A Spot of Gardening!

One of the things that always happens in my RL family over the Easter Weekend is that everyone who is in the house is expected to help my Dad in the garden to get his garden ready for all the veggies he plans on planting - especially when Easter is as early as it was this year.
It's taken me a little longer but I have finally planted up some of the new garden that HellBone created for me beneath my tree house... I like my dad in RL, got a little creative when it comes to the planters... 

As soon as I saw the latest releases from nefarious.inventions for Lost & Found, it was like I was thrown back to my RL childhood in the garden - especially by the Rare Toilet Planter... I love the various other planters too, the entire set is really cute and well thought out, but I opted for the stack of buckets planter and the tea can planters to compliment my "Royal Throne". 
Whilst I was at Lost & Found though, I also had to grab one of the new releases from [ keke ]. The Sacred Lotus flowers in their old zinc basin are not only pretty but they look so good, plonked haphazardly there with my old Milk Cans. On the subject of the old milk cans, these were some of the décor items that Hell left out for me whilst he was prettifying my little plot of air space - I don't like skyboxes! I do, however, love the little ramshackle ruin with it's gate - and the milk crates - which are now the homes of my chickens! 
Everything goes so well together, it brings a smile to my face and even my RL Dad - who thinks SL is silly - said it looks pretty before telling me that I should help him with his garden LOL... 

What is in the Picture;
Milk Cans, Fence & Gate: 8f8 - New Beginnings Gacha Items (Available until March 31st at The Arcade) 
Flowers: [ keke ] - Sacred Lotus in Zinc Basin White (Available until April 1st at Lost & Found) 
Buckets, Tea Cans & Toilet: [nefarious.inventions] - over.grown Gacha Items (Available until April 1st at Lost & Found) 

Three Hot Stooges... Daddy, Hubby & Teddy!

There are a few people in SecondLife that not only root themselves into your SL but also find their way to being important aspects of your everyday RL too... It's not something that happens on a day to day basis, and personally for me, I find it takes me a while of knowing someone before I will share with them all of the intricate details of my RL. I will share titbits of information but getting personal details out of me can be harder to achieve!
Yet there are a few people who forced their way into my RL, in various ways and to various levels LOL...You will no doubt have heard of my bestiface and a few of my besties, my new RL colleague and even someone who put a ring on it LOL... I count myself as VERY lucky, I don't see all of them everyday, but the IMs never stop, and it makes a girl feel great to know that she isn't alone!
While on the subject of never being alone, sometimes it would be great to be without a certain someone - he gives me a headache and makes me work too hard, ain't that right HellBone? - but then I have two knights in shining armour that sweep in and distract him... They're like the three stooges! A hot three stooges! LOL...

I'm talking about HellBone and the two people that he would call his closest friends in SL, Chopper and Mongo... They are two guys that I will say are some of my closest friends too... Always there and able to brighten up a day, even if they are a little too like HellBone in the way they think sometimes LOL...
Chopper is the one that I jokingly call "daddy"... There is a longish story about a time when his RL son was repeatedly saying "Do it Daddy" in the background of his RL, and when I repeated it in SL it was a torture for him as he couldn't respond... It's been a joke between us ever since! There is nothing kinky behind it, I should add before anyone's dirty mind starts to wonder!
Mongo is, and has been for a LONG TIME now, the one that I call my "teddy bear"... He's great for hugs and knows just how to cheer me up, whether he's teaching me how to speak Redneck or just telling me funny stories, he definitely makes me smile.
A love of jokes about poop, a common interest in titties, and three personalities that although different are scarily similar, it's like seeing a set of non-identical twins and their mischief creating big brother!
I love these guys... Thank you for distracting HellBone so I don't kill him LOL... OH, and if you didn't realise it by now, Hell was the one that put the ring on it hehe!

Breakfast with my Girlies

Easter Monday - or as it's called in Holland "Second Easter Day" - is gray and cold and windy here... Sounds like the perfect day for me to spend all day in my jammies, but rather than vegging out in front of the TV I think I will spend a lovely day just messing about in SL taking some pictures!! In fact I already have ideas taking shape in my mind... YAY! 
But first BREAKFAST!!! As it's still technically Easter I think it's time for some Eggy Soldiers - ya know where you cut the toast into thin strips so that you can dip it into a soft boiled egg - that should be eaten in our SL Garden, because well it's always something you can do here even when the RL weather sucks! 

Not sure that eating eggs at my new breakfast bar - a Lost Junction creation by the way - which I made Hell drag outside so I could enjoy the fresh air was such a good idea. I feel a bit mean eating my eggs with my hens so close by, especially seeing the cute little chicks!! 
Never fear though, my chickens come from the friendliest farm - the 8f8 New Beginnings farm to be exact - and I am reliably informed that the eggs I am eating from the dust bunny kitchen are only those which would not have become little chicks - they are laid in a place where no boys are allowed hehe... It's very hard right now not to make a joke about cocks trust me LOL... 
So while I sit here and giggle to myself, trying not to get Egg on my new tops from SPIRIT or my new skirt from KITJA, I am plotting my photography path today and hoping that I can find some more chocolate eggs in a while LOL... Hope you enjoy your second day off!!!

Chocolate Eggs from Rabbits Day

It's time again for another holiday, and this is one of those that I tend to get a little scroogish about... It's Easter - although my friend wished me a Happy Zombie Jesus Day this morning and that was really funny, least I thought so anyway - and as with a lot of holidays now days this one started as one thing and ended up as an excuse day to eat chocolate eggs which are brought by a rabbit?! I've always been confused that the rabbit brought eggs, but no matter... It's one of those overly commercialised holidays now, and unlike Halloween or Christmas I just cannot seem to find myself getting into the spirit of things... 
Though this morning I did sit out in my slightly overcast garden and talk to the birds - we have chickens in RL it's not so weird as it sounds LOL - while three adorable surprise visitors landed in my lap... 

I enjoy spending time relaxing in my Soy Swing Chair... It sits so perfectly in my garden and always feels so relaxing to just sit and rock in - I can even share the relaxation with a friend too so it's a great chillaxing spot. In my case this morning I have three friends there with me, some of my HUGE collection of Boogers Bears... I LOVE BOOGER BEARS, and only need a few more now to complete my collection YAY! The first time that Rabbits have been brought out for the Booger Bear Collection and these are just as cute... rabbits with eggs?! 
I even dressed for Spring weather this morning - not that you'd know it was Spring in Holland it feels more like February! Going all flower power in a Blueberry dress and Truth pigtails... 
Though all of this discussion about chocolate is making me want some chocolate for breakfast, and HEY it's allowed today right?! LOL...

What is she wearing;

Evolution is moving on down the tracks...

Yesterday I took a photo in SL that has made me very very happy. Normally I feel a little unsure about my pictures, I worry that they aren't right and although I know I shouldn't I really find myself worrying about what others will think of them... I tend to feel exposed if I have not taken them into photo-shop and played around with them a little, which is weird because although I am putting my work out there as an "artist" which should be an expression of personality and opinion, I find that I often have to mute things... That being said, OK I know that I am a little on the crazy side with doing random things like being a princess one day and a monster the next! 
Yet while I was taking this photo I had a sense of peace, I wanted to do something that required no edit and - although I did crop this photo down - it's as raw as when I shot it in SL! I wanted to see what I can do without being able to touch up and make things look as I want them... and being honest with you... I LOVE IT! 

I guess the feeling behind this photo works very well with the location and photography props that I have used within it. The photography pose is one that is part of the Evolution of a Hipster series from Image Essentials. There has definitely been some evolution in the way I work as a photographer, and this may be the pinnacle of my work LOL... I do find myself thinking "I'm not up to their standard", which is terrible as everyone has a different style and a different way of viewing the exact same things... 
I guess the location is kinda like the name of the pose series too... This is Netherwood by Lauren Bentham, and as always with her locations, it is really well thought out and very very pretty. The following of the train track is a path to a beautiful landscape, but then walking along a path, an evolution, they all kinda spark of the same thing... Moving forwards... 
Perhaps I have moved forwards without even realising?! 

What is she wearing;
Hat & Hair: Truth - Armelle 
Skin: Glam Affair - Luna Skin in Asia 
Shirt: SPIRIT - Tin Top in Gray 
Skirt: Blueberry - Letia in Stoned 
Socks: [ abrasive ] - Worn Thigh Socks in White 
Pose: Image Essentials - Evolution of a Hipster in Pose 8 (Available until March 27th at Depraved Nation Luck of the Irish Gacha Fair) 

Daydreaming of Summer Days gone by...

I'm not sure about what it's like in your part of the world, but it feels like the weather is running a little slowly in changing this year! Here in Holland, at least, it feels like we are experiencing February weather rather than the usual for March. 
Now normally I LOVE being in colder weather - I don't seem to do very well when it gets hot - and I love watching the rain, and all the good things associated with Autumn and Winter, but right now I want to see some Spring... I want to see pretty flowers looking lovely in the sunlight, I want to hear the birds in their morning songs and I want to feel the sun on my skin... 
It's made me day dream for days gone by... 

The Trace Too is a perfect location for doing just that... Thinking about long ago summer days... It wasn't my intention but I ended up feeling a little like a character from Grease or something LOL... Maybe it's the retro feeling added to the awesome Wax On/Wax Off Convertible from Consignment, or maybe I am actually going bonkers and there is no connection there at all LOL... 
The rest of the outfit was made up of some very simple but pretty things... My favourite pair of jeans from Blueberry - Mia to be precise - as well as a new pair of shoes from Essenz - definitely a go to store for shoes now days - and a pretty top that is part of a new lingerie set from Dead Dollz... I will admit that the top looks barely there in this picture, it's my fault - bad photography on that day hehe - but you have to trust me that it is really pretty and covered in tiny blue and white flower detailing! 
I hope the sun shines at some point this weekend... Otherwise we're going to have a very wet Easter holiday weekend! 

What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Henya 
Skin: Glam Affair - Luna Skin in Asia 
Tattoo: [White Widow] - Chocolat in Black 
Top: Dead Dollz - Imogen in Sky (Available until April 15th at Shiny Shabby) 
Jeans: Blueberry - Mia in Faded

Surprise!

I know I only posted a blog post on Monday but damn it feels like it's been such a long time since I could sit back and write something random and rambly... I've been so busy in RL working 2 jobs and covering extra this week as my boss is on holiday, and in SL I have been all over the place working on taking more pictures of other people... Funny it seems that I get a lot of guys willing to pose, I need more ladies to help, AND I've been able to work on some couple poses that normally I tend to have trouble with... So that has been great! 
Now I have even managed to squeeze in some time taking pictures of ME!!! It's funny I always used to keep a backlog of pictures ready to post, but I'm almost out... I NEED to take some more!!! So for today at least, Rudh is unavailable LOL... 

Luckily I have poses like this one in my hoard... The Come Soon variety with lots of full scenes and props... It is so easy to get back into the photography of myself idea, all I needed to do was find an outfit!! 
This particular pose from Come Soon uses a similar backdrop to other pictures that I have taken recently - such as the seduction and submission photos of Chopper and I - but this one is a Surprise - hehe that's the name of it not that I am surprising myself LOL - which you can get your hands on until March 26th at Suicide Dollz. 
The shoes I am wearing, however, WERE a surprise! I'd been talking about how much I loved the new #EMPIRE shoes - released this week for The Fantasy Collective - when a fairy godmother decided to spoil this little Cinderella with a pair of these amazing new Columbine Heels! 
A pair of heels that work perfectly with the Pixicat Dresses from this month's Arcade!!!
One picture of me down, time for some more!!!! YAY a Photography Day!!! 

What is she wearing;
Hair: [RunAway] - Mona Hair in Reds 
Skin: Glam Affair - Luna Skin in Asia 
Tattoo: [White Widow] - Chocolat in Black 
Choker: #Foxy - Bowie Choker in Black 
Dress: Pixicat - Karma Dress in Nr2 Black (Available until Mach 31st at The Arcade) 
Shoes: #EMPIRE - Columbine (Available until April 15th at The Fantasy Collective)

So Sailor, are you coming to share my Bath?

I think that it's time for some rest... I am looking forward to this weekend being the Easter Holiday so that I can have some time to myself to just relax! Not that it is as long of a weekend as I'd hoped, we don't get Good Friday off in the Netherlands like they do in some other places, which sucks BUT at least Monday is a day off! I really need it, right now I feel like if the wrong person crosses my path... BOOM!!!! I will explode!
Perhaps I should just shut out the world for a while and take some me time, maybe a long, hot relaxing bath would be a nice idea... Somewhere I can just soak for hours!

You coming in the bath with me will may reveal a hidden secret, although by now you should have guessed, that when I get wet magical things happen - and yes I even made myself giggle with that sexual innuendo, maybe I just have a very dirty mind or something if you cannot see it?!
Whenever Rudh is submerged - because any other way of saying she gets wet brings up kinky images in my mind - in water, she undergoes a magical transformation and her mermaid form takes shape.
Slipping into her PILOT Bathtub, the magic begins to cause a tingling feeling in the rooms atmosphere, the light sparkles and although at first she feels searing pain once that subsides a new kind of calm washes over her.
He adorns her hair with a pretty Phebe Bloom - from LODE - as she pulls her hair up away from her shoulders, drawing attention to her smouldering eyes...
Mermaids are dangerous no matter what waters they are in... They are alluring, and seductive and hide an inner animal instinct complete with it's urges to devour humans...
So Sailor, having said that, are you coming to share my bath?!

What is she wearing;
Hair Flower: LODE - Phebe in Violet
Hair: Magika - Mint
Skin: Glam Affair - Luna Skin in Asia
Tattoo: [White Widow] - Chocolat in Black
Bath: PILOT - Bathtime in Mermaid RARE

Seduction and Submission

This weekend was my 30th Birthday... I've been so busy and had such a great time, that I haven't had a chance to stop and think! It was lovely to see my parents, and even more lovely to have them here all weekend just hanging out doing my favourite things and eating some nice food! 
Though one of my most relaxing events of this weekend happened to be a Photo-shoot -which occurred on Thursday morning - with my awesome friend - and "Daddy" Chopper... LOL!!! 
It's a long story, one that makes me laugh every time... It involves his RL son and Chopper's inability to tell me what he really thought of me on voice, just in case anyone was wondering - there's nothing sordid or kinky going on... Although if you look at the photos that Chopper was my model for you may think otherwise hehe... 

It was all about seduction and submission, and all the fault of the amazing poses that come from Come Soon Poses!!! The one in the photo above is called Discipline. I've used the pose and background - as always the Come Soon poses come with a full scene - but I have changed some of the props a little, replacing the money on the table from Dollars to Euros - I'm living in Holland, need to be paid in the right currency hehe - and the Whisky as he'd already drunk all of the Jack Daniels that was on the table by the time I took the photo!! 
The second photo is also a Come Soon Pose BUT I have used the pose with just the bench prop and placed it in the backdrop of the first picture so that they seem like a natural progression. That's the other cool thing about Come Soon Poses, not only do you get the full scene, you also get the loose poses too!!! The second pose is one called Possession, and it's available until April 1st at Cosmopolitan. 

The rest of the stuff that is pulled into this set of photos is just set dressing... I mean OK Chopper looks HOT in his Lapointe & Bastchild Jacket and Taboo Pants, and I don't scrub up too badly either. It's the fault of the lingerie, nothing to do with me hehe, and well this lingerie set from erratic is so good it would make anyone look hot!! 
What a fun early Birthday present this photo session was hehe... 

What are they wearing;
Rudh:
Hair: Truth - Josette

Stopping to enjoy the view, Needing some time to think...

Today is likely to be a day of pensive mindfulness...
I've been putting a lot of thought into things lately and the quotation "It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are" - said by E.E. Cummings - really seems to ring true. The reason for this deep and meaningful thinking is that tomorrow I leave my 20s... Tomorrow I enter my 30s... I finally feel more like I have to say I am a grown-up rather than a kid in disguise, even though everyone tells me it's Dirty 30 and now days you're still young at 40 or 50 even! When my mum was 30, she was pregnant with ME, the thought scares me a LOT and I doubt I am ready for something like that, I can barely look after myself...
So I have been doing a lot of thinking...

I went for a bicycle ride on Gator Sim to clear my head a little - I tell ya now, the hills are so much easier on a motorbike LOL - but I had to stop to catch my breath and there I sat thinking and enjoying the view! My bike is a pose - you can't really ride this one unfortunately - but the Image Essentials Pose is available at the Depraved Nation Luck of the Irish Gacha Fair, and is one of the Evolution of a Hipster Set.
A simple pair of Blueberry jeans, rolled up a little to stop them getting caught in the chain, and a cute Fringe Cardigan with a soft Infinity Scarf from Petite Mort was the perfect outfit for this ride, but perhaps now I will leave my thoughts and worries in this spot, I'm going to freewheel down the hill...

What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Karlie
Skin: Glam Affair - Luna Skin in Asia
Scarf: Petite Mort - Infinity Scarf (Available until April 10th at Trés Chic)
Cardigan: Petite Mort - Fringe Cardigan in Black (Available until April 10th at Trés Chic)

Princess of Dragons...

I tend to be one of those people that is a little optimistic about the things that I do in life. I am one of those "I'll give it a try" type people, even if I back those thoughts up with thoughts of doubt... Sometimes I am right and you get no response to the situation, but others there is a surprise that brings a smile to your face.
The fantasy lover in me was drawn out recently, and I have to say I have missed working on something a little more fantasy. It started with a dress - themed for the Game of Thrones, which I admit I know NOTHING about - and finished with a tiny little dragon in a teacup hehe... Let the imagination commence as the Dragon Princess saves a baby dragon from a dark underground world! 

The location is amazing, one of those really pretty Role Play sims that I initially thought wouldn't let people in... BUT... They have an observer tag that you can wear and I slipped that on before going exploring, and I was hoping that so long as I stayed out of the way of the action I'd not bother anyone... I'd recommend the sim for fantasy photography - it's Mysts of EYR - and I know that I will definitely be going back to take more photos... It is gorgeous! 
The entire reason for the dress and letting my imagination run wild however, not to mention my opening ramble, is that recently I was digging around, looking to see if anyone was accepting new bloggers - I wanted to try my luck and see if I had what it takes... One of those places was Petite Mort. NEVER in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be given a shot, especially considering I hadn't ever blogged their creations before, but OH MY GOD their designs are SO pretty and so varied! 
This dress is one from Petite Mort that you can grab for yourself at the latest round of The Instruments, which this month has a Game of Thrones theme. I didn't realise at the time I was taking this picture too but there is someone linked with Dragons in the Game of Thrones - I really may be the only person on the planet that has no idea, and I'm sorry LOL - but the dragon I rescued needed to be freed... I had no way of getting him out except putting him in my tea cup! You can find these dragons - and the matching horns - at the latest Kawaii Project from darkenedStare! 
One more thing before I sign off though, I wanted to include a close-up picture which you can see below, just to show off some of the accessorising I did in this fantasy look... LODE's Violet Wreath looked great with the horns, and the eyes that seemed to change as soon as I reached for the dragon. There was a SongBird calling "Soothsayer" nearby, not sure if that was related, but my eyes sure did itch hehe... 

What is she wearing;
Horns & Dragon: darkenedStare - Sakura Dragon Gacha Items in Black (Available until April 10th at The Kawaii Project)

Fruits for Breakfast

The sun is coming up on what should be a beautiful Spring day today, and what's more is that I am working from home and will be able to spend the entire day a little more relaxed with a little more enjoyment... So far it is looking like it will be one of those good days hehe... 
As the sun rises over me in RL, so does it over the Gator Swamp in my SL too, though today I am starting things a little differently... People are getting so many colds that I have decided to open a little Vitamin C Bar fruit stand...

I went to some of the local fruit farmers and found one that I could deal with... The Lost Junction Fruit Farm has amazing fruits at really good prices, with so many different fruits to choose from... I have Oranges, Grapefruits, Lemons, Limes, Mangoes, Peaches, Clementines, Plums, Strawberries, Blueberries, Blackberries and Cherries, and you know that all of those sound REALLY yummy...
It was lucky that I had my new Stepside Truck - from Consignment - I love my new yellow truck...
All of these things, can be picked up at the Shopping Extravaganza that is The Arcade... If you cannot make it to my fruit stand that is hehe...
Just think though, fresh fruit salad in the morning... MMMMMM...

What's in the picture;
Car: [Consignment] - Stepside Pick-up in Yellow (Available until Mach 31st at The Arcade)  
Fruit Stand, Fruits & Signs: [Lost Junction] - Fruit Cart Gacha Items (Available until Mach 31st at The Arcade)  

She stalks through the mist...

As I walked to the bus stop this morning, with a bit of a spring in my step and feeling good as it's finally lightening up when I leave the house for a change, I had every intention of sharing something pretty, spring-like, and cheerful... Yet as the thoughts of being locked in an office all day became more like a reality, and the gloomy feelings began to take hold, I went from cheerful to something a little darker... It makes me smile, but it's still darker than what I initially thought I'd be posting hehe...
A dark and mysterious place, where she stalks through the catacombs, waking in darkness and retiring from the light...

Her walk leads her through the dark and misty catacombs of Transylvania - the home of her kind, those with a thirst for a darker kind of drink...
She is one of the new school of vampire folk, something akin to a mermaid - drawing men to her like a moth to a flame - a siren of the night, one that dresses to draw attention...
Her dress from the Pixicat house of fashion, it screams of Karma - and can be grabbed at this month's round of The Arcade no less - is teamed with some strapped Azalea EMPIRE heels, perfect Whore Couture wear... What a dangerous combination?!

What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Solace
Skin: Glam Affair - Luna Skin in Asia
Collar: MONS - Extreme Choker in Silver
Dress: Pixicat - Karma Dress in Black (Available until Mach 31st at The Arcade)
Shoes: #EMPIRE - Azalea (Available until March 31st at Whore Couture 5)
Pose: Signature Pose - Strut

Demons in my Head

Everyone has their Demons... I know that I most certainly do, and I LOVE letting them out. 
Mine come in a million different disguises, some are scarier than others, but all of them have that same Rudhish flair... This week I met two of them... 
I was minding my own business digging through my hoard, and they sprang from the darkness at me, but they were SO COOL, I made each one stop and pose for a head shot so that they can be remembered and enjoyed hehe...

The first was one of those that was closest linked to Rudh's normal style... Human in form with some rather impressive horns - [atooly] I believe - this Demon would be the least scary on a dark night. Although, on second thoughts when you take a look at her eyes, I might not be fooling anyone by saying things like that. The corneas seem to have ruptured - courtesy of Lovefox hehe - and left a glassy twinkle in her Clemmm Eyes... 

The second is a little more of a beast than the first... Baphomet definitely controls this demonic Rudh, and I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad one - it might make me a little more bullheaded lol... The Baphomet heads are all due to (Poisoned Diamond), and a feast of hearts that are carried with her in this amazing chain - a Broken Heart Necklace from Remarkable Oblivion. 
Personally I don't think I'd want to meet either of these Rudh's in the darkness of my closet, but then you know, least you don't have to live with them in your heads either LOL...

What is she wearing;
Demonic Rudh 1:
Horns: [atooly] - Luna Horns in Long Dark
Hair: Truth - Henya in Reds 
Skin: Glam Affair - Luna Skin in Asia
Eyes: Clemmm - Glassy Twinkle Eyes in Redder

That Late Night Message...

A dark, warm night - one of those in which the thought alone of laying under the blankets beings you out in a sweat - and you are restless... The only sounds are the settling of the house in the dark, and the noises of the night outside your window...
You miss him, you miss the way it feels to be near him, the way he smells, the way he sounds as he slept...
As if by magic, a shrill cry and the sound of vibration breaks the silence as a bright glow lights the pillow beside you. At first you feel a sense of shock, you're ripped from your dreams of when the bed held two, and you take a few seconds to recover. Yet you snake your hand across the pillows, and slowly bring your phone to life - a name and a message appear on the screen, and suddenly all thoughts of restlessness leave you... You're missed, you're not alone, and what's more someone is hungry for you...
As the atmosphere in the room changes, all because of a few little words on a screen, suddenly the thought of being in a sweat does not seem so bad...

I went off into a little fantasy world writing this, you may be able to tell, but I used to really love that feeling of getting a late night message from a guy you'd been flirting with... The smile that it created always sent me to sleep with sweet dreams! It's still exciting to receive flirtatious messages, no matter if they are as text messages or in SL... Makes a girl feel like someone has seen her sparkle!
Now I have a confession to make, this pose is actually a couple pose from Come Soon - I really hope that I don't get into trouble for taking it out of context like this... Please don't be mad at me!!! I've included the Ad for this pose in it's original form below, but I just loved the way that it looked and my mind went wild!

Sometimes the things with no ideas, turn out to be good ideas...

I am one of those bloggers that gets sent things and as soon as I get them I start to worry that I have run out of inspiration and will let someone down if I don't use things in a photo. I know that shouldn't be the case, as it's times like that in which I will make things that I am not happy with but when an idea comes to me easily it's great... When an idea doesn't strike me like lightning, I begin to panic!!
This was one of those times, I received items from brocante, and then started to worry that I'd be letting a friend down by not blogging the items *facepalms* I need to relax more... Then pictures will just happen naturally, and the results will be better than I had thought...

As is the case with this one... I actually like how this turned out, and I guess that is the most important thing! 
The props in the photo that I have come from the store brocante - the collaboration between the owners of floorplan and Consignment - and these were event releases a while ago, I couldn't remember which event but they were in an event... Sorry I cannot be more specific... They are available with the brocante collection at it's main store area now however! 
Luckily they make an awesome prop to just pose with in a cute outfit, and I do really love this outfit!!! 
It's a Baby Doll Dress in a Sheer Silver colour that was a past Suicide Dollz release from R A N S O M, and it is so cute! But you HAVE to wear panties with it unless you plan on staying in your own home ladies hehe... I accessorised the pretty dress with some heavier style jewellery including one of my favourite collars from [ abrasive ] and the DO NOT PRESS Button Necklace from BAMSE, 
It wasn't what I initially thought the outcome of this set of items would achieve but I really like it in the end... Sometimes it's surprising what you can create right?! 

What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Shaylee in Reds 
Skin: Glam Affair - Luna Skin in Asia

Waiting in the Rain... Wonder if it will stop?!

I don't want to start yet another post with a rant, so I will let you in on some exciting news... Last week I started work on a second RL job... Suddenly I am finding myself very busy, but hopefully it will only last a while until I am settled and can tell the job that I constantly complain about that I am leaving. I really, really cannot wait for that day... Though as of right now I have a second job, and all I will say is that I am REALLY enjoying it so far - oh and that it's the type of job I have wanted for a while as I am working for a RL company in SL!! How many people do you know that wouldn't want to be able to work in SL?!

LOL OK so it's not what Rudh is doing for her line of work in the photo, but I just couldn't resist putting this photo with the revelation that I am working for a RL job in SL - finally hehe!!!
The location is one that I have wanted to use for a while now, this is the landing point of 1951 Underground - a retro location with a less than subtle nod towards the kinky and playful side of entertainment!
I will admit that I went a little modern on my style of dress - rather than make myself look like a 1950s style Pin-up - mostly that was due to my new dress from SPIRIT, available at UBER. The dress just screamed perfect when I added the Arabella Boots - from Candydoll - to the look, while I kept my hair very simple in a Truth style!
I wonder if I can get this car to stop?!

What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Henya in Reds
Skin: Glam Affair - Luna Skin in Asia
Dress: SPIRIT - Mila Dress in Black (Available until March 23rd at UBER)
Boots: CandyDoll - Arabella Boots in Black
