Tanuki Sushi

Dinner time in the flat has been a little weird, I'm so not happy with cooking in the airfryer so if you have any recipies for air fryer recipies please let me know... I wish I could just live on take-out so I don't have to cook in the flat... I haven't even tried cooking in the kitchen since we've lived here and that's because it's shared with the shop staff and kinda gross too... I have cravings, and I feel like tonight I SHOULD head to that new little Japanese restaurant in town... 

Looking on the menu posted on the door it looks like it's a Sushi Bar - which is the backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - called the Tanuki Sakura Sushi Bar. It's been opened by a group of Tanuki, Japanese Racoon Dogs - from MishMish, available until March 9th at Kustom9 - and apparently they make some of the bestest Sushi in town...

Skellington's Christmas Sciences!

Well we've made it to December, the festive season is officially starting and it's all beginning to look a lot like Christmas... I am not feeling very festive at all, and there is a lot more things for me to be worried about and on edge over at the moment, I'll be fine and will hopefully find the Christmas spirit somewhere... 
At the moment I feel a little like Jack Skellington when he was trying to discover Christmas for himself... 

I guess I was thinking about that when my mind was putting together my picture idea today... 
Jack Skellington's home came to mind, the day after he was starting his scientific search for Christmas secrets. I wanted to create something like my dark little mind trying to find the sparkle of Christmas, the magic that comes with all of the decor and treats and fun of Christmas... There was a little elf getting in the way, and my dark little minions decided to lock him away, but there could be a breakthrough...

Time for some Christmas Chaos

I've been making pretty festives lately, and I love the pretties that come with this time of year... I will admit that the darker and more twisted side of me is not happy though, and I'm fighting back the thoughts of not committing murder tomorrow as I work in retail for the next coupe of days... I feel like now I HAVE to let the demons out, I NEED to release a little festive chaos... 

The Holly Demon - a set from Faunus - is one of the Christmas Chaos Demons in her natural form... Normally they hide as lights amongst the holly bushes, but today she's heading out on a mission to cause all different kinds of chaos. Assisted by a couple of the Krampus Elves, and brandishing a GIANT Plastic Hammer - from Boutique #187 at the current round of MAN CAVE - they will definitely cause more than a few Christmas Nightmares...

Prepping for a Month of Wigs & Pride

Today is June 1st. There are things about today that need to be noticed... Today marks the fact that exactly 6 months from now we are on the slippery slope to Christmas. It's the month in which I finish the study I've had to participate in so that I can move up the working ladder. There are things in SL too... June 1st is the start of Pride Month and it's the opening day of the annual Hair Fair... Two massively important events that need to be celebrated in their own ways... 

Both of these events are for fantastic things... Both of these things need have awareness raised for them...
I'm always an advocate for Pride Month. I've had my experiences and enjoyed every moment of them, I don't tend to label myself but no matter what I'll always ben an ally for the cause. Some of my best, most favourite and most wonderful people identify themselves as being within the Gay community and I love the fact that the world has become a lot more free so that they are free to live their lives as they choose. 
On the subject of love, one of those charity events that I feel deserves a lot of love has started. The annual Hair Fair event has opened it's doors with bucket loads of linden dollars being donated to a cause that needs more attention. Wigs for Kids is the charity of choice, and if you've been following my blog at all over the years you'll know how much I ove this cause. A charity that creates wigs for children that have lost their hair be that because of illness or some other reason thereofre boosting their confidence and allowing them to feel stronger and more like they fit in... How can you not want to get behind something like that?! PLUS because it's a Hair based shopping event in SL that is not only raising awareness but also raising funds, you can get your pretty little bald head into some fancy new wigs as you donate to the cause.
So this is your early monthly warning, be prepared for lots of rainbows as I celebrate Pride, and lots of wigs as I enjoy Hair Fair...

Baddie of Mario Land

Sometimes I find myself getting a little random in my blogging... I guess that I live up to the name sake of my blog really. I start with an item, get confused, find another item that kinda looks cool with the first item and after a few minutes my mind whizzes off to the most random of places... 
For me today that random place my mind went to happened to be Mario Land because the idea that came bouncing into my mind was started by a hat and teamed with some gloves and tadaaaaaaa.... I was dressing myself Bowser Style... 

I can't help where my mind runs off to, I never knew that Mario Land would be so much fun especially when I went from being the good guy before to being on the bad team... 
I started with one of those amazing Neon Demon Hat - from Tardfish - and I know that Bowser doesn't wear horns but maybe I'll be like his crazed cousin Demser. I feel like I could get myself worked up, I want to beat things up so that they don't get in the way, I have a set of amazing Smash Hands - from Junk Food - and knock the bad stuff down... All I need to do is Level Up...

A Dance with the Jellies

Trying to lift my mood from that feeling of being down in the dumps and to do that I'm going to drop myself back into my blogging. I have lots of things to do and lots of things that I need to play with. I'm actually looking forward to finding all different kinds of weird and wonderful fantasy worlds to get lost in... 
Today I took a little dive under the sea... I was swimming around and found myself the perfect place to let off some steam. I mean it's definitely a cold place where the steam will be dealt with. Deep under the sea, where the jellyfish gather to dance... 

Below the surface of the seas, in the rocks and corals there is a secluded space where the Jellyfish dance... Whilst I was visiting I dug through my massive wardrobe and found the perfect costume to join the dance in the form of a beautiful Fay Dress in a pale sky colour - thanks to a gorgeous dress released by Kiru. There was, however, something missing... I needed something that would pack a punch, I didn't have a sting but I did know a little eel that lived close by. I decided to replace that poisonous sting, since I'd more than likely have stung myself, with a little Voltaic Aura - from Quills & Curiosities, at the current round of The Warehouse Sale - to give those around me a little shock...

Why, why, why?? Why not make a Pie?

 It's officially the start of my weekend... I´ve done working for the week and now have a blissful two days in which I can rest. I can get things done around the house that I need to do, I can catch up on things that I have been missing in SL, and I might even do a little cooking... I have a bit of a crazing for a pie... Apple, no pecan, no rhubarb... Think it will actually be apples, since that's what I have in the fridge... I am so excited, I can't wait... 

There are so many good things that I think of when I think of Pie... Dean Winchester, American Pie, and chicken run - where the chickens don't wanna be a pie, they don't like grazy... I'm reminded of the Sunday evening dinners with my family as a kid. I LOVE the smells and the fact that they make great leftover breakfasts... 
The more I think about it, the more I want pie, and I'm determind to fill the house with the delicious smells... That's it... Tomorrow I'm making pie!

WonderRudh and the Pirate Space Cats!

I've been kicking butt and taking names at work today... Thing have been changing at work, and I've decided that this year will be my year, so I sent a message to my boss to ask about a possible step up in my work life and was responded to with lots of positivity. I cannot wait until tomorrow now, although I'm nervous to have a formal sit down conversation to start me on a possible path for a new work course... 
I feel powerful right now, like I could do anything... It's the first time that I've felt like this for a while, and I feel like I could be a superhero...

While I was feeling this powerful, I was walking out on the street heading home. In my head I was skipping down the street in London on a pretty sunny day but in reality it was pissing down with rain in a dark city of Amsterdam. It wasn't long before I heard a commotion and noticed the little space ship blasting back off into space and it's inhabitants, a bunch of Pirate Space Cats - from Tardfish at Level - were causing all different kinds of trouble. 
I slipped into the nearest phonebooth, and had a little Clark Kent moment... Busting out of the booth, as the superhero that I am, I had to start kicking some butt and showing those kitties who is boss!!! Don't mess with WonderRudh! LOL Maybe I need a better superhero name, that really sounds like drain cleaner or something LOL...

Born in the 80s!

Doing some New Year Spring Cleaning... Starting with my RL house, and maybe little by little my SL inventory MAY get an overhaul, bear in mind though I said MAYBE and that's never a huge possibility. Whilst I'm sorting somethings out, doing a little organising, I've found some AMAZING things, that will help with distraction... 
First it was the 80s toys that I'd had from my very early years of life, then one of the cheesiest work-out videos and even my old walkman with some of the best classic rock tapes, BUT the best discovery was the brick that was one of the first cellphones... 

There are so many cool old toys, like the funkiest of toy trolls - from imbue - and the dancing Cool Can  - from NOMAD - but I think that the most excited thing happened to be the adorable little Gremlay who instantly decided to get crazy and join in the cheesy 80s workout that I'd managed to get working from a VHS tape on an old TV - from Junk Food at this month's round of Anthem until January 30th... 
Gotta love the cheesiness of the 80s, I was born in the 80s, but I'm really a child of the 90s since that's when I can actually remember things... Yet, I LOVE the reminders of my youth...

Krampus Crash Causes Chaos

This time of year has always been associated with Santa, or one of his many versions, but there are other, darker versions of the jolly red man that cause nightmares in the naughtiest of children... 
Krampus, is the darkest of the St.Nicholas forms. Krampus, takes the naughty children in his sack rather than provide them treats for being good... 
Krampus, isn't like Santa though, this monster is different... He's the kind that would be more likely to send a child to Monster High... I imagine that's how his daughter would be, a Monster High Christmas spirit... One that seems to find herself in far too much trouble... 

The daughter of Krampus ALWAYS finds herself in trouble, she'd be the kind of child that the Krampus might pick up in his sack, if she wasn't already someone he had to deal with on a daily basis... It was only this morning that this little Ice Princess, marked by her Ice Crown - from Six Feet Under at the SL Christmas Expo, and since the picture makes it look small and dark, I've included the ad below - was persuaded by some of the Krampus Elves  to steal Santa's sleigh and take it on a joy ride. From there it turned into a bit of a Holy Shit night as the ride lead to a crash in the Winter Courtyard, and chaos ensued...

Guarding the Engine Room

There is a rumour going around that something totally top secret is stored within one of the many sub-chambers of the Engine Room... It's so secret that even the rooms creators have no idea exactly what may be stored inside. It's definitely something that is super important though since they have now posted their own brand of armed guards, posted at the gates to the grounds... 

Rudh has been posted as a guard on the northern end of the estate, where the Darkness - a backdrop from IDK Poses - is thick and foggy, puts the senses right on edge... The uniform of these guards is gorgeous but definitely not warm enough for this kind of weather. The Guinevere Jacket - part of the Luas outfit, along with the mask worn in this look - and the Viktoria Corset with this extra caging - available from sixx x wraith at the Engine Room - really doesn't keep you all that warm, althoug it's so chic looking. It looks even better when the St. Czapka Cap - from Grasshopper - is added to the top! 
These guards may not be very warmly dressed, but they are very well armed... The Aether Stream Pistol - a weapon from Artemisia - is a brutal pistoal charged with ionic techology that will obliterate anything that it touches, and if that wasn't enough power, the Magus Rod - from Quills & Curiosities at The Warehouse - will freeze you on the spot the moment that you try to cross a guard... 

What is she wearing;
Hat: Grasshopper - St. Czapka (Available until October 20th at The Engine Room)

Getting involved in his games...

Date Night... There are lots of places that we can go and have some fun, but one of our favourites has to be the Arcade... The music from the machines, the happiness of people playing the games and the smell of the junk food being served. It's a fun place to hang out, a fun place for date night and maybe a fun way to keep him occupied a little bit... 

A delicious dinner for two, something cheap and cheerful... A Pizza, some sodas and OOOOOOH A large plate of Cheesy Steak Nachos, make mine with extra jalapenos please?! 
While we were waiting for our orders to be brought, HellBone got a little fidgety, so I gave him a few pennies and sent him to play the Arcade machines... You know me, I cannot help but get involved as I watched him play. It was a ame full of suspense, I could barelý contain it, as my body language and the fact that I knocked my soda over while watching him play... 
I LOVE this backdrop and pose set... They, along with the Cheesy Steak Nachos, are a collaborative release from the great minds behind Cat-Noodle and La Plume. The backdrop - an Ultra Combo Arcade Backdrop - and the Cheesy Steak Nachos are the biggest brain child of Eimear and Bleue of Cat-Noodle, whilst there is a set of male - Izack -  female - Kelly - and couple poses from La Plume that fit perfectly into the backdrop. This collaboration is available until May 12th at N21... Such a brilliant pairing, such a great thing to play with, and the PERFECT place for a datenight!!

Wonder if he likes his Fish & Chips?!

Sunday Nights were always about formal family, sit-down dinners... We would all sit around and have a delicious roasted dinner, cooked by either of my parents, and it would be a chance for us all to sit down and have a chat about the week that had passed and the one that was still to come... I miss dinners like this, I seem to be eating on my own a lot these days... 
Today, I'm not eating alone... I went for a trip to visit the Aquarium and ended up making a new friend to invite to dinner... 

We went to have dinner in the aquarium restaurant, the Odyssea - a backdrop from Synnergy available at Hongdae Event until March 20th - where they make the MOST delicious Fish & Chips I've had since I left the UK - not including any time I go back to visit of course hehe. I know it's Junk Food, but it's something that makes the heart feel good, it's a taste of home for me, and it helps me feel less far away from my family... I am not entirely sure my Chubby Shark - from tardfish at The Guild ATLANTIS - friend likes his fish though, I'd have thought he'd enjoy the flavour when it's friend... A little difference in his diet perhaps?! LOL...

Waffles are so good, they Fly off the plate!

 When I woke up this morning I was not just a little hungry, I was STARVING.... Ravenous... Craving something delicious, and I'll admit that I haven't been this hungry since before I went into the hospital so I'm going to take it as a good sign! 
Thought when it came to choosing what it was I wanted, I had A LOT more trouble! A full English fry-up, some chocolatey cereal or maybe... OOOOH I KNOW WAFFLES! It's time to get cooking... 

Before I had a chance to get myself sat at the table, I noticed that the delicious waffles that I'd prepared and dotted with butter had disappeared... They are so good they never stay long, they almost fly off the table. The next time that I set myself out a delicious waffle I plan on jumping on and taking a ride to see where it is they fly off too - thanks to these amazing Waffle Rides from Ananas, that are currently available until January 25th at LEVEL. I'll leave the rest of my Breakfast, perhaps now it's taken me so long it should be breakfast for dinner?!

Happy Christmas from Rudhellowen

 As we get closer to the big day, I feel a little sentimental... I miss my family so much, and I guarentee that I am one of a million people feeling this way, and there are so many more out there with worse situations that I kinda feel bad for moping about it. I have to be a big girl, I'll see family very soon, and have to make the best of this bad situation... 
I finally managed to persuade HellBone that we should do something Christmassy together... We're not very couply, as a couple, and we're not very Christmassy, BUT as it's the done thing, we decided to let ourselves get a little Krampussy... 

Some of you may well recognize this setting... HellBone and I had created this room for the Dark Adventure that we created for Halloween in October. The Krampus was kind enough to let us move into his home just to get our Christmas groove on, and pose for a not very Christmassy couples picture. 
A way to send a message to our friends, family and many acquaintences in Second Life, a VERY Happy Holidays no matter what you are doing to celebrate. Things can and will get better, things can and will change and we will get past these feelings of doom...

I love this time of year, when I get to play dress up, and I have to say that even though I can't wait to get myself dark and macabre, but then I forget sometimes that I can do pretty magic around Halloween too!!! I opted today for a little magic... A little good magic to get the party started and bring in the magic of the month with a little sparkle... 

To start the magic, I'm on a little shopping trip to Madam Magic's store - a backdrop from Synnergy - parking my broom in the Broom Parking Rack - thanks to Candle & Cauldron - that was hanging on the fence outside.
I dashed in to get all my Halloween spookies, and even picked up a new crystal ball... While I was in the shop I bought myself a new set of Dark Magic Butterflies, in multiple colours - from YOKAI at Anthem - and a brand new fabulous Twinkle Witch Hat - from Neverwish at Salem - that made me super happy...

Exploring the Tropical Trails

I'd do anything to let my mind wander and my mind is drifting to amazing, fantasy places. 
When you let your mind wander far enough, you'll end up really drifting to far off places... I found my brain taking me deep into a lost jungle, on a balloon ride to explore fantasy places... 

On the amazing Unicorn Tropical Trails, I gently landed my Rustic Balloon - from Lost Junction, available at Engine Room - so that I could get out and explore... 
While doing so, I fell in love with my amazing explorer outfit. A look that is more than a little Steampunk since it began it's life at the Engine Room, from a store called Decoy. It's a Polli Blouse and Shorts and I accessorized it with the cutest "Savage Time" hat - from Tentacio at N21 - made my explorer look perfect...

Flamingos and Flowers

 Ever have those days when you find yourself thinking "what do I want to blog today?" Normally on days that make me feel like that I will often find myself thinking "Nope, not gonna push it" and just doing something else like inventory cleaning or decorating or something... Though today, I was digging through my hoard, I found something to play with... 

Somehow I found myself on the beach and I had my adorable, little, Flamingo companions - from MishMish - and I dressed myself up as if I was a pretty little mermaid.

Fish on Fridays

Fish on Fridays was always a thing when I was growing up... Mum made lots of different variations on the theme, but I have to admit that I am truly British and grew up with a love of Fish & Chips. It was always most exciting when Dad announced that he was heading up to the chippie, and when we were younger we had a boy cat called "Gus" who would follow us up and wait to for his own little portion... 
Everyone should love Fish & Chips, I think even the witch under the sea would love some crispy, coated fishy fillets... 

It's Friday, and for the firsst time in many to come our favourite little tentacle covered, sea witch, made it up on land to visit the Famous Fish Fry - from Lost Junction, that was released as a gacha that I hope should be re-released as a standard release - and get herself some crispy fried Fish & Chips...
