Walk in the Park
The hand that you sometimes hold doesn’t do anything
The face that you see in the door isn’t standing there anymore
In and out of my life, you would slip from my mind
In a matter of time
Finally I can post again!
After having my website hacked for nearly a month, we were able to solve the problem. I never would have thought, that the jetpack plugin from wordpress would be an open entrance for bot and hacker attacks… Everytime when I thought we fixed it, I wanted to log in the next day and same cryptic dashoard grinned at me and my own website was telling me I would want to cheat, when I tried to post something as I would not have the permissions to do so.
Lesson learned, jetpack plugin deleted!
Thank you to all of you, who hadΒ patience with me for not being able to post something.
So I am actually a little behind on things, that I wanted to post over all that time and I would like to start the wrap up with one of the styles I made during the Dark Style Fair. I just re-did the pictures and added some newer things to it to make it some more ‘festive’ loooking for the upcoming season π
I am not too much of a Christmas fan in general… I do like snow, I like red and black, but all the Jingle Bells music and always when I hear the “All I want for Christmas is You” yelping on the radio I just wanna throw up :p
I have my own Christmas feelings and likings and so I wanted to make a look with some twist on it for my own personal mix of dark style and Christmas :p
I used a lot of different parts to mix and match my todays look. The jacket I found at COCO, the top is from Scandalize, the corset with the cool warp around and ribbon I found at Paperdoll’s, while the pants are a part of the amazing “Y6” collection from [sYs].
I do love mix and match a lot, even if it became significantly harder, since mesh is on the grid as layering different designers can be a real hard challenge if the clothing is not meant to go with each other.
The “Leisha” choker from Salt & Pepper ran right in to my heart when I saw it :p I love the look of the 2 skeleton hands, that wrap their bony fingers around your neck π While I went through my headpiece & hats folder I came across the “Dia De Los Muertos Hat” from .AiShA. with the same cool grabby bone fingers holding the top of the hat!
If I would wash off the blood from my top and take off the eye patch, I really could see me going out on a christmas party *snickers*
What I really had to do for this post, is a close up for the shoes… I LOVE the eye for details, that UTOPIA puts on their designs. You can see every seam, every fold and the typical used spots that you get with leather shoes usually. I just could sit and stare at the shoes for hours and discover all their love to the realistic scale and details. Since the other pics did not show even a hint of the shoes I thought they deserve a close view π
I hope you had fun with my first ‘catch up post’, there will be more over the next days π

We really got some freeze days over here in Germany the past few days and a lot of snow!
That kinda was one of the reasons, why I wanted to do a cold, winter look in a snowy environment :p
The amazing “Morisette” dress from [sys] was in the actual BishBox, which you can get just one more day before the new one will get released. The theme was ‘Wild Winter’. The BishBox is a monthly subscription box for the urban, crazy and wild girls of SecondLife. Every month 15 designers contribute for an amazing collection of wonderful items. All you need to do is just subscribe or preorder your box. No more window shopping, just unpacking a box of cool goodies π
The mega cool necklace, comes from EMO-tions. I am totally in love with the “Hawk” necklace. It is a huge frame with an amazing non symmetric look, perfect for a casual style.
Because of the winter season I at least wanted to add a jacket, but not cover up the whole dress. So I chose one of the awesome “Jacket over Shoulders” from COCO.
For the shoes I wanted something flat, to get a more casual, cool look, but as well it should match the winter themed idea. In the end I chose some simple docs with two different high socks, which I found on Marketplace from Ducknipple. They have a huge color HUD for the shoes and the socks and the higher one just touched the bottom seam of the dress – perfect – as they would have been made for it.
The hair should be something loosely, smart looking and so I went with one of my favourite hair brands. KoKoLoReS always has some more extraordinary looking hairstyles, which look to me very modern and fashion forward with their wisps and wild looking strands.
I really do love my new bento head from LeLutka. The rigging is amazing and the animations do look so smooth, nice and realistic. I was not a LeLutka addicted before the bento heads but after testing most of the popular bento heads for over one week, I came to the conclusion that LeLutka definitely has the best one for me. It does support shaping in an awesome way even if you put your sliders to extreme sizes without breaking or destroying the mesh or make it look awkward. The price is as well fantastic for what you get. 5K for the full head with animations already in it and they even upgraded to an Omega support now. You can use all the amazing Omega appliers and they fit perfectly.
Since I was not using LeLutka heads before I had to upgrade my makeups a little and went to the great sale of La Boheme. There I found various, super cool eyeshadow and lipsticks. The “Stella” eyeshadow I am using for today’s post was one of them.
The location, is an amazing sim I found while I had one of my exploring days. It is called Neverfar. It is made with so much love to the detail and so many different corners that invite to spend a lot more time to explore than just for a few pics. I met the owner there when I was walking around and she was super nice and kind. It really was a wonderful experience and as well a very productive time π

Sometimes I fall into my Rockabilly mood and then I love the boyish jeans & tank top look. A few days ago it was time again, to try my inventory for exactly that look :p.
I wanted to use some of my older stuff and show, that this can be still cool even if it is not all brand new π
The shirt is one of my first Maitreya shirts and I never found a better tank top for such purposes. The jeans are one of my long time favourites from LeeZu and the shirt that’s wrapped around my waist is that old that Coco now has it as a discounted item*giggles*. The only thing what is really new are the shoes, and that is just because I so fell in love with them.
The new look inspired me to make a new pose set called “Swag Casual”
The need of swag looking poses and as well the desire of some poses that look cool and with a light imagination of movement.
You can try them inworld at my Mainstore (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/New/240/183/22)

Yesterday I visited Azlyn Vaher, owner and designer of Yasum,Β as she wanted to gimme a sneak peek on her new store and as we were walking through I got stuck on this great pants…
…back home I sat on my new Fluke “Pose Chair” and thought about a styling for the great “Punk Pants”
I remembered the cute “Simple Cozy Sweater” from Kyoot, that I bought on one of my last shopping tours and it just looked right for the look I had in mind. The “Armada Boots” from Kookie with the cute socks as well matched the look. The whole look remembered me of being at the university way in the past so I had to add this sweet *Leather Messenger Bag” from HOC to make the illusion complete :p.

(Shoes: Stiletto Moody – “Zaha” /taupe, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)
We all waited for and now they are out! 3 new styles of Stiletto Moody shoes! An amazing new detail comes with… a HUD where you can color the bare foot. If you use the new Stiletto Moody skins you will find ready made presets to use for every skintone. For sure you can match any other skin tone as well π The usual features like nails and toe rings in different styles as well as the hardware color change to silver gold or sometimes graphit are menu driven as always. But lets take a closer look at the new “Zaha” shoes.
(Shoes: Stiletto Moody – “Zaha”, Model & Phorographer: Wicca Merlin)
Also you can change the color of the shoes with the known menu in the shoes as always π To give an overview, I tried to show all the amazing colors you get if you buy the fat pack. For sure you can as well buy the shoes in each color single if you are able to make a choice between all this amazing colors π The sole of the “Zaha” always stays wooden and the hell as well as the sole remain white with every color. The shoe itself looks like made of a fantastic fabric with a big ribbon on the outside of the ankle.
The second new pair of Stiletto Moody is called “Kahlo”
(Shoes: Stiletto Moody – “Kahlo” /red, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)
In opposite to the “Zaha” the “Kahlo” style is very filigree made. All this little lines that hold your feet in place…simply amazing. As well as the other new releases the “Kahlo” heels come with the same great HUD to match your feet perfectly to your skintone. The usual features like nail color, toe rings in different styles, the hardware colorchange and the change for the main shoe color are available over the menu in the shoes as we already know it from Stiletto Moody.
(Shoes Stiletto Moody – “Kahlo”, Model & Photohgrapher: Wicca Merlin)
The fatpack contains all the amazing colors you can see up here but as usually you also can buy them single. As you can see the sole and the heel change color with the shoe itself. The awesome combination of light and shadow the great texture has again underlines the high quality Stiletto Moody offers!
Last but not least the “Kim” style. This style we already saw as a preview on the summers releases and I was so waiting for this one as it is looks very special π
(Shoes: Stiletto Moody – “Kim” /black, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)
“Kim” is an awesome every day style that also can make the highlight in a more classy outfit. The crossing straps make a wonderful look on your feet and let it look very elegant. For this style my personal highlight is the heel. You have no stiletto heel as for most of the high heels… the heel is connected all the way down with the rest of the shoe and looks more solid though.
(Shoes: Stiletto Moody – “Kim”, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)
The heel stays in a wooden color anyways wich shoe color you choose. The fatpack contains a lot of amazing colors as you can see on the upper picture. It has the same great featuresΒ as the other 2 new releases and for me they areΒ perfect jeans heels, even if you can wear them to nearly every outfit for sure π
I hope you enjoy this new Stiletto Moody heels as much as I do and I could show you as much as possible on the pictures π If you wanna see them “real” just make your way to the Stiletto Moody Mainstore and take a look by yourself and get you your pair π

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 π
I have to thank Harsch Sharktooth and Redclaw Inshan to follow me on my trip and pose with me for a few pics π
(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 π
(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 π 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… π 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 π 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 π
(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 π
(Models: Redclaw Inshan, Wicca Merlin, Photographer: Wicca Merlin)
Futuristic GREEN! π 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 π 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 π Pants, shirt, boots, wristbands, jacket and beltΒ are part of the “Cyber Biohazard” outfit of R:A:D and you can find it in his Mainstore π The mask is the same I was wearing π and for the shades he chose one of his favourites, the “Halo” made by Eryn Republic, designer of ERD π I never saw such amazing detailed glasses before and I have to admit I bought me some glasses from there as well π
(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 π 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 π
I hope you enjoyed my futuristic cyber trip and maybe I could show you my version of future fashion π A special thanks goes to Harsch Sharktooth & Redclaw Inshan, who had the patience and invested the time to style and pose for me π
stay styled,
Wicca
