Sneaky Fairy GodPossums!

I'm super tired after a long day at work today and I cannot wait until it's time for bed... I'm home now though and tomorrow I'll be having a lazy at home day... Right now though I NEED to get my brain relaxing... I'm going to put on  some old children's cartoons or something and let the colours drag me away to a happy, restful place... 

For some reason my mind started getting all excited thinking about the original, and therefore best, version of the My Little Ponies, which in turn led to my brain getting Rudh all rainbowed up and sparkling for a trip to a My Little Pony-esque world... 
A world inhabited by the Poodle Ponies - from Tardfish at the Gacha Garden until September 30th - and the MishMish Fairies, who live at the Dollhouse Castle - which is a backdrop from FOXCITY - peacefuly enjoying the happiness even though they have the occasional visit from the sneaky Fairy Godpossums - an ACCESS release from Aardvark - to steal their candies and flower petals...

No More Wizarding School

Wizarding Faire... It was one of those do I want to or do I not kinda moments... I've said it before and I'll say it again, I AM NOT A HARRY POTTER FAN! I did take a sneaky peek and found a few things that are wizardy but not Harry Potter, and then I thought of my RL little sister and well, she's potter mad, so this one is for her... 

This was taken after my years at Hogwarts were over... I tried to shy away from the Hogwarts house colours and ended up with purple... I went a little crazy in decorating my attic room - a skybox from PITAYA - with some very gorgeous and Oracle designed furnishings - available from Oubliette at the new round of Gacha Garden until August 31st - and then I stuffed the room full of some perfect Wizarding goodies, including potions from Disorderly, some precarious plants from random.Matter and some other Wizard Life goodies to remind me of my days at Hogwarts - from Wednesday, and Raindale. 

This wizard style may never have happened if a fairy godmother hadn't slipped the oubliette collection into my hands... Move over Harry Potter there's a new Wizard that's fresh outta school!

On the Beach

Summer seems to be finally on it's way in, and although I'm REALLY not a huge fan of summer - I don't like it when it gets hot - there are perks to the long daylight hours and sitting in front of a really big fan! I LOVE being able to play around on the beach with Rudh, although in RL I'd much prefer it when there's no one around like in the middle of a storm. 

Yet in SL there is nothing better than a day at the beach in a teeny bikini building sandcastles with a few friends hehe... 

Today, the friends that I took to the beach just happened to be of the furry variety... Two of my Jian made, beach loving boys - a 'dorable Dane and Beach Party Pointers - and both seem to be having fun on the beach, giving me enough time to build an epic sandcastle... 

I bought some lovely beach furniture with me, so that when I'm done building the castle I can lay back and drink a nice cold beer - actually the furniture and the bikini are both items from a gacha collection created by Petite Mort for the still running round of The Gacha Garden, which is open until May 31st so you have a few more days, and there are bikinis in various colours as well as the furniture... It's very comfy to sit in and drink a beer...

The Last of the Queen's Roses

Today I feel like doing something magically random... Not sure why, but when the mood takes you, you kinda just have to roll with it! It can happen with all different sorts of things, sometimes you get inspiration from a setting, or an outfit or even an accessory or prop, but sometimes hings just kinda come together and world's collide and you get magic... 

Before it closed, I had to take one last trip into the Queen's Garden that was a part of the Fantasy Faire, and although it's now gone I was totally in love with this sim... It was so pretty! 
So while I was there, one last time I had to unleash a little more magic, a few wishes aimed at those who the RFL was trying to assist, and a little sparkle to make me smile... Thank you to the creator of the Queen's Garden - and all of the other Fantasy Faire Sim designers! 
This magical queen stands in her towers, living her real Fairytale - I've used so many of the poses from this FOXCITY Set, if you're a lover of fairytales like me, it's a good collection! - sniffing the rose left by her prince! Her simple, yet elegant crown - a hair piece that comes with the Lamb Hair I'm wearing - is adorned by yet more roses - thanks to the Lovely Alien Rose Thorn Gacha, at Gacha Garden - plucked from her garden! The magic swirls into a frenzy and slowly, the garden, the tower and the faire fades leaving her peaceful and cherishing the wonderful memories...

Daisies, Kitties and Cake!

I did warn you there might be more daisies coming, and well I've been wearing this outfit for a few days now so I guess it was high time I shared my cuteness with the world... Normally I find cute hard to pull off... Dark and macabre YES, pretty and girlie OK, but cute cute?! Maybe you can tell me if I pulled it off ok?! 

So basically this is a kinda sorta look of the day post for me, but it's just SOOOOO CUTE and after wearing it for a few days I decided that this post had to happen. I got a little frustrated that I couldn't find the right place to pose in though, and after much grumping and wandering around I suddenly had an epiphany. The perfect, cutest and most adorable store location I knew of had this adorable little magical cafe in it's rafters... If you haven't been to MoonPhase, you should not only for the amazing items that are available but also for the setting upstairs! They have the most magical cakes!!! 
My look of the day though started out with items released by uzu - available at Flora until May 17th - and how could I pass up on it... It's Daisies, It's Yellow! It's a Win Win for me! I added some more daisies in the awesome Limerence wig, and stuck to these new kinda-sorta gifties at a discounted price from Tentacio - available at Anthem now - but it wasn't until I was playing around with the adorable Lilla's Well Loved Plushies that I found my match made in heaven! This plushie set is TOTALLY ADORABLE - available at the Gacha Garden now until May 31st - they are the kind of plushies we may have had in childhood and brought into adulthood with us. You can get them in kid sizes too, so my lil sister is now the proud owner of a well loved unicorn, but for me the kitty was a favourite!

Hair & Accessories: Limerence - Jinger Hair in Fatpack RARE

Glasses: Tentacio - Daisy Glasses (Available until May 30th at Anthem)

Excavations in the Desert

I let my mind wander away to far away places today... Drifting back to thoughts of the course that I studied during my days at University, the days when I had aspirations of becoming a world renowned archaeologist. Running excavations in far flung places and finding the most amazing reminders of the past... My mind wandered, and I ended up in a beautiful desert location, with an excavation to find the fossils of an unknown dinosaur... 

I know that Archaeology is human, and Paleontology is Dinosaur - but I've been rewatching the old episodes of Friends so blame Ross - but I fell in love with the way that my excavation site started to come to life... Like something out of the old photographs of when Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon excavated for Tutankhamun!
The site was actually a combination of things to give it that amazingly - almost Moroccan - feeling... After the Trompe Loeil Teigen Glamping Tent was set up, I threw so many items from the Petite Mort Zingara Collection around to make it feel soft and cosy, whilst remaining cool and shaded! Lastly, and well because it wouldn't be a good excavation without a few tools, I added some of the Fossil Hunter collection from Consignment and it felt perfect... Ready! 
All it needed was a cute and light outfit and I was ready... Thank you Belle Epoque - for the Anne dress -  and Lassitude & Ennui - for these awesome boots!!!

Furniture for the Royals

It's been a while since I did something that was pretty without having hints of the dark and macabre... I blame the fact that it's seemingly more accepted to be dark and scary when it's Halloween season, so today I'm doing something very girlie, a touch of the princess in me is showing, and she's living in the luxurious settings she deserves. although the rebel in her can't be totally subdued as she smokes a sneaky cigarette!

The life of luxury is partly due to the very sumptuous furnishings of the Cygnus Gacha Collection from Petite Mort - which is currently available at The Gacha Garden - it's a gorgeous and luxurious collection that comes in both blues - shown here - and gold. There's a beautiful chandelier too which is too high to be seen, I love that sumptuous royal feel!

Hair: Wasabi - Aimee Hair in Reds (Available until November 22nd at Uber) 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2 
Top: Tres Blah - Devon Blouse in White

Books on Sundays

Sundays are my favourite days for being lazy... Weekends are great that they come in days of 2, one for getting stuff done and having some fun, and a second for being a lazybutt before the perils of work the next day. I don't like doing anything on a Sunday, no chores, no crazy busy stuff, just relaxing... Breakfast on a tray, a good book, and well... that sounds like a perfect Lazy Sunday to me! 

The book I'm reading at the moment - one called The Finisher by David Baldacci - is captivating my attention, meaning it's taking me far too long to write anything that makes sense today. Though I need to find just a few minutes to show you my gorgeous new furniture collection. The set is soon to be released, you have to wait until August 1st I'm afraid, so I'm just giving you a little taster of what's to come. It's a new release from Petite Mort for the upcoming round of The Gacha Garden called Modern Bungalow. It feels like the perfect set for a modern yet cosy country style home. Everything in the photo is included in the gacha collection besides the tray and the book, which are dust bunny releases, and the house, which is from Trompe Loeil, but they add just a little extra to my feeling of a lazy Sunday!
Now if you'll excuse me, my book is calling my name... 

What is she wearing;
Hair: #Foxy - Vixen Hair in Reds 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2

Tray: dust bunny - Sweet Dreams in Morning Tray 
Book: dust bunny - Beach Day in Breezy Book 
House: Trompe Loeil - Anastasia Cottage in Grass 

A day at the Record Store

I hate Drama... It's one of the worst parts of Second Life and I swear, sometimes it's so off putting that I find myself not wanting to log in. I got back from vacation on Monday and since then it's been pouring out of the pipes due to some ignorant morons thinking that any image on the internet is available for use by anyone because it's online! 
So I'm trying to cheer myself up, by listening to music... Anything that is fun and positive, and right now it seems to be that it's mostly Take That... 

I LOVE Music, it can make you feel a huge range of emotions... It can take you up or down, and it can take you from feeling down to being high and happy. 
I LOVE this outfit too... It's a new Gacha release from Petite Mort called Record Store Day, and it's available now at the Gacha Garden. The collection is SO CUTE!!! The jackets come in two different denim colours, and the skirts are in multiple colours with lots of different accessories that make for the perfect Record Store Day... 
Now whilst I was in the Record Store, I found a copy of the new single by Take That, it's fun, positive and bouncy... Perfect for my mood... 

What is she wearing;
Hair: DOUX - Tyrisha Hairstyle in Basic Pack 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2

Making Sage to fend off Cupid

Valentines seems to be getting closer and closer and there's nothing I can do now that will get me to avoid it! I'm trying to hide, but it seems to be everywhere lol... I'm all Bah Humbug about Valentines. 
There's so much pretty stuff being released though that I can't help but getting a little bit spending happy... Just today I bought far too much valentines themed stuff... I blame dust bunny... 
Today though, I'm working on making some sage sticks, burn that Valentines shit off me!

The supplies for making the sages are on the table, along with her Voodoo Doll and Anti-Cupid Repellent - from Junk Food -  she's got a box of Love Pills too, maybe if the sage doesn't work then the Love Pills will work?! 
Now of course, while working on this magical concoction of stuff she needs to look awesome. I guess this  is really a look of the day post as much as anything. Two things besides her accessories to check out, the first being the outfit! It's an adorable set called Bisou Lingerie from Petite Mort, which is now available at anyBody, and which comes in a range of colours with some delicately pretty lace work! The second thing to look closely at are her amazing shoes, to make this easier I've added a close up below, along with a close up of the voodoo doll and cupid repellent from Junk Food. These amazing shoes are the Liaison Collaborative released from 1313 MockingBird Lane in the new and current Mardi Gras themed round.

Things that go Crack in the Night!

I woke up this morning from a nightmare, it wasn't nice and I couldn't get back to sleep... So I spent time find ways to terrorise Rudh this morning. 
I took her camping, and admittedly that's not something I'd ever do... I hate camping, I'm not good with roughing it! Rudh either, she's too much of a princess! 
When she goes camping, she hears all those creepy noises in the forest and it makes me wanna run away from it like it's a horror movie... Any little noise... A twig breaking and it's like ARGHHHHHHH RUN AWAY... 

Big scaredy Rudh is running away from the noises she heard outside her Bluebird Campsite - an old but still pretty set from Consignment - not pausing to check what made the noise... 
The poor little baby deer was just coming to get warm by her fire, but big scaredy Rudh didn't take time to get out of her sleeping bag - a gacha item from Junk Food for the Gacha Garden that ends today! 
If only she'd looked over her shoulder, what a wuss she is LOL!

What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Ciara (Current Group Gift) 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2 
Sleeping Bag: Junk Food - Sleeping Bags Gacha (Available until November 15th at the Gacha Garden)

Wonderland's Magical Shoes

After the debacle in Wonderland a few days ago, while the Wonderlandians waited under siege behind the Mirror... Alice took the Rabbit Hole way in! She's not impressed by the carnage being wrought by the Queen's card soldiers and has decided that it's time to take some drastic measures... 
Now we all know that the Hatter, is able to make magic hats, but did you know that Alice doesn't like wearing a hat?! So he made her something even better... SHOES!!! 

The 1313 MockingBird Lane Looking Glass Slippers are what he called them... They are a combination of all of the magical powers of Wonderland... A little Hatter, a little Cheshire and even a tiny amount of the Queen's magic are injected into these shoes... They are so powerful that even though she tried them without socks, she felt that socks were a must!! 
As she entered through the gates to Wonderland - at WHOLE WHEAT - her kitten Diana wandered along beside her like a bus for the Wonderland birds - she stopped and listened... Something was wrong, the tea was swirling... SHE HAD TO FIND HATTER!!!

What is she wearing;
Shoes: 1313 MockingBird Lane - Looking Glass Slippers 
Pose: NANTRA - I Protest!, Pose 4 (Available until May 31st at The Gacha Garden) 
Pet: JIAN - Chubby Cat Bird Bus 

I am a Little Upset AND I have a Sign!

Going to have to rant a bit today, but it's OK I will be nice and leave a pretty picture that says enough for those of you that aren't interested in reading one of my ranting rambles... Just scroll to the bottom as usual for the outfit details! The picture tells you enough really LOL... 

Now for the rant... 
I am getting so fed up of people telling me flat out lies... SURE if you're harbouring a secret that's fine, but don't tell me something and then tell someone else - who you know is likely to tell me - something different. I hate being lied to... It's one of those things that bugs me the most. I mean little white lies I can bear but if I ask you something important and you swear blind that it's something different, and THEN I find out I was right in the first place, please don't expect me to be sweetness and light about it. I truly hate confrontation, and I'm not keen on drama like most people, but lying seems much worse. In a Second Life family, like the Gators MC, it can be nigh on impossible to keep things hidden, and the Chinese whispers can cause more damage than they are worth... I just want people to bear that in mind, remember the fact that you choose your family in SL, and stop causing harm to those you claim to love... 
Anyway onto the outfit, and more so the pose, because without them this picture would have been totally different lol... I decided to wear this outfit from Valentina E, that I bought at a recent round of FLF, and it needed to be in a classroom... It reminded me so much of my old school uniform that no where else would work hehe. Yet it's the pose that warrants most of the credit for this picture. This is one of the "I Protest" Poses from NANTRA which is available at the current round of The Gacha Garden. There are 8 different poses available from the gacha collection, and each comes with a different sign to show the world just how frustrated you are... It was hard to choose which to use, until my rant needed to be released and then picking one happened easily LOL... 

What is she wearing;
Hair: TRUTH - Jacica (Current Group Gift) 
Glasses: Remarkable Oblivion - Talamasca Frames 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2 
Jacket: Valentina E. - Bridget Dress in Evergreen 
Pose: NANTRA - I Protest, Pose 7 RARE (Available until May 31st at The Gacha Garden) 
Backdrop: AMITOMO - Midsummer Memories GACHA in Ultra Rare1 (Available for use at Backdrop City)

Dark Magic Clan uses Blood Magic in their Cooking!!

Dark Magic... Something that I have recently thought of as that which shouldn't be dabbled in... I know a number of RL White Witches but saw first hand a reaction of one of my friends when she met someone that practised something darker, and boy was it an uncomfortable feeling... 
Yet it's the dark magic that always allures me... It's that dark magic which makes a girl feel powerful and devious, so when I'm lured to the dark side I tend to let myself go there freely - unless it's the Star Wars dark side then it's always under extreme duress LOL... 
Deep in a cave, Rudh has been welcomed as a high priestess into the Dark Magic Clan... An epic battle rages on between the Dark Magic and the Blood Magic, and it's going to be nasty, especially now we have a little of the Blood Magic's Magic!!! 

My mind can so easily go into over drive when I'm being creative it seems so it's not my fault that when I'm handed a set like this amazing Dark Magic Collection, my mind runs away with me... 
This amazing collection is a Fantasy Gacha Carnival release from the awesome Violetility. Everything you see here in this picture - Rudh excluded - is available in the gacha collection in both the Dark Magic - blue - and Blood Magic - red - versions... 
I had so much fun turning myself into a Dark Magic Mage... I wanted to be someone etherial looking, hence why I wear the flowers in my favourite new hairstyle from RunAway - at the current round of FaMESHed - and the loose body veil over the under bust corset... 
Before I disappear today though, I'm needed to work on this potion to attack our Blood Clan enemies, I do have one little confession... The "Staff" I'm holding is actually a lamp, and the pose I'm using is actually a NANTRA "I Protest" Sign Pose... I'll be showing the poses properly soon, but it just seemed to be the prefect pose to hold the lamp and make it look like I was using the Blood Magic in my spell cooking!!

What is she wearing;
Hair: RunAway - Samantha Hair in Essentials (Available until May 30th at FaMESHed)

Snails! Steeds of the Fairy Shaman!

I love when I get things that allow my mind to wander to far away fairytale, imagination lands... 
There have been a few things lately that I have simply had to have for this purpose, and this purpose alone... Sometimes you find something and it's so perfect for an idea in your head that you will do anything to get it! Normally that's OK but when it's a gacha, oh dear am I in trouble! 

It was exactly the case with this AMAZEBALLS Racing Snail, from the Hextraordinary Garden Snail Collection available at the current round of The Gacha Garden. The common pets in this series are awesome, either companion or wandering snails, but these are teeny tiny, and I had to fight for one of the big ones, the racing snails!! 
Once I had the snail though I needed a perfect look for it, and what would be better for riding a snail than a Fairy perhaps... It was at that point that I remembered the cool new release from 1313 MockingBird Lane, which was also released at a newly opened gacha event - The Fantasy Gacha Carnival, which is the Ealsaid outfits - worn in brown here but available in three other colour sets too - and that seemed perfect for the attire of a Fairy Shaman! 

What is she wearing;
Hair Accessory: Spyralle - Crown of the Bayou 
Headdress: (Yummy) - Faux Animal Skull Headdress 
Hair: DOUX - Lia in Reds (Available until May 19th at Kinky)

Angels of Love

Yesterday was his day... He like Santa, gets one special day of the year to shine and seem important, but really who is interested in a baby that flies and shoots arrows... There must be a health and safety code violation in there somewhere?!
Although I will admit, that YES It's a chance for me to play dress up, and I NEVER miss a chance to play dress up... So I did what the masses did, and dressed in red, and made myself look a bit romancy angellic lol... 

If Rudh got a freelance job working as Cupid, Cupid would look a little like this lol... A little latex, a little silk, thanks to Pixicat and Aluetia... BUT I guess the thing I'm most excited about with this outfit is that I was able to treat myself to a pair of the amazingly gorgeous Blueberry Bento Wings!!! 
It was an outfit that made me happy, even if the idea of Valentines makes me itchy LOL... Maybe I will think of myself more as an angel of love the rest of the year... YESSS that's better!

Spin the Bottle

I have a LOT of people that I feel lucky enough to call friends in my SL, but those that I am closest to I can count on my fingers. Recently, as in just before Christmas, I may have mentioned something about it back then, that the number of people shrunk dramatically. Some of it was friendly, people moving on to new things, while others were causes of great pain. So much drama for one little group as members of the Gators MC left all over the place... 
Yet from the ashes of what was left over a core group remains - Lilian, Max, Solde, HellBone, Chopper and myself - and although there are still others too, these little Gators are the ones that I keep fighting to keep the MC together for. 

Some nights with the MC can be hectic as all heck, we're a bunch of crazy silly idiots sometimes... Though I know I can count on these people. We've been through bad times, but we've come out of it together and we're stronger for it! 
We spend a lot of our SL days together, hanging out and doing random things. Sometimes we have a ride-out to behave on, but other times when we're at home we're being random... 
Yesterday was games night, we somehow ended up ordering Chinese take-out from Lost Junction and playing an impromptu game of Spin the Bottle - thanks to a new pose from Image Essentials at Truth or Dare Affair! Oh lord, did the boys cheer when I had to make out with Solde LOL...

The Gacha Garden's Hextraordinary Fae Folk

If I'm not parading around looking like either a total slut or a total weirdo, the chances are I will be playing in something fairytale magical. I also tend to at times blame my creativity on the things I'm either given or buy from all over the place in Second Life too, and today is one of those times... 
I LOVEEEEEEEE Fairies... My first few years in SL were spent living life as a fairy, as part of a draconian family, and sometimes I still love the chance to slip into something fae... 

I was so excited by the Pesky Pixies that were released from Hextraordinary at the round of the Gacha Garden... I played so much that I was even given a chance to get my hands on the Seed of Inspiration Pixie... 
Then for my outfit... The dress is actually something I've been a little naughty with... It's a Storybook Covet top that I actually bought in white. It's really awesome in white, but because I chose to wear the Sax Shepherd Designs Witch Circlet, I needed to make the dress match the jewels. So I was naughty and re-coloured the white one to fit my needs - please don't kill my Storybook staff!!

Hair: Truth - Valentina in Redheads 
Head Jewel: Sax Shepherd Designs - Witch Circlet Gacha Item in Samantha

Date Me, I'm a Chicken Expert

It's the month of LURRRRRVEEEE... Valentines seems to be taking over everything in SL and even though it's a fun tradition, I am not really that into Valentines... I'm much more of an Anti-Valentine. 
Though recently I got sent some poses, which are based on the TV Series, The Bachelor. Now I'll admit I've not seen a full season of this series but I know how the show works, and have seen other variations of it... My mother in law is constantly talking about a Dutch version called "Boer zoekt Vrouw" (Farmer seeks a Wife)... Though I've always rooted for the somewhat weird, kinda kookie ladies! So going back to the set I mentioned well... 

I had to pick the kookie one from the 8 different contestants available! 
Of all the candidates available, there are socialites and free spirits, smart and feisty girls, but Rudh is a Chicken Expert... Ask her about chickens, she knows... Ask her about something else and you'll get a vague look!! You can get the get these poses, the Ultimate Catch Series from NANTRA at The Gacha Garden until February 28th. 

What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Lilo in Redhead  (Available until February 23rd at Uber) 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2

Pants: Addams - Jane Denim Overoll in N*33

Warming my Tootsies

When I'm blogging there are usually two ways I look at things... Things that I have been sent by the designers I work for take priority, but sometimes I see myself in an outfit that I NEED to share because I really love it as an outfit. I guess these are when I work on something that is my own version of a look-of-the-day type post. I'm not good at straight up fashion photography, all my pictures need to tell a story for me to be able to enjoy them, and sometimes those look-of-the-day things are brought to life by the discovery of the perfect setting... 
Today's post is one of those things... 

I was looking through a collection of amazing location pictures on Flickr and stumbled across a location called I [SL] Amsterdam. It's BRILLIANT! A small location, granted, but it feels so like the Amsterdam that I live in, it's just like taking Rudh out into the City around my home. It's one of those places that it's creator - Inkie Loudwater - seems to have put a lot of thought and effort into making feel alive, and I cannot wait to see how things change with the seasons in this gorgeous place. No doubt I will find myself back here at certain points too!
This outfit though is one that I am LOVING... It's a simple outfit and yes in the snow it's funny to see Rudh in shorts and a T-Shirt, but that's the beauty of SL, you don't get cold LOL... The Top is from Pseudo at the current round of Kustom9 called "Knot the one". While I was at Kustom9, I had to try my luck for a pair of The Winter Boots from Juju, and luckily got a pair of gray leg warmers, that looked like I'd been able to pull my cold feet from these lovely shiny red boots and warm my toes by the fire... 
It was a perfect location to sit and warm my feet... Now all I need is a warm cup of Chocomel! 

What is she wearing;
Hat & Hair: Doe - Ruby in VI Gingers (Available until November 30th at The Gacha Garden) 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
