Packed and Ready to Go!!!

OK it's here, today will be the last post I make before I say farewell and get overly excited...

I'm packed and ready to go, everything is ready and waiting and it's just ONE MORE SLEEP!!! 

I mean I will be heading to the UK but I'm definitely going to be a passenger princess... HellBone drives, and I sit... The ferry captain and his crew drive, and I sleep in a comfy bed with my own private toilet in a cabin onboard... Then HellBone drives across the UK to my Mummy and Daddy's while I sit... 
I've made sure that everything is packed, I'm wearing something comfy - which happens to be the miss chelsea Mina Set that is available now until August 6th at Equal10 - I've got the passports AND I've packed a Summer Picnic Basket - from Junk Food - with lots of snacks... I CANNOT WAIT!!!

The Sacred Lotus!

I've been all over the place with my blogging lately, in fact I'll admit that I've been all over the place in general lately. I don't know what is causing it but I do know that normally feel much better when I've arrived on UK soil. HellBone always laughs at me as I roll down the window in the car, and breathe in the English air...
I can feel being back at my roots coming closer and closer... It's like magic... Bubbling under the surface, getting closer and closer... 

I have to let that magic come out, I have to let myself feel the magic so that my holiday becomes a good time and a chance to rest and mentally prepare to get back to reality once I have to come home again... The Netherlands is lovely, but for me it's STILL not home... 
I'm going to let the magical fae take over and bring my mind to a happy place. I'm going to open the cage and let the worries slip away like butterflies that are flying to kiss the magical Sacred Lotus...

Pool Time Fun!

It's getting hot again!! The temperature is rising just as I've got to start cleaning my house to make sure everything is ready to go home... WHY DO THE GODS HATE ME?!
All I want to to do is find a way to cool down, I want to shower every five minutes and swim somewhere cool and preferably shady... I wish I had a pool!!!

I'm not sure if Rudh is chilling in her rubber ring, or if she's making a terrible cannonball bomb into the pool and is about to get herself stuck in a rubber ring she's landing on... 
You can see that her fishy buddies are experiencing her arrival with different reactions... The Bubble Buddies, such cute little fishies - from Krescendo - are watching on with a little concern, but it's the Chompy Sharks - from Snuggle&Co, still available until July 13th at Summerfest - that seem to be enjoying it...

Hiding away to make plans...

Today is the start of my holiday and even though Thursdays are my usual day off, I don't actually feel like I'm on vacation yet. There is so much cleaning and sorting and organizing to do, not to mention makin sure I give my cat tonnes and tonnes of attention before I disappear... Plus the hubby is a bit OCD when it comes to planning so we have lists upon lists and other things to do that he knows and I haven't yet been informed of... It's getting like an secret military mission... I just wanna go home... 

Since it's like a military planning situation right now I'm working out how to hack the system... 
I've been looking at the screens, checking the charts and hiding in the Bunker - which happens to be a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - using only the Vertex Lamps and my Gaming Peripherals - both of which are from Krescendo, although the former is Mancave and the latter available for the MadPea PLAYXPO - and if that doesn't work I have NOT ONE but TWO secret weapons... Firstly my buddy Squiddy - from Tardfish - is an expert gamer and he can get his mind around anything, and secondly, if all else fails I have a set of earrings that will help me. They are made so you can Ctrl Yourself - a pair of earrings from Six Feet Under, which even though they aren't overly large in the picture above, I have added the store ad below for more clarity - with little keyboards that can take control over everything...

Gittering at the Roller Disco

I need some happy, I want to let my hair down and dance, and although all I'm listening to at the moment seems to be Black Sabbath, I feel like it brings me to tears every now and again... 
I might have to switch it up and listen to something a bit more cheesy pop as I head into my last day of work... Tomorrow I have one more work shift then I am on holiday for a couple of weeks YAY... 

I feel like I want to go back into my past and one of those crazy fun Saturday nights that we used to go to at the youth rollerskating rink... It was nothing special as they just turned a sports hall into the rink by adding a DJ booth at one end and spent a few hours playing cheesy pop music... 
I feel like that's what I need right now, it's definitely feeling like that wil help me get through the next few days before I go home...

Raise Hell Baby!

I've been in doubts whether to talk about this but I'm feeling emotional since seeing Ozzy Osbourne, and Black Sabbath's final concert on TV the other day. It's all over social media if you haven't seen it and it looks like the best concert ever... I wish I'd been able to be there... It looked like such a happy event, even though there was the saddest of undertones that it was the last ever time we will see Ozzy perform... 
It's woken up the darkness in me... The Prince of Darkness may be retiring but his legacy will forever live on... 

The dark little fallen angel in me had a tear in her eye on waking today and seeing a the amazing clips all over the internet... Seeing the Prince of Darkness on his elaborate throne, he seemed to be loving life although wishing he could jump around and rule the stage like he once had... 
I'm dressed and ready for a litte fun now that I've woken from my slumber, I've primped my wings, pulled on a party hat and grabbed a flask full of something naughty... Now that the Prince of Darkness has retired I think it'stime we raise a little hell...

A Hangry Panda!

What do you do when you cannot plan on what you want to do for dinner? I torture myself every night with this question, and I KNOW it's hard when you are on your own but it feels just as hard when your partner says "I don't know, surprise me?" That answer makes me want to slap him... 
Try as hard as I might to be good and plan to cook something, or get the hubby to cook something since he seems to enjoy cooking, sometimes I cannot be arsed, and pull up the delivery app... Pizza, Ribs, Curry, Sushi, all of those things are delicious, but a Chinese meal seems to hit different...

I mean I LOVE SUSHI or a Curry, but noodles always seem to hit better when they are cooked at the take-away... Things are different here in Holland than they are in the UK, and when I go home next week I am hoping I'll get my hands on some sweet and sour chicken balls LOL, but until then I'm biding my time and just dreaming of Chinese food...

Chained Not Tied!

I am often influenced by the things going on around me... So far I've been to a Caribbean Beach because of a tv show I'm watching, and I've had lasagne because my hubby likes to cook it, but today is a little different from my normal picture wise... It's been a LONG TIME since I did something really kinky, but I guess the things that I read have filtered through my picture taking decision making, and I ended up doing something saucy... 

I've been reading a LOT of smut over the past year or so and some of it definitely sticks with me more than others... I've been collecting an array of book boyfriends, I've unlocked some new kinks that I've never even thought would cross my radar, and I've dived in to a lot of different plots. I love a grumpy/sunshine, I love aa forced proximity, and stalking masked men make me weak - of course I'd probably have a heart attack if it happened in RL lol because I am a wuss - but even though they haven't been my favourites some of these stories have stuck in the back of my mind... Still Beating by Jennifer Hartmann is one of those stories about a girl and her sister's fiance trapped in a basement and forced into a horrible situation. That's been in my mind, it happened because I was trying to come up with a way to show off the amazing Chained Obsession - from Six Feet Under, available now at Kinky - and I think it turned out pretty much still beating hehe...

Summer Beach Work

I work in retail in RL, I'm sure you may have seen me say that once or twice... I'm currently watching a British TV series called "Death in Paradise" and I think that at the moment these things are coming together in my mind so that I ended up on a paradise beach selling fruits... It sounds like a perfect place to be right now... 

Death in Paradise is set in the Caribbean, filmed in Guadaloupe although the island in the stories is imaginary... 
Now if I was relaxed enough to be chilling on the beach, playing or perhaps just making noise on my Ukulele - a release from Junk Food, available until July 17th at Anthology - I don't think I'd be looking as comfortable as I am... Sitting around at my Seabreeze Fruit Shack - a release from Dust Bunny for this year's Summerfest event - I think I'm likely to be more than a little sunburnt!!!

A Fat Cat's Love of Lasagne

I'm a food loving kind girl and I'm not afraid to admit it. I've thought about a gastric band in the past, but then I realise that food becomes a limited thing, and I'm put off... I'd rather stay fluffy lol... I am the kinda girl with more rolls than the local supermarket, and I'm nt shy about it... Who cares what anyone else thinks of me right?
I love all kinds of food, and depending on my mood on any given day I can and will eat all sorts of things... Pasta has always been a favourite though, in fact I kinda connect with a certain cartoon cat when it comes to a pasta dish... 

For those of you that have no idea about the cartoon cat, I'm thinking of Garfield... 
I LOVE Sushi, Pizza, Fried Chicken and Burgers. I LOVE Salads, although I'm not really a fan of dressing and prefer it with croutons rather than sauce. A juicy steak, something with lots of veggies, and don't even get me started on how good potatoes are in all of their forms LOL... 
Yet today I had a craving, similar to that of the big, fat, orange cat, I woke up craving lasagna and my hubby being the brilliant lasange chef he is, he made just what I needed... My inner fat cat was over joyed!!!

The Stance of a Gladiator

The heat is on and I'm going into battle to fight the monsters that are too hot, too sweaty and too drowsy... There are so many things wrong with being in temperatures this hot, especially since the home I have has no way of cooling off, and all of the heat is trapped inside... 
I'm going to fight... Im going to dive in and handle the heat in the same fighting spirit as the Roman Gladiators... 

I never really found the interest in Roman Archaeology when I was studying Archaeology at university and in fact any time since. My reason is that we know SO MUCH about them, they left written accounts of their daily life so there is little room for speculation, unlike the Dark Ages... 
The Gladiators knew how to fight though, many were not military trained, and perhaps that was the key to their popularity. They were able to fight in ways that most people couldn't... They were made to kick ass, and the best were like the footballers of today...

Time for a Sunday Sundae!

It's Sunday, a very lazy Sunday because it's a very HOT Sunday... I've seen people laughing about how people in England complain about the heat, well I'd like to point out that since our homes don't tend to be built to let warmth out but keep it in instead. I admit I HATE hot weather and am looking forward to when it starts to cool down again, but until then and since it's lazy hot Sunday, I think it's time we tried to cool off with a Sundae?!!

I have to be quick with this post since I dont want most of the Ice Cream to melt, the only melted Ice Cream should be that which is used in the making of some fancy Retro Milkshakes - like the ones in the set with the machine from BROKEN ARROWS - whilst the rest of the Ice Cream is used to make some Classic Banana Splits - like the one from Hangry. We have So many delicious toppings, with fruit and chocolate, syrup and whipped cream... 
Seems like our puppy friend couldn't wait though LOL...

A Different Tale

It's a tale as old as time, but recently I have been loving reading the Smut that is actually based on the fairytales that I grew up loving and still love but now perhaps with a twist of something dark and kinky... 
I am just about to start reading one about Goldilocks, but I've loved them about Peter Pan, the Little Mermaid, Aladdin and others, but this will be the first about Goldilocks and her three bears... Another theme that I love happens to be Beauty and the Beast based stories... A twist on the tale as old as time... 

I love the stories with a twist... The darker the twist, the better I feel and I LOVE it when the female main character is the villain... Maybe I should start writing my own so that I can apply my desires to one tale... LOL or maybe I should just stick to reading them... 
This tale as old as time has a big twist... Our beast becomes human but not before the tale is flipped, with his belle of the ball becoming a scarred beast of the tale. Bitten and clawed by the beast to marr her beauty and let the magic of the rose be her curse... He is her obsession, she see that in his hand held mirror - from Krescendo - while the magic sparkles between her and the rose...

The Adventures of a Sky Pirate

For the last few days, the hubby and I have been re-watching the Pirates of the Caribbean. It's a bloody good series, with lots of moments of humour, romance and general silliness that I'd kind of forgotten about. Since there are 5 now things seem to blur into each other and I will admit I was wondering where each of the movies fitted together... What can I say? I LOVE them, I love Jack Sparrow and will say he's got to be one of my favourite movie characters of all time... I guess that it has influenced me... 

I think the Caribbean would be way too hot for me but I could be the kind of pirate in some fantasy steam-punkish novel... One in search of treasure or adventure or something that could be entertaining to pass the time... I'd have to be a bit of a fancy dressed up pirate, modern yet stylish and armed with some pretty weapons...

Laundry Days Can Be Good Days!

Today is the last day that I will be home as the hubby's nurse, even though he is not healed and is still in a lot of pain I have only been able to have a week off to look after him and therefore... It's time to get ready for work again... I have a few things to get done around the house, but the one job that seems to be never ending is laundry... I have a mountain of laundry but it's one of those things you need a washing machine for, and since my washing machine had other ideas... 

The ball bearings are loose in my washing machine, luckily last month I had my holiday money and that means I have a little flexibility and only need to wait now for the delivery of my new washing machine. 
Until then I'm spending my evening in the local laundrette... There's no one here, it's too warm and most people around here have laundry facilities at home, so I'm here alone... I'm bored, and I think I'm going to be a little rebel and see just how good the vibrations of a drier can feel... 
The aftermath of the feeling is that it's the perfect time to ignore the signs and have a cheeky cigarette, I just hope it was as good for the machine as it was for me...

A Drink in the Moonlight

It is insanely hot here in the Netherlands and our homes are DEFINITELY meant to hold the heat rather than release it... It's one of the reasons that Summer and I do not get on LOL... This timeof year I find myself wishing I could be more of a night owl or perhaps a Vampire... I've been around the hospital too much lol wanting to be in the night and suddenly reminded of the smell of blood... 

I know that Vampires are often portrayed as the monsters, but in this day and age that should be altered in my mind. People are just as bad if not worse, and they come with a lot less grace... I love things that are Vamp based, Twilight aside because that was just silly nonsense I mean he sparkled and they gave birth to a demon-like baby... I'm still mourning the finale of What we do in the shadows, and love the glamour that often comes with a lady of the dark... 
I think now days we have enough blood banks, we should learn to share what extra we have with the Vamps and then leave them to dance through the shadows and the moonlight...

Protecting the Magic Eggs

Everything needs a little magic to make it seem like a better feeling... When days are as hot as this it feels like the sun has started blowing more heat our way like a dragon that's pissed off protecting his treasure from those that would try to steal it... The female dragons are too busy protecting their scared sanctums that guard their eggs... 

The Dragons eggs are collected by the Celtic Druidesses, and they are floated within the Wishing Fountain - backdrop by K&S - of the inner sanctum... It is a place of magic, protection, and safety... The ladies protect the eggs in the fountain while th dragonesses protect the celtic magic...

I ain't afraid of no Ghosts...

So yesterday I was thinking a lot about Wonderland, I cannot tell you really what sparked that thought pattern but last night to distract the hubby we watched Pirates of the Caribbean and tonight it's movie night again... I'm not that much of movie buff - Lord of the Rings excluded, I could talk about that all day - but there are times when the right movie can be a good thing... They set the mood, they like my blog can take me away to another place and they bring stories to life that many may never think of... 
Now I'm going to show my age here, I'm a child of the 80s and proud of it, but do you remember when 3D movies first became a thing?! It was an insane experience... 

The first time I saw a 3D movie it was a shock... I think the first time I saw a 3D movie was the Muppets 3d in Disneyland, and I can honestly say as much as the film was fun it set my motion sickness off something terrible and I was more than a little put off from seeing things in 3D again... 
It was crazy to me how a movie brought someone's imagination to life in moving pictures but also that those moving pictures could leave a screen and be right up in your face like they could touch you... It was a bizarre feeling, one that still makes me surprised to this day... Even though now days it's less abnormal andif you try and tell youngans about it they look at you iek you have two heads, with stories of different coloured glasses!!! 
Anyway it's movie time... HellBone plans to scare me a little with a few Ghostbusters...

Do you play Croquet?

Things are crazy in my household at the moment. My pain in the butt, whom I love muchly, hubby was operated on yesterday and though he's home he is in a lot of pain. I've been allowed to take a few days off so that I can look after him which so far has been fairly OK... He is a little high on the good kind of drugs, but it's me that seems to be stuck in my own tiring little Wonderland, I'm running around all over the place doing things for him... I finally managed to get a little time to rest and so I ended up finding a Wonderland that was a little less stressful... 

What to do while I'm here to relax? Anyone fancy a game of croquet? I always used to love the idea of the flamingo croquet that Alice played with the Queen of Hearts in the Disney version... I wanted to play with the croquet mallets so badly because they looked like heaps of fun... So in the gardens of Wonderland I'm going to ask, DO YOU PLAY CROQUET?!

A lot more Pride, a lot less Prejudice!

Love is love and that's all that matters, or at least it should be... With everything going on in the world right now, from wars that are on going or scarily close to starting, and wannabe kings holding parades that resemble celebrations held for monarchs of distant lands, and even closer to home with people striking for more money and causing masses of chaos for everyone else... It feels so much more important to celebrate love for those who have always faced stigmatism, because we should all be allowed to love, and it might make the world a better place... 

Pride in Amsterdam comes a little later in the year but right now other places are celebrating Pride... I'm always willing to celebrate love, and I KNOW that it's easier said than some people agree to but I want to send huge hugs to everyone... I guess these days I'd consider myself an Ally more than any other letter in the LGBTQ+ range, testing the water at university and my early 20s doesn't really count but I do firmly believe that love is love. It shouldn't be up to any one person to say who another can or cannot love - unless there is a lack of consent or confusion from an involved party and illegal things are happening of course... Like the sign says, I can't believe we're still protesting this shit... It's 2025, let people be who they want, let people live as they want... 
Pride at Home is happening, as are many other Pride events, right now and I want to take a moment to reach out. The world needs more Pride, less Prejudice, I mean isn't there enough crazy shit going on in the world that people also want to control who others love too?!

An Egyptian Goddess, Wadjet!

I woke up this morning feeling too hot and bothered, it was too early to get out of bed but I couldn't bare the thought of just laying there and stewing in my own headachy blahness... It lead to me being weirdly creative... 
It lead to my mind disappearing to a faraway land and a time long ago, and where the magic of the old gods could be felt within the desert sands walls... To a Bright and Magical Luxor Night... 

We know so much of the magic that went along with the stories of the Egyptian Gods but there are some that are more famous than others. Whilst on our trip together today, we have come across the beautiful goddess Wadjet - although this is more like my Monster High kinda version probably - who was revered as a protector of kings of the ower kingdom... She and her cobra head were seen as a symbol of protection and sovereignty, apparently...
Our Monster High styled version of Wadjet, seems a little more disgruntled at yet more statues of the senior gods, where the heck was the new one she'd been promised... She's a Naga Vaelric - a release from BeSpoke that can still be grabbed today at the Vintage Fair but it closes on the 16th so maybe you'll have to head to the mainstore - and she deserves to have EgyptianTales told...

A Day on the Beach!

The Summer has officially seemed to arrive in the Netherlands over the past few days... I'm not a fan of the Summer, especially here... When you're on holiday and it's a warm, dry heat then it feels wonderful on your skin, but here in the Netherlands it's HUMID and becomes like a sweat box the moment you walk out the door... I hate it when it seems to get trapped inside the house... I NEED to get out and find somewhere to breathe... 

I love being out in Nature, I LOVE the cooling breeze and the feeling of natural sunlight, although like a vampire I tend to keep to the shadows the vast majority of the time... I wouldn't mind being on the beach right now though. I would love to spend the day darting in and out of the waves, playing with a bucket and spade o build sandcastles or use them for holding onto other things - like the one Rudh has full of drinks like the Beach Drinker bucket, available now from Dots at Kustom9, or the Castle Toy Bucket, from Krescendo currently available at the Amsterdam Event - while I hide in the shade...

The Future Of Self-Preservation!

Do you ever stop and think about the future? I am not the kinda girl that enjoys any form of Science Fiction, be that in movies or books, but the hubby really loves Star Wars... I think back to pictures of history that we've seen where they say in 2025 we'd be driving flying cars, and Back to the Future had so many gadgets that would be handy but are non-existant... I wonder will humans look different, they already warn about changes caused by technological influences like smart phones... But wouldn't it be better to be something more interesting... 

I'd like to think that we mutate into something a little cooler... Adding some Cyborg parts to make sure the human body runs smoothly, but like I've said they talk about Smart Phone hands and App watching neck with a hump since we spend so long looking down at phones and tablets, but I was hopeing maybe for more eyes or something so that I can see better and don't have to wear glasses any more. I know I could wear contacts but I cannot stick my fingers in my eyes... 
As for protection though, I'd stick with the old school methods... Like they say, if it aint broke, don't fix it...

Calm in the Battleground Camp

I've been on cloud nine today, HellBone decided to cave in and bought himself and I new computers. It was something we needed to purchase so that we could keep up with the Second Life changes...It's like logging in on a machine that took me into another universe altogether... 
The warzone in my mind between the amount of money that it cost, became a losing battle to the way that the upgrade DEFINITELY seemed so needed... 

The ghosts and zombies of my old PC set-up stil linger in the back of my mind as I spend my time learning how to use the super fast monster machine that I have now... I'm just dealing with making it pretty, letting the hubby install all the right things and hoping that it will last me a LONG time now... I'm learning to use my new friend in the midst of the battle of my old one being sent to PC part heaven... I mean it's not hard, I'm mostly sitting back, to let the aftermath go on around me...

Do you like Scary Movies?

On days off I tend to love reading and taking pretty pictures in SL, I'm sure you've guessed all that by now, but my hubby is definitely MUCH more of a movie freak... I am not particularly a movie watcher. I have my firm favourites, I will get lost in my mind any time I watch the LOTR and Princess Diaries is my go-to make me feel better kind of movie... HellBone loves all different kinds of movies, Horror being his go-to... 

Watching movies these days is NOTHING like it used to be when I was in my teens or even early 20s. When I was a kid or even a teen, I remember nights when Mum and Dad said we could rent a video to watch from the local video shop. We didn't have a Blockbuster, but there was a local family owned video shop - a bit like the backdrop from blaink - but by the time DVDs were becoming a thing, the shop was beginning to close it's doors... 
I am NOT  a scary movie fan though, HellBone loves them and likes to terrorise me, making me watch them sometimes... Last time I jumped so much during a scary scene that I spilled my drink and dropped my dinner... Rudh got so scared in the video store today that she threw one of the slices of pizza that she'd stolen from the clerk on the desk...

A Different Kind Of Magic!

Once again I've had a long day of chaos with my daily job and the fact that Holland has no trains running meaning the busses were full and people were having issues... I'm home from work now and needing a little magic to make things feel better...

Magic can be found in many places, and caused by many things... There are many things that people would consider magic and if you asked a collection of people, they may all surprise you by saying things that are different... 
One thing that seems like magic at the moment is that Hair Fair 2025 is now happening, and runs until June 15th... This charity event has changed a lot over the years but the magical part is that every year thousands of dollars are raised to assist in the creation of Wigs for Kids that are very much in need... The smiles on their faces is a little magic the world could use right now... 
The little fae was super excited in the gardens today as her and her Hair Brownie - which is a creation from Tardfish, available at the Hair Fair - were playing in the flowers and she found herself a new wand of the magic kind... It won't do much to tame her wild "Svetik Hair" - from monso, also at the Hair Fair - but the cutie Curling Iron is definitely magic!!!
