Feeding the Animals

My job is working in retail selling cheese. I don't hide it, I've shared it many times but I love my job and even though I vent about it often it's a place I feel happy and confident - most of the time anyway - and I don't see myself changing it for a while... 
I've discovered many new things about people though, watching the way they act when there is something as simple as a 'free sample' of food to taste... It's like they have never eaten before, free sample seems to be code for "take all you want because who cares if someone else doesn't get any" and don't even get me started about how people are more like animals around food... Circling like sharks, using their hands like monkeys, slapping their lips... I'd rather be feeding animals... 

Maybe I'll change my profession to animal feeder, since I tend to do it most days anyway... I'd like to feed something cute though, maybe in my own little fantasy world I'd feed dinosaurs in the Dino Park - like the old but awesome backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - driving in with a cooler full of delicious things for those big ol' baby lizards... I was sat feeding those adorable Apatosaurus and Triceratops babies, offering them both fresh leaves and a big ol' Meat Stick - from Junk Food - but I didnt realise that someone was sneaking up behind me heading for the meat...

A Different Kind of Snow Angel

I love being creative when I'm taking pictures... Today I found out that someone is running a 52 weeks of Aesthetics challenge, and I feel like that's something I might lend my hand at to try, due to my schedule I'm not sure it will happen within the 52 weeks but that's a discussion for another post. 
It did leave me wondering what is my own personal Aesthetic when it comes to my blog. I always felt llike a crazy mixed up mess of randomness, sometimes I'm a walking rainbow sparkle mess, other times I'm dark and deadly... More often than not I'm some kind of fairytale, magical, enchantment... 

I LOVE being a magical fairytale being... Fairies and Mermaids and Angels, anything that comes connected to magic and sparkles and with a story of it's own... 
This time of year, the frosty cold folk are the ones that become most predominant... The fae dance in the snow flurries, the mer shiver beneath the waves, and the angels freeze their tears to let them drift down to earth. I guess that I'd heard about a possible cold spell coming and my mind went to the possibility that the angels are blanketing parts of the Earth in snow as a way to bring peace... A little magic and peace would be a wonderful thing right now...

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...

Hair: TRUTH & FAGA - Instinct in Redhead

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...

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!!!

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...
