Summer seems to have come and gone here at the moment, not that I am complaining because I am really not someone that enjoys the heat but temperatures have cooled a little and the skies overhead are often more of a greyish than brilliant blue. Although I don't really like hot, I do like sunshine - almost as much as I love the rain - and so I do feel a little sad it's gone already. I love that soft spring sunshine...
Luckily SL can be as sunny or rainy as we want it to be. When we want hot feeling weather, there are ways to do that, when we want rain there are ways to do that too... I guess at least where the sunshine is concerned this works for me, I get the pretty sunshine without being too hot LOL...
I don't have a figure like Rudh that I could show off when it gets hot in RL, and it's times like that when you want to be wearing as little clothing as possible LOL... So when I I feel too hot in RL the last thing I want to do is see my barbie doll in something too heavy looking LOL... That's about the time Rudh is stripped off... Though OK she's barely dressed a lot anyway...
In this particular case I found an outfit that was so soft and light looking that I couldn't resist wearing it in the hot weather we'd had in RL recently... It's an outfit from Wonderlost called Olivia and the Boho pieces are mix and match so you can buy these gorgeous printed skirts and the loose tied tops as seperates meaning you can mix and match your colours! I will admit though that these are available until the end of today at The Secret Affair, but hopefully they will be available in the mainstore before to long too!
I kept my accessories very Boho, wearing a Celeste Wig from Truth with a matching Coin Choker from Kibitz and finished off with a large beaded Cresent Talisman Necklace from (Yummy), so my look was complete...
Then I just needed somewhere to explore... Somewhere cool and shady, yet with a beachy refeshing breeze perhaps... That's when I ended up at It all starts with a Smile... A gorgeous tropical beach bar and jungle style location... PERFECT for a boho Rudh to laze around in and explore...

This weekend sees the closing of one of Second Life's BIGGEST hair events... Hair Fair 2016 will close it's doors for the year on July 31st with a special last day of shopping...
The last day of Hair Fair has always been a Bandana Day, in which shopping patrons are asked to throw off their SL wigs and instead wear a Bandana... While you were perusing the latest styles at the Hair Fair, you may have noticed the Bandana Booths. These are filled with a wonderful array of Bandanas in many different styles, colours and accessories, to fulfil anyone's chosen desire. Each of these is available for the low price of 50L, with 100% of the profits being donated straight to the charity - Wigs for Kids.
I'm going to be wearing my Bandana for the day... So I throw off my own SL wig and ask if you will perhaps do the same...
The bandana that I chose was one of the creations by LeLutka, who have added a big floppy sun hat to give the bandana just a little bit of vintage glamour... Least that was how it felt when I was fully dress and wearing a super cute outfit that I pulled together.
To compliment my bandana I chose to wear a a new Lulu Leather Jacket that is available from Addams at the latest round of Uber, with a pair of worn looking Addams jeans and some super cute chocolate coloured Brown Eyed Girl Boots by Entice - available now at Lost & Found.
It felt like the perfect outfit to go exploring in, maybe it was me channelling my inner Indiana Jones - the look is a bit reminiscent of that or am I wrong? - and I ended up finding a very beautiful and peaceful spot at the Gates of Melancholy to sit and contemplate the craziness that has been life as of late. It was like taking a breather... Something that was very much a necessity... Now I'm raring to go once more... Bring it on world... Bring it on, but only if you're wearing a Bandana!
What is she wearing;
Hat & Bandana: LeLutka - Eden 2 Bandana (Available until July 31st at the Hair Fair)
Skin: Glam Affair - Melanie in Asia 05
Jacket & Top: Addams - Lulu Leather Jacket w/Shirts in Black (Available until August 23rd at Uber)
Pants: Addams - Rocker Zipper Jeans in Ocean
Boots: Entice - Brown Eyed Girl Boots in Chocolate (Available until August 1st at Lost & Found)
Pose: Image Essentials - Confidence 13 (Available until July 31st at Depraved Nation's Boys of Summer Event)
All the time I was growing up, Friday was shopping day... Every Friday my mum would be in the kitchen making her lists for the grocery store, checking to see what we had in the various places we kept foodstuffs and mumbling to herself about the things she needed to buy. I used to love going grocery shopping with her, trying to sneak extra goodies into the shopping cart and being allowed to be the one that chose our dinners for the evening.
Little did I realise how mundane it actually was, now that I have to go grocery shopping the whole process has lost a lot of it's sparkle... I still love the feeling of a fully stocked kitchen but I get so irritated by the people and don't even get me started about grocery shopping in Holland, as opposed to the UK...
BUT I suppose it's a necessity... A girl's gotta eat right?! Married HellBone and he's a man that LOVES his food! So today, in homage to my mum - who I am sure is already starting on her fridge/cupboard check - I'm going to do some shopping at the market!
Rudh looks a lot less frazzled going to buy groceries than I tend to look in RL... But there is one similarity... The kitty in the bag! This is one of the MishMish "Kitties go to Market" Cats, which you can still win for yourself at The Epiphany until August 15th, but it reminds me of the little black cat we had when I was little. He used to follow us when we went to our local corner shop for milk or bread, and he'd sit and wait patiently outside until he could follow us back home again! It was the closest thing that I had to a dog, until I moved in with HellBone!!
As she wanders around the streets of Elysium City of Templemore - a cute location full of different stores, a motel and housing - carrying her bag of fresh veggies - and a cat - Rudh probably doesn't realise that she forgot to do her pants up! These are new pants from #EVANI at the current round of UBER. Also while talking about Uber, I LOVE this new shirt from BUENO too... I was a bit concerned it wouldn't fit well as they make for Slink Physique and Hourglass, as well as a regular fitted size, but there is no Maitreya version, BUT as you can see it fits well and looks cute!
I have to admit now though, it's SO MUCH EASIER to shop in Secondlife, and the foods look great. Plus no calories LOL! Just a shame you cannot live on Virtual food, right?! LOL...
What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Kora in Reds
Skin: Glam Affair - Melanie in Asia in 05
Collar: Kibitz - Collar Collection Gacha Item in Elsa Collar (6) (Available until August 15th at The Epiphany)

ROMP is still running... I love ROMP, I've said it before and I will say it again... It is the best event for letting the inner bad girl take over and do things that you may not normally do... Like being rather naughty in public LOL...
Now is the time for something a little naughtier... A Ballet Class gone awry... The Bad Girls Ballet! This isn't Swan Lake LOL...
It started because of ROMP and a pair of shoes that I thought were just so cute! At least my inner bad girl was doing a happy dance, she knew that she'd be coming out to play LOL...
The shoes in question are the new Private Dancer Ballet Heels from Bliensen + MaiTai, which are available in a collection of colours at the ROMP location until July 29th, and as soon as I saw these I KNEW I had to do a pose with a bad girl ballerina.
The pose I'm using is one from Vanity Poses, but I will admit that I used my Animare Pose HUD to adujst it slightly... More than Slightly, like the arm that is on her stomach should be holding the barre slightly...
I'll leave it for you to decide though hehe, either she was being silly and is slipping from the barre, or this bad girl Ballerina is doing something really rather naughty!
What is she wearing;
Hair: *ARGRACE* - TSUMUGI in Reds
Skin: Glam Affair - Melanie in Asia in 05
Tattoos: *PerveTTe* - Little Things for You

I did it, I was a big brave girl and after a little bit of a mental shove I forced myself to come back in to the office. I always joke about how much of a rude word "work" is but in this case I have to tell you, and I know I complain about it a lot, that the place I work is kinda soul destroying. I really don't know how people can love working in a stark sterile office environment...
I am not going to let this bring me down today, I've been too strong recently to be weakened by the shell of a building. I've found that I can stand strong and stand by what I feel is right... So I am going to let my mind wander off into a fantasy realm, somewhere away from mundanity and into the bizarre...
Fluttery Butterfly worlds far away from normality!
Is it just me or when you see a butterfly in RL do you find yourself smiling too? I love watching them flutter, I love the delicate gracefulness and I love the colours.
Today I am in a magical land of butterflies... I've become one of them too... Just waiting for my wings to unfurl! With my new little FluffyFlutterFriend - from Lovely Alien - and a Static Caterpillar, I sit at wait... I already prepared myself for their emergence, pulling my hair up into this adorable style when my Moth Antennae started to grow.
My hair is a Hair Fair release from a store that I'd never heard of before this event by the way. It's a store called [Mello] and this Dreams style comes in some really cute magical colours, so find a new store and buy hair to raise some money fo the children while you're at it!!!
I hope my wings come in soon, I need to get out of this office again already LOL...
What is she wearing;
Caterpillar: Static - Caterpillar in Gift of the Guardians
Antennae: Lovely Alien - MothAntennae

The beginning of a new week, and I am already feeling like I am running in robotic mode... I've been working my butt off in RL and in SL over the past week and it's not going to let up this week either as my RL boss is on vacation... Not complaining, thinking of the money, but seriously I am going to need a break after all this... Some time to do nothing but relax and do fun things...
Things like visit the little mermaid's grotto?!
I couldn't resist, there were just too many things drawing me to this point LOL...
The yardsale at DRD has been my biggest reason for this picture today... Not the Yardsale in the conventional Secondlife sense, the minds behind DRD are updating the store and some of their items that will disappear have been set out for cheap before they disappear... The Andolys items are part of this sale and I snatched all those things up pretty fast. This is the Ariels Cove Set.
This location then sparked the need for something mermaidy to wear... I found the perfect outfit at Fi*Friday. The pants and top are made by epoch, and it was the top's slogan that drew me to needing this outfit... I had to have them! Then I had to smoke some seaweed!
What is she wearing;
Hair: Besom - Neptune in Essentials (FREEBIE Available until July 31st in Backlot East at the Hair Fair)

As I hinted last night in my Wine'O'Clock post, this weekend has been one of parties for me - since Thursday LOL - and today I am going to relax... Nothing to do but take things easy and maybe sleep a little more as it seems to have cooled down here a little.
As I may also have mentioned before we were partying for my MC Sister and awesome friend Solde, who turns old this weekend, we had 5 events for her birthday, and the last was the most awesome... Least I think so anyway... The last party we had a little trip to one of her favourite places... OZ!
HellBone built a special Oz themed ballroom complete with a tornado, munchkins and of course a yellow brick road, so that Solde could become her favourite movie character for just a little while...
As she walked towards Oz with her little HellBone Toto, she was joined by a fabulous Scarecrow, a glamorous Tin Man (Woman) and a Lion with a lot of RAWR, and we all skipped into Oz together... The ladies of the Gators MC!
These costumes are amazing... The best Oz character costumes that I have seen out there, and trust me I looked through a LOT before I found these. I wanted the boys to be the characters with Solde, but it just wasn't working... The costumes were simply not good enough... Then I found these! They are from Lamu Fashion and not only are they perfect - giving Oz that hint of glamour - they had all four characters and it looks like we belong together! Each outfit comes with everything you could possibly need, besides hair and skins of course, now I will admit that we each personalised things a little but for the price you pay they are great!
What is she wearing;
(All of the costumes used are from the same store, please see the name and URL in my outfit list. For details about the accessories, hairs or Hell's Avatar ask me!)

Ladies and Gentlemen it's 6pm on a Saturday Night in my part of the world and that means that it's HAPPY HOUR!! Wine'O'Clock!! Borreltje Tijde - Party Time as the Dutch would say... There's only ONE SMALL PROBLEM!! The RL me is working and so the SL me has to behave a little bit... No drinkies till after 8pm for me! But it is a bit of a celebration weekend amongst my SL family as our awesome VP celebrates her Birthday and our President - my Hubby HellBone - celebrates his 9th Rezday! We've been partying for two days already and I'm not sure that it will stop tonight as we have a live singer coming to perform at the Gator Sim!
Rudh is already getting ready, grabbing herself a glass of wine...
The kitchen is not mine - it's owned by a sweetheart that was willing to let me use it, though I'm not sure he knew I'd be raiding his wine cabinet - but hey this girl was in need, and besides, I'd share if he wanted me to LOL... The pose however, is a brand new release from Come Soon called More Wine. The full scene that this pose comes with is a bedroom scene, and well I didn't feel like going to bed with my wine, I'm getting ready to PARTY, so it had to be the pose used in another location... That's one of the awesome things about Come Soon... Not only do you get full scenes and all the props you need, but you also get the pose on it's own so you can use it in your own location... AWESOME RIGHT?!
This dress is the perfect dress to go out dancing in... The front is sexy but the back is HOT, I'll leave that little surprise for you when you see it, but it's strappy and shows off the sexy figure beneath it's silky material... You to can get your hands on one of these dresses, they are Dead Dollz creations, available at the current round of Shiny Shabby. They are well worth trying, and from things I've heard I'm not the only one that would agree... The Gator boys will back me up on that hehe...
Roll on 8PM for drinks'o'clock...
What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Priya in Reds
Skin: Glam Affair - Melanie in Asia in 05

Pose: Come Soon - More Wine (Available until July 29th at Suicide Dollz)
How did it get so hot so fast?! For the last few days I've felt like I've been melting and today is shaping up to be more of the same! I've never really been a fan of hot weather, I'm much more of an Autumn and Winter kind of girl. I mean OK when you go on Vacation, you want sunny weather but then you aren't stuck at home doing the chores and working the jobs and you can just kick back, relax and enjoy!
Still I guess being stuck to my computer due to working so much does have it's perks... I can spend more time in SL taking pictures than normal LOL... I'm exploring, shopping and taking some pretty pictures all at the same time, so I guess it's a little like a holiday?! Perhaps?!
It's exactly the case of what happened here... I'd been wearing a gorgeous new dress from Petite Mort - the Henna Slip Dress in a teal colour which is available at the current round of Tres Chic just in case you were wondering - and decided to take my new little buddy that I adopted recently on a walk somewhere different and new...
The location is a place called Neverfar, and it's got a serene but also haunting feel to it... It's definitely worth checking out.
If you're thinking about adopting a puppy like I did I should let you know that my new little friend is an adorable Countryside Collie from Jian. To adopt one is very simple, just head to their special adoptions location at The Epiphany and you too could walk away with your own adorable little friend...
OH while I'm rambling, there is one last thing that really does deserve a new noteworthy mention... My new favourite Hair! I seem to be wearing this all the time at the moment, and not only does it look cute, I donated to a great cause when I bought it! This is a Hair Fair release from the store Blues. I am kinda ashamed to admit it, but I've never really paid much attention to Blues hair until very recently... Maybe it's time I did a little more Blues shopping?!
OK OK I am done rambling... Time to enjoy my walk before the sun gets too hot...
What is she wearing;
Hair: Blues - Heather in Colours 2 (Available until July 31st in Backlot Central at the Hair Fair)

Lately my emotions have been causing chaos in my head... I've been letting things that shouldn't and wouldn't normally get to me in ways that have almost caused a breakdown. The mixture of emotions has been huge and although there have been happy times when I do laugh and joke around, recently it's been hard to find a lot of those. Mostly I'm hiding the true feelings away from people and that isn't good... ALTHOUGH last night I had myself a mini epiphany... I now realise... WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING?! The people and things that I am letting myself get bothered by do not matter... If they mattered I'd have talked to those concerned and it wouldn't be an issue... SO, to all the little things that were bugging me... I am done, Fuck this... Let's move on an have a good time!!
Sorry for swearing so much... I don't normally let my potty mouth take over my hands while I am writing here to you, but sometimes you just need to blast out a few bad words... I'm not fake, I do not plagiarise other people's ideas to make them look like my own and I do not manipulate the things people say to make myself seem more important or look better, so for that I know that I'm the better, stronger person after all of this... I AM HAPPY BEING ME!!
I've let off some steam but I need to dance... Shake my booty on the dance floor and let my hair loose! I found the cutest club to do it in too... Tequila SunRise... Just look at the décor, it feels really well put together and looks awesome, but I wonder what the music is like. When I found it, it was empty... I will have to check it when they have a party going on!
My outfit was a bit of a reflection on my mood... The rude word of the day was not only showing in the statement on my awesome Azuchi Emily Crop top, which Mongo pointed out was less underboob and more boob out and that he wasn't complaining LOL, but also on my pretty cute Kibitz Necklace which proudly announced "Fuck You". My shorts too, although they do not come with swear words, are also RealEvil - RealEvil Industries that is hehe.
OK OK I am done, no more ranting and no more bitching LOL... I'm going to be HAPPY RUDHIE again!!! I promise, no more swearing, I'm done cussing like a sailor as they used to say - at least for a little while LOL...

The summer has finally arrived in my part of the world and GODDAMN it's freaking hot at the moment... OK By other people's standards it's probably not as hot as it could be but for Holland it's fairly hot! I slept SO badly last night and today I am going to be at my computer for a full 12 hours whilst the sun beats down on the roof I am sitting under... It's going to be a hard day, I tell you that now...
So as in RL, where I am trying to remain as cool as possible, Rudh will be expected to do the same... I cannot even bare the thought of looking at someone fully clothed today LOL... Light summer dresses are a MUST!!!
This dress is a great example of that long light summer dress style... I adore it, the colour the shape the softness in the textures, and it seemed perfect for dancing around at one of the newer sets at my favourite photography location - Whole Wheat!
The dress is a pretty one from a store that I stumbled across due to a fairly anime stuffed event - The Project Seven, which runs until July 30th by the way - and upon it's discovery I found the awesome hippy style cover up dress that I wore to Indie Teepee a week or so ago. This dress is the Kay Summer Maxi dress from A Breakfast Convo, and although various colours were on offer, this pretty shade of minty green was perfect... I HAD TO HAVE IT! I just wish that I had one like in RL now LOL...
Stay cool and hydrated today peoples... You know it's worth it... Wish me luck while I am stuck in doors!

Hello, My name is Rudhmellowen Laguna, and I am a Gacha Addict!
Felt like I should start this post off as if I am going to something akin to an AA meeting, because well frankly I am now fully aware of the fact that I have a bit of a gacha gambling addiction hehe... I like many people in SL am always finding myself thinking "Just one more try" and end up realising a little too late that my account balance now says "I hate you" rather than showing any money being present!
It's not entirely my fault though I mean if the designers that participate didn't put such cute stuff in the machines then I wouldn't have this problem would I?! Each and every Gacha Event outing - this time it's The Epiphany - there is ALWAYS one collection that I have to have a full set of, this time it was the fault of MishMish and Remarkable Oblivion by the way, and OK it's not like they are sitting there with a gun to my head making me buy things but... Well... Ya know... I NEEDED THE THINGS!
My tale today really starts when I dropped to the floor of my bedroom - I have this amazingly cute rug from Kalopsia and it has now become a part of my "work" space - to write a little post here about the new hair that I bought at Hair Fair... The style I am currently wearing is a Wasabi Pills release called Bubblegum. I'd gotten myself a new laptop and drawing pad from Cosmic Dust - yes those are Epiphany Gacha Items - and was going to break these bad boys in with a little bit of Rudhish creativity!
I wasn't able to focus all that long though... HellBone came home with groceries and let the cats in! Our MishMish kittens are right little tinkers, which by the way is a British expression meaning "mischievous children". Before I knew it, one was climbing all over my notes and the other was burying itself into the grocery bag... What the heck did Hell get at the supermarket!?! Meh, sod it, it's his mess to clean up... I'm just going to sit here and drink this yummy brocante Lemonade, and watch chaos take over! It's much more fun that way!!!

I've been far too good recently... I get the feeling that right now it's time to let out my inner bad girl, and that may not entirely be all of my own fault... ROMP has started... The best shopping event for those kink lovers out there, in my opinion at least, has started and is celebrating in it's anniversary round... My inner bad girl starts to sing as soon as she steps foot into the ROMP event location...
Dresses, Jewellery, Marks, Toys and Shoes... Bad girl me was as Happy as a Hooker could be...
It was the perfect excuse for me to use the Exposeur "Red Light Showcase" Prop that I have used before but only recently bought for myself in the stores huge closing sale. It also gave me a few giggles as I honestly kept singing to myself "How much is that Hooker in the Window?" You'd think I'd be used to scenes like this now, living so close to Amsterdam!
Hooker Rudh was wearing a couple of pretty things from this month's ROMP event... Her barely there dress - which I assure you from the front looks like a short but somewhat more decent looking black leather dress - is from Method, and it seemed to be a great fit with the adorable Foxy Collars from Tabou. Not that you can see the front of that either, but it's really cute you have to trust me...
Maybe you can also see that her last client was a little rough on her... That hand print looks like it stings! Big hands too!! Ass Smacks like these are created by Ama at ROMP... You should get your ass smacked today too hehe!!
Now she's ready to lure the boys in, but I wonder, will lil Hooker Rudhie have any takers?!

Oh my gosh I cannot quite believe that I am awake this morning. I have a terrible headache but somehow my body is on a warpath against me and it will not let me sleep more. On another note I cannot believe that I managed to get a post about the Hair Fair Freebies done before it opened too LOL... I was working my little blogging butt off last night trying to get everything ready... Now I am freaking knackered and even though this morning I have tried to make a pretty picture, there really is only one thing on my mind...
Not likely to get anymore sleep BUT least I can have a somewhat relaxing day. Rudh on the other hand will be able to sleep as I have to use my work avatar instead hehe...
She found the perfect place to sleep, somewhere that perfectly fit with her gorgeous new outfit... Typical of Rudh that she could be asleep somewhere perfect and look awesome... The RL me would never look this glamourous.
Perfectly matched to the gorgeous Majilis al Jinn, Sands of Time, location, Rudh has been dancing around as a pretty belly dancer because of her new outfit from !gO!, which you can pick up at The Crossroads.
Still for now I have more work to do, I guess that the RL me won't be getting a nap any time soon!

Hair Fair 2016 starts in just a few short hours and I have to say there are lots of lovely wigs for the ladies - and gents - that are Hair Obsessed... All in the name of a great cause.
Now over the next few weeks I'll be sharing some of the awesome degsigns that I picked up, long and updos and even a few shorter ones, and I will be explaining more about the cause, but I wanted to share with you some of the gifties that are available at the event.
My favourite gifts from all four of the sims...
First up... Backlot Central...
This is a hairstyle that is available from Blues, and I LOVE it... You can buy it as a donation item with a hud to change the design of the hat, but I wanted to share the special gift which supports the cause of the event - Wigs for Kids.
Then Backlot East...
This is a hairstyle from KoKoLoReS called Rue, and it has the Rachel look to it... Ya know the friends style that was soooooooo popular all those years ago. I'm also wearing the (fashionably dead) giftie which is the cute choker - or the Sweet Bow Choker - which comes in a set of a few colours!
Third sim on my list is Backlot North...
This hairstyle is the gift from Phoenix called Gracia, which screamed as something that was perfect with the amazing Moustache from Valient.
Lastly, the Backlot West...
The Amacci Hair is a cute updo that I couldn't resist sharing in pretty pinks, and it looks adorable with the pretty Hair Bow from Stealthic.
So those are my favourites, but there are LOTS and LOTS more! The Freebies aren't the only reasons to head into the fair though so please don't miss a chance to take a look around the sims...
It won't be long now till it opens.. You don't have long to wait!!

I wanted to share something very simple with you this morning... Something pretty, and simple because today is a HUGE day for event openings in SL...
The Epiphany will open it's doors, and ROMP too... Both some of my favourite events that I get really excited for as soon as I see things start to appear in Flickr! Yet today is also the early access day for Hair Fair, and I really cannot wait to get into the event and start shopping!
I am already planning on trying to get a post for Hair Fair out later on, something simple and easy hehe, but you know what an addiction is like, you really need a fix and this morning... THIS is my fix! I found somewhere that I HAD to show you!
The location is the Sweet Harmonic Wedding and Landscape Garden.
I stumbled upon this place recently whilst I was looking for gacha yardsales and as soon as I saw this table I was in love...
Set out to resemble the Mad Hatter's Tea Party of Alice in Wonderland fame, the owner of this location must have spent HOURS meticulously placing all of these little details perfectly. You shouldn't miss out on this gorgeous location...
Still that was the peaceful me for today, later on I am sure you will see a crazier, Hairer side of me!!
What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - May in Reds
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Tattoos: *PerveTTe* - Little Things for You
Outfit: Valentina E - Breakfast Club Shirt Dress & Cardi in Pink & Green
It's the summer in the Northern parts of the world and that means that up here at least, it's festival season... I loved going to music festivals in the past, and had on a few occasions been part of the overly muddy rock crowd that filled Download Festival. Yet as much as I loved being part of the festival crowd I'm much more the sort to head to the live shows that don't mean I need to sleep in a tent for the weekend... Call me old if you want, but I cannot be without my soft comfy bed after a gig anymore!
HOWEVER, in SL there is a great festival going on at the moment... One full of live music, parties, discussions, art and shopping! It's an awesome way to bring the arts together and the place has a feel good vibe so that the minute you land it really feels fun to be at a festival... If you haven't heard of it, don't worry you still have time, but if you miss any event this summer make sure that you don't miss Indie Teepee!
Indie Teepee is all of these things set in a pretty location...
Now I love live music and art in SL, but if there is one thing that makes me REALLY happy - besides taking pictures and blogging that is - it's SHOPPING, and at Indie Teepee there are some awesome designers selling pretty things that are both bohemian and linked to a Midsummer Night's Dream.
Before I get too overly excited I will admit that most of my outfit here has nothing to do with the Indie Teepee, aside from the fact that it was what I was wearing whilst exploring, with one little exception...
The boots I have on are a release from Petite Mort that are on sale at the event. These are the Hendrix Boots in a teal colour, with other more natural colours also available. The teal colour went so well with my dress though that it was like they were made to be worn together. My dress is a release from A Breakfast Convo that I stumbled across in their main store and I fell in love with.
It was such a cute ensemble, that the hippy chick in me simply had to dance the night away with the other free spirits at the Indie Teepee!

Hair Fair 2016 is coming... The biggest Hair event in the SL calender will be crash landing into a collection of sims near you in just a few days and I wanted to take a few minutes just to let you know about one of the many awesome aspects that Hair Fair has to offer...
Aside from the chosen charity of Wigs for Kids - something I have talked about before and will no doubt be talking about again soon - the organisation of this event is cleverly thought out and well executed.
So many helpful tricks have been put into the planning of the event - things like the buildings being phantom so you don'need to worry too much about lag, you can simply walk through the walls, and many other great little tricks...
One of my favourite tricks that this event has always had though will be the awesome Demo Group...
We all know these events get SUPER LAGGY, but trying things on is a nightmare, and I personally never buy hair without at least trying it on to see the shape of it.. The Hair Fair team have an amazing group to help combat this...
The event opens on Saturday July 16th, and if you're anything like me you're feeling excited, but prior to that on Friday 15th - that's this coming Friday - the participating designers of Hair Fair 2016 will be sending their demos to a specially created group... This will mean that you're able to get your hands on the demos and try before you fight the lag!

SL - Why not join the group, grab a pen and paper - or make a SL notecard if you're not so Old School like me, and make a party of it... A Hair Fair Demo Party!! Sounds like fun, if anyone has one I wanna come!!
Moments like this do not happen very often but I think that it is time I shared a picture of Hell and I... Just Hell and I... No one else!! Don't look so shocked LOL I know it is rare but I do have moments with my hubby sometimes! Not that often and usually under duress - on his part I might add - but when I eventually get him to stop building, shooting, being a fart machine to entertain his brother Mongo, and he sits still for a few minutes, he actually makes a fairly good model... I have to work fast, he won't remain still for long, but I gotta hand it to him, in recent months my hubby has become pretty hot!
What started as an argument with Solde prior to her wedding - between Hell and Solde, I was not getting involved in that fight - has now become HellBone constantly shopping, being a fashionista - even if he does really only dress in biker style - and looking pretty good! He's even attracting more attention from the ladies hehe... It's so cute when he gets all unsure if someone is flirting with him LOL...
Our list of what are we wearing is listed below, but I am impressed that he sat still for a picture with me like this... I'm even more impressed that sitting down like this - using the Come Soon "One" Pose that is available from The Expo until July 27th - that he didn't catch something hehe... The underground bunker that we're on the steps of is the entrance to his special hide-out, the Doody Man cave, which he shares with his brother! There's no way I'd have sat on the steps LOL!!!

In the summer, everyone seems to be going on vacations... Travelling to explore interesting new places or going somewhere they can just kick back and unwind. It's the talk of the RL office that I work in, people constantly chatting about planned holidays and places they recommend from the past.
This year I won't be going anywhere... Least not for a while! Stuck in the position of working two jobs and not being able to afford to take time off of either, still perhaps in a few months I will be able to at least go home for a few days.
Until that time I have to listen to everyone I know talking about their planned adventures... I'm getting that feeling of Wanderlust... Perhaps that is why I've taken up residence in my Caravan more than any of the other houses I call home...
When I was younger I loved to travel. I wanted to see everything. I even jumped on a plane and flew to the other side of the world on my own seeking an adventure... New Zealand has been crossed off my bucket list, and the memories I have of that trip will remain with me always! Yet HellBone is a little less adventurous. I want to see places like China and India, he feels he wants to head to America and has this grand plan that he wants to ride to Sturgis on a Harley Davidson!
Still for now I have to make do with lazing around in my dust bunny Caravan - from the Wanderlust collection - and gaze at the Wanderlust wall hanging - from brocante which is available at No.21 until the end of the day today - planning my adventures in my mind.
Luckily because I am not travelling so much, my suitcases and trunks are providing excellent furniture pieces in the caravan... Tables and even chairs can be made from these things, chairs like this awesome mini couch from Lewd - a Trunk Seat that is available at the latest round of Cosmopolitan until July 16th by the way - so very comfortable, perhaps I will let my daydreams become nap dreams?!
