Fragilestrong with Salt & Pepper!

Salt & Pepper 02final

Today I have something very special and as well a personal favour for you.

Lately I got an incredible rope harness from Salt & Pepper. I did not know that amazing designer personally before and I was super surprised, that we share the same country in RL*grins*

It is always kinda funny, if you talk to people in English and after a longer while you discover, that you could have spoken your mother tongue :p

Salt & Pepper 10final

When I met that wonderful lady, I immediately had an amazing and comfortable feeling talking to her and the more we talked, the more I felt, I would like to do that sweet lady a favour. Just because she was so nice and kind to me πŸ˜‰

She released an amazing Rope & Flowers set on a very new event called Objets d’Amour, which was hosted by the owners or the ROMP event. The first round, where this artpiece was released, was going on from the 4th or February until the 15th.

Sadly, RL did not let me do the pictures in time of the event :/

But since I wanted to do something very special, I simply could not rush the pics through.

But I took a peek at the main store of Salt & Pepper and I saw that she has the gacha machine up there now with that amazing items πŸ˜‰

Salt & Pepper 08final

I know that many people have prejudices about ropes on a nearly nude body and many times it just falls towards porn or gets judged like that. But as in so many cases, it is always in the eye of the beholder or about personal taste I guess.

To me ropes can be very artistic and as well, tasteful and artistic lingerie or nude shots can be very impressing and amazing.

And exactly that, I wanted to transport on my todays pictures πŸ˜‰

Salt & Pepper 01final

First I put on the harness and all the parts that came with it and looked at it very close. It comes with HUDs for all pieces, where you can change the colors of the ropes, metals and roses. The set contains even more parts than the ones I used but for the purpose and look I was going for they did not wanna really fit in to my view this time πŸ˜‰

I decided to go with the harness, the gag and cuffs for ankles and wrists. All parts are scripted for roleplay as well.

The more I looked on the different pieces, the more I found all those incredible details like the little chains that lead for the ropes to the metals or the amazing detailed texture of the rope itself. That already proves the high quality of the Salt & Pepper designs. The whole set contains 5 standard sizes for the classic avatars, Slink Physique/Hourglass and a Maitreya Lara fitting version.

Salt & Pepper 03final

When I was staring at my pixels wearing the awesome parts of the “Ropes & Flowers” set, imaginations ran through my head about what to do with it.

First I tried the black ropes and everything I tried to style kinda was sexy and seductive… but I wanted more. The more I tried, the more an idea got stuck in my mind about opposites. I wanted something artistic, something sexy, something classy.. something fragile and something strong and powerful.

First I thought that will be too many in one but the more I played with stuff the more I was confident about it can work.

Salt & Pepper 06final

I got stuck on the white ropes with the rose golden metals and the darker red roses. To give an opposite to the strong and kinky look of the “Ropes & Flowers” set, I wanted some white lingerie – not too playful with lots of ruffles and lace. More something classy, simple but still modern and different looking AND for the Slink Physique mesh body. After spending more than an hour on Marketplace, I made my way into the Starwalkers2010 chat and asked – kinda depressed – about ideas for something like that.

I got some very good advises but one girl hit the nail on the head with her suggestion… Thank you Voshie Paine!!!

She lead my way to Chocolate Atelier (c.A.). I TPed over to the store and already was very impressed about the designs and I was curious what Marketplace would give me for that brand since sometimes gacha items or older products are not available in world anymore but still there.

Salt & Pepper 09final

BINGO!

I found the “Thea Bra & Panties” ensemble. The amazing layer set can be worn on many different mesh bodies and mesh body parts with the provided appliers and it has the layer versions inside as well.

The simple looking light, smooth fabric has some very fascinating cutouts on both parts, that make an amazing front and back view πŸ˜‰

Salt & Pepper 07final

While I was searching through my inventory for any kind of scenery or decoration ideas, I stumbled over something that I got a long time ago and never really used it. It comes out of a time long before mesh even was talked about :p .

The “Draped” set from Glitterati was released back in 2011 and comes with a sheer satin looking fabric prop and 10 different poses. I did not use all of them but for a few I wanted to give it a try.

With all the new windlight, the old sculpties did not cooperate too well and I had to rework them a little later in PS. Since I am not a trained graphic artist in RL… go figure… that took a while, but it was well worth every minute for me and I learned new things πŸ˜‰

I had so much fun doing those pictures and post. I met a wonderful and kind person, I learned about 2Β  – for me new – brands I definitely will put on my “to shop and watch out for” list so overall it was a wonderful experience and try to play with lingerie, ropes and opposites πŸ™‚

Out of the Darkness

Out of the Darkness

How does it feel when your little world’s broken
Everything’s splattered with dirt
Too many words full of poison I’ve spoken
Now you are finally hurt
Nobody came from the outside to touch us
The enemy came from within
He came with his fear and with fear he did seize me
Tell me now where to begin

Violator Side

Welcome again to my hour of darkness
I put a spoke in my wheel
I was the fool who just gave it away
But this was the way I did feel

Violator Double

I couldn’t help but I
I’ll set it straight
No need to hide behind doubts
And I’m begging you please
Won’t you hear me I’m calling, so

Violator HairTake me out of this darkness
And right back into the light
Show me how can I get back to you

Welcome again to this hour of darkness
The shadows are finally back
All of my nightmares are waltzing Mathilda
Better I turn on the light

Lyrics:

I wanted you to know
that I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high
steal your pain
…away.
I keep your photograph
and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high
and steal your pain

cuz I’m broken
when I’m lonesome
and I don’t feel right,
when you’re gone away

you’ve gone away
you don’t feel me
anymore

the worst is over now,
and we can breathe again
I want to hold you high
and steal your pain
There’s so much left to learn
and no one left to fight
I want to hold you high
and steal your pain

cuz I’m broken
when I’m open
and I don’t feel like
I’m strong enough
Cuz I’m broken
when I’m lonesome
and I don’t feel right
when you’re gone away

New line at LeeZu!

LeeZu came up with a very sexy and stunning clothing line called “BDSM”. For now it contains 7 fantastic outfits, each one in black and red, the typical colors for this lifestyle. πŸ˜‰ But I think not only BDSM related or interested people can wear this designs as the outfits are really sexy and stunning and as well very fashionable πŸ™‚ But let me show you at least 3 of them for today πŸ™‚

The first one is called “Missheep” I already combined the red and the black version in here as I really liked it πŸ™‚ Usually you have he outfit in full red of black to buy… but as you can see.. it iw worth getting both for this lovely combination πŸ˜‰ The outfit itself is made very clear and LeeZu again shows off her awesome skills if it come to texturing and designing. The top and bottom part lays dreamy tight on the body and accents the wonderful shape of every lady. The amazing idea with the holes that give a lovely sexy touch is perfectly combined with a closed bottom part and the very stunning opaque stockings and gloves. A neat little detail I really loved are the garters that hold the stockings. The spot where the garter meets the stockings again shows off the eye for the detail of LeeZu creations as it looks wonderful realistic. A totally highlight and as well a very fashionable accessory is the cute hat with the flexible cord.

Up next we have “Sablier” here only shown in black but also available in tempting red πŸ˜‰ It is kinda my favourite outfit even if I have to admit I really like them all πŸ™‚ but this one for a reason caught my heart. I love corsets in general… not only in SL πŸ˜‰ and this design has this great and very detailed corset as a center of the whole outfit. The different textures combined with the amazing front and the little metal parts that close the corset… simply amazing and so realistic that I was nearly tempted to put my finger on the screen and let it run down that amazing fabrics *grins The great idea with the waist part for insiders may look like the stylistic idea of an “O” dress and I really like the idea to cover the private parts like this even if a panty can be worn under it as well.Β  The great fishnet stockings I kinda hided with that long boots a bit, but I liked them so much to this outfit that I could not resist, so make sure you make your way to the LeeZu Mainstore to see how amazing they look πŸ˜‰ Unbelievable but true the great arm ropes and the fantastic collar are as well part of that wonderful outfit!

Last but not least for today I would like to showcase the “Liquid Latex” a very and non usual outfit that perfectly can go as part of a fashion magazine as well πŸ˜‰ The clothing layers are very daring and show a lot of skin what adds a damn sexy touch. As you have no “usual” cuts and holes it is very interesting to look where the clothing layers cover skin and where not. As a great addition you have this long spike looking parts and the amazing necklace that looks made of black pearls. As well you have this amazing roses that decorate the left legs outside… over all this is an outfit you will have to look more than once to discover all the great details! And if you like red more… just make your way to the LeeZu Mainstore ;). I hope I could wake your curiosity about the new LeeZu line and you find the perfect outfit for you.. or even to surprise your love πŸ˜‰
