Well I made it after a quick a change of trains to a lovely little holiday home in the woods that we rented for the New Year. Im still having to work, due to an overly self centered boss but that is a different story and not one that should be aired in a public place like this, so lucky you, you get to hear me rambling on a little more...
The cottage is lovely and the camping grounds are very pretty but this morning was the most gorgeous sight. There was a thick frost over everything and it looked like magic... I sat in the warming sun and watched it rise, but it was so worth it.
Rudh had a bit of a walk in the woods around where I am staying...
This is Hell's Heaven - which is funny considering that Hell is here with me in RL too lol - and she carried her lamp to light the way through the wintery woods. It's like a little slice of heaven in the woods at the moment, we can hear the loud fireworks from a distance but it's giving not only the dog but also me a peace of mind being further away from them. Rudh seems to be enjoying her walk too, walking her way towards the new year and promises of new things that will make everything seem brighter and more relaxed.
OK so she's not really dressed for a walk in a wintery woodland, but then she never really was one to dress properly. She's wearing a hat, but her head is about the only thing that gets warm. She's wearing a scarf, but then again that's not really keeping her that warm either, since she has wrapped her Vinyl scarf around her body like a top with just the smallest sweatshirt beneath, and a pair of cute, Distressed Jeans - from Petite Mort - which of course aren't helping to keep things warmer either lol,..
Because of my current location, and Rudh being indisposed in the wood, there will be no wild parties for Rudh this year. A quite relaxed affair, with a bowl of turkey soup and perhaps a bottle of wine while she watches the fireworks on television later... Who knows what 2017 will bring for her, and for the RL me too, but I know that tonight I'm going to raise a toast with a glass of wine and wish you all a wonderful New Year!!
What is she wearing;
Hat & Hair: TRUTH - Irenka in PomPomHat Reds

Every year around this time, things in Holland start getting a little crazy. People start going firework mental - setting them off left, right and centre, even though it's the middle of the day and you cannot see them anyway... It's about this time of year that my dog changes from a happy and spoilt princess, into what can best be described as someone suffering with Parkinson's Disease. She shakes constantly and won't eat or even go into our back yard to pee, it's horrible to witness! So this yea, as with last year, HellBone and I are packing up and taking the dog and cat to a holiday house in the woods!
I'll still be able to write things but won't be in SL so it's going to be my last few hours in world this morning, and as I was packing Rudh up and bundling her into a train so she could head off for her vacation, the strangest thing happened... I think she's on the wrong train?!
Sitting down in the carriage she was joined by some rather interesting characters! Three Children, a Giant and one with an interesting hat made themselves comfortable and started talking about random things - one even brought a rat with him?!
The train itself is a DRD Arctic Express Carriage, that is whizzing along down the tracks and generally going a little faster than a Steam Engine should perhaps. These little characters are SO CUTE - and I say that as someone who really isn't interested in Harry Potter - when my RL sister saw them she went nutso... The Harry Potter based Bears are BoOgErS creations, which you can win yourself until December 31st at The Arcade...
But I really do think I'm on the wrong train, I shouldn't be going to Hogwarts... I wanted to go to the Woods?!

Well that's it, it's actually done and dusted... The Christmas party is over and we're moving rapidly towards the start of a new year. Its'now that lovely quiet time between the festive days when you're able to sit back and digest, and to think about what it is that you've enjoyed.
For Santa I've often thought that today would a time when he'd just let go and party hard! He's worked hard, and he's only got another 363 days until his next big day... As I've grown older, the way he chooses to relax seems to have changed and this year the not-so-fat Santa has chosen to party hard with a pair of Ho-Hos...
By the way before anyone says anything, YES I KNOW that Ho-Hos are a cake, but aside from them tasting sweet the Ho-Hos that Santa is hanging out with are anything but cakey! Besides our Santa isn't exactly the typical fat man in a fluffy suit either... This Mr Claus is rather yummy. dressed in his Mr Sexy Santa Suit - from Crazy Kitty - and holding his fake beard in his hand, he's now finally taking some time out to sleep after his work night and day of partying is over... Looks like a great party was had, judging by all of the chaos around him and the Ho-Hos sprawled across his lap - using a sofa and pose from COME SOON called "Xmas Party" by the way!
I very much enjoyed being a Ho-Ho for this sexy Santa LOL... My sister Ho and I wore matching sweaters from epoch - which you can grab at Suicide Dollz until December 29th - and not much else besides some shiny red heels and some cute Christmassy Accessories!
We should leave Mr Claus in peace, I think he earnt it after the last few days, and it looks like his Ho-Hos may have totally worn him out... I do wonder what Mrs Claus will say to this though?!

Santa came and went in the blink of an eye... I hope that he treated each and every one of you well and that you - like me - were thoroughly spoilt with gifts. Of course, Christmas isn't all about the stuff, it's about family and good memories, and I am happy to admit that we managed to get through the day without killing anyone! Always a sign of a Good day that!
Before Christmas though I had been sent some simply amazeballs items of Christmas Décor and funness from Violetility... I know that the big day is over, but there are 12 days of Christmas so plenty of time to play naughty with these awesome little toys...
Santa left the bad boys a little gift under the tree this year... Rudhie wrapped in lights! You lucky lucky bastards LOL... He's gagged her too so that she doesn't actually have a chance to say anything - that will keep things quiet for you, again with the Lucky!
The String Lights binding her legs, the Ornament Gag and the special Blue Light Plug are all items that were available in the 12 days of Christmas gift giving from Violetility - but can now be purchased pretty cheaply via marketplace!
Tossed on the sofa, Pantyhose pulled down - from Messy - and a dress that screams like it was made for spankings - from Method - Santa even wrote a little label to let the bad boys know they've been "good" - it looks like she put up a bit of a struggle if the redness on her bare bottom is anything to go by!
I wonder if anyone would be interested in a trussed up Rudh under their Christmas tree LOL... Hope you had a wonderful day!!

It's Christmas Eve... Tonight is the night that the Fat Man comes to visit - and I'm not talking about HellBone this time - he's the one that children are waiting for.
I'm still not feeling very festive, but I'm trying my hardest to get into the spirit... Today I plan on watching a lot of Christmas movies and beginning to prepare myself for cooking the feast tomorrow. It's taking a LOT of mental pressure and a lot of wrangling of emotions, but I will get there... I think!
For now I am just going to try to smile and wonder if I've been a good enough girl to make it onto the nice list this year... I know I've been bad, but surely he can't know that right?!
I'll sleep next to the tree tonight in case I have to be there to argue my case with Mr. Claus... It seems like he's already been to visit Rudh though?!
Rudh got lucky this year, it seems that the Fat Man took a liking to her... I only hope she got onto the nice list in the right way and didn't bribe her way on to it!
Isn't she cute when she's sleeping?! In RL I look like a monster when I'm sleeping, but in SL Rudh looks so cute and not a smidgen of drool in sight! Those cute little footsie Pyjamas and her mussed up hair still leave her looking adorable with her teddy, and she must have been a good girl... Look at all those presents from the Fat Man!
There´s a new Boogers Urnerwherl Bear, a Garbaggio Ocean Princess Doll, some gorgeous new heels and toys of an adult nature, as well as an adorable Jian Husky Puppy and a (Yummy) Diamond Snowflake Ring... Plus there seems to be a LOT of other presents in that Sack...
Though Santa you have to come back, you didn't eat any of your treats that she selected specially from Lost Junction...
Time for bed before long for me, I hope that Santa will treat me as well as Rudh but I´m going to sign off by saying a Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night...

Christmas Eve Eve... I remember it was about this point when my RL little sister - Sophie - and I would start to go crazy every year. I cannot believe we are already on December 23rd, and I don't feel anything like as Christmassy as I used to! Not sure why even, maybe it's me getting too old, or the fact that I'm homesick, but it seems like a LOT of people feel that way this year?!
Still that having been said HellBone and I decided to make a cute little family Christmas photo and send it as our Christmas Card this year...
I wrapped HellBone in Sparkly Christmas Lights to make things a little more festive, and posed him using this awesome Come Soon "Carpe Diem", and added some super special baubles from peaches - the rude santa - and DRD - the annoying gingerbread man! It's definitely looking like a happy crazy Christmas in our house LOL...
From our little Dutch-Brit family - the Barbosa Lagunas - to you and yours, we'd like to wish you a Happy Holidays and hope that Santa treats you well this year!

December 22nd... Nearly Christmas... Why can't I get into the mood?!
I'm doing a damn good impression of a n Ice Queen at the moment, not feeling very festive much more grinchy and definitely cold about the whole thing... I think I'd give the Narnian Snow Queen a run for her money if we had to compete right now LOL... Still I will persevere and try to find the spirit, hopefully it will hit me like a truck in the next few days or something?!
For now though I'm going to let Rudh live as my Narnian Snow Queen for a bit... The picture that I took is one of my favourite pictures lately and it still makes me surprised to realise that I actually took it LOL...
It came out SO WELL... Please excuse me whilst I pat myself on the back just a little! I love everything, the lighting, the outfit, the colours... EEEH I'm a happy girl about something at least - even if it's not Christmas.
Rudh was able to have her Ice Queen moment at the gorgeous location of Nouvelles Aventures,which is such a pretty place that leads you on a walk through the snowy forest. She wore a Lethal Stalagmite Crown - from PSYCHO.Byts - and Snowflake Rings - from (Yummy) - to mark her reign as a Snow Queen. The snow dusts her face - thanks to Izzie's - and rests on her nose with her amazing new glasses - from Suicidal Unborn. One last thing that she needed was a fur - which she found at Mimikri - though she did tell me to quote another famous Snow Queen and say "the cold never bothered me anyway"...
Why not come and see me for a little... I have turkish delight!
What is she wearing;

Still feeling like I am on the outside looking in at Christmas this year, I really don't feel very festive and cannot get myself into the Christmas Spirit no matter what I do... I've been blasting myself with music, watching Christmassy feel-good movies and staring at the tree and it's sparkling décor wondering why the heck I cannot feel in the festive mood!
I feel like I'm sneaking around watching the fun but not being able to join in... A bit like the Christmas Snow Perv...
The poor little Snow Perv, all she wanted to do was join in the Christmas fun - hoping that there would be the usual Christmas argument and perhaps if she was lucky the chance for a little macabre fun?!
Labelled a Psycho - thanks to 7mad;Ravens - and hidden behind her Snow Perv Mask - an amazing creation by katat0nik which you can still grab at Tannenbaum until Sunday - she's been forced to roam the streets of the little village of Winter Flakes looking for anywhere a monster like her can find a little Christmas Fun...
For now, she like me is on the outside looking in... That won't stay this way for long... She can feel it in the snow flurries that have been tormenting the villagers...
What is she wearing;
Mask: katat0nik - Snow Perv Mask in Black (Available until December 25th at Tannenbaum)

If getting into the Christmas Spirit felt hard enough yesterday, the news of what happened at the Christmas Market in Berlin last night it feels nigh on impossible right now.
One of my biggest issues every year around this time is the homesickness - thinking of my family spending Christmas doing all the things we used to do together without me feels a bit heart wrenching - but when I think about what happened yesterday, all those people losing their lives or being injured as they were getting into the Christmas Spirit, it puts my feelings into a greater perspective for me. OK so I won't be with them in the UK, but I'll still be able to call my Dad for Turkey cooking tips, and Skype with my Mum so I can see them open a present, and share the usual crazy Christmas Selfies with my Sister... They are in the UK but they aren't gone, like some of the people that were just shopping and enjoying themselves at a German Christmas Market last night.
My thoughts are going out to the families and friends of those people that were injured last night, and to those that have lost their loved ones I will admit that I can only begin to imagine your pain.
Sorry to sound melancholy, but right now I feel that I may be more of a Christmas Scrooge or Grinch, than a sparkly Christmas Angel.
Spending some quiet, pensive, time - perhaps walking my dogs in RL or SL... My SL Puppies are really loving the walk I made Rudh take at the Winter Trace recently. Jian amazes me with the adorabilityness - yes I made the word up - of each of their animal creations, and I was unable to stop myself going puppy crazy when it came to the Holiday Huskies, which are available at this month's Arcade.
Now to take a moment of silence and a walk...
What is she wearing;

Just one more week to go before the Big Event, and then this time in a week that event will be over! Christmas is coming and there is no stopping it now, this time next week we will all be complaining about having over indulged and will be planning diets for our New Year's Resolutions.
I still have far too much to do, and not enough time to do it in so this week is - as per usual - going to be a bit chaotic I feel. Though I am going to have to be careful, it still hurts putting weight on my foot after my fall and I do not want to damage myself again before Christmas... Feel like I'm waiting for someone to throw swords at me, I'm kind of in anticipation that something else will happen and it's making me nervous!
Rudh unfortunately gets to be the one in the spotlight and create the visuals for the way I feel, and I'm not sure she's too happy about it! You can kinda tell that from the look on her face right now.
The board that she is standing in front of is not actually a throwing knife board, it's actually an item of household decor - if you're house is a castle perhaps?! This is one of the Stabbed Wall Shields from Violetility that you can get your hands on at the current round of We <3 RP - until December 31st.
However in this case I will say that it is her own fault, I mean heck if you want to dress like a "glamorous" assistant, then someone may want to throw knives at you!
What is she wearing;
Hair: TRUTH - Ember in Reds
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2

Today HellBone and I are finally about to start decorating our house in RL... I say we but actually I'm going to be more of an observer than anything as I'm still hurting...
In SL I am slowly beginning to decorate too. I cannot start planning Christmas décor too early, or I'd want to rip it all down by now, but I NEED to do something to get me feeling a little festive!
Now this morning I logged into SL and found that my decorating needs to be done over a little bit, since one of my newer friends had a party last night and things were turned into chaos!
He's lucky that he is so freaking cute! HellBone bought me a puppy - from December's Arcade by Jian - and he's been a little bit of a terror... A cute terror but a terror none the less. I was wondering what to call him, but since last night's little partying episode, I'm going to have to name him Smasher LOL...
One random thing to mention before I sign off today is these baubles... The Broken Ornaments are so cute, and awesomely enough they come as gifts in the Violetility "12 Days of Christmas" group gifts bonanza... I'll attach a poster so that you can get the information you may want below, but each day you get a PG and a naughtier Adult gift if you want it! Prepare yourselves people, Rudh is going to be enjoying some naughty Christmas décor very soon LOL...
I have to go and start decorating, I'm about to make my house look like Santa threw up on it LOL...

Yesterday was all about drinking Champagne and being rather under dressed, and I guess today is on a similar theme lol... Not enough clothes to be out in the snow - if this was RL I'd have frost bitten toes - and would you look at that, Gluhwein! Careful Rudh, don't be getting an even worse reputation for yourself LOL...
Luckily SL is a place you can go out in the snow in a miniskirt and still feel warm, because in RL tights - or stockings - would be a necessity! Still at least the Gluhwein will warm me up! Right?!
I went for a walk at WinterFlakes and decided to stop off for something warm, sweet and a little alcoholic at the Gluhwein stall this morning.
I have to admit I wasn't entirely well dressed for snowy weather, but the outfit from Petite Mort was meant to be one that I wore to a party or drinks with the ladies - maybe I'm on my way home doing the walk of shame LOL...
As mentioned this is a petty outfit from Petite Mort - available until December 23rd at Winter Trend - and as per usual with Petite Mort collections you can mix and match the separate pieces to make an outfit best for you. I LOVE THAT about this store, things work great together and with other things plus there are so many great colours to mix-n-match!
Now, while I'm here and feeling a little festive, can I get anyone a mug of Gluhwein?

I guess I should try to get a little festive since the Christmas holiday is only 10 days away now. Today in RL Hell and I have to go out and get a tree and some groceries so that we are prepped and ready to go, but I am actually trying to resist the urge to hide in bed all day!
Maybe I need to go out and have some fun, let my hair down and party a bit. It doesn't have to be festive but getting me in the party mood might be a start?! Rudh is always in the mood for a party, she's even willing to take on a new job somewhere that tickles her fancy - amongst other things...
Rudh loves a good party. She's also always ready to be a little kinky and that can or cannot be a good thing. In today's case, it's good... Recently she was made to go shop at the Kinky Event and she found a location that she'd love to be kinky in hehe, either that or call home - I'm not sure which.
While I was there checking out the club I had to buy myself a couple of new things, including this very awesome [sYs] LIDO Outfit that became the work uniform for Kinky Club!
Now can I get you a drink?

Hair: Truth - Thea in Reds

I want to the avoid Christmas feeling today, I'm feeling less in the mood and more like the Grinch... I still hurt and have way too much to do to be sitting around not able to walk so I am having to take things slowly, and today I decided I don't even want to think about Christmas! Is that weird?
I'm going to do some exploring. In a show I was watching recently, people went to an old house in search of treasures, and it makes me feel amazed to see the kind of things that are sometimes left behind to go to ruin.
It makes me jealous, I want to explore forgotten places like this, and well because it's so cold outside, I feel like exploring Grandma's Attic...
My Grandparents attic is nothing like this, but this location at WHOLE WHEAT really inspired me to get dirty and crawl through the cobwebs...
I've had the perfect outfit on for a while now, and YES it's starting to smell so I should probably throw it into the washing machine, but that makes it even more perfect to crawl through the cobwebs, right?
The Sweater is my new favourite piece of clothing, it's a KITJA Aurelia Sweater from the current - but ending soon - round of UBER - I pulled it on with the most amazing pair of Vinyl jeans which hug a girls curves in all the right places, and some cute little flats. These Reign Flats are possibly not the best for crawling around in a dusty attic but they looked cute while I was doing other things and that's what mattered lol...
Who knows what treasures I will find?!
What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Tempest in Reds
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2

Christmas is coming SO FREAKING FAST, I cannot quite believe how fast the big Holiday is almost upon us. There is so much to do and not a lot of time left to do it in, and it's almost a feeling of if I blink I'm going to miss it right now... Presents need wrapping, Shopping has to be done and OH don't even get me started about decorating. Hell and I don't even have a tree yet!
This weekend however was a time to celebrate with my SL Family. some of my best friends and some lovely music by the singer Greg Kat. It was a formal affair, and so for once in the year I was able to dress in something a little pretty...
My dress is something that I fell in love with and then had Lil help me glam up a little... I couldn't resist this dress. I never get to dress all pretty like this very often, and when I do, I find myself wearing something that is barely there - not that that's different from normal - but I couldn't leave this dress I NEEDED to wear it! It's one from Kaithleen's that was a release for the last round of Enchantment, I've had it stashed away for the formal for that long, but it's now available as a regular release in the mainstore!
I added a little glamour by wrapping myself in this gorgeous furry Twisted Stole from Peqe - which I'd never condone in RL - and wearing a few pearls...
Now the ball is over and I am riding home in a sleigh carriage through the valley of Lost Unicorn... I wonder if I will meet Santa the way the children of Narnia did?
What is she wearing;
Hair: TRUTH - Sugar (December Group Gift)

Horse: Remarkable Oblivion - Sleigh Bells in Snowflake & Sleigh RARE
Last night I hurt myself pretty bad, I thought I'd be strong and it wasn't so bad but this morning, oh my god this morning it's worse than I thought. I fell down the stairs yesterday, narrowly missing smashing a glass in my hand, as well as smacking my head on the wooden floor, but in the process - and I'm not sure how - I managed to hurt my foot. Now I hear from a RL friend that I may have broken a couple of toes!
So maybe it's lucky, maybe it's not, but I am going to have to work from home today!
Rudh's sick too... A different kind of sick, but still not going anywhere other than the sofa!
It's that time of year again, Cold and Flu season, and even our avatars are not immune to the sicknesses - even though we make them suffer ourselves LOL, and there is nothing more contagious in SL than Drama STDs!
Thanks to Izzie's - for the amazing Sick Face make-up that you can catch when you're at Tannenbaum - and Sari-Sari - for the awesome Am-Sick Gacha items available at The Arcade - it's easy to make your avatar look terribly sick! Without any make-up - can you see her zits LOL - and her hair in a messy pony tail, Rudh like me in RL will be spending the day under her Sari-Sari blanket in her messy Pjs with her teddybear.
Hope you enjoyed the little close-up, don't get too close to her, she's Sick!! LOL!!
Just a word to anyone listening though... BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN WEARING SOCKS ON THE STAIRS!!!

Do you wanna build a Snowman?
Not really actually, I've never really been a fan of snow. I love to watch it fall and if I only have to go outside to play in it then awesome, but it's when you have to deal with snow and RL that I am not so keen. I can guarantee that if ANYONE will fall over, it will be me! It's like it's fated to happen every time!
In SL however, Snow is a little easier to live with LOL... It's warmer for a start, and the only way I will have an accident is if Rudh is posed as such! So I've been exploring, playing around in the snow and actually kinda enjoying it!
There are so many gorgeous locations full of snow... Places like It All Starts With A Smile for instance. Kaelyn Alecto - owner of this gorgeous location and brilliant blogging lady - really looks at her location though the eyes of a photographer, giving everyone somewhere gorgeous to create little art pieces - like I tried to do LOL... Thank you for that Kaelyn!!
Now as you can tell my inner child went to town on my outfit today... YES my stomach is showing but it's SL it's not cold LOL... Although my nose and eyelashes were dusted with snowflakes - a pretty make-up from Izzie's by the way! I'm biting back another song right now, something about Snowflakes staying on noses and eyelashes!
My shawl and the larger snowman that sits on my head are from the Ecclectic Gacha Collection of Lost Junction - found at this month's Arcade - while the smaller snowman is a LODE item... When I asked if people wanted to build a snowman I wasn't actually thinking of it on my head, but hey it does look very classy, just hope it doesn't melt too fast LOL...

This weekend was a special holiday in Holland - the holiday of Sinterklaas - and I know I mentioned this about a few hundred times now but MY PARENTS WERE HERE!!! I had such a lovely time with my parents and it felt so good having them around, although now I feel a bit lost as they have gone back to the UK and left me behind.
Now as great as it always is having them here, it's a little bit frenetic, things go crazy and there is little peace in the house LOL... Today I am taking things easy, going to pamper myself and have a little luxury...
Rudh likes a little luxury...
A burlesque dancer she is not, but all girls like to feel a little luxurious at times right?!
Today that luxury comes in the form of kitty burlesque Rudh... A kitten outfit from the great minds behind Reign - the catsuit and the socks - and Besom - the hair complete with a kittenish mask.
Hiding in the damask curtains - as kittens have a tendency to do - this little burlesque kitten dances in the candlelight, enjoying the luxury of Champagne and Macaroons decorated with {anc} pearls!
What is she wearing;
Hair & Mask: Besom - Glam Kitten in Reds
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Bodysuit & Tail: REIGN - Glam Claws Collection
Socks: REIGN - Kitty Stockings
Pose: Signature Pose - Such Savage Kicks

Candles: hive - Floor Candelabra in Wrought Iron

If you were ever a bad kid you may have been told that Santa would not come to visit. It was a threat that my parents used to make fairly often when we were little around this time of year, but actually 9 times out of 10 it was a threat that dad assures me worked pretty well... In Holland that threat can be doubled - in fact I know that some of my friends with kids love having a double weapon like this in their arsenal - because this weekend is Sinterklaas. Tomorrow, Monday 5th, is a celebration a little like Christmas. Sinterklaas may not come to visit in the same way that Santa will stay away...
It's all very distressing for a little kid LOL...
Luckily for me I am not a kid, but I will be welcoming my British parents over for a visit so that they can experience a Dutch Holiday like this one. It will be all about food and family and maybe if they are lucky there will be a little gift involved too!
Yet in SL there won't be any gifts given today... So poor little Rudh can sit beside her Cardboard Fireplace - a brilliant creation from Lewd - that seems to be the only kind of fireplace that would actually be safe in the tree house! Although I get the feeling that I am being watched...
What is she wearing;
Hair: Magika - Sugar in 02
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Shirt: Addams - Natalia BoyFriend Shirt in Scottish Black
Prop & Pose: Lewd - Cardboard Christmas in Flames Version (Available until December 16th at Suicide Dollz)
Elves: !gO! - ChristmasElf in Happy and Pixie
