Pandora's Box is soon to close... Today is the last chance to get your hands on all of the awesome goodies before it closes, and Dark Japan has been awesome to us this month. I've learnt so much and have some wonderful goodies from the boxes talented designers but there's just time for one more post and a little lesson about somewhere in Japan that I feel fits the box perfectly... It's a place called Aokigahara Forest at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan. There is a beautiful tribute to this sad place in Second Life that was perfect for allowing a little Pandora's Box monster to be free just a little while...
Known as "the perfect place to die" the Aokigahara Forest in Japan is one of the world's most 'popular' - although the word sounds terrible in this case - places to commit suicide.
Legend has it that ancient families would sacrifice members of the family by leaving them to die in the forest, deaths would have been long, horrible and drawn out due to starvation, creating the stories of hauntings amongst the trees. Yet this does not deter those in despair, annually around 70 corpses are found by the volunteers that clear the woods, and records of just how many wander in but never come out are no longer published so that there is no popularisation of the location.
There is a lot of information about the "Sea of Trees" available, check the wikipedia link to start with and don't miss out exploring Second Life's interesting tribute to this dark location.
Back to the box though, she's wearing some awesome goodies to take on the role of a spirit in the forest... This amazing mask is a Pandora's Box exclusive from Nana, and the amazing wiggly Bento Tail that is decorated with Shuriken from PSYCHO.Byts.
Now because this is a Pandora's Box post... You may want a reminder about Pandora's Box... As a basic reminder, the best place to go to sign up for your box is the Pandora's Box HQ.

Saturday, Saturday, I missed you SOOOOOOOO MUCH, it's kinda a shame that in my part of the world you're almost over! Now we have to wait a whole week for you to come back again... Still I've had a cool day taking silly pictures and getting my blogging groove back...
Today I was back playing one of my favourite characters, I'm a mermaid again. If I'm living in a fantasy playtime, I'm usually either something dead and depraved or something pretty fairytalish... Mermaidness comes up a lot... Today I'm a mermaid in a cheer squad... Don't ask me why, just accept it lol...
At the gorgeous Sunken Hall of Tides End, this cheer leading mermaid gets ready for the game...
The whole look came to life because I had the awesome Olyria Halter in Aqua from a gacha machine at Fetch, and somehow things just fell together. A pretty pair of Ariel Mermaid Leggings from WONDERLOST and then LOTS and LOTS of accessories including two sets of ears from Half-Deer and LovelyAlien, and a gorgeous Clingy Octopus from {aii}.
I guess you might call it my look of the day... Sometimes I´m a little weird, no?

I love blogging, I love the creative process that goes into each and every post and I LOVE being able to share the things I enjoy with people - whether they read things or not LOL, but sometimes I find myself thinking I need to do something quick and easy just to fill a gap in a blogger block. Once that gap is filled the block usually goes away and I'm able to start my creativity flowing again. Today is one of those days. SO, today I'm going to show you something pretty that I took, quick and easy, with limited editing YAY... That's unusual I know. Let's see how it goes?!
The entire reason for this picture and post today is because of the Necklace. It's a brand new release from Nightmare for this new round of Suicide Dollz. It's such a pretty necklace that comes in a whole range of girlie pastel colours, and whilst being somewhat gothic with the pentagram it's perfect for a pretty witch!
Now you have to mind my face, I got myself a little bit scratched up - thanks to some awesome scars from Izzie's at the current round of The Epiphany - whilst I was climbing through these gorgeous flowers at House of Tea, which can be found at WHOLE WHEAT, as I was trying to find the perfect spot for a photo. The colours in the background perfectly match some of the colours that this necklace comes in, it was a location made in heaven hehe...
I think I have my groove back, I'll have to play with some more pictures and find out!!!
What is she wearing;
Hair: TRUTH - Margarita in Redheads (Available until August 23rd at UBER)
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Wounds: Izzie's - Scars Gacha Items (Available until August 15th at The Epiphany)
Necklace: Nightmare - Breathless Set (Available until August 3rd at Suicide Dollz)
Top: Ascend - Jean Cropped Tank top in White
Pose: Signature Pose - Ghost
Work is such a rude word sometimes isn't it? It spoils our fun, and it's something that we have to do to bring in a few pennies to pay the bills... It can be made more fun, however, if you have a good job that you can enjoy, that makes things a little more interesting. I love my job working with college students helping them to learn to use SL, but Rudh needed something a little more challenging - as if being the Secretary for the Gators wasn't enough - she found herself a new job with plenty of perks LOL...
LOL OK OK I joke, she's not really working in a porn store like at Midnight Glory, but wouldn't it be fun?! Think of all of the free testers to be able to say "Yes this works well!"
She dressed for the part, not that the new dress that she is wearing from Addams - which is still available at The Crystal Heart Festival until July 31st - is the perfect outfit to wear in a porn store, although matching it with matching pink Beusy hair and some adorable accessories does give her that cute edgy look... Maybe she could get herself a proper new job?!
What is she wearing;
Hair: Beusy - Catalyst Hairstyle in [WDWMKR Gacha] UNCOMMON
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Glasses: Rebellion - Savant Specs
Choker: Can't Even - Pacifier Choker in Black
Dress: Addams - Noel Costume Dress in N*41 (Available until July 31st at The Crystal Heart Festival)
Pose: Signature Pose - Rudh
While Pandora's Box is open and it's all about Dark Japan... Now I know I've said this but I was a bit worried about not knowing anything Japanese, yet during my hunt for what I do know I was reminded that one of my biggest guilty addictions in SL stems from Japan... Gacha!
So I decided that my second post for Pandora's Box would be a shout out to one of Second Life's most popular Gacha events - The Epiphany, whilst at the same time subtly promoting one of my favourite stores - CURELESS, even though neither of these places have anything to do with the boxes contents!
In the box this month however, you will find not one but two of the pretties I'm sharing with you here... These awesome Koi Getas, from 1313 Mockingbird Lane, come in black and silver, and the gorgeous full body Makoto tattoo from Endless Pain Tattoos that decorates my entire body are both available in this month's box.
Now because this is a Pandora's Box post... You may want a reminder about Pandora's Box... As a basic reminder, the best place to go to sign up for your box is the Pandora's Box HQ.

Shoes: 1313 Mockingbird Lane - Koi Geta (Available in Pandora's Box for July)

One Genre of style that you will rarely see me getting into is anything that could be classed as Sci-Fi or Space. For the longest time I've had a bit of a phobia of aliens, and even though HellBone forced me to watch Star Wars and is the biggest Star Wars fan on the planet, I'm still very uncomfortable around the genre. Though now that Indie Teepee has opened for 2017, and there is an area that is perfectly dedicated to the futuristic with some awesome things to buy and shows to see, AND if that wasn't enough to shove me in the direction of something futuristic and Sci-Fi, WHOLE WHEAT have an awesome new pose location set up... These things were a match made in heaven!
In the new Futuristic Booth at WHOLE WHEAT, I decided it would be fun to make myself a little cyborg babe character...
Thanks to a cute HoloMask from Violetility - which is available until August 6th at Indie Teepee by the way - and a dangerous curve hugging dress from WONDERLOST called Annie Three Stripe that's available at Somber until August 6th. To accessorise I added a pretty hairstyle from adoness, I am a little late with blogging this because it was a Hair Fair release but I guess it's better late than never - I hope I'll be forgiven for being so late with this.
So my little cyborg was running around in the space station, brandishing her DISORDERLY Water Gun - from the Stay Gold Summer Gacha at The Epiphany - shouting "Pew Pew Pew" and trying not to harm her goldfish!
What is she wearing;
Hair: adoness - Fulla in Hunter
Mask: Violetility - HoloMask (Available until August 6th at Indie Teepee)

It's that time of the month again, Pandora's Box has officially opened for July and this time we are heading on a dark and twisted journey into the world that is Dark Japan. Now I know I said this before, and I have no trouble saying it again, that I was and maybe still am, a little concerned about how I will handle this month. I know very little about the Japanese culture, and feel a bit like I might make a mess of things, but once the box was opened I was pleasantly surprised... There were lots of lovely things that I will be able to use and enjoy, to bring new and interesting characters to life...
So let's take a step into the world of Dark Japan, welcome to the July Pandora's Box...
Rudh is welcoming you to the Dark Japanese world, wearing a gorgeous Fan Headdress from Occult - in this month's Pandora's Box - it seemed to work perfectly with a non-box related release from WONDERLOST, which is available at the current round of The Secret Affair - and the cute BF Store Choker - which is available in the Pandora's Box.
In the background - which a lovely photo box created by BUENO - you may notice the dark Shinigami Gazebo which I've used as a decorative prop BUT is also awesome for any Japanese garden - a gift in the Pandora's Box from [QE Home].
Now because this is a Pandora's Box post... You may want a reminder about Pandora's Box... As a basic reminder, the best place to go to sign up for your box is the Pandora's Box HQ.

Although I have many characters in SL which come to life depending on the day and my mood, I will admit that my usual Rudhishness is actually a Living Dead Doll... You know that by now I'm sure, and you may have realised that it's all because of a song by Mr Rob Zombie, but did you ever wonder where this storyline of my SL came from? No matter your answer, I'm going to take some time today to tell you the story LOL... Whether you read it or not is up to you, but at least you get a pretty picture to look at as I weave my interesting tale...
When Rudh was born into the SL world, almost 11 years ago now, the world was a different sort of place, she found her way into a family of dragons swiftly becoming the Princess - a sister to the Golden Dragon Queen. It was at this time she discovered her parental heritage was not what she had once thought, her shape-shifting mother had a penchant for the magical men and she had been brought to life by a match with a Fae Warrior, while her older sister - well you can tell what her paternal heritage was by her title!
She took many roles in her early life, growing as a Fairy Princess and soon slipping into a darker world of SL becoming a stripper to pay for an ever increasing shopping habit. It was around this time, that poor little Fairy Princess Rudh was bitten by a vampire, yet for some reason the taste of blood was abhorrent to her, and it wasn't long before little Rudh began to fade and become a dolly - not fully alive and not fully dead, a living dead doll...
The bite wound on her shoulder became infected - thanks to the awesome Apoca Gacha Items from AsteroidBox - and now she enjoys both the dark macabre side of her being while still clinging to the fairy princess that she once was... It's a difficult combination, but on days like today when the needs to hunt down and exact a little revenge on one of those that turned her, she loves nothing more than to wander the abandoned streets of Lockwood and hunt for some fun...
What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Kyoko in Reds
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Goggles, Necklace, Wound, Bat & Bag: AsteroidBox - Apoca Survive Gacha Items (Available until July 20th at LootBox Gacha)
Top: Hilly Haalan - Gretchen Mini Crop Top and Bra Set
Skirt: Emery - Bangalor Shirt in 6 (Available until July 23rd at Uber)
Pose: Signature Pose - Boo
There are big storms coming to Holland this afternoon and evening, at least that's what the weather man says - but we know that they aren't right all of the time! Due to the upcoming storms though, it's beginning to get a little dark and close here... Any slight movement brings you out in a sweat, and the dark is coming very early today... I CANNOT WAIT, I LOVE STORMS!!
Still now that it's getting so dark, we need to find a way to bring the light... Being the dark little miscreant that I am sometimes, I put in a few calls and someone is coming to bring some light very soon... Here she is now in fact...
In the Kingdom of Taure Ru lives a beautiful and serene being, her name is too difficult to say in the human tongue but many who know of her refer to her as The Lightbringer...
A demonic creation of Ama - who created the large horns, body tattoo and lamp - and Aii, she brings light into the darkness... A form of torture that some might say is more effective than pain could ever be, the light of always illuminates what people do not wish to see.
The chains of her dress announce her arrival... Either that or the thunder is very far away but coming at least... For now though a little light is not a bad thing as far as I'm concerned, I have nothing to hide!
What is she wearing;
Large Horns, Tattoo & Lamp: Ama - The Lightbringer Gacha Items (Available until July 20th at The LootBox Gacha Event)
Hair: Truth - Taja in Redheads
Small Horns & Wounds: {aii} - Kintsukuroi Horns
Eyes: CUREMORE - Scar Tissue Gacha Items in Allergic Eyes
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Dress: Addams - Queen Metal Dress in N*10

So I have been a bit of a bad blogger lately, I take pictures and lose them in my massive collection on my PC and then things reach the end of the time frame as events close or change round and I still have stuff stashed away from the previous rounds that I intended to blog... I mean, I spend ages getting creative and working my little butt off to make sure I have the shot and outfit list ready then I forget about it... I'm so awesome sometimes LOL!!!
An example of that is what I plan to share with you today... These AMAZING shoes, which I had to wear to one of my favouritest places ever!!!
OK OK so it is a SL version of one of my favouritest places ever, but that's OK... The ForeverLand Park of Magic is one of a few Disneyland based locations in SL, and this one seems fairly well put together... LOTS of characters are here to see and it's all so pretty!!!
Now onto the Shoes, which I'm guessing you may have already noticed the shoes that I'm referring to. I saw these at the last round of Lost & Found which actually closes today, so you may be lucky enough to be able to get in and grab a pair, but I am hoping they are returned to the mainstore - Stelloane - very soon so that you can get your hands on the Dead Mouse Shoes... These tick two boxes for me, my Disney fetish and my dead things fetish LOL... Rudh was a happy girl, though maybe I'd not be allowed to wear these in the true house of the mouse?!
What is she wearing;
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Shoes: Stelloane - Dead Mouse Queen Shoes (Available until July 18th at Lost & Found)
Pose: Image Essentials - Demure 4
Hair Fair is now over... This year was a really great one and soon they will be able to tell everyone just how much money was raised on behalf of Wigs for Kids, but it's time to get ready for something new. A new week, a new day and the best way to start a Monday morning is to jump in the shower and sing your little heart out...
I know that the picture seems a little sad, I've been going through a lot lately and I'm sure that I will be able to find the strength to at least give a little insight soon, yet for now I'm going to wash all my troubles away - or as I'm singing "Wash it all away" it provides more meaning at the moment I guess - and start my week with a smile!
This hair is one of my last Hair Fair releases that I want to share with you, now that the event is officially over I'm sure it will be brought to the store but I couldn't resist this adorable style from Argrace. I love the hair that Argrace makes for editorial use, you wouldn't necessarily want to wear this out on the street but in pictures like this it's PERFECT! Plus it was a 100% Donation item to the charity so I really couldn't resist...
Now that the fair is over though I'm going to wash out my hair and let it dry before styling into some other random crazy do! I just wish I'd washed my make up off first, Mascara hurts when it gets into your eyes - Running Mascara by ARISE and Smeared Lipstick by Izzie's by the way - luckily the warm water is washing the sting away leaving glistening droplets on my skin - also courtesy of Izzie's.
For now though it's time that I dry myself off and make myself pretty, the world is calling and I need to go buy catfood LOL...
What is she wearing;
Hair & Pose: Argrace - SHIMIZU in Reds
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Mascara Tears: ARISE - Running Mascara
Lipstick: Izzie's - Smeared Lipstick
Water Marks: Izzie's - Wet Body & Face (Available until July 20th at Summerfest)

It's a very special day today at Hair Fair... The last day of the event has always been a day known as Bandana Day. Today is all about removing your wigs and pulling on one of the charity bandanas that have been made by some awesomely creative people - both well known and lesser known people have thrown their artistic flair onto some awesome bandanas, of which 100% of sales goes directly to the Wigs for Kids charity!
SO every year I make it a mission to choose my favourite of the bandana's and do something fun and silly with it to share the Bandana Day love... This year, the bandana I chose had me feeling a little mystic, a little magical, a little in a bottle perhaps?!
The Baiastice Bow Turban is a special Bandana for the Hair Fair this year. It's only available until tonight when the even closes until next year but remember when you buy this bandana all the proceeds go to charity. I was instantly thinking of Genies due to the turban so that's why this picture came to life...
This poor little - moss&mink - Dreamy Genie - is being sucked back into the lamp - also by moss&mink - and apparently she really doesn't want to if the look on her face is anything to go by. Is that something you can blame her for though I mean SERIOUSLY that lamp is TINY!!!

Head Accessory: Baiastice - Bow Turban in Turquoise (Available until July 16th at Hair Fair 2017)

Tomorrow is a special day at Hair Fair, and I will be able to share that with you then but for today, I wanted to take some time out and revert to something a little childish...
Hair Fair is all about raising money for the children in need of wigs due to circumstances beyond their control... So I think it's apt that I do something a child would appreciate, just this once! Of course, it has to be Disney related...
I mentioned before that my mother used to read me fantasy stories, but it was my father that actually introduced me to Winnie the Pooh.
I was at a little Gacha event called The Gacha Guardians, where I stumbled across this adorable gacha set by comet, the 100 Acre Wood Gacha that is complete with Pooh, Piglet and if you're very lucky Eeyore!
Now to attract the bees and make some more honey for Pooh, I'm wearing a pretty Sunflower in my hair - a new hair from Wasabi Pills for this year's Hair Fair!!
Anyone think of sharing my honey?
What is she wearing;
Hair Accessory: BOOM - Sunflower Hair Decor in Original
Hair: Wasabi Pills - Elle Mesh Hair in Reds (Available until July 16th at Hair Fair 2017)
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2

When I was a little girl my mum used to read me bed time stories, never the children's books although I was introduced to Dr.Seuss very young, but more the stories that were written for older audiences. I was involved in Lewis, Tolkein and Carroll... I LOVED the fantasy worlds that they created where animals talked and magic was all over the place, as I grew older I loved the subtler things I'd missed as a child, and I guess now days I count my love for these collections as the reason I'm so crazy about creating fantasy characters for myself.
This time it's Wonderland... I seem to go to Wonderland a lot more than any other fantasy realm, maybe because it's so crazy... I mean just look at what I found there today?!
When I went to explore the amazing location that is the Chess Wonderland, I was minding my own business when a different type of Mad Hatter appeared, this one is more Psycho than mad it seems...
Covered in scars, drinking tentacle tea and carrying the weirdest Wonderland inhabitants she looked at me through dead eyes, dancing a little so that her pretty dress moves - a dress from Oubliette at anyBody.
She whispers "Alice?"

On July 22nd, the Loot Box that is Pandora's Box will once again open to reveal some awesome goodies for those of you that love the Alternative lifestyle. This month it's all about Dark Japan.
Now as a part of the Pandora's Box Blogging Team I am not ashamed to admit that I am more than a little worried about this box opening... Dark Japan is something that I know very, very little about. In fact, I know very little about the Japanese culture altogether, so I guess that this box will be a learning experience for me as well as a chance to play around with something that I never delved into before! I'm actually looking forward to meeting some new challenges, but before we go and open the box it's time I remind you of how it's all going to work...
If you want the Loot Box, now is the time to start thinking about it... Until July22nd sign ups for the box will cost 1500L, but after this date the price will go up... More details are listed below...
Look at that list of designers, this is going to be a good round. Some damn good ones in there, including a store that I rave about a lot PSYCHO.Byts... So even if you haven't a clue - like me - about Dark Japan, I'm sure there is something in there that will be worth you opening Pandora's Box!
So how does Pandora's Box work? To get your hands on a Pandora's Box loot box, you pay a set amount of money - in the case of the Pandora's Box the initial amount is 1500L - to a Kiosk and will be added to the list that will receive a box. Then on the 22nd of the month, if you've paid the kiosk in time, you will be sent your very own Pandora's Box filled with goodies from 10 different designers - that you can see listed in the picture above - and that's where the chance comes into play, because there's a chance you won't like things inside, but there's also a chance that you will LOVE everything in the box... Risk is, you won't know what you're getting till you get the box!!!!! Isn't it exciting?!HOWEVER, if you decide you want to wait until things start being shown off by bloggers and designers alike, then you're able to do so... After the box is released on the 22nd of the month, the group will remain open - although the cost to join will increase to 2500L - and you will be able to get all the goodies inside! If this is your plan though you will need to hurry! On the 30th of each month, the group will be cleared and the whole process will start again for the coming month!! Sounds simple right? If you have more questions then you may want to check out the Pandora's Box Website, and then head on down to the Pandora's Box HQ or one of the sponsoring stores to subscribe at the Pandora's Box Subscriber!!!I'm really excited to see where this alternative loot box will take us and cannot wait to see the surprises inside!!!!
The Ghost Bullys MC are hosting the Rally to Rescue at the moment, and if you're looking for a fun place to hang out then you may want to check out this event.
I grabbed some of my little friends and took a walk on this gorgeous sim, with a special even that simply needs to be supported!!!
My Jian and PSYCHO.Byts Pitbulls were the perfect companion while exploring the rally. For those of you that have no idea what a rally is, let me explain... A Rally is a gathering of bikers, people with a love of motorbikes, and well, anyone and everyone is welcome! It's a big excuse for a long party and they are always so much fun!
The Ghost Bullys MC are people I will now admit I'd not really met before, but they are a friendly bunch and have some AWESOME events running and planned for their patrons. Let me share with you the schedule for the last two days of the event;
Tuesday July 11th
12pm - Stevie Ray Vaughn Concert (street stage)
2pm - Rally To Rescue Charity Rideout (all are welcome!)
4pm - Motorhead Tribute Concert
Wednesday July 12th
12pm - The Blues Brothers Concert (street stage)
2pm - MC Charity Rideout (all MC's welcome)
4pm - Five Finger Death Punch Tribute Concert
6pm - Strut Your Mutt Real Life Pet Photo Contest Ends
6pm - Swap Meet Ends
Though I do have to send an apology to the Ghost Bullys for not sharing this sooner...
To make this rally even more important, they are raising money for a very worthy cause. On a normal basis this caring and giving group raise money for Pitbull awareness, but this rally has proceeds going to Operation Delta Dog - a charity that assists in the training and provision of dogs for veterans and others in the services that are suffering with terrible things such as PTSD!
Not only do they have all these events, they also have a collection of Bike Builders offering Bikes for sale with donations made to charity.
To check out the event please feel free to go the Ghost Bullys MC and take a look around...
Its hot and overcast here in Holland. The sun seems to be trying to force it's way through the clouds, but there is a possibility that the clouds will say "No Not Today!" Sounds boring but I'm hoping it does come out, because well I have laundry to do LOL... I lead such a glamorous lifestyle, I swear.
Luckily Rudh is up and out and already causing chaos... She found herself at a beach party and even though it's only 10AM here in Holland, she's already hitting the Pina Colada served in a Pineapple!!!
Oh to live the life of of the SL glamorous huh?! Not sure I could take it all the time but ya know it might be fun just once LOL...
Today she's been having a leisurely morning swim at the Banana Bay, before hitting the beach bar. Dressed in a somewhat cheeky bikini - a brand new Boho Suit Set from Nightmare which you can get your hands on in an array of colours at anyBody until July 15th - she pulled on a pair of sunglasses. Due to her just coming out of the sea they're now a little bit wet but it will dry soon enough - just an f.y.i, the sunglasses are a new release from Izzie's at Summerfest!!
All she needed now was a drink, something fruity and summery and fun... Thanks to the bartender she got what she was looking for, a gorgeous drink served in true beachy style... A Pineapple Party Palm Drink - thank you Schadenfreude for making these!
Now let's get this beach party started!!! WOOT WOOT!

One of the things I LOVE most about Second Life is that it can be a world of fantasy - from living a life that you want to live and looking like your idea of perfection, to being a crazy fairy tale character, anything in Second Life is possible. You should know by now just how much I love playing dress-up and making new characters for myself, the fantasy characters being my favourites, of course.
Today I decided to do something really pink and girlie, due to the sprouting of my new wings...
The growing of my new wings caused more than one change in me today, but these are PSYCHO.Byts Pixie Bento Wings, so I wasn't really surprised by the changes. First her eyes changed, and then suddenly her hair - which is a Doe gacha release at this month's LootBox Gacha Event.
Then once the transformation was complete there was only one thing that this little fairy wanted to do, skip through the pretty magical fields at the Mystical Fae Forest and gather flowers to make into jewellery... I caught a snapshot of her whilst she was stopping for a breather, fairies are hard to catch on camera, wearing a wreath of Passion Flowers...
What is she wearing;
Hair Flowers: LODE - Passiflora Wreath in Pink
Hair: Doe - Cherry in Colors (Available until July 20th at Lootbox Gacha)
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Eyes: CUREMORE - Scar Tissue Gacha Item in Allergic Eyes
Wings: PSYCHO.Byts - Pixie Bento Wings in Size 3 Green V2 (Available until July 9th at Midsummer Enchantment)
Dress: offbeat x momento . flower in the heart gacha in Dress RARE (Available until July 10th at Kustom9)
Summer is here and it's getting a little too hot for me. I'm not ashamed to admit that behind the avatar is a big girl - I'm nothing like Rudh in RL aside from my personality being one and the same - but when it starts heating up, I find myself starting to wither and longing for the colder weather again. Crazy right?
Still in SL I have no problems, and can run around like a headless chicken enjoying the summer 'heat'. I feel lucky in saying that it's awesome to be able to click a button and find yourself on some awesome fun beaches.
Although poor Rudh forgot her sunscreen last time she went to the beach!! Ouch!!
This time she's at the beach she's been a smart girl, she picked up some new Sunblock that she's wearing like a necklace - available from Katat0nik at Summerfest until July 20th - so that she will never be without any! So now, that she's heading to a beach party - this time at the Frisky Beaver Beach Club - she's protected... The sunburn - an applier from Izzie's by the way - still looks a little ouchies though!! Still in her super cute bikini bottoms - that are part of a set called Jasmina from Rebel Hope - and adorable sunglasses - from Suicidal Unborn, she seems more than happy to ignore the sunburn sting and offer you some pineapple - thanks to a pose called Fruity from FOXCITY which is available at SaNaRae until July 18th! OH AND before I forget, isn't her hair SO CUTE!!! It's a style from Wasabi Pills that is currently available from Hair Fair 2017 until July 16th. The hair comes with or without the little braids, so when you buy it you get not just one but two slightly different wigs, AND you help to raise money for Hair Fair's chosen charity - Wigs for Kids.
Right now it's time for some Summer Fun... Although actually while we're on the subject of raising money, and discussing summer fun, I am going to take a moment to say, if you LOVE photography and want the chance to win yourself some lindens, why not enter a summer fun picture into the Gators MC Photo Contest where you could win yourself lots of Lindens - currently around 2,000L$ - which to go back even further into my post would be a great amount to buy LOTS of new Hair and raise money for the charity?! If you want to enter, why not pop over to Gator Sim and take a look, or alternatively ask one of the Gators. You know how to find me in world by now hehe...

I would never fully admit to being a girlie girl... I love being a dead dolly, and I love the idea of being a Disney Princess, but I'm never the kind of girl to say she's girlie. I look at friends being pretty and girlie and think, hmm I could do that, but it never really pans out the way I intend it to. There's always an element of the naughty, the depraved or the weird in there somewhere...
I bought some gorgeous lingerie, and wanted to share it, but once again it went from being about the pretty girlie, to being a little bit of a naughty spoilt princess!
Here she is in a moment during our photo shoot of "UGH NOT THIS TIARA!"
Such a spoilt brat she is... I wonder if there is anyone out there that could control her?!
Here we were, trying to get her ready for a ball in a dressing room at Le Salon of Saint LaCroix and all the spoilt little brat can do is parade round the room wearing nothing but her BigBeautifulDoll designer lingerie and heels, cussing at everyone around that it's the wrong f***in' tiara. The tiara in question if gorgeous though, it's a Blueberry Iconic Doll Tiara.
Maybe some day the spoilt princess will be happy? Maybe some day I'll find someone to control her?! Till that day, I better go find the right tiara!
What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Taja
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Necklaces: Supernatural - Belle Set in White
Tattoo: White Widow - Chocolat in Black
Lingerie: BigBeautifulDoll - ARIANNA Mesh Lingerie Set in White
Tiara: Blueberry - Iconic Doll in Tiara Gold
Pose: Signature Pose - Broken Promises (Bento)
The bad girl has been subdued, it says so in the cards... A gypsy has moved into the gardens around my farm and she brings magic and portents of trouble.
In the setting sun she lures you to her caravan, open to the elements to let them aide her in her reading of your fortunes... I wonder what the future holds for you?
Her wagon is a new release from Violetility - available at The Fantasy Collective - and it makes the perfect place for some outdoor living... Add chairs for comfy seating or as in the case of our gypsy girl use it for your readings with just the bare essentials... Some lights to read by and a Crystal Ball for when the cards aren't enough...
Her skirt is new... A colour she may normally never have chosen, but the cards told her to wear this gorgeous Twilight - almost purple - Brujah Maxi skirt from Oubliette - available until July 22nd at The Darkness Chamber Fair - and well, although the skirt is gorgeous, and she would have chosen it anyway, you never wanna anger the spirits right?
