Bird of Paradise – News at Silken Moon

Silken Moon - Simone 001

A new skin arrived on the grid! Silken Moon released a brand new skin. “Simone” is the perfect skin for all who wish to keep their young look. The skin is very detailed what you will see if you take a demo and look at the body. It is made very realistic looking. Every pixel was placed with love and thoughts. The high lights are incredible awesome set. For example the collar bones are wonderfully accented, to get the imagination of a well shaped and beautiful body. “Simone” comes in 8 new and different skin tones. If you purchase one of the “Simone” skins you get a lot of additional extras with it. Each skin has 2 cleavage options, an eyebrow shaper, Slink hand and feet applier HUDs for all 8 tones and as well an open and a closed lips option with matching prim teeth for the perfect smile ๐Ÿ˜‰ . Besides the natural tinted eyebrows you get some real crazy coloured eyebrows like green or pink and you get one tintable option to make it any color you like. For some it might also be interesting that Malicia Python, mother and creator of “Simone” and owner of Silken Moon, offers a free service for Lola appliers as well.

The makeup which I added on “Simone” as well comes from Silken Moon. The “Autumn Eyes” in gold so repeated the lines of the amazing clothing. The whole set of the “Autumn Eyes” contain wonderful dark and warm colors, wich are perfectly for the actual season. Usually I do not wear any eyebrows anymore but with the cool options of the “Simone” skin I could not resist to add some green eyebrows that went with the outfit so well ๐Ÿ˜‰ . The lipstick is one of the new “Simone Lips” in lavender.

But Malicia did not only release a new skin… she as well made some amazing mesh clothing like the “Paradox” outfit. The “Paradox” vest and pants in the peacock version caught my attention as i never saw such a rich textured outfit in so many different colors that go so well together ๐Ÿ˜‰ Usually I am more the black type, but with the beautiful pattern of the pants and the amazing texture of the vest it was just a ‘must have’ for me. There is way more variations of the “Paradox outfit at Silken Moon and you can combine, mix and match all of them with each other. The dark teal, green texture goes along so well with the ‘cool pale canvas’ version of “Simone and I could not resist even red hair to all the colors and wild makeup combination ๐Ÿ˜‰ .

To add even more color and repeat the orange tone of the hair and the “Paradox” vest, I decided to wear the new “Kaya” set from Lazuri. With the amazing menu that does let you recolor nearly every little part of the set it was easy to set the gems to orange and get some gold and wooden look for the metals.

The poses are from the latest release from Corpus. The “Lounge Series 001” are a full set of amazing sits. But we all know Corpus for unusual and amazing editorial poses and so the new set is not just a bunch of simple and usual sit. You have half laying poses like i used on the first picture and as well some ground sits in it. A real must have for every blogger and photographer!

And there is me the Bird of Paradise, unbelievable but trueย  in strong and bright colors ๐Ÿ˜‰

News at Wicca’s Wardrobe!!! – The “Show Off” Set

WM - Poses Show Off Set

And again I did it :p .ย A new pose set has arrived at Wicca’s Wardrobe. The new “Show Off” set did grow out of a styling with the awesome “Au Revoir Sade” coat from LeeZu. I wanted to have some poses who have a smart and sexy touch for this styling. The focus for this poses were on the hips and legs since they can be seen. Certainly you can use those poses for every other styling with or without coats as well ๐Ÿ™‚ .

WM - Poses Show Off Set - Fatpack

As usual all of the poses have smooth transitions so you can use them as runway poses or modeling poses as well besides just making pictures with them. The poses are sold single via the pose stands in my store and as fatpacks out of the boxes that are hanging on the wall. I hope you like them and try them out in my new store at Crazy Connection ๐Ÿ™‚ at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/New/27/82/22

Wicca’s Wardrobe: Vulnerable…

N1CO 001

The rain on my skin… to hard

A word in my ear… to loud

The sun in my eyes… too bright

You… feel like a million people

I … feel like a million shards

… and i just can see why

N1CO 002

Lately I met a wonderful woman, that I adore for a longer time as a designer and genius, creative mind. Noreia Owen, owner and designer of N1CO. In the past I visited her store several times and found a lot of non usual and amazing accessories and outfits – some of them I showed on my blog already ๐Ÿ˜‰ .

She took a longer break from SL she told me and came back finding her self facing the new mesh clothing and she started to work her way trough that and started to create a lot of amazing mesh outfits and clothing that I soon will show as well here on my blog.

Today I would like to spotlight one of her older outfits that I wanted to do pics with for a long time. The “[YAFL ] Devotion” outfit is a wonderful creation in black and orange. The outfit comes with black tassels for the chest but I wanted to bring the orange back again with a corset so I skipped them.

N1CO 004

The orange mesh corset I found on marketplace and it is the only part I added besides the “Devotion” outfit. All the other parts, the pants with the amazing lines which show a lot of skin, the jacket with the cool necklace, the awesome headpiece with the blindfold, the jacket and the hair are part of the “Devotion” outfit.

This styling again shows that older designs and creations still can be amazing, and timeless even if they are not fully mesh made ๐Ÿ˜‰ You always can combine older things that already got some dust in your wardrobe. Those things even might pull a unique touch as many might have forgotten about them already ๐Ÿ˜‰ .

The skin is my new and updated Wicca skin that Malicia Python, owner and designer of Silken Moon made for me, in the awesome lumee tone. The lipstick I used, is one of her latest releases, the Luna lips. For all of the new lipsticks at Silken Moon you have now, besides the usual closedย  lips, an open lips option with a matching alpha layer.

Halloween with Mea Culpa & Silken Moon

Mea Culpa - Crow 002

Halloween is not too far away and SL’s top designers already released their Halloween collections and items. I would like to do a series of Halloween 2013 looks and decided to start with one of the latest releases from Mea Culpa.

Mea Culpa - Crow 001

The “Lunar Crow” is the perfect styling for an avant garde Halloween look. For all of those who prefer a couture look instead of a scary, cruel looking style, the “Lunar Crow” will be the right choice. The outfit is partwise mesh made. The skirt and the neck corset are mesh made and combined with the prims of the hat and the moving prims of the shoulder parts it makes a perfect match between old and new design tools. The layers are made with a delicate lace texture and the huge headpiece adds an extra avant touch.

Mea Culpa has an awesome Halloween special! Till Halloween on the 31st ofย  October, there will be different Halloween matching outfits for a special discount of 50% off!!! This is a chance, you should not miss… one of the great Mea Culpa designs for only the half prize!!!

Every week, there will be a selection of outfits that are set to 50% off. This week it is the “Black Mamba” (https://wiccamerlin.de/mea-culpa-goes-fetish-fashion/), the “Call of the Siren” (http://wiccamerlin.wordpress.com/2012/12/21/news-and-spectacular-christmas-special-at-mea-culpa/) and the “Dark Desire” (http://www.flickr.com/photos/meaculpahighfashion/6303396627/)

For all the males – do not be sad you have as well your Mea Culpa Halloween special. If you wanna know what it is this week just take a peek at the new Mea Culpa Mainstore! (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Himmafushi%20Island/127/141/23)

The nails are my favourite ones from Formanails. The “Madonna Skeleton” nails are prim nails, that fit to the regula avatar hands.

The incredible makeup comes out of the hand of Malicia Python, owner and designer of Silken Moon. The “Kabuki” makeup is one of the new releases, and for me it was the perfect match for today’s Halloween styling. The strong and dark ornaments round the eyes give you a certain kinda mystic look and together with the lip stripe that has that sharp line going down… it just caught my heart ๐Ÿ˜‰ .

Corpus is Re-Opening with new Poses!!!

Diconay Boa, owner and designer of Corpus is back!!! She reopened her store! I really missed Corpus on the grid, as it is one of my absolute favourite pose stores on the grid for runway and photography poses.

Corpus has fresh poses with unusual highlights. Diconay made runway and gown poses with wonderful transitions and as well she has her editorial poses, which I really fell in love with over quite some time. Those editorial poses you can snap from so many different angles and always get a new mood, another vibe and some very powerful pictures. To see all of her amazing poses just visit the new Corpus Mainstore (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Furness/77/52/3133) and try!
