I used to hunt every day... I'd always be treasure hunting and became something of a pro trying to get in to at least two a week, but I've since stopped hunting like crazy and now will only add to my heaving inventory if it's something that is a must have...
The something that I wanted to share with you this time was the awesome hat from FreakyDesign... I LOVE this store, it's full of crazy and fun designs!
So the hat that looks remarkably like Snoopy, just happened to be the hunt prize that dragged me away from my home and into the SL outside world to go find it... I needed the hat, I couldn't go another day without it and it looks so good on me doesn't it? Hehe

The Christmas Holidays are over, a New Year has begun and 2014 should be a good year for me... I can now ruminate, pondering about the last few weeks and the recent events that have been affecting my mood, while speculating about the year ahead!
Have a pretty picture before I pour my ramblings from my head into print hehe...
The outfit I pulled together has been another look of the day, and my goodness I said I was never going to be capable of making those...This dress comes from my new girlie style crush store, Mag<3.B. and comes in a variety of colours, though this one seemed to suit me best! The photo itself seemed to make me feel as though it was thought provoking, and boy do I have a lot of thinking to do sometimes...
Bare with me if you want to know those thoughts, if not, have a VERY relaxing start to 2014. I hope it brings you lots of happiness and luck.
Now for the thoughts...
2013 was a big year for me... There were lots of Ups and lots of Downs too, but let's start on a high note. HellBone proposing in RL was probably the biggest one for me, right there in the middle of EuroDisney surrounded by thousands of people he got down on one knee and all I could say was "what the fuck are you doing?" LOL... 2014 will be the big year for us as we tie the knot in April. What I wanted to be a small wedding has grown a little and now - although not epically huge - it will be bigger than originally planned! I am not sure I am totally ready for this though, I mean we've been like a married couple for a while now but making it official, seems kinda daunting and as someone who never ever thought about getting married, having masses of conversations about things like flowers and food is just mind boggling!
The MC that HellBone set up has been reaching new heights, with an ever expanding circle of members and allies. I am doing a lot of work to keep it going for him, and it often keeps me on my toes but I get along with the members and can call them a family of sorts...
Talking of family though, you might have noticed a change in our SL family line up... We've still got two kids but they have morphed into different looking kids lol... This shake-up was definitely one of the lowest points of my year - sounds silly to admit that but it's true - not that I would replace my son Liquid for anything now. Things happened that I won't dredge up here, it was the fault of two individual parties and now that the wounds are healing - at least on my part - I miss the other person involved. I don't think we could ever be family after what passed with us, but I miss her as a friend, someone who I could talk to and someone who always understood my quirky side.
I have progressed as a blogger, and my photos have definitely improved since last year, but I hope to keep growing as far as that is concerned, and who knows what kind of things I may be able to pull off with it this year.
Anyway, enough of a ramble, but I just wanted to say Happy New Year to everyone and I hope that 2014 rocks for you!!!!

The last day of 2013 is upon us and already in Holland they are sending fireworks up... It is only 11am here at the moment and the fireworks have been going off for a few hours! Why bother sending up fireworks at this time of day? You can't see them!!
So I decided to share just a little bit of winter colour today, before the real colour explosion starts when the daylight fades!
So yes, the colours come from the flowers and I LOVE flowers... I decided I wanted big gerbera daisies like these in my wedding bouquet and I never thought I'd be able to talk about something like that LOL... But the outfit was in fact inspired by this gorgeous smoking jacket from The Sinners Crossroad, that Kenzee said I had to buy at the recent Chapter Four event... This is a totally new store to me but the patterns on the jackets that were available may well prove enough to pull me into checking out the rest of their collection... I simply love the bright poppy pattern of this jacket! I kept it simple, no jewellery and my favourite One Bad Pixel leather pants, but then had to add the adorable Axix Skyfall headband with its pretty angel wings to bring just that last little bit of festivity!
I hope everyone has a wonderful celebration tonight, whether you are going out or staying home, waiting up or seeing the new year in with your eyes closed... I wish 2014 will bring you lots of love and laughter and that you have an even better year than the one that's just passed - my goodness how quickly it passed feels like only yesterday, I was writing last years post LOL!

Trying to gather this lot in one place at one time is like trying to get a photo of all the ants in an ants nest, it seems to be almost nigh on impossible. BUT, I finally did it! We went on a ride on the weekend and almost everyone was there... SO, here it is, our MC Family Photograph!
What started out as a small MC back in February, has been through many changes in it's time of being open and active. Faces have come and gone, but those who have joined us are fun and bring new ideas that helped to drag the MC in new directions and into pastures new. We have a great team around us now, and the MC has brought my new kids into my life - both Kenz and Liquid are now members of the group - and my big sister Juli, as well as a whole heap of biker brothers and sisters.
Now, here's the sales pitch... If you have ever thought about joining or are even remotely interested in bikes in SL, this group of people - probably not me by the way - would be a great group to teach you the basics, and have a fun time with you whilst doing so... If you would be interested please feel free to contact me and I will see how we can arrange something! Anyone is welcome, from seasoned bikers, to complete novices...
Ah kids, don't you just love them LOL... After a few changes in the family line-up recently, something which will be discussed at a later date I am sure, I seem to have found myself the mother of a set of crazy ass and oh so cute twins.
One I already had, the other found her, who then dragged him kicking and screaming to us LOL... Let me introduce my terrible twosome... Liquid and Kenzee...
Aren't they adorable?! Kenzee finally managed to pin her brother down to grab shoot a photo, normally the boy has ants in his pants or something and will not sit still for very long, so I am frankly amazed that she did it hehe...
They are like peas in a pod, scarily alike and anyone who saw them together might be tricked into thinking they are RL twins. They both have the dress sense - similar styles at least and changing more often than their dad with his new outfit every year or so lol - creativity, and amazing personalities full of charisma, sensitivity, caring and humour from their mum... But luckily for them, their dad shared with them his ability to love a certain song about a Fox. Oh and unfortunately, Liquid also seems to be developing some symptoms of his dad's love of fart jokes!
Both of them are little angels - although OK some people might well disagree with that - and though they are both now going through the motions of the "I'm the favourite" argument, I am stating here and now, that they are both terrors and I love them LOL...
What are they wearing;
(I cannot say anything about what Kenz and Liquid are wearing, but if they have something on you want to know about please feel free to ask and I will find out for you!)
Hair: DeLa - Sophie in Blacks and Whites
Skin: Glam Affair - Candy Skin in America 09 (Past Arcade Item)
Face Wounds: (Right Eye) Corvus - Scarred Face Tattoo, (Left Cheek) Corvus - Cheek Scars

Boots: BAX - Regency Boots in White Leather
Bear: Boogers - Angel Bear (Available now at The Arcade)
Pose: Juxtapose - Mean Girls
When I was at school I knew a set of twins called Hope and Faith. Both of them never really seemed to fit with their name sakes... One always seemed hopeless and the other always seemed to never have faith in anything... So when I found this pose - from Juxtapose - buried deep in my inventory not only was I brought back to thinking about them but I was reminded of two key words that should take center stage in life... Words that I might have forgotten as of late...
Gosh that sounds a little melancholy, but really I am in a positive mood. I am hopeful about the year to come - no matter what life throws at me - and I have faith in myself that I am strong enough to climb over any bump or hurdle that stands in my way...
I also have some hope that my SL wardrobe can be tidied up a little bit - I used to be obsessive about having it tidy, now things seem to have slipped a little and it is driving me bonkers! - but the faith I should have in myself that I will get it tidy seems to be failing LOL... Even I don't believe myself when I tell myself that hehe...
This was another one of those Look of the Day outfits - I seem to be creating those more and more often! - and I loved it so much... Who'd have thought one of my favourite outfits of late would be because of cigarette glasses inspired by Lady Gaga?! The glasses are available from Death Row Designs. The rest of my look was kept somewhat simple... New hair from Ploom called Khloe - that was part of their 12 Days of Christmas New Releases Event - and simple knotted jewellery in the form of the Shadow Lord Choker from Ronsem - a FREE group gift by the way - and the Loa Happy Magic Skulls Necklace from Maxi Gossamer. Clothing wise, I wore my favourite leather pants from One Bad Pixel and excuse the blood but a brand new tied white shirt from Corvus that had been available at a past Fi*Friday event!!!
My real question is, after all this rambling, has anyone got a fire extinguisher handy, ya know, just in case?

Christmas for us this year was great... We ate too much because I cooked a freaking awesome Christmas dinner complete with all the trimmings of a traditional English Christmas, I got spoilt by Santa and had far too many presents, and everyone - including my somewhat grumpy mother-in-law - had a really good time!
Though I often wondered when I was little just what Santa gets up to after he has done all his work... I mean OK he may need a holiday - I don't know when he is expected to go back to work again, how long does it take to set up what he does? LOL - but I will share a little secret... Zombie Santa takes his vacation in the Gators Swamp!!
I saw him chillaxing by the fire, reclining lazily in HellBone's presidential seat, but I had to get a little closer to see what he was playing with... It turns out that Zombie Santa likes playing with puppets...
These puppets - which I believe are from Curio Obscura - make chatty noises as a typing animation... It made me laugh for a while watching HellBone dressed in his favourite seasonal avatar from Little Britain, playing with these things... Soon I realised that he was using them as a way of ignoring myself and our sister Juli - we would be chatting and he would be mimicking us with these puppets... I wonder how long it will last before he gets in big trouble!!!
