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 😉

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 😉

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 😉

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 😉

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 😉

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 😉

I had so much fun doing those pictures and post. I met a wonderful and kind person, I learned about 2  – 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 🙂

Awesome new Lashes at Finesmith paired with Fluke poses ;)

One of the latest awesome releases at Finesmith were 4 new amazing lashes styles!!! We all know the black cool lashes yula Finsmith did for the “Noir” collection. Now she followed that great way of designing lashes with 4 more styles.

This incredible new Finesmith lashes are really a must have for everybody that likes an extravagant styling. Totally in black they always have a wonderful diamond part where they start from.

To make this awesome styling complete I added one of my long time favourites of Finesmith – the “Victorian Secret” set. This awesome set was one of the first sets that took my attention to yula Finesmith’s creations, as it was the first set where the jewelry was just ‘pinned’ on the body, like the necklace that goes right into the chest ;). The whole set is menu driven and you can change metals, colors and gems to make it match anyways what you wanna wear it to.

The awesome lace part, that goes up from the neck over the lips is one part of the “Lucia” lingerie from Glam Affair and as well a piece that I really like for a long time as well 🙂 So what could fit better to this styling then the “Diva Poses” made by GM Nikolaidis, owner and designer of Fluke. I really love the poses as they are somewhat fresh and modern and dare to be different and out of the box, for me the “Diva Poses” have a wonderful dramatic touch as well 🙂

Wicca’s Wardrobe: LOTD 09/28/2011

Yesterday before my LeeZu shift I was thinking about what I could wear. I went to my LeeZu part of my wardrobe and after 2 hours… yes the LeeZu part is not small *grins… I came across a really beautiful gown that I was not wearing for quite sometime. I pulled it our of the wardrobe and put it on. “A Mon Insu” is a very elegant and still playful gown with all the cute ruffles and roses. And as I anyways was in an elegant mood from my last post, I really enjoyed styling this wonderful gown ;). For the jewelry I chose the earrings and necklace of the “Giz” set from Finesmith Designs. The skin is one of the new Glam Affair skins called “Gio”. For the hair I searched some to repeat the ruffle and rose theme of the gown and my choice fell on the “Cileste” hair, made by Bliss Couture. Even if you cannot see the shoes on the pic, I have to tell, that it was the “ChiChi” pumps in black from Maitreya as I loved them so much with their sweet crossed lines ;). Last look in the mirror to check… perfect! Lets go to LeeZu and work my shift as usual at Wednesday 11AM SLT 😉

Wicca’s Wardobe: Weird moments in black and white – the second ;)

Ok I admit I stuck a while with my weird moments about stylings, but I have to admit it feels very nice to be allowed to do what you want 😉 The basic of this styling was one of the last “Claim the Fame” shows. The theme was Fantasy Avantgarde. Mostly I try to match the shows themes with my stylings and so this look came together.

The basic makes one of the Black & White skins, made by Nuuna Nitely, owner and designer of Nuuna’s Skins. The for sure with my addiction to Finesmith Designs, jewelry from yula Finesmith had to be part. The skirt part is from the “Saleena Inspiration” set. To cover up the private parts I chose to wear the “Maya” nipple shields and the “O collection 011” bracelets, as well from Finesmith. If you look closer you can see that I used the “Valeria Inspiration” earrings as well for the ears and I changed them in size and made me great wings out of them as well 🙂 The pants, the forehead pice and the feet parts I took from Eshi Otawara‘s “Flying Home” outfit. For the top I remembered one of my old-time favourites… the “Wilted Wednesday Vest” made by Kyoot. For the hair I chose one of the great hairstyles of 3636 Designs.

And now I will hide in the depth of my inventory again and see what I can come up next with 😉

Wicca’s Wardrobe: Just a mood…. a feeling…

Just a mood, a feeling… black and white always and ever will be a favour of mine 🙂

Basically this was the look I was wearing for the BOSL Awards 2011 where I was nominated as one of the FEmale Top Models 2011 what was a great honor for me 🙂 I just changed the skin a bit to make my black & white look perfect 😉
