Mayden Ushimawa: “To make these clothes I thought the nightmares, fear and darkness.
I thought of a married couple dead, also united in the afterlife. He will own her heart forever.


I had fun creating these dresses and I freed my imagination! every day I had new ideas for the clothes and new details to add. Blood and disgusting elements are predominant! ”

Thetra Blackheart:” Hail to the queen of darkness when she wears the Nimue!  Intricate  lines, thick velvets, lace and all the  fine details make this dress of royalty among the damned.  The lining of this gorgeous outfit is of fine silk.  Embroidered detail along the outfit makes for  a view  that keeps giving.  The bustle accentuates the womans shape and the low-cut bodice entices the onlooker to gaze and become entranced while willingly fall victim to her every whim.

Lestat will allure anyone to get close and personal.  Dark or not the admirer will not be able to resist the look this outfit possesses.  The finesse, and elegance is balanced with mystery and danger.  The mix of modern goth, old renaissance and a twist of Victorian makes wearing the Lestat an enigma around others. Getting close and personal to the man wearing this is worth  the price to pay.

Marita Overland:”This outfit ensemble is entitled “Underworld” by Runway Couture. Taking a note from the leading lady from the film,Wicca is wearing the female slayer outfit. She is ready to kick some butt in her leather body suit adorned with gold inlay, rubies and chains. The near knee-length boots are matching this ensemble  in black leather and gold inlay and rubies. The short mini skirt with gold chevrons, rubies and chains, are sure to catch that beast off his guard as she slays him with her storm of fire balls.

Harsch  is the target on the slayer’s radar, in his large chest armor and tentacles adorned with gold and leather. His belt sits atop his hybrid bottom half with rubies and gold chain and male silks, matching his arm braces. His claws are long and yellow on both his hands and feet. He wears a face mask. also adorned with matching accents. Even with all his armor he is no match for Wicca Slayer !”

“Look at her…” – News from GizzA!

by

GizzA yesterday won the BOSL Award for the best new designer and I have to agree with that result 😉 A little while ago I had the pleasure to meet Giz Seorn and had the chance to talk to her a bit. She made me curious and I made my way to the GizzA Mainstore and I have to admit I was hell surprised about what I saw… A huge store with so many wonderful creations… I was really amazed. Today I would like to show you 2 more outfits of hers – one a little older but still sexy and stunning and another, newer one that looks so beautiful and perfect for the todays fashionista.

The “Shady Corset”, here shown in black, was one of the first outfits that catched my attention in the past. A friend of mine was wearing it and I was really curious as the quality of this outfit turned my head. The details of the textures and the fresh design, simply amazing! An awesome corset that shaped the ladies upper body perfect, combined with 2 ruffled wrist attachments and a wonderful color with the same look. The sculpted skirt gives more possibilities to wear the outfit then just in the bedroom 😉 For the stockings with the lovely filigree garters you have a closed and the open version you can see on the pic above. The gorgeous ankle boots are as well part of the outfit what makes a perfect overall look 🙂

The second outfit for today is named “Princely” This design is definitely the perfect style for the actual spring season. You can show off a lot of sexy skin but still look very elegant and classy. The salmon color has a wonderful shine and nearly looks like a delicate shining satin fabric if you wear it… simply breathtaking. The top layers are made off beautiful lace that is repeated in kinda leggings that show under the wide puffy pants. The pants itself are awesome sculpted prims that are attached to the upper legs. On the sweet ribbons that are decorating the knees you again can see the love for the detail that you will find in each and every creation of GizzA designs.

As a perfect jewelry I had to use the still unreleased “Delicate” set that is part of the soon coming “Demure Collection” that yula Finesmith made inspired by the awesome Rissa Friller. The incredible eye ornament totally amazed me and the perfectly shaped and textured bracelets and earrings are just perfect for the todays fashionista. The nails as well are by Finesmith Designs, the “Finesmith Nails Golden” are the perfect matching ones for the “Delicate” set that is fully color changeable over the known menu that all Finesmith jewelry has 🙂

Walk like an Egyptian with Finesmith Designs!

by

One set of Finesmith Designs caught me for longer and I had something in mind about styling that I did not find all the time. I wanted to do something special for the “Egyptian” set and lately I came across something I really liked 😉

The “Egyption” set it self contains The fabulous headpiece, the skirt with the long train, nipple shields, necklace, earrings and the incredible eye ornament. With all this parts the “Egyptians set is not only a jewelry set, it is a full outfit where you just have to add hair and shoes and a skin of your likings, for sure you can wear this with your usual skin as well I just was tempted with this golden one I found in a sale at VUI. The hair comes from Purplemoon including the hair base and it is called “Cat” in golden wheat. I chose some golden boots for it that anyways not show in this pics, so anyways :p. The “Egyptian” for me is the total proove of how creative and genius yula Finesmith is. Her endless heart and soul of creativity never will be empty and I am sure she writes history in the SL fashion world with her amazing creations… I saw my new Inspiration set a week ago even longer, it is just a secret till the official release… but I can tell you I never ever before saw jewelry thats so me! Yula puts in so much time, soul, love and effort in this inspiration sets and the turn out so amazing and unique! You really should try the Finesmith Inspirations Muse castings and if it is only to work close with one of the most amazing people in Second Life – yulaFinesmith ! For the perfect posing of the “Egyptian” set I used poses from Body Talking made by Arisia Ashmoot out of the “Mr Egypt” set that you as well can use for females 🙂

Who knows if you will ever again have the chance to get a Mea Culpa gown for 50% of the original prize!!! But that is not all… For all that have the Mea Culpa Mainstore in their pics section on their profiles, Tatanka Kaligawa designed a sweet, amazing anniversary dress that he will give a way for free to celebrate his first birthday. You will find that dress at the “Get your shopping card” board including a 10% discount card for another purchase.

But now let’s have a closer look on the dress I stole out of his laboratory to give you a sneak preview…

This dress is such a sweet idea to celebrate the first birthday of Mea Culpa. The short dress is a shows off very sexy the long legs and the texture of the clothing layers have an awesome shine. It is like you can feel the sun reflecting on each part of the dress. The shoulder prims add a light playful touch and the ornament on the chest make a lovely highlight. The neck collar as well is made as an attached prim. For me the hat is a total eye catcher. It looks like a neat umbrella that is directly worn on the head and so the name of the dress that I could see on a little piece of paper totally first for this design. “Sugar Candy” MeaCulpa‘s first anniversary dress is named and I am sure you will not miss it to get your “Sugar Candy” on Thursday the 21st at the Mea Culpa Mainstore!!!

Mayden Ushimawa:”To make the “Monica” dress I was inspired by a memorable evening of spring. The dominant color is white, this is a pure color and different from the usual formal dress. Lace makes the dress most elegant. The collar with plumes and the flexi skirt gives movement to the dress.

For the “Brian” outfit I took inspiration from the very beautiful RL models, with a perfect body and a face to be kissed all over. For this reason I created this outfit. It gives the impression of a man who has just escaped from a crowd of girls, a bit messy and not even having the time to wear his jacket.”
