NOH8

(Models left to right: Arisia Ashmoot, Tandra Parx, Wicca Merlin, Photographer: Kaliope Faith)

On November 4, 2008 Proposition 8 passed in California, amending the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage. The defeat provoked a groundswell of initiative within the GLBT community.

The NOH8 Campaign is a photographic silent protest created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska (http://www.bouska.net) and partner Jeff Parshley in direct response with duct tape over their mouths, symbolizing their voices being silenced by the prop8 and with the words “NOH8” painted on their cheeks in protest.

Nearly two years since its inception, the NOH8 Campaign has grown to over 5,500 faces and continues to grow at an exponential rate expanding its reach. The campaign that began with portraits of everyday Californians from all walks of life and soon rose to include politicians, military personnel, newlyweds, law enforcement, artists, celebrities, and now Second Life community is also joining. A humble effort to strengthen the voices and fight for the rights of those who are victims of mere prejudice.

Great news from Body Talking for all shoe addicts!

I had the great pleasure to pose for the newest release of  Body Talking :)! Arisia Ashmoot created a wonderful set for all who are shoe addicted… like me! 😉 This is a perfect set to get your shoes in the center of view… !

Different poses like standings, sits and also lying ones make it possible to cover any view that let your shoes look best 🙂

Arisia Ashmoot: “The other day when I saw Mea Culpa‘s new creation I got the inspiration for this new set of 10 poses to showcase every women’s big addiction… shoes…. and of course, mine too… “Shoes addicted” is an editorial set of poses specially designed to present those amazing shoes we all love, with also different styles of body postures to better fit the style of the shoes themselves… from fierce, to innocent and always fashionable.”

“Shoes addicted” has also variations for some of the poses, available only as single items, to showcase the outfits that goes with the shoes…

Even if this set is thought as an editorial set of poses, they all have the characteristic smooth transitions all Body Talking creations have.

You can find and try “Shoes addicted” at Body Talking Mainstore; or at the satellite store at Maritima Inc. and you can also find the fat packs available in Xstreet!

Sneak Preview – Mea Culpa Shoes!

Lastly as I was straightening up the laboratory of Tatanka Kaligawa a bit I suddenly stumbled over something… I looked down and..it was a single shoe..I was wondering how this came up here as he usually does not have ladies up in his laboratory but mine it were not too.. and I never saw himself in heels*winks* … I looked closer and saw a Mea Culpa logo on the sole…

My boss made shoes!!! I looked around but no one was there and he told me he would be out for a walk to get his head free for new ideas..and this can take time 😉 I searched for the second of that animal print shoes and before I found it I grabbed another pair from under his desk…

A sweet pair of ankle boots with a great texture and amazing accessories…

Again I saw the Mea Culpa logo on the sole and smiled..thinking on how I can smuggle them out of his laboratory…suddenly I found the second one of the animal print one and right beside another pair…

Wow! another pair of ankle boots with a fantastic heel…

Suddenly I heard the key at the door..he was coming back..I grabbed those 3 pairs and run out to the back door..

But as far as I know Tatanka it will not take long till the shoes will be available at the Mea Culpa Mainstore 😉

Mystical or Colorful?

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – Black Widdow, Skin: Nuuna’s, Pose: Body Talking, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

“Black Widdow” is the latest release of Tatanka Kaligawa, designer of Mea Culpa. A beautiful black and mystical gown that turns heads everywhere. The long gown is decorated with amazing silver ornaments that go over the whole outfit. The prims that are attached in the back give a lightly asian touch, and make a wonderful transparent contrast. The big “fan” looking back parts are lightly transparent and wonderful flexible and move behind with every step you take. The clothing layers are made of amazing detailed textures that give the whole gown a fantastic formal and sophisticated touch. The shoulders carries very noble and lightly puffy sleeves. A total eye catcher is the hat. it is connected to the spine and “hovers” over your head. Lace hangs down in the back and the front is decorated with light silver lines. On the top of the hat you can find 2 awesome flowers that add a lightly sweet touch as a sweet contrast to the spiky, silver neck collar.

On every ballroom event or dinner party you will be the center of view with that fabulous gown!

My second outfit from Mea Culpa for today is a totally contrast to the first one 😉

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – Noite do Brasil, Skin: Baiastice, Pose: Body Talking, Model: Dancer Dallagio, Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

“Noite do Brasil” is a colorful outfit for the brave and color loving fashionista…the Carnival in Rio, or even for the special showgirl that wants to be outstanding 😉

The body itself is only covered by a wonderful short body suit without sleeves. At the belly you have an awesome gold framed space where you can show off wonderful belly jewels also 😉 The center for this outfit is definitely the back where the big, fluffy pink and purple parts and feathers are attached.  The hips are ornamented with little feathers too. The feet are covered by 2 pink parts too what bring the theme of the outfit lovely back at the bottom. Silver, spiky additions are the ankle parts, the shoulder attachments, the chest decoration and the fabulous head jewelry. A combination of noble metal and feathers make the perfect head pice for this extraordinary design!

In the end I would like to thank the amazing lady that was posing for the “Noite do Brasil” – Dancer Dallagio. She looked so perfect in that amazing design that I had to ask her if she would pose for that pics 😉

News at Gasqhe – “Elizabeth”

Again I have the great pleasure to show you one of the latest creations of Gasqhe. “Elizabeth” is available in 3 different colors; graffiti, gold & white.

For this post I was deciding on the “Elizabeth” in graffiti. A wonderful straight and clear gown. The top is made if a darker shade of grey what makes an awesome contrast to the lighter grey skirt. The skirt is made of 2 prim attachments. It starts tight at the hips and becomes wider as it goes down to the ground.

The top has a sweet texture with an amazing light and shadow game that let imagine little vertical folds. It has no lines on the shoulder and shows of a lot of skin what makes space for a lovely jewelry 😉  Also part of the whole outfit is the wonderful necklace. Different long strings that are loosingly hung down the cleavage.

Take the next taxi to Gasqhe and see the other colors and the beautiful creations in their Mainstore 🙂

News at Stiletto Moody: Look for the day – Star for the night ;)

Today I have again fantastic news from Stiletto Moody. One of the latest releases from Stiletto Moody – “Bare Olivia”

“Olivia” is one of the great new releases that Stiletto Moody has lastly… the others will follow on my blog also 😉 The design of this one catched my eyes as it has a very filigree foot and an amazing covered ankle. The back of this design has an awesome eye catcher in the back… the heel is open and a lovely detailed ribbon closes the lines that decorate the ankle part. Again we have lovely options for the nails in different colors and also the sweet toe rings that you can color silver or gold. If you decide to get the upgrade pack you get more nail colors and some lovely tattoos in different shapes, like i have them in my pics for example starts or hearts or also that great rose that we can see in the first pic of this post 🙂 If you cannot decide wich color suits you best… just get the fatpack and you have all the great colors and also the amazing color combinations that you need to fit every outfit that you can think of 😉 To match the skin color to your skin you can use the menu that is located in the left shoe. It is very simple. You can choose one of the color presets and if you skin is still lightly different you have the option to add or less the RGB in little steps till it matches, or you can use the direct input what makes it even easier to hit the RGB of your own skin color.

Again Stiletto Moody made a wonderful high heel that lets every ladies heart beat higher…and I guess the male ones too as they can see their ladies walk in them 😉

Wicca’s Wardrobe – every girl wants to be an angel …sometimes :)

Every girl tries to be an angel sometimes for several reasons 😉 I tried to mix and match some that explained my feelings today and I searched trough my wardrobe…

I first put on that wonderful top with the cute gold little wing on the left shoulder that I got from Glam Affair, called “Zory black/cream body”. For the pants I decided to wear part of the Diram “X.Tina -not herself tonight – 2”

I felt that I would need a belt to complete the outfit and I just got on the PACADI Jasha “Mairey Leather Belt” in black. What could fit the golden /cream angel wing better than the golden “Prestige Leather Boots” from BAX.

As all know I am addicted to the Mandala I chose to wear the “Hannya” necklace and the “Buddha” Bangles and nails with the matching rings. Also from Mandala are the “Shaka” earrings that fit perfect to the outfit as all jewelry parts are black with an amazing shine.

The hair for this look is the 3636 “Eden” style that adds a light wild and rebel touch 😉

Stay styled 😉

News at Aimesi – Leona was born ;)

Mea Carnell,designer of Aimesi Skins, again brings us a wonderful new skin line – “Leona”

“Leona” comes with 6 different makeups. All with a very light and “girly” like makeup. Rose , pink and light red lips and light-colored eyeshadow. The body as we know it from Aimesi skins is designed very real with not too much light and glow what makes them look so realistic.

This makeups are perfect for an everyday look. The lights and shadows are perfectly set. Mea Carnell again showed off her eye for the detail and also her skills if it comes to the skills or textures and light variations for makeups.

I felt very honored as I was one of the lucky ones that received a special makeup of the “Leona” skin that Mea Carnell gave out for friends so that i will not skip this one here 🙂

I just can tell that it is really worth it to make your way to the Aimesi Mainstore and maybe get your demo to try 😉
