Internet Troll

I've said it before and I will say it again, I get so panicked when I find a teeny accessory that I want to ramble about here and then have to build an entire outfit around lol... It seriously makes me itch and I have to pull something seriously imaginative out of the bag at times. This time was really no exception, and it all started with the smallest piece of jewellery becoming the kick starter for my very own Internet Troll look hehe...

The accessory that started it all was the tiny boobies chain, that is available from Cute Poison for the new round of The Boobies Show. When I saw these advertised I thought they looked awesome and the HUD that is included has many different words to suit any mood you are in, but I was a bit dubious that I could wear them as I don't wear a pair of lola nungas. I am happy to say that they look great on normal sized nungas too!
But a plan formed in my head that wasn't anywhere near normal, and you know me I just decided to go with it LOL... I had recently bought - or won depending on how you look at a Gacha - some new goodies from Death Row Designs. The Creature Items - horns and legs with body blood, nails and face horns - were available from Oh My Gacha. I got lucky and won the Satan's Vengence Creature Legs, which are the rare items, and they come with the a few extras, that I decorated with the large Creature Horns in darkness. Of course, a troll shouldn't have normal human skin - I was wearing my normal skin at first and boy did it look a little strange - so when I pulled on the Gauze Dragon Born skin with it's tattoos, it just seemed to fit the look I was going for.
Then after that it was just a matter of making it seem more like an internet troll... I covered my modesty with some Duct Tape - an oldie but definitely one of my go-to items from League, and then accessorized for the internet, and then computerfied things by adding the Codie Hair from Discord Designs and the new Post Apocalyptic Nerd neck tie from Death Row Designs - available at FaMESHed. For the final Internet trollish touch, I had to of course give the access to the internet, thought the hand posing prop from Embody!
The only thing left to do though is to share a close-up of the look... The reason I wanted to do this is that the entire reason for creating the look - the titty chain - is so small that you can barely see it... So enjoy LOL...

Sitting on a Panda Chair

I wanted to just do a quick ramble about my favourite new item of furniture...
I bought this chair before Christmas but then it seemed to get caught up in all of my awesome new Christmas goodies and I didn't find it again until the weekend.

The Panda Chair from Intrigue Co perfectly fits into my house perfectly. As I've often said before, my house is like a children's play house and I am always on the look out for the perfect fun things to stash in there to play with.
So my outfit is just what I was wearing on the day I found it buried, my favourite new hair from Ploom called Chilly and a comfortable relaxing outfit including new tights from KOSH and a cute slogan top - from BOOM - that really reflects me at times, I feel. The slogan Slocially Awkward really seems to fit me in my SL, because when I am surrounded by SL MCs I always feel more than a little awkward.
It´s at times like that when I want to run and hide, and a HUGE chair like this would definitely make for the perfect hiding spot.

What is she wearing;
Hair: Ploom - Chilly
Skin: Glam Affair - Candy Skin in America 09 (Past Arcade Item)

ImmateriAl MishMish...

I have never been very good at taking glamourous photos. Something a little crazy, yes! Something a little dark, yeah I guess so too! When it comes to taking photos of something glamourous, however, I personally feel I always find myself falling flat and not achieving the look I wanted. So recently, when I was passed this gorgeous dress and was asked if I'd like to become an official blogger for the store ImmateriA, I knew I couldn't say no but I also thought "argh crap, it's gorgeous how can I make myself look elegant!" My brain started whirring, I needed a plan of action and fast...

My plan of action became an image that reminded me of when I was little and I used to play dress up. OK so the photo is of an adult Rudh but the toys on the old chair definitely have my mind drifiting back to when I was little. The chair itself is a Rusted Crate Chair available from [N*11] at the Oh My Gacha event. I even, as I would have when I was younger, rested some cute toys in the form of a yumyums i-Lo bear and a cute Bunny Cafe Cup from Birdy - both of which are also available at Oh My Gacha too. Though I also couldn't resist using the new Nostalgia Jewelry Box from MishMish that you can pick up at the latest Collabor88 line-up. 
Then it was on to the outfit itself, I knew just what to wear as the whole reason behind my panic was this gorgeously, classy, vintage style dress from ImmateriA - called Stregoni -  in a pretty Azure colour but there are other colour combinations to choose from and each one comes with a long cigarette holder and gloves. I kept my accessories simple as I wanted the dress to take centre stage, and pulled on one of the deviousMind Lolita wristWraps in a storm colour design... 
I think I managed to pull off glamourous? Maybe just this once?

In the Candlelight...

Sometimes you get inspired by the little things, and those little things fall into place around bigger outfits that you are told to wear by certain family members, and when those things fall into place as you set the shot up perfectly and find the right lighting settings, it feels awesome! I had a moment like this while taking this photo, it was going great until drama happened around me and I had no choice but to sit still until I could have the shot completely ready and taken. I felt more than a little crappy after the words were dealt like punches BUT on the plus side, I have a really gorgeous photo out of it hehe...

I really do love this photo hehe... Personally it is one of my favourites for a long while. 
It started with the Dark Khione Dress from SAKIDE, that I kept glam with a pair of strappy heels from N-Core, and then went overboard with accessories hehe... OK maybe not overboard - not like I am wearing my entire jewellery box or anything. On my wrist I wore one of the Lolita Wristwraps from deviousMind - in a storm colour - that are available from the Oh My GACHA event, and while on the subject of the event, the Candle Crowns on my head - from The Plastik - can also be found here. I am wearing two different sets of candles as they come in various heights and colours, and I wanted to give it a two-tiered effect! My non-human side of me was clawing to get out during this photoshoot, and so I allowed it just a little by including a pair of horns - with chains - from Death Row Designs in the styling. Then we come to the difficult bit, the neck accessories hehe... I'll start with the most obvious! The fluffy is actually a neck warmer called Black Mop from RONSEM, and although striking on it's own I felt it missed something. Then I remembered the Wicked Collars from SongBird, which I wore for a little more of an evil queen - in a Disneyish way - look, but there was still something missing. I realised I needed just a little more pzazz and dug through my hoard, finally settling on a padlocked chain called Pop Lock & Drop from FAUX that is available at SL Fashion Week!

Berry´s Memes are back for a New Year... YAY!

The morning ritual at work is I sit at my desk with a cuppa and look through all the pretty pics that people have posted on Flickr throughout the previous day! There are some amazing photography artists in SL and some of the fashionistas have me grabbing for my notepad! Though this morning as I was casting my tired eyes over the photos, I noticed one that made me happy dance in my seat... BERRY IS BACK WITH A NEW MEME!!! Luckily I was on my own in the office at the time or people might have thought I had finally lost it, but for me personally, Berry´s Memes will always help to keep my blogging mojo running and provide lots of entertainment while I answer her questions and provide crazy pictures!

So that was your first pretty, but somewhat random considering the theme of the post, picture for the New Year related post. I was thinking about following in Berry´s footsteps and working on something kind of snowy, but to be honest I don´t like snow that much, even in SL! Sure it´s pretty, but it always makes me really nervous but if anyone will fall over and hurt themselves you can be 90% sure that I will be the one to do it! So I went with something a little more my style hehe... I found a fun place to take pictures called Wasted - which is a dirty, post-apocalypic and destroyed oil refinery by the look of things - and pulled on a bad girl biker look...
Anyway, enough rambling Rudh... Time to get on with the important bit... THE QUESTIONS!
How did you spend New Year’s Eve? I spent at home with HellBone and our doggy, watching the crazy Dutch people celebrate. The fireworks were going off ALL DAY from about 10am and our dog was going crazy, so Hell and I were acting like a pair of silly buggers to stop her panicking. All was going fine until they played The Twist song - an oldie but still such a fun song - and Hell and I were dancing, then BAM our knees met and OUCH! LOL!
Did you keep any new years’ resolutions? Well, not this year. I used to always make resolutions and then would be majorly disappointed in myself for not sticking with them. So this year I decided to not think about it. Instead I plan on enjoying 2014 and not letting the issues that Hell and I went through in 2013 continue to affect us!
What was your biggest achievement(s) of the year? Hmmm achievements... I don't think there were many big achievements in the last year. There were lots and lots of little ones, but nothing major that stands out on it's own really.
What was the best thing you bought? The best thing I bought this year in RL has to be my house! HellBone and I are officially home owners! He actually owned the house with his ex and I bought her out of it, but still I bought a house in 2013! Makes me feel all grown up and kinda scares me a little. As for purchases in SL well that is a little more difficult, I am shopping all the time and each time these things become my favourite buys LOL...
What do you wish you’d done more of? I wish I'd seen my family more. Living in Holland is great but going months without seeing them can be hard. I mean talking to them on the phone or on skype is great, but nothing like actually being with them! There are plans for a tunnel - similar to the Eurostar Train Tunnel that runs from Paris to London - between London and Amsterdam... I wish they'd get that done faster LOL.
What do you wish you’d done less of? I think I am in agreement with Berry on this one, and will say that I wish I had done less worrying about the negatives that people had to say about me. I am slowly beginning to learn that no matter what people think, as long as I am enjoying myself and no one is getting hurt then the negative words of other people are just that... WORDS! They always say that there is no bad press, and that at least people are talking about you, and my mum always says people only say bad things because they are jealous of you. So from now on I plan on thinking more along the lines of "Thank You" when someone is being catty, rather than allowing myself to feel like what I am doing is not good enough or wrong.
What was your favorite movie you watched this year? What movie did I love this year... Hmmm that is a hard one because there have been a LOT! I cannot choose one new movie that I loved this year, but I will admit that my favourite movie I sat and watched this year was the same one I watch every year at Christmas - The Sound of Music. It became family tradition as it was on the television around the holidays when I was younger, and even now living on my own, I still found myself curling up to watch it on the TV whilst singing along and crying - as I used to do with my mum - when the mother superior nun sings "Climb Every Mountain" LOL...
What did you do on your birthday this year? My Birthday in 2013 was possibly one of my best ever! I think I've mentioned it before, but I'll share it again! HellBone and I spent it in EuroDisney - the Disneyland in Paris - as we'd just been through a crappy year financially and were finally not just afloat but were doing well. We spent my Birthday in the park, wearing Mickey Mouse ears, but it was when HellBone got down on one knee in front of the big pink Cinderella castle and thousands of people that made my day the best ever!
Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned. I need worry less about what people think and just be myself. I need to stop doubting my own abilities and have a little more confidence in me.
What does 2014 hold for you? Well a wedding for a start, but other than that I want to travel. I want to meet up with friends that I have met in SL and give them hugs in RL, but other than that I am looking forward to some - hopefully good - surprises!

My SL DisneyBounding - Donald Duck

I haven't had a chance to do this for a while but I feel like working on another SL DisneyBound look.
For those of you that need reminding, or if you are thinking "what the heck is she talking about?", the SL DisneyBound Challenge was started a good few months ago by Natalee Oodles and each week we had to create a look based around a chosen Disney Character.
The reason for this was that I have asked my big brother Javad to chose a character. Javad is a member of the family that I don't talk about all that often, although that doesn't mean I care about him any less... He also, in a weird way, reminds me a lot of the character he chose, though he might kill me for saying so hehe...

My SL DisneyBounding - Donald Duck

Donald is one of Disney's oldest and most recognisable characters, both from a visual and an audible stand point. Javad is fairly recognisable in a crowd too, though due to his looks only, as he never says much... There are a lot more similarities between the two too... Both are extremely loyal and will defend their loved ones no matter the reason, and are both willing to fight for what they believe in too... Though hearing him talk is very rare, I can honestly say that he is a little clearer than Donald - not much, just a little LOL...

So working on Donald Duck proved harder than I thought. He is one of those iconic Disney Characters, but at the same time somewhat harder to create in my own style than Mickey Mouse... I tried to keep it simple, but very Rudhified. Blue, however, is not a colour I wear often. I got lucky though because SAKIDE had released these gorgeous sparkly - or Glistening - dresses and the blue one really caught my attention. I added some white tights, with zippers up the back that you will have to believe me are there, from RezIpsa Loc and then began to accessorise - my favourite bit! So, I wanted white hair, so that it kinda represented the white feathers and I needed a hat... For some reason I was drawn to the Truth Jolene style complete with baseball hat - I don't know why! Hats and especially baseball caps have never really been a part of my everyday wear, but this seemed to fit somehow?! Then I went with a nautical theme on my jewellery, wearing a Sailor Necklace from KOSH and a Nautical Necklace from Cute Poison! I even pulled on some VERY old  duck feet slippers, sorry to say though that these are no longer available!
The last thing I needed to find was a location that suited Donald's Naval style, and I found the perfect place in the Steelhead Fishery with it's super cute little tugboats and slightly steampunk feel!

What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Jolene
Skin: Glam Affair - Candy Skin in America 09 (Past Arcade Item)
Face Wounds: (Right Eye) Corvus - Scarred Face Tattoo, (Left Cheek) Corvus - Cheek Scars

The Nymph of the Swamp

Time to bring a little more fantasy back into my ramblings. I feel I have been far to human me for a while now and I needed to find that inner fantasy sparkle again...I think I found it too, all thanks to a pretty hairstyle and a pair of horns... It's amazing what the combination of these two things can do for you hehe...

The pretty nymph started off heading in an icy direction but was pulled back towards water and eventually to our little swamp. After all every good swamp needs a water spirit to protect it right? Especially with all of those big scary bikers around!
The dress is actually a fairly simple one, something that I have had stashed away in my hoard since the summer... This Delhi Dress from SAKIDE is so cute and in multiple colours, it really does make for the perfect summer maxi dress! 
For the rest of the look I've decided to include a close-up so you can see the things I am rambling about more clearly hehe... 

 OK where to start...  Something small and kinda hidden... The Necklace! I've had this gorgeous necklace in my grubby mitts since before Christmas and I hate to admit that I had no idea how gorgeous it was. When you look at it up close the slides - or mini circles - are swirling with snowflakes! It was available as a hunt prize in the Gothmas by Candlelight Hunt, at AZE Jewelry, and although I hope it is still available I am not able to say for certain if it is still a prize or not. I will say that this is worth investing money in however, and with the different metal colours, it seems beyond gorgeous... Can I get one of these in RL please?
The hair with its dreadlocks, flowers and jewel come from Calico Ingmann Creations, and I have to say that I was more than a little impressed with it. Not to sound rude, but the last time I was playing with their hair I wasn't keen, it seemed kind of fluffy and flat all at once and I wasn't happy wearing it, but I saw this one on a blog and thought OOOH that looks pretty... and it REALLY does... I pulled on my new horns from 22769 that I simply love. They are gorgeous with their delicate pearls and not so delicate ropes... Such a good combination.
