52WOCC2 - Week 5

Last weekend my whole PC seemed to blow what one might refer to as a raspberry at me, least that is what you might call it if you were being polite. At the time trust me the PC was the victim of a stream of words so foul that even a sailor might have blushed! I was even threatening to assualt my PC with a sledgehammer! It was lucky that I had already written the post and could just throw it into published mode on Hell's PC! Was also a weekend that Vix had taken a couple of days off from Seraphim leaving me to "keep the ship sailing!" I owe a LOT to the others for getting everything done without problems *hugs* THANKS GIRLIES!

This colour, however, was the first one that had me thinking HUH WHAT AM I GONNA DO?!  I had no ideas and was drawing a blank at every corner I turned. Fledge and I discussed the colour, and I wont mention what she suggested, don't wanna give away any details that might point to what she will be doing this week, but I was still kinda confused as to what direction my colour look would take me. By now anyone who looks at my blog will know that I have to dress up, a normal everyday look will not do, but where would I end up!

Week 4 - PATINA

Week 4: Such a cold colour that I froze my rose.

What is she wearing; 
Hair: Wasabi Pills - Cherilyn
Skin: LionSkins - Diamond Hunt 2
Outfit, including necklace, and crown: Faster Pussycat - Trinity Graves Outfit
Rose: Made by a friend - Crystal Rose

I don't know what I was going for with this look, it could be some under the sea beauty, yet I feel that with the dark make-up, that icy stare and the fact that I froze a rose by touching it that it would have to be an ice queen look! I did try for a full length photo too but it just wasn't going to do that awesome crown justice! I even out up an icy texture behind Rudh this week... Not all weeks will get a fancy background but I thought that the ice helped the ice queen to pop outta the background more!
Next Week -Alice Blue - so pale it's almost white!

Scared of the dark? Get a Facelight

Normally I wouldn't use a facelight, I used to use one all the time and sometimes even went around glowing when I forgot to take it off after a photoshoot. With the ability to set windlight however you want it, I just play with that rather than think "Oh I must put my facelight on" now, but I was looking through the massive heap of random stuff that I have stock piled in my inventory and found the most awesome facelights in Secondlife... They are just so awesome that it defies belief hehe...

Schadenfreude made these awesome facelights, the set I have includes 4 varieties, and though they could be classed as mouthies, I think these provide just the right amount of light to make pictures sparkle LOL...

This is my afraid of the dark look. I don't know quite why, but sometimes I get a little afraid in the dark. Maybe it has something to do with my re-occuring nightmares, but then other times being snuggled up in bed in the dark can be soothing. When I was younger I used to have a nightlight beside my bed, it was an old school lava lamp and it used to make my room so pretty as it glowed orange - shame my kitty broke it one day... Damn Kitty!! 

Oh and to Miss Nicole, I am working on finding the perfect nose item to photograph just for you... bear with me LOL!

52WOCC2 - Week 4

This week has to have been the EASIEST week ever, I love it when you can know exactly what you wanna play dress up as and find the entire outfit including hair first try, then get the snapshot you want first pose and all it needs is a little cropping! That happens almost never for me, normally I spend ages picking and poking at different things, tweaking them and changing them about a gajillion times. BUT THIS TIME, I got lucky lol! For some reason I get an idea in my head and then it won't shift, as happened last week with the Frankenstein's Roller Disco Bride look, yet this week I knew the kind of direction that I would be going in as soon as I read what colour we were facing this week... 

Week 3 - IRON

Week 3: Why does this pose and this outfit make me laugh so much?

What is she wearing;

Hair: ARI - Hannah
Outfit: Bare Rose - Armor of Ordeal

Shortest outfit list ever too... I am on a roll lol, I am writing this post on MONDAY MORNING lol... How advanced am I? 
Next Week - Patina, it's like pale teal?!

Getting an Eyeful!

This is becoming a pattern, I seem to buy or find random things in my inventory and I think DAMMIT I MUST SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE! Then I can't get the idea outta my head until I put a look together and get myself photographed. I will admit that I don't take the world's best photos, I want to play with shadows but my PC hates me at the moment, I think the graphics card is dying. It keeps cutting out and my PC just goes blank, I can hear it working but then cant see anything, and what with SL being one of the world's most abusive to the graphics cards programmes I am pretty much left to scream at the PC, breathe and restart!

So you get pics from me without shadows, but I will try to make them as interesting as I can... Like this one...

Yes I know after that post about tongues I go and post myself in a picture wearing a tongue, but it went with the eyeball theme and was straight off after I had taken the picture. Yet I do have SO MUCH WEIRD STUFF... Maybe I should save it all for the colour challenge as you never know what will come up, but then I think what is the point in having it if I don't share it?! So anyway "EYE SEE YOU" lol. Thank you Magoa for this amazing dress lol, I know it was released for the Modiva Fashion Week last year, but fashion and Rudh don't really go hand in hand, and whilst I was posing in the dress Fledge asked me "why are you wearing an eyeball dress?". To be totally honest I don't know, was just something that I found that I wanted to wear, and hey it kinda fits with the weird Rudhish Quirkiness and my collection of body parts dontcha think?

Into the Blackout!

Showing my support for the Blackout today - I wonder how I will cope without the Internet? Might have to find myself a book?!

To find out more about the SOPA/PIPA debacle - check this out... and other than that... RUDH OUT!

Your Tunes - Mr Sandman!

This week's song was chosen by my adoptive parent in SL - Connie. Connie has come up in posts on my blog randomly and if you read my blog you might remember that I wrote a post all about SL Boxing due to her and her passion and winning of championships?! 

When Connie was asked it took a while to get an answer that I could actually use. The first song was one written by a RL Nephew and there was no way that I could find it hidden away on you-tube... The next song that was offered up was one that I could find and was a song that always makes you want to sing along to no matter how old you are, it is such a classic song!

THE CHORDETTES - MR.SANDMAN

As I always do when I am asking someone to pick a song I asked Connie why that was particular song of choice... The response I got was a good one "Every once in awhile, there is a song you really like that you always have liked and not necessarily in a special way. It's a song you've heard in your life for years and sort of put it to bed. Still it hangs in your memory waiting to looked at like an old photograph. I had forgotten about this particular old song until I saw it on YouTube in an update cover by some new artists who made this marvelous video for it and presented themselves, and the old song, in a delightful new wrapping that is a treasure to unwrap and enjoy." I went with the old school pictures of the Chordettes, as I love the original version but Connie did share the link with me of the cover that rekindled a love of this song - find it here!

This picture was fairly easy to get right when I knew what I wanted to do... 

I think Hell is gonna get a complex though lol every time I have pictures with any kinda dream guy I always end up with pictures of Jared Padalecki, LOL. Luckily he knows that I wouldn't ever replace him and that I am just into the prettiness that is Mr.Padalecki! Besides pretty men like that can only exist in fantasies for most of us mere mortal woman and in RL I would probably be highly put off, all men no matter how gorgeous have their stinks and their quirks... least I know what Hell's are now hehe!!! Better the devil you know right?

Actually while thinking of interesting things like is it better the devil you know, I'd like to ponder who will be next? WHO KNOWS? 

52WOCC2 - Week 3

THREE WEEKS ALREADY, oh my gahhhhhhh!!!! I can feel the end drawing closer and damn it makes the year seem shorter when we talk about weeks lol... Should I start my weeks to Christmas countdown? LOL... After my collaboration last week it was good to be able to dive through my wardrobe and dig out something interesting to wear! But what would it be? I have SO MUCH, yet purple is not a colour I normally bother to go anywhere near. I don't like purple, almost as much as I don't like pink... But that I guess is part of the challenge. 

WEEK 3 - ELECTRIC INDIGO

Week 3: Rock and ROLL hehehe

What is she wearing; 

Hair: Ploom - Bride of Frankenstein
Skin: [sYs] - Crystalline Skin (past hunt prize)
Top: BeBe Doll - Rock-N-Roll Top
Shorts: Maai - Candy Shorts
Bracelet: SIGMA Jewels - Layered Bangles
Ring: Rangs - Curves Ring
Skates: CS Design - Roller Skates 

For some reason when I thought dressing up and lightning I couldn't quite get the thought of Frankenstein (or Frankie Stein lol I love Monster High, I'm so lame but I wish those dollies had been around instead of dumb old barbie when I was a kid!). Then though I found the adorable sparkly hot pants in my inventory and as they fit the colour I wanted to use these too... so how was I going to incorporate both... the answer was simple - Frankenstein's Bride at a Roller Disco... TADAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Next Week -Iron! (kinda pale grey!)
