The Proud Butterfly

Evil Butterfly Half

Once, a beautiful, shiny and colourful butterfly was flitting from one flower to another. She saw a baby elephant coming down the path. She flew to him and sat on his ear. The elephant asked, “Who are you? Where are you going?”

The butterfly proudly replied, “I am the most beautiful of all the butterflies. You are ugly and fat. Your body is heavy while I am delicate and light. People are jealous of my colourful wings. I can fly anywhere with these wings.”

The elephant calmly said, “I am glad to meet you.”

The butterfly went on, “There is no comparison between us. You have four legs but I have six. You have a trunk and I have something like that too but I use it to suck nectar from the flowers. You cannot do that.” Just then a strong wind blew and the butterfly could not keep her balance. She cried for help as she was flown away in the wind. But the elephant stood firmly on ground and thought, “I can see how pride has a fall.”

Casual Evening Fun ;)

Mow - Wicca & Lovely Full

Not too long ago, my sweet little brother Dahriel sent me to a nice little shop called ‘M.o.w.‘, telling me I would find some super cool casual clothing there. I made my way over and I have to admit he was right. While I was roaming through the store, I had a nice talk with the owner and designer medusa Back. She seems to be a real nice and kind lady and we came across blogging. I got some amazing creations and after sometime I returned home and unpacked all the awesome goodies. While I was styling, Lovely Imed me and asked if she can visit me for some talking. I never can say no to her, she is simply too cute and so I TPed her over and she immediately discovered me styling me new M.o.w. clothing. She remembered that she has the same jacket as I was wearing and put it on. While we kept continue talking I combined the “Open Sweater” with the “Action Capris” as well from M.o.w. As I saw her in the “”Open Sweater” from M.o.w. I had to grab her and drag her in front of my camera with me ๐Ÿ˜‰ย The result of a wonderful and fun evening you can see in the pics ๐Ÿ˜‰ If you wanna know the details of Lovely‘s styling you can see her blog (http://eclecticmiwa.wordpress.com/) or you just storm her IM asking her ๐Ÿ˜‰

If you wanna see more of the amazing designs of M.o.w. you better take a look by yourself at the M.o.w. Mainstore ๐Ÿ™‚

PosESioN - Aliza Set Full

Yesterday I got amazing news from ][PULL][. Melissa46, owner and designer of ][PULL][, made a wonderful limited collection for February and the “Limited Herm Bodysuit” jumped into my eye in the moment I saw the picture of it. I put it on and I fell in love with it. It is not a total crazy outfit but the simplicity and the wonderful lace attachments just caught my heart.

I wanted to create a nice and simple but not boring look for the “Limited Herm Bodysuit” and I just added the “Bubble Glam Tights” from LeeZu. The “Karya” boots from Miamai came to my mind and I liked the way of the simple straps on the plain black boots.

While I was thinking about hair, I remembered a cool and smart-looking short hairstyle from EMO-tions‘ latest releases called “Anna 2”. The black and white theme really started to become fun and while i was looking for a head-piece the “Oda” headpiece from PurpleMoon fell into my hands again.

To complete my black & white look I added the “Westwood Contrast BW” makeup from LovelyMi , combines with 2 different lipsticks of Silken Moon that, I just put over each other and the wonderful “Superior” lashes from Redgrave. The “Aliza” earrings from SoliDea FoliEs in black and white made the perfect finish for this look.

PosESioN - Aliza Set

For the poses I wanted to use something that goes with the simple style but not just casual poses. I remembered a set of PosESioN, that I got a while ago. After trying all of them I could not really decide wich ones I liked the most, so I just snapped all and thought on a little picture with all of them so you can see wich great poses are in the “Aliza” set from PosESioN ๐Ÿ˜‰

Wicca’s Wardrobe: LOTD 02/05/2013 – Window Shopping!

Baboom Balloons Full

Yesterday I was not in the best mood so I decided to take a “day off” and just went some window shopping.

First I wanted to see the new store of Kyra Camel, owner and designer of Baboom. So I made my way to her new Mainstore. It was closed to the public still, so I had a dreamy time looking through all her stuff without lag and too many people there :p. I already have nearly the whole store, but as I was looking through the 2 floors of amazing designs this wonderful mesh tunic with the matching leggings caught my attention. I never saw them before. The “Legere” outfit you can find in different colors and as I was debating on wich color I should get, I saw it only was 99L$!!! No question, I had to take all of them*giggles*

After that, I went to the Couturier’s Docks to see what news I can find there. And I totally was caught by the “Miss Heart Black” hat from BaObA. This amazing combination of roses, hearts and some petals just did blow me away and I had to get it.

All of a sudden one of the latest releases from [Cliche] came to my mind and I remembered that I got the “Pilar” ankle boots lately with those amazing little studs. Slowly a look was growing in my mind as I saw the wonderful “Dangerous Spikes” jewelry set from A&Ana Fashion at the TDR Fusion.

Last but not least I made my way over to the new Collabor88 sim. They had a lot of amazing stuff as well and I got quite a few things there too but what really touched me was the “Room of Balloons” from Exposeurย  & The Loft. The whole room is modify able and you can push and pull the balloons around like and change the colors to make it fitย  to your picture idea. As well it has 12 single and 5 couple poses inbuilt. On top you get a sweet little green balloon as an extra prop you can carry as well.

As I was back home at my photo studio, I tried to figure out a picture. But all that I tried was not really satisfying. Maybe because the “Room of Balloons” was made for being snapped with shadows and I still cannot do pictures with shadows again as I always crash as soon as I enable lightning and shadows in SL. As I was shortly before despairing, my sweet little brother came over and saw the “Room of Balloons” and my styling and he asked me what I was doing. I told Dahriel about my little depression and that I seem not to be able to snap a good picture for what ever reason. He liked the room with all the balloons, so he decided to help me and made the snapshots for me. After he sent them over to me, I could work on them. That really saved my day ๐Ÿ˜‰ Thank you sweet brother for helping me out ๐Ÿ˜‰

I really enjoyed my window shopping and I was not planning on making a special post about it, but after all those amazing things I found, I thought it would be worth it ๐Ÿ˜‰

Future Couture with Mea Culpa – “Chromium Impact”

Wicca & Dahriel Mea Culpa Chrome full

And again I have the great pleasure to show you one of the newest releases of Mea Culpa. Tatanka Kaligawa, owner and designer of Mea Culpa, really is busy these days and releases so many new and incredible outfits that I really have trouble to decide wich one should go first ๐Ÿ˜‰ .

Again it was my dear little brother Dahriel, that amazed me with a matching male Mea Culpa outfit to the new female “Chromium Impact” outfit. The “Chromium Impact” is a firework of incredible textured prims. The amazing chrome effect for sure is the base for the whole outfit, but all the amazing little details like the tassels at the hips, the awesome shoulder pads, the wrist parts and the huge skirt are perfect arranged to make a high couture creation. To complete my styling I added the “Marceline Horns” from Ezura and some punky hair. The extraordinary skin was made by Malicia Python, owner and designer of Silken Moon. The amazing eye decoration is directly painted on a wonderful gray scaled skin, perfect for black & white pics and for some very special and unique stylings. The cool looking earrings come from [sys] and are called “Aquarius Earrings”.

Dahriel is wearing the amazing “Venecian Millenium” outfit from Mea Culpa and for the details of his awesome and extravagant styling you can take a look at his blog ๐Ÿ˜‰ (http://dahrielfashionsl.wordpress.com/2013/01/31/news-from-mea-culpa-posesion-with-house-of-elliot-eshi-otawara/)

To get your “Chromium Impact” or maybe for a nice Valentine present for your girl you better go to the Mea Culpa Mainstore and take a look ๐Ÿ˜‰

My personal favourites of MVW2013 โ€“ Formal Gown of Iceland 2013 by Tres Beau & Chop Zuey

MVW 2013 Iceland Formal Full

Miss Virtual World 2013 โ€“ Again BoSL showcased an amazing event on December the 15th 2013, with the finale of the MVW 2013 contest. Many countries were represented by amazing ladies and it was really an exciting event. Designers and models worked together for their 2 final looks. One evening gown and one national costume for each lady. Every year when I saw the MVW finale it was an exciting moment to see the results, that designers and models worked on for so many weeks. Last year I took the challenge to make a full catalogue of all the gowns and costumes. The idea must have inspired some bloggers this year and they started to do that for the MVW 2013 designs. I decided for my own not to do the same again and just would like to showcase my personal favourites. First I thought about to do my personal top 12, but then I figured that I like more than 12 and just thought about doing all the ones that really caught my attention in no particular order

:)

The gown for Miss Virtual Iceland 2013 was made my Kimmera Madison, owner and designer of Tres Beau. I have to admit, as I was sitting there and watching the finale, this was one of those gowns that made me go “WOW”. The wonderful flowers and ruffles go so perfectly together and the color change from the bottom to the top just is made so carefully and with such an amazing feeling for the gradient. The combination of white, teal and the yellow of the flowers are awesome chosen. Again we can see that the long experience of Kimmera and her incredible skills for shapes and colors, let her made this beautiful gown.

The wonderful jewelry for “Miss Zaara123 ” gown are crafted by Belle Roussel, owner and designer of Chop Zuey. The “Eilifu” set with its amazing white pearls is the perfect addition to this stunning gown. The “Eilifu” set contains earrings, collar and bracelet.

The “Miss Zaara123” gown you can purchase at the Tres Beau Mainstore and for the “Eilifu” set you just have to stop by at the Chop Zuey Mainstore ๐Ÿ™‚
