Finesmith Muse 2012 – My Finale Styling

For the finale of the Finesmith Muse 2012 we got the theme to be a romantic princess… not my usual style but I tried my best 😉 I know it was some time that the finals were done, but my I wanted to have pictures done by my sweet little sister Falbala Fairey. With all the MVW 2012 she was so busy and I am very happy and grateful that she took time for me and this fantastic pictures. Thank you so much sissy they are fabulous and exact what I had in mind :), you made me look like a beautiful princess 😉

The description for the show we had to write on our own again and I got help from the wonderful Sweetest Sands. She is a wonderful person with a huge imagination and fantasy and awesome writing skills and a nother sister of mine. She wrote me a story that we just had to shorten lightly , so that it could be used during the show. I am very grateful that I have such an awesome support from people who I am allowed to call family 🙂

Story:

Many years ago in a far away land there lived an enchanted kingdom deep in the heart of a forest, where both fairies and humans lived together in harmony.  The King was a handsome strong and kind human man, and the Queen the most beautiful sparkling fairy ever seen before.  The Queen’s gift of her sparkle lit the kingdom brightly at night which was important as the all the trees would block the light from the moon and stars above.

The King and Queen lived many happy years together until one day the stars sent them the gift of a special daughter called Princess Wicca, who had the strength of her father, both the beauty and the sparkle of her mother.
One day a great storm befell the Kingdom and for many days the skies rained heavily and the sky the darkest shade of grey that Princess Wicca had ever seen before. The week before Princess Wicca’s birthday the storm had passed, but so too had her sparkle, as if it had been washed away by the rain drops.  The Princess looked everywhere she could but feared her sparkle had been lost forever. The King and Queen called upon all the humans and fairies to help to find the Princess’s sparkle before the twelve hour of the day of her birthday, in return they would reward the gift of as many Finesmith jewels as they could carry.

Everyone in the kingdom set out to find the Princess’s sparkle, with humans searching the land and fairies searching the sky in hopes of being the lucky one to find it.
From one nearby kingdom, a handsome charming Prince decided to join the search in hopes of being the winner.
Days passed and hopes of finding the lost sparkle of Princess Wicca began to seem but a distant dream and many stopped searching, but the Prince seemed determined not to give up searching even the smallest flowers and tallest trees.

The day of Princess Wicca’s birthday arrived but the joyful day had no meaning for her with the great loss of her sparkle.  She was wearing just a simple white gown from Tres Beau, ornamented with the “BlackBarbie” train and her favourite Finesmith jewelry. The “Winterflower” earrings, her “January” necklace, the “Kagami” ring she got from her father as she was born and a little “Snowflake” brooch. Her parents tried their best to give her hope even though there was but a few minutes from striking twelve.

As the Princess turned her head to look into the distance as the clock began to chime, she noticed a handsome man carrying a gold chest with a velvet ribbon tied around it walking towards her.  With bated breath she stood perfectly still with the great hopes of it being her lost sparkle.  The man knelt before her “Princess Wicca, it is with great honour I bestow upon you the return of you once lost precious sparkle.” And with that he placed the chest before her, eager to see it she pulled hard on the ribbon and lifted up the lid of the chest as fast as she could, and there before her very eyes was indeed her found sparkle of light.

The Princess danced around and around laughing out loud now reunited with her once lost sparkle, the Prince admired her beauty.  Both the King and Queen overwhelmed with joy presented the Prince as many jewels as he could carry and joined their daughter in the celebrations.

Miamai – A special dress for a special cause!!!

Monica Outlander:

“What happens when you ask a five year old self ordained Princess “What’s your dream gown, Raven?” Well of course you get the response of “PINK AND SPARKLY AND HEARTS AND PINK AND BUTTERFLIES AND MORE PINK AND BALLERINNAAAAAA!”
Luckily I’m *also* deep down a five year old self ordained Princess really, and my favourite things also happen to be pinksparklyheartybutterflyeyballerina stuff too. And so Raven Sparklefairy ordained that this gown be created, and who am I to argue with royalty? I hope that the little girl inside you gets as big a thrill out of this dress as we both did.

The Raven Sparklefairy gown was also made as a special 100% fundraising item to the Extend A Helping Hand charity now happening; this wonderful event run by Sanura Sakai is providing immediate disaster relief to the victims of the floods that are currently devastating Queensland in Australia.

Why am I involved? There is a family in Australia that have adopted me through Second Life, through a beloved friend of mine and although they aren’t anywhere near the affected state, they are still saddened by the news. And there isn’t a better way to cheer up a little girl than to make her dreams come to life, especially when those dreams result in one of the cheeriest things I’ve ever made.
At the moment Raven Sparklefairy – named after the little girl and her title – is only available at the EAHH location, but afterwards will be added to the permanent Black Label designs at Miamai.
Because the Princess demands it.”

Up next “Silver Dragon” again shows the amazing skills of  Tatanka Kaligawa, the genius designer of Mea Culpa. The basic clothing layers show off a lot of skin and make this outfit to a sexy eyecatcher. This outfit comes as a full outfit with head part and boots. Center of this outfit are for me the long steel parts and spikes that give the outfit a light amazon touch… some for the brave strong girls 😉

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – “Dark Desire”, Model: Daffodil Crimson)

“Dark Desire” wakes up dark desires 😉 A long black gown with a beautiful ornamented corsage part. The tight corsage leads over to a big ballgown skirt. The special detail on this incredible gown in the great head pice with the lovely flower and the fantastic spider webs in 2 colors. The black of the gown is broken with the red petals of the flowers and one red spiderweb. The headpiece is also decorated with beautiful lace parts that give the whole part a mystical and elegant touch.

“African Lotus” is a very huge gown that definitely will make you the center of every event. It is not a symmetric outfit, the amazing attached prims are take the left side of the outfit. Dreamy flexi made the move with every step you take. The top layer is covered by an amazing wrapped part that goes over the right shoulder.

The head part includes a long flexi ponytail in the back that goes down to the waist.  The basic black-silver-grey texture is highlighted with lovely emerald gems at head, chest and belly. And if you look very close you can see a beautiful leopard animal print texture that covers the body that is worn under the glittering prim parts. 2 long flexi attachments go down from the wait to the knee and caress your legs with every movement.

Last outfit for this post is “Perfectly Wrapped” The name shows off the basic idea of this design 😉 The whole body is wrapped in a foil looking texture with amazing edgy spikes that make a great contrast. The great head part is also included and carries a few of the long edgy parts that make this outfit definitely to a haute couture one. The long attachments are again great flexi made and move natural with every step you make.
