Wicca’s Wardrobe – Future Fashion…

by

(Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

Lately I had a strange mood and was totally been drowned into futuristic and cyberpunk looks… For a strange reason it catched me more and more and I decided to let you be part of my journey into that 😉

I have to thank Harsch Sharktooth and Redclaw Inshan to follow me on my trip and pose with me for a few pics 😉

(Models: Redclaw Inshan, Wicca Merlin, Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

First look ..lemme call it “Futuristic Red”… has a big part of cyberpunk also, but lets take a closer look at the 2 outfits 🙂

(Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

The basic of my first outfit was is the “X – Suit” from Graves Leather. It shows off a lot of skin and was a nice possibility to also wear some big tattoos 😉 For the boots I chose the “Cyberboots” from R:A:D. They are fully color changeable for all the parts that are shown here in red. Also you can decide from different signs that decorate the boot tips. The bracelets and the mask are made by Nibiru Productions and are color changeable too. Te spine plugs are made by Toxic Orange and are color changeable with menu driven script as well. The hair I found at the Stringer Mausoleum and is called “Rooster Hawk”

(Model: Redclaw Inshan, Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

The male outfit is showcased by Redclaw Inshan, designer of R:A:D and he chose the same mask called “Optical Argument” as I did… actually it was the other way round…he had it first but oh well… 😉 The pants are the great “Male Distressed Leather Pants” by with a wonderful prim belt that has an amazing realistic look. The boots are made by Bobbysocks and are called “Anarchy”. The cool black “Devious Trench” is made by by Spider Productionscoat and you can wear it with or without the spikes that you can see on the shoulderparts.

(Model: Redclaw Inshan, Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

For the perfect cyberpunk look the “Cyber Heart” made by Mennisco Volitan for sure should not be missed. The spine implants are the same as I was wearing and yes this time I had them first… I guess 😉 The mechanical “Cyber Droids Hand” comes from [:: Black Heart ::].

(Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

For the second look Harsch Sharktooth helped me for the pictures and chose a wonderful futuristic looking outfit…

(Models: Harsch Sharktooth, Wicca Merlin, Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

The main color oft this 2 looks definitely is the silver & teal mix & match. Both of us were using cyberskins from LionSkins made by Lion Jonesford.

(Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

Again the suit is the “X – Suit” from Graves Leather made by Jackie Graves. This time i chose the “Tech” spine implant from Toxic Orange and colored it in teal to match the great Griddie hair. Th guns are from Breach and the “Climatix” mask is done by AVZ. For he mask you can choose if you wanna show breath particles and also the color of a few parts. The bracelets are the same as I used for my first outfit but this time also colored in teal. The boots are the fantastic “Dragon Boots” made by R:A:D. Those boots you can change in 5 basic preset colors and chains and spikes you can change to every color you can thing of as the HUD has an amazing color field to play with 😉

(Model & Photographer: Harsch Sharktooth)

Harsch is wearing the Elixier “Latex Hipsters” pants in camo black combined with the Elixier “Latex Sheer Raincoat-Clear”. For the neck collar part he took a part from the Miamai “Lulu” outfit. “Lulu” is part of the Black Label Collection of Miamai. Also from Miamai is the attachment he chose for the right arm. The armwarmer is part of the “Kingdom M Grey shirt”. For the boots he chose the “Homme_EngineerBoots” from COCO in black. The hair he found at the Stinger Mausoleum. Last but not least the gloves… they are from Xplosion and named “Skull Gloves”. Did you ever see such a cute android before 😉

(Models: Redclaw Inshan, Wicca Merlin, Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

Futuristic GREEN! 😉 It was just too tempting to do a full green in green on green pic*giggles*…

(Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

This time I combined the “Tribal Latex Suit” from Creepy Latex with the “JG2 Body” in the short version again from Graves Leather. The boots are again the “Cyber Boots” from R:A:D. The mask for this outfit comes from AVZ and the Visor is part of the Graves “G121 Black & White- Zero” outfit from Graves Leather. The color changing spine tubes are made by Toxic Orange. The “Cyber Hawk” hair style in a poison green, I found at DV8 🙂 and for the earrings I chose of my favourite ones made by Ticky Tacky.

(Model: Redclaw Inshan, Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

Redclaw Inshan chose for the main part one of the outfits he made by himself 😉 Pants, shirt, boots, wristbands, jacket and belt  are part of the “Cyber Biohazard” outfit of R:A:D and you can find it in his Mainstore 🙂 The mask is the same I was wearing 😉 and for the shades he chose one of his favourites, the “Halo” made by Eryn Republic, designer of ERD 🙂 I never saw such amazing detailed glasses before and I have to admit I bought me some glasses from there as well 😉

(Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

My glasses from Eryn Republic Designs are called “Streemlyne” and I was really impressed about the service and help I found with the fitting of my glasses. The outfit I am wearing on this picture is a very old one I found during cleaning my inventory and it reminded me lightly of kinds ‘Matrix’ or ‘Trinity’ outfit 😉 It is from Gothika and I am not sure if it still available or already gone, maybe you have to take a look by yourself if you are interested in 😉

I hope you enjoyed my futuristic cyber trip and maybe I could show you my version of future fashion 😉 A special thanks goes to Harsch Sharktooth & Redclaw Inshan, who had the patience and invested the time to style and pose for me 😉

stay styled,

Wicca

New Releases and a unbelievable Christmas Special at Mea Culpa!!!

by

Yes it is true, Tatanka Kaligawa, designer of Mea Culpa, again created 4 new designs for Mea Culpa. 2 of them I want to show you today. The other 2 left I will for sure blog here also so keep tuned!

The first one I wanna showcase today is the “Bionic Symbiosis” which we can see also in the first picture above 🙂

“Bionic Symbiosis” is a wonderful gown that again shows the incredible skills and ideas of Tatanka Kaligawa if it comes to new ideas of fashion and couture. The dress it self has a very tight dress and skirt beginning that ends in a firework of huge flexible prims the more it goes down to the ground. The color is made in a wide scale of green and black. The layers are not made of a simple plain texture, it is a wonderful combination of different ornaments and colors that make this gown to something special, to a piece of art we know the designs of Mea Culpa for. The wrist sleeves are also decorated with 2 huge wrist prims that repeat the main theme of the dress in a very interesting way. All the attached prims are kinds wavy and for sure the huge and extraordinary hat add another ‘wow’ effect to the whole design.

The second new release is called “Wind of Change” and it really brings in some fresh wind onto the fashion industry 😉

‘This gown is made for a real ladie’s body… very elegant but also extravagant! The awesome combination of pink and black will let every fashionistas heart beat higher 😉


Let’s take a closer look on all that wonderful details… the basic skirt layer is an opaque tight pencil skirt that goes down to the ground. Spikes decorate the creation on the right hand side leg and add a lightly dangerous and goth style. The top under the jacket has a light transparent around the basic laced texture. The jacket reminds me on an old english uniform jacket even if it is made like a modern bolero jacket 😉 A huge, pink neck collar the puffy arm sleeves and the wonderful hat set this design also for a perfect winter outfit! at th belly button you have a nother detailed prim attachment with a huge purple ge in its center. If you take a look from the side or back you will realize how big that flexible black parts in your back are! The hat has a fur seam and the spikes are repeated from a few tentacle looking long and flexible parts that are longer on the right side then on the left of the hat..again a nice non symmetric detail… 😉

If you look at the texture of the jacket you can see that the Mea Culpa designs are really more than just clothing that every single part is made with love to the detail. All filigree black ornaments the shading of colors, the lights and shadows… simply amazing!

As I said that are only 2 of the newest designs of Tatanka Kaligawa…so stay tuned the other 2 I will review soon 😉 If you cannot wait you can also peek at the Mea Culpa Mainstore!

Now for something special… Mea Culpa decided to have a Christmas Special! Every Wednesday there will be 2 gowns set down to 50%!!! Yes you heard right… half prize! Also one pairs of shoes will be 50%. All 2 items are available 7 days before they change again on the next Wednesday till christmas.

Show Review of Angel Dessous and PurpleMoon

by

Last Sunday I was walking a show for Envision that featured designs of Angel Dessous, PurpleMoon and hair from Tukinowaguma. I really enjoyed my outfits and just wanted to show them 😉

My first outfit was from Angel Dessous and is called “Lian” here shown in the color ‘nightflower’. This great asian design leads to dreams with all its wonderful details and accessories…

The basic blue toned texture is full of wonderful little ornaments in blue and green tones. The gown looks parted in 2 parts one lower skirt and one upper that starts with that great prim attachment in the front, wich is lightly unsymmetrical to the right hand side. Another great attachment we find can see on the chest. Sweet little light ruffled parts make the seam of the top and only one neat line over the right shoulder connects the font and back of the dress. For sure the huge and great head part is one of the highlights for this dress and underlines the asian character perfectly. For the jewelry I chose the incredible “Victorian Secret” earrings from Finesmith. For the skin I used one of the new Glam affair ones out of the “Castalia” line in the natural tone. The lips are a different layer that blackliquid gave me once and this lips matched the outfit  perfectly. The hair comes from Tukinowaguma and is called “Princess” in ebony.

The second outfit I was allowed to showcase came from PurpleMoon and is called “Queen of Hearts”. The name is program for this neat dress ;).  A short and very sexy dress. Poulet Koenkamp again shows us her amazing creativity if it comes to designing. The main color of this dress for sure has to be red 😉 and it is not just a simple plain texture… way not…it is a firework of red tones and glitter and glimmering shades! The top is made like a corset with bare shoulders that let the possibility for great jewelry like the “In the Flash – Shpitz” from Finesmith.

The great “Disturbia Collection” veil and the “Sweet Cocktail” bracelets I am wearing also are from Finesmith 🙂 Thanks to Yula who has those amazing ideas for extravagant jewelry!!! A total ‘head turner’ is the big, huge head-piece that also carries little, neat hearts to underline the theme of the dress and to repeat the floating hearts that surround the little, short balloon skirt.

5 big roses decorate the higher forehead and make also an amazing detail of the whole outfit! The “Metallic Silver Nails” are made by PurpleMoon as well as the “Kis” hair style that matches wonderful to the whole outfit 🙂

My 3rd and last outfit for that show was also from PurpleMoon and it was one of the amazing bridal gowns – “Nefertiti”

This wonderful white piece of art is another masterpiece of Poulet Koenkamp, designer of PurpleMoon.  A wonderful, dreamy flexible veil goes down in the back nearly to the hips. The top is decorated with amazing detailed ruffles at the chest. The dress it self starts very tight and shows off the perfect shaped body of the bride 😉  The more it goes to the ground the wider it becomes and a nother train that follows your steps over the ground smoothly.

The “Metallic Silver Nails” and the “Era” hairstyle here in platinum are also from PurpleMoon. Earrings and bracelets are again from Finesmith. The skin also is from the Glam Affair “Castalia” line

I hope you enjoyed my show review 😉 If you wanna see more of the great designs made byAngel Dessous,  PurpleMoon, Finesmith or Tukinowaguma, just take the next free limo to their mainstores.

Shiki – Winter Collection 2010 – Black & White

by

I had the great honor and pleasure to be model and photographer of the actual Shiki Winter Collection 2010. The amazing Bety Dudek was my fellow model 🙂 we had great fun to shoot all the pics for vendors and adds and I would like to say a big big thank you to Shinichi Mathy, designer and owner of Shiki Designs 🙂

For today I would like to showcase the dresses I was allowed to model for this collection. The first one is called “Velvet” and it is a sweet short dress. The basic black color is lovely broken by a sweet white, filigree ornament the starts at the belly and goes up to the right side of the chest in a non symmetric way. The top is line less, means bare shoulders that allow a cool necklace or collar that wants to have attention 😉 The skirt starts with a sweet ruffle part on top, the basic skirt is relatively tight and ends in a sexy way above the knees 😉

“Winter Garden” is also a neat and short dress. The eye catcher on this one for me are the sweet black roses that make the skirt and collar. They are beautiful detailed and very detailed and filigree made. The basic layer texture of the top also is not just a boring plain one..it has a very nice and great shaded fabric.

One of my favourites is the “B & W” dress… on the first look a simple half black half white dress but the big, huge, fluffy neck collar makes it to a very elegant outfit. The black and white half are not only plain, if you take a closer look you can see all the great placed shadows and lights that give the whole outfit a very realistic look.

The next one is a sweet skirt outfit perfect for every girl who likes the modern black and white fashion in a traditional way 😉 Basically it has a light touch of an english schoolgirls outfit but with all its details, the ” Harajuku Plaid” is a perfect winter casual outfit for every day! The top in black with an awesome texture, the skirt in a typical squared fabric and for me a highlight also the big belt with the great silver buckle!

“Rhapsody in Black” is a very elegant and long gown. The skirt starts tight and opens the more it reaches the ground. The top has a very sexy and interesting hole at the chest what also adds a very stunning touch. As another eye catcher, Shinichi added the big ribbon on the upper chest what highlights the hole even more 😉 The long sleeves of the top underlie the very sophisticated look of this wonderful gown.

“Rooooaaaaar” wild, wild, wild and sexy 😉 The “Urban Animal” is the right dress for all the brave and not only good girls… show the animal inside you;) A short, tight and sexy dress that showcases your well-shaped body perfectly. To the long sleeves Shinichi made 2 awesome shoulder parts with sculpted prims that add an elegant and realistic touch. A black belt braked the animal print perfectly and let the top and the skirt shine in a bright light :). With that dress you will definitely turn heads while you walking down the street.. day and night 😉

My last design for today is the “Glamour” gown, where the name is program. Again a very elegant and long gown with a black basic and wonderful white ornaments on it. The black belt makes a nice decoration round the waist with the detailed buckles and stripes and the neat neck collar again adds a very elegant touch and frames the cleavage perfectly. Handless sleeves that keep the shoulders bare give the whole sophisticated look a light sexy touch 😉

If you wanna see all the new designs of the winter collection and even the many new male outfits just make your way to the Shiki Mainstore and take a look 😉

Elaera Maven, genius designer of Maven Haus created a side label for his Prêt-à-Porter clothing – Maven Strasse!!!

Maven Strasse will be the name for the more ‘casual’ clothing of Elaera Maven. But it would not be Elaera if this just would be another usually casual wear… way not. He creates very fashionable and chic designs for the modern fashionistas everyday life. For example the great “Bulwark” sweater. I was very happy as he IMed me asking me, if I would pose for this amazing sweater! The “Bulwark” is a great start in a new casual era where you do not have to miss a very modern and fresh style that still is in a high fashion way.

The basic of this great top is a t-shirt layer that is combined with 4 amazing sculpted prims. The huge neck collar, 2 wrist cuffs and the amazing bottom that falls down your upper body like a neat bell, tight at the beginning and very wide and comfy at the bottom. With a very good eye for the detail the wool textures where fitted on the prims. Every part is connected perfect without a texture break to each other! The huge collar is made of 2 parts linked together, an inner one a bit higher and an outer one.

The wonderful “Bulwark” sweater is available in 8 fantastic colors – white, yellow, fuchsia, navy, green, gray, red and teal. It seems with this sweater a great start is made for a very interesting new part of the creations of Elaera Maven!

Playfully fashion news by Angel Dessous :)

by

“Juliette” is one of the latest releases of Angel Dessous. It is a wonderful and stylish dress with a very neat and playfully touch 😉

It comes in many different colors and for this post I chose the pink and lime version. The whole dress really shows off a very sweet way of fashion with the huge ruffles and the laced parts. What for sure underlines that is the lovely polkadots texture that goes all over that dress.

A totally eyecatcher are the great big flower and the beautiful hat that repeats the texture and theme of the dress carrying a few filigree and flexible black feathers. Overall it gets a light french touch if we think on the beautiful can can era, with the part of the skirt in the front. The huge ruffles in the back and the amazing primskirt are made if sculpted prims what gives it a wonderful realistic look.  Also the neat tight highs are part of the outfit. The black lace is decorated also with tiny sweet and opaque black dots. Again Nando Korbase created a wonderful sweet little piece of art that you can find in 3 more colors at the Angel Dessous Mainstore.
