Mermaid of the Desert Oasis

I've had a day off today and therefore I've had a chance to let my mind wander off everywhere that's not the normal day-to-day humdrum, but as usually on a day off I let my mind wander and went to somewhere weird and fantastical... It was VERY much needed, and I made a brand new friend in a fairytale character... She's a mermaid, but lives in a world that could be connected to the Genie's magical cave in Agrabar...
We're going on another magical Arabian Night...

Froggin' Fishin'!

It's been a Lazy Sunday, and there has been nothing much going on in my life except a day to relax... Boy was it necessary, it was lovely and so very necessary... 
I kicked back and let myself have a day of NOTHING that has left me feeling relaxed and comforted... 

Today I wanted to take a day of just chillaxation by doing something I don't normally have a chance to do... Nothing... 
I decided to take the day that I would be "Gone Fishing" - a backdrop that I have actually altered a little by adding some swamp like things such as the trees and the grasses and things, to the Synnergy.Tavis Gone Fishing Backdrop - I wanted to be a lazy little Frog - thanks to the idea coming out from the BeSpoke Frog Gizzy head and the Feet Frog - and spend the day fishing in the bayou!

Bubbles are Little Balls of Magic!

Honestly, sometimes the most random posts seem to be the ones that I LOVE best and maybe it's not a truth but they also seem to be the ones that are least popular with other people... Maybe I'm imagining it... 
I wanted something bright, colourful and something that made me smile... What could possibly have all of those things? BUBBLES seemed to be the answer... 

I felt in a silly fairy kinda mood and bubbles have always felt a little magic to me... So I'm going to be the magical kind that form stars as they float around the bathroom she's playing in... 
She's neon, rainbows and sparkles as her bubbles catch the light... How can anyone not like bubbles?

Fishy Fun!

I felt like doing something a little random today, I am Rudh of the Random Ramblings after all and since yesterday I've been feeling like my body is just giving up, now that the stress is over... My cold is back with vengence, my back and legs ache, and OH I had a visit from mother nature. 
Right now, I want to distract myself with something a little random... Today we're going to let things get a little fishy... 

Have you ever found yourself looking at something in a shopping event and thinking, "Ooh I didn't know I needed one of those but now I can't live without it?!" That was the reason that I ended playing with the fishies today. The mermaid in me, NEEDED this... I had to have the FishBowl Top & Bra set - from Moon Amore, available now at Collabor88 - so that I could take the smaller fishies on walks with me. The Bigger fishies fit into the Dreamy Pond Bubbles that magically follow me when I walk, the smaller ones seem to slip through the bubble!

A Mermaid's Summer Memories

Dark, devious and full of light and mystery... Lurking under the sea in The Bay, she whips the water into a frenzy trapping fish in a myriad of bubbles, to bring up enough magic to share a memory of a dream she had that she loved... One time when she was happy, able to be on land and build the most perfect of sandcastles, all thanks to a Summer Memori Orb - from Petrichor...

A Fairytale at the Faire

I I'm back to doing something fairytalish and girlie and very pretty!!! I tried to stay away but it always seems to be drawing me back to it and I LOVE the prettiness and the magic and the girlie sparkles! 
There is a little demonness princess living in the Queensgarden - a sim at the Fantasy Faire. It was here that she stumbled upon a magic mirror at the bottom of a courtyard pond. As she cleaned the surface, the image in it's reflection changed and allowed her to view things that she could have only dreamed of before... Visions of different worlds... 

The Queensgarden is my favourite of the Fantasy Faire Sims this year... While the others are great, to me this one is simply gorgeous! Around every nook and cranny, you'll find something pretty to marvel at, and there's flowers... Oh so many flowers! 
While we're on the subject of the Fantasy Faire though, the demoness wears some gorgeous sparkly body parts from Neverwish... The Dreamer Arms are a new release for the event, and the Big and Lil Dreamer horns have been added to the vendor booth - a set of each have been released in special colours to raise money for the RFL charity, if you check the colour of the large horns you will see the colour that is the special! 
I'm also sharing my first blogger item for the awesome store that is Celeste! I got accepted as a blogger for this store and I am super excited, they make some gorgeous things and I can't wait to show them to you!!

Going Crazy for Black Friday

Even though I am not an American, giving Thanks is something that I like to do not just the one day a year but all year round, it's an international thing I feel. HOWEVER, there is one Thanksgiving tradition that I am very thankful for and that would be the BLACK FRIDAY sales the day after... Its catching on a little in the UK and so I indulged in a little RL shopping yesterday, but MY GOD today I will be needing to log into SL to hit some of the Black Friday sales in SL!!! There are so many, and there are some that I have been delaying buying from because I had been hoping there would be a Black Friday Sale!!!! I'm going to get into a shopping frenzy fairly soon I feel... 

After the craziness of the sales though, and while I am still away from SL, I think that I will be needing to check Rudh into somewhere quiet with some lovely help to calm her down...It's sale madness, it will pass in a few days - once the sales are over of course! - and until then the nurses will make sure she's well looked after! 
While we're discussing her new living arrangements, doesn't she look so cute too in her hospital robes?! The Teddy Crazy Hospital only allows bears in, so naturally Rudh had to dress for the part by adding some adorably Petite Fuzzy Ears - from Besom - which luckily blended with her pretty Olive wig. 
OK I should be quiet now, the Nasu Nurse Bear - from a gacha at Momoko - is here to feed me some pills - from the Let's Play Doctor gacha at Lemme - it's time to relax after the mad dash Black Friday Sales!!!

Ears: #Besom - Petite Fuzzy Ears in Bears Ears Pink ones

Isn't MyMermaid Pretty?

ANNNNNNNND I'm back to playing with a totally different feeling when it comes to my blog... I always say it goes in cycles LOL, now I'm back in the realm of the pretty, fairytale me! Sorry everyone, you should know that you never know what you're going to get, and maybe that's the beauty of my blog, it's like a lucky dip every post LOL... 
I went fairytale Rudh style today... The mermaid in me wanted a day in the spotlight and well, how could I deny her... 

Isn't she pretty? All girlie pastel colours and with the most amazing little fish friends that follow in her bubbles! I guess I'm feeling a little inspired since I saw Aquaman last night - the girl in that has a LOT of Ariel about her, dontcha think? The bright red hair colour! It was the fluorescent lighting of the magical cities that made me most impressed - if you discount Jason Momoa being a massive PHWOAR factor! 
The look really came about because of these adorable MyMermaid Shorts from MuggleBorn, and obviously anything hinting at a mermaid means mine will be screaming to be allowed to play in it! From there it was a slippery slope to walking on land style Mermaid - the fishnet set from Vanilla Bae becoming a barely there top and the Half-Deer Mermaid's Majesty tiara topping off the look! 
Now because there are some things that should be seen a little more clearly, like the amazing eye make-up from PSYCHO.Byts, and the cute pose from {NANTRA} I'm going to be a good girl and share the ads with you here too... Don't ever tell me I don't spoil you hehe...

Snack Time for the Mermaid at the Zoo

Ever feel like you need a break, be it a change of routine, a chance to escape from the every day life or even just a different view out the window... 
It's at times like this that I tend to slip into the world of crazy fantasy in my head, and the best characters are created... Sometimes it's fae, others demon but in a few cases I tend to release the inner mermaid into the light... 
Today is a mermaid day! Today, the mermaid that is being held captive at the zoo is being fed her favourite delicacy of goldfish... 

She's the number 1 attraction at the local zoo... They vary her style throughout the day, sometimes she has a tail and others the water is drained so she's on her skinny legs. She's fed in a punchbowl full of sparkling water and goldfish, which she's developed a habit for drinking in wineglasses - thanks to the awesome "Snack" pose by Reve Obscura - dressed in the sheerest of dresses from MuggleBorn.

A ghostly dance for the Lady of the Lake

You may have heard tales filled with magic and romance, but never did a tale seem so full of sorrow as that of the Lady of the Lake... It's a tragic tale of the lonely rogue that had been wounded in the heat of a battle, but somehow found himself on the bank of a placidly serene lake. As if by magic something amazing happened... He was discovered by a woman, not just any woman, one with the scales of a fish on her skin, dressed in nothing but ratty old fishing nets and pond weed... It was this woman that healed him, that nurtured him and revived him, yet there was something mysterious about her that he couldn't fathom... She never spoke! Not a word... Despite this, and the other odds the couple faced, a love began to bloom like the lilies on the lake... After mere days in each others presence, they vowed their eternal love... 
That night, the woman disappeared without a trace. He withered, he waited and all the while the lilies danced on the pond, mocking this poor unfortunate soul. His wait lasted months, years, decades even, until eventually time took it's toll... 
Now I share the end of this sad story, and hope to give some happy relief... Although his body was taken from him, the soul of the man remained tied to the lake... People came and went, the daily lives took place and towns grew up around this once placidly serene place. After a hundred years, time stood still for just one night, everything faded into the mist, and there, dancing on the lily-pads a mermaid in a dress made of lilies, and her ghostly love, share a moment of bliss... 

OK so I got a LITTLE carried away with my story behind the outfit and the photo in general but I couldn't help myself. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this outfit - in fact the whole set - from nani, available at the current round of The Arcade, called Dreamy Pond that when I saw it, I KNEW I would be posting a story about it! I was lucky enough to be given the dress as an early Birthday gift, but oh my gosh it's soooo pretty I never wanna take it off now I have it! 
While on the subject of The Arcade though, there have been a lot of things that I've just had to have this time around... I mean to go with this dress as an example, these perfect MoonAmore "Swan Lake" Ballerina Shoes, and this cute short hairstyle from DOE - called Renee in V2 - just perfectly fit the look I wanted to create! 
Yet I cannot forget to share the details of this awesome pose.. It was a creation of NANTRA, who made it in honour of her lost friend in RL. Such a sad but sweet pose, that I guess prompted my story to come to life in the way that it did, and allowed my mermaid to cry "Tears for Shedwick"...

Bubbles: nani - Dreamy Pond Gacha Items in Bubbles Aura (Available until March 31st at The Arcade)

My Birthright as a Ghost hunter

Aside from the fact that October is officially AWESOME, there are things that always make me excited about this month... One of those things is the fact that one of the channels Hellbone and I watch on TV runs lots of programmes about Ghost Hunting... They always make me laugh and I cannot get enough of them, so when ID channel started Ghostober I knew I was in for a good giggle! 
Another awesome thing about this month is that the Pulse Games open... I look forward to these every year, and this year it was a Birthright... 

This year's "Birthright" Pulse game really didn't disappoint. They are so well planned and everything has that creepy edge that is perfect for Halloween, I thoroughly enjoyed doing it with my bestieface...
I wanted to use the location to promote it without trying to give too much away... So I went ghost hunting and had a rather shocking experience...
I had a camera that I'd picked up from Action at the last round of The Arcade, and some ghost hunting tools like this Presence Reader from HopScotch, and thought I was ready for whatever I'd come across... I was WRONG...
Standing in the darkness, looking through the viewfinder of the camera I felt a very strange sensation, it was like there was something playing with my hair... I couldn't quiet work it out... I will have to analyse the footage and see what we caught whilst ghost hunting... 

What is she wearing;
Hair & Accessory: [Nani] - Kiran Hair in Greyscale
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Camera: Action - Used Cars Gacha Item in Holdable Camera Ash

Bad Spells summon the Ghosts

One of my favourite events in SL is back again for a new round and I am like a kid in a candy store at Christmas that's more than a little excitable! Then what with the opening of The Dark Style Fair too, I'm giddy with excitement and need to calm down a bit before I pass out LOL... 
It brings out my dead doll side and created a great amount of creativity, I was a happy girl with a LONG shopping list and well... It's like Halloween comes every 4 months!! I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!! 
The darkness and macabreness of this event draws me in, reaching out with ghostly hands luring me in to play in the dark graveyard... 

I'm talking about the event called Memento Mori - the best event dedicated to the dark, macabre, and horrific! It's definitely my favourite event, and I get sad that I have to wait for 3 months between each round LOL... 
Still lets talk about some of my look shall we?! The Hair is a main part of this photo, and when I saw this at Memento Mori I HAD to have it. Now I will say, it's a little strange to see me wearing black hair, but the red colours in the NANI Kiran Hair choices were not really my tone and I'm very happy that I chose the monochrome pack instead... It looks so sad and dark and twisted!! I LOVE IT! I will admit that I added a couple of accessories to my hair, in the form of the runic Elemental Halo and the spiked Deucalion Halo, but I had a story in my mind of a witch being dragged into the darkness for using a bad spell! 
Her already scared face enhanced by this Blaspheme scar - created by a SongBird - as she was being dragged away. The remorse showing in her Teary Green Lua Eyes - thanks to these amazing eyes from Izzie's and the gift of a generous friend! 
I love this picture so much, it's haunting, melancholy and beautiful - at least I think so - and for me it's just perfect for Memento Mori...
