Royal Guard defends the Stairs to the Sky

I noticed lately that things have been doing a lot of pretty but normie looking pictures lately, I had so many things on my mind since I've been back to the UK, and now I'm wondering how I've gone this long without a little magic, a little fantasy, and a little sparkle... 
I feel stronger after my visit home, I feel powerful.. I feel like I could protect and defend and have the power to do anything I set my mind to... I feel like I could defend the stairway to heaven... 

The Stairs to The Sky - a backdrop from [VOZ] - behind me, the magical warrior in me, or a protector of the goddesses, I've been posted the magical task of defence... I'm a newly instated Royal Guard - thanks to Tardfish - and I'll protect the guards to the Eternal Moon...

Pizza on Cyber Monday

After the Black Friday weekend and all of the fabulous sales that were dominant in Second Life this weekend - I've seen it said that the sales in SL seem better than they were in RL, and I think that I am in agreement with that statement - the sales were epic and massive in their number. Although now that Monday has come around, there has recently been a new day in the sales calendar, Cyber Monday... Of course, although it's an extra day of shopping, today is the chance for me to do Cyber in a different kinda way... 

Tonight, I'm heading into the Old Arcade - a pose set with the arcade machine props from Fashiowl Poses - where the new and shiny cyborgs are hanging out to dine on some delicious Pizza. Eating Pizza is a messy business, and the cheese seemed to get everywhere. You have to be so careful that you don't get the cheese on the fabulous old Caddy Couches - from Krescendo - which happen to be so comfortable, you won't resist being able to sit on them... 
Even the Cyborgs, in their amazing new Hunter Socks and Spectre Briefs - from Normandy - that are teamed so well with the cute tops and her music loving, cybernetic parts...

Wearing a Blanket on Laundry Day

I love going on holidays, and I love coming home and returning to my usual stuff - some stuff more than others - but one thing that I'm not keen on is the mountain of laundry that seems to fall out of my suitcase as I get home. I opened my case, I took out the most important thing, a Christmas Pudding made by my mum and then had to start loading the machine... Until that point I'd washed all my things I'd have nothing to wear... 

This time of year is a little too cold to be sitting around in my nudiepants, that's naked for people that don't speak Rudhese by the way, and I had to find a way to keep warm whilst all my clothes were getting cleaned. I got lucky in this case, I'd received the most wonderfully warm, soft, fluffy 'Wrap Me Up' blanket - from Ananas, available until December 23rd at Tannenbaum in 6 different fun colours - and sat on the floor to watch the awesome show in the spinning machine.

Getting Home, All Snowed In!

I'm back from my vacation, and it was a lovely trip home to spend some very much needed time with my parents and sister. I enjoyed all those things I loved doing at home, things like going to second-hand stores, reading plenty of books and generally lazing around doing not a lot of anything. It's been wonderfully restful... Now though it's back to reality, and on a slippery slope to a jolly holiday... 
Talking of slippery slopes... I looks like it's been more than a little snowy in many of the pretty places in Second Life... 

I got back from my little vacation, there has been lots and lots of changes. Snow has started to fall in the pretty parts of Second Life and there has been so much snow in my corner of the Second Life world that I've been Snowed In - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - so I dumped my case on the steps and after grabbing a shovel - that comes with the pose set also from Synnergy.Tavis - and deidd to get to work. While digging out the snow, and started talking to my new little robin friends, as I begin to dig through the snow...

Already Gone...

It's here, it's here the day that I've been waiting for. I CANNOT be more excited but I have SO MUCH to do, I haven't even really done my packing properly yet and I feel like I'm going to forget something, but I DON'T CARE! I'm going home today, back to good ol' England to spend some much needed time with my Mummy! I have things to get done, packing aside, I have to make sure the house is nice for HellBone while he's alone for two whole weeks, and I have to make sure that I have a gift box ready to send to someone very important, as well as taking a few minutes to sit down here and say 'Don't miss me too much, I WILL be watching and WILL be back!!' 

I always find myself getting more than a little stressed on the days when I have to get ready to go home... I panic like "do I have enough underwear?" "what shoes should I take?" "Do I need a cold weather or a rainy weather jacket?" but then I have to stop myself and realize that none of that matters. I'll be in the UK, not on the moon... If I forget something, I can always get what I need in the UK!! 
I'd packed my bags, grabbed my plushie that I ALWAYS have to take with me when I travel, and even picked up some delicious Submarine Subs on a handy Pick Up Tray - from Junk Food - because you cannot travel without snacks! I think I am ALMOST ready... Will I ever be ready?? 

I have to admit that in ALL of the chaos whilst I was packing to go, I kinda sorta forgot to finish up here... I'm already in the UK, I'm safe and happy but what the heck I'll finish this and make sure everyone knows I'm going to be on the down low for a couple of weeks!!!

Neon Catwoman

I've been being very good lately, I have behaved and been fairly prim and proper since the Halloween festivities have died down. Although sometimes we need to get our crazy out, no matter which way they come out it's a brilliant way to release your pent up energy... 
Today is just one of those crazy days, I had to get myself a little dolled up, a little different and a chance to have a release of energy, today I'm not just going to be Rudh, I'm going to the Catwoman of the future... 

The future will be totally different, neon lights will be the only colours to be seen as the earth is shrouded in darkness and everyone will live in Cyber City - a backdrop from Paparazzi - and the people are able to slink in the dark. Catwoman Rudh of the future is a slinky Black Cat - from Forest Fantasy Store - and she likes to be surrounded by the big, fluffy, Leopard kittens - thanks to the gorgeous pets from Jian. Also, because she is catwoman, she needed the hottest of futuristic outfits with something latex and neon, something that hugs my figure in all th right places - thanks to Normandy and Lunchmeat.

Giant Sandwiches & Scooby Doo Fantasies!

Every night when it comes to food I have to force myself to plan and cook something for dinner. When the hubby is out working, it's even more difficult to plan something for dinner since I can't find the mojo to plan then cook and eventually clean up all by my self... I don't mind the eating part in the middle, but it's the other stuff that makes it all seem more trying than anything else... 
Some days all I want is a sandwich... 

Sandwiches are both easy to make and delicious, PLUS there is a world of endless possibilities when it comes to sandwich fillings... When I was a teen I LOVED Corned Beef and Pickled Onion, when I was a student I LOVED Fish Finger Sanwiches with lots of HP sauce, and now that I work in a cheese shop I have a bit of an addiction to a Smoked Jalapeno Gouda Cheese with Chorizo and Salad... Honestly I could eat sandwiches for every meal, and lots of sandwiches per sitting...
I used to get jealous of Scooby Doo in the way that he could eat sandwiches, and now thanks to the Junk Food Giant Sandwich I can try to live my Scooby fantasies... I was making some delicious sandwiches, delicious Bologna Sandwiches - also from Junk Food - full of lovely fresh ingredients but once I had a plateful I got a little inspired... Scooby Doo Fantasy, here I come!!

Breakfast in Bed

Last night was a bad one, I'd been up and down all night with a migraine, and if you know what migraines are like you will know how much torture it was... I have migraines fairly regularly and have done since I was a teenager. There are many illnesses out there that do some horrible things to a body, but anything in the head always seems more debilitating as the brain just is far too painful to work and all you want to do is sleep...  
I finally got some sleep this morning and woke up to the hubby bringing me a cup of coffee and some painkillers in bed... Breakfast would have been nice too, but I can't get everything I want... 

I'm in bed, resting my head in both worlds... The Bed I have in Second Life is one that I've had for years because it's one of my favourite items of furniture. I love to snuggle up in my bed, it's a HUGE Wingback bed made for Sweet Dreams - from Dust Bunny - although it's so big and loaded with pillows that my plushies have been known to get lost amongst them... 
The look on my face clearly shows the way I feel, pain mixed with insomnia - thanks to Izzie's - so I think it's a good idea to stay in bed - thanks to a pose from FOXCITY - in my comfy Hati loungewear set - from miss chelsea at The Fifty until November 20th. While I was sleeping, HellBone snuck out to the local Hangry diner and made a Breakfast Run for sausage & egg muffins and plenty of hash browns, he even stopped in at the Hive to get some hot tea for me and fresh coffee for him...

Dark Immaculate Heart

I still cant get my mind into blogging something normal at the moment, for some reason I cannot get myself into a normal frame of mind... I think that my mind is stuck in a fantasy world after all of the costumes that I've been putting together for the Halloween festivities... Maybe I'll keep myself getting into the fantasy spirit... It's something I LOVE doing, I will be sharing a little love for dress-up, lot and lots of Love... 

Love is an amazing thing, it can be wonderful magical beautiful, but it can be brutal dangerous damaging. Love can be warm and cozy or hot and fierce. Love can be between couples - or poly relationships - family and even friends, yet when it disappears Love can be the most painful thing in the world to lose. If love is anything, it's deep, it's happiness and it's a better feeling than the most powerful drug could provide. 
Love can be good or bad, if there is a cupid for the good kind of love there should be a goddess somewhere for the bad kind. She hides in the Sanctuary Hell but wears the marks of the Dark Love goddess in the form of the Immaculate Hearts - from CUREMORE.

Not So Innocent Forest Friends!

If ever I feel lost when it comes to the blogging, I tend to find myself heading into a fantasy world, the sparkles and the magic draw me in and seem to somehow make magic happen. When I start getting the creative bug with the pretty magical feeling, I find myself getting lost in the picture all day and then once the magic has coarsed through me, everything seems to become easier... 
I'm hiding in a magical forest glade right now, somewhere I can be alone and don't have to think about anything, but somewhere that may not be as innocent as it seems... 

The glade in the forest - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis, and a whole host of Fireflies from tarte and MishMish -seems so perfectly sparkly, so far away from the rest of the world. 
Though it's not all as sweet and innocent as it may appear, there is more to this pretty grove in the woods, there's more to the glade than meets the eye... If you look closely you'll notice that the log isn't wood, it's actually a soft comfy pillow - from Elm - that makes for a handy bed, but other things also point to a slightly naughty side, look closely at the set of the Forest Friends - from Krescendo, you'll see things more clearly!!!

An Extra Long Hotdog with Mustard!

I'm a bit lost at the moment, I'm a little bit confused and more than a little hungry... I need to find something to eat but at the same time I need to find my blogging Mojo... I think I lost it since Halloween has gone and I have no idea what to do with myself anymore LOL... What do you do when you have no more Halloween fun to blog anymore?! I'm lost... I'm going to have to find something delicious to take my mind off it... 

I ended up letting my feet lead my stomach, and I found some delicious nomnom baguettes in a local PewPew deli. I had plans to turn it into garlic bread, sandwiches and possible dip some into fondue, but as I was wandering along a Fall Pathway - a backdrop from Synnergy - I caught a smell that smelled delicious. I ended up asking the hot dog vendor to put one of his dogs in a stick and make me an ExtraLong Hot Dog with tonnes of delicious mustard...

Tracking down the Ghosties

Dark Adventures has closed for 2022 and that means that we have a REALLY big problem on the sim right now... These spookies have made the dark places their home for the past month and now we have to work hard to get rid of them... It's not something that I am desperate to do, I HATE making them homeless, but we need to clear them out so that we can start working to create a super new experience and a brand new adventure... 

Before we can get rid of them, I need to find them... Unfortunately that means I have to wander around through the dark empty halls to find them... Luckily I have my collection of Ghost Hunting Equipment - from HopScotch thanks to a past gacha collection - I'll walk around and call out "Hey there ghosties, Hey there spookies, Hey there demons" - and search using a pose from -Extra- that they had provided for an awesome event prize - and maybe if I'm lucky, I'll find the ones that don't wanna go away...

Choices, Choices, which door do I choose?

Halloween has finally left the building, although I don't think it will ever fully be gone from my corner of the world. Though there is lots of magic still swirling around in the air, and I know that since Rudh is always into the magical arts, that there will ALWAYS be plenty of magic and monsters and darkness... Yet right now, as the Halloween magic fades away Rudh has a choice, is she going to be playing more on the darkside of the magic, or will she be able to follow to the light?

Standing before the doors in the Library of Portals - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - she has to make her decision before the doors are able to close and block the magic for a while. The dark side is hoping to lure her in with it's beautiful collection of skulls and devious little monsters, but the good side is offering up sparkles and magic tricks and everythig that's cute and adorable! 
Which door should I take? Which is the right path for me... You know it's such a hard choice to make!!!
