Deep in the caves under The Empire of Dreaming Books, you'll find the labyrinth of tunnels filled with all different kinds of secret texts that hold the mysteries of life... There are many that seek this knowledge, and not all of those people have the best of intentions... There are those that want the dark magic, they are devious and will do whatever it takes...
Rudh is one of these dark, depraved souls... She's come down with some deep need for some very dark magic and has heard that the books in these caves hold the secrets she desires.
She's a Witch, hiding in the darkness until anyone who approaches passes, her wolf guardian keeping watch - as who would even notice a giant wolf in the dark...

Pandora's Box is soon to close... Today is the last chance to get your hands on all of the awesome goodies before it closes, and Dark Japan has been awesome to us this month. I've learnt so much and have some wonderful goodies from the boxes talented designers but there's just time for one more post and a little lesson about somewhere in Japan that I feel fits the box perfectly... It's a place called Aokigahara Forest at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan. There is a beautiful tribute to this sad place in Second Life that was perfect for allowing a little Pandora's Box monster to be free just a little while...
Known as "the perfect place to die" the Aokigahara Forest in Japan is one of the world's most 'popular' - although the word sounds terrible in this case - places to commit suicide.
Legend has it that ancient families would sacrifice members of the family by leaving them to die in the forest, deaths would have been long, horrible and drawn out due to starvation, creating the stories of hauntings amongst the trees. Yet this does not deter those in despair, annually around 70 corpses are found by the volunteers that clear the woods, and records of just how many wander in but never come out are no longer published so that there is no popularisation of the location.
There is a lot of information about the "Sea of Trees" available, check the wikipedia link to start with and don't miss out exploring Second Life's interesting tribute to this dark location.
Back to the box though, she's wearing some awesome goodies to take on the role of a spirit in the forest... This amazing mask is a Pandora's Box exclusive from Nana, and the amazing wiggly Bento Tail that is decorated with Shuriken from PSYCHO.Byts.
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!!

I wanted to do something a little crazy, a little wild and a little excitable because WOOT WOOT IT'S FINALLY FRIDAY! I feel like I've been on a rollercoaster of emotions lately and being honest, I don't know if there is an end to that... Sometimes I'm high as a kite and others I crash back to earth, usually with a bump and an argument!
So the photo that I have decided to share with you today is like a window into my crazy soul... Once you get past the armoured wall of the semi-normal the inside of my mind is dancing around looking very much like this...
The window to Rudh's inner mind happens in this case to be the landing point at Hazardous hehe... I was going to set something like this up to pose with but when something so cute is already available what is the point of going to all of the stress!
The look I pulled together really seems like something that Lady Gaga would have worn in the past... The dress is made up of a simple black gown from PEQE called Domen. I've had this for a while, picked it up at the Festival of Sin - actually it was a gift from my teddy bear - but then when I added that amazing Melanie Wire Skirt from Nana - which you can grab at the lastest round of Suicide Dollz - the outfit needed nothing more than accessories!!
I wore two odd bracelets - the left being from Ninety and the right from Scene - then refound a set I'd had stuffed away in my hoard called Paisley from LaGyo for the neck décor. Yet it was my hair and mask that really completed the outfit... The hair was one from Tableau Vivant, which is an Editorial Style called Laying in a Funky tone, OK so it looks great laying down but it screamed FAB as I wore it with this outfit even when standing hehe, and to accessorise I added an I Am Aries Mask from BOOM... I am SO SAD to hear that BOOM is closing... I mean a 50% sale kicks buttocks but to see the store that I used to wear so much of when I was young is closing it's doors always makes a girl shed a tear!
See I was all excited about this outfit, then I am shedding a tear that BOOM is closing... Emotional Rollercoaster!!

When I was at school the yearbook was something that was only available for the senior year right before they left for exam studies... Every year throughout school, we were subjected to a class picture day though, and MY GOSH it was a traumatic event every time! The simple fact that we all had to wear school uniform, which consisted of a blazer, shirt with a stiff collar and a tie, was bad enough I mean we all looked the same clothing wise, but it was the everything else that was shocking. The bad fringes, the bad glasses, the spots... It all seemed to come out on picture day...
Now I'm talking about this because a few weeks ago, Miss Strawberry Singh started talking about her Monday Memes again... The first for the year being a year book photo challenge...
SO, Rudh posed, in her everyday wear, and believe me, before she has been dressed up for the day, it's not a pretty sight...
This is what people see when they look at Rudh... A slightly over-worked, pimply Metal-head Kawaii nerd lol... This is what a real photo of Rudh would end up looking like in a year book... Either that or she would be caught sneezing!
In Rudh's head, however, people see the superstar, glamourpuss... In her head her photo would look a little different to the real photo. She'd be a model, a beauty queen or at worst just very pretty, but isn't that what every girl wants. I'm not a girlie girl but even I find myself looking in the mirror on the very odd occasion thinking "Wow your hair looks AWESOME!"
Sounds very superficial, but trust me I am not AT ALL... I know that the former is much more of a reality than the latter photo, in SL I may be able to live like a glamourpuss, the second photo being a common look for me, but in reality that looks like WAY too much work for me LOL...
