MVW 2012: National Gown for Miss Panama 2012 by Tres Beau & Finesmith

Today I would like to take a closer look in the national gown of Miss Panama 2012, Miss Mely Gibbs. The fantastic “Miss Panama”costume was made by Kimmera Madison, yes again a Miss Virtual World 2012 design by Tres Beau 😉

I was thinking by myself, if I could think about something typical for
Panama, and I was not really able to. I tried to google a bit and found a few traditional costumes, that looked very close to the one Tres Beau did. Again was impressed on the research, Kimmera did to create this incredible and adorable costume. Panama is the southernmost country of Central America, and many different cultures and influences got settled down there. To get the exact information about that I recommend to take a look at Wikipedia, what I did too and why I should just copy information you can read at the place where it came from ;p (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama) But I saw a lot of indian influences as well and some of those looked very close to the one Kimmera did 🙂 She really put a lot of work, love and eye for the detail on this costume. All this different fabrics like metal, feathers, delicate fabrics for the clothing layers… for me a again a masterpiece of art. First, as I put on that gown, I thought ‘omg how can I ever find a pose for that huge gown?!?’ but I have to admit it was not that hard as I thought of… I kinda think Kimmera knows about that and she designs even the most huge looking gowns and costumes and you still can find poses to showcase them. The attachment points are chosen so very well that the gown moves naturally with every inch you move by yourself. For me that just underlines, that Tres Beau is one of the most popular and everlasting brands in SL for a reason 😉 “Miss Panama” is now available at the Tres Beau Mainstore.

Miss Mely Gibbs chose an already existing set from Finesmith to complete her look. The “Coral Blossom” set sets an awesome blue accent as well with the necklace, the wonderful earrings and the stunning face ornament. All the wonderful round shaped gems picked up the theme for me and I think it was a good choices for the beautiful “Miss Panama” costume. Normally you have an awesome tiara as well that is included in the “Choral Blossom” it just would have got lost under that huge headpiece of the “Miss Panama” costume 😉 The “Coral Blossom” set you will find in different colors as well at the Finesmith Mainstore.

Awesome New Poncho at Yasum!!!

Again hot news of the tailoring of Yasum!!! The “High Treat Pants” are similar to the brown ones I had in another Yasum post (here: http://wiccamerlin.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/fantastic-new-outfit-from-yasum/) , just darker and I skipped the cute belt. What is the center of view for today is the cool “Poncho Charm”, here shown in black. This amazing way to be dressed right for the winter just caught my heart. The arm parts are not directly connected to the main part and that adds for me the little edge between the great Yasum poncho and others :p. If you take a closer look you will see that this poncho is not just black it has a very filigree texture of little squares and each one has a different texture… stunning!!!

The boots are as well part of the complete outfit… yes you heard right this is a complete ready-to.wear outfit! The boots are like I love it for such casual chick outfits… plateau soles and no heels :p As well on the shoes you can find all the crazy little amazing details… I would say… Yasum is definitely a brand we have to watch out for in 2012… I see Azlyn Vaher as one of the new stars on the fashion sky!

MVW 2012: Evening Gown for Miss Panama 2012 by Tres Beau & Finesmith

Miss Panama 2012Miss Mely Gibbs – made her way to Tres Beau for her evening gown for the Miss Virtual Wold 2012 finale. Kimmera Madison, owner and designer of Tres Beau, again did an incredible job on this wonderful and detailed gown. “Miss Gibbs” is the prove, how exciting and interesting a one color gown can be is the designer has the skills to do so. Kimmera certainly has them with her long past of designing and creating. The different shades of brown and all the little details make this stunning gown to an artistic creation. The bodice is made with sheer parts as well and it adds a very elegant and sexy touch to the same time. The wide skirt catched parts of the texture of the bodice but it is fully opaque. The awesome ruffles and folds on the train in the back again show Kimmera’s incredible designing skills. What caught my eyes were this beautiful roses in the back, that#s why I tried to find a pose to show the as well 🙂 If you love that gown as much as I do you can get yours at the Tres Beau Mainstore.

MVW 2012: Evening Gown for Miss Thailand 2012 by Elan

The wonderful “Miss Virtual World” gown by Elan was worn by Miss Thailand 2012, Miss DiamondGem Destiny. Alatiel Malies shows that she is an experienced SL designer for quite some time with that amazing gown. One thing I admired Alatiel Malies always for, she is the perfect example that simplicity can be so stylish and fashionable. The “Miss Virtual World” gown again shows that you do not need a hell lot of prims and a million different textures to make an elegant and interesting gown. The skirt is open in the front and with that it has a very sexy touch added to the elegant style. If you take a second view you will see the beautiful details and textures Alatiel added on this gown, the little flowers at the hips, the wonderful prim that decorates the deep neckline in the front, simply stunning. The “Miss Virtual World” gown from Elan is available in 8 more awesome colors. Just make your way to the Elan Mainstore and check it out!

Show your teeth with Silken Moon

Lately Malicia Python surprised me with something I did not see until then… now you will say ‘ open mouth and show your teeth is old stuff and long existing’… yes but the difference is Silken Moon not only works with layers, alphas or tattoos!

One reason, why I never used this open mouth feature until now, was that I did not like most of the painted teeth that are just added on a makeup layer. Silken Moon tried it with adding some prims to make it even more real!

For now you will find clean pearl white teeth, braces, lilac braces and some golden teeth at the Silken Moon Mainstore. In the package you will find the alpha layer to open your mouth, some tattoo layers what makes it possible to wear them even without the prims, and the 4 different prims to add to make the perfect look. Since I have the Silken Moon “Show your teeth” pack I really enjoy showing off my braces 😉 With some freckles and that little brace you can create some cute casual looks 😉
