Wicca’s Originals @ Mainframe // July 20th – August 13th

So, you think you’re achieved an hourglass figure? Think again. The Cryo Torso & Top redefines cosmetic surgery. By removing all those pesky organs in the abdomen and replacing them with the latest tech from Wicca’s Originals, one can achieve an extreme look previously unimaginable. The spine vertebrae are replaced with a series of titanium rings, which protect the highly sensitive circuitry and electrical coils stored within. A pair of springs flank it, complete with reaction wheels to provide better balance than the meat body ever could. A set of wires and tubes also help connect the upper and lower half, where additional parts may be removed in order to supply a miniature reactor as a power supply. A simple tube top maintains modesty by covering one’s breasts. By purchasing this body modification and electing this experimental surgery, the buyer agrees to forfeit any removed organs to Wicca’s Originals and agrees not to hold them liable for any health complications which may arise. Ten color patterns/metals are available, for Maitreya only.

LeLutka NEWS: Fleur 2.0 is coming soon!!!

July 19, 2020 by Wicca Merlin

Another new head for the LeLUTKA Evolution Line! Fleur will be the next release on the 24th of July and it comes with a bunch of new features and updates – you will LOVE them!

Lately I as asked a lot of times, what the difference between the Origins and the Evolution Line of LeLUTKA. They are both amazing and I still use some of the Origins heads sometimes, especially if I want to use some of my old skins or makeup appliers. Mainly I changed to the Evolution Line, because BoM does give me so much more possibilities for makeups and face mods. The Origins Line does support all the applier systems (LeLutka and Omega) while the Evolution Line – which is the newest line – is made to use the Bakes on Mesh (BoM) system. You still can use Appliers for Skin, lashes and eyes, while you need layers or special HD Appliers for all other modifications… old appliers won’t work on the new Evolution Line!

With the 2.0 update we again got so many more new and shiny things to play with. You now get an option to have 4 different lengths of your lashes, all animations were remastered and look even more realistic and we get 5 new extra moods as well (Frown, Focus, Casual, Influencer, Serious). For the expressions, which we all love to make pictures and snapshots we as well got 5 new ones (PSE 1-5). What I loved a lot was the more detailed and remastered eye controls (I will ad a detailed picture of the new HUD below), that give us 49 eye positions for each eye – what a genius feature especially for photography!

Fleur has very flexible bone muscles, that could cause you a little bit more work on your shape (if you do not want to use the amazing shape that comes with the head already!), but with that as well you can make so unique and special looks. It really is worth the work 😉

And now for something that really made me speechless… You all know I am a piercing and tattoo lover and with Fleur I got a huge range of different piercings and all fitted for my head! One for the brows, 8 for the ears, 5 for the lips, 4 for the nose and one for the tongue/frenulum! And you can all operate and color change them with your HUD! I as well digged a little more in the “LeLUTKA.BoM.AddOns (f)” folder and found the amazing eyeshadow I am wearing for todays post… but as well I did find some kick ass face masks and face mods, which I have to showcase in one of my next posts, as I wanted to show you the amazing new Fleur head in all its beauty first *winks*

I feel so bad to fangirl about that new head so bad and it still needs a few days until you can get your hand on it, but I could not resist when I saw all those new amazing features!!!

Make sure you keep an eye on the LeLUTKA news and new releases around the 24th of July 2020!!!

Wicca’s Originals @ ACCESS // 12th July – 8th August

Wicca’s Originals has put together another fine set of footwear. The Prudence Booties offer a platform with a high-arch supported by a thick, tiered heel. From that starting point, the booties sport a bold punk flavor, with a spiked ‘collar’ wrapped around the top of the foot. A trifecta of chains decorate the ankle, the foot, and the platform itself, shaking to announce every step. They show that the wearer is no stranger to a bit of pain, and might be too wild a spirit to tame. Coming in 10 colors, they’re the perfect accessory to match with punk styling or fetishwear. Prudence are made for Maitreya, Legacy, Freya & Slink (Hourglass & Physique)

Wicca’s Originals @ Midsummer Enchantment // July 10th – 26th

Fantasy clothing is known for its flowing embellishments, but what footwear to match it with? The Lyndis Booties answer that question, with flowing, swirling metal ornamentation decorates the sides of these booties, and even continues on down to replace the heel spike. They give a magical air, the kinds of shoes which are undoubtedly the height of fae fashion in the Unseelie Court. High lacing keeps them tight about the ankle and accentuates the shape of the shin and lower leg. If you want a bit of whimsy in your accessorizing, these are a great option. With 11 colors to choose from, they’ll match a wide variety of outfits. For Maitreya, Legacy, Slink and Freya.

Wicca’s Originals @ Black Fair // July 4th – 18th

You don’t have to show a lot of skin to be seductive. Sometimes, leaving things to the imagination is part of the seduction, a promise of things to be revealed and unwrapped when deserved. The Tonya outfit by Wicca’s Originals is designed with this philosophy in mind. The top of the outfit is a form-fitting, modest cut. A high, tight collar shows just a peek of throat, with stylized shoulder accents which are echoed on the lower sleeves. There is a matching pattern of strips across the chest, hinting at where cleavage would normally be seen and giving just enough of an illusion to inspire the mind. A series of buttons go all the way down the top, allowing a very slow and deliberate undressing, and lacing on the sides allows the wearer to make sure it is snug in all the right places. The outfit comes with a tight pencil skirt. The top can be purchased single as well! Ten color patterns to choose from, for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Freya bodies. A perfect look for a woman in charge, get it today!

Selfie!

July 4, 2020 by Wicca Merlin

Lately real life is very time consuming – more than it used to be before Covid 19. As a musician and teacher you kinda double your hours with the same income than you had before. Classes need to be decreased to full fill the standard of hygienic behavior given by the state and online schooling takes ore time as well, as you need to learn all the new tools you need. It is ok, but with that SL time gets reduced a lot lately for me.

But all those amazing new releases – just dragged me to SL and I had to snap a quick picture to showcase at least a few of them today 😉 I am not a snapshot only person and so it as well takes time to post work the picture(s), which makes it not really more easy if you already are short on time… but times will bet better again, I am sure they will 🙂

Wicca’s Originals @ Kinky // June 28th – July 23rd

The Faythe Booties by Wicca’s Originals are the latest fetish foot fashion you need in your life. These vinyl boots conform to the outline of your feet and ankles so smoothly, it’s like a second, shiny skin. The exaggerated, high arch and tall, thin lacing up the front gives these heels an very feminine, almost delicate ballet posture. This is in sharp contrast to the bulky platform and sharp spike of the heel, which is sharp enough to dig into the skin of a lover. A pair of latex straps affixed near the top of the boot sport little locks, securing the boot from removal and keeping those feet arched high. The high shine of these boots along with the bold contrasting colors, coming in 10 different options with 6 metals for the locks and heel spike, makes them real eye-catchers. They can complement and complete any fetishwear set. Get yours today! Comes in Maitreya, Legacy, Freya, and Slink (Hourglass+Physique)

“My Heart has been always Yours”

June 28, 2020 by Wicca Merlin

Image made for Eclipse Magazine // June 2020 https://issuu.com/eclipsemagazinesl/docs/eclipse_magazine_june_2020?issuu_product=document_page&issuu_context=action&issuu_cta=like_publication

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.
