Modeling poses by Morphine

Lately I discovered that Hadaluna Daines started her own business with making modeling poses. So for sure I made my way over to the Morphine Mainstore to take a look on her poses. I really have to say she does an awesome job with her poses. I IMed her to tell her that and she immediately sent me one of her sets. I was very happy and honored and for sure I have to show you this awesome poses…

Morphine poses can be used for runway and as well for photography. The smooth transitions let you shine on the runway and make a wonderful performance. What I like most is that the poses are a bit out of the box and not the same ones that you can find again and again. Hadaluna seems daring enough to try something new and I would say with success πŸ™‚ I am sure that this pose set is not the last (ok it was not the first as well) that I got from Morphine. If you wanna try by yourself make your way to the Morphine Mainstore πŸ™‚

Fantastic new outfit from Yasum!!!

Again I have wonderful news from Yasum. One of the latest releases of Azlyn Vaher is called “Day Out” and it totally matches its name πŸ˜‰ “Day Out” is the perfect outfit for the actual winter season.

High-waisted pants combined with a wonderful jacket. I would like to take a closer look at the totally awesome jacket. The sculpted prims are perfectly attached to the body so that for a reason this jacket nearly does not move if you are in motion… Usually jackets like this, for example with animations of your AO or even dances move weird through your body… the “Day Out” jacket does not! At the awesome fluffy fur wrist parts again we see the incredible designing skills of Azlyn Vaher. She indeed has an eye for the little and cute details, what makes her clothing so outstanding. The same texture gets repeated at the wonderful neck collar of the jacket. “Day Out” is available in the light version, wich I have here on my blog and as well in a darker version. So anyways what you like more you will find it at the Yasum Mainstore πŸ˜‰

And again I would like to zoom closer, to see the amazing glasses I am wearing for this outfit. For longer I had my eyes on a store called Crie Style. This fantastic store made glasses and eye wear I never saw before. The glasses are so unbelievable detailed in many parts and the wild ideas of different eye wear is just incredible! For today I chose one of the Crie Style glasses called “Garbo” The beautiful glasses can be worn to nearly every style you can imagine, as they are so soft and filigree, that they go with nearly everything you mix and match. With a HUD you can change the look of the lenses and some other appearance depending on the model of the glasses. I rarely saw glasses like this and Luxury Eyewear hits the nail on the head πŸ™‚

Winter Dreams with Finesmith and SAS!!!

One of the latest releases of Sascha’s Design was the “Roodvosje” gown here shown in lavender. Again this gown has many possibilities for the skirt as we know it from Sascha’s Design πŸ™‚

This delicate textured gown got me in a huge winter princess feeling so what could go better with that amazing shining dress then one of the latest releases by Finesmith… but first lets take a closer look at the gown πŸ™‚ The texture is a masterpiece and it shows again the amazing skills of Sascha Frangilli if it comes to textures and design. The huge shoulder part makes a wonderful cleavage and gives a wonderful dreamy touch. The skirt wishes lightly over the ground while you walk and gives a very elegant feeling.

Now the attention goes to this amazing jewelry… as I mentioned earlier it is one of the latest releases by Finesmith. Yula did a wonderful “Snowflake” set. This amazing set is made of so many little prims… I wonder that yula not gets crazy with all that little parts sometimes :p This set really again shows her creativity and sense for style and design. This snowflakes are so detailed and really look like as they were just taken from an iced window… now to something very great yula has on her jewelry…

As you can see the jewelry is fully colorable. That comes because yula makes the effort and puts menu in her colorsets… this menu let you change the metals as well as the gems and even in more than one color for this set. The metals are not just silver and gold, you will find way more colors like sky, pink, black and copper only for the metals, what already gives you a huge range of possibilities for matching your clothing. For the “Snowflake” set you have the option to change the gems in 2 parts as you can see on the pic. So the whole jewelry set is totally menu driven for all parts – earrings, bracelet, ring and necklace… yes I used the bracelet for my forehead and head on this gown*grins*

So make your way to Sascha’s Design and Finesmith to get your personal winter princess look πŸ˜‰

Wicca’s Wardrobe: LOTD 11/29/2011 – Mother of Darkness

Yesterday, again I made my way to the DAB Studios, owned by Daron Brandeis. He was IMing me, if I would have time for a shooting. A designer booked a commercial picture and he wanted me to style and model it. As I arrived, the designer was there and we had a short talk about what she wanted to have, the after all was cleared she left.

We did a few test shots to show her later and as we finished I was fooling around with a few looks and styles I created before as, I heard Daron freaking out about my actual outfit. Again it was clear that our crazy minds are not that far from each other and he started building a stand up little set. I put on the funny lightballs again and got very excited about, what he has in mind… I suddenly saw electric lights between my hands and instantly put on my glowy blue eyes… one word gave the other and I heard the camera going again and again… and what came out… was so incredible I have no words for…

Then suddenly I got a notecard from Pindar, who was sitting and watching the photography session… I had no clue that he writes and was hell touched by what just came up his mind watching the shooting. I asked him if I may use his little “poem” for the blog as it says more than 1000 words I could do…

Mother of Darkness by Pindar Kanya

I walk the spaces
between the worlds
and stalk the ebon reaches beyond Time
universes come into being
between the possibilities of my Will
to Be…or not to Be…there is no question
for I decide
what will and will not Be
I am the Smiter of Gods
the Eater of Worlds
and the Mother of Darkness
I call and the stars answer
I smile
and Darkness covers a thousand worlds
I wait for all beings
in the places where all fear to look
deep within
that raw, primal, ancient space
I stand
and one day…your final day
long after Death takes you…
you will see my face

Finesmith Muse 2012 – Semi Finale Review

Yesterday, on the 27th of November, the semi finals for the Finesmith Muse 2012 took place. I was allowed to be one of the lucky ones to be part of it . We got a very nice challenge and rules for our styling.

Yula send out a NC with the requests she had for all of the contestants. The theme was fantasy but still being human, so not having fantasy skins… some people told me that this is my theme to go wild with horns and wings and stuff… so I wanted to go completely different and not doing what people expect from me :p. So I took the risk to go for cute and fairytale *grins* rare but there πŸ˜‰

As well I wanted to redo as many jewelry attachments to use them as a different thing as they usually were thought for. So the great “Victorian Secrets” earrings became my dolly ballet shoes, The “Jellyfish” headpiece became the dolly skirt and as well parts of the bracelets. Then a windup dolly needs a wind up key so I just took the “Victorian Secret” necklace, turned it around and made it way bigger before I attached it to my back ;). The collar inspired by Blackliquid went on my head, got turned around and turned into a hat πŸ™‚

To make the fantasy fairytale complete I had the idea of a lonely sad windup dolly locked away in her glass cage and my genius sister Rhonda Pennell helped me with the story and proper english πŸ˜‰ Thank you sissy!

Few of us can resist the magical power of a full moon shining brightly in the otherwise dark hours of the night…for some, it means sleepless wandering, for others, a metamorphosis. But for one single doll, a wind-up doll locked in a glass cage, it means a taste of freedom.

You see, our lovely doll, Wicca Merlin, was betrayed by the young, dashing prince she once loved. The prince was very charming and swept Wicca off her feet from the start, but he soon met another woman who was a beautiful but cunning witch, and he began spending more time with her and less with Wicca.

Poor Wicca! Her sweet, innocent soul unable to withstand the raging waves of jealousy, she became enraged and locked the prince away, letting him out only once every month on a full moon – for it was the most romantic time that Wicca could imagine spending with him. But the young witch found out, and before long, she and the prince schemed against our doll to doom her to the same fate.

Cursed, Wicca must now endure long, lonely hours in her glass cage, its door unlocking only on a moonlit night. But she must return before sunrise when the door once again closes, or she will perish in an instant.

Tonight the door opens once more, and our doll steps out in all of her shining Finesmith beauty. She takes a breath of the fresh, cool air, spreading her arms decorated with “Buckleup Jellyfish” bracelets like wings unfolding, and slowly begins to twirl. Her “Jellyfish”dolly skirt, her “Victorian Secret”ballet shoes, her “Leah”corset and even the hair with the “Blackliquid” hat, all sparkling and glistening under the moonlight, making her feel beautiful – and hopeful that perhaps this time, this very night, at last she might find a true love to rescue her from the confines of the glass cage forever, for only true love can break the curse.

The hours pass by, and lovely Wicca enjoys rare moments of happiness as she runs through the forest, and once even passes by a small pond where frogs croak softly by the edge and fish chase each other below the water, all doused in a silver moonlight glow. Or is the glow coming from our doll herself? She gently dips a finger in the water and giggles, as tiny circles spread from the center and grow larger, momentarily distorting her reflection.

But morning comes quickly, and in growing despair Wicca realises that she must once again return to the glass box. A single tear drops from her eye like a liquid diamond…She turns around once more, then steps inside as the door begins to close. As she prepares to go to sleep for another month, a soft glow remains, emanating from her Finesmith outfit – a glow of hope for eventual salvation.

The End

In Memoriam of Freddy Mercury

Freddie Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara (5 September 1946 – 24 November 1991) was a British musician, singer and songwriter, best known as the lead vocalist of the rock band Queen. As a performer, he was known for his flamboyant stage persona and powerful vocals over a four-octave range. As a songwriter, Mercury composed many hits for Queen, including “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “Killer-Queen”, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” and “We are the Champions”. In addition to his work with Queen, he led a solo career, penning hits such as “Barcelona”, “I was born to love You” and “Living on my Own”. Mercury also occasionally served as a producer and guest musician (piano or vocals) for other artists. He died of bronchopneumonia brought on by AIDS on 24 November 1991, only one day after publicly acknowledging he had the disease.” (Wikipedia)

Today 20 years ago, one of the most genius musician with one of the most famous voices, lost his life to his disease. GizzA right in time did this wonderful “Freddy Mercury” inspiration.

RIP Freddy!!!
