Silken Moon – Eclipse Urban

by

Over the last week, Malicia Python, owner and designer of Silken Moon, and me had a lot of fun working on new vendor pictures for her store.

For some strange reason, SL did not let Malicia shoot clean snapshots and so I said, I could do the snaps. The artwork and putting all of those together, Malicia with her incredible Photoshop knowledge, was the way better idea 😉 I really enjoyed the time we spend on all those stylings and snapshots.

It was really challenging to style the different looks of the new “Eclipse” line. The first one was the “Urban Look”. Each look has something special and its own makeup color theme. For the “Urban” look I decided to go with the “Urban Asphalt” lips and a combination of the “Urban ES Harbour”, the “Soft Eye Sky” and the “Color Eye Silver” eye makeup from the new Eclipse line. If you take a close look you can see the love for the detail, that Malicia puts in each of her skins – like the right eyebrow is lightly shaved in a very cool way 😉

For the look, Malicia wanted something urban, grunge casual. The tank top from Maitreya together with the  jacket from AOHAROU and jeans from Phoenix Rising made a smart cool look. The “Douche” hair and the mesh boots from Dirty Lynx made the perfect finish for the whole look.

For this pics we used the bisque tone of the skin, but on the vendor picture at the end of this post you can see all the amazing tones and the special colored version as well.

Maniera Casting: YAY! I made it :)

by

Last Week I had the pleasure to b allowed to come to the live casting of Maniera. Maniera was a dream for me for a long time and I was very happy, that I made it through the first round and was invited to the live castings.

Maniera always stood for some extraordinary for me. The magazine they do, always was made in high quality and the models who are working there are all wonderful girls and guys with a great sense of fashion and style.

The live casting had a very cool theme and it was told in a little story so that I would like to just steal the words off the NC I got from Katherine Comet (Yes, I asked her and I may use them she said. Thanks for that Kat 😉 )

“Theme:

Your talent agent has gotten you an audition to be a supporting role in a Jungle Safari Thriller movie as the sidekick assistant to the leading actor who is a Detective trying to solve the case of a missing person.  You’ve been told you would be carrying all of the detective’s paraphernalia but you have to look good doing it.  You really want to knock their socks off with your knowledge and incredible ability to look like you’ve “been there, done that.”  Your audition will take place on location, IN THE JUNGLE, so you have to be prepared.

You know you have to be practical; the bugs and animals are out in full force but have been told you may not use any prim material which covers your face!  You MUST get this job as your career depends on it.

How would you dress and be prepared for the perils of jungle life, but still look the part of the supporting role in this major movie production?  
      
You’ve been given the storyline and requirements; now roll with it, have fun and good luck!”

The challenge it self was great fun for me. I tried to slip into that role and thought about it very seriously.. about not having high heels walking through a jungle and carry stuff around, about all the bugs and little animals that would eat me up if my clothing would be too short and show too much skin… all that stuff. And while I was searching through my inventory all that old movies like Indiana Jones, Crocodile Dundee, The Mummy and many more came into my mind and slowly a look was born. Thanks to all of the judges that made one of my dreams come true and took me to Maniera as a proud Maniera Model 🙂

The Undefeated Creature

by

We all heard the stories about Yeti´s, unicorn, chupacabra or even Nessie. Many people claimed to have seen them, but nobody actually caught them. Rumors and stories about this fantasy beings have been told since generations.

But now in the year 2012 something strange is going on deep in the spooky forest.deep down in Ireland. People found foot prints, first they though it might be a hoofed animal but now it changed all. People claimed to have seen a mysterious wild creature, yet female looking , she got a dark skin, horns, wild hair and hooves. This creature must have been hiding good because nobody ever was able to catch her, rumours are spread that the one that tames this beast will have all the wishes fulfilled that he or she might have.

Many people failed at trying to find her, a lot of people even didn´t return from their adventure. But one day a brave young man decided to try his luck to find this being, he got laughed at and people took bets on him – whether he would come back and no.

One day this mysterious creature roamed around the forest to try to find something to eat, after all she was really gentle and friends with the nature, she wouldn´t harm animals or humans. Her food was nuts and plants. She was a peaceful being, and over the time she got sad, because people tried to chase her and the family and now she was the onliest one left from her species.

The friendly beast took a small break at a small lake, she didn´t feel any danger so she wasn´t aware that a man was sitting in the bush right next to her, she hummed a little song and thought about her joyful peaceful life in the forest when suddenly a man jumped out of the darkness with a drawn sword.

She stopped breathing for a moment and thought she would end up like all of her other ancestors before her. After she got some clear thoughts she jumped off and tried defending herself but couldn´t find a way to fight back. She started running, and she ran and ran. Her heart was beating heavily, she just wanted to carry on her species, even though she would be the last one alive.

The man was still chasing her, she looked back and saw him following her with the big sword in his hands. She ran faster, but then, she stumbled over a tree root and fell. Her ankle started hurting and she couldn´t find a way to stand up again. With the last power she got back on her feet, but the male was too close now and as she turned, she ran directly in the big sword he had in his hands right behind her. A huge pain run through her body and silver tears were running down her cheeks as the man stopped in front of her to finish his prey.

She felt her power vanish and broke down to the ground, feeling the smooth and damp grass of the morning underneath her. Her last view was the male, standing above her his hands raised, lucky about his victory. In the moment of her death he would loudly call his wishes out in the forest, like the rumors said and like it always had been when one of her species was murdered.

She closed her eyes, a last silver tear ran down her cheeks, her breathing went quieter and quieter until she finally died on the forrest ground, kissed by a few last sunbeams that guided her over to where all her ancestors waited for her.
