Fairies Bringing the Snowflakes

Everywhere in the neck of the woods in the RL world, things seem to be dusted with the cold, white stuff... This morning, there was lots of thick frost on our car, and I've seen pictures of people playing in snow, and people skating on the ice in the Netherlands. It's COLD, my fingers and toes are feeling the chill and have become little ice blocks, and all I feel like doing is curling up under a blanket to hide... 
The snow fairies have been dancing through my part of the world, leaving trails of frost and twirling flakes of snow on the air.... 

A Magical Frozen Winter Scene - a backdrop from irrISIStible - where the trees are lit with sparkles as the snowflakes dance in the moonlight, and the Snow Fae explore the fresh drifts... 
Snow fairies are both sweet and pretty, but dark and devious too... There are some that showcase the beautiful side of snow fall, there are others that bring the black ice... The black flakes from the dark fairies totally opposite to the sparkling white ones, it's less Merry Christmas, more Merry Gothmas...

A Day of Mourning

Today is a day of Mourning in the UK, 10 days ago now we lost our Queen... No matter your feelings towards the monarchy, something about it seemed to make the world rock, and the ripples spread through the world not just in the Commonwealth but the ENTIRE world. It feels like we've lost a legend, Brits have lost a mother and a grandmother and I was bereft. 
Today, I sat and watched, like so many other people in the world, as the Brits do what we do best, putting on a show to thank and say goodbye to our beloved Queen Elizabeth II... 

I sat and I cried... I watched the pomp and ceremony of the State funeral, saying goodbye to a strong woman that dedicated her life to serving my homeland. I admired the strength of each and every member of the Royal Family for being able to get through the day without becoming a total mess... I know in their position I'd have been terrible, a snot bubble blowing monster... I sent silent thanks to my Queen, and wished her a happy trip back to beloved husband.... 
I felt a need to work on something to help my emotions ease, and that is usually something that I can do with taking pictures. I wanted to share my mourning, a thanks to my Queen, in my own Rudhish way...

Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas

 It's Christmas Eve... December 24th, and that means in a short while Santa will be at our door - we don't have a chimney so we'd have to leave him a key under the plant pot outside - I'm tracking him on the Norad Santa Tracker like I do every year... For now though, I'm showered, full of delicious dinner and curled up on a blanket with a cup of tea in my hand... 
Now it's time to phone though to the family, since I'm going to be without them... I hope I can keep it together and not shed a tear or two... 

Although we have a lot of gifts around the tree, most of those are from me for HellBone, but I'm hoping that Santa will bring something special for me... 
I know I've been pretty naughty on and off this year, but I hope tha leaving some delicious milk and cookies for Santa, and some fresh carrots for the hard-working reindeer - thanks to a set from Junk Food, maybe they will help me get into his good books... 
Anyway, for now, I will be curling up to wait for the big man in red, and I want to send a message to everyone no matter who you are, or how you are celebrating, I hope that you have the perfect Christmas this year...

The Crystal Collector

The magic keeps pulling me back to it, none of this wintery magic yet and definitely nothing related to Christmas, but there's magic out there and I think it's getting a little addicting. I AM LOVING playing around with the fantastical looks, and cannot wait to share the things I have in mind with you... 
Today I found myself in another dark part of the caves, inhabited by the Crystal Fae that you met a few days ago. There are other magical creatures in the dark, like this little sprite, that's out collecting the Crystals for herself!

Her skin - a Wyrd Pewter Skin by the way - is pale and reflecting the little amount of light that's being radiated around by the Crystals. Her companions are the millions of butterflies that cover the walls. Decked out in nothing much more than fur for an outfit, she prefers the crystals to adorn herself, wearing them around her neck and over her horns - which are actually a new release from Normandy called Skaoi Horns that will be available from Necrosis on November 27th - but she's been set with a special task... Collect the crystals that will light the Waltz of the Daemons for the Aenigma Ball... 
Posing like an Ice Maiden - thanks to the awesome poses from Diversion at Aenigma - or should that be Crystal Maiden?! She selects the best of the gems for the perfect decorations...

Flowers bring out the Butterflies

I'm in such a flowery mood at the moment, I think it's this Spring Thing feeling that's gotten a hold of me and is keeping me in it's floral clutches!!! I'm gonna have to be careful or people will think that this little dead doll has gone to the girlie side... Once you're there, there is no way back out hehe... 
Today I'm going out on a walk at Ode, to smell the flowers and maybe pick myself a small bunch to make my kitchen smell lovely... 

One of my favourite things about flowers is the Butterflies that they attract, and it used to be a thing that across the UK there were vast meadows of flowers, teeming with butterflies. Since that has become less of a thing, there are a lot less butterflies and that makes me a sad little Rudhie! 
Today while wandering through Ode though, I was collecting flowers, making wreaths - although for photo-sake they were actually the gorgeous creations of LODE who I still maintain make some of the best flowers in SL! - and they drew the butterflies to me like a moth to a flame. 
I wasn't complaining, the bugs I don't like can go away and stay away lol, but butterflies... Bring on the butterflies!

Keeping the Earth, Safe in it's Place!

Fantasy Faire is up and running, it's one of the biggest events of the year in SL that has been running for years, and raises millions of Linden Dollars for Relay for Life... As you might imagine it's all fantasy based, but for a girl like me it feels like wonderland... I bought more than I might normally because it was for a good cause but now my hoard is overflowing with new fantasy pretties! 
I fell in love with my new balloon, and that lead to the angel in me to float in the galaxy, keeping the earth safely in it's place... 

So the whole thing started because I fell in love with the Holding Planet from Boudoir, and then found the amazing make-up from Venge... Both of these things are available at the RLF Fantasy Faire, and yes you cannot really see the make up clearly but I have added a close up below.
All the pretties as she floats through space... Dancing through the stars, keeping the Earth safe in it's place!

Sleigh Rides with Jingle Bells

Been listening to my MC baby sister talking about the sleigh rides that she runs from her RL family farm and it sounded so pretty that I kinda had to get in on the act... I don't have a horse though, so I guess for me the best option was to do something SL based, and wow I found the perfect place and the perfect horsey companion! We went for a sleigh ride through The Forest's Winter Wonderland. 

While we're taking a walk through the I wanted to get that gorgeous sleigh bells sound, so I'm adding some to my new friend, over his harness and just a few more that I'm holding in my hand - thanks to the awesome Jubal Hand Chain from AsteroidBox. 
I'm wrapped up all warm and cosy thanks to my new Winter Coat - from Fika, available at the Winter Spirit - and even have my own little bells so that my new horse friend and I can jingle together... 
Question is now, does anyone want to come for a sleigh ride?!

The First Snow of the Season

I said that my last post was to be the last of my Autumnal feeling, I cannot guarantee that as in SL it can be any time of year no matter what the weather outside is doing, but at least for now, the snow is settling into Rudh's world and making things a little chilly! It's one of my favourite things about this time of year, an excuse to wrap up snugly, to curl up in front of a warm fire and drink tea with a good book... In RL I HATE SNOW! It makes me so paranoid - I'm always one to slip over, it's like a guaranteed thing - but in SL, that's a different story... Bring on the Snow Mr Frost... 

Of course, again, the fact that it is Second Life means you can get away with wearing next to nothing in the snow and not get cold LOL... Hence why, my - I guess you might say it is a Look of the Day - outfit is probably a lot more revealing than it would be if I was in the snow in RL right now LOL...
I'm back at one of those places I LOVE to explore, ever changing with the seasons, right now it's gone all snowy - I'm talking about Moochie! 
This outfit is one of my current favourites... it's a top from RIOT with some gorgeous, almost Medieval open sleeves, I wrapped soft Fur Alice Stole - from Caboodle at Collar88 - and curled my hair into this gorgeous Focus Lamb style... It's become my favourite look of the Wintery season already!

Books on Sundays

Sundays are my favourite days for being lazy... Weekends are great that they come in days of 2, one for getting stuff done and having some fun, and a second for being a lazybutt before the perils of work the next day. I don't like doing anything on a Sunday, no chores, no crazy busy stuff, just relaxing... Breakfast on a tray, a good book, and well... that sounds like a perfect Lazy Sunday to me! 

The book I'm reading at the moment - one called The Finisher by David Baldacci - is captivating my attention, meaning it's taking me far too long to write anything that makes sense today. Though I need to find just a few minutes to show you my gorgeous new furniture collection. The set is soon to be released, you have to wait until August 1st I'm afraid, so I'm just giving you a little taster of what's to come. It's a new release from Petite Mort for the upcoming round of The Gacha Garden called Modern Bungalow. It feels like the perfect set for a modern yet cosy country style home. Everything in the photo is included in the gacha collection besides the tray and the book, which are dust bunny releases, and the house, which is from Trompe Loeil, but they add just a little extra to my feeling of a lazy Sunday!
Now if you'll excuse me, my book is calling my name...

Hair: #Foxy - Vixen Hair in Reds

Fetching in the Sunflowers

It's such a hot and humid day here today... The earliest days of Summer have got me quaking in my boots. I'm not able to function most of the time it gets too hot, and for the next few months I think I'm stuck this way... Bear with me LOL... 
In the head I'm going to hide out where it's cool and I can be lazy - it's Sunday, and that's what Sunday's are for after all... Today I was doing a little gardening in the shade, and whilst I was picking some sunflowers, I made a new friend for myself! 

I LOVE SUNFLOWERS... Love, Love, Love them! There's always something that seems so happy about sunflowers, and although I'm a macabre little Living Dead Doll, I have to say that yellow is my favourite colour! 
Let me introduce you to my new friend though, isn't he adorable?! He was - and may still be - the group gift for MishMish. It was because of him that things got a little yellow for me, and maybe you might be able to feel the summer heat pouring out of this picture too... A pretty yellow Lolita Top from Pseudo and some gorgeous Winnie Earrings from [Fetch]... It was all yellow!!

Feeding Dad's Horse

I don't really have much time today, I will explain later when I have more time and can actually focus a little but right now I'm all over the place both mentally and physically! I did however, just make myself a cup of coffee and find a few minutes just to sit down and write a little something here - heaven knows I needed a chance to enjoy a little therapy lol - and so for this super speedy post I want to do something that's kinda like a little dedication to my SL Daddy - Chopper Mosely - who celebrated his RL Birthday on Monday!! SO, to honour him, I'm going a little bit Country! 

I'm not normally a country girl, but for Daddy, it can happen once in a while! The things we do for our parents huh?! SL or RL, LOL!! Aside from being a country music fan, my dad has possibly - second to me I'd say - the biggest collection of animals in SL... Every time there is a Jian release we're chomping at the bit to get at it, yet I may have found a store that he would love called Teegle. It's full of animals including some adorable horses that are perfect for his country vibe - and I know this may get me killed by my Mommas, but to make Daddy happy it's worth the risk in sharing! 
I discovered the Teegle horses at a little Horsey themed place called Rosewood Farms, and thought it was the perfect location to get my country girl on... LUCKILY I had just grabbed some brand new Watercolor Boho Tank Tops from Petite Mort that are available if you're willing to play the gacha machine for them in the Women Only Hunt until June 22nd. The 5 different designs are so pretty, I LOVE the feathers. 
Anyway, this one was for you Daddy, so Happy Birthday... Unfortunately for me, RL is dragging me back kicking and screaming! Roll on the weekend!!!

Flowers for Mothers

I'm on a roll with taking some pretty happy pictures at the moment, yesterday's post aside I mean, but today is Mother's Day - for everywhere in the world besides the UK it seems - so today I'm going to kinda sorta pay homage to my own mum... I have two of the best Mom's in SL - Louisa and Phedre - but my RL Mum is one of my favourite people in the world. She - aside from Manky - is my best friend, my confidante and my voice of reason. Ever since I've been young she's been as much a friend as a parent, and I wouldn't want that any other way. I miss her when I'm in Holland, it's one of the hardest things about moving away, but she's there at the end of a phone and I am so lucky for that!
Now, my mum has many passions... She's a jewellery expert, walking obsessed, bellydancing diva, but on a sunny day like today she loves to potter in the garden, so that's exactly how I'm going to share her with you today... 

We share a love of  flowers, and I think that she'd really like the way this photo turned out. She's always found SL a bit of a mystery, even though I not only met my RL Hubby here but also now work within SL as a RL job!
The Props and Pose that I chose to use is a release - that has been around a while now, but is still available at the mainstore - is one from Secret Poses called "Greenhouse", and I'm sure you can see why hehe... It made for such a pretty picture and really made me smile to think of my mum doing exactly the same thing! 

What is she wearing;
Hair: Doe - Maddie in V2 Gingers 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2 
Top: MuggleBorn - Ellie Top (Available until May 24th at LEVEL)

Pentas for the Angels

I'm so all over the place with my blog sometimes, it could make your head spin. If you didn't know it was my crazy brain then you might be confused and think WTF is going on, but those of you that follow me will know I'm never able to keep up with one style for more than a few posts at a time, and today WELL the girlie me had to be allowed out to play... 
I went a little angellic today, I have no idea how it got to this point, my mind found one teeny item and ran away with it and well... Here we are!!! Bet you can't guess what made my mind think, angel?!

You'll probably laugh if I tell you, but the entire reason for this look was actually the teeny tiny Penta Septum Piercing by Zombie Suicide - which is available at the current round of Suicide Dollz!! I know it's barely visible in the picture, but I made you look, and I've been good - the ad is below - it's SO CUTE, and really well made and I love it!!! I may be trading in my skully nose piercing for it for a while!
The rest of the outfit was really just set dressing hehe, but isn't it so pretty as a set dressing! Not very often I look angelic Lol..

A Kaleidoscope of Butterflies

I feel like doing something pretty today, something that isn't really a normal look or style for me, but with my same usual fairytale flair perhaps... Something of a more modern fairytale princess, in a less and typical style of dress but looking very very pretty none-the-less... 

I guess you might say that this is a look of the day for me, it's a dress that as soon as I saw it I had to have and even though the colour I chose was not a normal one for me, I cannot get enough of it's soft pastel shade. 
I went for a walk through the beautiful Outer Garden in this gorgeous dress by Kaithleen's and was immediately joined by a group of butterflies... What is the term for a group of butterflies - opens google - apparently it's a Kaleidoscope... A Kaleidoscope of butterflies sounds so pretty!

Lost Tiki Tiki Junction

I'm so glad sometimes that I can hide away in a fantasy world like SL. I don't feel like I have to handle stress, there's no pain like the headache I've been suffering for the last few days, and I can just enjoy my time having some silliness... I just wish the sinus pain I have would take a long walk off a short pier!!!
Rudh on the other hand is able to enjoy the hot weather. Life for her is always an easy rest on the beach... 

Rudh is working in a job in a beach bar... It's going to be fun!!

FLY!

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I'm running around and feeling more than a little crazy hyper today, don't ask me why I have NO idea, but it feels good to have a sudden burst of Happiness! I've always been told a Smile makes you seem beautiful, and right now I'm smiling... I can't help it, I started working on a picture and it came out great and full of laughter... 

I started out wondering how the best way it would be to show off these adorable little horns from Zombie Suicide. The horns are currently available at the latest round of Suicide Dollz, but for some reason when I put them on, rather than wanting to be dark and monstrous - which is my usual style I will admit - I wanted to be outside running wild free and a little silly... 
So I went over to the beautiful Mystical Fae Forest, and did just that, being silly, tying balloons to my hair and pretending I could fly!

Kitsune Rudh

So this week I'm back blogging properly, trying to get things done and trying to better myself as a blogger... I still have stores that I blog for regularly and I'm really honoured to have them, willing to share their creations with me and having a little faith in my abilities! 
One of those stores is PSYCHO.Byts. I've loved working for this store, it's creativity and eclectic style has been something that has kept me wanting more and more from them in all the years that I've known about their existence so thank you to Miss Psikotik Gothly - and her blogger manager DarkMatter Wizardly.
That having been said, PSYCHO.Byts have released an amazing pair of Kitsune Bento Ears at the new Etoile Event, it was time for me to play... 

Now I'll be honest here, I will admit that I have no idea about Kitsune... Time to do a little research... 
Kitsune are common subject of Japanese folklore apparently. Stories of told depicting them as intelligent beings with magical abilities that increase with their age and wisdom.  The more tails a Kitsune has - as many as 9 I understand - the more powerful it is, and because of this potential power and influence some people make offerings to them as a deity! 
I was inspired by the Kitsune Ears from PSYCHO.Byts, I mentioned this before... These are awesome, coming in three different sizes with 12 colours for the fur and 3 different metal tones for the earrings. They are just so cute and soft and I want to stroke them. 
WOW I'm wearing a little God on my shoulders, I have to be careful I don't drop him! My own little God comes from Jian, he was a lucky win at the last round of LootBox - I got him first go on the gacha machine YAY - and he's a Water Kitsune!!! 
We wandered the North together, sometimes him on my shoulder, sometimes him on the ground walking alongside me... It was peaceful, I just wish the snow would slowly start to disappear!!! Maybe my lucky Kitsune will influence the water and make it melt!?!

What is she wearing;
Hair: Exile - Persuasive in Reds

If You Go Down To The Woods Today...

If you go down to the woods today, 

You're sure of a big surprise, 

If you go down to the woods today, 

You'd better go in disguise! 

For every bear that ever there was, 

Will gather there for certain because, 

Today's the day that all the bears have their "slaughter"... 

It's not the slaughter of the bears I'm referring to here... Oh no no, Today's the day that all the bears get to go out and Slaughter... Bears of all shapes and sizes - Grizzlies and Polars, Brown Bears and Pandas, even our beloved Teddy Bears are joining in this year's horror massacre, and from the sound of it, they are all having a damn good time as they wander through the forest of The Forgotten!! 
This cute little Teddy Bear, or is that a cleverly disguised human with blood on their mind, seems to be having a wonderful time, displaying a trap as a necklace with... is that... it is!! A human head bucket of candy! 
It's dark in these woods, and unluckily for you the candle just blew out!!!
For those of you interested to know about the details that went into making this picture which in turn became a crazy story in my mind, it all started with me spotting this AMAZING Teddy Bear Mask by Katat0nik. I HAD TO HAVE IT! This wasn't just a want, this was a need... To make things even more exciting about this mask it was FREE all I needed to do was hunt for it... You can get this mask, along with a lot of other awesome goodies as a prize for the Ironwood Hills Hunt until November 5th. Dressed in a Bloody Fae Dress from Kaithleen's, and accessorised with a Tabou Punisher Trap, Bare Rose Gloves and lots of blood, the teddy bear me carries a Head Bucket from Balaclava and a lamp which comes with the pose from Nightmare's Never Slumber Pose Set. 
Now one last thing, If you go down to the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise...

Angels of Dreams

It's almost time for bed in Holland and that mean's it's nearly time to slip into dreamland. 
Today in dreamland, there are angels amongst the clouds, and puppies too!!! I hope that it's a nice dream with angels and puppies, but who knows, I mean Rudh has always been a bit of a naughty Angel...

Wearing Getas at the Gachas

While Pandora's Box is open and it's all about Dark Japan... Now I know I've said this but I was a bit worried about not knowing anything Japanese, yet during my hunt for what I do know I was reminded that one of my biggest guilty addictions in SL stems from Japan... Gacha! 
So I decided that my second post for Pandora's Box would be a shout out to one of Second Life's most popular Gacha events - The Epiphany, whilst at the same time subtly promoting one of my favourite stores - CURELESS, even though neither of these places have anything to do with the boxes contents! 

In the box this month however, you will find not one but two of the pretties I'm sharing with you here... These awesome Koi Getas, from 1313 Mockingbird Lane, come in black and silver, and the gorgeous full body Makoto tattoo from Endless Pain Tattoos that decorates my entire body are both available in this month's box.
Now because this is a Pandora's Box post... You may want a reminder about Pandora's Box... As a basic reminder, the best place to go to sign up for your box is the Pandora's Box HQ. Now that the box has been opened the cost will be 2500L, which will allow you to join the group and get your box - bear in mind though that you only have until May 30th to do so - and all those wonderful goodies will be yours. Then after the last day in May the group will be emptied and sign up begins for the following month's box - which if you join the group before the release date will be 1500L! You can get more information about this at the Pandora's Box Website!!
