The Runway Perfect Hunt #4 – Part 8

May 27, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

The Runway Perfect Hunt goes in it’s 4th round . Morgane Batista again made it, to get amazing designers to participate in one of the most famous hunts on the grid. Even if the title says “The hunt with models in mind” does not mean this hunt is limited to models only. All the amazing and versatile designs are amazing additions to everybody’s wardrobe, even the males will find some amazing hunt prizes in some locations This year the hunt is not a total freebie hunt, each hunt item costs $5 Linden. With a total of 50 shops you reach a maximum of $250 Linden, what is a great amount for so many amazing quality designs!

After being absent because of RL, I would like to show some more of the wonderful Runway Perfect Hunt items before the hunt is over.

My today’s focus would be the Mainstore of Bubble’s Design. Bubble made a wonderful dress for the hunt. The “Poems” dress is something super special. A sheer top that carry a wonderful poem on the front

“I’m by your side,
thinking you, walking you
I’m in your thoughts,
knowing that I am in you
I am for you,
to serve you and make you dream
‘m into you…”

and another one on the back

“I thought of you,
on your lips and desire,
in your eyes and silence,
in your skin and feelings,
and have decided that you want,
but neither thought I needed …”

The skirt is very flexible and it looks like it would have many parts that go down from the waist. For me the dress really was something special in the whole TRPH #4.

The beautiful makeup as well is part of TRPH #4. You will find the “Tresor” makeup at White Widow, the amazing store done my the photographer legend Julie Hastings. As much as she puts into her pictures she puts into her own creations like the “Tresor” makeup for the hunt. You will not only find the black and white version in the hunt item 😉 so hurry to see what else Julie put onto her TRPH #4 box 😉

The huge “Lovelyn” hair, that for me totally goes with the “Poems” dress, comes from EMO-tions. The “Dawn” necklace as well was made by the hand of Mirja Mills, owner and designer of EMO-tions.

You do not have much more time left for the TRPH #4, so hurry to get your hunt items 😉

The Runway Perfect Hunt #4 – Part 7

May 20, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Today I would like to put the spotlight on Styles by Danielle. Dani made the wonderful “Lisa” pants for the perfect runway hunt. The dark blue pants with the white ornaments on the right leg and the little belt at the waist, give a basic for many different kind of styles. You can go for a harem look, something arabic or even for something more futuristic like I did. Since the pants are from Styles by Danielle, I thought mabye it would be a good idea to combine it with a top and jewelry as well made by Dani Plassitz, owner and designer of Styles by Danielle. The “Krony” earrings are the actual group gift of Styles by Danielle, the “Taj” bracelets and the “Mims” top as well are from Styles by Danielle. For the shoes I chose the “BAX Booties” and the hair is on of my long time favourites from PurpleMoon. A little focus I would like to put on the face decoration as well. Dahiel, owner and designer of PosESioN, is well known for his amazing poses, but lately he started again to make some amazing jewelry and acessories. The “Centaurus” set is one of his newest additions. Usually it has a wonderful horns nose piercing as well but for today I only used the horns that go to the forehead.

The Runway Perfect Hunt will last until the 30th of May so do not hesitate too long to grab your hunt prizes

Ascension

May 14, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Explore the seven levels of the Ascension tower and lose yourself in a mysterious world where musical notes appear from under your feet, robotic bumblebees hover close by and particles shimmer in the alien atmosphere.

Create your own music alone or with friends by jumping on the glowing sound pads and solve riddles under the illuminated eyes of the mantis sphinx!

Sound is important to the Ascension experience, so make sure your local sounds are on and walk through the whole sim to discover mystical places and secret trails.

Created by Mantis Oh (Cari Lekebusch in RL) you can also look forward to a schedule of Techno music events and DJ sets from RL record label H-Productions.

It’s time to ascend…

With this words I made my way to the Ascension sim, that was buited on LEA 16 by Mantis Oh. Mantis Oh is well known for futuristic environments and objects in SL. “Ascension is a fun and immersive experience that can only be found in virtual worlds. It is a build based on the intuition and actions of each individual visitor and encourages collective consciousness and social interaction through a range of sound displays, visuals and futuristic objects.”, the official press release says and I have to say, I was not dissapointed after I explored the sim, looked tried all of the great installations and saw all this amazing buildings. The Ascension sim is really worth a trip. Do not wait too long as it will be only available till the end of May.

That was not all as Persia told me, that he not only builted that amazing sims and arranged all that great DJ events, Mantis Oh as well creates prefab homes and … what really caught my attention, he creates wonderful futuristic acessories. The “MartialArts Armguards”, the “Martial Arts Waistguard”and the “Third Eye Tiara” headpiece are made by Mantis Oh, owner and creator of Hybrid Productions. All of his pieces are incredible detailed and you can only imagine how long Mantis sit and worked on them. The belt with the ornaments and the to little bags where you can put bottles or what ever in are as well great for a fantastic roleplay 😉 But for me it is a wonderful fashion accessory, as O really love to experiment with futuristic ideas ;). The “Third Eye Tiara” reminded me of the ‘Visor’ of Lieutenant Commander Georgdi Laforge of the Star Trek – The next generation movies and so it was clear I had to do a post about something futuristic 😉 The armparts and the belt as well have little glowing effects, that are not static. There is many more awesome creations of Mantis Oh at the Hybrid Productions Mainstore and I am sure this is not my last post about them 😉

I thought for a longertime about a cool styling for the “Outland” from [sys], that is sold at the 100 Block event. The cool blue & black pants outfit perfectly goes together with the acessories from Hybrid Productions. The top has a very sexy touch at it looks like it would be sheet while it is totally opaque. The pants are mesh made and very modern with the loose style. The “Vouge” shoes are as well from [sys] and made the perfect addition to the whole look.

So I only had to find the right jewelry and hair. For the jewelry I remembered that Sora Tatham, one of the genius designers of Gabriel, gave me a wonderful mesh set. She said the “Curb Chain” set would be her first try for mesh jewelry and I was totally amazed as I put it on. The jewelry comes with a HUD that lets you chnage the texture of the jewelry to 3 different colors. The hair comes from EMO-tions. I loved the way how the mohawk looks lightly ‘messy’ at the ends and the wonderful made braids that are covering the head. A nice mixture of different hairstyles together on one 😉

So… it’s time to ascend… 😉

The Runway Perfect Hunt #4 – Part 6

May 10, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Today I would like to drag the spotlight over to GizzA. GizzA made an amazing half mesh/half prims gown for the hunt. The wonderful turquoise and white, tight gown fawns dreamy around the fashionistas shape. The top is shoulder free and lets a lot of free room for awesome jewelry. In my case for the “Foliole” set of Finesmith. The special color of this set was one on the OGlam specials in the past but this kind of red together with the incredible teal gem matched “The Runway Perfect Hunt” gown from GizzA. For the hairstyle I chose one of the new EMO-tions hairstyles called “Sessie”. The huge bun paired with the loosely wisps just made the dreamy look complete 😉

The Runway Perfect Hunt will last until the 30th of May so do not hesitate too long to grab your hunt prizes

The Runway Perfect Hunt #4 – Part 5

May 9, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

I always had a weakness for black & white outfits and stylings and as I saw the hunt prize from location #23, Dot BE Fashion I would not resist to do another totally black & white look ;). Boniefacio, owner and designer of Dot BE Fashion, made a wondeful 2 part outfit called “Female Outfit” for the 4th Runway Perferct Hunt. The long black mesh pants with the wide sleeves reminded me of the good old flares of the 70s. Together with the long, geometric black & white textured mesh top it gets a light touch of a retro style. To do not another totally retro style I decided to add one of my favourite 80s look hair and the “Britsh Loafers” from Redgrave, what pulled it more towards the 80s. To give it another more modern touch I added the awesome “Dahlink Wild Zebra” makeup from Zibska and the “Lips Stripes” from Silken Moon, wich both went amazing with the black & white “Female Outfit” top :).

The hunt is going very well, I saw many people at the various locations as I was looking around myself. Today’s featured locations would be #2 and #5, Headturners and Baboom Couture. The amazing “Kelly” dress with the super cute and huge hat are the contribution from Baboom. A wonderful summer dress in black and light pink. The shoulders are free from any lines and with the huge floppy hat it gives a real summer feeling 🙂

The lipstick and the bangles come from Headturners. There is a pair of nails as well going with them but I lately like my mesh hands so much, that I did not wanna fiddle around 8 hours, to make them fit to the mesh hands ;). The light pink lipstick goes perfectly with the “Kelly” gown.

Today I would like to showcase the contributions of Alafolie, location #24 and [mock], location #45.

Alafolie has a wonderful ready-to-wear outfit that comes with some amazing features. The sleeveless short is knotted at the right hip and the pants have an amazing shine. What makes this outfit super special, there comes a HUD with it what lets you change the textures of the pants and as well of the top. In the box that you get you will find shoes also that match the outfit, I just wanted to go with a bit more casual style instead of heels 😉

[mock] has a set of amazing lips glosses for the TRPH #4. 3 different colors of gloss and each one in 3 different versions. All 3 colors are wonderful nude colors and add an awesome shine to your lips without being upaque like usual lipsticks 🙂

The Runway Perfect Hunt #4 – Part 2 & Amazing News from Finesmith

May 3, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

The amazing “Vintage Dress Neon” is done by Silken Moon, location #4. The short mesh dress is a firework of colors. While the front is dominated by red, range and yellow the backside features the green and blue color themes.

The stylish hair comes from store #14 – L+N, a very popular brand for extra ordinary hair and clothing. The wild hair looks like flames in the red/brown color and the awesome flowers at the top and the back make this a total eye catcher.

The cute shoes as well are part of TRPH and you can find them at location #13. Loordes of London contributes the “Burbleary” booties. Black booties with a red sole and green top.

Now I would like to take a closer look at the jewelry, what is not part of the hunt but matched the styling so amazingly 😉 The new “Matbuja” set from Finesmith, is nothing that you can just wear as a ‘side acessory’. The set is something that definately pulls some focus. The huge plates of the necklace are repeated with the earrings and the bracelet is as well part of the set. What I liked a lot was the perfect mix of silver and brown/grey shades that give the whole set a very realistic look. For this post I used the platinum version but if you take a look at the Finesmith Mainstore, wou can find more amazing colors 😉

The amazing lips gloss was provided by [mock]. The “Mariellis Lip Shine” comes in 3 different colors and each has 3 different versions.

To complete my styling I added the “Cubism” glasses from epoque because they underlined the retro feeling, that came with the outfit and the hat, in such an amazing way. The jewelry is one of my long times favourites from Mandala called “Sinra”.
