Geometrics and Bubbles!

My last post was a ittle morose and I am sorry to anyone that I may have brought down with my unhappy ramblings... Today I was boosted from my feelings of meh by a chance coversation caused by my rambling space and therefore not only did I realise that my therapeutic ramblings help me, they do in fact provide entertainment to others a little bit too... It deftinitely made me feel better and made me feel like today I needed to do something random, sparkly and crazed... 

I dunno why the most random of pictures always makes me feel the happiest, and most alive... I wanted bright and colourful, I wanted something neon and colourful, I wanted colours... I filled my screen with Geometric Light Tiles - a release that has come from the great minds at MadPea, and is still available until November 24th at LEVEL - and brightness that made me feel like I was exploring a magical place like Oz... Maybe it's due to my social media being filled with Wicked stuff, but today was all about the green... Can't have been helped that my Witch Tumbler - from Boutique #187 at SABBATH now - was also a green witch theme and the bubbles were so bubbly they were floating away in the breeze...

Missing You

I know sometimes I'm random and I'm a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions, but I made a RL mistrake today and it's hurt me and I feel a need to get it out and talk to someone. I don't wanna burden my hubby with it, and my family and friends are all busy so why not vent here and let it out this way, maybe someone out there can relate... 
It's getting closer to Christmas... This Christmas will be my first without my puppy Izzy, and even though we lost her in February, I caught myself about to buy her something as a gift for Christmas this morning...

I know it seems like a silly thing, I was buying a gift for my kitty... Anna has become so used tobeing the Queen of the house, but I spotted something so adorable for the puppy that I ALMOST bought it before I remembered that Izzy will be eating her Christmas Turkey with other pets from my past... It brought a tear to my eyes, and I fought hard not to let the hubby see...
Needed to find a way to get it out of my system. I miss her so much, and even though there is NO PLAN to get a new Dog anytime soon - I love the freedom that I have without her being here - I can't stop myself from missing her... I had to find somewhere peaceful, to curl up with a cool drink and my memories, I needed to think of her and have a good cry to get over things...

A Picky Tea for Dinner

It's dinner time... What do I want for dinner?? I'm not really sure, and on days like today I tend to go with a very British option... In the UK when I was growing up, we referred to this dinner as Picky Bits. It tended to be something I made with my sister when mum and dad were away, and now it comes under many guises... Picky Bits, British Tapas, a Picky Tea or the more straight to the point "We-need-to-get-everything-out-of-the-freezer-because-it-needs-defrosting" dinner... Today let me help educate you about the Picky Tea... 

I am not really the best for making a good description of the Picky Tea, I'll pass you over to someone on Social Media, Star Holroyd and her brilliant video on TikTok for the best description...
Roughly though, a Picky Tea is about 80% Beige Foods, 15% Posh Veggies - which works out to be any salad veg that has had some kind of cutting done to it therefore making it "posh" and the last 5% is made up of things that make no real sense with the rest of the foods on the table, has been stuffed in the back of the fridge and will invariably be put back into the cupboard without being touched... But likeI said, listen to Star, she explains things better hehe... 
80% Beige Food, 15-20% Posh Food "Any salad veg that have been sliced, therefore made "posh"", 5% makes no sense to the rest but has been hiding in the cupboard for over a year that is gotten out in the hopes that someone will eat it, although it is invariably put back into the cupboard to wait a little longer... 
For my SL Picky Tea I've gone all out... I have Steak Fajitas with Salsa and Guac, I got a special Thanksgiving Pizza and Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers. There's fresh veggies and Texas Rolls and cheese, and I even found some tins of fish AND some Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire Puds in the freezer. 

What is in the photo:
Veggies: Junk Food - Veggie Trays
Cheese: dust bunny - Summer Picnic in Cheese Wheel
Rolls & Butter: Junk Food - Texas Rolls
Caviar: Fancy Decor - Open Caviar Tin in Orange
Sardines: KittyRey 3D Lab - Canned Sardines
Jalapenos: Lucas Lameth - Bacon Jalapeno Poppers
Chips: random.Matter - Nostalgic Nights in Crisps
Pizza: Junk Food - Thanksgiving Pizza
Fajitas, Guacamole, Salsa & Tortillas: Junk Food - Steak Fajitas
Olives: Katy's Kreations - Six Olive Bowls
Yorkshire Puddings: Stockholm&Lima - Yorkshire Pudding
Backdrop: Synnergy.Tavis - Sotto Cafe {360} Backdrop

Make New Friends

It's already nearing the end of November and that means before very long Christmas will start and things will go bonkers... I have so much to do, I want to get myself some new Christmas decorations and may even go out into nature and collect some wild winter foliage for decor... I'll head out into the wild and make a day of it... 

I'd made myself a little camp on the edge of the woods, just over the bridge in the Snowfall Crossing - a backdrop by Synnergy.Tavis - and after spending a few hours collecting foliage to use as decor, I curled up in a pile of blankets on rugs laid in the snow to hide away for a tea break... 
While I was making the tea, I must have passed out a little, when I woke up I had some new friends that had decided my camp looked like a nice warm plae for a nap... Fox Friends came for pets, and Lil Bear Cubs were making themselves at home - both of these sets of animals are from Aardvark, the bears are currently available at TMD and the foxes are at the current round of ACCESS - whilst the cute little bunnies took over my scarf...

Wolves on a Full Moon

November 15th is a Full Moon, and it is the last super moon of the year... Apparently it's a Beaver Moon, though I'm not sure what that's about and why... Maybe someone knows something somewhere, perhaps Google knows...
Unfortunately that makes people go crazy, NOT that I need any excuse to be a little random because that's exactly what I feel most of the time... For some reason I ended up thinking of a werewolf on the full moon and well... One random thing lead to another... 

Only in this case the cow wasn't the one jumping over the moon, the werewolf was living her best Ceres era... It's a time in a young werewolf's life when the change makes them extra springy - and it's something that I just totally made up because I can lol - but during this little werewolf's Ceres Era - thanks to the amazing Jeans, Waist Sweater, Shoes and Socks created by The Kiwi Co, in collaboration with the Ceres Hairstyle by TRUTH - not only was she ready to jump, she was ready to fly over the moon... Crazy stunting through the skatepark and putting on a show for her puppy friends...

The Crazy Circus

I got through most of Halloween this year with very few clowns and although my Sammy Winchester hates them, there seems to be so many in my mind - and surrounding me in RL for that matter - so today when I'm having my mind off work and onto crazy boring things but as my mind was racing I ended up being surrounded by the clowns in my own personal crazy circus... 

The Crazy Circus is pouring straight out of my overly tired mind today, it's like someone has peeled back my scalp and the monster within is the ringmaster in my own personal crazy place... The clock is ticking until we can use that brilliant phrase once uttered by someone a little bit beetlejuicy - and a reason that I'm looking a little rotten tonight whilst still wearing my amazing new Suddenly Cardigan from my newest sponsor Garmonbozia at the current round of FaMESHed - for now I'm checking on the Unicorn Balloon Skele - the October group gift from Aardvark - in her cage and getting more than a little frustrated that one of those crazy idiot clowns left the gate open and released the Chained Up Buns - a new release from Tardfish for this month's Anthem... Wrangling bunnies was not what I had in mind... 
Let's turn on the lights for now, It's Showtime - lit by a sign from Krescendo at the new Black Fair - on with the show...

Discovery of Lost Souls

It's November 11th today and whilst in the Netherlands it's considered a day similar to Halloween when kids knock for candy and sing a song - think a mixture between Halloween and Christmas carols LOL - for other places, the UK included, today is Rememberance Day... 
Although World War I was officially over before November 11th, the treaty was officially signed and sealed to come into effect on the 11th day of the 11th month at 11am, so it is customary - although parades tend to be held on the second Sunday of the month - to hold two minute silence at this time to pay respect, give thanks and remember those who lost their lives during war. The thought behind it took on a greater meaning after the end of WWII, and even now people who have lost their lives to protect our freedoms are remembered on this day more than any other... 

The fields of Flanders, where the battles took place and where the blood red poppies grow year on year, we wear poppies as a way to remember them... They shall not grow old, but we shall remember them... 
Even to this day the creatures of Natural Salvation - a set created by the amazing Faunus, that includes the Skulls, Body paint and Floral Attachments I'm wearing - are Ghouls - which coincidentally are the heads made by BeSpoke and can be found as the Ghoul Nyx heads - that stalk through Flanders Fields, to find and guide any lost souls seeking peace...

The Chains of a Demoness

Having to work so much and having so little time off is like a form of torture... Being an adult is a sucky feeling sometimes and I wish I could go back to when I was like 11 or 12 when life seemed simpler... 
Working all the time makes me feel stuck in a rut, like I'm trapped in a cage and have no hope of getting out of it. Sorry if that sounds depressing, and I guess in a way it is, but I needed to vent and isn't that kinda what my rambling space is for... Once again my mood has affected what I'm posting today, and it's definitely been improved by making something pretty... 

Demons were once little angels that have fallen into the darkness, and I'm definitely more of a demon than an angel... I am a good girl, but there are lots of little things that reveal the dark cracks in me... 
I like the dark little demonness inside often feel trapped, chained into the daily drudge of normal life. I'm in a job I love, if there weren't so many crazy people involved, I'm in a happy home where I feel I can be safe and relax, just a shame it's so far away from my family that I miss terribly... Things seem a bit difficult right now, but before long I'll be able to take some time out and spend some time in the UK, recharging my batteries... I need that to break free...

A Hot Coffee Break

Tis the season when things are getting darker and quieter and colder... I come out of work in the cold cheese shop, and the streets are dark and cold... I love nothing more than a nice hot cup of tea, or coffee, or hot chocolate to warm me up... If you've not tried the Dutch Chocolate Milk Brand that is Chocomel, you really are missing out...

So today on my way home from a lovely day out, I stopped to get myself a lovely cup of hot cocoa with a dash of peppermint from the vending machine at the station... Not sure this would ever be a thing in RL anymore, hot drink vending machines on station platforms, but I am sure I remember it when I was a kid in the UK - maybe I'm imagining it though... Not sure I'd want a hot drink from a vending machine on a station platform really, but think about how much it would be a good thing for those in need when things get cold...

Foraging for Mushrooms

I've been at work all day today, but it's been oneof those fabulous Autumn days...The Sun has been shining, and the air is chilled... It's wonderful, and my favourite time of the year because of it really... 
I love going out on long walks in the chilled air, crunching through the fallen leaves, hunting for conkers or pretty leaf colours and I've always felt like I'd love to go on a nature walk to forage for mushrooms... I don't like to eat them, but the idea of foraging for them makes me smile... 

Outside the Cabin in the Woods, I decided that it was time to get a mushroom harvest hunt on... I dressed in something cozy, casual, a gorgeous mushroom knitted cardigan - from the Madi Set in the miss chelsea booth at the soon to end round of equal10 - and a cute little matching beret - which comes with the Pumpkin Hair from Wasabi - to go on my hunt... 
I know that the Amanita Mushrooms are poisonous, and definitely not for eating, but they make such pretty decor items, I NEED some to decorate the house...

Lumiere Obscura & the Cutie Candles

The Halloween magic has gone already and I'm feeling a little bereft, I didn't do much of ANY Halloweening this year, and I'm kinda sad about that... That doesn't mean the magic is totally gone though, there's always going to be some sparkly magic to lighten up the darkest of wintery nights... Sparkles can magic can be found everywhere, they are hiding out waiting to dance into the Christmas lights...

Soon the fae folk will make everything sparkle, but they haven't totally disappeared... I went in search of one today, I needed to see something a little magical, and it wasn't long until I spotted something flitting around the chandeliers of the Belle Ballroom - a backdrop by Synnergy.Tavis by the way - looking more closely it was somethings... A Candelier Fae and her Cutie Candles - from MishMish - that flitted around on magically borrowed wings... The Lumiere Obscura - a Headpiece and Outfit Set that was released by Moon Amore for October's Collabor88 - Fae is waiting amongst the glittering crystals of the chandeliers waiting until she's allowed to start lighting the candles of Christmas...

Fairy Teas Need Human Magic!

Halloween has been and gone now, and that means, as the great Queen of Christmas Mariah Carey says "It's TIMEEEEEEEEEEE!" Christmas is almost here and we are on a slippery slope to the visit from the big man in red... 
It is time though to calm things down and watch the world go by a little, time to enjoy the Autumn colours and the chill in the air. The best way to do that... Time to settle down with a cuppa tea, as the happy little fae in me takes a break from painting the nature in red and gold...

The fae folk have a magical crystal table set up in the Enchanted Hall, with the soul purpose of it being for making tea and eating yummy things that magically appear... Cakes of all kinds, and croissant sandwiches sit on the mushroom clove crockery, while the tea cups in the set sit waiting to be filled with delicious hot tea or coffee... Most of the things in the Fae kitchen are naturally sourced, but if you look closely you will see that a trip was made to the human world in search of one of the most important things in the world... COFFEE CREAMER - from Junk Food - because no matter what kind of magic the fae have, there will ALWAYS be better coffee creamers in the human world hehe...

Trick or Treating for Pennies

 HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! The day of the darkest magic has finaly arrived and there is so much fun to be had... I'll admit to you now that this October has been a whole lot less Halloweeny than years gone by, and even though it feels like I've done a lot less Halloweeny stuff this year I'm kinda happy to just be able to relax and enjoy the chill in the air... 

I spent a long time trying to work out what I wanted to be this year for Halloween... I finally got my Hop(e) on - which also happens to be the name of the backdrop from K&S - and realised that posing in the sewer there was one character I had to be... The sewer seemed far too full of trash, and even the tentacle monster that dwells in the dark wants to escape... 
What kinda Halloween spooky lives in the sewer you might ask? For those of you that appreciate a good horror movie, there's only one real answer... I'm dressing all cute and evil clowish, I'm going to get my IT on... 
One of my store obsessions, Mug, made the perfectly girlie version of Pennywise's outfit - appropriately called Penny, and available until November 10th at Kustom9 - and with the addition of a little make-up to look a little Scherzo - in a make-up that is a Hunt Gift from Fallen Gods Inc, at the soon to shut Trick or Treat Lane - and my clowning around was ready...

Shhh... She's Sleeping!

 It's Halloween Eve, the night before the night of the darkest magic and creepiest events of the year... 
I've had a busy day, but tomorrow is my day off and I'm going to spend it witching it up... Letting myself enjoy the darkness... 
Rudh has been busy getting herself ready to enjoy the Halloween festivities, and looking for the perfect Halloween costume...

The biggest problem that she has every year is because she's spent so much time playing dress-up all month, that by the time she gets to Halloween she has NO IDEA what to dress up as... 
Her and her little friends - all of which happen to be dolls from Garbaggio - spent today planning costumes to be characters from Silent Hill... Rudh and her manly friend Pyralis even had a costume clash, which meant that even though her fabuluous Butcher Set - from Faunus - was better and very awesome, she needed to find something else and fast!!! 

What is she wearing;
Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory
Outfit (Including Weapon & Mask): [Faunus] - Butcher Set

Dolls: Garbaggio - Pyralis, Nora, Lorna & Mona Dolls

Queen Mab... Moth Oracle

I've had a day at home to create a little magic, and as it's getting closer and closer to Halloween, I NEED to let some of that magic out to play... I have no idea what I will be wearing on Halloween itself this year, but I admit that I'm pretty stumped for ideas this year... It never happens, though I will admit I saw someone post on facebook about how this year is less Octoberish than an October is supposed to be and I can't agree more... WHY CAN'T I GET MORE HALLOWEENY ALREADY??!
Maybe some Dark Magic will help me along the way... I'm going to have to ask the spirits for help with this one... 

The oracle known as Queen Mab is one with the moths - she's also a mask and halo set from Tardfish, for the soon to close Nightshade event - and can be found in the darkest parts of the Living Forest - which is a backdrop from The Bearded Guy - and if asked nicely, she may be willing to consult the oracle moths on their creepy skull for advise, guidance and maybe even a peek into the future...

Halo & Face Accessory: Tardfish - Queen Mab in Eyed (Available until October 28th at Nightshade)

Backdrop: The Bearded Guy - Living Forest Mortal Backdrop

Sharks in the Water

I love my job, please don't get me wrong in what I'm about to say but I HATE PEOPLE WITH A PASSION sometimes... No one in particular, no cultures or home locations in particular, no races religions or ages, just people as no matter how much I try to be lovely while working in retail, there are some people who just like to be rude and treat me like I'm not good enough... 
On the other hand, as I'm putting out cheeses to taste they circle around me like sharks... 

Never would anyone believe that working in retail is like swimming in tempestuous waters, until they have actually held a job in retail. Retail tourism feels like a totally different kettle of fish though too, most of the people I speak to on a daily basis are non-engish speakers with their own cultures and habits, but there's one thing that connects them all... The FREE FOOD I have out as tasters... You'd think most of these people had never had aything to eat the way they swim like sharks sensing blood as they cross the store... 

What is she wearing;
Cage: Paper Moon - Horror Head Cage
Head: BeSpoke - Shark Kairoz in Thresher (Available until October 28th at Nightshade)

A Kinky Little Doll

It's Saturday and I've been free today... I finished a book that's been stuck in my mind since I started it, and I think it MAY have influenced the post that I created today... You may have heard it somewhere, but lately I've been reading a LOT of Dark Romances and SMUT, and I LOVE IT - in fact I find getting through a book without it, somewhat hard going now too lol - but the last book I read was a twist on the Nightmare Before Christmas and I'm not sure how I feel about it... 

There is a lot of sex in this book, "Skeleton King" but it brought Rudh very much closer to one of the main characters. Sally, or Sarah as she is called in this version, is not a rag doll made of cloth but is someone more akin to Rudh in that her body is covered in scars. She's been cut up and roughly stitched so that her body looks like that of a dolls... Her body is cut, stitched and patched, but the scarring doesn't bother her... 
Since she's little more than Frank Finkle's sex toy, she gets used a lot, and well... Rudh has never complained about that either. She's a lover of new toys that are very good Halloween treats - two different sets from Krescendo that are perfect seasonal kinkiness - her demons are calling and even the Naughty 8-Ball is ready and all laid out on the Ritual Platform - from Violetility - for the naughty games ahead...

Fighting in the Cosmic Clash

I know that most people don't associate the Halloween season with space based things, but for me, Aliens go hand in hand with my nightmares. I've always had a bit of a phobia about them, and it doesn't help that my Hubby is an Star Wars superfan, I'm never keen on thoughts of Space... I sometimes cannot help myself with thinking of the stars... 

I have seen all of Star Wars - and by ALL of Star Wars, I mean ALL of Star Wars with all the spin-offs and series and cartoons - and I have a thing for Baby Yoda, but not too sure if I'm that bothered by the rest of it... Just don't tell my husband... 
I think if I was in Star Wars I'd end up as a Rebel... Being a good girl can get a little boring... Although I've been a good girl for a while now, the inner baddie is desperate to escape under the surface... That doesn't mean I'm not a good girl... 
I'd jump in a starship in the middle of a Cosmic Clash - which happens to be a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - and I'd bring my own version of a droid, he's a bot that's perfect at making breakfast but is terrible in a fight - just so you know he's the Breakfast Bot from Aardvark, and I've been a little naughty in making his tray invisible for this picture's purposes but I've added the ad below so you can see how cute they are with breakfast trays...

Only Books have the Answers!

Today has been a busy but lovely day... I got to see my mum for a few hours when her cruise docked in Amsterdam - she said my tour was much nicer than the one offered by the cruise operators - and then after a very hectic morning, I came home to relax... I had a shower, got into something comfortable and promptly took a nap. I'd been planning to read, but I only managed a few pages before I passed out... 

Nothing like curling up with a good book, I LOVE reading under a blanket with a cuppa... I've been reading so much this year, and I realised the other day when I didn't get a chance to read before bed that I had trouble falling asleep... 
Like I said though, being in my jammies, with a good book, a cup of tea or coffee and my darling pussy cats - like the Bat-titude and Arachno Cats from Aardvark at the current round of ACCESS - can make everything better. In this case, I'm sat with a voodoo doll friend of mine whilst I look through the Necronomicon as the mess of my desk wasn't revealling the information I needed it too... Not even my Pendulum Prediction Board - from MadPea, available until November 10th at Kustom9 - wasn't able to find the answers...

Stand Out in a Crowd

Tomorrow I'll be doing something a little different from normal... Rather than going to work in the city, I'll be meeting up with my mother and her friend who are stopping in on a fancy-schmancy cruise... I'm so looking forward to it. I just hope that I can find her in the crowd, I need a way to stand out in the crowd.. I've never been good at standing out in a crowd... 
At this time of year there are SO MANY fantastic costumes to be found in SL too, it's hard for the usually crazy costumed dresser like me to find a way to stand out... The other ghosties have turned to me for advice... 

It's laundry day in the ghostie glen... A day when the whiter than white sheet ghosts gather together to have a bath with some lovely laundry detergent. There have been discussions about how we're going to get more notice this year, and how we're going to stand out in the crowds of amazing Halloween gear... I had a wild idea, seeking out a LARGE cauldron that is full of the Firework Green Potion - which is actually an amazing Halloween Fireworks Cauldron, that is available from MadPea for the current round of Equal10 - and we were going to tie-dye our sheets!!!
I even managed to find a few accessories with a touch of neon, and some other Glitter Babe - a dress from Neverwish, which is TOTALLY gorgeous by the way - fabric to make a dress to wear under my sheet for added affect...

The Mourning Moth and her Pets

I felt like it was time for a little dark magic... Halloween is getting closer and closer, and so far the magic has barely been grey let alone dark... I think the Halloween spirits are beginning to get a little twitchy... 
There are spirits stirring in the deepest parts of the darkest forest... Monsters are getting restless and beginning to crawl out of the darkness... 

In the forest it feels like you are being Watched - a backdrop from The Bearded Guy - yet it is not the eyes you need to watch out for. The dark Mourning Moth - a release from Faunus that is still available until October 24th at Kawaii Secrets - is lurking, her dark magic having lured the Arachnid Belle - a gorgeous outfit created by the amazing Eliavah in a brilliant collaboration with everfaery for this month's Kustom9 - to create her a magical outfit made with dark magic in mind... 
She and her wonderful pets, the pack of Paimon - a pose prop included with the pose set from Fashiowl - and the large black Forest Spirit - from Tardfish - are preparing their arrival... It is time for more black magic...

Kooky Snax and a Mug Machine

I've been thinking back on things that arent totally scary over this Halloween season, maybe because I'm not feeling great but al I want to do is chillax with a good dose of Halloween themed smut and a blanket... It's times like this I miss being able to watch cartoons on tv with a snack and a blanket...Isn't that what weekends are made for?

Maybe I'm not quite as chicken as my old favourite Saturday morning cartoon friend, Scooby Doo, as I'm a big girl that loves to watch ghost hunting tv shows, but I DO love myself a cookie snack... 
I LOVED Scooby Doo, I always wanted a ride in the Mystery Machine - athough I guess the Van costume from Mug at Collabor88 will have to do - and since I can't find the original Scooby Snacks, I'm going to have to make done with the Junk Food branded Kooky Snax...

Ears: HAZEL - CANINE EARS FLOPPED
Hair: Magika - Violet Hair
Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory

Not just a Prom Queen...

 Halloween season should be all about things that are a little darker and more macabre, but it seems like this season I've been a little more about dressing up and bright colours but nothing too scary as yet... I NEED to change that, maybe I'll start today while I'm feeling a little less like being around in public with other people... 
After all the pain in my girlie parts and the pouring of blood, plus there was a little re-release of a certain Hallo-queen's outfit, I finally felt inspired... 

There are so many Halloween gents that get a lot of attention at this time of year, but the ladies seem to be somewhat lacking in attention... There are various queens of Halloween but one of these is DEFINITEY Carrie... She was mocked and turned her prom into a blood bath, I'm admiring her tenacious spirit in finally standing up for herself...

Cave of Creeps and Crawly Things

I'm in a lot of pain after a trip to the docs today but luckily I had something a little creepy to make a girl's skin crawl... I needed some kind of distraction, and I think the creepiness of the bugs may just be the kind of place to do it... 

Some people are terrified of bugs, others love them. I'm not one of those that hates them but certain bugs give me the willies... WHY is that though? I've never really understood why people love things like butterflies and ladybirds but other bugs make them squirm and shiver...
