Do Elephants Like Peanuts?

When I was a kid, I never got to go to the Circus, at least not the traditional kind. My mum was always a little against what they put the animals through, and the way that they were made to do things that were not true to their nature. She has never been a fan of zoos either, but circuses that had animals participating were particular no-gos... That doesn't mean the thought of the circus never inspired me, and there was one time I randomly caught sight of an Elephant in our local park when the circus was in town... 
I've always loved Elephants... They always seem super intelligent and their eyes tell so many stories... 

When I saw the elephant in the park outside the the circus tent, I couldn't actually believe that the elephant was standing there where the dogs were usually around to run around and play... 
Watching TV earlier I sat munching on some peanuts and for some reason I got to thinking about the circus elephant and how elephants seem to like nute. Is that a real thing ro did I just pick that up and believe it because it happened in Dumbo? I had to find out... I went to a local circus in SL and bought myself some nuts from the peanut vendor - actually a weekend sale release from Junk Food - then tentatively heading towards the circus elephants, they seemed to sense what I had to offer...

Demonic Heart Collectors

It's almost February, and there has been a slow, subtle trickle of all sorts of hearts and flowers beginning to appear in the Second Life universe... It's the season of Love and it's almost here, and although I am NOT a huge fan of Valentine's, the romance is not something that can really be avoided... There's plenty of love out there for everyone, lots of love that can be sweet, passionate and burn bright hot, but it can also cause a world of hurt and pain. There may be angels singing songs and prising the good side of love, but there's always a demon that loves love for the darker reasons... 

On an Evil Night like this one, the demons are already on the look out for those little love hearts that have gone astray. Collecting up the beating hearts - like the Beating K-Hearts from KitCat available this weekend for the Saturday Sale - this little demon has decided that wearing some adorable gloves like her favourite pair of "clawed halfgloves" - from Quills & Curiosities, available now at The Warehouse - to pick them any she finds.

The Beauty on the Mantelpiece

The Midnight Order releases all kinds of magic into the Second Life universe, and the beauty of the midnight hour is definitely where the sparkles are left to glitter in the dark... 
While going through a box of treasures left at the Midnight Order, I found the most amazingly beautiful bust that simply had to come out into the light and be placed amongst the treasures on my mantlepiece... 

The Mantelpiece in the Vintage Room - a backdrop from TROPIX - I have an old fireplace with a HUGE mantlepiece that I scatter with some of the most gorgeous antique, and somewhat magical treasures... The treasures are filled with so much magic and light, that even the cobwebs are left to sparkle... 
The Bust that I found will definitely sit pretty in the middle of the decorations, she's a soft blue porcelain decorated with deeper blue enamel - thanks to the Fallen Gods Inc at Midnight Order - and lace, jewellery and feathers and the most beautiful wig - from S-CLUB also at Midnight Order...

Brat Mode Loading

I am on my first day off this week, and I don't have to work until Sunday, so I'm allowed to let my hair down and live a little... I am going to have to party in SL though because I cannot handle the thought of going out in real life. I have a massive cold and my girlie monthly... Partying in Second Life seems like a much more exciting idea... 
I love to get dressed up and look all pretty, even if it's just in my virtual world, especially when you can look all sparkly and shiny and prettiful... 

Outside the doors of Club X - a backdrop from Paleto - I had stepped out for a breath of fresh air grabbing my fur Alice Stole - from Caboodle - and since I don't smoke in SL all that often I popped in a piece of gum... 
The outfit that I chose to wear looks like one of those that are dressed to kill... A super shiny PVC 'Sukie' Dress - from Psycho Barbie - has some of the most AMAZING metallic textures I've ever seen on a dress, and teamed it with a pair of Enchantra spiked gloves - also from Psycho Barbie, in a equally delicious shiny PVC texture -  screams fabulousness and diva all at once. A dress like this causes a spark to ignite in me, the "Brat Mode Loading" - which you can see in the tattoo on my chest, a tattoo from Adora-tions, which is available until January 28th at Sense Event - someone turned on the crazy brat, the button glowing green, ready to go... Dare you to press that button?!

Even a Jedi has to Walk her Pug!

I know some of the things that I play with when it comes to my blog tend to be somewhat random. I am often inspired by the events in my life, the things that I'm enjoying or the things that I'm watching or even the things that make me unhappy will often be a reason that my blog goes one way or another... 
HellBone's birthday is coming up, and he's also more than a little excited by the fact that the Mandolorian is coming back in March, so for some reason Star Wars is on my mind... 
Then I met my brand new little friend, the force was suddenly strong... 

Standing on the face of the rocky planet, watching an ominous spaceship moving closer towards a Central Vortex - available now from Synnergy.Tavis - even though so many different things are slowly beginning to set in motion, there are things that cannot be forgotten... 
Even though she is a highly trained, and awesomely dressed - thanks to the amazing Florian Pants & Boots from AsteroidBox at the Midnight Order - Jedi knight, she had to find a moment or two to take Yoda Pug - a cute puppy from Rezz Room - for a little pee walk amongst the Carnivorous Pitcher Plants - from Hextraordinary at Midnight Order...

Lights for Good Fortune

I've been trying to learn more about festivals and holidays from around the world and recently I was looking at the Chinese New Year Celebrations, but there is one more custom that is a part of these celebrations, and that would be the lighting of floating lanterns and their release into the sky to float up amongst the stars... 
There is a location in Second Life, that has been perfect for watching the floating lanterns. It's a beautiful location anyway, but Cloud Edge is well worth visiting... 

Standing on a hill, high above the clouds I stand to watch the floating lanterns... Each of these lights represents a person letting go of their past and welcoming the new year with good fortune. I've lit my light and I'm watching it float off into the darkness... 
This year will be my year, I've decided to do all kinds of different things to move my life on, and right now, I'm making moves to become a better, stronger and happier person in all apects of my life...

Aquarius, A Water Sign

There is a new event on the SL grid this month which should really grab the attention of a wide range of people across the board... The fantasy lovers, the believers in the spiritual and those who celebrate their birthdays under any given starsign... This event is looking to the stars, the super Stellar, the starsigns are the theme, and as the first of the signs starting in January, the first round is Aquarius... 

Aquarius is a water sign, and the sign dates from January 20th to February 18th, it's an important sign in our household as it's HellBone's sign... 
So for Aquarius, rather than model myself on a Water Carrier, I decided to get myself under the water... I'm going to swim in the aqua waves, I'm going to bathe in the waters of the Aquarius Bath - from Violetility at Stellar - and play with my adorable new friends the Mer-Cats- from Tardfish, which I am TOTALLY in love with because I have always wanted a mer-kitty - and while underwater I might partake in a bowl of some delicious Water Bearer Cereal - from Junk Food - which just like in Spongebob manages to stay in the bowl...

Candles Light the Midnight Order!

The Midnight Order has once again opened it's doors to the darkest parts of the magical places in the Second Life universe... The magic flows through it's sacred order and for a very short time it will seep into the light of the grid to share it's darkness... 
The outside looks like it's a beautifully sunlight day, the sands of the desert are calm and the wind isn't shifting th grains over the dunes... Inside the castle walls though, the darkness keeps things shaded and cool, magic happens better when it's cooler... 

Lurking in the shadows of the halls of the Midnight Order, I decided to light some of the Vered Set Candles - a Midnight Order release from random.Matter - to welcome the spirits in. Being a greeter of the KORE - from V/.VoluptasVirtualis - wearing their robes and marked by the Sjora Tattoos - from Lilithe' - hoping that the spirits will love the Midnight Order...

Rabbits for Chinese New Year

I tend to find myself getting so wrapped up in the big holidays - Halloween, Christmas, Valentines and even Easter to some extent, but there are so many amazing holidays in different cultures, countries and religions that I know little to nothing about... I figure that this year I'd like to take a moment to look at some of these special holidays and learn more about them. I will say now that I don't want to cause offence to anyone, and if I make mistakes PLEASE by all means feel free to come and talk to me about them - no need to be mean, remember I'd LOVE to learn. 
So for this first holiday, as it's the start of a new series of blog posts for me, I'm going to start with this weekend's holiday... Chinese New Year... 

Chinese New Year marks the start of the new Lunar Cycle, and the start of the 24 lunar cycles - and although it's often celebrated along with the more traditional Western New Year that we all celebrate on December 31st/January 1st cross over, the celebration is held on the arrival of a New Moon usually between January 21st and February 20th... Chinese New Year is one of the most important events in the Chinese Calendar, but it's influence has spread to many other neighbouring cultures too... The events are traditionally a celebration of honouring deities and ancestors, and there are many different customs involved including the lighting of firecrackers, or the giving of monetary gifts in red envelopes to promote good fortune, wealth and happiness... 
Alongside this, there is folklore dating back over 2500 years which links the Lunar Calendar with various animals, and it is said that people who are born on these year have traits that are representative of these animals. I was born in 1986 which is the year of the Tiger - and apparently it's a Fire Year too, so I am a Fire Tiger - but this year, we are entering into the year of the Rabbit!!
I hope my little creative attempt at enjoying Chinese New Year is right, I'm surrounded by bunnies, beautiful lights to light up the night and even being showered in some of those lucky money pouches... Maybe this will bring me some good luck...

Sitting Pretty in the Garage

Sometimes when I get the chance to sit and plan a blog post there is nothing that really springs to mind as to what I want to do... I have so much to do, the Midnight Order event opens today and I have a LOT of amazing new things coming that I can't wait to share, but for today I ran out of time, and I NEEDED to find something that could be quick and fun and show off my amazing sense of style... Instead of something that takes lots and lots of time to set up, I decided on a cute fun photoshoot for a little Look-of-the-Day... 

I am in LOVE with this outfit, it's one of those that I have been wearing on and off for a few days... These Agnes Pants - from AsteroidBox at Equal10 - look PERFECT with the amazing Riku Boots - from Breathe - as the dots on the pants look so close to the Riku Spikes. The rest of the most amazing outfit just all seemed to fit together so perfectly, and when I went to try and find the perfect place to pose, I didn't make it past the Warehouse - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - where the cars are parked because it just seemed so cool and the perfect backdrop for my Look-of-the-Day...

Zoobydoo of the Berry Butts

I know I'm random sometimes, but I LOVE when I get more random than normal and do things that make even me do HUH?! 
Today I saw something new released that made me have an instant lapse into a jingle from a TV commercial from a few years ago in the UK. It was one that my mum was obsessed with, and she even set the music as her ringtone... I'm not sure if you've heard it, but the Ribena Advert from the UK has one of the catchiest soundtracks ever... I've decided to add it to the end of my post, so you get to enjoy it too, but today I found myself in the strangest of berry situations... 

I'd been in the middle of posing for an art class, I had slipped in amongst the prop fruits and flowers, set up all perfect for a still life, while I pretended to be a cute little strawberry - thanks to an older release from Ananas, that you can pick up at the mainstore as part of a set called Healthy Heads. 
While I was sitting there trying not to get a case of the giggles so that I'd mess up for the artists painting the scene, when there was a strange noise through the air, a strange song like noise "Zoobydoo Zoobydoo Zoobydoo"... A tiny little space ship, parked itself on a piece of fruit, and out of it popped the most adorable little "Fruit Butt" buddies - from Tardfish at the round of DollHolic that starts today - started dancing around singing the same tune that the space ship "Zoobydoo, Zoobydoo, Zoobydoo"...Such cute, happy little berries!

Disco Sparkles

I love the times when I can use my blogging as a means of distraction from my everyday normal boring mundanities of life... When I let my mind wander, I never know where it will take me, I love it most when I'm taken to those fantastical creative places... 
Today was one of those places, I had gotten my hands on something that made my mind go into asuper sparkly place.A place where the lights are bright and the glitter is dancing on the walls... 

There's a place out there in the galaxy, a club called the Hexagon Hall - a backdrop from Paparazzi, that you can find at Backdrop City which is free for anyone to use - where the lights are bright, and the music is pumping. This club isn't like any other, the dress code is pretty radical, but it's amazing to see all of the pretty sparkling colours. The sparkles are made even more epicly bright because of the sparkling disco balls... The "Disco Ball" Mask - from Dernier - sending rainbows skittering across the walls of the club, coloured by the Crystals in her hand, the pink fluffy 'Blair Boa' - from Mug at Equal10 - soft against my skin that's not covered by the gorgeous little dress.

Needs a little something...

The weather is getting aweful over here in the Netherlands... It's typical Dutch Winter weather, lots of rain, plenty of hail and a wind that will blast through to your bones. It's the perfect weather to stay inside and relax, doing that I find myself logging into Second Life and then going outside LOL... Why go outside into the real bad weather, when you can stay warm and still go out into the thick snow... 

I decided to wander off into the winter wilds of Second Life in a beautiful place where it still 'Tis the Season and there, dressed in the most amazing winter wear outfit topped off with the most gorgeous fluffy hat - a set called Veda from miss chelsea at the current round of equal10 until February 5th - I froze my butt off... I had to stop at a nearby Hot Chocolate Stand, to get myself something warm to drink. The vendor gave me the most amazing large cup of hot cocoa, complete with marshmallows, wafers and chocolate sprinkles. It tasted delicious, but there was something missing... I had to add that little something to make it a "Spiked Cocoa" - from Dots, also at equal10.

Saucy Novels in Detention

I know that I tend to get lost sometimes when I am working on a blog post, it is the one thing that makes me feel most relaxed and trust me, today I need to switch my mind off of things that are going on, but I cannot seem to get my head into working on one of my twisted fairytales... The only thing that is coming easy seems to be the making of pretty looks that I would wear every day... So to distract myself I've decided to work on a little Look-of-the-Day...

WonderRudh and the Pirate Space Cats!

I've been kicking butt and taking names at work today... Thing have been changing at work, and I've decided that this year will be my year, so I sent a message to my boss to ask about a possible step up in my work life and was responded to with lots of positivity. I cannot wait until tomorrow now, although I'm nervous to have a formal sit down conversation to start me on a possible path for a new work course... 
I feel powerful right now, like I could do anything... It's the first time that I've felt like this for a while, and I feel like I could be a superhero...

While I was feeling this powerful, I was walking out on the street heading home. In my head I was skipping down the street in London on a pretty sunny day but in reality it was pissing down with rain in a dark city of Amsterdam. It wasn't long before I heard a commotion and noticed the little space ship blasting back off into space and it's inhabitants, a bunch of Pirate Space Cats - from Tardfish at Level - were causing all different kinds of trouble. 
I slipped into the nearest phonebooth, and had a little Clark Kent moment... Busting out of the booth, as the superhero that I am, I had to start kicking some butt and showing those kitties who is boss!!! Don't mess with WonderRudh! LOL Maybe I need a better superhero name, that really sounds like drain cleaner or something LOL...

Head in the Clouds

Having one of those days where all I want to do is get myself into a pair of comfortable pyjamas, and let my mind wander off into the most fantastical of places. I had my first day back at work after a holiday and it was terribly dull... It's that period just after Christmas when the city seems to be in sleep mode. I wish that I could be in sleep mode too... I would be up in the clouds and dreaming of the stars...  

There's so much magic in the stars, the clouds and the moonlight, and even though there are things in space that may or may not exist, depending on who you talk to, I am still drawn to the stars, drawn to their glittering prettiness... 
I had the most amazing experience of star gazing when I visited my little sister in RL, she lives in a very rural cottage in the middle of nowhere, and the stars there seem more amazing than I have ever seen before. When it's clear you even see the galaxies... It brought a tear to my eye... 
For now though I'm going to laze back and let my mind drift off into the stars...

Born in the 80s!

Doing some New Year Spring Cleaning... Starting with my RL house, and maybe little by little my SL inventory MAY get an overhaul, bear in mind though I said MAYBE and that's never a huge possibility. Whilst I'm sorting somethings out, doing a little organising, I've found some AMAZING things, that will help with distraction... 
First it was the 80s toys that I'd had from my very early years of life, then one of the cheesiest work-out videos and even my old walkman with some of the best classic rock tapes, BUT the best discovery was the brick that was one of the first cellphones... 

There are so many cool old toys, like the funkiest of toy trolls - from imbue - and the dancing Cool Can  - from NOMAD - but I think that the most excited thing happened to be the adorable little Gremlay who instantly decided to get crazy and join in the cheesy 80s workout that I'd managed to get working from a VHS tape on an old TV - from Junk Food at this month's round of Anthem until January 30th... 
Gotta love the cheesiness of the 80s, I was born in the 80s, but I'm really a child of the 90s since that's when I can actually remember things... Yet, I LOVE the reminders of my youth...

Stuck With No Powers!

Over the festive holidays, they tend to play some of the most random movies that could be considered classics these days but are actually films that I loved in my youth. Some of them seem crazy, as in HOW can they possibly call these things classics - it makes me feel so old to know about some of my favourites being called CLASSICS!! - yet one movie caught my attention and I couldn't resist watching for old times sake... 
Austin Powers was one of the movies that played, and it has one of the most funny scenes that cracks me up every time... It's the scene where he gets the cart stuck between two walls, I had to pay hommage to that... 

I found the perfect Sci-Fi Tunnel - a backdrop from TROPIX - and knew the perfect vehicle existed because it was one that HellBone had created, a perfect little ResCart - for Hogs & Cart Wheels. Now all I needed was a gun and the perfect outfit to respresent a Rudhish version of Liz Hurley's character 'Vanessa Kensington' the super spy and fembot... 
One more thing before I go, I have to share the clip of the movie I mean... Give everyone the laugh that I love so much...

Convincing them to give me toys...

Tis a brand new year, and with that comes brand new expectations of myself and all the fun things that go along with the new start. I've been doing some pretty things, some wintery things and for now I've decided to do one of those naughty little things that always make me smile... 
It's about time I got myself a little naughty on, I've been a good girl and now that Santa has come and gone, and won't be back again for a while, I can get away with things... 
Today, I'm going to be slipping into a disguise and heading down to a factory to find myself a new toy that Santa forgot to bring me... 

In this factory, the machines line the Hallway - a backdrop from TROPIX - of the Love Factory - a machine from LEMME - where the Astro Table Men - from Krescendo at the Man Cave - are in charge of creating new toys for special girls and boys... Now the reason I had to get a little robotic is all because these little men are trained to destroy any human that enters, just like the Oompah Loompahs in a small Chocolate Factory. Luckily there are some adorable things from Normandy, that allow me to get myself cyborged up, decorated with neons and fairylights...

A little bit of Frosty Love

Christmas may now be over, but the world is still in that festive feeling mode. I know that people are already gagging for the spring season, but the weather is still very much in the wintery way and I will be more than willing to enjoy that. I LOVE the cold weather, I am NOT a huge fan of snow so long as I have to carry on working, if I can be at home then it's the most wonderful thing in the world... 
If I'm able to have fun, to not worry about getting to work, I LOVE the snow... 

I love when the neighbourhood in Winter - like the backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - is sparkling, white with the fresh falling snow. I love when you're able to wrap up snuggly warm and play in the street building snowmen or making snowballs and snowhearts to share a little Frosty Love - a pose set from -Extra- - until your hands go numb...

It's A Brand New Year!!

For the first time in 2023, I've been able to log into Second Life and spend some time getting my creative juices flowing. I'm finding myself feeling positive in the thoughts of being able to start creating pretty pictures, and assisting myself to grow, to shine and to allow myself to become the best possible me that I have been. 
It's time to stop and pause, to think back now that the dust has settled and that the partying hangover has subsided... It's time to evaulate what has been and what could be... 

On a Cozy Balcony - a backdrop from FOXCITY - as the party has died down, and the mess is not just a little but actually a lot, I had to stop and grab myself a last bottle of Champagne and the only clean Champagne glass - which is actually a Champagne Set from Junk Food - and have one last drink before bed... 
My mind slipped over the year that has passed, and this time last year was such a different place that I'm in right now. This time last year I was healing from a major operation to remove a flesh eaing bacteria, follwing which I spent about 5 solid months barely getting out of bed while things healed... Later in the year, along with many other British people I found myself mourning the loss of Queen Elizabeth II, as it was like losing a grandparent... 
Around the same time renovations started on our house, and all hell broke loose. We ended up with a GIANT HOLE in the back of our house and no-one to do any work, until Hell took matters into his own hands. 
It has been a LONG HARD year, and things have been pretty nightmarish, but I made it through and I've never felt better. I'm doing well at work, I've been losing weight and I'm feeling like my mind is in a good place. I look forward to the new year, I raise a glass for positivity, for prosperity and for a healthy and happy new year...
Happy New Year to anyone that reads this, I hope you can join me on this year's rollercoaster... Please keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times, it's likely to be a bumpy ride!!!
