Real Friendship

Tempest & Wicca wearing Blacklace – “Passione – Leo Print & Lace Bra Set”

Today I have something very special…

Tempest Rosca, an incredible photographer, an amazing model and what counts even more for me… one of the ‘oldest’ and best friends I ever met in SL.

Tempest and me go way back and share quite a long past. We met in the early days of our modeling back on 2008/2009. That makes about 7 years… holy… time goes by!

The more I was happy when she IMed me and said “Wic.. do not blog the next Blacklace you get, let’s do it together!” God how iI could even think other than yes, when I thought about Tempe’s amazing pictures – I would get an original Tempest Rosca shoot!

Since I know how important a vision is for a photographer, I asked her if she had a special styling in mind. She just said “Hold on I send you a snap in a few but think lioness, princess, queen…” That sounded about Tempe… we get lingerie and she is talking about lions *giggles* I just love her. She has her own way of craziness and it seems to get well along with mine :p

When we met, while she was arranging the poses she had in mind we again had some great time for talking. Do you know that feeling.. you have friends, that you do not see or talk to every day, but when you met them it feels like it would be like that? That Tempe and me share.. we both have our own Second Life, but it crosses here and there and the it feels again so close and familiar, just amazing. We talked about old times, changes, new times and it felt so good to just talk away without any fears to say something wrong or something that he other would take wrong. Tempe and me never ever had that issue, we can talk about everything even about things we dislike or disagree and it never ever hit our friendship. That is very rare for me and with that it has one of the highest value. Exactly that to me is real friendship. We do not need kissy kissy everyday and as well we can talk clear and straight, without taking it wrong from each other – that can be so freeing and relaxing… I have no clue how long we talked until she found the right poses, angles and setting but I enjoyed every single second of it.

When I saw the picture I was speechless… it is incredible and perfect and again I know why I admire Tempe’s skills for pictures.

Thank you so much for a wonderful evening and an incredible picture Tempe – and yes.. next time it will be my turn and I am looking forward to it!!!

Back to the 80’s!!! Elan provides help at the Vintage fair ;)

Back to the 80’s… for me that is back to my youth…

How does not remember those very tight carrot jeans, elastic leggings,sequins, wild long hair with lots of hairspray, David Bowie, Billy Idol, Kim Wilde… and all those horrible neon colors we all complain about today*grins*

But in the end it was super huge fun and the music was great – I still enjoy at least the music*laughs*

So for sure I went crazy as I saw the contribution of Elan at the Vintage Fair 2011... 80’s<<< vintage *sighs* oh man I am getting old…

Nevertheless, “Rockin in fur and sequins” is the name of the cute outfit that Elan made for the Vintage Fair 2011. You can purchase it in different colors – for sure the neon ones as well. The right arm always is covered by a huge fur attachment and a wonderful shoulder prim. The top always has 2 colors, one for the basic and one for the stripes. The short mini skirt shines in wonderful sequins all over 😉

So make your way to the Vintage Fair 2011 and get your trip back to the wild and colorful 80’s with Elan!!!

Wonderful dark news by Ezura!!!

Right in time for Halloween,  Ezura released a stunning dark goth gown, the “Marceline”gown. Sure, not only to use for Halloween but it would fit for that as well perfectly 😉

The gown has a very classy and elegant touch. The mixture of the floating and shining skirt goes perfectly to the ornamented fabric of the top. The huge neckcollar has wonderful tentacles that fawn awesome over the cleavage. What caught my eyes are the 2 cool skulls that make the shoulder parts. round the hips we have some cute ruffles that make a perfect contrast to the skills and tentacles and add a lightly playful touch. The gown has various possibilities to be worn for the skirt part.

Version number one, has a long skirt and this incredible tentacles at the bottom. The skirt reaches the floor and with the tentacles it nearly looks as you hover over the floor a bit and gives a little mystical touch.

For sure a mermaid skirt version cannot miss for this elegant gown.  Just take the tentacles off and you have a very sophisticated skirt that will be totally perfect for every kind of sophisticated event 🙂 You even could remove the huge neckcollar and only wear the top tentacles, but I am so in love with it so I just could not take it off :p

If you like it even more classy you can wear the long skirt that starts from the hips and goes more and more wide till it reaches the bottom. The gloves are as well part of the outfit. If you wanna keep it very simple you just take off all skirt prims and wear the skirt layer only. The gown can be purchased in black like you see it in the post or even in red and purple.

The incredible beautiful horns can be part of your dark queen outfit as well. Named like the dress the “Marceline” horns match awesome to the dress and adda again some more darkness and goth. Little skulls underline the theme and they are made with such love for the detail, so we again can say how much time and love Ezura puts in her creations.

What could match better to such an amazing gown as the “Noir” jewelry set from Finesmith Design. The shape of the earrings and the collar goes perfect with the tentacles of the “Marceleine gown!

You do not have a Halloween outfit yes and already invited to a great party? Make your way to the Ezura Mainstore and you will find the perfect outfit for you I am sure 😉

GizzA – “Amorah”: Modern Fashion Huntress? ;)

Lately my eye fell on a store I never saw before… GizzA. As I entered the store I nearly fainted… it is a huge store and it did not look like that it was totally new as I saw the amazing quality of all the wonderful and different outfits! The owner and creator Giz Seom was so nice and we had a little talk and I got some of her amazing designs. Today I wanna start of with the “Amorah” outfit, but you can be sure that there will follow more 😉

The textures of the GizzA designs are just amazing… so clear, detailed and different… and as well they are looking very real and you can imagine the fabric that Giz was working on. “Amorah” you can purchase in 2 different color versions, the one I showcase in this blog is called soil. The outfit itself has clothing layers for all kind of combinations. You can find jacket, t-shit and undershirt layers for the top and for the bottom part you have a skirt and a body option for the pants layers. You can take the most close look and you will see how awesome detailed the clothing layers are worked out. Every fold, every little zipper and as well the shadows and lights show how much time Giz takes for creating this amazing outfits. But for me the total highlight are the prims on that outfit. The fur skirt with the open left side that is just hold together by that little strap… the wrist cuffs that and for sure that incredible neck collar that goes over the shoulders as well are something special that gives the whole outfit a light wild touch.

As I said you will find so many different styles and creations at GizzA that I really woudl say make your way to the GizzA Mainstore and take a look 😉
