Latest news from Ezura paired with the WGFAD contribution of Glam Affair. Ezura released wonderful new things for April 2012. One of them is the “Unseelie Fairey”.

The grey skin was made by Glam Affair for the “Wear Grey for a Day” event.

The skin comes with 3 different makeup layers in different colors that set an amazing color touch on the grey skin.

Simplicity is the key! – NYU prooves it!

by

Nyunyu Kimono: “NYU. Minimalistic high fashion luxury outfits and accessories for men and women. Less is more. Simple is beautiful.”

We all know Nyunyu Kimono from different projects… she was with Maritima, she creates wonderful sculpts and now finally she started her own brand for clothing. NYU is one of the best proves that simplicity is the key for so often. Her creations are wonderful textured and perfect arranged. No prim too much and not one too less.

For her debut she gave me a few wonderful mesh creations like the “Michelle Dress” that you can see in the first picture and the “Tube Dress” that you can see on the second. Both are the perfect basic for a wonderful casual and elegant chic. I am very curious what she will bring out next and I can promise that I already got a few more that I soon will showcase on my blog 🙂

If you can not wait or wanna buy some of her amazing new designs… visit the NYU Mainstore 🙂

Silken Moon for “Wear Grey for a Day”

by

Wear Grey for a Day :

A gathering of SL designers from across the grid of all styles and genres, coming together for two weeks of fundraising to raise funds to go towards the American Brain Tumor Association to aide in the awareness, research and in aiding those that suffer from brain tumours/cancer.

Malicia Python, owner and designer of Silken Moon, contributes wonderful items to help and raise the funds. She created a wonderful version of the “Stella” skin for this event. The “Stella” skin is one of the latest creations of Silken Moon. The “Wear Grey for a Day” version was made as a special for the WGFAD event only. The lips and eyes have a wonderful light grey color what gives the whole look a wonderful mystic touch.

Malicia Python: “This is the first time, Silken Moon takes part in the WGFAD Event, offering only new and exclusive items, Stella – the newest line with a special WGFAD makeup plus 2 bags of makeup, one contains 9 Lipglosses, the other tintable gloss, lipstripes and eyeshadows.


As I really mean to raise funds I packed the Gatcha with some lovely spring coloured mesh ballet flat, for only 50L$ a draw – you will find the purple pair in this box (if you really like, get another pair and we are even 🙂 )”

The 3rd Crazy Hair Hunt!!!

by

ONCE UPON A TIME, not so long ago, there was a woman with a dream.

FOREVER FOND OF THE ODD, colorful, interesting and unusual, she wondered why people looked so sad. Was it their perfectly nice and respectable – but muted hairs? Had nice – or even worse – boring hair sucked the spirit out of them?

THEN LIKE A BLAST, it came to her!
It wasn’t that they all had to be as one, it was that they had all forgotten how to throw caution to the wind. To be wild and free, to dance to their own tune like no one was watching, sing their own song, be a shepherd and not a sheep. To know they can be anything and not settling for less!
Perhaps she could help them? Find others who could assist her in showing those restrained by the real world how to let out their inner Vivianne Westwood couture model, outrageous drag queen, ripped and torn punk rocker or squeaky and shiny cybernun? Perhaps they secretly wanted to be a cat/spider/demon or toaster?
To not be afraid of new ideas and enjoy the madness of creation in all its weird and wonderful forms!

SO SHE AWOKE and planned to seek out like minds to assist her.

ACCOMPANIED by a marvellous bunch of trusty friends, she set about finding those capable of making brilliantly wild and crazy hair. Only specific makers were asked, because the team had to be sure they were worthy of the challenge ahead.
They all laughed excitedly and said “Let’s do it”!

Our dream becomes reality……….. yet again!

We bring you THE 3rd CRAZY HAIR HUNT !
Our theme this year is Flora and Fauna, we will create animalistic or planty hair (of DOOM )

The date is 31th March to April 30th………..

Happy Hunting!!!

Wicca’s Wardrobe: LOTD 03/29/2012 – A Chorus Line meets Madonna

by

Today it was relatively quiet and I roamed through my inventory, cleaned some out and sorted some in. In that process I tried a few things, I never looked at for in ages. I am sure you know what I mean, if I say, I went shopping, bought some stuff I would like to blog and it got hidden behind all the stuff I had to blog in my inventory*lol*

While I was playing around I got the movie/musical “A Chorus Line” in mind and I have no clue why. My i-tunes was playing Madonna songs and then suddenly as I was trying the “Esher Sheet Tights” leggings with the “Esher Wrap Vest” from ISON, that were sold during the event on the epoch sims, an idea got stuck in my mind… The wonderful corset comes from NV Corsetry and it was the hunt item for the Womens stuff hunt. Originally it came with a full outfit, but for this post I just took “The Ritz Corset” of it.

While I was developing my look I just remembered that Wenadrenia Soderstrom, owner and designer of J&W Jewelers, told me she made new jewelry and she sent me a few samples. For this jewelry, there has to be another post as she has so many new sets and works on a wonderful charity project as well, but like I said that has to be a special post soon 🙂 Nevertheless I wanted to give a short sneak preview of what she created last and as I tried the first set it so matched what I was aiming for. The “Snake-skin & Silver” set of the “Brooks Collection” with all its circles in silver, snake-skin, brown and black really made a great addition to the whole look. The earrings with the tassels hanging down, the necklace with the circles and tassel, the huge bangles and the belt totally matched my imagination 🙂

Last but not least I took a the hat of the “Love for McQueen” outfit, done by RFyre and looked into the mirror… yes that’s what I had in mind 😉

Stay styled,

Wicca
