“My Heart has been always Yours”

Recently I had a talk with Trouble, my little brother in SL (that grew over many years) and we came across an idea we had for a while, but it never seemed to be the right time. Now it was the right time and we talked about my sweet little corner in the Eclipse Magazine, where I could contribute something with all my weird and crazy ideas. I always missed a more roleplay based fashion and places section. Not the typical fashion spread that we all got tired of seeing in all the magazines, more something with fantasy but still themed and with according places to go. More than that I am allowed to have a little paragraph about the theme to characterize and explain certain genres a little bit. I do not know how I can describe it properly, but my little “Across the Grid” section in the Eclipse Magazine was born *winks* Thank you Trouble for giving me a corner to express all my funky ideas and dreams!

I love steampunk in RL and SL and so it was an easy choice what my initial theme would be – Steampunk!

One of the pictures that I did for the magazine, is the one above (the other one I will showcase in a separate blog post). The style was based on a look I did for the Second Life CyberCon show we did with Madd Modelz, I just did pimp it a little bit more to go towards steampunk even more. For the show Tour Blanche – another close friend of mine – wrote a wonderful story to my look, which I have to put down here as well so that it wasn’t just for the show and I can read it over and over again myself too because I love it so much. Thank you so much Tour for that incredible, wonderful and amazing story.

There once was a man. He was brilliant, but his brilliance made him an outcast, exiled for dabbling in upsetting the natural order, attempting to create life itself. It was not so many years later that he had his first true breakthrough, and /she/ was awakened. A construct from head to toe, she was built with the purpose of being his assistant. Her metallic body was capable of working without tiring, and her capacity to learn made her adept at not only aiding in his work, but also conversing.

While the strangeness of her voice and slightly inhuman mannerisms might repel some, hers was the only companionship he had. She would be the reason he gave up pursuing further research. He viewed her as his magnun opus, and continued to refine her as needed as the years went on, rather than creating new constructs. While she was capable of thought, she was bereft of true feeling. Though she went through the learned motions to embrace him when he needed it, and spoke affectionate words, she did not truly know what they meant.

Over the decades, her parts were improved or sometimes replaced with mismatched pieces, but he aged, growing old, tired, and eventually infirm. On his deathbed, he pledged his love to her, “My heart has always been yours.” When he perished, she surgically extracted his heart, and using all he had taught her, connected it to herself. When this was done, his devotion to her strangely resonated within her chest. It struck her core like a hammer, and for the first time, part of her metal shell cracked and broke loose. A truth revealed: She had not been a full construct all along. She did not know whose body went into her creation, but she did know that she now missed him for the first time in her life, and yearned to hear his voice again. She knew now what he felt, as she felt it too; a love for him. She would find a way to bring him back. For now, she would preserve his heart as a part of her, and wander the earth, seeking the forbidden knowledge she would need.

Wicca’s Originals @ ACCESS Anniversary // June 2020

Wicca’s Originals @ ACCESS Anniversary Round // 12th June – 8th July

We’re not saying the Sinny boots from Wicca’s Originals will make you a sinner, we’re not saying they’re exclusively for sinners. But we will say they’re design is so sleek, it’s sinful. The high heel and smooth arcing rise added to the foot, combined with the tight hug of the leg achieves a very attractive, feminine look. However, this is tempered by tough-looking buckles all along the leg, a bulky thickness to that heel, and metal grills on the front and back of the base of the platform of these boots. If you want a look that is both sexy, but also says you’re no fragile flower and can take a rougher touch, these boots are for you. Comes in a full 10 colors for Maitreya, Legacy, Hourglass and Freya.

Since ACCESS has it’s Anniversary round we put out a gift for the ACCESS Update Group, which is free to join certainly! Happy Birthday ACCESS – Happy Birthday Z A R A!

Wicca’s Originals @ Vintage Fair // June 2020

Wicca’s Originals @ Vintage Fair  // June 12th – 22nd

The latest in fashion from Wicca’s Originals is the Wyatt waistcoat and pants. This unisex, double-breasted waistcoat sports a somewhat subtle but eye-catching diamond pattern of shiny sequins to flatter the smooth fabric. The cut of the waistcoat as well as the metallic flair on the collar makes this a great fit for any steampunk wardrobe, and the low neck and sleeveless design gives plenty of options to accessorize. The pants are sporting a double-fastened leather belt, as well as a series of several matching straps at the thigh and lower leg, binding the fabric tight to the leg to avoid snags as well as providing a few convenient places to strap tools. A deep pocket is available with spur style fasteners to keep personal effects, or possibly to serve as a place to hold screws, bolts, washers and nuts. Especially handy if you need to maintain any body parts or machines on the go! Comes in left or right-legged styles, and is designed to combine very well with the Eagleden leg augmentation (pictured, not included). Nine color palettes are available to choose from to match your styling needs. The Wyatt Outfit and Pants are made for Maitreya Lara, Slink Hourglass, Belleza Freya and Signature Gianni!

Wicca’s Originals @ We♥RP 2020

Wicca’s Originals @ We♥RP (May 4th – 31st)

The RX-01 Spine by Wicca’s Originals is one of our most potent bodyware augments. While not as overt as the Elmstone Head (HERE)  and not as obvious in function as limb replacements, the RX-01 Spine brings its power to where it really matters: the nervous system. Yes, this augment is keyed to one of the most sensitive systems in the humanoid form and is capable of pushing the rest of the wearer’s body beyond its limits. Neural responses and muscle memory can be recorded and pre-programmed for precision reactions even before the conscious, slower organic mind can process what has happened. Pain signals can be isolated and deferred, minimized to below-shock thresholds (Or, for the true masochists, amplified). The external pieces of the artificial vertebrae were designed not just with function in mind, but also are quite stylish, sporting a true cyberpunk aesthetic. With the RX-01 Spine, the input/output system of the humanoid is purely under your control.
RX-01 Spine fits just about everyone – Maitreya Lara, Belleza Freya, Legacy, Slink Hourglass, and Signature Gianni.

 

Since it is the We♥RP Anniversary Round we put a little unisex gift for 10L$ only!
