The Pixel Fae and Her Arcade Aura

A magical day off that I spent at home in my jammies doing a few odd chores and reading the rest of the time... When I was cleaning the music was loud, cheesy, pop with many, many cheesy karaoke moments, using whatever I had to hand... Just a note to those who do this too, TOILET BRUSHES ARE NOT EVER TO BE USED AS MICROPHONES... Anything else is fair game, and can make you feel like a magical star... 

There is a loud, rumbling music that can be heard across certain regions of Second Life today as the adorable band that is Arcade Aura - which coincidentally is the name of the collection from everfaery for the newly opened round of Cyber Fair that includes the Wings and Left stocking shown in my outfit - in their matching stage outfits are warming up... Lots of loud cheesy pop music, glittering lights with stars and sparkles, and a lead guitarist that would make things a lot easier to rehearse if she remembered to plug the guitar in LOL...

Come On, Play With Fire...

I am going to rant tonight about pet peeves because today people were getting on my nerves... I KNOW everyone has pet peeves, things that irritate them that other people do and I know that I may even be someone who irritates others around me but while working I've definitely developed a longer list of things that people that do that irritate the heck outta me... So let's discuss things shall we?! 

I've said it regularly that I work in retail tourism, but that would be in a cheese shop for those of you that are interested, and working in a setting like that you see so many things on a daily basis that make me wanna slap someone...
Firstly, one of the things is the way people act around free samples... Putting dirty hands into bowls of cheese after pushing the tongs used for picking them up out of the way, is just RUDE... Barging people out of the way just to get at the free samples, is just RUDE... Acting like free samples is anal you can eat buffet, is just RUDE... Though I think for me, one of the worst that I have to just shake my head and walk away from HAS to be the way people chew... Slapping their lips when they chew UGHHHH...
Don't even get me started on people that chew gum - which I am totally not against - and then rather thanputting the gum into the bin, they stick it under the table top or the nearest shelf... That's not just rude, that's a DICK MOVE!!!! If I see anyone doing that, they are playing with fire...

Peach Treats for the Wee Cows!

Well guess who is back again, it's been a VERY busy few days with a visit from my parents but I'm finally back and have SO MUCH to catch up on that I don't really know where to start at all... This visit was mostly for the SAIL Amsterdam event, but entertaining people that are staying in your house definitely feels draining lol... I love my parents, I couldn't ive with them... 
I have a lot of things to catch up on right now... Plants need watering, and there are animals that need caring for on the farm... Let's go do that, it will help to relax me... 

A wander down Farm Lane - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - you'll see the simply gorgeous Highland Cattle - the adults from JIAN - and their even more adorable Wee Highland Cow babies - from Aardvark, available until September 9th at ACCESS - were waiting for me... I just turned the hose off so that the Seasonal Trough water butt - from Simply Shelby, that's an oldie but goodie and still available at the mainstore - was full, and that I'd picked some soft, sweet August Graze Peaches - from Dahlia at Kustom9 until September 10th... Apparently the baby cows LOVE peaches!!!

Sing Your Heart Out!

I hate days that I have to do chores around the house, although tomorrow my parents are coming over for a visit for a few days and I am really looking forward to seeing them. It does mean that I have to get myself motivate myself to get things done... I've put the music on loud and I'll be dancing around as I'm cleaning up, singing along to the cheesy pop blasting from my speakers... 

I love music, I love it live and loud better... I know some people ove Karaoke bars, I've done Karaoke once and I really had fun but I don't think that I'd want to do it again. I remember being dressed as a Rocky Horror character and getting up on stage with some of my roommates to sing the Time Walk! I don't think I'd ever be abe to do it again, and definitely not on my own... I'm far too shy, but Rudh definitely wouldn't let that hold her back... 
She got dressed up for a night out, stepped up on stage and belted out far too many cheesy songs, that the poor guy manning the Karaoke machine was very close to pulling the plug... 
What would be your Karaoke song of choice?

A Puppy Awakening!

I have to admit that even though today has been the first weekend off I have hd in a few weeks and that I had SUCH HUGE plans to get things done, I find myself feeling sluggish. I'm being slow in everything as I've got no desire to do anything that involves moving... I want to read, I want to laze around, I want to sit back and chill but I have so much to do... Someone wake me up, make me some coffee or something?!

I can't pick up my phone today, without being lost to doom scrolling. I can't sit on the sofa without staring off into space. I can't do anything without letting my mind wander to other things and distract me from the main thing I should be focusing on... 
I sat Rudh down to do her make-up, her Ghoufriend Make-Up - from HAUNT available until August 20th at Midnight Order - if you will, and it was all going well, until she suddenly woke up at the arrival of the cute-looking but somewhat evilly divalicious Pawradise Pups - from Aardvark, and yes they are cute I'm just being silly calling them evil, at Collabor88 until September 7th - arrival... Their arrival means that the Demons are Coming... I better hurry up and get ready...

Sailing Away!

There is an event coming up in Amsterdam that I amkinda excited about, even though to some people it might seem a little lame LOL. It happens once every 5 years, although the last one didn't get to happen because of Covid.This year looks like it will be bigger and better than ever before because it's the 750th anniversary of Amsterdam... The event is called SAIL, you can find out all about it on the event's website, but I am going to start already and get into some practice NOW... 

I will admit that I'm NOT very good on a boat, I tend to get a little seasick and worry about sharks, thanks to a giant rubber shark at a theme park when I was a teen. One day I will get past it, and complete the bucket list goal that says that I will end up in s shark cage... Iwanna go diving with the sharks... 
So for now I plan on hanging around on the boat, waiting for some good looking sailor to come and help a girl out on her boat LOL... I'll put together a cute outfit, grab a been from the cooler and wait...

Raise Hell Baby!

I've been in doubts whether to talk about this but I'm feeling emotional since seeing Ozzy Osbourne, and Black Sabbath's final concert on TV the other day. It's all over social media if you haven't seen it and it looks like the best concert ever... I wish I'd been able to be there... It looked like such a happy event, even though there was the saddest of undertones that it was the last ever time we will see Ozzy perform... 
It's woken up the darkness in me... The Prince of Darkness may be retiring but his legacy will forever live on... 

The dark little fallen angel in me had a tear in her eye on waking today and seeing a the amazing clips all over the internet... Seeing the Prince of Darkness on his elaborate throne, he seemed to be loving life although wishing he could jump around and rule the stage like he once had... 
I'm dressed and ready for a litte fun now that I've woken from my slumber, I've primped my wings, pulled on a party hat and grabbed a flask full of something naughty... Now that the Prince of Darkness has retired I think it'stime we raise a little hell...

Chained Not Tied!

I am often influenced by the things going on around me... So far I've been to a Caribbean Beach because of a tv show I'm watching, and I've had lasagne because my hubby likes to cook it, but today is a little different from my normal picture wise... It's been a LONG TIME since I did something really kinky, but I guess the things that I read have filtered through my picture taking decision making, and I ended up doing something saucy... 

I've been reading a LOT of smut over the past year or so and some of it definitely sticks with me more than others... I've been collecting an array of book boyfriends, I've unlocked some new kinks that I've never even thought would cross my radar, and I've dived in to a lot of different plots. I love a grumpy/sunshine, I love aa forced proximity, and stalking masked men make me weak - of course I'd probably have a heart attack if it happened in RL lol because I am a wuss - but even though they haven't been my favourites some of these stories have stuck in the back of my mind... Still Beating by Jennifer Hartmann is one of those stories about a girl and her sister's fiance trapped in a basement and forced into a horrible situation. That's been in my mind, it happened because I was trying to come up with a way to show off the amazing Chained Obsession - from Six Feet Under, available now at Kinky - and I think it turned out pretty much still beating hehe...

A Different Tale

It's a tale as old as time, but recently I have been loving reading the Smut that is actually based on the fairytales that I grew up loving and still love but now perhaps with a twist of something dark and kinky... 
I am just about to start reading one about Goldilocks, but I've loved them about Peter Pan, the Little Mermaid, Aladdin and others, but this will be the first about Goldilocks and her three bears... Another theme that I love happens to be Beauty and the Beast based stories... A twist on the tale as old as time... 

I love the stories with a twist... The darker the twist, the better I feel and I LOVE it when the female main character is the villain... Maybe I should start writing my own so that I can apply my desires to one tale... LOL or maybe I should just stick to reading them... 
This tale as old as time has a big twist... Our beast becomes human but not before the tale is flipped, with his belle of the ball becoming a scarred beast of the tale. Bitten and clawed by the beast to marr her beauty and let the magic of the rose be her curse... He is her obsession, she see that in his hand held mirror - from Krescendo - while the magic sparkles between her and the rose...

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...

A "Hotel" Stay!

I know I've been complaining about work a lot lately, but I'm going to do it again because well... I can... If yout don't like it just take a look at my pretty picture today and I'll see you later... Otherwise I've been driven crazy enough by the visitors to my place of work that I'm done with daily life and have finally found the perfect place for a rest... 

I'm tired, mentally and physically - so much so that I can't even think straight enough to write and words like physically are a problem - but there won't be much of a respite. I get Sunday and Monday off but I NEED MORE TIME TO REST!!! I'm checking myself into an old boutique "hotel" I've discovered, it's called the "Asylum for Criminally Insane Women"... I don't think I've done anything criminal, but perhaps if you could see the things I think about certain customers, maybe you'd disagree... Plus I've heard they have excellent padding to keep rooms nice and cosy, and damped the sound of aggrivated screams...

Let's make today F*cking Perfect!

I have had the day off today and it's been lovely... I had planned to get a few things done but that was NEVER going to happen considering the mood that I was in. I have been in a bit of a meh place when it comes to blogging lately, I am and may still be in a bit of a rut for a while, but for some reason I just cannot get myself into the game... I'm sorry for that... I am trying, and will keep trying, and today I had to force myself to get into the right mind set... 

I decided to get myself into some blogging and try to pass the blogging rut... I had on an outfit that made me feel a Marie Antoinette gone modern, Pink Ladyish Barbie... I have been living in this outfit and felt that it NEEDED to be shared and it could definitely help me make the cogs start moving... 
The outfit started because of the top from the Elyn Set - from miss chelsea - with a few perfectly placed accessories and some tight black pants... It was a great start, and I decided that another great start would need something to sustain me I went onto the terrace at the Delmonte Villas - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - where I helped myself to a Fucking Perfect Small Cup of Coffee - which was released by Boutique #187 at Astrophe - lit a cigarette and then played the game of what jam would I have on my fresh croissant... What Jam flavour would you choose?!

A Sunday Easter Egg Hunt

Today is Easter Sunday, and the world and it's cousin seem to be getting themselves into the Easter Bunny Spirit... There are Easter Eggs to be collected, eaten and some even like to paint them, there have been many other things going on too since today is actually 4:20... People aren't just enjoying the chocolate... There's another herb making people happy as they hunt for eggs too...

I am not the herb loving kind, if anything I'll be willing to admit that it makes me feel kinda sick, butI DO love me some chocolate, and I LOVE me some sunshine and so skipping around like I'm the Easter Bunny in a garden was bound to happen today...

Hands to Assist in the Transplantation!

I've said it more than once, but then times when I'm making the darkest and most twisted of pictures I'm more often than not in the bestest of moods... I'm happy and I'm usually singing along to some cheesy pop song - today it was the turn of Five, who have reformed and I wasn't able to get tickets to see - but for some reason the darkest pictures happen... 
Today is of no exception, I was given a task to assist in the transportation of something gross and sticky... The real me had to take a look away, so I let the Living Dead Doll take over... She's not been out to play for a while, but she's the happiest little soul... 

So today she seemed to come prepared for the task at hand, and she's always a happy girl when it comes to being able to dig up the body parts from the still warm, freshly dead bodies... The Hospital - a backdrop in this case from blaink - is always in need of helping hands to assist with removal of body parts for transplantation and Living Dead Rudh definitely comes prepared with helping Ghostmage Hands - from Aii - and her Corrupted Hands - from Tardfish, available until March 31st at The Men's Department... 
After the removal of the fresh, still beating heart, she slipped it into the black Human Organ Bag - from Krescendo, currently available at BLACK FAIR until March 23rd - and all she had to do now was decide if it was to be delivered to the waiting patient or would it feed her demon friends for lunch...

Magic at the Zaanse Schans

Since Spring is feeling like it is officially here, that means the high season in a touristic sense is coming to the Netherlands and when you work in tourism like I do, that means things are about to get CRAZY!! 
I live close to Amsterdam in a town call Zaandam, which technically is in the Amsterdam suburbs... It's famous for two things, one is the hotel that looks like a Lego construction of different houses all over each other, and the other is the Zaanse Schans... 

When I started seeing pictures people were sharing, taken at a SL Zaanse Schans, I HAD to get myself over there... It is gorgeous... Close to real-life although there are a lot less tulip fields and it seemed a lot less visitors... In the High Season the Zaanse Schans becomes a crazy place, where the tourists are bussed in by the coach-load... 
There seems to be a little more magic in Second Life as per usual... Rudh excitedly gathered her dead dollish self a large bunch of pinkish red tulips... She looked up and caught sight of something moving around the flowers... A Tulip Fairy was tending to her friends...

Getting Dirty

It's been a busy few days since I've been back in the Netherlands but that may be because I've been back at work and it's been crazy busy... The high season is coming and people seem to be making an appearance within the city... I'm tired and sore but my mind is happy that I was able to get back to work, AND that tomorrow I get to have a lovely day off... 

I love my job, sometimes it's hard work but it's a job that has lovely colleagues and a usually happy public that I can entertain... Sometimes I want to murder a few people, and there are always people that think they know better but it's job that I go out and do, that pays my bills, gets me to meet a variety of random and interesting people and COME ONE, it's CHEESE!! Rudh likes getting dirty in other ways, but even she needs to admit that sometimes it's good getting her hands dirty...

Bored Little Sun Goddess

I'm struggling a bit today, my back hurts and I'm tired and I think I have a little bit of the S.A.D that is so common at this time of year. I'm trying hard to carry on and hoping that everything will feel better when the sun comes out again but for now I'm hiding from the dark with a good book and a cuppa tea, and waiting for the Sun Goddess to make an appearance... 

The Sun Goddess seems to be getting a little bored at the moment... Maybe that's why the weather is so gray and dark... She's bored since these days there are a lot less human sacrifices to provide her with hearts for her fun. Things are no longer the same as the way they were when the Aztecs built shrines - like the one from DROT at The Warehouse Sale - dedicated to their goddesses, especially the Sun Goddess... 
She's taking her need for hearts into her own hands, collecting them herself to keep the glittering of her wings alive...

My job is working in retail selling cheese. I don't hide it, I've shared it many times but I love my job and even though I vent about it often it's a place I feel happy and confident - most of the time anyway - and I don't see myself changing it for a while... 
I've discovered many new things about people though, watching the way they act when there is something as simple as a 'free sample' of food to taste... It's like they have never eaten before, free sample seems to be code for "take all you want because who cares if someone else doesn't get any" and don't even get me started about how people are more like animals around food... Circling like sharks, using their hands like monkeys, slapping their lips... I'd rather be feeding animals... 

Maybe I'll change my profession to animal feeder, since I tend to do it most days anyway... I'd like to feed something cute though, maybe in my own little fantasy world I'd feed dinosaurs in the Dino Park - like the old but awesome backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - driving in with a cooler full of delicious things for those big ol' baby lizards... I was sat feeding those adorable Apatosaurus and Triceratops babies, offering them both fresh leaves and a big ol' Meat Stick - from Junk Food - but I didnt realise that someone was sneaking up behind me heading for the meat...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

There are two sides of my mind right now... One says, "WOW 2024 has been a damn long year with lots of ups and downs and boy I'm glad it's over", the other says "Pfft where the heck did 2024 go and has Christmas come and gone already?"... There's a bigger part of me that's wondering how in the heck the Millennium was 25 years ago, and the fact that we're starting 2025 with a WTF week doesn't bode well... Last time we had a WTF week, we had the Corona outbreak... I know we don't need another one of those, but I will say it might be nice to be forced to stay at home for a while LOL... Now it's time to close our eyes and make a wish... 

Normally I wouldn't be sending my New year wishes and thoughts for prosperity so early. We stil have a few days of 2024 to go before we slip into the new year, but I won't be around and won't have access to the PC from tomorrow. HellBone and I are disappearing to the wilds of Wales, on a family visit with my parents and my sister in her new home... It's something I've been looking forward to for a long time, and no matter that it's not going to be a restful trip it will be a change, and a change is as good as anything... 
For now, I'll enjoy the sparkles, send out many wishes and much love and say Happy New Year everyone. May your evening and start of the new year be good to you, sending you hugs and hope you'll be here to see meand my rambling antics again when I'm back for some fun new adventures...
