My Own Personal Wonderland

Do you ever put an outfit on, and find yourself disappearing into a mindspace that leads you to a totally different world... I had planned to get creative, I was going to aim to get multiple pictures done today but once I put on the first outfit I wanted to blog, I was lost to my own crazy mixed-up dreamlike version of Wonderland... 

What would my version of Wonderland be like? How would Rudhie in Wonderland differ from the world created by Lewis Carroll that Alice got lost in... My Second Life is a world made up of weird and wonderful things... Rainbow sparkles lead to dark, deadly corners, and crazy moments of magic, but would Wonderland be any different or just MUCH MORE of the same?! 
I think there would definitely be a tea party of sorts, one with lots of cake and plenty of hot tea to be drunk from pretty tea cups on mismatched saucers. There would be bunches of Monstrous Elegance - which is represented by the Monster's Feast and the Beastly Visions sets from Nylon Outfitters at Collabor88 - and some of my own cute furry friends with the Chesire Cat being replaced by a HUGE Fluffy Unicorn - from Tardfish - and of course I'd look FABULOUS in my own version of Wonderland... The idea is sparkling through my mind, and I know what I'll be dreaming of tonight...

Ready to Hustle

I've been having a lovely lazy Sunday, it's great when things are few and far between and I get to have a lazy day. I fed the washing machine, and then decided to get myself busy... I was going to get my hustle on, a chance to make a little cash and get into the action, while having myself some fun along the way... 

I'm gonna get my hustle on, I wanna go learn something new... I am going to learn all about the game of Pool so that I can become a pool shark... There's a brand new Pool Hall opened up in the Cocktails & Dreams Bar - a backdrop created by Synnergy.Tavis - but if you ook for the weird guy in the white t-shirt, he will teach you all the tricks of the trade for a cut of the profits... 
One thing he taught me was to look cute but casual, dressing up too much might make me seem like too much of a trickster, so cute but casual it is... Some simple but decorated Sweet Soul Jeans - which happen to be a new release from The Kiwi Co and although the release also includes a cardigan and boots, it's the pants that win the coo points from this reease for me - and a comfy but giving a cute reveal  of a little skin in the form of a Tuli Sweater - from miss chelsea - on top and I think I am ready to hustle in the pool hall and win the big bucks, or at least a drink or two...

A Magical Grim Gourmet

A new year is the perfect idea for a fresh start and that means it's a time to move on from things that aren't happy and that means getting rid of things that aren't good for us. I HATE the thought of hurting anyone but sometimes I've just gotta do what's best from me... This isn't aimed at ANYONE in particular, it's not aimed at anything... It's more of a reminder to help me get through things that make me sad... 
I found the perfect way to make me feel better, and getrid of the evidence all at once... 

During a bout of time within the Insomnia Kitchen, I found the perfect solution to any problem I NEEDED to get over. It came to me while I was cooking a chilli, as soon as I opened the spices in the spice rack, a cloud appaeared that started to sparkle and suddenly a magical MadCat - which happens to be an Exclusive available from MadPea at the MadPea Unlimited Sim where you can play 10 immersive adventures including the thrilling new crime adventure "The Naughty List Murders", and I may just see you there hehe - appeared... This MadCat began sharing dangerously devious, but equally practical ideas in ways to get rid of bodies... Soup and Pasta Sauce being the top of his list...It was going to be a very Grim Gourmet - thanks to the adorable outfit from everfaery I'd stay a little cleaner I hope - and I guess that it was lucky I'd been in a bit of a fight and someone had died in a chair right there in my kitchen...

Hair: MINA Hair - Nimue

My Own Roaring 1920s!

Sometimes I do a little random. Sometimes I do things that get lost of the realms of high fantasy. Sometimes I do things that are a litte more grounded in realism, although those things my be based on stories of their own too... No matter what I do it's always done with love and happiness and it makes me smile to do whatever I feel like... Today I went with a story from someone else's mind, and an event theme that was a little outside my usual ball park... 

Normally I feel more like I should avoid anything Art Deco, but when the Anthem line-up was announced to be Great Gatesby themed ca me intrigued. I more often than not vere towards designs that are more Art Nouveau, than Art Deco - they are easy to tell apart Art Nouveau looks like it's been made by the elves, Art Deco is more harsh lines and bold prints and looks more like it's been made by the dwarves - but this was interesting, and even though I'm not really a Great Gatesby fan, I kinda liked what I did!!! 
Come take a trip with me to the Voyeur Rooms - the keychain is older but still awesome from Krescendo - and grab yourself a glass of Champagne - from Junk Food - at the 1920's fanciest hotel...

A New Year of Magic

Still early days for the new year and still very early days for me beig back to blogging after the Christmas period...
I lost a sponsor today, someone that I have been working with since 2019. I feel like the reason was something that could have been told to me sooner, something that I would have been able to improve on, but apparently I wasn't worth the effort to them... So I'm going to find my own magic now, and move off to bigger and better things... Loyalty and consistancy mean nothing, people claim SL Blogging isn't a numbers game yet the magic seems lacking somewhat... I know my style isn't for everyone, I know I don't get the numbers that some people do, but I put all of my love and magic into my little art pieces... I love what I create... 

If people aren't appreciative of your magic, are they really worthy of your time? Granted my magical creations are all over the place and I will never be one of those bloggers that can just do a basic pose - there are thousands out there if that's what you want, and I'm not knocking anyone's creations when I say that by the way, we all have our own preferences - but I like to tell a story, create a little sparkle and if others enjoy what I do then that makes me happy... I create my pictures, my little magical sparkles, as a form of therapy... 
I'll stand in my tower, creating my magic and letting everything sparkle...

A New Year Starts... Welcome to 2025

So it has started, 2025 is finally here and this means that we are now a quarter of the way into the 2000s... It scares me to think that children born now could easily make it to see the next millennium in, do you think there will be a fear similar to the Y2K bug?! 
What will 2025 bring? What will happen to us this year both in our virtual and real-lives? Last time the year started on a WTF week, we witnessed a global pandemic that spanned three years. Now there is so much fighting going oncould we be on the cusp of another world war? 
Right now I'm getting over the New Year blues, and trying to get my year started, so let's get this show on the road shall we?

Even though the year is still sparkly and new, the lights are still flickering from the fireworks and sparklers and I've finally gotten home. I feel like I've barely stopped moving since we left for the UK after Christmas, we spent a lovely time with my family in Wales, but I AM SO HAPPY to be home... 
What will this year hold for me though? Do I need to fasten my seat belt or can I just gently ride into this new year without a hard hat and a seatbelt? I'm pensively looking forward to the year starting, I am already thinking about when I can go home again, and planning things to do that aren't really resolutions but are things I want to achieve... I finished the year tired but happy, today I'm starting the New Year happy and ready for whatever is thrown at me... I am waking up, I am ready, I can't wait to see where this year takes me, will you come along for the ride?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

There are two sides of my mind right now... One says, "WOW 2024 has been a damn long year with lots of ups and downs and boy I'm glad it's over", the other says "Pfft where the heck did 2024 go and has Christmas come and gone already?"... There's a bigger part of me that's wondering how in the heck the Millennium was 25 years ago, and the fact that we're starting 2025 with a WTF week doesn't bode well... Last time we had a WTF week, we had the Corona outbreak... I know we don't need another one of those, but I will say it might be nice to be forced to stay at home for a while LOL... Now it's time to close our eyes and make a wish... 

Normally I wouldn't be sending my New year wishes and thoughts for prosperity so early. We stil have a few days of 2024 to go before we slip into the new year, but I won't be around and won't have access to the PC from tomorrow. HellBone and I are disappearing to the wilds of Wales, on a family visit with my parents and my sister in her new home... It's something I've been looking forward to for a long time, and no matter that it's not going to be a restful trip it will be a change, and a change is as good as anything... 
For now, I'll enjoy the sparkles, send out many wishes and much love and say Happy New Year everyone. May your evening and start of the new year be good to you, sending you hugs and hope you'll be here to see meand my rambling antics again when I'm back for some fun new adventures...
