Thinking of Skulls & Roses

Wicca & Dahriel 6

Today I have the pleasure to announce the reopening of the House of Elliot. Today at 2PM SLT,  Zaryna will reopen her store and she already gave me a preview of her new creations. I was so happy as I arrived at the studio and saw that Dahriel had the male version of it and it totally hit me as Dahriel asked to do it together with a pic. He made a special pose for that called “Thinking” and it looks so amazing emotional to me and I was totally in love already, as we snapped the picture.

Lets take a closer look in the “Skulls & Roses” outfit. The whole outfit is mesh made and you can wear it with or without long pants to it. For the pictures I decided to go without the pants since Dahriel was wearing them 😉 The body and the hood are separate mesh prims and you can decide how you wanna style it up. The wonderful texture reminded me on some of the Ed Hardy creations with all the skulls and roses on it and I love that style anyways 🙂 We decided to go with sneakers and make the more cool kinds look with the “Skulls & Roses”, but you can for sure style it elegant as well.

Speaking of the pose that Dahriel made, for that wonderful “Skulls & Roses” couple, he as well has new group gifts for February and I guess he liked the “Skulls & Roses” outfit as much as I do and so he snapped the vendor pics for the February group gifts for PosESioN right away after we did the couple one 😉 –  and yes guys there is a male pose as a group gift as well so… do not miss that!

So, to make a long story short… do not forget to join the reopening party of House of Elliot today at the new Mainstore, do not forget to join the PosESioN group for the amazing February group gifts for male and female and when you are already at the PosESioN Mainstore you can take a look at the new “Thinking” couple pose 😉

For the actual Maniera Magazine December 2012 (http://manierasl.mymaniera.com/) I had the great honor to be featured in a wonderful fashion spread of Lovely Miwako. She made a special corset themed article about how different corsets can look.

We all got sent different corsets from Etchaflesh and Voluptia and Lovely asked us to style them in a vintage non typical lingerie manner. As well she wanted us all to choose one tattoo that we wear through the whole spread.

For the first picture Lovely placed me on the floor besides SterlingZen. The corset I was wearing for this picture came from Voluptia and everyone that knows me… I am a corset addicted even in RL, so to style the corset in a non lingerie way for me was like if you tell me I just won in a lottery *grins*

I love a lot the different vontage stylings from the 50’s to the 80’s ( it still scares me that 80’s are called vintage now too^^) and so I was going for my favourite urban look as well with the heavy boots and the tattoos and some fishnet stockings and torned stockings. The huge glasses and the pinup hair added the perfect finish for the look in my view.

On this picture, I had the great pleaure to be with Katherine Comet a wonderful and classy Lady that shines at my side with a wonderful corset styling that reminded me a lot on the old racing pinups I saw so many times on that collectable retro/vintage, metal signs from coke or even others… not sure how they are called in english, mostly you find them in bars 🙂

For the second look I was given the corset and the sneaker boots from Etchaflech. I added the neck corset as well from Etchaflesh, pantys and garterbelt from Maitreya.

Lovely did an amazing job in putting different ladies, diffrent looks and attitudes together to show a wide range of what corsets can do… weither of elgant, grunge, rocker, lingerie, vintage or burlesque… as different as we ladies are as different corsets can be used for anykind of styling, that you can think of 🙂
