SoliDea FoliEs, White Widow & h.m.a.e.m. for the Couturier’s Docks

Today I am happy to do my first blog post for the Couturier’s Docks πŸ™‚ As mentioned before in a another post, this is a very special event that features a few designers and some very special designs πŸ™‚ (http://wiccamerlin.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/the-couturiers-docks/)

Today I just mixed and matched a few of them together as I liked the cute look that came out πŸ™‚

The dress comes from SoliDea FoliEs and is called “Polly Doll” and it was made for this event. The outfit contains the gloves, the neck part that goes down over the shoulders and the cute corset. To make it easier to wear the corset, Mila Tatham included an alpha layer for that part of the body.

The hat looks like it was made for that outfit but it is not actually part of it. the hat comes off the house of h.m.a.e.m. and it looks perfect to the “Polly Doll” outfit.

Last but not least, Julie Hastings – owner and designer of White Widow – created an amazing facetattoo for the Couturier’s Docks. The “Feather” tattoo is available in different colors and you always have the option of wearing it with or without an eyeshadow.

You should not miss that amazing and special event on the SaliMar Sim (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SaliMar/61/194/23)

Culture Shock!!!

I made it to the Culture Shock sim… finally and I have to admit… you can go broke there *grins* So many designers made amazing new creations and items for that fashion event.

Β Β Β  The 2nd annual culture shock event opened on May 4th 2012 and will close at the 26th of May. The event is meant as a charity for Doctors Without Borders (known also as MΓ©decins Sans FrontiΓ¨res). This new event will feature art, music and of course – Fashion.

Every store has a mandatory participation of one NEW and EXCLUSIVE (for the duration of the event) item that gives 50 – 100% of the profits to the charity, however because last year we asked for THREE items, most people have more than the minimum.

To start with something I combined the “Lozenges” dress in black and white from [Sakide] with the amazing “Brera” heels from YS&YS. But there are so many new releases and wonderful designs, that I have to part my Culture Shock styles in more then one blog post :p

In the meanwhile you can go and shop yourself crazy at the Culture Shock Sim (http://slurl.com/secondlife/CHIC/127/133/6)

Dragon Dreams with Ezura

I know it is a bit late but again SL ate some of the things, that I got sent for blogging. As I lately talked to Ezura Xue, owner and highly skilled designer of Ezura, she asked me if I would not have liked her items for the Fantasy Faire… and I thought she was kidding me… Ezura items PLUS fantasy… that would be me πŸ˜‰

The “Dragoness” outfit really let my heart beat higher… I love dragons πŸ™‚ The idea to have dragon heads on arms and o the head totally catched my interest and I started fooling around with stylings. After trying different ideas I remembered the “Shinobu” set from Finesmith, hat as well has dragon heads as its focus. the colors black and red are my personal favourite colors anyways so I just tried to find more of my fantasy styling accessories… The hooves might be not dragon like but for fantasy all is allowed
πŸ˜‰ The Fantasy Faire will close this weekend as far as I know, so if you wanna grab one of that fantastic outfits hurry over πŸ˜‰

Loovus Dzevavor & ANTURE for the Ashraya Project

Dress: ANTURE – “Sarame” – NEW (exclusive dress for the Ashraya Project)

“The Sarame dress is 100% rigged mesh. It features India’s National Bird the Peacock (hand painted), along with traditional images. The aim of the design was to bring traditional Indian imagery to western fashion. In India the Peacock is a symbol of beauty, joy, grace and love. It is this that inspired me to create the Sarame dress after all every man, woman and child is beautiful and deserving of joy and love, therefor I wanted the dress to be graceful in its design, just like the peacock. I hope you enjoy the dress as much as I enjoyed making it.” (Temperance Kellman, ANTURE – CEO & Designer)

Maniera Casting: YAY! I made it :)

Last Week I had the pleasure to b allowed to come to the live casting of Maniera. Maniera was a dream for me for a long time and I was very happy, that I made it through the first round and was invited to the live castings.

Maniera always stood for some extraordinary for me. The magazine they do, always was made in high quality and the models who are working there are all wonderful girls and guys with a great sense of fashion and style.

The live casting had a very cool theme and it was told in a little story so that I would like to just steal the words off the NC I got from Katherine Comet (Yes, I asked her and I may use them she said. Thanks for that Kat πŸ˜‰ )

“Theme:

Your talent agent has gotten you an audition to be a supporting role in a Jungle Safari Thriller movie as the sidekick assistant to the leading actor who is a Detective trying to solve the case of a missing person.Β  You’ve been told you would be carrying all of the detective’s paraphernalia but you have to look good doing it.Β  You really want to knock their socks off with your knowledge and incredible ability to look like you’ve β€œbeen there, done that.”  Your audition will take place on location, IN THE JUNGLE, so you have to be prepared.

You know you have to be practical; the bugs and animals are out in full force but have been told you may not use any prim material which covers your face!Β  You MUST get this job as your career depends on it.

How would you dress and be prepared for the perils of jungle life, but still look the part of the supporting role in this major movie production? Β 
Β Β Β Β  Β 
You’ve been given the storyline and requirements; now roll with it, have fun and good luck!”

The challenge it self was great fun for me. I tried to slip into that role and thought about it very seriously.. about not having high heels walking through a jungle and carry stuff around, about all the bugs and little animals that would eat me up if my clothing would be too short and show too much skin… all that stuff. And while I was searching through my inventory all that old movies like Indiana Jones, Crocodile Dundee, The Mummy and many more came into my mind and slowly a look was born. Thanks to all of the judges that made one of my dreams come true and took me to Maniera as a proud Maniera Model πŸ™‚
