Rudhbow Brite!

I am an 80's child, born in 1986 and raised through the 90's I look back on my childhood fondly. I've been thinking about having children of my own lately, and although I love kids I wonder what kind of Mum I'd make. I'm still too much of a kid mentally, I love doing things that are childish and I wonder would I be any good if I had to be the example... It's not something that I need to think about, it won't be happening for a while... 
I'll just use the time to look back on my childhood and one of my favourite characters... Rainbows are EVERYWHERE in SL at the moment, thanks to Pride, but there's always ONE Rainbow that sticks out... 

RAINBOW BRITE was one of my favourite characters, and I LOVED her stories, her companions and her colourful happy nature... 
I will never be able to make a perfect version, but today I pay homage to Rainbow Brite, in my own Rudhbow Brite... Like Rainbow Brite I've some amazing companions, a rainbow Unicorn Balloon - created by Aardvark, available at ACCESS - that she rides through the clouds, whilst her Juicebox companions - created by MishMish and available at Kustom9 - float along with her in their "Up Up & Away" Mini Hot Air Balloons - from Simply Shelby, available until June 22nd at Cosmopolitan...

Magically Baking

Pride is a month of parties, Pride is a month of celebration for those that are different, a rememberence of a fight for equality that still has people hiding away, acting like something they are not and not living the life they want to enjoy. If anyone is needing someone now or in the future, sometimes a stranger can provide the best support, and I want people to know I'm here to be that person... 
On a happy note though, since Pride is about celebration I find myself wondering about cake... Rainbow cake for a rainbow party... 

Cupcakes are delicious... Covered in Icing and PERFECT for parties that one of the most special of rainbow fairies is busy in the fairy kitchen whipping up all kinds of rainbow cakes... Rainbow Cupcakes - from Junk Food - and towering tiered rainbow cakes...

Spring Fairy holds the Key

I'm still not a happy bunny as my computer is still something that HellBone is slowly working on fixing, I'm just having to test my skills and try to use Hell's computer to take some pictures are get my blogging caught up on... I needed to get some things done, and this was the only way, I'm not sure that I am overly happy with the results, but we'll get things back to the way that they should be... 
I wanted to do something a little magical and take my mind off everything real life that is bringing me down, and let my inner fairy out to play... I used to convince myself I was a mermaid at heart but I think recently that may have shifted, now I feel much more confident in a pair of sparkly wings full of colour and magic... 

All of the seasons have their own magical feelings, and each of them is remarkable in their own way, but for some reason Spring seems to be more magical than most seasons. It's the time when things come to life, the flowers bloom and the sun starts to warm up... I love the sun this time of the year, it's warming without burning, and the light dances in pretty sparkling rays... 
The Spring Fairy dances through the light beams assisting the flowers to sprout, they come out all over her skin, today it just happens to be daisies, and dancing with her adorable little butterfly buddies - from MishMish - all the while she guards the keys in her Keys Antlers - available until June 3rd at Enchantment from Boutique #187 - these are the keys to the secret garden that she protects with her magic...

My Brother Kris

I took a picture of me and my brother a while ago, and have been a little slow about posting it... There's all kinds of reasons as to why, and they won't be something that I discuss here - purely and simply because I'm not involved and only there as a support for the people that are - but I guess I was slow in sharing this because I didn't want to get caught up in any kind of fallout. I love and care for all of the parties involved, and didn't want anyone to think that I was picking a side, because that's really not the case, but my brother know's what he's done and what I think of him after all of this... 

He's a freaking - and that's the polite version of what I called him - idiot, but he's still my brother. I chose him as such - it's one of the beautiful things about SL, that you can pick the people you call family - although I hope that he's learnt a valuable lesson in all this drama... 
Anyway let me introduce you... This is Kris, my Idiot Brother. He's the most accident prone, poop obsessed - an obsession he shares with my hubby you'll notice - weirdo that I could have chosen, but if you know anything about me then I'd expect you know we seem to match pretty well as siblings LOL... Kris can and does cause himself accidents with the most basic of household activities - if you're lucky enough to meet him, ask him about the shower incident - and I guess the main reason that he keeps me close is because I help him fulfil a need to poop... Every time he's around me, without fail, Kris has to go!! It's like I'm magic or something?! So that's the reason we're now Brother and Sister LOL... 
Kris is one of the Gators MC, it's how we met, and he's become a real family member since he joined - he joins Blake and Gary as one of my crazy brothers - and although we pick on each other, I'm sure I can say he'll always be the Pissy to my Turdh... Just so long as he can stop himself being a freaking idiot?!

Freebies at the Fair of Hair

Hair Fair 2016 starts in just a few short hours and I have to say there are lots of lovely wigs for the ladies - and gents - that are Hair Obsessed... All in the name of a great cause. 
Now over the next few weeks I'll be sharing some of the awesome degsigns that I picked up, long and updos and even a few shorter ones, and I will be explaining more about the cause, but I wanted to share with you some of the gifties that are available at the event. 
My favourite gifts from all four of the sims... 
First up... Backlot Central... 

This is a hairstyle that is available from Blues, and I LOVE it... You can buy it as a donation item with a hud to change the design of the hat, but I wanted to share the special gift which supports the cause of the event - Wigs for Kids. 
Then Backlot East...

This is a hairstyle from KoKoLoReS called Rue, and it has the Rachel look to it... Ya know the friends style that was soooooooo popular all those years ago. I'm also wearing the (fashionably dead) giftie which is the cute choker - or the Sweet Bow Choker - which comes in a set of a few colours! 
Third sim on my list is Backlot North... 

This hairstyle is the gift from Phoenix called Gracia, which screamed as something that was perfect with the amazing Moustache from Valient. 
Lastly, the Backlot West... 

The Amacci Hair is a cute updo that I couldn't resist sharing in pretty pinks, and it looks adorable with the pretty Hair Bow from Stealthic. 
So those are my favourites, but there are LOTS and LOTS more! The Freebies aren't the only reasons to head into the fair though so please don't miss a chance to take a look around the sims...
