I've always loved being a mermaid, I can't get enough of playing as mermaids or fae in Second Life but I've always been something sparkly and pretty... I've also always wanted to swim in a shark cage, it's something that's on my bucket list although people will often laugh at the suggestion especially family considering my reaction to the Jaws ride at Universal Studioes hehe... 
There's a new resident at Mermaid's Cove, where the ships are wrecked, bedecked in treasures that she finds dropped from the sinking ships you might find yourself bumping into one of the Shark Folk - which is actually a set of a new release from FOREST FANTASY STORE that wil be available from February 7th until the 28th at the upcoming round of Abnormality - but be careful her bite is worse than her bark...

Hoops of Rainbow Colours

When life is dark and somewhat monotonous, it is at that moment we must try our hardest to find the sparkle and bring some light to our own boring day-to-day routine... There are so many ways that I LOVE to relax, unwind and recharge my rainbow sparkles. I am very much back into reading these days - smut and violence dark romances I admit, but it still gets me feeling good - I am crocheting a blanket of old scraps of wool and when I do get into Second Life, I'm currently on a creative wave - athough I'm not sure how long it will last...

It feels easier to let Rudh find our inner sparkle as there's always another personality lurking somewhere beneath the surface... Neon comes pouring out of her today and once it glows, she sparkles... Colours of the briliantly bright surroundings lighting up her skin. Her black latex "Recover" bikini - an oldie but goody from Normandy - perfect to dance through the light, stretching her rainbow wings - from Doe - as she rolls her hips and to keep her Hoola Hoop - from Tardfish, which was available until today at the January round of Anthem, and which will hopefully find it's way to the mainstore soon...

Chains of Hell

I'm hiding in the darkness still, today has been a bit of a nightmare due to a bed situation and I'm NOT happy that I won't be getting to curl up in my brand new fancy bed... I'm not happy, I'm trying to keep my cool, and not drag people down to Hell for being both useless and patronising. I was so close to dragging them down to Hell and letting the demons have some fun... 

You can tell that I'm in a more than feisty mood, I'm feeling angry and want to punish someone for letting me down and disappointing me... 
I've stormed into the real world, leaving the door to hell somewhat ajar, dragging some of the chains of capitivity through with me. They rattle in an "Unchained Melody" - a pose set from piXit, available at the current round of Sabbath - a noise so scary that it will haunt those she's hunting...

Battle for the Midnight Order

Everyone has the power to be strong, everyone has the power to find their inner warrior and charge across the battlements to seek victory against their foes, be those foes people, worries or stresses... 
Today I've had a bit of a shit day, I've been trapped in anxiety attacks and wanting to run away, over the bridge to find a place to hide... I feel like I'm heading into a battle with myself... 

I'm going to find a way to get myself through this battle with as few scars as possible. My mental health may be scarred for a while, but I think that I'll just have to let that take it's time... 
Going to battle in Second Life seems like so much more of an adventure... The killer look in my Haunted Eyes - a creation that's part of a set from HELLBOURNE available at Midnight Order - warns those that stand in my way.

Hell Yeah! A Stripper Licence!!

It seems like th month of January has gone by fairly fast and the month of love and hearts is almost upon us. The month of February has become like December and October, it's been taken over by it's holiday... I'm not one that really gives much of a shit about Valentine's but cute litte hearts and the odd bit of romance is prettiful... 
Hearts aren't just for the romantic, hearts are cute enough that anyone can use them to spread the love any time... Even by those naughty girls in the naughty places... 

It's a Friday night, a perfect time for a party, and there should be nothing better than slipping into an amazing outfit - like the one from Mug, that is still available until February 10th at Kustom9 and comes as bodysuit and boa parts - picking yourself up a cold drink in an Iced Tumbler - like the drinks from Boutique #187 at N21, until February 11th - to get this party started... 
I've finished my day at work, but Rudh always leads a secret life, and for her work has just begun...

I'm also in charge at the moment since my boss has gone away for a few days. No-one had better mess things up this week... 
For tonight though I am going to escape, and maybe I'll blow things up and burn them to the ground... Or maybe I'll let Rudh do it, and perhaps in a more drama involved...

Soul in her Eyes!

I've had a few days off over the weekend, and we have been busy sprucing up our bed room so that when our new bed is delivered next week the whole bedroom will look lovely...
It has given me a chance to taken an introspective look at things and I've been getting into a bit of a depressed mood. I miss my family, I feel like I'm working too hard and I'm exhausted, and I want to be able to curl up and sleep a lot more than I've been able to lately. My brain hurts, I'm tired and I feel like my soul is far too heavy lately... 

Sorry if today things seem a little melancholy, I just feel a little meh and I guess it's something that I have to work through. My soul feels heavy. I'm exhausted and running on auto pilot, I want to sleep like the bears and hibernate for the next few months. I want to escape reality and find somewhere quiet that I can curl up with a book. I want to hide under a blanket and watch my favourite feel good movies, I could get lost in a Lord of the Rings marathon easily... 
Whatever is going on in my mind is causing the moths to flutter through me causing my anxiety to spike - and they decorate me as jewels on my rings, thanks to a new ring set from Violetility at N21, and a group gift from AsteroidBox - while the windows to my soul, my eyes are showing that my soul is screaming - thanks to a set of eyes from Samia...

It's not a special holiday, there's nothing happening in RL besides a bit of spring cleaning and some decorating at home, but if you listen carefully you can hear whispers in the wind, floating through the air of Second Life... 
The magical beings have heard the rumours, they are whispering them for the mere mortals as the time draws near... The Midnight Order is back in town, and the doors are about to fly open so the magical merchants can share their wonderful wares...

The Sugar Doughnut Bandit

Things on my blog have been a little bit food related recently, lol I guess I should stop blogging around dinner time. My mind is only drawn towards the food stuffs when I'm taking my pictures, though today I'll admit it's less dinner, more dessert. I want something sweet, I want something cakey, I want sweet cake and that could be DOUGHNUTS... Gotta love doughnuts... 

Tonight you can call me the Sugar Doughnut Bandit... I got arrested and dragged to a police station, funny to think of someone bringing doughnuts into a police station isnt it lol...

The "What's For Dinner" Game

It's that time of day again... The time of day when HellBone and I have to play the game of "what do you want for dinner?" This game can go on for HOURS, sometimes it starts in the morning when we're planning on things for the day ahead, but mostly though it starts around 4PM. 
The problem is that we're both FAR too relaxed and are usually happy to eat ANYTHING that is put in front of us, with the exception of mushrooms and celery for me and olives for him... 
I've often wished there was a magic way to make it easier, pulling the choice out of a hat or like lottery balls or something... Perhaps a spinning wheel like on a cheesy gameshow... 

Luckily thanks to Second Life I was able to make that dream come true... Krescendo had made a collection of Food Wheels with selections like takeout, snacks and even healthy options - a release that's available until January 21st at the Food Court - and since I've had a long hard day at school today, I think we'll be making use of the Takeout Wheel... 
So many yummy options, I could happily settle for all of the deliciousness... We cooked noodles yesterday, haven't had Sushi since HellBone got sick and he blames the sushi, don't have a great taco place around here and I'm not even sure I'd know a good one in the Netherlands, BUT I could happily eat anything on offer right now... Even looking at the set up of the "What's for Dinner?" game show is making me hungry...

Books and Cats, What more could I want?

This year I've been saying over and over again, that I want to read more. I've been following people I know on Facebook for their recommendations, I'm immersing myself in Booktok - the TikTok of books - and have joined GoodReads to set myself a reading goal and keep track of new releases, recommendations and the books that I HAVE read... I'll keep updating my lists and making sure I know the things I want to read... 

Rudh isn't much of a reader, preferring to spend her time taking pictures and shopping... Though recently she's found herself a collection of Banter Books, with titles like "100 Ways to eat Cock", "The Inconspicuous Guide to Perving Profiles" and "Unyielding Melancholy" - this collection can be grabbed from Aardvark at the current round of The Men's Department until January 31st - all of which will prove to no doubt be interesting reading material... She's saving the book called "101 Ways to Play with your Pussy", unti she's managed to find a way to wrangle the cats into one room in the hopes that they get along...

A Different Kind of Chuckie

I was talking to my sister earlier on today and we were reminiscing over things we loved from our childhood... Things like books, movies and television shows, talking silliness and remembering all different things that we could quote word for word... There were so many cartoons that I loved, I think that I am going to have to see about re-watching some of them again. Sesame Street when I was really little, and then loads of other cartoons came and went, but one show I loved so much was the Rugrats... 

I loved all of the characters, though I always had a firm favourite... Chuckie... I've often been heard telling my hubby that he has HIS Chucky and I have mine... Mine was a lot sweeter, a lot less agressive, and perhaps a little more like me with a case of anxiety that matches my own...
I found a costume - created by Rosary, who made a set of all of the characters not just Chuckie - and couldn't resist slipping into a character that matches my mood. Playing in a room of a house that looks remarkably like my parents home building with letter blocks and hanging around with my best friend teddy - who comes from kotte if you're interested - when I looked over to the Reptar Wagon - which is in fact the Cartoon Dino Wagon from Starries - someone is tempting me to go for a ride. I'm not allowed to drive the wagon without Tommy Pickles though, stop trying to lure me in Reptar... 

What is she wearing;
Hair: TRUTH - Athena
Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory

What's for Breakfast?

I am in the middle of having a few days off that were unplanned but welcomed and honestly I'm kinda happy to be lolling about at home. I haven't been out of my Pyjamas for a few days, and when I'm not doing things like cooking or sitting around playing with silly things on SL, I'm hiding in bed under a blanket as the weather has changed and it's FREEZING... 

Rudh decided to take a leaf out of my book today, she's booked herself into a into a getaway in Tofino - a Tofino Getaway Backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - for a luxury weekend of watching the snow fall out the window at the ski-lodge. Unfortunately they didn't tell me that the disco that they hold on the weekends could be heard through the window and so my peaceful night's sleep was less than restful... 
Waking in the morning, with a gorgeous man on a Wiggly Pillow - from Tardfish available at the mainstore - I adjusted my pyjamas to answer the door as they brought me breakfast in bed... They said it was provided free with the room. You'd think that a fancy hotel would lay on something delicious, breakfast turned out to be Peanut Btter Puffs cereal and milk, which is just Junk Food really, and two different coffees, one hot one cold, served in to go cups on a little wooden tray... Not what I'd expected, tasted yum, but perhaps it's the reason for my tired grumpy mood and the reason that today "I'm a Happy Ray of Fucking Sunshine".

OI, Where's My Cake?!

It's still very early into the new year and people I know are still working on their New Year's Resolutions. I never actually made any for myself, although I DID have some plans to do things that made me happy and so far I am managing to enjoy the things I planned. I listen to all of the crazy goals and plans that friends in both RL and SL have, and a lot of people are focusing on losing weight and exercise... I admit that when I'm running around at work, lifting heavy weight and constantly on my feet, exercise is the last thing on my mind... Though Rudh figured that she'd give things a little bit of a go... YOGA... 

She went all in this time, never doing things by halves, and after spending a fortune on setting up a work out space for her at home, filling it with exercise balls, dumbells and yoga mats - from collections by dust bunny, lmndrp and CHEZ MOI... She's dressed herself in a suitably sporty but still more than a little cute, in some leggings from Mug and a top from Palette, and she's ready to go... 
Never one for wanting to work out on her own, she invited a group of fluffy friends over to come and join in the workout party... They are all a group of Little Fit Bunnies - a release from Aardvark at the current sporty round of Anthem until January 27th - and while we were all trying to work out, bending into uncomfortable positions as she attempted to do some yoga poses... It was all going so well until one of those cheeky little bunnies said sod it to exercise, and went in search of the most delicious Sweet Winter Black Forest Cake - from vespertine - covered in chocolate and cream and a little cherry on top... Now I want that, exercise can wait...

Crystal Fae Make Fireworks...

First time this year I've had a chance to sit back and work on something pretty and fantastical and sparkly... 
I'm reminded me of the fireworks that had lit the sky as pretty sparkles, crystals of chemicals that create the colourful sparks... I don't mind fireworks IF they are far enough away that I cannot hear them... 
I wondered what magical being would be involved with the sparkles, that is until I met her under the microscope on the tip of a rocket... 

The Crystal Fire Fae is a dangerous little being, one of the more risky of the fae folk... She has a temper and will spark into a rage whenever she felt like it. She has sparks, she guards the chemicals that will be lighting the sky and waiting for the exact moment that the light will wow the people watching below... 
On a backdrop of Sodalsia - a backdrop from The Bearded Guy - the floating Crystal glows surrounded by it's firey counterparts, the skeletons of fae that have tried to take control magically murdered and the crystalisation occurs... 
The crystals protector radiates a red glow - the Crystal Fairy look comes in multiple colours from Forest Fantasy Store, available now until January 20th at Winter's Hollow - while crystals in other colours dance around her ready to assist her with the explosion that is to come...

Plans to Travel

Along with other things that I want to do with myself this year, I've decided that I need to do myself a favour and get off the platform I hermit on and explore more of Second Life. I like a lot of bloggers and designers - and lots of other people out there - seem to spend more than my fair share of time hiding on a platform taking pictures and only venture out to pick up things in sales and events... This year I plan on making a big effort to get myself out and about and explore new places... It's time to pack my bags and go exploring... 

I got myself all glammed up, in the earliest days of flying things were considered prestige and privilege, drinking champagne and rather dressing for comfort, dressing for chic glamour... 
I'm going to head out on a private plane that I'll board at the Synnergy.Tavis Aircraft Hanger - which is a backdrop available at the mainstore - with my case and a hat to protectme from any sunshine. I'll pull a cardigan over my shoulders - from C'est La Vie - to keep me warm, but not to cover the super chic Chisa Tube Top - an older release now from everfaery - so that I can feel glam like the flight passengers of the past... 
Now I'm going to explore, I'm going to seek out some of the amazing new and wonderful places that are shown on Flickr, Facebook and in the Destination Guide... Postcards will be sent hehe...

Cake Baking and Plan Making

Welcome to 2024 and a very Happy New Year to all my darling friends, followers and even those that may read my blog just to be a bit stalkerish - I'm laughing as I write that because I'm definitely not cool enough for anyone to want to stalk me lol... Last night was a bit crap for me and my family, my poor little puppy is terrifed of fireworks and the NL seems bonkers about them... Today has been a very leisurely, lazy one. A chance to sit back, fill in my new diary and make some plans for the year ahead...

It's also time for me to have a think back about last year and so the first post of the year tends to get a little deep sometimes... 
The past year has been another rollercoaster of a year. I stepped up in my RL work and got myself a promotion to assistant manager, it's been a busy time learning all the behind the scenes stuff but definitely got me out of a rut that I was stuck in. Hubby spent the last few weeks of the year at home sick and is waiting for an operation to have his gall bladder removed. I am missing my family in the UK, especially since they spent Christmas together, but troubles that have affected the family have somewhat subsided and things are ooking up... I guess all things considered, things are positive for me and my family... 
Now to look forward and I'm going to do so with a little trepidation... I don't want to risk jinxing myself or causing the things I want to go wrong... 
I'll be graduating the cheesy academy in June - a special time this year since it's the companies 50th year and I'll be in the class of that special year... 
I've decided to make changes in my RL that see me focusing more on myself and aiming for some 'Me' time. It guess it's kinda like a New Years Resolution, although I won't be calling it that since resolutions are so easily broken. I want to read more, I've started a challenge on Goodreads with a goal of 45! I wonder if I'm being too overly ambitious... I want to do more things like baking or cooking and testing new recipies. I want to drive more, since I've become terribly bad at it and I'm much more willing to be the passenger since Hell likes to drive. I want to get better at knitting, I'll aim to knit a blanket, maybe something with granny squares like Grandma used to knit... I want to improve my Second Life picture taking skills and work on my skills as a blogger and photographer and maybe if I'm lucky try to get myself some new sponsors - if anyone is out there and looking for bloggers lol... 
OH AND this year is my 10 year wedding anniversary with HellBone... 
So much going on, let's see how far we get with these things... Happy New Year, welcome to 2024!
