Gorgon Chained!

You may well know now that I work in a public setting, and there are people that seem to do everything in their power to put you down because you don't have the things they do have. I get that some of the tourists have more material things than others but today those same kinda people basically shoved other people out the way to stuff their face on tasting samples and then complained about the price of the product... I had such a hard time not rolling my eyes, but it brought out a monster in me and although that varies from time to time, the monster of today would be a gorgon LOL... 

I love when my mind takes me to al kinds of different monsterous places, but since I'm watching Wednesday and think that Ajax is the cutest little sweetie so a Gorgon definitely demands my attention... Plus she's the kind of monster that I need when I'm at work sometimes, being able to turn people that look at her hair to stone would definitely help make thing easier when I'm dealing with rude, annoying customers... 
Monsters like her have to be kept chained up for the safety of others, and while she's a little misunderstood, they bound the wrong parts of her... Eyes closed under a blindfold, while her snakes are loose...

Hair & Accessory: Usagi Society - Vibora Hair in Streak

Birdies on the Boardwalk!

They often say things manifest in threes... Good or bad, there is always a possibilty that when you have something bad happen, if a second bad thing occurs you may start being more cautious as you wait for the third thing... At least I do anyway, and I'm really hoping that the same goes for when you're seeing good things happen... I'v had two good things, I hope that it's true and a third thing happens to me soon... 
Today was the second day of seeing good things happen... Let's take a walk on the boardwalk by the beach and I'll tell you all about it... 

The boardwalk seems a little deserted today, though there was definitely a party last night if the mess is anything to go by... Either that or it's the GIANT Gulls that are having a party of their own - they are part of the Don't Feed Gulls Gacha collection by Aardvark at the Arcade until August 17th - but I guess that was bound to happen with so much food waste left around the place... They look like a happy, healthy bunch, but I'd avoid the the one near the bench that's trying to break into a bottle of Slorona - which is comes from Junk Food - he has a knife and well, that's gotta be dangerous... 
Onto the two good things though, since that's what you're really curious about... While on vacation I put 3 plushies up for sale on eBay - mum sells things she buys at carboots that way so she really did the selling I just provided the items - and made ten times what I paid for them! Then today, the second good thing happened, I was accepted back as a blogger for a store I missed working with SO MUCH... I am now a blogger for Aardvark once more... SO... Two good things, I wonder if or what a third thing could be?!

Time for a Sunday Sundae!

It's Sunday, a very lazy Sunday because it's a very HOT Sunday... I've seen people laughing about how people in England complain about the heat, well I'd like to point out that since our homes don't tend to be built to let warmth out but keep it in instead. I admit I HATE hot weather and am looking forward to when it starts to cool down again, but until then and since it's lazy hot Sunday, I think it's time we tried to cool off with a Sundae?!!

I have to be quick with this post since I dont want most of the Ice Cream to melt, the only melted Ice Cream should be that which is used in the making of some fancy Retro Milkshakes - like the ones in the set with the machine from BROKEN ARROWS - whilst the rest of the Ice Cream is used to make some Classic Banana Splits - like the one from Hangry. We have So many delicious toppings, with fruit and chocolate, syrup and whipped cream... 
Seems like our puppy friend couldn't wait though LOL...

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...

Bathtime for the OwlBears

I've been off work today because I have terrible pain running up and down my back. Any time I took a step it was like lightning ran down my right leg. Hubby was looking after me but I was able to take it easy and things are maybe getting better... I've put off doing my chores, I've put off doing anything besides relaxing and reading a book and taking a long hot shower... 

Rudh on the other hand had a few things to be getting on with... Chores to do around the house and tasks she'd offered to help with because they seemed far too cute not to... That was why she found herself in the Gothic Attic Skybox - a creation by LORE for Midnight Order - of the grand old wizard, to assist him on Owlbear wash day... The wash station was set-up on his Potions Station - which is a cute creation from ChiMia also for Midnight Order - and he had gathered his Owlbears - which are a release from Aardvark, also for Midnight Order - ready for their bath...

A Magical Grim Gourmet

A new year is the perfect idea for a fresh start and that means it's a time to move on from things that aren't happy and that means getting rid of things that aren't good for us. I HATE the thought of hurting anyone but sometimes I've just gotta do what's best from me... This isn't aimed at ANYONE in particular, it's not aimed at anything... It's more of a reminder to help me get through things that make me sad... 
I found the perfect way to make me feel better, and getrid of the evidence all at once... 

During a bout of time within the Insomnia Kitchen, I found the perfect solution to any problem I NEEDED to get over. It came to me while I was cooking a chilli, as soon as I opened the spices in the spice rack, a cloud appaeared that started to sparkle and suddenly a magical MadCat - which happens to be an Exclusive available from MadPea at the MadPea Unlimited Sim where you can play 10 immersive adventures including the thrilling new crime adventure "The Naughty List Murders", and I may just see you there hehe - appeared... This MadCat began sharing dangerously devious, but equally practical ideas in ways to get rid of bodies... Soup and Pasta Sauce being the top of his list...It was going to be a very Grim Gourmet - thanks to the adorable outfit from everfaery I'd stay a little cleaner I hope - and I guess that it was lucky I'd been in a bit of a fight and someone had died in a chair right there in my kitchen...

Welcome to Gingerbread Town

 I want to find the Christmas magic... It still seems to be evading me a little bit, and I am more excited by the fact that a couple of days after Christmas I get to go home to see my parents and my sister and see her new house... I CANNOT WAIT!!! Maybe that's where my festive magic will be, maybe that's the time I am waiting for, and right now maybe once the big day will arrive I'll suddenly be feeling it... 
Still until then, I will do whatever I can to find that festive feeling... Even let my mind take me to far off, and maybe imaginary places...

A Moment to Pause...

Today I wasn't working, technically you could say that it's the start of my weekend, and basically I found myself buried to my neck in a blogging slump. I KNOW that I have targets I need to work on and things I KNOW I want to do but for some reason, when it came to starting my blogging plans today I was stuck... 

Am I the only one that ever gets in a rut? I see so many people posting gorgeous things almost every day, but I find myself wondering, don't you ever get confused about what you wanna do with or without the things that you're given?! It was just brewing in my mind that I COULDN'T think what I wanted to do, but after all the decorating and the planning and the work, my mind was spinning, and it wasn't until a very wise friend told me to take a day to relax and let my mind rest, make a cuppa tea and read my book that things started to fall into place... I did exactly that,I found a cosy armchair by a fire in the Frostel Penthouse - which is a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - with my Cats in their Winter Sweaters - courtesy of Aardvark - to keep them extra toasty warm. Holding onto a mug of tea, which I used to help hold my book open like a bookmark - a pose from -Extra- by the way - it's time to clear my head and get lost in my book...

Santa's Favourite Ho Ho Ho

It's been a long day and tomorrow will only be worse, but I'm so glad it's getting closer to Christmas and getting home to see the hubby had put the tree up and added the lights made me feel even more festive... 
Though this time of year I feel like an over worked elf in a yucky retail setting, though instead of being a worker elfI got a promotion this year, and became a slightly more important worker elf... 

The naughty little elf that I am, is so far down the naughty list that she has to find a way to boost herself back up. As a slightly more important elf, there is a sure fire way, Santa knows where all the naughty girls are, and there have been a few that taught me a few little tricks as a way to make sure Santa knows I can be good at certain things... 
Bring Santa a tankard of ale, and put on a little show while he relaxes before his big day... Even better if you wait until Mrs Claus has gone to bed and you dress yourself in ribbons and step up onto the Holiday Pole Stage - from MadPea at the current round of ACCESS until January 8th - to shake yourself off the naughty list...

A Gift for the Krampus

I've been celebrating the pretty, organised and wonderful side of Christmas celebrations, but there is a certain darkness to Christmas that many people tend to forget... Those kids on the Naughty List,  aren't only risking not getting any gifts... They are risking a visit from Santa's darkest little friend... Krampus is also in town and this year, he's brought his Krampussettes with him... 

The Krampettes are even more dangerous than Krampus himself, he's known for his actions but these girls are more unpredictable and less likely to treat a kid well... 
It was a darkening night, it was a misty night, but it got rapidly worse the moment that Santa, on his daily test flight, spotted one of the Krampettes in the woods... The accident happened in the blink of an eye, she moved her Krumpass Mask - a creation from Tardfish at the Men's Department until December 31st - and when Santa saw her face - a Faceless head from Bespoke - he crashed into the nearest tree... 
Packages were scattered everywhere, there was even one addressed to the Krampusettes... Something surprisingly cute, a representation of her master, a Krampus Plush - a gift from MadPea for Santa Inc when you spend over 800L and accept the Naughty gifts - wonder what Krampus thinks...

On the First of December...

Today is the first day of Advent, and that means the countdown officially begins. Every day for the next 24 days takes us one step closer to the most festive day of the year. It feels like I have a lot to do, but I'm taking it very slow and I'm planning on enjoying myself every step of the way... It's been a special day, one that started with the opening of my multiple Advent calendars... 

I have multiple Advent calendars this year... An online one from my Grandparents, a card one from my mum, my epic Book Advent Calendar that is my Christmas gift from HellBone, but in SL I have two... One is a Countdown 'til Christmas Calendar - which is the current group gift from MadPea and makes for a perfect decoration for those that want to count down until the big day - and the other is the always epic and FILLED with amazing gifts from some wonderful designers, MadPea Advent Calendar for 2024... The line-up of stores that have added a little gift to the collection this year is amazing, with the likes of miss chelsea, Aardvark, Tardfish and The Kiwi Co - all of which are my sponsors and I'm excited to see them as part of something like this - but many more too... 
Once I opened today's treat, and I'm not going to reveal what it is although it's cute and such a fun first gift, I realised that I now have to sit around a wait for tomorrow, so I pulled out some of my decorative toys, the Soldier Plushie Bear - from FINCA - and the Nutcrackers to make the festive little village feel more lived in...

Good Times for Dolls in Malibu Baby

One thing I love about my form of blogging is that as I'm so random I never know what will come out of my brain at any time... I LOVE being something pretty and fantastical, I love being dark and twisted and I LOVE being bright, colourful and weird... Some days I'm more random than others, and today for some reason I've had the Barbie Girl song rammed deep in my brain... That lead to me being invited to a very strange party... 

When my friend said "hey there is a new party location in Malibu Baby - a backdrop from FOXCITY by the way - called "Good Times" - with a sign made by Krescendo for the current round of Man Cave - that has a cinema, pool and a dance club... It was the perfect place for a doll, living or dead like me to explore. So I got myself all dolled up, something Barbie-esque, lots of pink and cute - in a shirt from Adora-tions, and a pink fluffy coat from GABRIEL - but I feel like I had a bit of a wires crossed moment... 
The kind of dolls that were to be found poolside were not what I was expecting... The Blowup Bettys and Blowup Barrys - a release from MadPea for the current round of ACCESS until December 8th - are strutting their stuff, checking each other out and there's an undercurrent of sexiness... Weird looks on their faces and far too much rubber skin on show... Still, I hope they all find happiness, it's just not the hangout place for me... 

What is she wearing;
Hair: TRUTH & Faga - Opulent in Redhead
Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory

Geometrics and Bubbles!

My last post was a ittle morose and I am sorry to anyone that I may have brought down with my unhappy ramblings... Today I was boosted from my feelings of meh by a chance coversation caused by my rambling space and therefore not only did I realise that my therapeutic ramblings help me, they do in fact provide entertainment to others a little bit too... It deftinitely made me feel better and made me feel like today I needed to do something random, sparkly and crazed... 

I dunno why the most random of pictures always makes me feel the happiest, and most alive... I wanted bright and colourful, I wanted something neon and colourful, I wanted colours... I filled my screen with Geometric Light Tiles - a release that has come from the great minds at MadPea, and is still available until November 24th at LEVEL - and brightness that made me feel like I was exploring a magical place like Oz... Maybe it's due to my social media being filled with Wicked stuff, but today was all about the green... Can't have been helped that my Witch Tumbler - from Boutique #187 at SABBATH now - was also a green witch theme and the bubbles were so bubbly they were floating away in the breeze...

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...

Trick or Treating for Pennies

 HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! The day of the darkest magic has finaly arrived and there is so much fun to be had... I'll admit to you now that this October has been a whole lot less Halloweeny than years gone by, and even though it feels like I've done a lot less Halloweeny stuff this year I'm kinda happy to just be able to relax and enjoy the chill in the air... 

I spent a long time trying to work out what I wanted to be this year for Halloween... I finally got my Hop(e) on - which also happens to be the name of the backdrop from K&S - and realised that posing in the sewer there was one character I had to be... The sewer seemed far too full of trash, and even the tentacle monster that dwells in the dark wants to escape... 
What kinda Halloween spooky lives in the sewer you might ask? For those of you that appreciate a good horror movie, there's only one real answer... I'm dressing all cute and evil clowish, I'm going to get my IT on... 
One of my store obsessions, Mug, made the perfectly girlie version of Pennywise's outfit - appropriately called Penny, and available until November 10th at Kustom9 - and with the addition of a little make-up to look a little Scherzo - in a make-up that is a Hunt Gift from Fallen Gods Inc, at the soon to shut Trick or Treat Lane - and my clowning around was ready...

Only Books have the Answers!

Today has been a busy but lovely day... I got to see my mum for a few hours when her cruise docked in Amsterdam - she said my tour was much nicer than the one offered by the cruise operators - and then after a very hectic morning, I came home to relax... I had a shower, got into something comfortable and promptly took a nap. I'd been planning to read, but I only managed a few pages before I passed out... 

Nothing like curling up with a good book, I LOVE reading under a blanket with a cuppa... I've been reading so much this year, and I realised the other day when I didn't get a chance to read before bed that I had trouble falling asleep... 
Like I said though, being in my jammies, with a good book, a cup of tea or coffee and my darling pussy cats - like the Bat-titude and Arachno Cats from Aardvark at the current round of ACCESS - can make everything better. In this case, I'm sat with a voodoo doll friend of mine whilst I look through the Necronomicon as the mess of my desk wasn't revealling the information I needed it too... Not even my Pendulum Prediction Board - from MadPea, available until November 10th at Kustom9 - wasn't able to find the answers...

Stand Out in a Crowd

Tomorrow I'll be doing something a little different from normal... Rather than going to work in the city, I'll be meeting up with my mother and her friend who are stopping in on a fancy-schmancy cruise... I'm so looking forward to it. I just hope that I can find her in the crowd, I need a way to stand out in the crowd.. I've never been good at standing out in a crowd... 
At this time of year there are SO MANY fantastic costumes to be found in SL too, it's hard for the usually crazy costumed dresser like me to find a way to stand out... The other ghosties have turned to me for advice... 

It's laundry day in the ghostie glen... A day when the whiter than white sheet ghosts gather together to have a bath with some lovely laundry detergent. There have been discussions about how we're going to get more notice this year, and how we're going to stand out in the crowds of amazing Halloween gear... I had a wild idea, seeking out a LARGE cauldron that is full of the Firework Green Potion - which is actually an amazing Halloween Fireworks Cauldron, that is available from MadPea for the current round of Equal10 - and we were going to tie-dye our sheets!!!
I even managed to find a few accessories with a touch of neon, and some other Glitter Babe - a dress from Neverwish, which is TOTALLY gorgeous by the way - fabric to make a dress to wear under my sheet for added affect... 

What is she wearing;
Horns & Tail: [Apika] - Le Diable Neon Horns & Tail
Ghost Accessory: [Yomi] - Boo-ba Sheet 1

Messages from Beyond

There is some magic in the air and as it's the Spooky season, it's definitely a little on the darker side of magic... 
Big predictions of things to come, sparkles of magic sharing their secrets in the crystal balls and talking through the whispers of the cards... 

The witches were gazing into their magically Luminous Crystal Balls - from LORE, available until October 31st at this year's round of Trick or Treat Lane - but as the message was only meant for the eyes Slither Eyes - a gorgeous eye release from The Little Bat, that is also available at ToTL - her companions were temporarily left like Wondering Witch Statues - from Moon.Phase, again, also available at Trick or Treat Lane... 
The message wasn't helped any by her little Fuzzy Spider friend - from Sakura - who knocked into the stack of Shadowed Veil Tarot cards - an amazing release that will really share a reading with you from the brilliant minds at MadPea, available until October 20th at The Fifty - and caused her to turn a little green... I mean it could be the eerie light radiating from the crystal ball, but she looks a little green with Envy - which by the way is a fantasy skin for 2024 from the amazing LUMAE at ToTL...
