Run away from all your boredom
Run away from all your whoredom and wave
Your worries, and cares, goodbye
All it takes is one decision
A lot of guts, a little vision to wave
Your worries, and cares goodbye

And there were sales again… and some new releases as well certainly!

When I got that super cute outfit from +Psycho Barbie+ – the “Mei” outfit – which comes in 3 parts (top, corset and sleeves), I immediately had a “Lolita” impression. Maybe it was the ruffles, or because it looked so cute, I have no idea. But I wanted to do a sweet look with some edges with it. Ok I have to admit, maybe “sweet” isn’t the right word, lets go with playful *giggles*

The awesome No_Cradle hairstyle from no.match, which you can find at the current round of eBENTO, just matched perfectly. It does have 2 different style options, for my post I just used the one with the hair behind the back. You have another option, where a huge wisp falls over the left side of your face, but that didn’t work too well with the cool chain veil from Six Feet Under 😉

I have to say I do enjoy my new “duty” to make pictures and blogs with the loot of my sale shopping and I will try to go on with them between the posts for my amazing sponsors – certainly you will find them featured as well in most of my looks anyway… credits as always down below 🙂

Speaking of sponsors… I better go back to my working corner as there are some super amazing new releases to showcase!

Wicca’s Originals @ CyberPunk Fair // May 2021

Wicca’s Originals @ CyberPunk Fair // May 8th – May 30th

The Rune Top is the latest offering by Wicca’s Originals. In a style that marries form to function, this fashionable and form flattering crop top is actually a smart piece of tactical equipment. The Rune Top comes equipped with an internal biomonitor, which keeps the wearer informed about breathing and heart rates, as well as ventilation to help the skin ‘breathe’ in spite of the close form fit. The rigid synthfiber is decorated with a series of plasteel panels, providing not only solid protection in and of themselves, but which are also designed to provide padding and comfort while operating an exosuit or powered armor. Anyone who has felt the pinch of powered armor weighing down on their shoulders while piloting it knows the need for this. While an incomplete suit of armor by itself, the Rune Top is an important accessory in a larger tactical kit. Comes in 10 color variations, and the brightness of the lights which indicate powered subsystems can be adjusted through different levels of brightness. The Rune Top is fitted for Maitreya Lara, Maitreya Petite, Maitreya Flat, Legacy, Legacy Perky, and Gianni bodies.

“Sometimes I’m feeling like an Alien…”

TUNES

Where did I come from? Where do I go?
I’m so far away from home
What am I going for? How can I know
What I’m fighting for?

[- Dennis Lloyd -]

“Sometimes I’m feeling like an Alien…” true words, which apply to my SL as well as to my RL!

It is amazing how SL and RL can be different sometimes and so alike on the other hand. I always was more of an outsider, as I never was able to walk with the mainstream… not SL and nor RL either. I always had my own thoughts and they never fit into a “normal” frame of view it seems. I always avoided the “either black or white” decisions and tried to find my own way through many moments and situations.

Maybe it is the little rebel inside of me that always questions, if there is only black and white and why I would have to decide. What if the truth is somewhere between black and white… what about all those shades of gray – there are so many!

Plus I always had a problem with the phrase “it is, what it is” or “because we always did it like that” – I mean if I did it myself and then come to the conclusion it is – fine! But what, if I do it and come to a different opinion? I would have missed that if I just went with what I was told. There were situations, which were not nice and maybe I should have skipped them by just believing what I was told, but on the other hand I would have not experienced other wonderful things either. I have no clue if I make any sense but I do prefer to make my own experiences and go my own ways even of they might need more time or be a little more gravelly.

So much for that and now lets take a closer look on todays pictures. I visited the CyberPunk Fair from Flair for Events again and found some more neat goodies 😉

I am a cyberpunk addicted, that isn’t a secret anymore and so events like the CyberPunk Fair are like heaven for me. As you can see in the credits below, I picked up quite some new designs there like for example that wonderful mask made by PSYCHO:Byts. The mask comes with a HUD that holds amazing possibilities for the front textures a well as for many different color options – definitely a must have for me! The cool bodysuit as well you will find at the event, made by AURORA. You can change the lights and textures via a HUD too and so it will match to all kind of styles and colors. What caught my attention was the cool neck/head tattoo from Tristan Flinders, which comes with the option of materials as well.

Certainly I had to pair all the new goodies with some of my all time favorites like the cool body tattoo from Nefekalum Tattoos, which as well comes with amazing materials and in many different colors.

And in the end I fell totally in love with that little “Alien Monkey” from Black Cat Creations. You will find that on the CyberPunk Fair, but as well at the main store. This little, awesome pet comes in different colors (HUD), if you decide for the fatpack and has a wonderful pose for each of them including a mirrored version – so 5 poses plus their mirrors… 10 in total!

I still have the feeling that wasn’t my last post for the CyberPunk Fair as I already spied “a few” more things that caught my attention *giggles*

New Ventures…

New Ventures…

I gave myself a new duty since I realized, that I do have a shopping addiction when it comes to sales. I am sure you all know that feeling, if you go and look at sales you will find a reason for each and every item you like, so you can buy it. But ever so often I fund stuff I bought weeks or month later, still unpacked in my inventory, because I forgot about them for quite a while. That doesn’t make them bad or ugly, but it makes me sad that I saw things, liked them and then forgot about them. So I made it a new rule to use everything I buy, at least once for a picture… we will see how that goes, but I am positive about it for now and already didn’t shop as crazy as usual for the past 2 weeks *giggles*

So this is my first post for some “private” fun… with some of my prey from my last shopping tours *giggles*

Since I felt the freedom to not have to be specific about something I thought I could practice my “built a set and nit just use a backdrop” skills and went a little crazy with all kind of deco and furniture from DRD, NOMAD, 22769 and some more – I do have to admit, first I thought it is too cluttered, but then I did really like it 🙂

This is just the beginning of a new venture for me, so I am sure there will follow some more until I know, if it was a good idea or not… but that only time will show *winks*

TUNES

The one that you fear is so close
The woman tattooed with the rose
Claws that are sharp, she’ll tear you apart
Make you into food for the crows

Revenge is her aim, she’ll make you pay
She talks a mean game and she’ll blow you away

Get out of town as soon as you can
You don’t want to face the Queen of the Damned

“When you understand the Nature of a Thing, you know what it’s capable of.”

You can’t keep denying what you are, man. You think the humans will ever accept a half-breed like you? They can’t. They’re afraid of you. And they should be. You’re an animal, you’re a fuckin’ maniac!

Yay, Cyber/Punk by Flair for Events again opened its doors. It always feels like Christmas if a Cyberpunk themed event opens its gates with all the amazing goodies you can find there! Most likely it won’t be the only post about that awesome event, but I do have to start somewhere *giggles*

The cool pants and boots are a fabulous combo from AsteroidBox for this event. They come together in one pack and even for the single colors you have 16 colors/patterns to choose from. Each color already includes a huge HUD with many details to customize boots, knee pads, belts, leg strap, plus the neon details. For the fatpack you even can mix and match the styling of the leg sleeves individually and you can decide if you want to wear the pants, boots or hip circles all together or just parts of it. For today’s post i just skipped the neon circles at the hips, but I am sure they will come up in one of my next posts *winks* The “Nella Pants & Boots” are rigged for Maitreya Lara, Belleza Freya, Legacy Female.

Another awesome release are the huge but (yes I found out while I was shooting) gentle giants. They are part of an awesome posing set from Black Cats Creations, which you as well will find at the Cyber/Punk event. You can choose between 5 amazing detailed giants with poses for each of them and you even can recolor the monster if you go for the fatpack.

There are so many exciting releases and designs available at the Cyber/Punk event, you should bring time and a huge wallet to not miss out any of them *winks*

Maybe see you there?
