Fight for Love

Sometimes I feel like I could get into the Valentine's spirit, others I'm as far from interested as any person ever could be... I DON'T feel like being sweet, romantic or anywhere near Valentineish today... I wanna kick someone's butt, I wanna be angry and violent and I'm not even really sure why... So my aggression will start here... I hear there's been some trouble down at the Tunnel of Love... 

As I arrived at the Tunnel of Love - which happens to be a backdrop by blaink by the way - there was no one waiting in line, which should have been my first major red flag... Signs were placed to warn me to be cautious - and well this Boutique #187 Tainted Love sign really summed up my mood, it was so hard to choose a slogan - but armed with a old handmade axe, I wandered through the gates and came face to face with the Mmmmecha 9000 bots - from Krescendo at Hentai Fair - the fight was on...

Would you like fries with that?

It's the month of Love and even though I'm happily married with a grumpy old bugger as my RL - he's my SL too and someone I love more than I'll ever admit to - we're not the romantic type... Our date nights, which seem to be few and far between are never cute or sweet, they usuall involve us looking around weird museum exhibits or the zoo or at loud music events, and I'll never complain about that... I'll even happily share our engagement story which was a HUGE surprise and one he has to compete with any time he buys me a gift LOL... Yet I can't help feel like the romance may be missing at times... 

I guess I'm living my romance needs vicariously at the moment through the books I'm reading, although they are a little darker than your average romantic heroine needing to be rescued... 
At the Retro Diner, the waitresses like to assist with all things romantic, if and when they happen... Dressed in their Paris Uniforms - from littlefox and with a hat from hive all part of a set released in combination with the amazing Fast Food Set Tray from Junk Food - they will assist with anything that they can, including in this case a rather unusual Unconventional Proposals - like the one from Hangry - with the ring hidding in the Nuggets...

Magically Bird Brained

It is time... Finally it is time... I AM ON VACATION!!!! I have a few days in the Netherlands to get some stuff done but onWednesday I leave and I'm travelling to see my parents again... For now though I feel a little magical, though that could be the crazy busy day I've had and all of the cold medicine, but let's just go with the magic... 

There are still many magical beings in SL, visiting whilst the Midnight Order is still in town. It's here for a few days longer yet, but they are beginning to prepare for a trip to another time and place... 
The mistress of crows is waiting in the clock tower for the Glassed Crow - which grows within the mind of it's mistress and is actually a release from Tardfish - is getting excited... Some might call her bird brained, but when he's excited something magical is about to happen...

Love on the Pastel Promenade

It's the month of hearts, romance and valentines... Pretty, sweet, romantic things that make the heart flutter and those that love love, sparkle... I felt a need to do something pretty and pink and romantic and sparkly, it's not my favourite of the holidays and so I'm doing my best, even though I'm very much the Anti-Valentine right now... It's time for some hearts, romance and sparkly things... 

I wanted to create my own personal little cupid... One that looks sweet and innocent, a cute little replacement for the diapered baby, with someone a little more sweet and devious... A pretty little feathered angel, that's pale skinned and glittering hearts and dripping in pink... It's the perfect outfit to take a walk down the Pastel Promenade in the city of Love...

The Most Magical Library

Tomorrow is my day off... I'm going to spend it reading a book and avoiding being an adult for a while - if you can over look the fact that my reading material would not be considered anything but adult - and I want to head to that magical place where the books are more magical than this crazy life I'm stuck in... I dislike RL people so much at the moment... 

If you need book recommendations then I'm definitely an advocate for Goodreads, and if Goodreads was personified she'd be the most magical of librarians... 
In their library, she'd be surrounded by magic and flying books, and the entire library catalogue will be listed within her Dark Academy Computer - from random.Matter at Midnight Order - so that she can magic up any information to lead us to the smut we desire...

It's a 2007 kinda thing...

I had a weekend off, yesterday was the Hubby's Birthday so I had too much to do, and today I've been playing catch up on things around the house... I also played catch up with an old friend and went on a trip down memory lane... Things were said, my mind was blown, and now I feel like I'm heading back into my emo phase... I feel like it would be the right time to slip into the black parade and live my best emo life... 

In America, weren't they called Scene kids? I know we had them in the UK but I'm not sure I ever used that term, it was only Emos really... I never got into the style much myself, I was definitely part of the skater crowd and LOVED the music but I'd never have referred to myself as a Scene Kid... So I couldn't really resist my chance... 
I loved the vibe of the style, the bright colours and the different to modern posing although still as equally cheesy to witness someone doing in RL  kinda attitude that went with it... So Rudh decided to pose at the Night Bus Stop, dressed up in her best 2007Emotions Outfit - from CryBunBun - trying to look emotionally tortured... Those make the best kind of photos... 

What is she wearing;

In the fantasy world in my head, they are undergoing massve preparations for this month's holiday festivities... February is the month of love remember?! 

In the Cathedral Study - from ChiMia at Midnight Order - the officers in the Regency court - which is coincidentally the name of the outfit I'm wearing from The Forge - are preparing for the month of Romance. There is a lot to get done over the next two weeks in the run up to Cupid's day...

Rainbows, Sparkles and Happiness

It's one of those lovely lazy days when I have the day off between being stuck at work for the next couple of days... I'm busy getting things packed and ready for my trip home soon, and I'm super excited although I'll be away from my hubs for a couple of weeks. I AM GOING HOME FOR A REAL REST... Can you tell I'm excited and happy?!

I haven't felt this happy and excited about a trip home since last April when I had the concert of Take That and the most amazing seats we've ever been in for one of their shows... This time there is nothing much planned, besides a trip to see my Grandparents, and the chance to have the attention of my parents all to myself... It's a GOOD excitement... 
I feel like everything is sparkly, I'll miss Valentines but meh that holiday is a yuck one, and my hubby knows I love him anyway... He'll get a million Cream Eggs as a sign of love when I get home... For now though I'm counting down the days and enjoying that sparkly feeling I have... Rainbows and Sparkles and a boatload of happiness...

When a Wolf wants to Sleep

Tomorrow is my day off, I've been working today, and I'm counting down now until I get to go home and see my parents, but tomorrow is going to be a lazy Thursday, and I'm going to read and relax and SLEEP!! If I can pursauade my body to let me sleep without pain, if I can persuade my mind to switch off... I NEED to turn my head off and sleep... Maybe I need to start counting sheep... 

I've had many Better Days - although the pose is from -Extra- - and so now I'm ready for bed... I think I might sleep for the next 6 months of my life... Perhaps?! 
I have been reading and doing all kinds of things before bed to make sure I get a good night's sleep, and so tonight I might have to start counting sheep or something... For some reason when I think of this though my mind starts to wander, which doesn't help me sleep, and I start to wonder if a wolf was to count sheep would they be drooling as they do it? Would Grandma's bed in the Red Riding Hood story be a bit soggy if the Big Bad Wolf was counting to fall asleep in Grandma's bed?

A Monday Morning Meeting!

Monday morning, the start of the working week... It's time to get busy, but I HAVE JUST BOOKED ANOTHER TRIP TO SEE MY PARENTS AND I AM SO EXCITED... Sorry back to the working week, I work in retail but many people are heading back to the office and into their corportate lives... 
I'm glad that I don't have to, I have no desire to be in a boardroom hosting meetings that no one wants to be in...

The last time I did a presentation for anything was when I had to share the year plan for our store at the end of my management training course... At that time I felt so sick but that was mostly just nerves I guess... The people in the meeting knew SO MUCH more about things than I did, but that was kinda lucky really... I'd hate to be one of those people presenting a meeting to people that are scratching their heads or even taking the time to eat their lunch while I ramble on, just like the Opossums - from Aardvark at  that were so over it in Rudh's meeting today... 
All I can say is he'd better save me one of those Heart Sanwiches - from Junk Food - once I'm done with this meeting in this boring meeting in the Executive Loft - which is a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis by the way...

Bored Little Sun Goddess

I'm struggling a bit today, my back hurts and I'm tired and I think I have a little bit of the S.A.D that is so common at this time of year. I'm trying hard to carry on and hoping that everything will feel better when the sun comes out again but for now I'm hiding from the dark with a good book and a cuppa tea, and waiting for the Sun Goddess to make an appearance... 

The Sun Goddess seems to be getting a little bored at the moment... Maybe that's why the weather is so gray and dark... She's bored since these days there are a lot less human sacrifices to provide her with hearts for her fun. Things are no longer the same as the way they were when the Aztecs built shrines - like the one from DROT at The Warehouse Sale - dedicated to their goddesses, especially the Sun Goddess... 
She's taking her need for hearts into her own hands, collecting them herself to keep the glittering of her wings alive...

Bathtime for the OwlBears

I've been off work today because I have terrible pain running up and down my back. Any time I took a step it was like lightning ran down my right leg. Hubby was looking after me but I was able to take it easy and things are maybe getting better... I've put off doing my chores, I've put off doing anything besides relaxing and reading a book and taking a long hot shower... 

Rudh on the other hand had a few things to be getting on with... Chores to do around the house and tasks she'd offered to help with because they seemed far too cute not to... That was why she found herself in the Gothic Attic Skybox - a creation by LORE for Midnight Order - of the grand old wizard, to assist him on Owlbear wash day... The wash station was set-up on his Potions Station - which is a cute creation from ChiMia also for Midnight Order - and he had gathered his Owlbears - which are a release from Aardvark, also for Midnight Order - ready for their bath...

The Bots are DEAD

If you're watching a movie, what kind of movie are you partial to? I know that we all tend to have our favourites... I LOVE the LOTR, my go-to movies include things like the Sound of Music and the Princess Diaries, and I'm still a Disney fan. I recently saw the latest Insides Out 2 movie, and I have never connected with a Disney Character so much as when I saw Anxiety on the screen... My Hubby is partial to Star Wars and anything horror, but he will also choose a superhero action movie... 

I'm not a fan really... I mean I LOVED Aquaman but that's because it's Jason Momoa soaking wet. I really enjoyed the series of LOKI that was made, but then again that's possibl because it was the way Tom Hiddleston would flick his hair at random lol... I've seen many of the superhero movies, but they don't get me excited and I tend not to bother anymore... 
For some reason though, when I put on things and this outfit started coming to life it grew to become a Superhero that destroyed the evil bots decimating Primus City - a backdrop by The Bearded Guy... She hung around a few moments after the big fight scene while the Tiny Tech Bots - from Aardvark - came in to inspect the damage...

Smoke Break in the Alley

I have been wracking my brain, trying to think of new and different ways to relax... I read a LOT, I spend time taking pictures, I knit and crochet, and I have recently restarted my scrap booking journal again. I want something new, something interesting and I feel like I need to find something new... SOMEONE GIVE ME AN IDEA... SOMEONE GIVE ME SOMETHING FUN TO DO... 

If I don't find something to do, my mind can wander to dark and twisted places. I read some of the darkest, smuttiest works of fiction. The one I just finished will not be leaving my brain for a little while, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to enact them... I'm tempted in SL, but the hubby is far too vanilla for that lol... Maybe finding a Sugar Daddy?!

I'll sneak out the back of the club to have a momentary smoke break, hiding in the shadows, until I feel brave enough. I look fierce and ready to find someone to play with, but that makes me nervous, and a girl needs time to clam her nerves...

The Tickles of a Ghostmage

The doors have opened, and the Midnight Order is here to release their magic onto the SL world for just a little while. There has been a sudden surge in magic since the doors have opened... Anyone with even the slightest hint of magical aura is already aware of it's presence. It's not just the living spirits that are able to enjoy the feeling, the dead are riding and on their way too...

That magic wakes the dead with gently tickling of some Ghostmage Hands - available from Aii at the round of Midnight Order that runs from today until February 20th - over their bare skin. It gets the magic to awaken and sparkle through their bodies, shining lights through their Archmage tattoos - from Nefekalum also at Midnight Order - it's a wonderful feeling, and the Midnight Order is the cause...

Nomadic Desert Warrior

It's that time again, the magical beings of Second Life are heading in one direction, heading towards the ethereal meeting place that is the Midnight Order. Normally the Midnight Order is hidden in the dark mysts, only appearing a few times a year for the magical spirits to stock up on things for their potions, contact those they need and learn the secrets that are whispered in the shadows... Midnight Order is a place to meet, greet and learn, that's why they come from miles around... 

Each of the people heading for the Midnight Order is different, the mixture of characters and their origin stories is as mystical as the event itself... Hence why they come from across the distance to be there... From the snow regions, from the stars and even across the driest of deserts, stopping in the oasis for the night to be fresh for the doors of the Midnight Order to open on the morrow...

Feeding the Animals

My job is working in retail selling cheese. I don't hide it, I've shared it many times but I love my job and even though I vent about it often it's a place I feel happy and confident - most of the time anyway - and I don't see myself changing it for a while... 
I've discovered many new things about people though, watching the way they act when there is something as simple as a 'free sample' of food to taste... It's like they have never eaten before, free sample seems to be code for "take all you want because who cares if someone else doesn't get any" and don't even get me started about how people are more like animals around food... Circling like sharks, using their hands like monkeys, slapping their lips... I'd rather be feeding animals... 

Maybe I'll change my profession to animal feeder, since I tend to do it most days anyway... I'd like to feed something cute though, maybe in my own little fantasy world I'd feed dinosaurs in the Dino Park - like the old but awesome backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - driving in with a cooler full of delicious things for those big ol' baby lizards... I was sat feeding those adorable Apatosaurus and Triceratops babies, offering them both fresh leaves and a big ol' Meat Stick - from Junk Food - but I didnt realise that someone was sneaking up behind me heading for the meat...

A Different Kind of Snow Angel

I love being creative when I'm taking pictures... Today I found out that someone is running a 52 weeks of Aesthetics challenge, and I feel like that's something I might lend my hand at to try, due to my schedule I'm not sure it will happen within the 52 weeks but that's a discussion for another post. 
It did leave me wondering what is my own personal Aesthetic when it comes to my blog. I always felt llike a crazy mixed up mess of randomness, sometimes I'm a walking rainbow sparkle mess, other times I'm dark and deadly... More often than not I'm some kind of fairytale, magical, enchantment... 

I LOVE being a magical fairytale being... Fairies and Mermaids and Angels, anything that comes connected to magic and sparkles and with a story of it's own... 
This time of year, the frosty cold folk are the ones that become most predominant... The fae dance in the snow flurries, the mer shiver beneath the waves, and the angels freeze their tears to let them drift down to earth. I guess that I'd heard about a possible cold spell coming and my mind went to the possibility that the angels are blanketing parts of the Earth in snow as a way to bring peace... A little magic and peace would be a wonderful thing right now...

Do you ever put an outfit on, and find yourself disappearing into a mindspace that leads you to a totally different world... I had planned to get creative, I was going to aim to get multiple pictures done today but once I put on the first outfit I wanted to blog, I was lost to my own crazy mixed-up dreamlike version of Wonderland... 

What would my version of Wonderland be like? How would Rudhie in Wonderland differ from the world created by Lewis Carroll that Alice got lost in... My Second Life is a world made up of weird and wonderful things... Rainbow sparkles lead to dark, deadly corners, and crazy moments of magic, but would Wonderland be any different or just MUCH MORE of the same?! 
I think there would definitely be a tea party of sorts, one with lots of cake and plenty of hot tea to be drunk from pretty tea cups on mismatched saucers. There would be bunches of Monstrous Elegance - which is represented by the Monster's Feast and the Beastly Visions sets from Nylon Outfitters at Collabor88 - and some of my own cute furry friends with the Chesire Cat being replaced by a HUGE Fluffy Unicorn - from Tardfish - and of course I'd look FABULOUS in my own version of Wonderland... The idea is sparkling through my mind, and I know what I'll be dreaming of tonight...

Ready to Hustle

I've been having a lovely lazy Sunday, it's great when things are few and far between and I get to have a lazy day. I fed the washing machine, and then decided to get myself busy... I was going to get my hustle on, a chance to make a little cash and get into the action, while having myself some fun along the way... 

I'm gonna get my hustle on, I wanna go learn something new... I am going to learn all about the game of Pool so that I can become a pool shark... There's a brand new Pool Hall opened up in the Cocktails & Dreams Bar - a backdrop created by Synnergy.Tavis - but if you ook for the weird guy in the white t-shirt, he will teach you all the tricks of the trade for a cut of the profits... 
One thing he taught me was to look cute but casual, dressing up too much might make me seem like too much of a trickster, so cute but casual it is... Some simple but decorated Sweet Soul Jeans - which happen to be a new release from The Kiwi Co and although the release also includes a cardigan and boots, it's the pants that win the coo points from this reease for me - and a comfy but giving a cute reveal  of a little skin in the form of a Tuli Sweater - from miss chelsea - on top and I think I am ready to hustle in the pool hall and win the big bucks, or at least a drink or two...

A Magical Grim Gourmet

A new year is the perfect idea for a fresh start and that means it's a time to move on from things that aren't happy and that means getting rid of things that aren't good for us. I HATE the thought of hurting anyone but sometimes I've just gotta do what's best from me... This isn't aimed at ANYONE in particular, it's not aimed at anything... It's more of a reminder to help me get through things that make me sad... 
I found the perfect way to make me feel better, and getrid of the evidence all at once... 

During a bout of time within the Insomnia Kitchen, I found the perfect solution to any problem I NEEDED to get over. It came to me while I was cooking a chilli, as soon as I opened the spices in the spice rack, a cloud appaeared that started to sparkle and suddenly a magical MadCat - which happens to be an Exclusive available from MadPea at the MadPea Unlimited Sim where you can play 10 immersive adventures including the thrilling new crime adventure "The Naughty List Murders", and I may just see you there hehe - appeared... This MadCat began sharing dangerously devious, but equally practical ideas in ways to get rid of bodies... Soup and Pasta Sauce being the top of his list...It was going to be a very Grim Gourmet - thanks to the adorable outfit from everfaery I'd stay a little cleaner I hope - and I guess that it was lucky I'd been in a bit of a fight and someone had died in a chair right there in my kitchen...

My Own Roaring 1920s!

Sometimes I do a little random. Sometimes I do things that get lost of the realms of high fantasy. Sometimes I do things that are a litte more grounded in realism, although those things my be based on stories of their own too... No matter what I do it's always done with love and happiness and it makes me smile to do whatever I feel like... Today I went with a story from someone else's mind, and an event theme that was a little outside my usual ball park... 

Normally I feel more like I should avoid anything Art Deco, but when the Anthem line-up was announced to be Great Gatesby themed ca me intrigued. I more often than not vere towards designs that are more Art Nouveau, than Art Deco - they are easy to tell apart Art Nouveau looks like it's been made by the elves, Art Deco is more harsh lines and bold prints and looks more like it's been made by the dwarves - but this was interesting, and even though I'm not really a Great Gatesby fan, I kinda liked what I did!!! 
Come take a trip with me to the Voyeur Rooms - the keychain is older but still awesome from Krescendo - and grab yourself a glass of Champagne - from Junk Food - at the 1920's fanciest hotel...

A New Year of Magic

Still early days for the new year and still very early days for me beig back to blogging after the Christmas period...
I lost a sponsor today, someone that I have been working with since 2019. I feel like the reason was something that could have been told to me sooner, something that I would have been able to improve on, but apparently I wasn't worth the effort to them... So I'm going to find my own magic now, and move off to bigger and better things... Loyalty and consistancy mean nothing, people claim SL Blogging isn't a numbers game yet the magic seems lacking somewhat... I know my style isn't for everyone, I know I don't get the numbers that some people do, but I put all of my love and magic into my little art pieces... I love what I create... 

If people aren't appreciative of your magic, are they really worthy of your time? Granted my magical creations are all over the place and I will never be one of those bloggers that can just do a basic pose - there are thousands out there if that's what you want, and I'm not knocking anyone's creations when I say that by the way, we all have our own preferences - but I like to tell a story, create a little sparkle and if others enjoy what I do then that makes me happy... I create my pictures, my little magical sparkles, as a form of therapy... 
I'll stand in my tower, creating my magic and letting everything sparkle...

A New Year Starts... Welcome to 2025

So it has started, 2025 is finally here and this means that we are now a quarter of the way into the 2000s... It scares me to think that children born now could easily make it to see the next millennium in, do you think there will be a fear similar to the Y2K bug?! 
What will 2025 bring? What will happen to us this year both in our virtual and real-lives? Last time the year started on a WTF week, we witnessed a global pandemic that spanned three years. Now there is so much fighting going oncould we be on the cusp of another world war? 
Right now I'm getting over the New Year blues, and trying to get my year started, so let's get this show on the road shall we?

Even though the year is still sparkly and new, the lights are still flickering from the fireworks and sparklers and I've finally gotten home. I feel like I've barely stopped moving since we left for the UK after Christmas, we spent a lovely time with my family in Wales, but I AM SO HAPPY to be home... 
What will this year hold for me though? Do I need to fasten my seat belt or can I just gently ride into this new year without a hard hat and a seatbelt? I'm pensively looking forward to the year starting, I am already thinking about when I can go home again, and planning things to do that aren't really resolutions but are things I want to achieve... I finished the year tired but happy, today I'm starting the New Year happy and ready for whatever is thrown at me... I am waking up, I am ready, I can't wait to see where this year takes me, will you come along for the ride?
