Becoming Queen Bee

I have been on a rather random, weird fantasy world lately and I can't say that I'm not enjoying it. I've always had a passion for creating the weird and wonderful characters, my blogging world is full of them, each one unique and random and different, but very occasionally I let my mind create one that will surprise even me... 
This very situation happened today, I was out walking through the glorious countryside, and I spotted the beehives in the corner of the field. I gave them a wide birth, fearing being stung by any of the bees, I guess though my caution was worthless... I got stung, and it was the sting that caused the magic to happen... 

In the fields where the Sunset Rising happens - thanks to a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - I meandered towards the Bee Hives - a beautiful set from Apple Fall if you're interested - and felt the bees - which in this case are adorable and from LODE - begin to dance, welcoming their new leader... I didn't notice the changes at first, but when I caught a glimpse of myself in a honey jar, the image was amazing... I'd gone full on Honey Bee - thanks to a new release from Fantasy Forest Store - I was going to be the new queen, I was crowned with a beautiful Heartsong Crown - from Six Feet Under that you can see more clearly in the ad that I'm sharing below - and I was to help make sure the hive would survive and thrive... I was ready to do my part... I just hope that there might be bigger boy bees than the ones flying around, I need someone much bigger to procreate with hehe...

Sunflowers in the Bath

I've had a super busy three days, I have barely seen or done anything besides working, eating and sleeping... I need time to sleep and feel rested, I feel a need to have a day to myself and maybe I get a chance to relax for a day tomorrow. 
I think I am going to take myself a LONG, hot bath... Some deliciously sweet scented bubbles, a hot cuppa tea and possibly some relaxing music. I'll close my eyes as I sink into the bubbly water, then let myself breathe deep and relax... I'll let my mind wander, I'll let my mind drift and find somewhere magical to rest... 

My mind wandered to a place where the fairies go to relax, as the bath steam cleared, I spotted the prettiest of fairies running herself a bath surrounded by the flowers that she is named for... The Sunflower Fae, dressed in her adorable Sunflower Hat - from Evil Baby and Colorfuel - and her skin painted with the markings of the Sunflowers leaves... Running a long, hot bath to wile away the sunset evening!

Happy 16th Rezday to Me!

Today is a very special day today... It's been a fairly normal day for anyone, but me, although today is a very important day for me today since I've officially been logging into Second Life as Rudh for 16 years today. Sixteen LONG, crazy years... 
I decided to celebrate with a little party for one... A few gifts in the weekend sales and a plate of delicious Stacked Birthday Burgers... 

I made myself  plate of super delicious burgers, I stacked these Birthday Burgers - from Hangry - I dressed myself up in a bright, fun outfit that was topped off with my super, awesome Birthday Hat - from kotte, that I'd picked up as a free gift at a past Shop'N'Hop - and sat down to think back on all of my special memories... 
I've been through SO MUCH, I met my husband in SL, I met my bestest friend in the world in SL, I started working a RL job in SL, because of someone I met in SL. I have been able to fly. I became a barbie doll that can be anything from a zombie, a fairy, a mermaid and just damn pretty. I've learnt new skills and developed those that I already had. No matter how many downs I've had - and there have been plenty - I've had many, many more ups... Would I change any of it? NO CHANCE IN HELL I WOULD... Did I ever think I'd be here all this time? Do I think I'll be here for the next 10 years, the next 16 years? I damn well hope so...

Dream Beams of Neon Blue and Pink!

I had the worst night's sleep last night, it messed me up because I had a night full of bad dreams and a bed that felt uncomfortable, when it's normally my place of heaven. My dreams were a bit bonkers and all over the place, it lead to me making lists of everything that I needed to do, planning blog posts that I had to work on, and generally not actually letting my mind relax so I'd sleep. 
I needed a plan to find a way to help myself sleep, I needed something that would be a tool to help me knock myself out. I'd thought about the Rapunzel Method. The would hurt too much, I needed something less painful... I needed a DreamBeam...

The DreamBeam - a gun from Decoy at the Collabor88 - shoots rays of pure happy dreams. These dreams should make you sleep better... The gun is hard to find though, you have to spend time gazing at the many Retro Reflections - a new release from Quills & Curiosities at the Warehouse, that make for AMAZING photography backdrops - and peek through the Eden Palm leaves until you find it. Make sure you have lots of light though, you'll need it to see through the dark. There are some amazing dresses that give off light - from Normandy - that look perfect and work gorgeously... The PVC they are made of looks so awesome with a matching glass colour - thanks to a gorgeous Fetish Fair release from Boutique #187.

The Guide of the Moon

Time to relax after a long day at work, I find myself dozing on the sofa and letting my mind drift into a slumber of sorts. I know that I should be taking a shower to unwind, but I cannot help myself, laying in the far and keeping my eyes closed to block out all of the noise of the day is a damn good idea... 
While my mind drifts off, I find myself floating into the clouds, the darkening clouds where the stars are slowly beginning to peek out and glitter the sky... 

Floating in the Starbright Starlight- which is actually an older backdrop from Synnergy - I found myself travelling just a little too high... The moon was clearly visible, but that's not what was the most surprising. As I peeped over the clouds, my eyes adjusting to the twinkling stars  and being so close to the moon, I realised that it was being held like a Moon Balloon - from Schadenfreude - by one of the most amazing creatures I've ever seen... A moonlit KIRIN Dragon - a beautiful release from Forest Fantasy Store that includes not just the gorgeous body tattoos, but various body spikes, horns, and a beautiful tail - in silver and white, was guiding the moon through the sky, surrounded by dancing Willow the Whisps - from Hextraordinary. So ethereal was she, such a magical dragonness of the moonlight...

Monsters Go Back To School!!

Kids in my part of the world have all done the dreaded deed and started the new school year. I always loved the start of a new school year, not so much because I was eager to be back at school but because I was excited about things like getting new stationary, a new bag and new shoes to impress my friends, and make the others jealous. I was also a bit of a geek, so I never had a problem with school and the classes I chose, especially in my senior years when I had my chosen electives... 
I should also admit that I have a bit of an obsession with the cartoon 'Monster High', and any time I think of school now, I wish that I'd been able to be a student there!! All the students being the children of the monsters, I think I could definitely fit in... Let's all head to Monster High to start the school year... 

Walking down the School Hallway - a backdrop from Paparazzi - everybody turns to look at me, it's not because I'm different, it's just because my older sister is Frankie Stein, she's one of the popular kids and I have now got to fill his big boots... 
Hair styled in the traditional Bride of Frankenstein look, I looked just like my mother, but the rest of the style was much more akin to Frankie's since I borrowed most of her clothes hehe... A punk rocker style skirt - from Mug - a shirt with the coolest slogan and some of the coolest accesories that a ghoul could find... 
My cellphone decorated with the Frankenstein look - a Zombie Bride phone from Boutique #187 - my barcoded tag on my collar - from Tardfish - is my body tag from the morgue, and because I'm cute some candified bling, including the adorable Candy Nose Chain - from Six Feet Under at DollHolic, which isn't so clear in the main picture but I've added a close-up and the ad to show you just how cute it is...

A "Walk" in the Park

A day at home, a chance to relax after a super busy weekend at work... It's always a lovely, happy, relaxed feeling of being able to have a day to just unwind, although in typical fashion I ended up waking up far too early. Although, being awake so early means that I have more of a chance to get things done... I've done some dishes and laundry, I've taken a shower and even had a chance to get some dusting done, I might if I'm very good even find the time to run the vacuum through the house. 
First, however, I need to get some important groceries, so it's time for a trip to the shops... 

Killing two birds with one stone, I've decided to take the dogs for a walk as I head to the shops. I grabbed my jacket, tied my skates and said to the pack of Great Dane puppies - from JIAN - that were chilling in my garden "Let's Roll" - a pose from a set by Secret Poses - to the dog park. We did decide to make a quick stop off at the shops on the way to the park, my doggie buddies were excitedly happy to carry some of my Shopping Bags - from Junk Food - so we stocked up on snacks and went on to cause chaos as we charged through the park!

Memories on the Screen

Our brain is such a powerful tool, it makes the world's super computers look like amateurs, and even the most useless of people are brilliantly clever if they really put their mind to it! They run our bodies and keep us alive, they keep skills held tight so they can be used any time they are needed, and they hold on to so many of our wonderful memories as well as those things that we wish to forget, our secrets, our hopes and our fears... We can call on them when we need them, some come to the front of our minds unbidden, and others are locked up tight... 
If we had a machine that could tap into our memories, I wonder what we'd discover... 

I think if we had a machine that could share our thoughts it could be either really great - a way to help us clear our minds of the bad things - or really terribly - if things are used against us... Imagine if someone got hold of our innermost secrets?!!! 
I'd hope that if someone has seen memories in my head, they will only find the happy things. Memories of my childhood days, reminders of my favourite toys. There are so many that spring to mind at times, things I'd forgotten, things that may no longer exist... 
Whilst I don't have a machine, I will admit that I DO have a lot of toys, lots of them to remind me of my youthful days. Once the machine has found the image, it could be printed out and everyone can take a closer look at all my lovely toys... Things like my AMAZING Rocking Horsey - from Ananas at the Fifty Linden Friday Birthday Bash - or my beautiful dolls, but you have to be careful, there is one that is a little more lively than the others... Watch out for the Pistachio Puppet - from tardfish at Enchantment - he's not as cute as he looks, he's very stabby... 
Now as the image on the screen of the picture in my mind is small, luckily the print outs are a little bigger and give you a proper close-up...

Rock Angels and the Escalator to Heaven

Home after work, relaxing on the sofa after a bowl full of dinner and feeling myself dozing in and out of sleep. I haven't been sleeping well since the heat and having stomach pain, but it's finally cooling down a little and so I'm enjoying some peace on the couch. 
While my mind drifts in and out of snoozeville, I could hear some music in the background but it was only as I closed my eyes and noticed that a twisted little angellic version of Rudh was showing me the latest upgrades to the stairway to heaven... It's been modernized, it's an escalator now... 

Not sure that the Led Zepellin song would have quite the same ring to it if it was an escalator to heaven - like the backdrop from FOXCITY - although you can't really blame them for updating since everything is modernizing these days... 
Everything is modernizing and becoming more accepting, even the angels are upgraded and allowed to style themselves... Rudh as an angel is mixing her styles together, pretty sparkles like the beautiful sparkles - from random.Matter - around her neck and in her ears. She's gone a little rock chick with the most brilliant make up of Enchantment proportions - a gorgeous welcome back release from Bella Elephante at Enchantment, worn with a set of lipstick called Ember - and spiked her Galaxy Halo - from Salem's Lot - that perfectly matches her Seraph Wings - from Paper Antler. 
Heaven's had a make-over, colours are in, white is out. The Rock Angels are taking over...

Halo: Salem's Lot - Galaxy Halo in Uranus

Dancing the Flutterby Flutter

I have to admit something... At the moment I seem to find myself being that a little addicted to Butterflies... They seem to be floating all around my garden, I have lots of budlea, and hydrangeas, and because I can't get enough of them, LOADS of Sunflowers... 

In Second Life I seem to be just as addicted to the Fluttery Friends - which I've shown numerous times already but they are from Quills & Curiosities at Enchantment - and I cant wait to dance with them in the Secret Garden - a backdrop from Synnergy. I've joined them in their fluttery dance. I've adorned myself with flowers - these incredible Warder's Branches, that are also from Quills & Curiosities at Enchantment - and the most glamorous of Gaia outfits - from miss chelsea... 
Though I think the best and most amazing part of my outfit to dance with the butterflies, has to be my beautiful new Butterfly markings. These beautiful markings come in multiple jewel like colours are from the Forest Fantasy Store and there are so many colour combinations, multiple wing sizes and antenna and a staff to complete the look... Simply gorgeous and so very glam for any butterfly babe...

Horror Pops at the Spooky Park

It's hot, and humid, and I'm desperate for the summer to go away again so that the Autumn can reign supreme once more and the spooky month can start... BRING ON THE SPOOKY MONTH... 
Until then I need to find something to do that will cool down, I think I might end up trying to find a good place to get myself an Ice-cream... 

There are so many awesome places that you can get Ice-cream and SL is full of hundreds of them... Ice-cream parlours, and stands on the beach, pedal powered carts and the good old Ice-cream vans... I used to love when the ice-cream truck would come around the street near my parents house when I was a kid. I used get all excited hearing that bell. I used to love going to a fairground near my grandparents house for the same reason when I was a kid, we'd go on the rides and there would be an ice-cream van... 
Even though the fairground at Everwinter has been let go, there is still a chance to get yourself a an ice lolly, though they only have Horror Pops - from Junk Food - available since the monsters moved in... 
The Horror Pops are delicious and super fun too... I've always had a love of a certain hockey playing dude...

Flutters at the Flower Market

It's been such a hot few days here, and I worked my ass off all weekend, so today I've been able to finally able to take a break and relax a little bit. I really hope that things cool down here so that I don't have to work in heat like that again. 
Today has been fairly relaxing, I've done a few things around the house, taking my time with them while trying to stay cool, and even went to the market. I was so tempted to get some flowers, there are SO many beautiful flowers and they looked so happy... I know they'd wilt at home... 

One of my favourite things in my SL home has to be the little market area that I've set up... I wanted something pretty to decorate the space, and since I love flowers, the flower market seemed to fall together naturally... SO MANY FLOWERS, and a touch of magic... I'd done some shopping, I'd bought a paper and some bread and fruits but the colours of the flowers, and the flashing flickers of colours drew me in. The beautiful Fluttery Friends - a hunt item from Quills & Curiosities, available until August 31st at Enchantment - were enjoying the gorgeous flowers too...

Waking the Mushroom Fae!

It's so freaking hot today, another bloody heatwave and I'm desperate to get out of the heat. My office is under a flat roof, and there's no avoiding the heat upstairs, so I'm hiding down in a cave of my living room with everything closed. 
I'm craving Autumn, I want the cool crisp air, the feeling of leaves falling and that beautiful frost that settles over the ground I want the cold air, and the fact that I need to wrap up warm and snuggly... 
I've heard that things are changing, the fairy folk are preparing for their winter sleep whilst others are starting to wake... It's almost the time of the Autumn Fae... 

In the deepest, darkest parts of the forest, by the dark pond - a backdrop from Synnergy - there is a perfect environment for the hiding place for the Mushroom Fae. These pretty little dark fae need dark damp places just like their moisture loving fungal friends... These pretty little Autumn Fae decorate themselves with their favourite mushrooms, some are into the red with spots, others like the frills that grow on trees and the Rudhie version who loves the cute little brown button cups... She loves them so much they adorn her body - thanks to the amazing new release from Quills & Curiosities at the soon to open round of Enchantment - you'll have to excuse her mess though, she's just waking up from her Summer Slumber...

Waiting at the Babygirl Motel...

I felt a little too hot today, it's another heatwave in my part of Europe and it's never fun to have to suffer through the heat. I feel so jealous of those of your that have airconditioning when the weather is like this. It makes me so uncomfortable... 
I've decided to let the heat dictate the my blogging mood, there has been a shift in the heat so that the heat becomes a charged, somewhat naughty heat, as Rudh headed for somewhere cooler to hang out... She found herself taking refuge from the heat at the Babygirl Motel... 

In the Lancaster Suite - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - of the Babygirl Motel on route 69, Rudh let the heat change. She had plans to entertain, dressed to kill in a barely there outfit, and some SUPER high killer heels - a brand new release from Tentacio at FaMESHed X - and since the sign announcing the Babygirl Motel was flashing on the street - a sign that is coming to Fetish Fair from Krescendo - to draw people to the hotel... Sitting in the darkened room, she waits for him, waits to hear the door handle turn and the door open...

Fruit Cakes

I'm thinking about food again, I REALLY need to make sure that  I stop blogging at dinner times lol, but as the weather is getting warmer all I can think about is do I really want to spend time cooking. To be quite honest with you, the answer is probably not, and to be fair there's only two things taht I want to eat right now... Cake and Fruit... Although, not all together, because we know that fruitcake is only for Christmas... 

I know that fruit is both delicious and good for me, and heck Watermelon was always something I was drawn to in SL since the old nickname Rudhmelon Lasagna was coined, but no matter how much I love fruit sometimes I wish the fruit was cake!

Blowing Bubbles, Transporting Fairies!

When I was little, I was lucky enough to be able to have a HUGE amount of toys of all different shapes and sizes. Things from dollhouses, to plushies of all different kinds, inside and outside toys, games and puzzles and story books, but one of my favourite things was ALWAYS bubble blowing wands with a huge bottle of bubbles... I used to wile away hours dancing around waving the wands to fill the sky with a shower of rainbow filled bubbles... I used to dream that each one held a tiny fairy who'd fly free to grant wishes as each bubble popped. I have no idea where the story came from, but it was always something I believed! 

I've always loved bubbles purely and simply because I've believed that fairies are teleported around in them... All you have to do is raise a bubble wand to your lips and gently blow, a whispering of Bubble Bubble - the release from Ananas for The Fifty - close your eyes though because as the fairy pops her way out of the soapy confines, the sparkles and bubbles that pop can sting... Close your eyes, make a wish a blow...

Roaming the Cathedrals Halls...

Last night I got very lost in the brilliant blues and pinks of the shooting stars, and as Jupiter once said it was lonely while I was looking for myself out there... It was far too pretty, not to let myself get lost in the stars... Only problem is that I got myself lost so much I ended up in a dark corridor, the only light radiating from the sparkles of my fingertips, magic that I'd picked up while dancing amongst the stars...

Catching a glimpse of myself in a reflective surface I noticed that the stars had adorned me with the most beautiful of Cathedral Halos - a gorgeous release from Quills & Curiosities at Midnight Order - and as if by magic, I noticed that the most beautiful pair of Static Order Gauntlets had been laid out to protect my hands from the sparkling of the stars... 
Luckily I had a change of clothes too, the ones I wore the night before were covered in stardust... This PVC Decoy Dress - it's actually the Midnight Order release called Fiona - isn't truly meant to go with this awesome minuit Shirt but it made the perfect outfit for the little demonness in me to feel brave enough to explore the dark halls, lit only by the neon of my sparkling fingertips... 
Since I love this look so much, and since a lot of prettiness is happening on my face I had to take a moment to show a little close up... Get a look at the pretty horns, make-up and face jewellery... Isn't it cute!!!!

Caught in the Shooting Starlight

Today was a crazy, mental, bonkers day at work. Amsterdam is crazy, mental, bonkers due to it being in the middle of Pride. There is so much excitement in the city, but it's just making work a mental place to work in... I will admit that I LOVE the vibrancy, the life, the bright sparkly happy feeling, even if it makes me feel like I'm lost in space, somewhere where it's light and bright but a little bonkers... 

I'm lost in a neon space, the lights are shooting around me and the sparkles are brilliant in bright pinks and blues... It made me a little crazy, and the demonness in me burst into the light, she's not your average demonness, this one is all about the neon bright lights... She's a party animal! A raver! A lover of the bright starlight, oh and a lover of that super special Cosmic Ice Cream - from Hangry!

Prepping for the Midnight Ball

Work is SUPER busy at the moment. I've never seen so many people buying cheese on a hot day like today, especially on a Wednesday - traditionally the quietest day of the week - and I've been running around and around, talking to crazy people... I wanted nothing more than a chance to get home and shower then put my feet up, but poor little Rudhie had other plans.

Tonight she'd gotten work at a very special party and it wasn't the kind of gala to miss... A chance to see the elite of the Midnight Order at the Masquerade Ball, in their beautifully, dark glory - even if I'm only able to be there as a waitress... 
Of course, it couldn't be a normal waitressing gig, I HAD to fit the beautiful theme of the ball and wear the elaborate costume of a dark maid, to deliver the tray of delicious Holy Blood Cocktails to the beautiful guests of the Midnight Order. 
Her outfit is a simple Quintina Dress and crisp white collar - from Kiru - decorated with an Aurora Leather Collar - from ANATAYA -  and a super pretty but Bloody Rose Collar - from HARU. Anything above that is just perfectly glamorous, Rudh's hair has been done in a beautiful "Emily" up-do hairstyle, which comes with the gorgeous eyepatch, and some not worn hair accessories - from S-CLUB - with a gorgeous Solaris Crown - from Decoy, available at Collabor88 until August 6th - and some of the most awesome eyeliner and face painted freckles - from GERMINAL.

Making Friends on the Beach

There's even an adorably Spooky Beach Hut - from Violetility - packed with super cute Goth Floats, like the cute little bat and the coffin lilo - from Krescendo - for when you're done building Sandmen and want to just float out to sea for a while!
