Cherries!

Do you know that feeling? When you unpack something and immediately get an idea in front of your inner eye, what this should look like on your pictures? Usually I do not have that too often with my first piece that I put on, but sometimes it happens πŸ˜‰

Today it was the case when I put on the Sakushi outfit and cap from Entice. I have no idea why – I did not see that movie in ages – but when I looked at it, I had a scene in mind from the movie ‘Catch me if you can’. The moment when Leonardo DiCaprio walked into the airport with all this blue dressed stewardesses. Maybe it was the cap and as well the vintage touch of that cherries, but I was stuck with that thought in my head.

 

As usual, that idea did not work out as I found no vintage airport that went with my 50s/60s idea for my picture. So I went back to my platform and tried to built me a set, that at least catches the vibe of what I wanted to do.

While I was rezzing all kind of things I remembered the propellers I got at one of the last FLF from NOMAD and they completely rocked. When I found them all the rest fell into place really easy πŸ˜‰

Now I needed shoes, that went with my idea and when I saw the “Heidi Slingbacks” from [Gos], I first was curing as on the picture they only had flower prints showing and I could not imagine flower prints with my cherry dress. But, when I opened them and saw all the amazing different HUDs, I was doing the happy dance. when I found out that the red of the ‘Boutique HUD’ even matched the red of the cherries, I was sold πŸ˜‰

When I was done with the pictures, I did some sim hopping and while I was roaming around,I found that fabulous “Time Portal”Β  location, with all those different mini locations of all kind themes and times and there was one 50s location too! They had a wonderful diner and as well this cute little pet shop, which you can see in the background of the first picture. As if it would have been fate, there was a bench with some really cool animations in front of it. One of the poses even had a vintage newspaper as a prop and I could not resist to just add one more picture in for this post.

I have to go back and explore this place some more and see what other cool posts I could do with inspiration of different centuries πŸ˜‰

Cute News by Ezura!!!

Ezura‘s latest release really is one of the most cute things I got lately. The sweet “Lolita Latex” dress really touched my ‘dolly heart’ πŸ˜‰ I had to style it the cute way at least once πŸ™‚ The short latex, flexi skirt perfectly goes with the “Lolita Latex” boots (sold seperately) in color and style. The corsage makes a strict and tight contrast to the puffy ruffles and the little brooch of the top.

As we know from Ezura, she always acts like a perfectionist if it comes to designs and textures. Latex is one of the most difficult texture to do in SL I was told by many designers, because of the lightnings and shadows to produce this typical shine. As we can see on this dress Ezura did an amazing job and made it as realistic as possible.

The dress is available in many different colors and for the “TwistedΒ  Krissmuss Event”Β Β  Ezura made a special color, wich I liked a lot as well.

All prims do have resizer in it so that you can fit it perfectly to your avatar. For the skirt you have the flexi prim option that I have on my pics and as well a sculpted non flexi one. To see more of Ezura‘s latest releases or to see all the colors (black, red, blue, yellow, pink, purple) of the “Lolita Latex” dress you better make your way to the Ezura Mainstore and take a look by yourself πŸ˜‰

As well Ezura celebrates her 3rd Anniversary with a special event and sale.

Prism – Free Gift, News and Sneakpreview!!!

Today I have great news of Prism again, and I do not know where to start with :). There are so many exciting news… but let me start with the gift at Mimi’s Choice... Unbelievable but true… “Laura” in the unique color ‘old rose’ is the actual gift at Mimi’s Choice!!! (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Deep%20House%20Island/102/86/22)

This amazing outfit comes as ready to wear outfits with the skirt, the stockings and pullover. The cute ruffles are a total highlight for this outfit. And again if you take a closer look at the textures… absolute high-class like we know it from Journey McLaglen πŸ™‚

Now we come to some very secret news… I heard Journey is working on a new outfit… andΒ  was observing her tailoring laboratory for a few days… and I was successful in the end :p

The new object of desire is called “Keira” and it comes in many different colors! I was able to ‘borrow’ a few to make short snaps before I had to get them back without being caught… πŸ™‚

The amazing version with the wonderful white birds on the blue ground is called “Migration”. The outfit comes in many different possibilities to wear for all versions. You can have black gloves and the colored arm parts and the matching colored stockings with this awesome upper end parts.

Or you choose the tights version of the stockings. You just skip the upper legs prim parts and wear the long black leggins that are as well part of every package!

Third possibility would be, that you wear the black armparts instead of the colored ones :), like I chose for the “Fall Flowers” As you can see you can do different types of looks with all that great possibilities! If I recall correctly, “Keira” will be released this weekend and all the colors you saw, plus 2 more will be available at the Prism Mainstore (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Bal%20Harbour/34/162/22).

Now we come to the most exciting part… I only say so much… run and join the Prism inworld group! The ‘winterstripes’ version of “Keira” – if I remember that little note of Journey on her desk right – will be the next group gift for the Prism inworld group!!! Can you belive that??? The whole outfit as a group gift??? You better join the Prism inworld group not to miss that amazing gift!!!

Latenight work before the grand reopening of Prism!!!

In a few hours it is… the grand reopening of Prism. Last minute Journey McLaglen told me she will have an amazing group gift for the opening and I have no the honor to show it to you as a preview ;).

Sure I wanted to show you before the reopening of the store and so I sat down late at night in my office and worked on the pics and the blog. The new outfit is called “Denise” and in a wonderful maroon color it will be the group gift especially for the reopening of Prism.

The whole “Denise” outfit in maroon will be the group gift. A full ready-to-wear outfit with amazing details as a gift… unbelievable but true!

You can wear this outfit with or without the amazing jacket. The striped pants are amazingly textured as well as the filigree ornamented top. The jacket has so many cute details like the buckle and you again can see the awesome skills of Journey McLaglen, as she painted the textures as always per hand on her own. It amazes me every time, the total perfectionism of this textures Journey McLaglen does.

Now you maybe can understand why I sat down that late to finish this post for that amazing news πŸ˜‰ Today it will be the day. At 10AM SLT Prism will reopen the doors and show off the amazing new outfits, designed by Journey McLaglen! Don’t miss it!!!
