Louis Vuitton inspired with SoliDea FoliEs

by

Solidea - Vuiletton Inspired 001

As I got one of the latest releases from SoliDea FoliEs I immediately had to think about the last Louis Vuitton collection. With all the squares and colored versions of it I wanted to make soething according to that and with the “Twiggy” outfit I instantly has an idea for the pictures 😉 .

The “Twiggy” outfit of SoliDea FoliEs is based on black and white squares with some color accents. I chose the black version for this post but you can find other colors as well 😉 .

The whole outfit is mesh made and you have different sizes to make sure it fits your avatar.

The black bracelets are part of the outfit too. I looked at myself and I really wanted some hat of head pice that goes with the “Twiggy” outfit from SoliDea FoliEs. I searched through my inventory but I could not find any, so I stormed Kyra Camel’s IM. Kyra owns her own brand for female and male clothing, named Baboom and she made crazy head pieces before that she showed me in the past so I asked her if she could make me something squared with yellow accents. She showed me many of her creations and all of a sudden she pulled out a hat I fell immediately in love with. She retextured the hat to squares for me and I asked her if I can have that cute flower in a yellow tone that matches the yellow on the outfit. It just took her seconds  to do that for me and on top she made me a matching clutch.

To bing back some yellow accents to my face as well, I remembered a tintable version of the “Dahlinka Wild-Zebra” makeup from Zibska.

A last look into the mirror and some yellow squared background and ready was the Louis Vuietton inspired imagination 😉

Today I have the great pleasure to showcase 2 new releases of 2 mazing brands. *PosESioN* and !:Lybra:!.

Lemme start with the incredible glasses.

Idols Glasses AD 2

(Picture by Dahriel; Models: Wicca, Dahriel, Absinthe)

*PoseESioN* made amazing glasses for the actual L’Accessories event. The “Idol” glasses come in 8 different colors, so what ever you wanna match with them, you will find the right color 😉

I would like to thank my sweet briother Dahriel for the opportunity to pose with the incedible Absi for the vendor of the “Idol” glasses 🙂 .

Now I would like to drag the attention to the amazing dress I am wearing. The greatest news on that one are… Lybra Rage is back! Formerly known from the brand House of Rage, where he was designing together with Topaz Joubert and LovelyMiwako7399 Menna. He now is back and opened his own brand !:Lybra:!.

I was totally amazed as he sent me one of his firt dresses called “Vex”.

Lybra 001

The incredible short dress is a fireworks of textures and and stunning arrangement of mesh and prims. I love how the new mesh and the ‘older’ prims work together so well and give the dress some life. The flexible prims go so well with the mesh corset and I love the combination.

For the jewelry I took parts of the new “Bali” gown from Finesmith. The collar and the high waist belt went perfect with the “Vex” dress of !:Lybra:!. The “Rose” belt and collar are decorated with amazing roses at the sides and wonderful huge gemstones in the front and in the back.

The shoes are one of my favourites from [Diktator], the “Envy” stilettos. With their horns and spikes they made the perfect match for me to the rest of the styling 😉

To give the whole look a little more edges I used parts or the new “Insect” set that my sweet brother Dahriel made not too long ago, as I thought they go s nice with the tentacles of the “Idol” glasses 😉

A modern Snow White? A Second Life Fairytale

by

Saz-George-WiccadM! fullb

With all the remakes of old fairytales like Snow White and the Huntsman or Haensel  & Gretel – Witchhunters, I came across the idea of a modern snowwhite.. maybe even a  fashionista snowwhite*giggles*

The idea came with an outfit that I got from !dM – deviousMind. The “Pure Syn” out of the newest Fetish Couture Collection, The outfit can be purchased in different colors and as well in a ‘Duality Pack’ with 2 colors in it. The basic outfit is a supoer sexy mini dress with a latex texture that shows the texture skills from Chandra Meehan, genius designer behind !dM. Besides the amazing mini dress you have all this amazing pearls and apples, the wonderful ruffles for the shoulders, the glamurous train, the hair piece and on top the awesome snake and the snketatoo for the legs are as well part of the outfit. With all this parts and variations you really can make a few different looking outfits of  the “Pure Syn” outfit.

For the picture I decided to wear the whiote version and Sazzy Nirpaw wears the red one. The handsome man, that Saz is offering her sweet apple is our well known Mr UK 2013, George McCartney.

I am very grateful that Saz and George said yes, when I asked them if they would join me for that shoot as it is way easier and way more nice to built up a scenery with more than one person somtimes.

For the location I came across the idea of a dark forrest, mystical and not too many colors with a crypta and some matching sculptures. Saz is an amazing builder and inbetween seconds she rezzed a wonderful snowy dark forrest and I just aaded the crypta and the sculptures.

Even if it is an abstract imagination I couldnot get rid of the idea of a modern fashionista Snow White and George made an awesome hansome to safe the girls :p .

New “Swag Casual” pose set at Wicca’s Wardrobe!

by

Swag Casual

Sometimes I fall into my Rockabilly mood and then I love the boyish jeans & tank top look. A few days ago it was time again, to try my inventory for exactly that look :p.

I wanted to use some of my older stuff and show, that this can be still cool even if it is not all brand new 😉

The shirt is one of my first Maitreya shirts and I never found a better tank top for such purposes. The jeans are one of my long time favourites from LeeZu and the shirt that’s wrapped around my waist is that old that Coco now has it as a discounted item*giggles*. The only thing what is really new are the shoes, and that is just because I so fell in love with them.

The new look inspired me to make a new pose set called “Swag Casual”

Wicca's Wardrobe - Torn 003

Sometimes you just do not know where to go or what to do, you feel torn inside and you only see darkness. Sometimes your inner only feels like a big fight and you have no clue how to escape.

Wicca's Wardrobe - Torn 002

Sometimes it it hard to find words to describe what you wanna say. And I tried to find words for this post and they just did not wanna flow. A close friend of mine, who is way better with words and who knows me very well wrote something for me after i showed her the pics and gave her a lot of single words and emotions and I would like to share it as it really expresses, what I only could say with pictures. Thank you Mal for finding the right words for me, for knowing me and understanding me even without any words sometimes.

Torn

I am alive – though I am dead

I am over you – though you bury me

I am me – though I am no one

I survive – though I die each day

I am strong – though I feel I will break any minute

I am you – though I don’t know who you are

I am here – though I don’t know where

I am understood – though you don’t know what I am talking about

I wanna enjoy –  though I don’t know fun anymore

I miss you – though I never know who you were

I am lonely – though there are crowds around me

I am dead – though I still move

I submit – though you are not worth it

I am all – though I cant cope

I will die – though I wanna live

I am weak – though I can do all I want

I am me  – though I am lost

I am there – though I don’t know where

I am a riddle – though it would be so easy

I wanna think – though I get stuck

I am happy – though I should not be

I am – though I am not

Redneck at Work – My first male pose set!

by

WM - Poses - Redneck at Work Set full

Making this set really was fun 🙂 . It did not expect myself doing males poses so fast but when GeorgeMcCartneym Mr UK 2013, find his way into my IMs, I could not resist, after he told me what he would need. He told me the upcoming challenge for MVW 2014 was Sexy Farmer. That sounded kinda tempting to me *giggles* and when I saw his styling, my jaw just dropped on the desk.

While I tried to get my mind together again, he told me that he looked already for poses, but that the most of them were not ‘male’ enough or did not feature the pitchfork right. So even if I refused to make custom poses, I thought this kinda still meets my vision of the ‘Poses for Purposes’ since the pitchfork was a real purpose :p

I am sure there is other purposes for that poses as well and you can carry different tools with that just the pitchfork 😉

For the styling you wanna approach GeorgeMcCartney and if you wanna give the new poses a try just take the Taxi to my sweet little Mainstore 😉 (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/New/240/183/22)

Wicca’s Wardrobe: Dark Indulgence

by

Wicca's Wardrobe - Dark Indulgence Half

The newest addition to my store Wicca’s Wardrobe, would be a very special gown set – the “Dark Indulgence” set. Sometimes you want to showcase a wonderful gown, but not in the usual, general just beauty looking way. Sometimes it needs to have a little special attitude, that goes a little bit in a more cool and dark direction ;). For this purpose I created the “Dark Indulgence” set.

WW - Poses - Dark Indulgence Set

Inspired by a gothic splendor or even lightly avant garde look, I wanted to have elegant poses that have a bit more of dramatic expression 😉

Wicca's Wardrobe - Dark Indulgence Full

For the look I chose one of my long time favourites of Miamai, the “Mourning” gown. The black gown comes with the wonderful head part and the collar. I just added the back fan from [glow] and the super amazing gloves that are compatible with my Slink hands.

To the simple textured gown I wanted to add some heavy makeup so I decided to wear the “Maudite 10” mask of the “Les Makeups” line of Miamai.

If you did not yet see my other poses and like the “Dark Indulgence” set just take a look at my sweet little Mainstore 😉 (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/New/240/183/22)

“Strong Enough”

God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I’d be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man? Nothing’s true and nothing’s right
So let me be alone tonight
Cause you can’t change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I’ll believe
Lie to me
But please don’t leave

I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
It’s try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man?

When I’ve shown you that I just don’t care
When I’m throwing punches in the air
When I’m broken down and I can’t stand
Will you be strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I’ll believe
Lie to me
But please don’t leave

Mea Culpa: Floral Intimitation & a Sweet Secret

by

MEa Culpa Full

Sometimes you go through your inventory and find all the goodies that you already pushed way back in your memories. So it happened to me today. I was about to go over to Mea Culpa, to do some office work and thought I could wear one of my old time favourites from Tatanka Kaligawa, owner and designer of Mea Culpa. I was looking for one specific outfit as I started to dally, trying some of the earlier creations. As they all have such significant names, I never can remember which outfit hides behind them. So I tried some of them to refresh my memories, until I stumbled over the “Floral Intimitation”.  I put it on and was totally in love again with that stunning creation. The amazing dress is based on red and black, my two favourite colors anyways and with the green tentacles it really is an eye catcher. The skirt is made in a floral shape and the basic red is covered by an awesome filigree lace texture. What as well caught my attention was the non symmetric parts of the shoulders and arms. The right side has a wonderful shoulder and wrist part while the left side just has the glove. The hat repeats the beautiful theme of the skirt and the waist is covered by a red flower belt. The upper body part has a very sexy touch as just a few lines and ornaments cover the private parts.

Mea Culpa Half

For the matching shoes I chose the “Gothica” shoes as well from Mea Culpa. With the HUD I changed the color to red to match the dress perfect.  🙂 . Ready to go over to Mea Culpa to do some paperwork. As I enterd the office I nearly fainted. Huge walls of new mail, offers and what not. Ok, first of all this chaos has to be sorted. That’s the typical office of an artist… as much as Tatanka has talent and creativity and a genius mid when it comes to designing… the worse he is with all his office stuff :p. While I was sorting the desk all of a sudden a small piece of paper, just yanked out from somewhere with a  few words and an underlined date. This looks interesting! I pushed some other stuff beside and pulled out that piece of paper and pulled it closer to decrypt the lovely hand of my boss.

Wow! It seems he plans a sale. Seems he planned this for the upcoming weekend and as well he wants to include the new, still unreleased female outfit he showed me a few days ago in his laboratory…

Suddenly I heard steps coming up the stairs outside the room. Quickly I pushed the note back under a huge pack of mail and pretended to clean the desk as Tatanka came in. He looked at me and I tried to make an innocent face while my hands sorted some letters. After a short talk he left the office to continue his work and I just finished mine before I went down to the store to help out a customer that asked for.

Maybe keep a close look on the notices this weekend for the upcoming special sale with some amazing discounted items!
