludgie" Snot Monster came to life in her tissue... 
As a little side note, the Smol Sludgies or their bigger Sentient Sludge counterparts are available from Quills & Curiosities until June 2nd at Dreadmorne Township, they come with a colour-change HUD so you can have sludge in multiple colours... YAY!!!

Break His Stuff

The day after Valentines day... So many people are basking in the romance still, especially since the hearts and flowers day landed on a weekend! Yet there are some of us that just feel like we wanna break stuff... Nothing important, for me, his car will do... 

There are many reasons why breaking things the day after Valentines could seem like a good idea... Him not getting you the gift you want, him not giving you the sex you needed, or - as in my case - him just not being there the day you see so many people getting spoiled by their partners... There are lots of good reasons LOL... 
So - with the help of an awesome new pose from Image Essentials for Sinners & Saints - I beat the crap out of HellBone's car! The windshield was just the beginning... You should have seen it when I was finished! It was art I tell you!

Love even burns in dark places like Necrosis

This week is Valentines Week... The day that's been commercialized as a day we're meant to show love is coming this Friday. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I LOVE LOVE but don't think it should be limited to something that we share one day a year! If you love something or someone then SAY IT! 
That having been said though, it's something that you cannot seem to avoid at this time of year, EVERYWHERE is full of hearts and flowers - even the places that are dark and depraved... Places like Necrosis, and even allowing the dark lovers to share their love, in their own twisted ways... 

By February 14th, the current round of Necrosis will be coming to a close. There are so many goodies that I've yet to share though, I feel like time is running out to spread the love before the little cupids get there and get all the fun! 
Today's dip into the Necrosis box saw me pull out a little of the dark glamour. Something that could easily make a perfect date night look for those with the dark in mind... I was drawn to aspects of this outfit like a moth to a flame... The Little Bat Love Carvings on my chest and the Misschevious release which shows "Every Rose Has A Thorn" my own face being the thorn of course, pulled me to them with such force that I was powerless to stop it! Then as if by a little dark valentine magic, the rest of my outfit simply fell into place... An Arabella Lace Top - from Infernal Alchemy - seemed to work wonders, almost a perfect match, with an old pair of N-Core Heels I had and when topped with a messy updo... PERFECT VALENTINES LOOK... Just a shame I have no where to go, and no need to dress all pretty!

Hair: TRUTH - Eternity (Past Group Gift)

Dropped the F-Bomb

I've been told that sometimes I swear like a Sailor. I have no problem cussing, and will shout the words from the rooftops if I have to. I LOVE to be able to cuss, it's such a good way of releasing tension and it gives me cause for giggles sometimes - especially when my RL father tries to tell me off for it, when I'm 33 - but there are times when you really wanna cuss but can't due to the surroundings or situations... It's so hard not to drop an F-BOMB!

I'm having one of those times a lot at the moment, everywhere you go in SL all the events and shopping are geared towards hearts and flowers, romance and couples... Now I know I'm in a couple, but we're NOTHING like Valentines romance... So I'm about ready to drop an F-Bomb - it won't stop me shopping, I'm still spending lots on pretties, but yeah... It's F-BOMB time!
Luckily, at the upcoming round of EBento, Kay Weston of Image Essentials has come to the rescue. She's created a couple of poses - male and female versions - so that we can do just that, drop the F-Bomb I mean! 
Now OK, granted she is wearing hearts too... They cannot be avoided, but the MuggleBorn MiniBikini can be textured into lots of different colours and even has some adorable patterns. I had to go a little hearty, just before I dropped the F-Bomb! 

What is she wearing;
Hair: Olive - the Melody V2 Hair

Face Wound: SongBird - Lovesick (No Longer Available!)

It was ALMOST Gone with the Wind...

Today is HellBone's RL Birthday, but it's been a cold, wet and blustery day here in the Netherlands, so it's been kinda nice having a lazy day at home chillaxing - and of course being a slave to his every command LOL - but the windy weather made me feel like doing something a little breezy in SL too, without the cold wind and rain... Hence why I found myself exploring a very pretty beach at Gentle Breezes and almost losing my scarf in the wind as I explored! 

As I walked up the hill the wind was rolling off it towards the sea, and it was there that I almost lost my scarf to the elements... Luckily I had a tight hold on it, or it would have definitely gone with the wind... The pose is actually a release from Image Essentials called "Breezy" and this is one of 5 awesome poses that come with scarf props so you too can almost lose your scarf to the wind hehe... 
I guess you might call the rest of my outfit a Look-of-the-Day though, since it's just a really cute outfit that I happened to be wearing... I LOVE this dress from Decoy called "Emmalyn" - which is available now at Uber - and it's so versatile, it looks adorable with heels and with boots that are perfect for climbing hills hehe... 

What is she wearing;
Hair: Pink Hustler - Disordered Hair II Gacha Item in #4 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2 
Dress: Decoy - Emmalyn Dress in Plain (Available until February 22nd at Uber) 
Shoes: #EMPIRE - Edelweiss 
Pose & Prop: Image Essentials - Breezy, Pose 5 Mirror 

Surviving Hell - Australian Bushfire Wildlife Benefit

A couple of days ago I posted a rambling about the Australian Bushfires Wildlife Benefit which is set to take place over the Australia Day weekend. Plans were being set in motion for a grand event called "Surviving Hell - Australian Bushfire Wildlife Benefit" in which Kay Weston - of Image Essentials -  and Ally Dwyer Applewhyte - of Something New - were getting the ball rolling seeking support for the fundraiser! 
Well, today is the BIG day... The HUGE event that is Surviving Hell - Australian Bushfire Wildlife Benefit will start today, and it's going to be amazing! Congrats to Kay and Ally for organizing something that should - I say should to be optimistic, WILL is more likely - raise funds and awareness in support for the RSPCA to provide care to so many of the injured animals that were caught in the Australian Bushfires... 

My Thirsty Kangaroo friend and I - he's a pose prop from Image Essentials by the way, that will see 100% of sales donated to the Australian Bushfire Wildlife Benefit - are here to share all the details because trust me, aside from the good feeling of being able to donate to the cause, you WON'T want to miss this event!!!

One of these prizes is a YEAR LONG ACCESS to the FaMESHed Blogger Group with early access for 2 friends for an entire year! Who wouldn't wanna win a prize like that?! I know I cannot wait to enter, that sounds totally amazing! 
I told you it was going to be EPIC, but wait as if that wasn't enough there will also be the events taking place on the performance sim - as a side note, there will be a full set of vendors and some of the raffles taking place at the performance sim too! There will be 19 live singers taking part on the performance sim over Saturday and Sunday, and there is something for everyone - all kinds of styles and tastes are being catered for, with some amazing singers performing and sharing their talents to raise awareness and funds for the event!

Australian Wildlife Needs Your Help...

I don't normally discuss much RL world events in my rambling space, mostly because I like to keep things light hearted and happy, but the situation in Australia has had me gripped for weeks now. The fires that keep on burning - although luckily it seems that the rains are starting to fall and life is beginning to spring back into some areas - causing so much destruction is heartbreaking. 
I feel for the people that are being caught up in the affected areas, but the heartbreaking feeling is definitely coming more from the chaos, devastation and loss of the wildlife, in a country that was always so protective of it's indigenous species! It's been estimated that a billion animals have lost their lives - although the exact figure is not known - and Koalas have even entered the danger list for animals that may go extinct! I'm devastated!! I've always wanted to see - and hug - a koala... We need to do anything we can to help stop this from happening! 

So when I heard that a team of Aussies - lead in part by the amazing Kay Weston of Image Essentials - in SL are putting together a fundraiser, I felt compelled to help spread the word! 
Currently designers are being sought that would be willing to join the fundraiser! Designers can participate in a number of ways ranging from donation kiosks in stores to donating items for a raffle and even setting up an event booth with items for sale to raise funds for the cause! All donations made during this event will given to the RSPCA - https://bushfires.rspca.org.au/ - to continue to respond to emergencies and help them assist animals and communities in need.
The events will take place over the Australia Day weekend, when there will be music festivities, shopping and lots of donations - I hope - made to save some animals that are very much in need!!!

We're back home after a lovely vacation and it's so good to be home. I can get back to normal feeling much better after a break at home and it's revived me more than a little. I feel like a whole new me!
Back and ready to rock, that's me... 

As I stepped off the train at the Missing Melody Junction, I grabbed my adorable bag, tucking the brolly in to make it easy to carry - thanks to this adorable black Fall Bag from Tentacio - I looked adorably Autumn/Winter cute...

Hands of Fear

When something preys on your fears it can be both a nightmare and an exhilaration... You feel the fear build but so does the anticipation and the heightened sense of awareness, and then suddenly the moment of shock happens and it's like a lightning bolt goes through you!

Today the fear took over as she was gripped by a Wall of Hands - thanks to a pose from Image Essentials at eBento - she was only posing against a wall in the strange light at the end of the day, modelling her Realm lingerie set - from MuggleBorn - and the adorable little Spoop Nipple Clamps -from Ama - then the hands appeared and scared her rigid!

The Demonic Girl in her Naughty Room

So I felt like doing something a little cute and girlie, but with touches of Halloween. Since Halloween is a time for dress up, and it's also a time for cute girls to start dressing like a bit of a slut without repercussion, then today it's just what I'm going to do. I'm going to be a demonic whore hehe... Dancing around in my bedroom, listening to girlie metal music and dead heading the roses from spurned lovers... 

I was inspired with this picture when I saw the awesome new gacha releases from LEMME - available at equal 10 now - by a song from Motionless in White called "Eternally Yours". There's some neon pinkness going on in the video, hence why everything in my room is now neon pink in colour hehe... With a few decor touches from Inner Demons and Half-Deer, and furniture from Violetility and Neverwish.

Rollin' with the Dogs

A day of chores, as best I can, since I'm not allowed to do too much just yet, can be a bit of a bore... I always have to have some loud happy music to dance around to - though as I found out dancing can cause a little pain at the moment - and I'm lucky that I have my fur babies here to talk to as I do it... I'm a little like Cinderella talking to the mice, only my mice are my dog and cat LOL... 
There is one chore that I love to do... Taking my Doggy for a walk in the sunshine is always fun!

I'm having to be a little careful while I do it though, so I came up with a brainwave of an idea... While trying on new things that I'd bought recently, I re-discovered these amazing Jessie Rollerskates from N-Core, and well, while I'm healing and can't do too much strenuous stuff, why walk when I can roll?! 
That in itself could be a little bit of a dangerous idea, you never know when I will wipe out, and I KNOW ME, I will wipe out LOL... Let's just pretend I like to live dangerously LOL...

The Call of the Water Goddess

A while ago, due to the extreme heat wave that was happening in my little part of the world, the Goddess of Life made an emergency call out to her sister. The celestial call took a while to reach the Goddess of Water in the dark caves under the mountains of the Lost Unicorn, but once it did it took a mere matter of moments until the skies opened up and rain began to rain.. Slowly at first and the torrential downpours to soak the parched earth, while the Goddess of Water whipped up the water within the cave to a frenzy! 

This is another one of those outfits that I was in love with the moment that I saw it, but due to the CURELESS release draining my wallet it took me a little longer to get my hands on it... It's such a pretty outfit for those of us out there that love fantasy fashion.
It's a gorgeous gacha collection from Moon Amore called Liquid Soul, and it was or could be is still available at The Epiphany, although I cannot be sure if it's WAS or IS since I cannot find a closing date anywhere!

Shopping for New Jeans!

Lazy Sunday today, I LOVE having days when I can lay back and just relax... Though today it's a day for some shopping. It's something I HAVE to do... I have a really big need for some brand new jeans since I ripped my favourite new pair!!

I ripped my new RKKN Ivy Jeans and now they are gaping at the butt meaning that everyone can see and I have to wear panties all the time! For a girl that never wears panties, it's weird!
Pulling out my laptop, I'm going to lay in the comfort of my home office - yes you get a little glimpse into my little Second Life home...

Yes... I am a Crazy Cat Lady!

I LOVE Lazy Sundays, the only thing wrong with them is that it means tomorrow is Monday and the start of another working week! Dun Dun Dunnnnnnn... 
I'm spending the day relaxing and reading a book, and playing with my RL Furbabies... This left Rudh to her own devices too, but then she like me has similar hobbies and spent most of the day pampering her fur babies! Though when she does it, she looks glamorous, a little like a Lady of the Manor! 

The lady of the manor look was actually all started because of the most amazing kitty themed pose prop in the universe... A mainstore Gacha release from Image Essentials called "Crazy Cat Lady" - with this pose and sofa props being the Ultra Rare! - the store's designer, Kay Weston, gives us a glance into the minds of our local Crazy Cat Lady's. We all know one, in fact when I grow up it's what I'm aspiring to be!! If HellBone will let me of course! 
SO anyway, recently I shared a post about the Queen's in my life... Momma Lou and Momma Phe. Momma Phe is the one that inspires me to fully appreciate my inner crazy cat lady! When I grow up I wanna be a Crazy Cat Lady Queen just like my Kitty Momma!!!

Washing the Dogs before I Rally to Rescue

Today is the opening of the Rally to Rescue. An event, being run by our dear allies the Ghost Bullys MC, that will be aiming to raise awareness and donations for animal charities... A team of fab designers have joined forces to provide donations, and Racey - GBMC President and my kick butt Sister - has been working her butt off to ensure that this will be a brilliant event! 
I'm excited to be a part of the team, there's some good stuff that is worth sharing with everyone that is even the tiniest bit interested, but before all the fun starts there are a few important things I need to do... WASHING THE DOG is one of them... I mean the event is about our furry friends, they have to look the part right?! Stars of the show and all that jazz... 

Outside our old "Brownstone" - a backdrop from Image Essentials - with HellBone's new "Rescue" Bike parked in the front, as I set out the TOUCH MIA Puppy Love Bath set and dumped the dog into the suds. Hell's bike didn't stay shiny, new and clean for too long, the dog wouldn't sit still... The water went EVERYWHERE... 
Finally though all the dogs were bathed and ready to strut into the event and help promote the shopping to everyone that wants to see...

When Exhaustion makes you Cry...

It has been a busy few days for me, I've been working my little butt off in the cheese shop and now I'm more than a little exhausted. Thank heavens for the weekend I hear you say, but even then I'm being kept busy-ish with my SL job so there's no rest for the wicked. It's making me cranky, and causing a lot of stress, and that in turn is making me want to do nothing but hide from the world and cry a little... That's just what I intend to do today... 

Snuggled up in my favourite pair of silly old pyjamas - or in Rudh's case a Sakura Kigurumi Onesie in a Frankenstein design - she's going to hide away from the world and snuggle up with her cats. Shed a few tears - thanks to this rather awesome collection of "Not so Hot" poses from Image Essentials for eBento - and try to feel a little bit better... 
Now if you don't mind, I'm going to wish upon a star and hope that I get some peaceful, restful sleep...

Re-born like a Phoenix

One of the things I thought about while I was at home, before my holiday, was that I might need some things to blog since I love using it as a form of relaxation. So I was smart and came prepared with some things that would be interesting to share... More things that I wanted to share, rather than anything that was required of me!
Now, some of you may know, and others not, that being back home in the UK is for me like a chance to recharge my batteries. Just being in my old childhood bedroom helps so much... I feel like I'm re-newed, recharged and invigorated! A little like the re-birth of a Phoenix... 

I guess right now I'm feeling more than a little jubilant, since I just returned home from a shopping trip in RL to discover that I've actually lost 2 dress sizes in RL!!! I'm not only taking the time to relax for a change, I'm also feeling much more positive about things and therefore feeling awesome... A phoenix rising from the ashes! 
The pose and the backdrop are actually releases by Image Essentials, which are available until tomorrow - April 30th - at the Dark Side Event. The Dark Gateway - which is the background prop - and the End of Innocence poses are the perfect showcase for allowing your inner darkside to break free. I, of course, being a little weird sometimes decided to add a little fireplace and make it look like the phoenix being reborn surrounded by the darkness of the skulls and their former life!

Dreams of China... I'm blaming Disney's Mulan!

I am finally done with work before my vacation and to be honest it's making me a little giddy with happiness!!! It was so stressful and I'm free now for almost two weeks! Gotta love that holiday feeling - I still have packing to get done but for now... FREE!!! 
I wanted to show my happy feeling, and for some reason I decided that now was the right time to listen to a little Disney Music... This is turn lead to my photo becoming something of a weird Asian style, escape from my reality! I escaped to ancient China, and danced around in the formal gardens of Tian Ya Hai Jiao!

Now OK, my photo is also missing my head but I just wanted to focus mainly on my awesome leg accessories! Plus it kinda gives it that in the moment feeling and I LOVE the combination of colours, lighting and well... Outfit!
The Dress part of this outfit is a Luas release called Kamiko, but that's not the main focus here. I wanted to show off these awesome Evie Sandals from 1313 Mockingbird Lane - which are available now at Fantasy Faire with donations going to Relay for Life from every purchase! These strappy sandals teamed perfectly with the Ama Assassin Leg Straps, that a perfect for a little ninja in training like me!

Pretty Pink Flowers

Today is one of those gorgeous Spring days! I will always be an Autumn girl but I have to admit that Spring comes a very close second. All the life starting to appear, the flowers in bloom and the sounds of some very happy birds in the garden makes me feel like a very happy girl inside. I'm not really a fan of sunshine - when it get's too hot I get cranky lol - but Spring sunshine is warming and gentle and it feels nice on the skin after a long Winter of grey. 
This month, until April 5th, we're celebrating the coming of the Spring with a special event dedicated to Ostara's Altar... Bring on the flowers, bring on the magic, bring on the new beginnings and the start of something beautiful!  

The Ostara's Altar event is still up and running, bringing together some brilliant designers with a cacophony of colour, magic and femininity that welcomes the Spring season. I've been in love with so many pretty things, that the inner girlie girl has been screaming to come out... 
Today I want to share with you some of the pretties!! Some of the pretties for accessorizing a Springtime goddess look! 
Let's start with the biggest and most obvious item and work our way from there... The Amarillis Headpiece is one of two things in this picture by the store Zibska - the second being the awesome Aviva Eyemakeup which is a hunt prize for the event. Now pink is normally not my colour, but in this case I couldn't resist getting my pink on, especially when it combined with the vibrant blue of the eyeshadow. These colours were reflected well in the somewhat hidden but still available to see Moon Child Horns from Cubic Cherry - who also made the Nemi Eyes, which are the stores hunt prize! I let the colour flow through just a little more in the gorgeous Astara "Beauty Within" Collar and then spiced up the background with a little more pink in the form of Spyralle's Primrose Votive Petites. 
For now, that's enough pink! Anymore and my friends will be checking my pulse to make sure I'm OK, but when Ostara calls for pink, Ostara calls for pink!

New Desks Bloom in the Spring

It's been a while now but I LOVE my new computer and I cannot count my lucky stars enough for how lucky I am to have it. Touch wood it stays this way for a while and I can get all the pretties out of it that I want. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it... 
In SL, I wanted to find a cute PC for myself to make me feel better as a tool in my Blogging office at home, and I think that I've finally found it. It's cute, just like the way I try to be in SL... 

The desk is actually a brand new release for the new round of Bloom. Bloom is a pretty springtime seasonal event full of lots of fresh new happiness... You can find the new desk from Violetility called "Stress Desk" in a few different colours with and without mess at Bloom. While you're there checking out the Violetility booth. It also comes with a chair in matching colours, or you can get the full set and mix-n-match your colours up like I did! 
Rudh likes to make a mess of her own desk but while it's new she's thrown a can of Bitch Fuel - from Cosmic Dust - and a Jar to raise funds for her next PC upgrade, which at the moment is empty and will need to be filled - courtesy of Junk Food.
