The Teddy Bear's Picnic!

I know sometimes the blogposts that I come up with are random. I love that I don't stick to particular style of picture taking and I find that it lets me relax - as I've said before it's my own personal form of therapy - I never know what will happen when it comes to making pictures and it lets my creativity flow. I can start with one simple item and from that a story develops... Today was one of those days... 
Today I found myself disappearing down a rabbit hole, and into nursery rhyme land... 

If you go down in the woods today, You're sure of a big surprise.

If you go down in the woods today, You'd better go in disguise.

For every bear that ever there was, Will gather there for certain because

Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

I used to love this nursery rhyme... I mean who am I kidding, I still do... I remember as a little kid being in the woods near my home, teddy in hand, as we hunted for the location of the Teddy Bear's Picnic... Apparently it wasn't initially meant to be a song like it is now, the melody was written in 1907 and the lyrics were added later in 1932 - I wonder what the composer thought of the adorable little nursery rhyme his melody became?! 
So today, in my tired and wanting to go back to the UK for a bit brain, I decided to let my mind wander off to the Teddy Bear's Picnic... I packed up a picnic, that wasn't entirely Junk Food, and slipped into a disguise as suggested in the song. I found the most amazing Ursa Bear mask - a head from BeSpoke that can still be picked up at Abnormality until May 28th - so that I could be in disguise...

As the Angel waits...

Sometimes inspiration can be a weird and wonderful thing... I never know where I am going to find inspiration, and I never know from one day to the next what my brain will come up with. Sometimes I find something that other people make amazing pretties with and they go another way in my head, and other times I take something and use it in a way that's totally different from what it's meant... I LOVE when inspiration strikes me and when it comes together and ends up looking pretty...  

I tend to be crazy, random and silly, I do dark and grungy things, I do things that are considered smut - least it would be if I read them in my books - but something soft and romantic are actually harder for me... I find decorative and some other theme pictures hard to do, but the pretty, soft, romance is a hard thing for me to achieve. I NEVER feel like I could do it proper justice... 
Then The Kiwi Co created Celeste Noir and that was buried deep inside me cried... She's not your average, innocent angel, she's the kind that's close to falling from grace. Spending her evenings waiting in the tower for her darkly, demonic lover to appear and ravish her on the Glimmerveil Dreambed - from everfaery - under the canopy of flowers...

A Lady Detective in the 1920s

I got very excited by a new release from a store that I'm not normally a client of. Sometimes you see something in an event and can't wait to get yout hands on it, and that's one of the things that I love about the SL shopping events. There are lots of stores brought together that you may not regularly use, but an item is released and everything changes... It was like that today with the amazing new release from Salt & Pepper at Equal10... A look that takes us back in time, to when glamour was jazzy coated with glitz...

The glitz and glamour of the 1920s, the era of the Great Gatesby, was one of highs and lows... Prohibition and mobsters, jazz and swing, it's an era that oozes decadence, especially when you see it represented in the media... Now, I know Salt Perry - owner of Salt & Pepper - has based her latest creation on the great Gatesby, but my current addiction is a tv crime series set in 1920's Australia called "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries"... She's a lady detective in a time when men were still considered the stronger sex, and with her companion and household staff, she is out to right the wrongs and discover the truth... It's a BRILLIANT series, with some strong female characters, a little bit of steam between Miss Fisher and the detective, and lots of action too... Armed with her little gold pistol, and closing her cases with a Whiskey on the Rocks - like the ones from the Whiskey Tray set from Junk Food - this divalicious detective leaves Jessica Fletcher in the dust...

What is she wearing;
Hair: Wasabi Pills (Now WASABI) - Claudette Mesh Hair in Reds Pack
Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory

Tears so you Forget-Me-Not...

Today has been a bit of a sad day... It was the funeral of my mum's oldest friend's mother. She was a lady of epic proportions, never having had granddaughters she adopted me and my little sister, and even though she reached the grand old age of 96, she always had a spring in her step, never complained about anything and was constantly heard singing her favourite song about rocking all over the world... On other news, I heard something about another friends mother that was less happy and a lot more worrying... After all of the people I know getting ill lately, this was the one that pushed me over the edge and tears were shed for everyone... 
Feeling a little melancholy, and rather blue, I knew what needed to be done, I let the fantasy take over and became the fairy of the Forget Me Not... 

For some reason, the Forget Me Not Fairy is often found wandering around in the Graveyard - which is a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - carrying a bunch of her namesake flowers as she weeps for those forgotten souls in the dark. Her tears mingling with her magic to join the constellations in the sky - since they are Constella tears from KitCat - reminding everyone to Forget-Me-Not... 

What is she wearing;

Dare to be Different

Sometimes I get distracted with all different kinds of prettiness, lots of colours, lots of styles and lots of randomly wild ideas drift through my brain... I never know where my creativity will take me from one day to the next but sometimes, the smallest of things make the biggest impacts for me in my mind. 
I will always admit that I am kinda split in the personalities... I love pretty, girlie, sparkly things, but then I love the dark, macabre and twisted with a touch of kink too... Today I've found a way to make my two worlds collide, it all came about in my dance class... 

My dance class takes place in an Abandoned Attic - a backdrop from Paleto - where we all come in, dump our dance bags and bottles of water, then begin our stretches. Some of us taking our places at the Barre, whilst others stretch in the middle of the floor, testing out our pointes and warming up our muscles... 
The shoes chosen by the majority of our dance team are beautifully, silky, soft Ballet Pointes - from Salt & Pepper, that are available until March 27th at FaMESHed - but there's always one, and that's the side of me that prefers the dark, kinky and twisted... This is closer to my normal style, but even for this style there happens to be the most perfect pair of Fetish Ballet Heels - from Astralia - that I wore with some fishnets rather than matching the other dancers today... I LOVE to stand out in the crowd... I love to turn heads... I love doing things that are a little bit different, you should know me by now, never the same, always changing... Loving each and every style I own...

Red Shoes: Astralia - Fetish Ballet Heels

Dancing at the Rave in the Graveyard!

It's the 8th of October, and that means Day 8 of the 30 days of Halloween... Today's look is something that one might argue is a LITTLE close to some of my everyday style, with perhaps a dash more blood... It's Saturday Night though, and that means that we're getting ready for a night on the town... The little Monster in me is all glammed up, ready to have a party at the Rave Yard in the city, and tonight she's taking a date with her... 

The date in question is one of my favourite people in SL, and he's been with me for almost my entire Second Life... Dean and I have been through so much, he's always been there and has been my rock as well as one of my best friends. We don't often get a chance to pose together, but today we made that chance and since he looked SO Fabulous in the new Salt & Pepper "Desire" outfit, we had to head to the local "RaveYard" club - items from Neverwish - where the music is loud and there's nothing to do but dance the night away! 
I HAD to match his level of Fabulousness... So for my 8th day of Halloween look I glammed myself up as Frankenstein's Bride, complete with oodles of blood and bolts through my neck - bolts from HAUNT at The Engine Room - and her hair styled in such a glamorous Franks style - from FUNKYSTENTCH at Anthem. Accesorised with some beautifully sparkly Marilyn gems - from MOoH! - and some of the coolest looking SHRED piercings - from Normandy at Trick or Treat Lane, that I've shared in a close-up below to show off just a little better - I was ALMOST as fabulous as Dean!

A Dance in the Moonlight

I wanted a little magic today, it's King's Day in the Netherlands and it's a day that hasn't been celebrated properly since the out break of Corona over two years ago. It felt like magic to watch the people be able to enjoy the day as they always have... 
I think that somewhere the magical beings were smiling down, watching the people enjoy the festivities and for once enjoy a little peace in the country I call home. Now that the day is done, the magical beings have decided to enjoy the party too... There will be a party in the clouds, and the moon will like the ballroom... 

At the Aeonian - a backdrop from FOXCITY - the Moon Chairs - from Neverwish - have been plumped with extra pillows for those that have tired, dancing feet... 
The organiser of the party, a guardian of the moon, has been busy setting up the decorations is ready and waiting. Dressed in the attire of the moon guardians, a gorgeous Balika Dress - from Salt & Pepper - while her Beata Halo - from Evil Baby at The Warehouse - and her "Lunatic Enchantment" Moon Crystal - from PANIQ - sparkle in the moonlight. 
Let the party begin...

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...

A Party for the Fellowship at the Solstice

OH MY GOD has anyone heard... There is a Lord of the Rings event that just opened it's doors. 
I honestly got totally, crazily, geekily excited when I heard that this event was coming, and then when I got myself into the event location it was so cute... Everywhere you look are lots of little things that are straight from the movies, and the decor that sounds the location are just perfect little glimpses into the scenes of the movie... I had to happen though, I had to let myself get caught up in the magic... 

Right in the heart of the Solstice's Event, The Fellowship, you will find the tree that Bilbo planted on the field outside of Bag End, and it looks like we're in time for the Hobbit's Party and some of Gandalf's amazing fireworks... 
I got myself all dressed up in a style that was pretty, and that I borrowed from the wonderful Rosie Cotton's wardrobe. The gorgeous Linda Drindl and matching blouse - available from Salt & Pepper at Equal10 - and went into the party, grabbing a Fellowship Ale - from Halo - and heading out to see if I could find Merry and Pippin, and some of their snacks

A Space Bunny went travelling...

Today, I had the first of my vaccination injections, and yes I know that it affects everyone differently, but today I'm mostly feeling somewhat spaced out... My arm is a bit sore, but my had feels like I need sleep and tonnes of it! I almost fell asleep earlier and I found myself drifting into dreams of floating around in the stars. 
When I was able to wake up a little more I still felt like I was floating around and when Rudh took in her little rocket - a toy model from [Not a Toy] has been used in the following reproduction of the encounter - up into the night sky and parked on a space cloud for a bit of resting space... 
It was all very peaceful, until she spotted someone walking through the clouds... A space babe, harvesting some beautiful Star Girl Plants... 

I'm a Space Bunny from Earth on the Pineapple Space Crew... Outfitted with portions of Ananas - the amazingly gorgeous Personal Space Helmet is available from Ananas at Planet29 right now - with a small dose of Salt & Pepper... 
While on the subject of Planet29, that just happens to be where Rudh landed her rocket... It also happens to be where she met the space girl version of herself who just happened to be out tending her cloud plant garden... She's a pretty Space Girl... Wearing Nine stars in her hair - a Planet29 release from Doe - and a Petite Prince Aura of sparkling stars - from LuluB at Ota.Con - her pale blue skin sparkling in the starlight as the spaceman I was couldn't take my eyes off the Galaxia Blush as I said "Oh My Nya"...

Not in the Mood...

I've had a pretty random week in my SL so far this week... Things have been strange for me but things are actually looking a lot brighter than they have for a long time, and I can finally honestly admit that I'm happy!! I didn't realize just how much of a mood I'd gotten myself into - in SL - I'd been using SL as an escape from the feelings of the pandemic, but actually even SL was becoming something I was finding myself forced to participate in... 
Luckily on Sunday all of that stopped... Now I'm taking a step back from a LOT of things and slowly I'm beginning to find myself again... For now though, I'm hiding a little, biding my time... 

Having a package delivered I realized that it wasn't the contents that I needed but the box itself... What better way to hide away from the world than to turn the box into my own private little "Top Secret Hidey Hole" - from Violetility at the new round of The Warehouse until April 18th - and armed with some snacks - thanks to the Dust Bunny Cheese Puffs - a good book - like the Junk Food Constant Anxiety book, which could be useful reading material right now - and even my beaten up ol' teddy - which is in fact a Scare Bear from Sakura - and a HUGE comfy "Mood" Sweater Dress - from Salt & Pepper, that was a free gift a while back... 

What is she wearing;

Whole Wheat Chapel

Something a little random and pretty today, I need to boost my mood and pretty but simple always makes me feel better... 
Winter is slowly beginning to slip away, and the mornings are getting lighter which is definitely a positive thing. Second to Autumn - of Fall as I could call it - Spring is definitely my favourite time of the year. Life seems to be waking up, the air is crisp and fresh, and people start to smile again after the drudgery of winter months gone by. I cannot really get myself to leave Winter yet though... It's just too pretty in SL to walk away entirely lol... 

This location is one of my favourite photo snapping spots in SL. The Whole Wheat team are not only pose and prop creators, they have an awesome collection of scenes that are ready made and set up for photography uses, and if I have any idea I will usually be able to find just the right location to snap the perfect shot here! 
The outfit that I'm wearing is something that I've been wearing on and off all winter, but maybe at the moment it's in it's last wearing for a good few months?! I loved this jacket since I bought at it at the Tannenbaum Fair over Christmas, but the Sophie Jacket from Salt & Pepper is only just getting an outing in public... So strange, but still it looks cute right!? Especially when it's worn with the almost made to go together with it, Kelda Boots from N-Core!
Oh oh oh I guess you could say, this is my Look-of-the-Day!!

What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Carmela in Reds 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2 
Choker: [ abrasive ] - Loose Belt Choker in Aged Taupe 
Jacket: Salt & Pepper - Sophie in Night 
Boots: N-Core - KELDA in Grey 
Pose: Image Essentials - Sexy 3 

Fighting the Walking Dead

Monday Morning comes again... It's a time of the week that sounds dreadful but isn't actually that bad - least I'm beginning to think that way - Tuesday morning always seems worse somehow?! Yet I am not denying that it is always a struggle to get myself up in the morning on a Monday morning.
There is just one thing that brightens up my Mondays at the moment and that's the fact that it is Walking Dead Night tonight. I am not a fan of the show, but HellBone is, which means that Monday Nights are awesome because I get a full hour of alone in bed time!!

In homage to The Walking Dead - yes I have no idea what I'm really doing here because I have no idea about the show at all, but you know me I enjoy being dead lol...
The pose I am using is perfect for that... It's a Come Soon Swag Bag Pose Prop - from last month's Swag Bag - called End of Line. If I'm going to be taken out, then I am taking out everyone else with me!
The outfit was one of the real reasons that I wanted to use this pose - for some reason they just seemed to fit together so well! The body suit and matching collar is a Salt & Pepper creation called Cyberized that you can win from a gacha machine in various colours and combinations at The Gacha Garden. It seemed perfectly accessorised with this Chained Mask and the Survivor Holster - both from The Little Bat that I found during the Pulse Games Event this year!
Bring on the Walking Dead... I'm ready to go to bed!

Hair: Besom - Glam Kitty

Rudhie Widow - A Rare Display Piece!

Wanted to try something a little creative today, not sure how well it worked but you should know me by now, I cannot help myself when it comes to messing around with things and trying something new. So I set out some props - some amazing haunted style goodies, and then styled myself, with a little photoshop magic I brought the two together! Not sure if it worked as well as I had hoped BUT I like it! So you get to see it, and maybe tell me what you think?!

I'm a rare lesser seen spider specimen, the Rudhie Widow - skankish and deadly, and prone to killing those that get in her way - or at least having someone else do it for her LOL... Trapped in a Belljar - from Half-Deer - and mounted on a boad - which is actually A Padded Wall pose prop from Come Soon Poses - she can do nothing but sit and look as the world passes her by!
The décor and the mantlepiece that I am sat on are amazing items that I grabbed from Gacha Machines at SALEM - yes that event again LOL - and include Grim Parlor Decor gacha items from (Yummy) and The Witching Hour gacha items from MadPea. That's not all from SALEM and it's Gacha machines though, Oh No! Check out my awesome outfit, a crazy Eyeholic look from Moon Amore - to make it easier to see I've added a close up look too if you look below!
There is yet MORE Gacha to mention too... I'm not sure if I mentioned it, BUT don't miss The Gacha Guardians too - that event is great and you can win some awesome goodies, like the Nightmare Catcher from STATIC and these awesome Arachnophilia Spider Legs from Salt & Pepper!

Oktoberfest and Edelweiss

The month of October is the best in my opinion... I LOVEEEEE Halloween as you might have already guessed but there are other things about it that make me smile too... Beer is a must in October, as it's Oktoberfest! That Oh-So-Awesome festival that the Germans celebrate with Beer and Pretzels. Now I will admit that I turned to the grand masters of Google and did a bit of research before sitting down to write my post today and I realised that actually Oktoberfest only runs until the first weekend in October - technically I am a little late, but Oh Well! I found Lederhosen, I found beer, I had to pay homage to the festival of beer drinking! 

The lederhosen are actually a past Gacha item from the store Salt & Pepper, and I believe these were in the machine for the recently ended round of The Gacha Garden. As soon as I saw the machine I had to give it a try and was lucky enough to win some very pretty coloured lederhosen on my first go - coincidentally, just so you know, lederhosen means leather trousers in German lol - and the gacha machine not only contains the outfit but also socks and other pretty things that are perfect for this look.
Yet as it's October and therefore the month of HALLOWEEN, I can't resist adding a little of my favourite kind of Dead Girl flavour into the mixture. Hence why Rudh has been shot in the head and has this amazing "Growing Within" scar on her cheek from Ama. It looks like some cute little white flower, and for the purpose of this look I am going to tell you that it is in fact edelweiss, but don't quote me on that LOL... 
For some reason I feel like they SHOULD be Edelweiss but I know that I'm probably going to be in trouble for thinking of them, as the Edelweiss song that is rolling around in my head is in fact Austrian - and yes I'm thinking Sound of Music right now - but meh I'm sure Edelweiss grow all over that general region of Central Europe?! Don't they?! 
Oh well... Who knows, another beer will help me understand more, thank goodness it's Oktobeerfest!
