Backstage with the Band

I am a child born in the 80s, and raised in the 90s. I was a fan of one of the UK's first - and if I may say so best boybands Take That - and although I was a fan of them I also fell hard for one of the most important grunge boys to ever hit the music scene. My early teenage years would have been NOTHING with Mr Kurt Cobain... On one hand there was Mark Owen, the other was Kurt... I was a cheesy pop, grunge diva kinda girl... I was the kinda girl at school hung out with the skateboarding boys, wearing a hoody and plenty of eyeliner... Listening to the angsty kinda music that drove my Dad bonkers... 

I had a teenage crush on Kurt Cobain for so long and was mortified by his death... I had a jealousy toward Courtney Love, purely because she was his other half, although I LOVED listening to her band Hole... 
Rudh got all excited when she heard that there was a Shotgun Pop-Up event with a Grunge theme... Her and her mates had already decided to try and get a gig with their grunge band, the Free Candy, and rocked up to their first show with an old truck - a truck from Bad Unicorn - loaded with gear... Dressed in an outfit that pays homage to Miss Love's style back in the 90s - thanks to an amazing release from miss chelsea for the Shotgun Pop-Up Event - she's ready to rock out and find her own Nirvana...

Out Driving in Hollywood

I think I want to escape... I want to run away somewhere that's not home, where the people aren't annoying customers or crazy builders... Both of these types of people are annoying me right now, and I can't escape them, I go to work they are there, I come home and they are here lol... I WANT TO ESCAPE! I might run away on an adventure... 

Maybe I'll go to the woods, maybe I'll go to the beach, ooooh or maybe I'll go somewhere the lights glitter and the people are fabulous... Hollywood calls - thanks to a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - so I'm going to dress myself so I'm movie star ready and jump into the passenger seat of my car, The Good Part - a pose set from Fashiowl - starts now...

An Evening in the City

 After a busy day at work, I have to say that heading home is always a great feeling... I have to say that closing the shop and heading out into the dark streets of Amsterdam can feel a little scary sometimes, but the lights and the sounds and all the people still milling around having a lovely evening can be a little exciting... 
Walking through the streets, it made me think of my latest look of the day and the fact that it would be perfect to wander through certain streets in the city I call home... 

It's definitely onf of those blog posts today that's about a Look of the Day more than anything that is a floght of my imagination... I've been wearing this outfit for a few days and I love it, but after I've done wearing it for a few days I have to get out, take a picture and move on to something new LOL... 
It started with a 1313 Mockingbird Lane Norma Jean Bikini - that yes I'm wearin just the top of - and added an adorable skirt from Psycho Barbie, finishing it off with some duckie Hitched Stockings and a Gabriel One-Shoulder Riders Jacket... 
Just to show things off, I decided to make sure that I added a little close-up and the ads to show just how cute my jewellery is... Look at this adorable Belial Bindi from Six Feet Under and this cute Barbed Wire Choker from Boutique #187...

Being a little Punk

 LAZY WEEKEND!!! The weather here is yucky, so I'm doing the smart thing and staying indoors, but I'm also finding myself wondering how it can feel more like February than May weather right now... I'm also more than a little sleepy and I cannot work out why... It's a lot of wondering what is going on LOL... Rudh decided that while I was mulling all of that over she'd pop out and have a peaceful smoke break in the hallway... Anything to get away from my mind! 

She's looking like a little bit of a punk today... I LOVE this look though I have to admit, it's one that I've been enjoying playing around in since I put it on... 
It started all because of a pair of different but totally awesome looking jeans from Psycho Barbie and once I'd fallen in love with them, I spent the next hour trying to dig through my hoard to find the perfect look and somehow they just happened to be Punk! Union Jacks and lots of accessories, I felt awesome! I love these pants LOL...

Smoke Break

All the excitement of the fact that it´s Kings Day in the Netherlands would normally be getting me worked up and I'd need a moment to calm down. Normally we'd be partying and the park would be full of carnival and a second hand market... Things have been very different this year though, there's no party to speck of and we're all very sedate right now... 
I spent all day cleaning and this time last year I'd have been drinking a coffee and smoking  cigarette to just enjoy my peace after a buy day... Rudh is going to take the time out for me and has snuck somewhere quiet to smoke a sneaky cigarette.. 

I have to say that this outfit has been one of  recent favourites. Something that I put on and haven't been able to take off... 
The outfit was started due to the amazing Ostara High Waist Pants - from Psycho Barbie - which I dressed casually with a tank top - from Mug - and a soft leather jacket. I topped it off with a hat and some cute little braids... It's an outfit that makes me happy, it's an outfit that I will be wearing for a while hehe... 

What is she wearing;
Hat & Hair: Wasabi - Briar Mesh Hair in Fireworks
Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory
Cigarette: [Nikotin] - Classic Cigarette
Necklace: Vibing - Mara Set in Silver
Jacket: Pseudo - Bradley Jacket in Black
Top: Mug - Marissa Tank in Black
Pants: Psycho Barbie - Ostara High Waisted Pants
Pose: FOXCITY - Refresh, Pose 6
Background: PALETO - DON'T PANIC 

Dumped & Abandoned

At the beginning of the year a lot of people will often make changes in their life that they have been holding back on... For some that means the start of a rigorous exercise regime or a new diet, others will take on a new career or welcome a new pet into the family and for some, the perhaps unlucky few, they will find that the relationships they've been stuck in are suddenly over... 
In this case, Rudh found herself abandoned at the local train station, her few belongings that she wanted to take with her in cases by her feet. The last night of rough housing scarred forever into her thigh, and the look of a rough night on her face... 

The most important of her possessions are in her handbag - a "Don't Watch My Bag" from Tentacio - that she's having to carry in her right hand since any brushing against the Mystic Thigh Carving - from Fika - on her left leg sends a sharp pain through her body. His pet name "Poppet" will be left as a permanent scar, a permanent reminder of the fun they had before he dropped her off and left her to fend for herself.

Feisty but Soft too!

Having one of those weeks at the moment where I'm not feeling very sociable, more wishing I could be alone than feeling like being surrounded by people. It's not anyone's fault, I'm just not in a happy place and need some quiet time. My version of quiet time means LOUD music and no one to talk to... Is that weird?! That also means putting together an outfit and taking some time out to take pictures...
It's definitely put me into a bit of a feisty, defiant and dare I say bitchy mood?!

I guess you might say it's a look of the day for me, since this is an outfit that was put together for the pure love of dressing my barbie doll rather than as a need to showcase something by one of the awesome designers that I blog for. Not that it's anything bad, as I only blog what I really love, but sometimes it's nice to just make a look for myself rather than for someone else. 
I fell in love with this dress after seeing it advertised by the creator, FurtaCor, on Flickr. I love the feisty creativity of the texture used - it screams LOOK AT ME but at the same time DON'T FUCK WITH ME! 
After that it was just a case of making my look to fit my dress... I went a little badgirl in style, but it was helped a lot by a new hair release from RunAway called Ary - which you can grab now too at Collabor88 - the rest of the outfit was just trimmings!!! 

What is she wearing;
Hat & Hair: [RunAway] - Ary Hair in Reds (Available until March 6th at Collabor88)

A Thug Wife's Bad Language

She's the secretary of a biker club, the wife of an MC President, and is well... A little deranged sometimes. A kinky girl, a dark macabre kinda girl, and one that knows people who shouldn't be messed with, but does that make Rudh a bit of a Bad Ass? 
Honestly, as of late, I feel anything but bad ass... I feel more like I've been walked all over and stomped into a pulp because of other people's actions, but the bad ass in me is determined not to let that bring her down, this time! 
Instead, she's going to step back and take a breath. Light herself a cigarette and flick the bird at the pathetic people who walked out of her life for messed up reasons and move on... 

My big sister, the awesome Racey of Ghost Bullys MC, has been designing stuff in her little store - Pretty Sexy Things - for a while and sometimes, when I'm a really good girl I get magical gifts appearing in my grubby little hands... 
Today's gift is the somewhat naughty little Babe Bodysuit, which clearly shows off my Thug Wife (LOL) Lifestyle! Even when out walking my dog, I'm such a Thug Wife posing to share my Bad Language - in a pose from Secret Poses by the way! Everyone who knows me will agree, that sometimes my language can be a little colourful LOL...

"Daddy brought me one of dem newfangled Air Conditioner thingies!"

On Sunday, my lovely niece and crazy brother had a HillBilly wedding!! It was so much fun to get dressed up, and it's something that I'm really not good at. I've never really done it before, but for some reason I ended up as a Pregnant Stripper... It was SO funny to hear Kitten's Daddy - Lex - reading their wedding vows to which both had to respond "Yes Daddy"... 
My Daddy, Chopper, did give me a treat though. When his kid is a pregnant stripper that brings home the beer, he treated me to one of those newfangled Air Conditioner thingies... 

Coolin' off in the swamp outside my trailer... Got the Dawgs enjoying the cool air... In the family garden at Skull Creek... 
The fan comes with a pose that I had to have, I've seen it looking so sexy but you know me I'm a bit weird and couldn't resist... Its a pose from Reve Obscura called Issa Hot!

Losing her Soulmate

I'm reading a book called "Soulmates" at the moment. It's a weird chick-lit, a young couple fall in love, blah blah blah, you know the kind of thing, but there seems to be a side-line story as they are being watched in some secret government headquarters and there are lots of weird natural, almost disastrous events occurring as they get closer. It's actually kinda cute and interesting all rolled into one, I'm wondering what the heck is going to happen lol - it seems like there are hints of a Romeo and Juliet-ish type love story developing? 
Maybe that's why I'm so feisty and forcing Rudh to do something a little Post-Apocalyptic. She's bringing the female character to life, a girl trying to get back to her love?! 

So Rudh's look was KINDA sorta inspired by this warning of doom, and partly due to the fact that Remnant is now officially open!!
I love this event, even though it doesn't appear to have been publicised properly. It's not available to see in the usual places like Seraphim! Anyway though it's pretty awesome, I bought a feisty looking pair of TABOU Elda pants, that come complete with this ammunitions belt, and a Caution Tape Choker from Vibes - amongst other things... 
Then like the bad ass Merc that she is - thanks to a pose and it's prop from Reve Obscura, my new pose crush store - she creeps through the long grass in the now abandoned, post fallout zone that surrounds Tralala's Diner and hunts for the people trying to keep her away from her love...

My Sister and her Hogwarts!

I know that I said I wouldn't be around much over the Christmas break, but you know how it is... You sit there relaxing and suddenly it's like you get an itch... I NEEDED to fill some of my blogging addiction and needed to release a bit of that pent up bloggeritis! 
I'm in the UK now, back with family and having a wonderfully relaxing time of it too. Just taking time out to enjoy the company and familiarity of home. Yet my sister and I were flicking through the TV channels, wondering what to watch and she being a die hard Harry Potter fan was dismayed to know that I've never actually watched - or read for that matter - a single Harry Potter anything... 
I had however, stashed a blog post away ready to post sometime when the feeling got to me, so this one I'm dedicating to my RL lil sister, Sophie!

Soph is such a die-hard fan she can tell me anything about anything Harry Potter related - I guess a little like I am with Tolkein. 
She'd be a student of the Hufflepuff house, although I'm sure if we're talking about the RL me I may be there too - that's the one with the Badger right?! Rudh on the other hand would be a Slytherine... Without question. 
We had a party in SL recently that was Harry Potter themed. Being a bit resourceful, and not wanting to spend a lot on a Harry Potter based uniform, I found the cutest uniform from Zenith. Adding a pair of socks in the matching shade of green, as well as some bad girl accessories like a Garter belt full of money and a cigarette, it made Rudh really ready for her trip to Hogwarts. 
Only problem was, she wasn't counting on the fact that she would be pulled up on stage at Elysion and asked to perform for the ghostly crowd... Levitation... Leviosa right? 

What is she wearing; Location:
Hair: Truth - Scout in Redhead 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2

Anyone wanna Ride with Me?

Taking a few minutes away from the monsters, because well that is getting just a little too scary LOL, I opened a box sent from one of the stores I blog for to find that they had made some very biker chick "Rebel" Poses for this month's BishBox, and well you know me being in an MC I couldn't resist taking the time to pose in this set! 

The pose is one from Come Soon, and as I said before it's been released in this month's BishBox, The pose prop includes multiple poses and is perfect for the rebellious amongst us. While Rudh's finally stopped to smoke a cigarette - dressed in her usual flawless biker chick style - I've decided to let you know about something that may be of interest to the bikers amongst you... 
You may or may not know this but Rudh is the Secretary of the Gators MC... Well, we're recruiting! I mean, looking for people that may be interested in joining an MC. It doesn't matter about if you've never ridden a motorbike in Second Life before - we can help you with that - but if you're looking for something new and fun and interesting to do, with a bunch of people that love hanging out and being silly, then maybe you should come check us out?! 
If you want to know something about the MC you can either comment here, contact me - Rudhmellowen Laguna - in world or drop by the Gators MC. You never know, you may find it something you love doing!

Smoke Break

A lazy Sunday at my parents and although I'm stuck working, I'm able to sit back for a few minutes and find the time to chat with you... Let's think of it as taking a little breather, a smoke break of sorts. 
Of course, because that's what I am doing right now, I needed to get Rudh doing the same kind of thing so that she could share this moment with us... 

Let's just say that it's a bit of a look of the day for me today, seeing as I'm sat here without anything more to say than look at my pretty clothing!! 
So on a set at Whole Wheat, Rudh is taking a smoke break and showing off her new look... I am loving this short hair from monso called Twobi, that I picked up at the current round of Kustom9, and felt the need to pull a look together which works perfectly with this style. So when I realised that this Fetch Zippered Tank and the miss.chelsea Alve leggings looked like a match made in heaven I was a happy girl. The addition of a Slut Collar from Wimey - something that I'd wanted for a long while now by the way - just completed the look. 
A look of the day for me, and a coffee break done... Roll on the end of my shift so I can start doing some real relaxing hehe... 

What is she wearing;
Hair: [monso] - Twobi in Pop (Available until June 10th at Kustom9)

Time to Smoke

As a little insight into the RL person behind the avatar, I will admit that I smoke. I also live just outside of Amsterdam and so have a ready source of a different kind of thing to smoke - although I'm not actually keen on smoking it and prefer having it baked into something if I choose to partake in the weed high. 
There is a bit is a bit of a drugs culture in SL, people seem free to express things and therefore - like with many other RL taboos - the drug culture is not something that is seen as prohibited. Living in Holland, I know that laws in regards to drugs are somewhat more relaxed than other places in the world - I can see the difference even when I think of England - but I still find myself a little amazed that I can walk into a bar in SL and be like "Oh I've been in a bar like this in RL" even if it's decorated with Drug related paraphernalia... Bars like this one...

This is the bar at the very photogenic location that is Woodbury Falls, but the real reason that I wanted to chat with you today was not about the location... LOL there I go again, getting distracted in something random, it was in fact about my outfit! YES - another Look-of-the-Day... 
The dress is one with a story behind it. I saw this shine dress on Flickr and liked it lots, I went to Trés Chic - where the dress is currently available until May 5th - and wanted to try it on, BUT there was no demo available. Sad faced I contacted the designer who was so gracious and friendly in helping, I really commend her customer assistance, and she was really helpful. I got to try on the dress!!! At first I was a bit worried, it wasn't really as I'd imagined it might look on me, but after dressing it up with some adorable accessories - like the Denim Jacket from 'M.Birdie, and the Hat with this Asuka Truth Wig - it seemed perfect! Add to that, this awesome location and voilà... LOOK OF THE DAY!!!

What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Asuka in Reds

Santa's First Day Off!

Well that's it, it's actually done and dusted... The Christmas party is over and we're moving rapidly towards the start of a new year. Its'now that lovely quiet time between the festive days when you're able to sit back and digest, and to think about what it is that you've enjoyed. 
For Santa I've often thought that today would a time when he'd just let go and party hard! He's worked hard, and he's only got another 363 days until his next big day... As I've grown older, the way he chooses to relax seems to have changed and this year the not-so-fat Santa has chosen to party hard with a pair of Ho-Hos... 

By the way before anyone says anything, YES I KNOW that Ho-Hos are a cake, but aside from them tasting sweet the Ho-Hos that Santa is hanging out with are anything but cakey! Besides our Santa isn't exactly the typical fat man in a fluffy suit either... This Mr Claus is rather yummy. dressed in his Mr Sexy Santa Suit - from Crazy Kitty - and holding his fake beard in his hand, he's now finally taking some time out to sleep after his work night and day of partying is over... Looks like a great party was had, judging by all of the chaos around him and the Ho-Hos sprawled across his lap - using a sofa and pose from COME SOON called "Xmas Party" by the way!
I very much enjoyed being a Ho-Ho for this sexy Santa LOL... My sister Ho and I wore matching sweaters from epoch - which you can grab at Suicide Dollz until December 29th - and not much else besides some shiny red heels and some cute Christmassy Accessories! 
We should leave Mr Claus in peace, I think he earnt it after the last few days, and it looks like his Ho-Hos may have totally worn him out... I do wonder what Mrs Claus will say to this though?!

Caffeine and Nicotine

I awoke this morning to the remnants of yesterdays storm... Rain was pattering on the roof, the wind was whistling through the open window and, oh how can I forget, HellBone and the dog both snoring away. Yesterday was not a good day weatherwise, but it gave me the perfect excuse to hide in-doors and snuggle up warm and cosy-like.
This morning the storm seems to have passed, and although I had to get ready for work, I couldn't help myself taking a moment to stop and listen to the sounds of the world waking up... It makes drinking a coffee seem that much more enjoyable!

Rudh is enjoying her morning coffee this morning too... After crawling out of her SecondLife bed, she pulled on a long baggy shirt under her new "Wil Cardigan" - from C'est la vie at the new round of Shiny Shabby - and then padded onto the balcony of one of her many houses - yes I have actually got two houses, a caravan and my "dead shed" LOL - to watch the morning start with her favourite morning addictions caffeine - in a brand new and perfectly fitting slogan emblazoned mug from Plastik, also at Shiny Shabby - and nicotine! The chair with it's soft throw and the candle light as the sun in SL rose just seemed so inviting!
Mind you now that I am thinking about it that sounds like something I would enjoy in RL, so I will chat with you later and hope that you too had a good lazy weekend!

Rudh joined the Mickey Mouse Army

Monday Morning, June 20th, and it's raining! It's a true Summers Day here in this part of Europe... One of the funniest realisations came to me this morning... When I initially moved to Holland, all of the Dutch people would tell me that the weather here was better than it is in the UK... NEWS FLASH TO THE DUTCHIES OUT THERE - the weather here is no different to the weather in the UK, it's windier, true, but it rains just as much!!
Still as it's Monday, it's time for me to pull up my big girl panties and swing into fighter mode... I have to work with someone I'm sure you've heard me complain about before, and right now I need to be ready... Perhaps channelling Rudh's latest Army style will give me the power to fight and ignore the irritations in the office?!

This fighter in the Mickey Mouse Army, just happens to be Rudh! She's enjoying a moment's peace - and some WHOLE WHEAT - while she prepares to face any drama that may come her way, and unfortunately knowing SL as well as I do, that won't be too far away.
Her military uniform is made up of the awesome katat0nik "Button Up Romper", which is available this month for Collabor88, and the surprisingly great with the romper "Adrianna Boots" from Pure Poison! Oh and of course not forgetting her whole stack of accessories too...
I'm hoping she's ready for war... I feel it's coming!!!

What is she wearing;
Hat: Aglaia - Mouse Helmet
Hair: TRUTH - Velma in Reds (Available until June 26th at Vintage Fair 2016)

Want to join the Mouseketeer Army?

It's a work at home day for me today, which means I can relax and although it's naughty, dedicate just a little more of my attention to all things SL... Feels great to be able to spend some time taking photos and getting things ready to share here, perhaps today I can get a little creative too, who knows?! 
I do feel a little feisty today, although I could do with a lot more sleep too, it's a weird combination,,, I think I should do something a little silly perhaps?! Maybe I'll join a made up - for the purposes of my own personal childhood fantasies lol - Disney Army... I wonder how the Disney Princesses would look? Perhaps something a little like this?

Which were blonde? Cinderella, Aurora, Rapunzel perhaps? Though Rapunzel's hair when brown when it was cut short... Anyway this is my imaginings of what they would look like, and I love it!!! 
The Minnie Mouse Ears helmet is something that I've had stuffed in my hoard for ages, it's old-school sculpties but you wouldn't know to look at it so much, and I love it with this fierce cut short hairstyle from Lamb called Baby Blue, which is a gift at We <3 RP! 
The rest was just something a little like set dressing hehe, she needed to look beaten up, and she needed to look tough, but there is one more thing that needs an honourable mention and that's her weapons.  These guns are actually a necklace - they are not functional as guns just so you know - but they are a brilliantly interesting necklace from (Poisoned Diamond). I am not really a lover of guns, I try to avoid them if I can but this necklace sparked this journey of mine into crazy talk about a Disney Army LOL... It had to be done! 
Anyone wanna join the Mouseketeer Army?

New Chairs from NEWCHURCH

Recently one of my sisters in the MC, lil Fyre, was talking to me about a store she'd started working for... A fairly new on the SL scene furniture store called NEWCHURCH. It was a store I'd never heard of, but she said she'd been given the task of promoting the store... 
Thank you to Victor - NEWCHURCH's owner - for allowing me the honour of being able to blog one of his creations. I have to admit that the furniture style is not really to my taste - it's all fairly realistic looking and I am a freak for the whimsical - BUT it is very well made, the textures are brilliant and I think that NEWCHURCH could be a rising star in the furniture world of SL... 

The store isn't huge but all of the pieces are fairly cute, and I can imagine that they would work well in any "realistic" style home... When I checked out the store, I chose a piece that I loved both for the texture and the shape, although it might have been more suited to a tropical beach that my weed filled smoky room! It's like a polar opposite of my look and accessories today, and I love that I can be so bi-polar in one photo hehe... 
I accessorised the shot with some of my Monies Smuggling Bears from Bokeh and a few joints from BUENO... Don't touch my joints, I've got a gun and I'm not afraid to use it! The gun comes with my new wig from [taketomi]... 
So lesson of the day, check out NEWCHURCH and keep your hands off my weed LOL... 

What is she wearing;
Hair & Gun: [taketomi] - Delia in Reds 
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 
Cigarette: [NikotiN] - Classic Cigarette 
Necklace: random.Matter - Banshee Choker in Silver
