A Club Full of Smiles

Today has been one of the crazies days at work for me since the covid days... The Netherlands, especially in the North of Holland, was hit by a MASSIVE storm this morning. Rain was coming down horizontally, the wind was blowing a gale so much so that I was almost blown off my feet, and trees were hitting the ground left, right and centre... It was almost scary, and would have been if by the time I got to work I wasn't more concerned about the fact I faced an 8 hour day of being wet and cold, and to top it all off I KNEW we'd have no customers due to the crappy weather conditions... 
By the time I got home this evening, I KNEW I needed a smile... 

In one of the deepest, lesser known parts of the city, there is a cute little bar that's known for making people smile. it's a smily bar for smilers... Today it's the place that I needs to get to right now, as I NEED a smile... I'm going to dress for the club and try to find the smile that I need. I think it's already working, this outfit makes me smile and I LOVE the colour combination!!!

Do Cyborgs Cry?

 Do Cyborgs ever cry? I'm not all that clued up when it comes to Sci-Fi as a genre, and so things like cyborgs and robots are REALLY beyond my imagination. Yet I understand enough to know that they are programmed to be something akin to a human... If so, do they know how to feel anything? Maybe not emotions like love, but what about rage or sadness when they lose a part of their body as an example? Would they be able to cry? 

I'm such a wuss that I cry at everything, so I feel like a cyborg version of me should at least be able to cry, even if she did not understand her feelings... 
I mean if she was in a fight within a Hacked City - a backdrop from The Bearded Guy by the way - and she was being chased by a pair of Bunbun Robots - from MishMish at Collabor88 - that were not meant to be mad but, well.. the city has been hacked, and there was an accident that lost her her arm - like the Infinity Arms from PSYCHO.Byts at Mainframe Event until August 13th - I think she'd let the neon Crybaby - from Doe - tears roll down her cheeks...

Testing out Furniture

I may have said this before but I am about to say it again... I LOVE taking pictures and always feel happy having done so, but the vast majority of my blog posts focus on people... When it comes to taking pictures of anything that's not people I feel like I find myself falling flat! I seem to loose all confidence in my skills and feel very much like a fish out of water! 
Though when I was sent the brocante collection from the latest round of Uber, I thought "suck it up Rudh, let's try this"... 

This is the gorgeous new collection from brocante. The Metal Frame Bed comes in a selection of different colours at Uber, where you can also find the Barn Door Sliders and the Arrow Marquee lights too! I love them as a set, especially against this slightly crazy wallpaper, which is a group gift from SilentSparrow. 
It's not the best photo of furniture, I know people that take a LOT better, but as one of my practice shots... I'm pretty happy with it, and the furniture is just awesome!

I woke up in my own Wonderland

I fell asleep during the last post I wrote and it took me to a strange and magical land... As if SL wasn't enough on it's own I found myself wandering through a wonderland... I guess that's what happens when you accidentally take too much cough medicine!

I will say that a lot of this could be the fault of the recent Kawaii Project - but that wouldn't be entirely true, they didn't force me to buy lots and lots of pretty things...
We're All Mad Here... Such a truer than true phrase about SL, least in my world it is anyway... Maybe that's just the way I chose to live my SL... The statement is a true Wonderland quote, but you too can grab yourself you're own posing pocket watch - courtesy of Exposeur - that will allow you to surround yourself in the madness... While at Kawaii Project though, don't miss out on your chance to catch the very rare - last of the species - Dodos - a SilentSparrow super creation!  
It's not just Wonderland critters though, there are a few that have snuck in from a local Wizard School it seems... Those adorable little Nifflers seem to be following me everywhere, I just hope they don't get too close to those Carnivorous Geraniums! I heard that you could buy you're own pets like these at the Wizarding Faire, but that moved on to a new town, so I'd suggest if you want these special pets you head to Ohmai and HEXtraordinary. 

I had to share a close-up of my look as I fell into wonderland though... It's not really the sort of thing I can imagine Alice Liddell wearing LOL... 
The dress perhaps, from Moon Amore - a release for the past Project Limited - in it's soft yellow shade. The key necklace and bottle bag she carries are simple and pretty things, that may be useful and can be purchased before a trip to wonderland from Nomi - currently at The Kawaii Project. 
It's the other accessories that I have on which seem less Alice Liddell and more naughty porn princess however, but I couldn't resist the abrasive Love or Lust Gacha Items... They just looked so pretty with the floaty girlie dress... 
Whoever said that my wonderland would be all sweet and innocent anyway?! 

What is she wearing;
Hair Band: [ShiZZo] - Metal Bow Headbands

Ohmai, I'm Under the Sea

Hair Fair is officially open and as far as I've heard I am counting my lucky stars that I was chosen as one of the official blogging team this year... I don't mean to make anyone feel bad, but I will say to anyone that would listen that when I was sent a group invite, I nearly passed out at the fact that I'd been accepted... Things like this never happen to me, and I only hope that I can do a good job for the organisers, designers and at the end of the day, the children, in my coverage of such a brilliant and well organised event! 
I bought a total of 7 different styles from the Hair Fair this year, that's not a lot in comparison to some people I know, but for me that's a LOT... There are some from stores I'd never normally visit, some that are definitely a little more fantastical and others that I loved just because they were cute!! 

This would be one of the cute styles... It's a new release that will donate 30% of the price towards the Hair Fair Charity Wigs for Kids, from !Ohmai Salon called Tako. All of their designs for this year's Hair Fair are Sushi themed, even the freebie piglet is a Sushi Chef... 
Now I will admit that I have spent the last few days in an outfit that I bought at this month's line-up of Collabor88. Yes it's fishy themed, so I will take a few fishy jokes after admitting that I have been wearing the outfit for a few days. The dress is one from Pixicat, an Aquatic dress that is perfect for a modern mermaid, as well as these awesomely fab tights from Schadenfreude! 
I accessorised with two AWESOME new releases from my favourite stores for cuteness... These stores always seem to go hand in hand on the cute scale and I cannot ever get enough of them... It's kinda like torture... Good but torture hehe... 
The Bag I have in my hand is one that you can win yourself ig you try the Origami hunt. I will admit that this hunt was a little bit too confusing at 7am when I'd just woken up and was there for the prizes LOL... I will likely go back and try it again but until then I can share with you the awesome Schadenfreude Bagged Octopus... The other,  and possibly slightly more obvious thing, would be the Shark! It's a release from SilentSparrow for the latest round of Seasons Story, which is under the water themed lol, and I got lucky winning this RARE Bloody Great White Shark on my 4th attempt LOL... You know me and blood...

Crazy Times call for LOTS OF GLITTER!

When you're having a bad day, there is nothing that will cheer you up more than a little sparkle... In my case that works anyway, I cannot really say it is the same for everyone.
One of the sparkles that makes me smile the most, however, is in fact looking though my SL inventory and pulling together a look that I LOVE...
This look is one of those, but I will fully admit that when I started to work on it, I found myself thinking what the heck am I doing... Isn't it great that the sparkle can come from something like that?

The reason for this entire look was possibly due to one of the most bonkers items that I have been sent to blog in a long while. It's an Arcade release, one of those events that people are always crazy for, and I feel pretty honoured that I was sent a blogger pack in advance of the event - although I am kinda late with blogging it because I had absolutely no freaking idea what I was going to do with it.
The RachelBreaker HELPmeHats are a crazy collection of interesting looking baseball caps, which for the record look awesome with that newer Magika hair release called Lessons... That is your lesson for today.
I wore the crazy hat, with a matchingly crazy dress... This was a past event release from Cubic Cherry Kre-ations, and I am not sure if it is still available, but it does fit perfectly with the HELPmeHats... Then the rest of the accessories were just things that I'd dug out of my hoard... A Name Tag from DirtyStories, a SilentSparrow Betta Fish for a friend and neck jewellery from ginchi and Luas...
A perfectly crazy look for a day when I'm bored at work and need a little inject of Rainbow Craziness...

Working the YumYums Night Shift...

Sometimes I put on an outfit and think that I am going to do one thing, but then I end up wandering down a completely different path.
This was one of those times... I was sent an item from one of the awesome stores that I blog for and suddenly an anime character was forming in my head... I think it was the HUGE bow... I covered myself in blood, and fully intended to do something horrorifying...

Yet I ended up taking a part time job in the store where the shirt came from LOL...
OK so not really but this picture did make me feel a bit like the new girl coming to take over the night shift... I'm not so sure that the kitty behind the desk likes my bloody anime girl look, but I am loving this...
The HUGE bow shirt - called Bows Before Bros - is a release from yumyums for IDK this month... It comes in a huge range of bow colours and is perfect to rock that sailor moon style outfit! I accessorised that with a gorgeous pair of SilentSparrow Luna Antlers... The pretty butterflies adding something extra and the tiny BOOM Precious Bow Choker... 
But that was where the pretty stopped... I had - for some totally unexplainable reason other than my mind is WEIRD - wandered down a slightly darker path with the look than I intended... I wore dark make-up, a splattering of blood which even covered my white Czarny Kanarek mini skirt. 
Still the show must go on... One quick close-up snapshot for my employee of the month photo and voila... The Night Shift has started hehe...

Here comes a Pretty Witch...

As of late I've been a little dead, but there is always some hidden sparkle waiting to burst out... Sometimes I go rainbow Rudh, others it's Kawaii Rudh, but this time it's Pretty Rudh and I just couldn't hold it in any longer!
For my Birthday recently, my MC family took me exploring... We went to a sim called The Grand Duchy of Picklemoon, and if you haven't heard of it then you REALLY should go check it out! It was like being in my head! There is a haunted house that could actually be my brain!! Not to mention all the other areas that would make fantastic photo shoot locations. No doubt I will be going back again and again to find the best backdrops for my crazy photos!
I decided to use the location for the newest photo of Pretty Witch Rudh. After all, there is nothing better that the pretty witch likes to do than take a walk around a pretty location!!!

The pretty witch look that I pulled together started at a little shopping event called The Kawaii Project, you may well have heard of it!
It was there that I found this pretty - but so not my usual style - outfit from {amiable} called Daisy. Although the outfit comes in a variety of different colours, I went with the simple black colour to really make the daisies pop out! I dressed it with a pair of the gorgeous Kawaii Project Wingtip pumps that were a release from uber Kawaii store Katat0nik and then dug out a pretty witch hat that comes attached to the Olive Wicked Hair...
There was just one last thing... What should I have as my Witches Familiar... I couldn't choose lol I had two in mind... SO I went with both because I am greedy like that... I have two three-eyed Pixicat kittens - that I am in love with - and an adorable Spid-eek Pet Spider from SilentSparrow. I normally would never be anywhere near a spider but how can you look at my little pet and tell me he's not as adorable - if not more so - than my kittens?

Hair: Olive - the Wicked Hair in Lavender
Skin: yumyums - Hope Skin in Latte (Past Skin Fair Release)
Face Wounds: Utopiah - Excessive Pain Makeup

Follow the Wooden Stump Road...

The Arcade - unless you have been completely oblivious and have no idea what I am talking about, you may have noticed - is well underway... Up and running for the entire month of March... As always, it seems pretty brilliant and an understandable reason why people get so excited about it each and every time! It's like a feeding frenzy in a shark tank! It could have been handy for people looking to get interesting birthday gifts for me too - just sayin' lol - if I hadn't already been in and raided the place myself!
I LOVED collecting things for my little play house... This place takes me away to somewhere peaceful, somewhere fun and somewhere that I can just escape to play! So while I was setting out my new toys, I had a feeling that made me giggle, it was something akin to Dorothy's feelings as she arrived in Oz... I spend most of my time surrounded by bikers, this was a bit of "you're setting out cute toys, this seems totally opposite to normal" moment LOL...

As you can see though the entrance to my garden follows a wooden stump path - thanks to Alchemy by the way - that directs you towards my toy house! My garden has now been decorated with some awesome Lego style plastic looking flowers too. I know these aren't to everyone's taste but I couldn't resist the [tea.s] Block-ee Flowers. The inhabitants of this adorable place are plushie animals! They float in the breeze attached to balloons - such as the Fly Away Bear from Boogers - and are Petal Pals to the flowers - available from Intrigue Co at The Arcade - each smiling and giving a warm welcome to anyone who visits! 
Whilst on my trip to this strange land, something rather weird happened to my dog! What started out as a perfectly normal looking Weenie Dog - bought just a few days ago from the SilentSparrow Pet Store, found at The Arcade - in our travel to this new found land he somehow became a Weenie Weenie Dog!
On my feet were a Rudhish style pair of "Ruby Slippers" - they'd be better described as Tropicano Heels in a bright magenta colour - from Bens Beauty, now off to skip down the wooden stump road!

So to the rest of my awesome "Not Kansas Anymore" outfit... Some of it is new, some old but I think the combination is just the right amount of kookie!
The dress I am wearing is one of the older things, but it's been stored neatly away until I can find it for a moment like this. It's a Somnia release called City Scape - in a Day pattern, there is also a Night version to match, and it comes with cloudy leggings.
Then I went to town with my accessories... The horns on my head were made of Pinkberry Ice Cream - that are available from Riske at the Luck of the Irish Gacha Fair - my lips are slicked with green lipstick and dusted with sprinkles, I knew I shouldn´t have made out with that donut -  but thanks to Babysteps for letting cover their Skin Fair Release, the Baby Butter Lips! There is yet MORE yummies in the form of my (Yummy) Spec-tacular Edible Specs...
The only other thing that I took with me is a basket that I found when I landed, you never know when things like that might come in useful... You see it did with me, I found two Wonderland Pixicat Kittens that needed my help, I couldn't have taken them with me without the basket...

Christmas Trees

Christmas Trees are one of my favourite things about this time of year... I LOVE the smell of a real tree, and I love the twinkling lights... Hell I even have fairy lights up all year in our RL house, but seeing them wrapped around a tree just makes it feel more special! Hell and I will be leaving for home tomorrow very early, so I may be around a little less and anything you do see coming up is just pure luck that I've had time LOL... I doubt I will be behind a PC very much. 

Never mind that for now though, take a look at my TREE!!! Not the big one behind me, my NEW FAVOURITE Christmas Tree is Bruce the X-Fancy Spruce. I couldn't resist him, SilentSparrow set him and a paler version - without a moustache - out for Fifty Linden Friday yesterday and I couldn't get there fast enough.  
The rest of the outfit was just because I couldn't really pose naked AGAIN lol... A Red Pea Coat from Corvus, teamed with a a pretty bow collar from BOOM, and the teeniest pair of Thermal Denim Shorts from SAKIDE - which you can pick up as a gift at Depraved Nation's FROST Event! 
OH AND, the gorgeous new style from Magika called You, was my wig of choice. I LOVE this hair, it's just like how my hair was in RL when I was little hehe... 
The post from me today, is a short but sweet one... The reason is that I've already started working like a demon to try and get the wedding photos of my SL sister Rava and her lovely Hubby  Mick's wedding sorted... I took A LOT!!! Now I have a lot of editing to do!!

Come to the Creepy Carnival?!

Some people have an fear of the circus, not because of the circus itself but because of something - or should that be someone - you'd see there... I never really liked them all that much, and would purposely avoid any that I ever had the displeasure of seeing face to face, but in truth Clowns have never been the stuff of my nightmares! I can see why people don't like them, and as I said I don't actively have anything to do with them if I can, but according to Sam Winchester "apparently clowns kill", and as we all well know, if it's said on the TV then it MUST be true LOL... 
Seems though that I have NO PROBLEM dressing Rudh up as some for of creepy carnie or another, being honest with you normal clowns are the ones that freak me most, anything that looks evil I know is fairytale... If that makes any sense what-so-ever?!

My dark and macabre side is often attracted to the bright colours of the Carnival... I had been out shopping on two separate occasions with two of my bestest peoples, and the attraction of the Circus pulled me to the dark side... So of course, me being me I HAD to make a dark carnie costume LOL... 
Starting with my look, and PLEASE don't ask me why I was drawn to pink LOL I don't know! The hair is a pretty one, with it's cute and curly base, from Ploom that you can win yourself from a gacha at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival. You may see this a LOT, I have it in every colour now because I wanted a red version and couldn't get one LOL... I went with pink dipped dyes in the end because I just couldn't resist this old but still pretty Leri Miles Designs body suit! The necklace is one that seemed to fit perfectly with the look I was creating, but I will admit this is actually an older release too - I hope these things are still available! It's a necklace called Archaic from Cute Poison, who not only make the best piercings in SL - in my opinion - but also make other pretty adornments, just like this one! Then came the time to put on my carnie girl make-up... I went for a Dark Circus look, from A*S, that you can pick up now at Cirque De Seraphim! 
While on the subject of Cirque De Seraphim, I should actually start talking about my little circus friends! Eli the Elephant, in a gray version, can be picked up from the Silentsparrow booth at the Cirque, and even though I had such a hard time choosing between the colours, the fact that I can change her clothes is AWESOME! Lastly, but by no means least, the super cute little Ghost Clown Dolly from Katat0nik... I had to play the machine A LOT for this one - stupid gachas LOL - but to make it even worse Jimmy wanted one too LOL *facepalms*... ISN'T SHE CUTE THOUGH?! Go get your own at the Xiasumi School Festival before they run back to hide at the mainstore, just be aware, they are in the haunted area... Keep checking over your shoulder people hehe...

Testing for Evil...

At this time of year, with the scary season upon on, you notice people seem to really get into the holiday spirit... People who normally wouldn't dream of wearing anything but the latest fashions, are doing so in a way that now makes them look dead and evil too... AND I LOVE IT! I love seeing everyone embrace their dark side and become a little macabre, especially since in a few months time we will all be getting sparkly and Christmassified!
For me personally, the macabre and slightly dead looking is a normal way of life LOL... I tend to be more dead than alive in SL, but hey that's just the way I like it...
I did want to run a few tests on people though to find out who is evil and who is just pretending - there's a lot of evil wannabes out there LOL... Thanks to this machine I have the perfect tool, and every household should have one LOL...

Maybe I should first share my results with you...
[05:59] {theosophy} Evil Tester: We have a player!
[05:59] {theosophy} Evil Tester: Rudhmellowen Laguna is Pure Evil
As you can see, the results don't lie!!! I'm just one away from the Devil, but then I'm married to a guy called Hell so to be honest it doesn't really seem surprising does it?!
I've set the machine up at the MC clubhouse, I HAD to check to see which of them was evil or not... Turns out there are far too many good angels lol... If you wanted to come try you're luck and see your own results, you're more than welcome, or you can grab your own from a gacha machine at theosophy!
I also realised, while I was messing about with poses that I LOVE this outfit! The Anawyn Outfit from SAKIDE - and available now at the Mystic Realms Fair - is gorgeous... I LOVE the hard looking leather strapped top, with the long and oh-so-seductively split skirt. I accessorised that with some adorable Ballast Pumps in Silver from Mute, and a gorgeous bracelet and armband from aisling, called Elyan, that can be won in a gacha at The Gathering!
