Something a little prettier today, less gore which is strange for me at this time of year but a post with a heart and a very important message to share. I've mentioned it a few times but if you haven't seen or heard the information there is a special shopping event to raise money and awareness for a wonderful cause "Operation Delta Dog"... If you haven't been over to take a look at the event, you should, there are some cute things and 100% of all of the proceeds go to raising money for this awesome cause...
My picture today was taken whilst I took my Countryside Collie for a walk in the Skull Creek Countryside - this location is home to the Ghost Bullys MC, organisers of the event, and it's open to the public to check out but please bear in mind it's MC land!
The outfit I'm wearing for my Rally to Rescue look of the day - I guess you could call it that - is one made by my own MC Sister, Solde Rothmanay - for her store Soul Designs. The top comes in a range of different paw print colours and the entire outfit can be bought at the Rally to Rescue, meaning there is a 100% donation to the charity from anyone that purchases it!! It's cute and helping a great charity, how awesome is that?! Also, when worn with some cute boots and a cowboy hat, it seems PERFECT for getting into country girl mode hehe...
What is she wearing;
Hat & Hair: Truth - Montana in Redhead
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Outfit: Soul Designs - Missy Shorts Outfit (Available until October 20th at Rally to Rescue)
Shoes: [MODA] - TYE PLATFORM WORKBOOTS

I know that Halloween is now over, and I know that there have been so many monstrous looks on my blog this past month, but I want to let you know now that they will not be stopping just yet... I have plans and MUCH more to share with you LOL... So hold on to your hats, the Monsters are still coming!
You should know me by now, I LOVE playing dress-up, this month a lot of my monsters have been kinda dark but there are also a few light comical monster mes that should be shared with you... LOL This one could fit in at my favourite - wish I'd had them instead of stupid Barbie when I was a kid - RL Doll Range, Monster High! I'd fit right in with this look I'm sure hehe...
The location - Halloween Town - was totally perfect for this photo backdrop... Unfortunately the sim is no longer available to visit as the team behind this location have stripped it bare and started to work on their Christmas Extravaganza! I cannot wait to see that, the thought that Christmas is coming so fast totally scares me but hey ho...
With her Just for Kicks Hairstyle - a Clawtooth original - and her dripping dolly wounds - some of my favourite scars from antielle - this little Cyclops Monster is really rocking the shocking red and green combination! I LOVE THE COMBINATION lol... The shocking green of this Soul Designs "Meghan" Split Tank when I put it with the red hair and then accessorised it with this adorable Eyeball Bag and pair of crimson Mina Heels from Reign, brought such a huge smile to my face... The icing on the cake however was this AMAZING Cyclops Mask... It's a Freebie - believe it or not - from Schadenfreude for the Trunk or Treat event, and the eye can be changed to a selection of different colours! Green had to be the colour I chose but the red looks scary too!! Such an awesome free gift - free is such a wonderful word isn't it! What an awesome way to start a week!
Then seeing her strut around this adorable little Halloween Town was just perfect!!! I couldn't help but share it with you!!!

For those of you that might have been living under a rock, or haven't been paying attention in any case, I would just like to take a few minutes of your time to say "OH MY FREAKING AMAZING HAIRBALLS... HAIR FAIR 2015 IS COMING IN TWO DAYS!"
I am bouncing around on the edge of my seat, I've been given access to the blogger group meaning I will be running around like a crazy mofo on the 10th while I have the chance to get in when it's quiet!!
But let me give you a little more information about the event itself...
The information I decided to give you comes from the Official Press release, shared with bloggers today by the organisers... Please take a few moments to read, and then over the month of July you should come and check out the wigs...
"Hair Fair opens 11th July closes on the 26th of July.
Every transaction made at Hair Fair will donate a portion to Wigs for Kids, the charity of choice for Hair Fair 2015.
Bandana Day is 26th of July where we remove our hair to show we care. All bandanas sold at hair fair have been created by Residents all over SL and 100% of sales of those go to Wigs for Kids, and are only available for sale during this event, and destroyed after it ends. They will be transfer, so you can gift them." For more information, please check their website!!
Wigs for Kids is a brilliant charity... The money raised is used to provide wigs for children who have lost their hair due to cancer treatments. I love that this will be giving confidence to those children when they need it most. So I personally cannot wait to get my hands on the new hair released for the event! I plan on buying LOTS hehe!!!

It's not very often I am able to take pictures of more than just myself, but recently I had the urge to share with you more than one outfit from my sister Solde's store Soul Designs... I wanted to show as much of her stuff as possible in one photo and what came out was something that was not only pretty good, but actually reminded me of a United Colours of Benetton Ad LOL...
I pulled in some of my MC sisters - Solde included - and the outcome was brilliant, it was fun to be able to use other people in my photo and it was a great way to show off some of her brand new releases!
I personally am wearing the Carla Dress in a very gorgeous yellow tone, I was feeling so cute in the dress I even did the unthinkable for a few minutes and took my scars off LOL... BUT it's not just me, all of the girls in the photo are wearing Soul Designs. Some of the looks are complete outfits, and others are mix and match pieces, but as you can see the collection is very versatile and that is one of the great things about Solde's store. No matter what look you tend to go for, no matter how you want to wear it, these things are GREAT pieces that are well textured and would be perfect for any wardrobe...
As a side note, the jeans that Tila is wearing - the one on the floor in the front if you don't know - give me the best butt EVER!!! They come in black too and those are now my basic, staple go-to jeans because the butt... AWESOME!!! LOL!!!
As another note, Soul Designs has a booth at the up-coming Fashion For Change Event. This event is to raise aid and awareness for women kind worldwide. So go shop, treat yourself ladies and help to raise awareness for a great cause. OH and check out the wall of Soul Designs too LOL...
What is she wearing;

So it seems that Spring is in the air, that feeling of romance is taking a hold and couples are springing up everywhere LOL... It's not just me that has mentioned the Spring Thing... My sister Solde mentioned that her maternity collection is suddenly seeing a lot of attention too!
Still, I have been surrounded by new couples this week... It's like I cannot move without getting in the way of their soppy, cuteness... Not that it's a bad thing, but both HellBone and I have reached for a sick bucket in the last couple of days LOL...
It does however promote a prime opportunity for me to both practice my photo skills, whilst showing off some of the new poses from Signature Pose... Just have to hope that the crazy looking Photo Bomber doesn't get in the way of the shots?!
Tila and Mongo were spotted sneaking off into the bushes together LOL, and she really doesn't look pleased that I spotted them... I decided that it was better to keep my head down and let them gaze "Into the Sunset" together...
I jumped on my noble steed and rode away from the TilaMongo Tryst heading on down the road... Well hello what is this that I spied in one corner... My adopted Mum - long story and it may come out later lol - KaraD and her new man-shaped play thing, LittleOutlaw. Of course, me being a little brat I had to get in the way of their posing for a photograph, mum was all "Hold me Close" and I was like BLEHHHHHHHHH... Oh well Hi-Ho Silver, AWAY!!!
I went in search of people that weren't going to be soppy new couples... AH HA, my little brother Athrun I thought... When I found him, he and his lady Shery were having a bit of a romantic reunion of their own, something like "One Night in Paris" perhaps?... Dammit... LUCKILY there was a handy Frozen cardboard box close-by that I could just curl up in, until the sickly sweetness stopped and I could sneak away...
But what was I going to do with myself... All of my usual people to annoy were busy doing couples things... THEN I REMEMBERED MAY OLD KITE!!!
I was being good, just minding my own business of kite flying, when it dragged me across the sim... There have been some very strong wings blowing across the Netherlands in the past few days! It wasn't my fault... But OH BUGGER! I accidentally got caught in a very special moment for my big sister Solde and big brother Chopper - OK yes I know it sounds weird but it's Biker family, not incest LOL - and well Oh crap I'm in big trouble now...
I hid in the clubhouse and waited to be told off by the disgruntled couples LOL... Solde passed me a sick bucket and that was luckily all the telling off I got... PHEW... I dodged a bullet on that one...
BTW... Tila and Mongo are not a couple! They were two bodies that were hanging around at the time of the photo session. Tila is another of my Biker sisters and Mongo happens to be a stalker from the DDMC lol... Both did make awesome models however!
OH AND Solde and Chopper are not getting engaged, although she did try to cause a bit of a stir on facebook with the photo... At least not yet anyway, who knows what the future holds!
Thank you to all of the lovely couples, thank you for letting me photo bomb you LOL...

For the last three months, my fab designer sister - Solde Rothmanay - has asked such an amazing favour of me I have been a little flabbergasted to be honest. She had ads within a widely read SL modelling magazine called ModeLS - check out page 65, THAT's ME!!! LOL - and she had asked if I'd like to do the pictures for her!
When am I ever going to have an opportunity like that again? So I said yes! The first month was a look fit for a shopping Diva, the second an anti-Valentine, and now...
This dress cried out for a bit of a hippy look... So flowers in my hair, flowers everywhere - check out Wanderstill, Ode if you don't know it! - and a bright, fun, summery dress to call in the warmer season in a gorgeous yellow colour... The dress is gorgeous, not a brand new release any more - though it was when the photo was being taken - the Soul Designs Marsh Retro Dress comes in a selection of different colours, but each has that summertime feeling!
Just a side note, this is possibly the last time you will see me, human and unscarred for a while LOL... I feel so naked in this photo and I am fully dressed... Weird how that works huh?!

Calling all the Monsters, the Cotton Candy Monsters... Have you heard about a little store that is made just with you in mind?? I mean, I've discussed the store before... Sharing their monsterous designs with you, but it's now time to throw them in your face once again and pull you all along with me to the cottonCANDYmonsteR store!!!
Recently there have been a fair few releases from CCM... Pretty, cute, kawaii stuff with a monstrous edge, that perfectly sums up Rudh mentality half the time!! The other half of the time I'm pretending to be a Zombie Biker Chick LOL...
Two of the releases really caught my attention, I wore them since I received them and before too long I realised I'd been lazy and not shared the look with you...
The Upper Half of this look is all about the CCM, but I do just want a quick fly by mention of these new black versions od the Daisy Bell Bottom Jeans from Soul Designs. Solde says they are not an official release yet, but I LOVE the shape of these jeans so don't miss them when they do appear!
Anyway back onto the cottonCANDYmonsteR stuffs!!! There are two things that need to be shared here, besides the gorgeous entrance into CCM itself of course...
Normally I would NEVER be seen as a blonde, but the My Little Pony Hair releases from CCM are all showing roots in this colour, I had no choice hehe... Their long length covers a multitude of sins, while the candy coloured dip dyes give them that hippy summer girl look that I cannot get enough of at this time of year!
The other item is MUCH more like something I'd normally grab in a store... The Puff Monster Hoodie in its Punky TokiDoki print is super cute! It comes in 5 different designs, but I loved the black and white one most, possibly because it makes the eyes and spines of this monster hoodie seem so much more obvious!!!
Just to warn you, the hair does NOT actually fit with the hoodie, I had to be naughty and Photoshop the back, but it's so cute such a LONG pretty style!
If you haven't checked out cottonCANDYmonsteR yet, and you claim to be someone who loves cute kawaii monsters then you are missing out... DON'T DELAY!!!
What is she wearing;
Hair: cottonCANDYmonsteR - My Little Pony Hair in Purity Heart
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Past Collabor88 Item)
Hoodie: cottonCANDYmonsteR - Puff Monster Hoodie in TokiDoki Punk
Jeans: Soul Designs - Daisy Bell Bottom Jeans in Black
Pose: Ploom - Bones 2 (No Longer Available!)
Horror Haute is here again, and this time the theme is kinda close for the theme of the entire month of February... This time we are looking at the Dark Duets - romance within the dark, macabre and sometimes horrific genre that we all love.
NOW before I go on with my post today I want to admit something. Right now I feel like I have been run over by a truck. My hubby - the one that I truly share my life in a Dark Duet with - has actually given me his "man flu" and I am barely hanging on...
There will be more to come but I think for the first time ever in the history that I have been blogging Horror Haute, my look at the offered goodies is more of a fashionista style than anything I could have done otherwise... I actually quite enjoyed doing it this way, I blame it on the set of poses that are available but I will talk about those in more detail later... For now, enjoy my Horror Haute fashion run down hehe...
From left to right we go then, and onto talking about my first look of four...
This Dark Duet based outfit has a touch of the Romeo and Juliet... A classic Dark Duet from the great Mr William Shakespeare... This cute cami from Seddy's Creations with it's R&J icon print on the front is actually super cute... From the back - a view I didn't share I'm sorry - the straps come together and down the back attached to the shirt with a heart!! I added some Non-Horror Haute, but still worth getting your hands on, vinyl abstract leggings from [ abrasive ] and a little Cute Poison Spooky necklace, but then to complete the first of four fashionish looks I added the cute, but in true Horror Haute interesting looking Tasty Pudding Mina High Heels!!!
My second outfit was a little simpler... Based on Miss Firefly - though I will be honest I am not entirely sure where that comes from or what it is - this outfit is the female look from SongBird for the Dark Duet theme. As you may well have guessed there is a Mr Firefly version too!!! I decided to add just a touch more blood, using a pretty kit from Ama. and as a finishing touch a little nod to my girlie side with a Lost Junction collar I bought recently in bright electric colours called Berlioz.
Next comes what is possibly my most fantasy style outfit for this round... That being said there may be more to come but for now let's say this is my most fantasy based look... It features two very gorgeous Horror Haute items!! The dress is part of a Dark Duet - one of my favourites in fact - from a little movie called The Corpse Bride. Based on the style of Miss Victoria Everglot, the Crushed Violets dress would look awesome when teamed with someone wearing the Victor Vandoort male outfit!! As I didn't have a Victor, I decided to dress things up a little, adding the ImmateriA Dark Masquerade Poulpe Cloak and Collar, though there is more to come from this outfit later LOL, I think! Then for just a little touch of flair, I pulled on a bracer from an Axix set - which you can find at The Fantasy Collective - and a tiara that was a past Witching Hour release from [TfAtN].
Lastly and by no means least, the relaxed "going to work" look lol... This started all because of the Stargazer Creations release... The Bates Motel Staff shirt was something that I couldn't ignore... I was going to wear it no matter what LOL... So I made it a comfortable work uniform, adding a pair of rather clean and girlie jeans from Soul Designs, and some cute accessories too!!!
Before I wrap up this post though there is just one more thing that needs an honourable mention... Dimma Poses! These awesome poses, which I used to creation my fashion catalogue today, are available as a set. The Poor Yorick Pose Set, is available with all the other Horror Hautey things this month...

Cupid came and went this month, without too much pomp and ceremony in my house... I bought my hubby some yummy chocolates in RL and something that I will show you later in SL because I couldn't resist and it was just PERFECT for him!
We both bought exactly the same card for each other in RL too, is that serendipitous or not? Fated to be together as we have the same poor sense of humour at times!
BUT, there have been a lot of sad emotions in our family in SL that spill into RL too as of late... One of our sisters gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on February 2nd, only to see her die in her arms 5 days later, so as you can tell emotions are very highly charged. I, myself, am prone to massive outbursts of tear shedding, so even though this set of PJs is blaming a little naked baby, I am not crying for him I'm crying for another!
The PJs themselves are the creation of another Sister of mine... Solde Rothmanay... She owns a little store called Soul Designs, and was even up for an award in the SL Awards recently in the "Best New Designer" category! I think that she suggested these would be available at the Depraved Nation Thrift Shop but I can never be sure?! I will ask her and find out, but they are perfect for this time of year and for anyone who has been burnt by a little flying baby!
The rest of my outfit and props were set dressings... I put a LOT of time into making this feel right, to match the sentiment of the PJs message... Curlers in my hair - Ploom Style - Stressed and tired Eye Make-up, thanks to KOSH, and the basic retreat behind an Avocado Mash, a Ten Penny creation, and I flopped out on a cute but somewhat forgotten kids style bed I had saved for a rainy day!
A polaroid photo of my hubby in hand. a Goodbye I'm Done bear dropped on the floor - don't worry Hell and I are not done by the way! - and other accoutrements of sadness including a Box of Tissues, which I believe were a past Arcade Prize from [Commoner], and a Magic Nook Hot water bottle, and I curled up for a much needed cry!!!
What is she wearing;
Hair: Ploom - Recycle
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Past Collabor88 Item)
Red Eyes: KOSH - Too Much Stress in Past Surgery
Face Mask: Ten Penny - Avacado Mask
PJs: Soul Designs - Cupid Set
Props & Pose:
Pose: Boudoir - Blood splatter on floor with dead poses
Polaroid: Malizz Yiyuan creation - Polariod
Tissue Box: [Commoner] - Break-Up Survival Kit in Box of Tissues Blue (Past Event Item)

Teddy: LOTE - Teddy Bear in Goodbye, I'm Done
Bed: Awesome Blossom - Spring Dreams Bed (Past Hunt Prize)
A couple of weeks ago now, one of my dear friend's and sisters, Miss Solde Rothmanay and I were chatting about some stuff that was coming up for her store, Soul Designs! If you haven't heard of the store, I will admit to you that being 100% honest it's not really my usual style - it's stuffed full of cute, fashionable everyday wear with a hint of class and a lot of Solde's awesome style peppered throughout. Anyway, we were chatting about something she'd designed and said would I try it... I jumped at the chance... FREE CLOTHES HECK YES!
The plan was it was to be released as a hunt prize - although as plans go this one never made it to that final goal and it was released in store instead hehe - and Solde wanted to spread the word... Course I was going to help her if I could.
I pulled on the dress, and instead of going my normal macabre route, something kicked in and I went girlie fashionista... Maybe it was Solde's influence, I mean the dress with it's skully design screamed for me to go macabre, but that never happened... I'll blame Solde for it, it's easier than me admitting that I subconciously went girlie?!
I'll discuss the outfit in a minute, but here is the biggest and most exciting bit! When I shared my photo with Solde, prior to even editing in any way, shape or form, she asked if she could use it in an ad... I thought cool I may be hung on the wall of her store or something, but no what she had in mind was MUCH cooler!!! Not that being hung on the wall of her store wouldn't be cool, but she asked if she could use my photo in a magazine ad!
The Magazine - called ModeLS - was published yesterday. Solde excitedly told me, and shared with me the online version that you can see here - check out page 21, thats yours truely YAY! - or you can pick up a copy in world at her store, Soul Designs... I know that I will be heading over there to grab one ASAP! I couldn't believe it when I looked though, we're wedged between the contents page - SO very early on in the publication - and an ad for Vero Moda!!!
Let's just take a few minutes out from 'fangirling' to discuss my look, seeing as it is something that is necessary hehe...
The dress is a Soul Designs dress, called Jayne, in case you hadn't realised by now... I've said it before, but I will say it again, the designs that come from Solde's store are not my normal choices BUT each item you buy, I can guarentee, will be well made and something the designer herself would be proud to be seen wearing! The rest of the outfit was dressing to accessorise the dress... I couldn't decide between boots or shoes, but these HollyHood Bellanice Boots in white seemed to work really well. with my hair hanging loose in a Clawtooth style, a super long Gold R necklace from :sey and some HUGE pair of earrings that have been collecting dust in my hoard from Aura - which has long since closed but you may find the earrings are still available on the marketplace. Lastly all it needed was a pair of over-sized sunglasses, as any fashionista would pull on to protect her eyes whilst emerging from a store with arms laden with shopping bags. Cue the Pure Poison Rockin Mesh Spiked Sunglasses, and this new found fashionista is ready to carry on her shopping trip!
I am honoured that Solde liked my photo enough to want to use it as one of her ads, she's even asked me to do another one for her... I'm so excited, thank you for this opportunity honey!

Hair: Clawtooth - Fade Into You (Past Arcade Item)

The Gator Maze is being pulled down today... Swallowed back into the mists of HellBone and Jimmy's collective hoards, only to see the light of day again, when they pull something out of their minds for next year's extravaganza. Apparently it will be MUCH bigger and take 6 months of planning, but I will believe that when I see it happen!!!
Still I had time to make one last extra special photo!!! A photo of the craziest lady in the Gators MC - yes unfortunately that would be myself - in the room that she designed, wearing something that came as a moment of HUH?!
A couple of days before I set to work creating this photo, HellBone had shared with me - and a few of the others in the MC - a photo that he had seen on facebook... Vajayjay Dresses (Yes I am being PG, though lord alone knows why LOL)!
This prompted so many giggles amongst the MC, especially because one of the rooms within the maze actually featured a giant vajayjay! Me being me, and knowing that one of our girls - Solde Rothmanay to be precise - was a designer of clothing with her own store, I jokingly suggested that she made one! BOY DID SHE MAKE ME A VAJAYJAY DRESS!
The Soul Designs Muff Dress - made by Solde to meet my challenge - is simply gorgeous. A pretty, feminine, long white dress - with an attachable vajayjay! Clever bit of marketing that, meaning you can go with or without the giant accessory LOL...
The rest of the look I kept fairly simple - by Rudh standards anyhow! - wearing the Vamp version of the Voodoo hair by little bones, which I believe is still available now at Uber, though I am not sure when that will change, and a gorgeous new necklace called Avera from KOSH in a pewter tone!
Just one thing that I failed to remember at the time... I wonder if I put on underwear??! LOL...

Hair: little bones - Voodoo in Vamp (Available now at Uber)
Skin: Glam Affair - Candy Skin in America 09 (Past Arcade Item)
