The Blood Moon lures in the Vamps...

As the spooky month draws ever closer, we have just a few days and the season officially starts, and I CANNOT wait. They say that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, but I beg to differ, I believe that they got confused, it's clearly Halloween first then Christmas... 
The monster in me cannot wait until it starts and she's busy getting herself prepped for the events that will soon be unfolding. The moon is also getting ready for the fun, it's painting itself red and to lure out the blood-thirsty vamps... 

The moon turning a blood red seems to be a sign to lure these vamps out of their Final Rest - a backdrop from FOXCITY - and even though she's restrained, bound in cuffs and wearing a muzzle, she is dressed to celebrate the Spooky Season. She's all dressed up wearing with the most amazing of Vamp Dress clubwear - from Neverwish, available at Salem - and accessorised herself with the cutest of Coffin Pochette purses - from Boutique #187 at Planet29 - and her faithful swarm of Bats that became something of a Bats Aura - from Moon Rabbit at Salem - all she needed now, before the festivities of the party season was something delicious to sate her appetite, perhaps a little SickLove...

Hair: [Yomi] - Sora Hair
Skin:  amara beauty - Freya in Ivory
Mask: Ama - Muzzle Me
Mouth Blood: Suicidal Unborn - SickLove
Collar & Cuffs: AsteroidBox - Midas Restraints

A Goddess of Tempestuous Waters

It's ABSOLUTELY pouring here, and everything has cooled down so much because of the rain. 
Though there is magic in the world and there should be something magical about the water, it's life bringing, it's healing, and it's one of the most important things in the world. Sometimes I wonder if we don't treasure it enough... There are others that feel we are not... There is an Engine Room member that has been watching our useage of the water we abuse, and she is not amused, the Goddess of Water is more than a little frustrated... 

Her anger has made the waters a little tempestuous - like the background from Synnergy.Tavis - and the darker side of her style came out with a vengence, boiling and splashing the water around her... Since she's a goddess with connections to the Engine Room, she's a little more steampunk than some of her counterparts. Her skin is etched with METROPOLIS markings - from Fallen Gods Inc - and she's wrapped in an Allusa Corset - from ASH - while her Vanity Hair is adorned with the Evil Baby, Athalia's Crown. The magic slipping from her fingertips, controlling her Chronomancer's Astrolabe - from Quills & Curiosities at the Engine Room - to control the movements of the water around her...

A Train to Run Away on!

I have a really big desire and muchly desperate need to go home to the UK... I want to be with my mum for a while, I want to get a tour of my dad's garden like he does everytime I visit and I want to finally go to see the house that my little sister has moved to and has started to live in like a grown up. There has been so much chaos in my RL lately that I feel the strongest need to run away, and although that cannot be happening for a while just yet, I can't help but let myself dream about it... I'd love to jump on a train in Amsterdam Central and get to London asap... 

After a long day at work, I'd like to board the Night Train - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - after having lugged my luggage into work and back to the station. I found a quiet compartment and curled up for the long trip with a good book on my lap and some of the very naughty Speedy's Fast Food Junk Food that you can get at the station, these slushies are totally delicious and I couldn't pick one flavour so I got them all... It's going to be a long trip like I said... Then whilst I was sitting there, a cute little Terrier Puppy - from SEmotion Libellune - appeared in my compartment, he seemed to want to share my dinner and he seemed very pleased when I slipped him a hotdog! It was nice to have a companion to talk to!

Guarding the Engine Room

There is a rumour going around that something totally top secret is stored within one of the many sub-chambers of the Engine Room... It's so secret that even the rooms creators have no idea exactly what may be stored inside. It's definitely something that is super important though since they have now posted their own brand of armed guards, posted at the gates to the grounds... 

Rudh has been posted as a guard on the northern end of the estate, where the Darkness - a backdrop from IDK Poses - is thick and foggy, puts the senses right on edge... The uniform of these guards is gorgeous but definitely not warm enough for this kind of weather. The Guinevere Jacket - part of the Luas outfit, along with the mask worn in this look - and the Viktoria Corset with this extra caging - available from sixx x wraith at the Engine Room - really doesn't keep you all that warm, althoug it's so chic looking. It looks even better when the St. Czapka Cap - from Grasshopper - is added to the top! 
These guards may not be very warmly dressed, but they are very well armed... The Aether Stream Pistol - a weapon from Artemisia - is a brutal pistoal charged with ionic techology that will obliterate anything that it touches, and if that wasn't enough power, the Magus Rod - from Quills & Curiosities at The Warehouse - will freeze you on the spot the moment that you try to cross a guard... 

What is she wearing;
Hat: Grasshopper - St. Czapka (Available until October 20th at The Engine Room)

Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory

Riding on the Shooting Stars

Stars are a map of the universe and have long been relied upon for many things in many different cultures through-out the ages and the cultures. To see a shooting star can mean that change, luck, fertility and love are on their way - depending on which culture you check - but there's nothing out there that says what riding on a shooting star could do for you. 
As always, and since I could REALLY use a little change and a lot of luck in my life right now, Rudh is going to play guineapig and test this out... 

High up in the Stratosphere - a backdrop from The Bearded Guy - so high that if you're lucky you might get to see the hands of the gods, so long as you manage to dodge the shooting stars that zip through the black space. The angels have perfected the art of flying the stars, it couldn't be that hard, really, could it? Wannabe Angel Rudh decided to give it a try. She pulled on a pair of Celestial Shades - from Violetility, which you can also see in the close-up I added below - to protect her eyes from the starry glow, waiting for just the right moment. A star came whizzing past and Rudh jumped on for a Space Ride - an awesome new vehicle from Ananas for Kustom9 - and screamed all the way across the galaxy... 

What is she wearing;
Hair: Tableau Vivant - Hairplay in Front Blow Redheads
Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory

The Engine Room is just the start of the Adventure!

You may know that I have a guilty pleasure in watching all different kinds of ghost hunting shows, but when I'm watching TV with my other half it can be hard to find something that we both want to see...  Dr Pimple Popper is an addiction, and we're excited about various new series, BUT we both love to watch the show Expedition Unknown with Josh Gates... All the adventures he goes on, and the archaeological aspects excite me, I've always wanted to go on a big adventure, I'd love to see some of the things that he gets to see... I'm going to let the Engine Room be the start of the journey...

I'm going to plan my journey in the warm luxury of the Clock Station - a backdrop from Synnergy - Lounge where the furniture is made from a gorgeously comfortable Barrel Set - available from Krescendo at ALPHA - and I dressed for the part, a Steampunk styled version of Indiana Jones... Ready to set off on a Steampunk Adventure - in my Art&Ko dress, with my Ministry floppy hat - people tried to warn me that it wouldn't be safe. That handling the Crystal Visions Orb - a pose prop in the full body pose set by piXit - was dangerous, but they didn't realise I'd be wearing my Barclay Hands - from Wicca's Originals - luckily the steampunk prosthetic helps me to grip the orb without threat of it's mystical powers...

Modern Tech at The Engine Room

There are so many pretty things happening in Second Life at the moment, the changing of the colours is taking place and people are slowly starting to wear warmer, cosy looking clothing. There are costumes being planned and things are starting to get a little spooky. I LOVE this time of year... 
There are other things happening that have to be shared though before the spooky things start. The Engine Room has opened and there's so many gorgeous, steampunkish things filling the grid, Yet you know me, there are ways to make things fit every style, for my first peek into the Engine Room I went a little wild... 

Out the back of The Engine Room, you might find the Workshop - a backdrop from FOXCITY - Rudh wrapped herself in a protection with a Nox Arcana - a halo from Quills & Curiosities - to slip between the somewhat dangerous Power Cell Pillars - from Oblivis at The Engine Room - to steal the universal heart, or the "Left my heart in..." - from Doe at Dollholic - that has been stored in the Murder Juke Audio Jukebox... 
I know that her outfit, and in fact this entire picture, isn't really very steampunk in style but I had to get a little high-tech Manticore Mecha Arms - from Elivah - which caused me to get more than a little high tech in style...

Diva Super Star

I'm done working! I am done working and have tomorrow off... YAY! I'm going to take my day for myself and just relax, nothing more than that... I won't even get out of my pyjamas until I'm good and ready and plan on keeping myself warm and cozy in bed with my cat. 
Until then I'm heading into dreamland, a place where the sparkles are magical and I'm my own superstar in the lead role of my dream movie... 

I'd dance into the pastel ballroom - from FOXCITY - and although flanked by the Hambo Twins Bouncer Bears - one of three different bouncers from Tardfish - trying to make sure that the superstar diva I am is safe and protected. 
I don't care, I'm here to sparkle and party and dance my way through dreams in a flourish of glitter, floofing off my fluffy tail - part of an outfit release from Mug called Yui - and I don't know what they put into these awesome Cosmic Frappes from the tarte coffee shop, but they are fabulous... I'm feeling fabulous...

A Sheepish Looking Rebel

 After a long day at work, and a feeling of it being FAR too stressful than it should have been, I'm finally done selling cheese to demanding tourists. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my job, but sometimes people on holiday seem to forget their manners when talking to retail staff... Don't click your fingers at me, it might work in your culture but when you're here, you can ask me things nicely... Heading home, loud music in my ears, a chance to sit and forget the days stresses, in the past I'd have gone for a coffee and a cigarette I don't smoke anymore but sometimes the desire is there... 

I don't have to get on a train to get home, luckily I can get a bus that stops almost right in front of my door, but Rudh needs to get on a train from the Station B-324 - a backdrop from PALETO - heading north. Whilst she was waiting, Rudh decided to grab a coffee and have a sneaky cigarette - thanks to a Coffee Cup set from Boutique #187 - even though she's a total rebel doing so right below a no smoking sign... Perhaps that's the reason for the sheepish look on her face..

A Day of Mourning

Today is a day of Mourning in the UK, 10 days ago now we lost our Queen... No matter your feelings towards the monarchy, something about it seemed to make the world rock, and the ripples spread through the world not just in the Commonwealth but the ENTIRE world. It feels like we've lost a legend, Brits have lost a mother and a grandmother and I was bereft. 
Today, I sat and watched, like so many other people in the world, as the Brits do what we do best, putting on a show to thank and say goodbye to our beloved Queen Elizabeth II... 

I sat and I cried... I watched the pomp and ceremony of the State funeral, saying goodbye to a strong woman that dedicated her life to serving my homeland. I admired the strength of each and every member of the Royal Family for being able to get through the day without becoming a total mess... I know in their position I'd have been terrible, a snot bubble blowing monster... I sent silent thanks to my Queen, and wished her a happy trip back to beloved husband.... 
I felt a need to work on something to help my emotions ease, and that is usually something that I can do with taking pictures. I wanted to share my mourning, a thanks to my Queen, in my own Rudhish way...

In the Shadows...

Spooky month is approaching, I am SUPER excited to get to Halloween month, and plan on spending all month playing in different costumes. I repeat I am SUPER excited... We have just announced that this year's Maze is happening and we open on October 1st, but until that time, I'm going to start enjoying the spookier, darker, and perhaps more twisted side of myself... I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!! Apparently, I'm not the only one though, I've been feeling like there are people watching me today, I think the spookies are crawling out of the darkness, coming out to play... 

I wandered out of the lab that I'd been setting up as part of our Halloween event, and into the grungy stairwell - a backdrop from Paparazzi... A feeling of being watched came back over me, a shiver went down my spine, and out of the corner of my eye, I spotted not just one but two shadowy figures watching me - the shadows come from MadPea in the Shadow Ghost Collection. 

I know they are excited, a little but they really could just come say hello rather than creeping me out...

Strangers in the Junk Yard

It's been raining hard here for the last few days, it's been raining so much it's very torrential and it's bringing with it the cooler air. There's more than the drumming of rain on the ground though, if you listen carefully the drumming is heralding the arrival of a steampunk phenomenon... An Engine Room is coming and the steampunk brigade is coming to town... I had things to do to prepare, I had things o do to make sure I'm ready and able to welcome the new, shiny brass... For right now though, I decided to take my puppy for a walk and enjoy the cool crisp air... 

I decided to take my puppy, Fluffy, for a walk in the Junk Yard - a backdrop, and pose set actually, from Synnergy.Tavis that is available at the Cake Day Event until September 29th - I wanted to pick myself up some pretty decor to welcome the Engine Room guests. 
Whilst wandering through the cars in the dripping rain, I blinked more than once as there was the strangest of men standing there, looking at me with one large eye... The strangest part was that the Eye, was in the middle of a TV screen, he was a TV MAN - from What's Lost Spirits, that will be available at the opening of Engine Room on September 20th. He seemed to be having a little trouble, his cable was sparking in the rain, he looked like he needed to find somewhere to dry off... Fluffy and I decided to take him home.

Soup of the Season... PUMPKIN!

I've had a lovely, lazy day off, in which I've done nothing too much more than a little bit of laundry and washing a couple of dishes. Besides that I decided to plan something delicious for dinner, I love having the chance to spend time, planning what I want to cook, and I also spend far too often blogging around dinner time so that my blogging seems to focus on food hehe... 
Today I went down to the local farm, a place called Sunset Rising where the pumpkin patch is already teeming with brilliant orange pumpkins... It's Pumpkin Season! YAY!!

I went with a new friend, a cute little wonky donkey - from Jian - into the field to find a few delicious looking pumpkins. It's not the right time of year yet to get myself pumpkins to crave, though that will come soon, but I have a hankering for some fresh, home-made pumpkin soup. I picked what I needed, promising the rest that I'd come back later, and dipped into the barn to my make-shift kitchen... 
Posing for a snapshot with my Pick of the Patch - a pose from -Extra- - it was time to carve the pumpkin up for some delicious soup...

The Magic of a Mirror

I'm home from work, and have had such a long day so I'm going to be slipping into my comfiest jammies, with a cup of tea and the chance to just relax. I think that perhaps I will become a sofa vegetable, the TV will be my new best friend this evening and I KNOW I've been recording a myriad of Ghost Hunting tv shows and since they are my guilty pleasure, perhaps I will spend the evening glued to them... I am addicted to them, I'd LOVE to go on a ghost hunting trip myself, although I'm not sure I could handle being in a real haunted place, calling the spirits out... 

I imagine that I'd love to explore some kind of weird, abandoned, old Victorian House - a backdrop from KuddelMuddel - and I'd be armed to the teeth with all of the Ghost Hunter Equipment - an old gacha set from HopScotch - but I have the feeling I'd still be very on edge if I saw or heard anything whilst I was there... 
As I wandered down the halls, looking and listening in the dark to see if I could find myself a spooky or two, I caught sight of myself in the most beautiful mirror. I couldn't resist a quick "Mirror Mirror" - which is actually the name of the mirror released from Krescendo at the current round of Fetish Fair until September 25th - but the shock I got when I looked into the glass was huge. I could feel my hair moving - a wig from barberyumyum - and my hunting buddies said that there was nothing around me, yet clear as day, looking back at me in the mirror a bunch of Impish Minions - from Hextraordinary - causing trouble...

Bloody Bears for Punk Girls

For some reason I'm in a bit of a grumpy, I cant say anything as to why besides I probably should get myself away from watching the TV and focus on other things. I decided to try and cheer myself up a bit. People will think it's strange that I make myself a little bit more dark and macabre to cheer myself up, but that's always been a thing for me. 
I dug through my wardrobe, I wanted to make myself a little look of the day, something that was dark and mysterious but totally cute... 

Once I'd gotten myself dressed up all pretty, I went for a little trip to get something nice to drink. I found myself stopping off at the teddybear blood bank for a little sweet monster treat, it's something you have to know where to go to find it. The best place to get a Blood Bear, is at the Spookie Store in LAB X2 - a Paleto backdrop. 
I found myself the cutest of outfits to make me happy today though. Have you seen the gorgeous Vivienne out from Violent Seduction - available now at Collabor88 - which I dressed up with some cute jewellery and some ripped tights and bodysuit, to complete that rocker edgy look... I have to say I LOVE this Look of the Day...

I don't wanna play Mouse Trap!

Sometimes it's as if a designer gets into my head...One of my favourite creators, a super awesome Pineapple man managed to get into my head and managed to create something that would be perfect for me... A little extra cheese in a life that's already super cheesy... 

This designer knows that my normal 9 - 5 job is in retail. I work in a cheese shop in the middle of Amsterdam for a company called Henri Willig. We sell all kinds of delicious gouda cheese, made from cow, goat and sheep milk, with all kinds of different flavourings, smokings and aging... It's a delicious place to work. 
Yet, when I put on the most amazing new release from Ananas - that you can get your hands on at a discount this weekend - it was like Diffthought had gotten into my head and made it just for me... The Mac part of this costume aside, I LOVE THE CHEESE!!! I wasn't prepared what happened next, while I was dancing around in my cheese, HellBone accidentally hit the shrink button on a gun borrowed from a crazy inventor and I shrank... Then I had to run for my life...

Magic the Monsters Away!

Things are so wonky in my mind right now... I, like many brits right now am in a state of shock, mourning and perhaps a little feeling of being lonely and lost after the loss of our constant, our backbone, our Queen. May Queen Elizabeth II rest in peace, back in the company of her beloved Prince Phillip. 
I needed to do something more than a little distracting, I needed to find a place to rest my mind, and let me tell you it's no easy thing when your head is full of fluff... 
I needed to take some magic into my own hands, I needed to defeat some of the monsters in my head... The Monsters are big and scary, they need to be vanquished with the magic that I can only find inside myself... 

Lurking in the darkness of the Phaetons Passageway - a backdrop from Normandy - and whilst I was creeping along the halls, a huge monster appeared from behind a Weird Science Tank - an older release from Violetility - to scare the crap out of me... The magic inside me bubbled up, and I HAD to blow him away! 
I managed to get that mean looking monster, all the while looking absolutely fabulous in the most gorgeous Exie Neon Dress and it's matching sleeves - from Psycho Barbie - which looked adorable with the new Lunchmeat DEFENSE Garters - available now at The Grid. Just a little note for these Garters, I actually tried them with the Maze Soft Kits for Maitreya. It made the straps look like they were cutting in just enough to be realistic, but also meant that I could hide one inside my leg by wearing only the separate thigh options...

Fairies that Flicker in the Starlight

No matter how much I try to convince myself that if I was a fantasy creature it would be a mermaid, I seem to find myself revealing my inner fae time and time again... I can't help it, the Fairy in me loves to sparkle and shine, and just like my demonic self she's a bit of a show off... 
One day she's an elegant, serene dancing in a garden, the next she's a dark little magical imp, sparkling in the moonlight... Today, she's dancing through the darkness on a different planet amongst the stars... 

On planet Trig - a backdrop from Paparazzi - she's dancing amongst the Astara Planets, sparkling as she goes. 
The attire for this beautiful space fae, is one of the most beautifully magical catsuits that I've ever had the pleasure of slipping my little body into, Coming soon to Cyber Fair, and is from the creative mind of Fever Fae - the brilliant designer of Decoy - the sparkly chest piece as the stars move through the sky, so do they move through her body and soul...

I might run away on an adventure... 

Maybe I'll go to the woods, maybe I'll go to the beach, ooooh or maybe I'll go somewhere the lights glitter and the people are fabulous... Hollywood calls - thanks to a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - so I'm going to dress myself so I'm movie star ready and jump into the passenger seat of my car, The Good Part - a pose set from Fashiowl - starts now...

Even Monsters Love Pumpkin Spice!

I had today off, thanks to the fact that it is a holiday in America - thank you America for having a national holiday, although I'm not sure which one it's supposed to be, is it Labor Day? LOL - but that meant I got the chance to sit and hide away from the builders that are demolishing my house. 
I had to get myself out of the house somehow, the little monster in me was going stir crazy, and it's the start of Autumn - kinda sorta almost - but that means the start of Pumpkin Spice Season... I know it's  little cliche, but I NEED to get myself one... 

The little monster in me had to find a way to sneak out... I slipped a jacket on over my super, cute Ellie Dress - from AsteroidBox - and tried to subdue my unruly friends, it would have been easier if I hadn't had the Medusa Friends - from Tardfish - hiding in my hair today... 
I snuck out via the Moody Blue Sewer - a backdrop from Paparazzi - and decided that I was heading directly to Junk Food in The New Ones mall, on a Junkin Coffee run... They make the BEST Pumpkin Spice everything!!! Luckily the sewer was quiet, there was no sign that I'd come and gone, with the exception of a few of the first of the falling leaves having followed me into the sewer as I made a dash home...

It's Corn! It's Poppin'!

Corny Crazy Sundays, it's a poppin' good time... 
I think that tonight I will curl up on the sofa and watch a movie, oooh or the new Rings of Power Series that I have been waiting for. That sounds like a plan, I might grab my Gandalf Teddy, put on my jammies, and make myself some popcorn, whilst I watch those crazy corn videos that have become the new thing on various social media platforms... 

I love a bowl of popcorn for the movies, I'm much more a sweet popcorn girl than a butter or salted popcorn kinda girl... 
I grabbed some of those microwave Popcorn bags and filled a Popcorn Bowl - both of which are from Junk Food - and then had to tell my lil Chihuahua puppy off for jumping on the counter and becoming a sneaky snacker - from JIAN. 
Now it's usual in my house that something crazy, and somewhat magical, can happen... In this case, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a little magical sprite that shouted "It's Corn" - a costume from Ananas that's available this weekend for Happy Weekend - grabbed a fellow corn cob that flew off into the sky to a chorusing chant of "It's Corn!" - from FOXCITY. 
I know that the corn cobs would need to have dried out a little, but I never expected that to happen...

So Many Flavours!

Here I am, blogging again just after dinner and rather than blogging whilst feeling hungry I've finally had dinner. I've had dinner but now I want some dessert. If it wasn't the main course, then it had to be the sweet stuff... 
ICE CREAM... ICE CREAM... ICE CREAM... I need to have some ice cream, I found the most delicious flavour from Lidl, its crunchy almond with caramel... I might have to head to an Ice Cream shop to get myself a cone or two... 

At the Monsterous Sweet Tooth Ice Cream Bar - a bar collection that includes both counters, ice-cream frozen counter, and other decor from Junk Food, available at N21 - you'll be greeted by an adorable little Scawy Monster - an old release from MishMish - and I had the hardest choice to make.
