“CLAIM THE FAME”

▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.

Second Life is a virtual world of endless possibilities, with many useful tools as means to add a touch of reality to unachievable dreams and aspirations.  This pixel life opens doors which can help many to find hope and confidence to become more successful in the flesh existence we know as real life.

We all have at one time or another been possessed by the deep desire for the glamorous lifestyle lived by those who we perceive to have it all, those such as the glamorous designers as Karl Largerfeld, Domenico Dolce, Stefano Gabbana, Frida Giannini and Marc Jacobs.

It takes hard work, creativity, and a true passion for fabulous designs to achieve success as a fashion designer, but you can break into this career much more quickly and easily with the amazing package up for grabs in Second Life’s answer to the hit show “Project Runway”.

SL Art Couture in association with Metaverse TV and supported by BOSL Magazine have come up with this truly amazing project called “Claim the Fame”.  It offers new aspiring designers and those who have not yet found recognition within the virtual marketplace, the chance at becoming a well known and respected brand.

The winner of this contest will expect to enjoy not ONLY 100,000 L$ cash, not only both the front cover and 6 page fashion spread of an issue with SL Art Couture Kult Magazine, not only a 6 monthly advertisement campaign in the SL Art Couture Magazine, not only a custom made fashion show with custom built catwalk and top fashion models with the SL Art Couture production team, but also a huge promotional campaign, advice and support from some well known and respected members of the fashion industry within Second Life.

To take part in this amazing adventure on offer, applicants need to submit an application and attend a casting, broadcasted also in Metaverse TV.  From these castings 20 lucky contestants will be carefully selected to participate with the ambition to “Claim to Fame” of aspiring to Second Life’s next top designer.

There will be in total 15 live televised shows every wednesday over a 16 weeks period of creative bliss as the lucky competitor’s work their magic aiming to make through each round and to claim the winning place, of which there is only one spot.  Will that be you who claims the fame?

News at Mea Culpa!

by

Tatanka Kaligawa again shows his great designing skills in a nother wonderful creation of a wedding dress. Made for an awesome wedding this gown was made for a very special lady and now it is available in the store for all of us. 🙂 “Priceless Wedding”…

The big train is amazing flexible and if you take a closer look at all the details of the upper part… that lovely texture for the corsage, the amazing prims that make this bridal gown to something special and fashionable… the wonderful head piece… simply stunning. It would be a pity to wear that amazing gown just once, so I decided it also can be a wonderful ball gown with the very special touch I love so much. And it is not made in pure white so… no need to just wear it once in your life or only for a wedding 😉

And we have another fantastic gown named “Fairytale Queen”. Inspired by a wonderful gown that Monica Belluci was wearing in the movie “the Bothers Grimm” playing the Evil Queen.

A total eye catcher is the huge head piece for sure…

The “Fairytale Queen” is a very sophisticated gown with a big train in the back as well as the “Priceless Wedding”. The dark brocade red is broken with a lot of facile textures in gold and multicolored. The wide arm sleeves give a very sophisticated look. Make sure you make your way to the Mea Culpa Mainstore and take a look at all the new outfits you will find there… I am sure you will find one that suits you best and that you like 😉

2nd Anniversary Sale at Ezura!!!

by

For her second year in SL Ezura celebrates with her customers. She placed a few little red sales tags on some of her designs! So make your way to the Ezura Mainstore and hunt for these little red ‘birthday sales’ signs! 🙂

Ezura mainly creates gothic and steam punk designs that are amazing in texture and ideas. Longer ago I had the great pleasure to create the invitation for a Fashion show done by EVANE where the wonderful creations of Ezura were showcased. For this invite I got a woderful outfit named “Nightwalker”  The outfits itself has a lot of different variations like short and long pants or with our without skirt going down from the belt. Basically I got one outfit containing 3 or more depending on how I combine and style it. The boots are the “Gothic Knee High Leather Boots” in black. The bots come with a HUD where you can change the basic color between black and 2 different dark grey colors and as well the straps between the same colors ad dark red. The HUD allows also to choose different heel sounds so that you can suit your heel click to every ground you walk on 🙂 and also the volume 🙂

As a nice accessory I got the “Steampunk Goggles” also made by Ezura. This sweet glasses add a very special flair to the whole outfits and match perfect with the knife and the amazing belt with all the lovely details. Overall this outfit is a true chameleon with all its possibilities and I am honored that I can tell you already got a few minutes ago the newest release. I had a chance to peek on and ..it is simply wonderful!!! I will hurry to snap it and show it soon 🙂

Wicca’s Wardrobe: Black and White against red? ;)

by

Again time to have a peek in my wardrobe 😉 Lately I had a strong black and white feeling…maybe because of the tons of snow we had or the cold weather.. I have no clue. AS well I also had always a fable for red, so I just tried some and the result you can see here 😉

For the basic outfit I choose different parts from LeeZu like the “Lea Vivendi Pants” in the night color and the “La Pequena Chaqueta” jacket in black/white.  The red accessories are the “Blood Nails” made by [V] Couture Salon and the necklace “Garnet Nest Necklace” from Paper Couture. The amazing skin with the stunning and perfect red matching lips comes from Glam Affair. For the shoes I pulled out my “Bitch Booties” made by Stiletto Moody 🙂 The hair I found at lamb!.

I hope you enjoyed another peek in my wardrobe 🙂

stay styled,

Wicca

by

(Outfit: Maven Haus – “Gefahr”, Pose: Body Talking, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

Today I have the great pleasure to show you one of the very new Maven Haus designs named “Gefahr”. “Gefahr” in english means danger and that brought me on the sweet ideas with the wild cats 😉 Maven Haus is now back with a new collection that is in progress and released already a few amazing earrings and jewelry parts that I will show as soon as I can. For today I would like to focus on the new dress first as I really love it 🙂 The dress has clothing layers as well what make a very smooth look with the huge prim that makes the neck collar. The dress it self has a fur made texture ( I am sure no animal dies for that I know Elaera he never could do that! ;)) The grey is broken by an amazing little black belt.

New Collection at Glam Affair!!! Ladies grab your purse ;)

by

Glam Affair brought out their new NERO collection and I am happy to show you one by one all oft amazing and fantastic outfits! And for sure I would like to show you those amazing boots, that Shae Sixpence nearly forced me to buy 😉 The boots I found at NeurolaB Inc and they are called “Fatality Black Boots” They totally caught me as they are really extraordinary, fierce and crazy like I am 😉 They reach over the knees and come in 3 sizes. You should be able to use the alpha layers as you as well can have matching arm shields and all are made for the V2 feature with the alpha layer 😉 If you take a closer look at the feet itself …. *drools* … I never saw such fierce boots before. you have no heel, but the sharp edge of the toes is “curved” back to make a little realistic vision that you are able to walk on them anyhow 😉 The boots are available in more colors than black so maybe you wanna make your way to the NeurolaB Inc Mainstore and take a look by yourself 😉

But now to the outfit itself…. “Nell”

“Nell” is one of  7 new releases from Glam Affair. A wonderful, sexy and stunning outfit perfect for special moments or as well to turn heads 😉 I have to admit..usually ther is no musical note to cover the right chest… but I tried to make it PG for the blog 😉 The outfit itself is just the half body that covers the belly and the pelvis as well as the backside. For the top you have a non symetric part that goes down lightly at the back of the neck in form of a little triangle. In the front it goes down a little more and covers the left side of the chest. It is as well decorated with an amazing flower part.

For jewelry and nails for sure I took some amazing art pieces made by yula Finesmith, incredible designer of Finesmith Design. The earrings are part of the “Inspired by Valeria” limited set, the collar is the ” Inspired by Elyna”. The fingernails are as well from Finesmith Design.

As I said, “Nell” is just one of 7 amazing new releases of Glam Affair and I will show all of them step by step 😉
