The german national gown for sure was something special for me, as I am german myself. All of the gown are stunning and wonderful but for some strange reason I have a special relation ship to this one. It reminds me a lot on the days of my childhood, where I was read so many fairy tales and novels of the Brothers Grimm. Rapunzel, Dornroeschen, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Cap, Snow White… All of the princesses in those storys must have worn such gowns… I am sure! 😉 I really like the imagination of a german national gown with the relation ship to the Brothers Grimm and I never saw this idea before for such a purpose. The “Germany’s Crowning Jewel” gown, The White Armory/TWA made for Falbala Fairey, our Miss Germany 2012, is a masterpiece of art. I know TWA for some time and I always adored their medieval and roleplay gowns and clothing, so I am very happy that Falbala chose TWA, she could not have made a better choice for her imagination. The dress itself is made of black and many shades of blue. The huge skirt is made after the typical medieval skirt style with the wide hips and all the awesome folds and ruffles. The bodice as well has a black basic but the blue corset is made with excellent and filigree ornamented textures in all shades of blue. The prim parts on wrists and neck as well add a very special touch and show the love for the detail of designer Bee Dumpling. The “Germany’s Crowning Jewel” gown as well contains a crown that can be worn with and without lace in the style of the wrist and neck prims. The “Germany’s Crowning Jewel” gown you can find at the The White Armory Mainstore.
The jewelry set for sure comes from Finesmith and yula did an incredible job to make the total perfect set for this beautiful gown. The “Dornroeschen” set is really the set for the fairytale princess! It has so many great pieces and you really can see that they were made for the “Germany’s Crowning Jewel” gown. The 2 parts for the head, the delicate hairbun diamonds and the wonderful head-piece with that long parts that end in framed, awesome gemstones. A collar, a pair of earrings and the amazing corset decor of little flowers with a blue center complete the stunning “Dornroeschen” set, that you now can get at the Finesmith Mainstore.

Mea Culpa made as well the national gown for Miss Spain 2012. Shena Neox made the 2nd runner-up for Miss Virtual World 2012 in 2 gowns of Mea Culpa. The beautiful evening gown I already showed in an earlier post, today I would like to lead the focus on the national gown of Miss Spain 2012. This gown really combines fashion, style and tradition. Tatanka Kaligawa showed more than once, that he perfectly can mix ethnic, traditional influences with a modern style of fashion and art. “Valentia del Toro” he named his creation and it really honors its name if you take a closer look on the hip attachments. There he worked some of the typical banderillas that are used for the bullfight. The colors are as well the typical spanish with red and black. The clothing layers carry a very filigree ornamented texture, what again shows Tatanka’s skills for making textures. The huge fan in the back with the red tentacles as well let you think on the typical spanish fans that we all know. The “Valentia del Toro” is now available at the Mea Culpa Mainstore together with the evening gown of Miss Spain 2012. The jewelry again comes from Finesmith. Shena decided to go with the popular “Noir” set using the earrings and the bracelet. I added the collar and the ring as well. For the “Noir” set you have this great menu, yula includes in many of her jewelry, that let you change color and size for each part of the set. The “Noir” set you will find at the Finesmith Mainstore 😉

As I said in one of my last posts, PurpleMoon did not have only one gown that made the Top 12 of this year Miss Virtual World Challenge. In complete 4 of Poulet Koenkamp’s gowns made it into the Top 12 this year and the evening gown of Miss Germany 2012 is number 3 on my blog for now… be sure number 4 will follow as well 😉 For me it is a very special gown as Falbala Fairey, who carries the title of Miss Germany 2012 is a very special person to me, she is my little sister and I am feeling very honored to showcase the gown of PurpleMoon that was made for her, as well the awesome jewelry yula Finesmith did for her. For gown and jewelry you can see how close designers are working together to create the MVW dresses. Poulet did this amazing gown, covering the colors of the german flag, which are black, red and gold, in an amazing way. The tight gown accents the well-shaped body perfectly and the extraordinary prims give some awesome highlights. again we can see Poulet’s love for th detail on the “Falbala” gown. The huge shoulder prim on the right shoulder is made with the red outside and a gold inside, as well the upper parts of the gloves have this awesome little feature. Half of the chest part glitters in gold and the other is covered by the delicate red satin texture. I totally love that none symmetric style. Now for the jewelry… yula Finesmith did an extraordinary job this year for all the MVW candidates that stormed her doors… if I look over all the gowns and jewelry I got, it seems she was the most busy designer for jewelry this year 😉 and that for a reason… she just is amazing, a wonderful person to work with and she is great in making dreams come true 😉 The “Falbala” set is an incredible masterpiece of art. The filigree earrings, the delicate necklace that goes down in the back and decorates the deep back neckline of the “Falbala” gown… simply amazing. Then the little orchid shaped flowers at the hips that carry those long and thin lines that go to the upper right and the repeat of this orchid shape for the bracelet… it just caught my heart totally! The “Falbala”gown you will find at the PurpleMoon Mainstore in different colors as well as far as I know Poulet, and the “Falbala” jewelry set you will find at the MVW room at the Finesmith Mainstore.

Mea Culpa did a fantastic job on the Evening gown for Miss Shena Neox, Miss Spain 2012. Black and red are the typical colors we think of, if it comes to Spain. So even for the evening gown Tatanka Kaligawa kept this colors. The basic red color of the dress is broken wonderful by the black fans and applications. The black ornaments are made with such a great eye for the details, where you again can see the incredible skills of Tatanka Kaligawa. All those different shades of red and even a mixture of different red textures make this gown a piece of art. The jewelry is very filigree and delicate for the earings and necklace, but also the 2 amazing fans for head and hand are part of this amazing set. The fans underline the theme of the dress perfectly. “Hermosa Espina” you can purchase in 2 different colors at the Finesmith Mainstore. Shena Neox made it to the 2nd runner-up in the MVW 2012 contest with the “Devine Decision” gown from Mea Culpa and the “Hermosa Espina” jewelry set from Finesmith.

One of the latest awesome releases at Finesmith were 4 new amazing lashes styles!!! We all know the black cool lashes yula Finsmith did for the “Noir” collection. Now she followed that great way of designing lashes with 4 more styles.
This incredible new Finesmith lashes are really a must have for everybody that likes an extravagant styling. Totally in black they always have a wonderful diamond part where they start from.
To make this awesome styling complete I added one of my long time favourites of Finesmith – the “Victorian Secret” set. This awesome set was one of the first sets that took my attention to yula Finesmith’s creations, as it was the first set where the jewelry was just ‘pinned’ on the body, like the necklace that goes right into the chest ;). The whole set is menu driven and you can change metals, colors and gems to make it match anyways what you wanna wear it to.
The awesome lace part, that goes up from the neck over the lips is one part of the “Lucia” lingerie from Glam Affair and as well a piece that I really like for a long time as well 🙂 So what could fit better to this styling then the “Diva Poses” made by GM Nikolaidis, owner and designer of Fluke. I really love the poses as they are somewhat fresh and modern and dare to be different and out of the box, for me the “Diva Poses” have a wonderful dramatic touch as well 🙂
