In the Neon Light

Honestly recently I´ve been getting the creative feeling back and making pictures that are making me feel happy. Trying to enjoy myself playing with photography, more for the fun of it than just purely because I need to find something to blog... I realised recently that the deadlines were becoming more of the priority, and since I made other changes to my SL, now it´s time to do this too... 
I've been playing a lot with Neon Colours and mixing them into my dark style, and the results are making me super happy...

This outfit was actually a look-of-the-day that I'd thrown on in the spur of the moment... I LOVE this Naahmah dress, from Salem - which I will admit had me singing the classic muppet song "mah nah men ah" while I was putting the look together - and then I added the fine details such as this Medicated Tattoo from FIKA - that has a selection of different word slogans you can choose from - and the gorgeous jewellery collection, called Royals, from RAWR! It was an outfit that made me smile and well, I think the picture, shows just how much I love it perhaps LOL...

Hair: DOUX  - Vanilla Hairstyle
Bindi: RAWR! - Royals Bindi

Music to Dance to!

I've been listening to music and dancing around the house as I've been cleaning today... Honestly, there is nothing better than a good rock track to clean to, or a good pop song to dance along to.. I have been all over the place with my music choices today - something heavy leading into Disney songs and back to cheesy pop music... There's nothing better than dancing around with some loud music to make you smile... 

Dancing in the record shop in the village of Rosa Scotia, as sh tries to find herself a new record to take home and enjoy on repeat, What will it be this time? Something different o more of her favourite Rocky style... 
While we're watching her dance, maybe it's a good tie to talk about the Look-of-the Day that she's been wearing on and off for a few weeks LOL... It's a cute outfit made up mostly from Mug goodies... A Monica Skirt and a Punk Rocker Band Tee that she picked up in a gacha machine.

Here Boy... Nice little Robo Woofer! Come to Rudhie!!

I feel like I've been trapped for so long, doing something that was causing me to downward spiral far too regularly as of late... Now that things have begun to calm down and there has been a massive shift in the way I'm thinking, I can see more clearly and the prison-like feeling has gone!! 
Well that was until Rudh said something evil and ended up being locked in the Joplino Prison in Backdrop City... 

Sitting on the floor of the cells in the Neon Cyber city, Rudh noticed that the Robo Woofers - from Hilted - had a hold of the key that might open the door to her cell... Since YES, even though it was a modern cyber neon city with robot dogs and neon in every colour possible, they still relied on the old fashioned lock and key system... 
Slipping her legs through the bars, an easy feat considering they were wrapped in some gorgeous Estries Boots - from Psycho.Byts - that slipped through the bars like a knife through butter, she decided to try and lure the puppy over. He seemed to be attracted to flashing lights, so maybe the light on her duckie house arrest band would help?!

Hair: Wasabi - Asia Hair in Fireworks
Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory

The Spring brings the Fairies out

Yesterday I did something so weird but this time I started something totally different.. Today I felt like doing something bright and springy... 
Today the Spring Fae popped her head out the door and decided that today would be a great day for showing her face... The sun was slowly warming, but there was still that touch of the end of winter in the air. Flowers are beginning to spring up everywhere, and life seems to be getting sparkly, new and fresh again...  

As she wanders through the gardens, she collects her adorable little friends, the cute little Rabbits and the Hedgehoggie - available from Foxwood - the Winter Moon Garden is beautiful in the early spring light... Collecting flowers and dancing in the light...

Where have the Teletubbies gone?

I warn you now... I'm in a weird mood today... LOL... Weird and twisted and silly all in the same space... It's an interesting place to be, and I think that I'm going to point the finger of blame on the Necrosis that is seeping out over Second Life... 
Necrosis is once again opening the tombs and letting the darkness fill the cemetery to bring forth a host of macabre delights... This time it's not alone, the dead are bringing something far more sinister... Leviathans have been unleashed and they are wreaking havoc all over the place... Spreading their chaos even so far as the happier places on earth... 

A little microphone appears in the ground, although it's nervous whispering ensures it has seen better days... If you listen closely, you get to hear "Where have the Teletubbies gone?" In the distance you hear what could have once been happy song but now in the desolate Wastelands it is the singing of a mad person "lalalalala"... The last remaining Teletubbie, obviously found the other Teletubbies and judging by the scar on her forehead, she's joined the Leviathan Cult - courtesy of Skoll at the new round of Necrosis. It might not have been so noticeable, I mean if you can overlook the fact that black good is leaking from her face and tentacles are coming out of her mouth - thanks to the habiti set from G.I.N at Necrosis - and I suppose the fact that she mutilated the other Teletubbies?! 

What is she wearing;
Hair: Foxy - Adore Hair in Reds
Forehead Wound: Skoll - Leviathan Cult in Forehead 1 (Available until April 9th at Necrosis)
Eyes: Suicidal Unborn - Phantom Eyes in V.2

Welcome to the Jungle

It's a jungle out there kiddies, everyone is struggling to stay alive right now but sometimes I wish that Darwin's Theory of Evolution would work more for the human race... Seriously, just going to the store today proved to me that there needs to be a reduction of stupid in the human gene pool... Sorry I know that sounds callous, but I cannot stop that thought whenever I go out in public sometimes... 
Although, once again, the thoughts on my mind take me to places that are mirrored in Second Life... Rudh ended up in the jungle... 

In the jungle of Chankanaab, she is going to become one of the woodland sprites... Dancing through the trees and singing with the birds, while her pretty little dragonfly friends - Aether Moths from Astara at the last few days of the Gacha Guild's Sailpunk Event... 
An outfit adorning her frame, fit for a jungle goddess - from Belle Epoque - is gorgeous. Decorated with gold trimmings and butterfly wings...

Not in the Mood...

I've had a pretty random week in my SL so far this week... Things have been strange for me but things are actually looking a lot brighter than they have for a long time, and I can finally honestly admit that I'm happy!! I didn't realize just how much of a mood I'd gotten myself into - in SL - I'd been using SL as an escape from the feelings of the pandemic, but actually even SL was becoming something I was finding myself forced to participate in... 
Luckily on Sunday all of that stopped... Now I'm taking a step back from a LOT of things and slowly I'm beginning to find myself again... For now though, I'm hiding a little, biding my time... 

Having a package delivered I realized that it wasn't the contents that I needed but the box itself... What better way to hide away from the world than to turn the box into my own private little "Top Secret Hidey Hole" - from Violetility at the new round of The Warehouse until April 18th - and armed with some snacks - thanks to the Dust Bunny Cheese Puffs - a good book - like the Junk Food Constant Anxiety book, which could be useful reading material right now - and even my beaten up ol' teddy - which is in fact a Scare Bear from Sakura - and a HUGE comfy "Mood" Sweater Dress - from Salt & Pepper, that was a free gift a while back... 

What is she wearing; 
Outfit: Salt & Pepper - Mood Sweater Dress

Neon to Light the Night...

I'm not really in the mood to do anything other than just sleep for the next few weeks... An emotional weekend, a lot of drama and a possible third wave of Covid across Europe, it's just not looking very positive in my head right now... 
I'm just going to close my eyes and think of something bright and sparkly to make myself smile... 

Doing that has worked, it's taken me to a magical place where I seem to be away with the fairies and the sparkles are brightening my mood, giving me a neon glow and making everything seem less dramatic... 
I'm not really in a writing much mood today... There's too much bubbling through my mind, and I NEED to clear it out before I start writing nonsense again, bear with me...

Hat & Hair: Tableau Vivant - Mourning Sisters in Sorrow Colors

Watching the World go by...

Yesterday I turned 35 and it was my second lockdown Birthday since the Covid Pandemic started. I will admit that this year, was a little different from the last as I KNEW what I had coming. but somehow it felt lonlier and more empty than last year. 
I was spoilt by my hubby but had no visits from family or friends, and even things in SL were very quiet, yet I had a had a good day overall... I'm just trying to sit pensive and thoughtful for a moment as I hope I can get myself back to positivity after a few days of feeling empty... 

I was laying on a comfy sofa, reading a good book - nothing feels better than reading a good book to take you away from the feeling of lonliness during this time - but I was distracted by the silence in the city that is locked down by a curfew clock. Laying my reading glasses aside, I sat up and watched from the balcony, basking in the flickering lights...

I'm just a skater girl...

Today at work while listening to the radio, they were discussing things that we used to deal with in our teens. Things that we did that we look back on fondly now, but at the time thought was just normal every day things... There were things I remembered... Spending hours in silly stores shopping for teenage dream jewellery... Dancing around my room listening to rock music... Hanging around the skatepark watching the cute skaterboys lol... 

I guess my look of the day today is something that I've been loving since I randomly threw it on... Honestly it wasn't something that I would normally have chosen to wear, but wow it looked like a fun outfit.

This Milkshake is bloomin' MOOVELOUS!

I've been very much playing around with different looks lately, and I KNOW that this seems to be something that has appeared a little lately, but for some reason today I found out that I like being a little cow... Drove the hubby made repeatedly singing "My Milkshake brings all the boys to the Barn", and yes I know it's the wrong words but I was in a Barn, not a yard LOL... It's been a lot of fun, frolicking like a cute little calf for the day!!! It's getting late though, so maybe I should finish my moovelous day with some milk and cookies, before I hit the hay! 

I feel like I make an adorable little cow, something that I never thought I'd actually say - although Hell has been known to call me a Cow, and a Heffer, at various times! I look so stinking cute!! 
I wasn't planning on doing the whole cow look until I stumbled upon a sMoochie tattoo - that's the cow print tattoo from Oddysee by the way - that I had bought on a discount weekend sale and stashed away for a rainy day, and then remembered the amazing CryBunBun Breathless Corset that I'd bought in the So Kawaii Sundays sale this weekend had a cow print version... I was frolicking like a little calf the first time they go outside in the spring, I was... 
Now would my milkshakes bring all the boys and girls to the barn? They come in strawberry, chocolate and vanilla flavours!! Or if you don't like that we have regular milk too... OH AND COOKIES... Who doesn't want milk and cookies?!

Stones for Roses

I have been trying to keep my lazy brain active lately, reading and learning more about new and old things alike, and one of those things has been taking me back to my archaeological roots, today I was looking into a little Greek Mythology... Namely, at least for today, Medusa... The poor woman get's so much bad press for turning heroes to stone just because they look at her, but it has been said that it was a punishment caused by being in the wrong place, with the wrong person at the wrong time! 

It's what happens when you let Poseidon flirt with you in the tomb of another goddess... Mind you have you seen the recent re-incarnation of Poseidon, I mean I know he's not Poseidon but Aquaman is almost as close... 
She's not been on a date in such a long time, since her hairy pets have a tendancy to turn the boys to stone, but at least those boys that do come to visit bring her pretty flowers - thanks to the pose from Secret Poses, in which you have the option to use both Pink or Red roses. She loves roses, almost as much as her pet snakes, that's why she's had them tattooed into her Medusa Tattoo over her shoulders and down her arms - thanks to a gorgeous Skin Fair release from Psycho Barbie - and is happy to show them off with her adorable Shallan Outfit - a pretty floaty little gypsy number from 1313 Mockingbird Lane. Shame that to get the roses, the guys have to get turned to stone...

When their light fades, she'll help them recharge...

What happens when the glistening planets in the nights sky start to lose their luster and grow dim? Can they sleep, or relax, to recharge, or is there someone out there that will charge them with happy sparkles to make them glow?! A cerebral being, a deity of sorts, whose soul purpose is to relight the stars and charge the planets with glowing magic!

If not, there should be... For the record, I'm still terrified of Aliens, hence why I said a cerebral being like a deity, I'd never condone aliens LOL... 
Rudh was shocked to see that all of the light had gone from this pretty little Semi Luna - a STOIC creation - but luckily she was charged full of glittering neon light. Her Moon Phases Necklace - a Saturday Sale release from !13Act - carries the energy, it pulses through her Happy Holo Outfit - the cutest little Holo Outfit from Neverwish at the Cyber Fair...

Waiting for the Rain to Stop!

There have been some BAD storms here over the past few days. Not the typical Thunder storms, but gale force winds and heavy rain... We've had some RL problems - including the roof being blown off of the shed in our allotment - but it's cold and it's making me feel icky, and during this year that's never a good thing to deal with! 
It's been terrible, getting all dressed up wanting to do things and not being able to go out because of the weather... Kitty and I were watching the rain fall... I'd have been lonely without kitty... 

Looking out of the window from our apartment - at The Apartments, see I told you I'd be coming here a LOT - and just like in RL, it's RAINING!! 
I was all dressed up and wanting to go out to play. Wanted to show the world my new Valkyrie Tattoo - a new release from Psycho Barbie for the newly opened Skin Fair 2021 - and dressed simply otherwise, although I am not sure you could call my gorgeous skin tight - almost painted on - latex Vixen High Waist Pants - also from Psycho Barbie, but available at Pretty - dressing down... 
Just wishing the rain would stop!

The 'Boob'Eyes Demon is Watching

 In case you haven't heard, Skin Fair is coming... Like a monster rising from a year long deep sleep, but there are so many pretty things being teased with everywhere we look, and the little monster in me wants to do some more teasing hehe... 
If you know me at all, you will know that I love letting my dark little monster side out to play and she loves to lure people into the dark to play with her... Come on down, let her show you a cave of wonders.. 

I couldn't be more excited about this little Demon look, it's definitely one of my favourites... 
It started with eyes... I made myself laugh super hard while I was playing with this look because I kept calling myself the BoobEyes Demon. As you might guess, it started with these amazing Body eyes for 'The OCULISK'- a Skin Fair release from Phobia - which come with a set of very gorgeous serpent like eyes. One of the coolest parts of this set, is that the eyes are BOM, so they can be worn with ANY BOM eyes... Rather than use the serpent eyes - I attached pictures to show the eye colours and what they look like in the store ads to the bottom of this post - because I wanted something more demonic - like the eyes I wore from Suicidal Unborn - and I squealed like a very happy girl when I saw the eyes all over me LOL... 
Then if that wasn't good enough, I got a super exciting surprise from Afterparty... I'd won a set of their amazing Neon Demon Wings - that are available now at Cyber Fair - that just like all their Neon creations can be a bucketload of different colours, and flicker and flash, and even have patterns... I don't know this brand that well but I LOVE what I see so far, and cant wait to get better aquainted with it... So that's two awesome pretties in one pretty little demon...

When we veg out... We "Veg" Out...

A day at work on my own due to a possibility of one of my colleagues coing down with Covid, I feel more than a little worn own, I now feel like doing nothing all evening but veg out... The TV is calling me, along with my Pyjamas... 
Sometimes it's nice to just be able to Veg out isnt it. In RL it's a little different to SL though, when I do it in SL I tend to do it a little differently...

To Veg out in SL, is to literally VEG OUT lol...HellBone and I, changeed our names to Spud and Spudulika - Brits will know Spudulika from a silly comedy sketch and maybe also a fast food chain of baked potatoes hehe - and put on our jammies to Veg Out... 
These amazing potato costumes are a newish release from Ananas - at Anthem - called Potayto Potahto... Maybe their next costume will be a Tomaytoe Tomaartoe hehe... 
I had to make my background so that the lazy taters would feel at home... I played an episode of "Hone I blew up the kids" in a manner of speaking, I blew up a bag of groceries - from Dust Bunny - and a veggie crate - from Vespertine - so we could veg out appropriately...

I'm in Chains...

I always tend to try to make each and every one of my little pictures like a mini artwork look into my crazy, fantasy, fun filled mind...
Yet this morning I had an attack of the "UGH I'm not good enoughs" when I saw numbers on Flickr for recent postings I'd made. I am trying so hard to stay close to the thoughts of, I LOVE what I do, and don't care if others do or not. I know that there are people who like what I create and they are the people that count... Yet there's always these niggling doubts in my mind, that say I'm not good enough... I'm not getting the same numbers of likes that others get, I feel like I shouldn't apply or will lose the designers that I am working for because I'm not getting 200+ likes on a picture... It's a vicious cycle in my mind... I fee like I'm trapped, caught in chains and have no way to get out other than to stop... 

Don't worry, I don't plan on stopping but after sharing my thoughts on Facebook, it really feels better... Like I'm not the only one feeling this way, and that there are others out there who hate the Flickr likes popularity contest too... 
I do find myself wondering though if something simple will be more greatly appreciated than some of the crazy fantasy looks that I create at times. I know those aren't really for everyone. So today I toned it down, locked Rudh in a room full of chains - a gorgeous backdrop from Synnergy called Chained by the way - and dressed up all pretty to see if it was more popular amongst Flickr viewers! 

What is she wearing; 
Hair: Olive - the Yen Hair 
Skin: amara beauty - Freya in 
Chains: Six Feet Under - Kalika Chain Veil (Available until March 28th at The Darkness Monthly)

Which Portal Would You Choose?

Sunday... It can only mean one thing... Tomorrow is Monday and the dreaded start to a new week! HOWEVER, it is still technically the weekend, and I'm going to chillax just a little longer... Put on some happy making music, and dance like no one is watching... I'm going to let the music take me on a journey into the mystical unknown BUT as with any journey, which path do I chose... The light or the dark?! 

It's almost a little psychedelic today, a little like a trip to somewhere transcending normality... Where the stars and light brighten up your vision to confuse as to the portal - from [not a peep] at the Gacha Guild by the way - maybe you should ask the one holding the key?! 
She's an ancient, mystical being, and she radiates light and music... The planets dance on her halo - a rare prize in the Doe Saturna Gacha at the current round of  The Arcade -  that floats around her dainty little horns. The only sign of her human weakness, is the fact that this little goddess would be blind without her super cute little glasses that are just "Over the Moon" - and a current group gift from Zombie Suicide!

I'll Sleep Anywhere!

I've been having trouble sleeping... I'm not sure entirely why but for some reason I'm not sleeping very well... I mean OK I wake up a couple of times a night to wee, I have a snoring lump in bed beside me, and a dog that can't make up her mind about if she wants to be on the bed or not... HellBone has even started forming a human burrito in the middle of the night meaning I'm left in the chilly room without blankets... 
For Rudh, the snoring and the bed stealing and the duvet stealing got so bad she said "fuckit" and realised pretty quick that she was tired enough to be able to sleep anywhere... 

The Apartments are a mess right now, but once you shut out the outside world, it's the noises and fidgeting in the night that forced our little Rudh to find somewhere other than her bed to sleep... Luckily she had one of those new Ananas "Sleep Anywhere" mattress and pillow sets - available on sale at The Warehouse Sale now - so armed with her trusty facemask and teddy, she went looking for a quiet place and made it as far as the kitchen floor...

Standing in the Stones

In the middle of a working week, when I spend less time in SL than I would have before, I am finding myself re-watching the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies... I have loved the movies since they first came out, and have loved the books for even longer, but they make amazing places to drift off to - a fantasy realm away from the drudgery of RL at the moment. 
Now while I'm thinking about it, and have the Tolkein world in my mind, I remembered I'd gotten my hands on some of the pretties that came from Enchantment and well, even though it's Viking Saga themed this round, these things seemed to go hand in hand. I was swept away to a world of Viking Dwarven magic... 

By all means, this is a little different from the kind of pictures I've been playing with of late, but it's inspired by my RL movie watching and love of things that are both Viking and Tolkein. People may not know this but I'm actually an Archaeologist by degree and had a specialisation in Vikings as my historical period of choice. 
The Viking warrior woman made her journey to the sacred standing stones - part of the new collection released by LOVE at Enchantment - and set up her camp. Resting her axe and shield against the stones, he etched her initials onto one of the scattered stones and waited. The magic did not take long before it started, swirling around in the air.

Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory 
Bruises: Misschevious - Mad Body Wounds Gacha in On Knees in the Grass 
Boots: lassitude & ennui - Fair Maiden Boots in Green (Available until March 8th at Enchantment)

Painting the Town Rainbow

I've had a day of being creative, and it's gotten my creative juices flowing... Paint and colours and prettiness everywhere... LOTSSSSSS of colours, normally I'm sticking to the darker colours and for some reason today I decided to make a little bit of a mess... 

I joined the Graffiti Club and got my paint flying... I was making pretty patterns all over the walls but don't worry they won't ever know it's me... I didn't wanna get caught so I wore a Mask - from the Corrupt Gacha by KitCat at Lootbox Gacha - and painted the town rainbow...
