NOH8

by

(Models left to right: Arisia Ashmoot, Tandra Parx, Wicca Merlin, Photographer: Kaliope Faith)

On November 4, 2008 Proposition 8 passed in California, amending the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage. The defeat provoked a groundswell of initiative within the GLBT community.

The NOH8 Campaign is a photographic silent protest created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska (http://www.bouska.net) and partner Jeff Parshley in direct response with duct tape over their mouths, symbolizing their voices being silenced by the prop8 and with the words “NOH8” painted on their cheeks in protest.

Nearly two years since its inception, the NOH8 Campaign has grown to over 5,500 faces and continues to grow at an exponential rate expanding its reach. The campaign that began with portraits of everyday Californians from all walks of life and soon rose to include politicians, military personnel, newlyweds, law enforcement, artists, celebrities, and now Second Life community is also joining. A humble effort to strengthen the voices and fight for the rights of those who are victims of mere prejudice.

I had the great pleasure to pose for the newest release of  Body Talking :)! Arisia Ashmoot created a wonderful set for all who are shoe addicted… like me! 😉 This is a perfect set to get your shoes in the center of view… !

Different poses like standings, sits and also lying ones make it possible to cover any view that let your shoes look best 🙂

Arisia Ashmoot: “The other day when I saw Mea Culpa‘s new creation I got the inspiration for this new set of 10 poses to showcase every women’s big addiction… shoes…. and of course, mine too… “Shoes addicted” is an editorial set of poses specially designed to present those amazing shoes we all love, with also different styles of body postures to better fit the style of the shoes themselves… from fierce, to innocent and always fashionable.”

“Shoes addicted” has also variations for some of the poses, available only as single items, to showcase the outfits that goes with the shoes…

Even if this set is thought as an editorial set of poses, they all have the characteristic smooth transitions all Body Talking creations have.

You can find and try “Shoes addicted” at Body Talking Mainstore; or at the satellite store at Maritima Inc. and you can also find the fat packs available in Xstreet!

Sneak Preview – Mea Culpa Shoes!

by

Lastly as I was straightening up the laboratory of Tatanka Kaligawa a bit I suddenly stumbled over something… I looked down and..it was a single shoe..I was wondering how this came up here as he usually does not have ladies up in his laboratory but mine it were not too.. and I never saw himself in heels*winks* … I looked closer and saw a Mea Culpa logo on the sole…

My boss made shoes!!! I looked around but no one was there and he told me he would be out for a walk to get his head free for new ideas..and this can take time 😉 I searched for the second of that animal print shoes and before I found it I grabbed another pair from under his desk…

A sweet pair of ankle boots with a great texture and amazing accessories…

Again I saw the Mea Culpa logo on the sole and smiled..thinking on how I can smuggle them out of his laboratory…suddenly I found the second one of the animal print one and right beside another pair…

Wow! another pair of ankle boots with a fantastic heel…

Suddenly I heard the key at the door..he was coming back..I grabbed those 3 pairs and run out to the back door..

But as far as I know Tatanka it will not take long till the shoes will be available at the Mea Culpa Mainstore 😉

Wicca’s Wardrobe – Workshift at LeeZu ;)

by

Today I quarried through my wardrobe as I was getting ready for me LeeZu Modeling shift and searching for an outfit to wear…

I ended up with a neat combination of different things 😉

The “Cat Tighs” in black are a nice basic to start with… and after a look out of the window I decided that a jacket will be enough as a top and the “Margo” jacket in black would be the perfect desicion 🙂 A nice break for the black I put on the “O`LaLa Micro” jeans skirts in the ‘used’ color what broke the black very nicely without disturbing. As the days go colder I pulled out the “Miss Mara” scarf in ethno black and wrapped it around my neck.

Last but not least…shoes…suddenly I reminded that I got these prototypes of the new Mea Culpa shoes from Tatanka Kaligawa… “Raptor” they are called and not yet officially released..but as far as I know Tatanka it will not take too long, till they are available at the store so I can use them for my todays outfit 😉 A last look into the mirror…approved 😉

I took my keys and leftthe home for a nother shift at the LeeZu Mainstore… as nearly everyday ;), so if you like come visit me there and you can take look at the store and I can help if needed 🙂

In the end I  have the great honor to give you a peek on the next pose set of Body Talking. For this post I used the new “Sunny” set, made by Arisia Ashmoot. I had the great pleasure to be again a model for her vendor 😉 and she allowed me to use it as a sneak preview for this blog post 🙂

As far as I know Arisia, if she finds the time she will put the new set in the store by tomorrow latest ;), so make sure you do not miss the release of “Sunny” and stop by at the new Body Talking Mainstore!

Mystical or Colorful?

by

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – Black Widdow, Skin: Nuuna’s, Pose: Body Talking, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

“Black Widdow” is the latest release of Tatanka Kaligawa, designer of Mea Culpa. A beautiful black and mystical gown that turns heads everywhere. The long gown is decorated with amazing silver ornaments that go over the whole outfit. The prims that are attached in the back give a lightly asian touch, and make a wonderful transparent contrast. The big “fan” looking back parts are lightly transparent and wonderful flexible and move behind with every step you take. The clothing layers are made of amazing detailed textures that give the whole gown a fantastic formal and sophisticated touch. The shoulders carries very noble and lightly puffy sleeves. A total eye catcher is the hat. it is connected to the spine and “hovers” over your head. Lace hangs down in the back and the front is decorated with light silver lines. On the top of the hat you can find 2 awesome flowers that add a lightly sweet touch as a sweet contrast to the spiky, silver neck collar.

On every ballroom event or dinner party you will be the center of view with that fabulous gown!

My second outfit from Mea Culpa for today is a totally contrast to the first one 😉

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – Noite do Brasil, Skin: Baiastice, Pose: Body Talking, Model: Dancer Dallagio, Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

“Noite do Brasil” is a colorful outfit for the brave and color loving fashionista…the Carnival in Rio, or even for the special showgirl that wants to be outstanding 😉

The body itself is only covered by a wonderful short body suit without sleeves. At the belly you have an awesome gold framed space where you can show off wonderful belly jewels also 😉 The center for this outfit is definitely the back where the big, fluffy pink and purple parts and feathers are attached.  The hips are ornamented with little feathers too. The feet are covered by 2 pink parts too what bring the theme of the outfit lovely back at the bottom. Silver, spiky additions are the ankle parts, the shoulder attachments, the chest decoration and the fabulous head jewelry. A combination of noble metal and feathers make the perfect head pice for this extraordinary design!

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – Noite do Brasil, Skin: Baiastice, Pose: Body Talking, Model: Dancer Dallagio, Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

In the end I would like to thank the amazing lady that was posing for the “Noite do Brasil” – Dancer Dallagio. She looked so perfect in that amazing design that I had to ask her if she would pose for that pics 😉

Stunning & Sexy – “Mika” by Ginevra Lancaster

by

Wonderful, sexy and stunning – again I have the great pleasure to show you one of the creations of Ginevra Lancaster. I know her designs as always very detailed and filigree and with a special eye on the little things that make outfits to something special. 🙂 Today I have the opportunity to show her one of her last releases – “Mika”

“Mika” is a very sexy gown that shows off a lot of skin. The skirt has a very high slit on the right side, that shows off the whole leg. The top looks like a “wrapped” pice of wonderful satin that makes an awesome cleavage. In the back you have a very deep neckline. The eye catcher are definitely the silver ornaments that decorate the arms, chest, belly and waist. The “jewelry” is very filigree, light and shadows make a wonderful illusion of the noble metal. If you take a look at the shoes… they are also part of the outfit and match perfectly to the silver decorations. The skin tone can be changed by a HUD that also contains several nailpolishes!

Pretty in pink… a dream for hot summer days… and nights 😉 “Mika” is a totally must have for the summer season:)

by

For this post I was deciding on the “Elizabeth” in graffiti. A wonderful straight and clear gown. The top is made if a darker shade of grey what makes an awesome contrast to the lighter grey skirt. The skirt is made of 2 prim attachments. It starts tight at the hips and becomes wider as it goes down to the ground.

The top has a sweet texture with an amazing light and shadow game that let imagine little vertical folds. It has no lines on the shoulder and shows of a lot of skin what makes space for a lovely jewelry 😉  Also part of the whole outfit is the wonderful necklace. Different long strings that are loosingly hung down the cleavage.

Take the next taxi to Gasqhe and see the other colors and the beautiful creations in their Mainstore 🙂

Baiastice – Radiance Red… “Pulchra” introduces her red side of life ;)

by

Today I would like to show you the new skin of  Sissy Pessoa, designer of Baiastice. we all know her for her fabulous clothing.. but now she took all her skills ..wich are very detailed and very filigree… and created a wonderful skin… “Pulchra”

The skin is available in 30 makeups and with 4 different colors of hair bases; red, black, blonde and brown. Every skin comes with one hairbase and one bald base.

For now I would like to start with the red one… it is very rarely that you find a red hair base that looks natural..but Sissy made it!

The makeups are mae for every kind of you can think..anywayswich event or daytime with ne of the 30 makeups you are definitely matching!

For the day the light makeups with several colors of lipstick are perfect. Some unusual makeup combinations are perfect for special events or for modeling even on the runway and on pics.

What definitely catched my attention were the different combinations with red lipstick. Usually you have one very deep red lipstick with very light eyes, but here Sissy gave us different black and smokey eyes in combination with red lipstick!

Every color you can think of you will find as an eye shadow on the new “Pulchra” skin, also on a few you have an amazing sweet blush 🙂

From nude to dark red lips you will find every shade of red and pink that you can think of 😉

What should not miss for sure in a fashionistas makeup box? Exactly black lipstick with black eyes…I so love it!

Also for the pink and purple lovers Baiastice has an awesome makeup. and one lightly vintage skin with red lips and a sweet little birthmark above the right upper lip and a wonderful decent and light shining light eyeshadow.

The big eyes shadow of the last one in this picture and also in the very first one, got my attention also i never saw such big eyes shadows with such an awesome shine and so filigree detailed.

The skin itself has a wonderful satin shin bit not all the unnecessary glow. The shadows and lights are set perfectly to have every feature that a realistic looking body should have… I totally fell in love with that skin and I saw nothing yet that has this beautiful touch of sweetness and porcelain.

The skin is not only available in the “pale” tone if you make your way to Baiastice you can see all the amazing skin tones that Sissy Pessoa offers there 🙂
