The Cavalier Captain

I want a little more fantasy in my mind, I am bored little mind right now as everything seems to be crazy busy and then same old, same old... I'm going to have to find myself an adventure, maybe there is an adventure to be had before the Engine Room closes it's doors and takes away it's wonderful characters until next time... 

I've heard it said that the Engine Room will be closing it's doors on April 20th, so that doesn't give us long anymore to enjoy the adventures that it has brought with it's opening... 
Today we're onboard the boat of the Piratas Salvajes - which is a backdrop from The Bearded Guy - as it sails on the stormy seas. The captain of the vessel is a bit of a Cavalier - dressed in a set from toksik, available until April 20th at the Engine Room - but she's being guided by the spiritual Haunting Buns - from Tardfish - that are naughty and devious, and leading this girl's crew on a perilous adventure...

My Disney Princess Moment!

It's been a day off for me and I've taken some time to look after myself and get some fun things done for me... I wanted to catch up on some blogging, play with some outfits and get some of my inventory sorted... 
I spent lots of time singing along, badly I might add, to a playlist of Disney songs and thus I was channelling my inner-Disney Princess... 

It helped that I spent a lot of time playing around today in some gorgeously pretty dressed, that I had picked up when I went to shop at the Midnight Order... That place is magical and the fashions are fit for the princesses amongst us... 
The Dolce Far Niente Gardens - a backdrop from K&S - is slowly shacking off it's Winter wear and the birdies are coming back in search of something delicious... So I took more of an opportunity to live my Disney Princess dreams and, even though I actually sounded more like Princess Fiona in Shrek, I had a little sing song with the birdies...

Remembering Them...

Today is November 11th, and for a lot of places in the world are celebrating the veterans today... I know that for the UK, Remembrance Sunday was the last weekend, but I always find a few moments today to pause daily life and remember those that lost their lives to protect our freedom... Being a Brit, the way that the people fought for England's freedom during WWI and WWII and the stories that they had to tell has always awed me of their resiliance, their tenacity and their voraciousness to protect their home... I had to take a moment to honour them... 

At the old Defense Camp - a backdrop from The Bearded Guy - where the poppies grow between the old Spitfires and bombs, Rudh got all dressed up and ready to remember them... After doing a little digging at the Salvage Station, she found the perfect outfit - from Eudora3D at Salvage Station - and even found a helmet that makes her look like a Femm of War - the helmet comes from Apika, also at Salvage Station - and she may be a little rusty wearing her Salvaged Armor - which happens to be the tattoo from Nefekalum - but once she is wound up, the key that has her power will enable the salute to those that have fallen... 

What is she wearing;
Helmet: [Apika] - Femm of War Helmet (Available until November 30th at Salvage Station)

Gorgon Chained!

You may well know now that I work in a public setting, and there are people that seem to do everything in their power to put you down because you don't have the things they do have. I get that some of the tourists have more material things than others but today those same kinda people basically shoved other people out the way to stuff their face on tasting samples and then complained about the price of the product... I had such a hard time not rolling my eyes, but it brought out a monster in me and although that varies from time to time, the monster of today would be a gorgon LOL... 

I love when my mind takes me to al kinds of different monsterous places, but since I'm watching Wednesday and think that Ajax is the cutest little sweetie so a Gorgon definitely demands my attention... Plus she's the kind of monster that I need when I'm at work sometimes, being able to turn people that look at her hair to stone would definitely help make thing easier when I'm dealing with rude, annoying customers... 
Monsters like her have to be kept chained up for the safety of others, and while she's a little misunderstood, they bound the wrong parts of her... Eyes closed under a blindfold, while her snakes are loose...

What To Wear?! What To Wear?!

One of my favourite things about blogging, something that I've often said before, is that I LOVE being able to create characters and come up with some weird and wonderful stories... I LOVE that side of blogging and will do it often... Sometimes it's a case of opening my wardrobe doors and throwing things together... It's like creating some crazy, fun disguise to slip into to change my mood and make everything brighter... 

Sometimes it's a blessing, others it's just a way of making life seem difficult LOL... Today was one of those days. I KNEW I needed to do something, I don't think it was pressure since it's not nearing the end of the month, but I stood looking through things I wanted to blog and as if by magic, the idea came to me... Disguises... A secret agent, super sleuth... A Victorian girl, secret super sleuth, steampunk investigator lol... She needed a costume, standing around in her underwear wondering what it would be this time...

Gathering of the Rainbow Fae

I was off work today and thought to myself "I'm going to be a good little blogger and get lots of pictures ready for me to post every day this week"... A few hours later and I got preciesly ONE ready... I wasn't being lazy, I just let myself decide to create something that took a lot of work and far too much planning LOL... Not to mention trying to get multiple versions of me into one shot... WHAT WAS I THINKING?!!

I had something in mind that I wanted to blog, I had a gorgeous new head - the Kanjo Anime Head from BeSpoke - and figured it might look great with the magical Astraeus Skins - a new release from Faunus, and both of these things could be found at the recently opened Skin Fair - and therein was my BIG PROBLEM... ALL of the colours were gorgeous... 
From the moment I was playing with colours, thoughts of rainbow fairies sprang into my mind, dancing around in space amongst the stars... Gathering together before they plan their descent to paint the sky with a magical rainbow...

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...

Plans for the Engine Room

There are so many things to enjoy about this time of year that it's almost enough for me to forget my RL illness issues and focus on things that are much more fun... Shopping events in SL are getting exciting, we have grunge events, halloween goodies are coming and the Engine Room will be opening the doors to welcome in those seeking their steampunkish answers...

Opening of the Engine Room always brings in many interesting people, those people gather together to discuss the newest innoventions and Steampunkish creations, and once the event has gathered all of those peope together, Magic will happen... 
Rudh has been prepping for the opening of the Engine Room for a while, practising her science speak, laying out plans and discussing them with her collection of Cats - like the gorgeous kitties from JIAN - all the while trying to look like a Steampunkish science type...

Flames of Destruction

The high season has started at work and things are getting busy. We are running late shifts, and we have people that are coming in and rather than being polite when it comes to tastings there are people that think of it as a free lunch. We are even staying open until 8PM and that means I'm not walking in my front door, until 9.30. By that time I should already be in my pyjamas, cuddling a cup of tea and getting ready for bed... I'm not happy and things are only just starting to heat up... 

If things continue to get frustrating, if people continue not to listen and act like animals with disgusting eating habits and people that let their children run riot, I'm going to start seeing red. Any worse I'll be burning the place to the ground but to stop things getting to me I'm going to give them hell... Metaphorically you understand, not physically like I want to with a HUGE weapon like the Bitch Grinder that Rudh found - an old gacha weapon from AsteroidBox - and I'm sure is something that I could do some serious damage with... 
Although unlike me in my cheesy uniform, Rudh will be able to burn the ground in the Engine Room Steampunk style...

Demon of Jormungaad

It's Friday evening, and there have been so many busy things happening today that I want to sleep and drift off to a place that's not Real Life... It's a world full of sparkles, and magic, and the occasional dark force thatsees demons battle the light, taking on the rainbows and prettiness of the fae folk... 
Today the darkness has beaten the light, the demons are winning, they have been battling the monstrous peoplen that walk the streets of Amsterdam at the moment... They are winning... The dark sparkles are drowning me... 

Tonights an Evil Night - like the backdrop from PALETO - I cannot believe that the darkness feels so much better than RL at the moment... I'm a dark little Demon in an Infernal mess, being guided by the markings of the Jormungaad - which is actually a tattoo from DarkQueen at the new round of Ritual that opens it's doors tomorrow, April 22nd, and runs until May 12th...

The Anger of the Red Queen

Days like today have been crazy and problemati, tourists are much needed in my workplace, but at the same time they drive me fricking nuts sometimes. There has been so many people today that are out to make me want to kick their butts.
Getting home for the evening I slip into a pair of super comfy pyjamas, and curl up on the sofa to wind down after the day. I'm going to let my mind slip off into it's usual fantasy world although rather than pretty and fairytale, the Red Queen has had enough... The people are revolting, they are rising up against her tyrannical reign and she is angry... The magic is seething within her, ready to burst out and destroy... 

Standing in the throne room of Momento Mori Castle - a Spires Society creation for Midnight Order - her rage bubbling up, it's crazy to see such a beauty with such a terrible look on her face. It's worse to see the swirling mist inside her Moon Scepter, as her rage builds and it gets more violent when she gets more mad... Someone has to pay for this insolence... Someone will suffer...
