Wicca Merlin for the PBIP Campaign

Model: Wicca Merlin
Photographer: Falbala Fairey

Usually it is rare to see me in PINK but for this great cause I am very happy that I got such an incredible pink picture by Falbala Fairey.
Thank you so much Fala!!! <3

——————————————————

This campaign will show some of the most important fashion figures on the grid going bald to show support for the cause.

The idea is not to raise money, but to raise conscience and awareness about a subject that concern us all, to some more direct than to others.

If you wish to take part of this campaign follow this simple steps.

1. Style yourself in any style you would like to portray. Groups, Couples or singles are accepted.

2. Get completely bald, we mean absolutely no hair on your head.

3. IM one of the photographers in the campaign and ask for an appointment and ask him/her for the pink ribbon and add it to the style you already created.

4. Add your image to the flickr group πŸ™‚
www.flickr.com/groups/1738181@N25/ or the MOOLTO Group moolto.ning.com/group/pretty-bald-in-pink-photo-campaign

5. Pass the word around and get others interested πŸ˜€

These campaign will run only on October, so make sure you make your appointment before the month is over.

For a Pink World Without Breast Cancer.

Latenight work before the grand reopening of Prism!!!

In a few hours it is… the grand reopening of Prism. Last minute Journey McLaglen told me she will have an amazing group gift for the opening and I have no the honor to show it to you as a preview ;).

Sure I wanted to show you before the reopening of the store and so I sat down late at night in my office and worked on the pics and the blog. The new outfit is called “Denise” and in a wonderful maroon color it will be the group gift especially for the reopening of Prism.

The whole “Denise” outfit in maroon will be the group gift. A full ready-to-wear outfit with amazing details as a gift… unbelievable but true!

You can wear this outfit with or without the amazing jacket. The striped pants are amazingly textured as well as the filigree ornamented top. The jacket has so many cute details like the buckle and you again can see the awesome skills of Journey McLaglen, as she painted the textures as always per hand on her own. It amazes me every time, the total perfectionism of this textures Journey McLaglen does.

Now you maybe can understand why I sat down that late to finish this post for that amazing news πŸ˜‰ Today it will be the day. At 10AM SLT Prism will reopen the doors and show off the amazing new outfits, designed by Journey McLaglen! Don’t miss it!!!

Finesmith Designs: 11 Rooms – The Inspiration Show!!!

Wicca’s Wardrobe – My look for the “Finesmith Inspiration Project” casting

Today was a very exciting day for me… I was allowed to take part on the “Finesmith Inspiration Project” casting for March 2011. I was very excited and I opened my jewel case and spread it all over my bed… what to choose for such an event and such an opportunity? I was trying nearly everything on what I have and nothing seemed to meet the requirements of that casting. So, what to do…?

First of all I cannot go naked but I also do not want to wear anything that disturbs the jewelry that should be center of my styling… suddenly I remembered that silver airbrush color that I had left from another shooting and quickly my whole body was covered by that sweet silver color. Ok that seemed to be a basic. Then parts of the last dress Nefertiti Kimagawa gave me to blog came back in my mind (yes this dress will be blogged very soon as well πŸ˜‰ ) It has sweet transparent looking shirt and pants layers to cover the private parts lightly but still not enough to satisfy what I wanted to have for this special evening… so I put on the great nipple shields that yula Finesmith released not too long ago and as well the cool necklace that yula changed to kinda skirt came back in my mind. I was wearing it for the SL Art Couture Metropolis Show ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24jxxnCv8XM ) and it worked perfectly for that what I wanted to have for now too in combination with my favourite collar from Finesmith Designs as well. Quickly I found the matching bracelets to this look and looked in the mirror again… there was something missing for an “Inspiration Project” casting. My eyes catched the “Valeria Set ” earrings and I suddenly got the idea of sweet wings… a few hammer hits later and 2 parts for connecting that new-made wings to my back – yes hell I was trying to build some and texture it as well –Β  I looked again at my self and …that seemed to look right! Now I can just wait the last minutes till it was going to start. I was ready to go and my nervousness raised with ever minute…

Of course, we had to line up in alpha order – next time if I choose a name for a game please remind me not to let it start with “W” – and I had to wait loooong… and it was enough time to get even more nervous as I anyways was… as it was my turn I walked out that runway with knees like jelly, all of the contestants were wearing so beautiful gowns and outfits and I …without any fabric on my body… but the reaction was amazing I felt my heart flying away and I really made it to be one of the 5 choses models AND I was chosen to be on the advertise for the next month as well.. I was not far from fainting and full of happiness. I walked back with all the other amazing models and it felt as I would walk on clouds! Thanks so much for all that let me feel like that and give me the chance to do that!!!

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

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 πŸ™‚

“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 πŸ˜‰

‘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 πŸ˜‰


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 πŸ˜‰ 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… πŸ˜‰

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 πŸ˜‰ 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.

Sneak Preview of the new PurpleMoon Gown!!!

Today I have the great honor to give you a sneak preview on the newest gown from PurpleMoon. The release will be on Monday the 30th of August. I got 2 colors to show you before the official release will be πŸ™‚

“Amanda” is the new gown called and here we have the black version. The whole dress is a very sexy and tight one that goes wider at the very bottom. The skirt parts itself are wonderful flexible. The tight skirt and top accent lovely the well-shaped body. The black is broken with beautiful golden textures like you can see at the very bottom of the skirt.

The chest part is made of a wonderful golden ornamented texture. Again Poulet Koenkamp shows her amazing skills and ideas on this gown and her love for the detail. The lights and shadows are carefully and perfect set to give the gown a very realistic look.

Also part of the outfit is that amazing little clutch. The colors are repeatedΒ  in that purse and also the golden texture of the chest part is part of the clutch. Even for that little accessorie PurpleMoon shows that they really work into the very detail. The black basic of that little handbag also shows lights and shadows, what makes the imagination of awesome folds. Even the little filigree chain …simply incredible…

Make sure you do not miss the new release of this amazing gown in all its great colors. I am sure, that you will find more than the emerald or black one πŸ˜‰

Marks down the 30th of August in cour calendar and be one of the first that can call this stunning dress your own πŸ˜‰
