HAPPY NEW YEAR... Bring on 2021!

 I know that I'm a little bit early with this, but I'm getting it out there now as I'll be going away over the New Year - not for long just for a few days to escape the fireworks that have been banned in the Netherlands but people will no doubt be setting off - and I wanted to send a wish for a Happy and Prosperous New Year... Dammit this year, unlike the years gone by, we could use it more than before... 
It's going to be a strange celebration, everyone on their own in their lock down bubbles, but let's all try to remain a little positive. I'm definitely one for hoping that this pandemic cannot go on forever!!

I'm going to sit somewhere, deep in the woods in the Netherlands with a good book in one hand and a glass of something cold and bubbly in the other to toast the new year in... 
In SL, Rudh pulled on a pair of those AMAZING gift glasses - from (Yummy) - and stuck a straw in her 'champagne to go' - from Bad Unicorn - before setting her sparklers on fire and almost catching her hair in it... 
On the subject of hair, I am so excited that my last post of the year features one of my favourite hair designers, who coincidentally just accepted me as one of her bloggers - THANK YOU SO MUCH DOE - and sticking to the subject of favourite designers, I'm wearing the jacket and shirt from the Kiki Set - that I won from miss chelsea in their facebook contest to release their newest UBER collection!!!

Now that Christmas is over...

 I love Christmas, but thank goodness that it´s over. We have a lovely, peaceful and very relaxing holiday season, but every year my favourite time is actually the few days after Christmas has passed when you can just wallow into warm, cozy feeling... My house looks like absolute chaos, there´s still paper waiting to be put into the trash bin out back, and my refrigerator is stuffed full of leftovers. Aside from Halloween, it´s the most wonderful time of year!

I´ve chucked all my festive, Christmas clothing back into closet and pulled on something a little more normal for me - an adorable Resurrected dress from Psycho Barbie - and some super spiked Widow Boots - from Addicted Apothecary - I started to feel more normal. A bottle of wine or two, and well I started having trouble eating the plate of cookies I´d brought to munch on.

Shopping at the Christmas Market

 It's just a few days before Christmas now, the snow ball is rolling down the hill so fast that if you blink now you will miss the big day. I wanted to purchase a few little more gifties for the people that deserve them, and decided that some fresh air at the Cheri Noel outdoor Christmas market was the perfect place to go... It seemed that my Newfie Pewf pal - from Jian - decided that I would need help in picking out and carrying some more decorations for my home... 

Wandering around, through the stalls, picking up and collecting the packages wrapped in pretty paper and ribbons it started to feel more Christmassy today. Having forgotten her Shopping basket, she's having to balance everything in the sleeves of her Nice Sweater - from the Naughty or Nice Gacha collection by Mug at the Epiphany - and her bag balancing on her shoulder - a Candy Bag from MIDNA - she's kind of glad that the doggie is willing to take the wreath!!

Prayers from the Undertaker

I've been trying to get myself to feel festive lately, and I'll be honest when I say that this year the feeling seems so much harder to find than in past years... Yes there are so many reasons, and I know that I'm not the only one feeling them, but you'll have to forgive me for today being far from Christmas feeling! 
Today is somewhat somber, maybe a look into the hearts of many - myself included - that are without family this year due to separations and losses... So today, I'm in the graveyard, in mourning... 

I'm an undertaker right now... Standing alone in the graveyard, mourning the souls of the departed sending a little prayer to those that are no longer with us. Also sending thoughts of love and hugs and care to those that cannot be with their loved ones due to the Covid Pandemic. I know how you feel on that score, I miss my family so much but I lay a rose in the cemetery for you...
I keep a rose to my lips, the thorns scarring my delicate skin, but the roses are also tattooed over my chest close to my heart for each and every moment I'm in mourning... You can't really see the tattoo clearly in the pose but I wanted to share the store ad to show just how beautiful the tattoo from Psycho Barbie really is... I mean under a top it's pretty but with bare shoulders it's gorgeous!!

Light Me Up

It seems to be a customary thing for me every year to start working out ways to either get myself off of the naughty list, or embrace it more than ever. This year I am going to just say screw it and embrace the fact that I've been on the naughty list for years, and that's where I am going to stay. 
I even found some of my gifts that had been hidden away, and well, since I found them maybe it wouldn't hurt to have a little pre-Christmas fun... 

Cuffed in straps - wearing a Cuff Me Outfit from 1313 Mockingbird Lane, that's available at Fetish Fair for a little while longer - and some adorable Christmas Naughty Lingerie - from Mug' at The Epiphany - she wrapped herself in far too many Christmas lights and curled up in her darkened, yet magical room, to test drive her Christmas presents...

A Hot Bath on a Cold Day

Today has been my first day of my vacation over the festive season, I'm looking forward to a few weeks to relax... I have a lot of Christmassy things to get myself feeling a little festive. I've got presents to buy and wrap, people to spend some festive fun times with and so many things to see... 
However I am going to rest and relax... First with a nice hot chill in a pool... 

She's been chillaxing after working in the snowy garden, building snowmen and setting out lights around a Christmassy home... It's now time to relax and would it be wrong of me to drink the hot chocolate that I'm bathing in?! 
The Hot Cocoa Hot Tub from Violetility is available at Tannenbaum and it makes the whole hot tubbing and I'm testing the amazing Theodora Lingerie - from MuggleBorn - to see if it could be perfect for bathing in something hot like chocolate...

Ready to Fight...

 The whole of the Netherlands has from today gone into a new lock down. It´s something that has been on the cards for a long time, with the partial lockdown having already seen bars and restaurants closed for a while, but today was officially the first day that it's been an official thing. 
Yet, I'm more than a little frustrated because apparently even though our little shop is considered prestige and luxury - and very much non-essential - but as it's food stuff that we sell, we're going to be staying open. I'm not overly happy about this decision, but I have to go and I will be procecting myself as best I can... 

OK, Maybe I'd be doing it a little diffierently to the way Rudh decided to protect herself, but I'm definitely not willing to take any risks and will be doing everything I can to keep myself safe and Covid free.. 
Rudh decided to go maskless but as her protection she's taken a baseball bat and will be exacting some Road Warrior justice. Keeping her hands protected in a pair of gloves that are perfect for the Riot Kidz- created by PSYCHO.Byts.

Snowflake kisses on my cheeks...

Oooooh one of the best things about Second Life at this time of year is the snow... I HATE snow in RL because even though it looks pretty I know I'm always scared that I'm going to slip over and hurt myself, but in SL though it's a totally different story. I LOVE being out in the snow, dancing around and watching the flakes fall. Even the darkest little versions of me cannot help but smile as the soft white flakes kiss my skin... 

At Moochie, where 'Tis the Season, while out on a walk in the woods, looking for a quite place to commune with the moon goddess, the little dark being that I am wandered into a clearing and suddenly the snowflakes were kissing her cheeks... The smile was instant, proving that even the creatures of the dark cannot resist this pretty white stuff!

The Warrior with the Dragon Guard

The ancients were hiding in their fancy walled city, while the ferociously dark warrior army descended on the captial. The enslaved patrons of the city were willing and ready to relent, peeking from their crumbling homes as the invaders passed by. Less scary than their rumours portrayed them to be, although the fire in their eyes burns deep, they are only hungry for the death of their enemies!
Hiding in the temple the elders quake in fear as the enemy gets closer, until the sudden boom heralds their arrival...

The explosion, and the fire flicking against the wall and over the rubble that scatters the floor. The figure that steps through the gaping wound in the wall wreaks of chaos, havoc and death... Her blade is licked with the colours of blood and burning, and if her imposing figure in the AvaRoma uniform - from Moon Amore - the tattoo of Scorn - available now at Psycho Barbie - marked into her skin from her heart up her neck to her mind. Her tattoo giving her the control over the mythical beast that sent fear through the terrorised ancients hiding in sanctuary.

Taking a Peek

I am having one of those lovely fairly lazy weekends and I'm hoping that Christmas will mean that work gets a little more crazy this week. For now I'm just doing a little gentle shopping in Secondlife, preparing gifts for friends and family, wandering around the shops at Rosa Scotia and making a list of pretty things. That was until I wandered past the bakery... I had to double back and take a little peek in the window!

In real life I cannot walk past a bakery without holding my breath, just the smell of the freshly baked goodies makes me pile on the pounds. The delicious things smell so good, and I cannot help myself so I've learnt to hold my breath and avert my eyes... In SL looking in the window doen't hurt and I may even pop into the bakery and pick myself up some fresh bread.

Shanked for my Gifts!

 Since it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and there's a lot of preparation taking place in both the everyday and dark macabre underworld so the little demoness in me is desperate to get into the Christmas spirit... In the asylum that I'm locked in, it's hard to do, but anything that we have been given gifts of coal and candy, there are light's to play with too... 

I wrapped myself in pretty lights  - from Doe in my hair and the amazing glasses from E.Marie at Anthem - and then got into a fight with another of the inmates who took my candy from me and gave me a CandyCrush by making me some new piercings with the Candy Canes turned shanks - thanks to G.I.N at Necrosis this month. 
Anyway I just popped out to show you this awesome bag of coal that I got as a present, but now I have to head back into the party and beat the one who shanked me over the head with the Christmas tree!!

December 1st: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

It is December 1st and I'm finally allowing myself to starting allowing things to look a lot like Christmas. I've resisted the urge up until now, but today marks the start of all things Christmassy, It's not long now until the Fat Man in red graces us with his presence but everything is starting to feel a little magical in the drearest part of the most depressing year I've ever had! Let the Christmas magic begin I suppose...

I decided to start getting decorations ready, a little shopping had to be done to make things feel special and festive! I went to the adorable little market at Moochie, since 'Tis The Season and picked up a few things filling up my Holidays Shopping bag from MOVEMENT. 
Found the perfect outfit to shop and start my Christmas fun, it's a warm snuggly full coat from 1313 Mockingbird Lane called Bridget, and I'm wearing the matching boots - both of these things are available at Tannenbaum.
