Wicca’s Wardrobe: The Steampunk Crow

WiccaMerlin_Fashion01_HauteMagazine_November2012_06

“People once believed that when someone dies, a Crow carries their soul to the land of the dead, but sometimes something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can’t rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the Crow can bring the soul back and put the wrong things right .”

(Sahra – The Crow 1994)

I know that crows are usually black, but as iIwas styling, I wanted to do someting in a brown/nude tone for the HAUTE Magazine (http://hautesl.com/latest-issue/)

The quote out of the movie “The Crow” still was in my mind all the time when I was styling.  I like dark fantasy novels and movies and so many of my stylings have some of those in the back, even if I do not always name them or tell about it.

For this styling I started with the “XXX” dress from LWL. I had it for a longer time but never something came to my mind what I could do with it. With the theme of the minimal colors for the HAUTE Magazine the brown tone matched amazing and I paired the crow theme with some steampunk elements like the boots from Grim Bros and the helmet from Diram. The amazing wings were a gift from Reclaw Inshan, former designer of R.A.D. Together with the leggings from LeeZu and the jewelry from Chop Zuey, the fantasy idea came to live.

Wicca’s Wardrobe: Scary Story

A pretty woman was serving a life sentence in prison for murder. Angry and resentful about her situation, she decided that she couldn’t spend her life in prison. She began plotting ways to escape from the jail.

She became good friends with one of the prison caretakers. His job was to bury any prisoners who died, in a graveyard just outside the prison walls. Whenever a prisoner died, the caretaker rang a bell, which was heard by all of the prison inmates. The caretaker then got the body and put it in a casket. Next, he entered his office to fill out the death certificate before returning to the casket to nail the lid shut. Finally, he put the casket on a wagon to take it to the graveyard and bury it.

Knowing this routine, the woman devised an escape plan and shared it with the caretaker. The next time the bell rang, the woman would leave her cell and sneak into the dark room where the coffins were kept.

She would slip into the coffin with the dead body while the caretaker was filling out the death certificate. When the caretaker returned, he would nail the lid shut and take the coffin outside the prison with the woman in the coffin along with the dead body. He would then bury the coffin.

The woman knew there would be enough air for her to breathe until later in the evening when the caretaker would return to the graveyard under cover of darkness, dig up the coffin, and set her free.

The caretaker was reluctant to go along with this plan, but since he and the woman had become good friends over the years, he agreed to do it. The woman waited several weeks for one of the other prison inmates to die.

One night, she was asleep in her cell when she heard the death bell ringing. She got up, picked the lock of her cell, and slowly walked down the hallway. She was nearly caught a couple of times. Her heart was beating fast.

She opened the door to the darkened room where the coffins were kept. Quietly in the dark, she found the coffin that contained the dead body, carefully climbed into it and pulled the lid shut to wait for the caretaker to come and nail the lid down.

Soon she heard footsteps and the pounding of the hammer and nails. Even though she was very uncomfortable in the coffin with the dead body beneath her, she knew that with each nail she was one step closer to freedom.

The coffin was lifted onto the wagon and taken outside to the graveyard. She could feel the coffin being lowered into the ground. She didn’t make a sound as the coffin hit the bottom of the grave with a thud.

Finally she heard the dirt dropping onto the top of the wooden coffin, and she knew that it was only a matter of time until she would be free at last. After several minutes of absolute silence, she began to chuckle quietly to herself.

Feeling curious, she decided to light a match to find out the identity of the dead prisoner beside her. To her horror, she discovered that she was lying on top of the dead caretaker.

Blackliquid for Back to Black

Blackliquid Tokyoska, owner and creator of Blackliquid, takes part in the Back to Black event, organized by CHIC Management. Keira Seerose again runs an awareness event , in wich the participation is free and everything is paid by Keira Seerose. New and exclusive items will be designed to form a collection inspired by words of hope and courage.

Blackliquid created some awesome items and I’m happy that I can show you a few of them. For this post, the hat, the shoes and the awesome heart-shaped lipstick are made by Blackliquid. Her items are all made with wonderful hearts in all shades of red and pink.

The “Heartist” boots are a definitely must have for the upcoming Valentine’s day anyways 🙂 The boots have a basic pink color. The plateau heels are held in a matching shade of red and the hearts decorate the boots in the front and one little heart is attached to the backside. The color of the soles Blackliquid catched again with the upper end of the “Heartist” boots.

The cute “Heartist” hat matches perfectly to the “Heartist” boots. The same heart stacks you can find in the front of the boots is repeated for the hat as well and the colors are go for sure together as well.

To complete the look of hearts Blackliquid made different colors of a heart-shaped lipstick. For my post I was using the “Black Cherry Loveheart Gloss”. This great lipstick layer you can have in 4 more colors as well from Blackliquid. Just make your way to the Back to Black event sim and take a look at the store of Blackliquid between the 11th and 29th of February.

If you purchase the fatpack you will have 12 different makeups in all 4 versions! I really fell in love with this fresh and innovative makups and the skin itself.
