Fantasy Faire 2013 – Rfyre & The Plastik + News from Finesmith

April 26, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

From the 20th of April until the 28th of April you can find amazing creations various designers made for themes like fantasy, role play, steam-punk and Sci-Fi and all that is content of dreams at the SecondLife Fantasy Faire 2013. Incredible builders created awesome sims for that event where you can make fantastic pictures or just explore and get caught away in your dreams and imagination.

The Fantasy Faire is one of the most huge events that take part in the RFL. RLF – Relay for Life – is a charity organisation that supports the American Cancer Society.

The whole event takes part on 10 sims. The are arranged in a nice way with a path that you can follow to explore all of them. On 8 you will find the creations that were made from all the designers to support the RLF. The last 2 sims are the event sims, where presentations, music events, concerts, auctions and silent auctions take place. To make it more interesting for visitors, a super amazing hunt is taking place where you can find many incredible little items.

Today I would like to take a closer look on the creations of Rfyre and The Plastik.

Rfyre created two wonderful full outfits for the Fantasy Faire and one I would like to spotlight today. The “Lux Fantasy” outfit is part wise made with mesh. The corset and parts of the arms sleeves are mesh made and the amazing bodice comes as a layer. The full outfit as well contains a long skirt, that’s open in the front, but for the post I just skipped that part, because for the aggressive running look I liked it more without the skirt ;). The amazing, cool looking boots with the detailed texture and the awesome buckles atthe side are part of the outfit.

As always Raven Pennyfeather, owner and designer of Rfyre, points with her amazing textures. She has such an eye for the detail and her creations mirror that. If you take a closer look at the textures you can see how filigree and perfect they are made and so she gives the gothic look a very elegant and high fashion touch. The chest part looks like silver plate decorations and give the whole outfit a very strong amazon looking touch. The wonderful chains that run over the cleavage again show how detailed Raven works for her designs. Her creativity seemd to never come to an end as she always comes with new ideas and combinations, that amaze me. It is always a honor to blog her creations :). The black silver look of this outfit really makes a wonderful base for realizing your own fantasies in many ways 🙂

The wonderful huge jewelry is one of the newest releases from Finesmith. The “Truth” set is available for male and female and it contains the necklace, earrings, shoulder parts and a bracelet. The male version just is a little bit bigger sized. The dark silver metal goes wonderful with the black gems and the long spikes already gave a very demon looking attitude and so it was perfect for this styling ;).

The hair is one of my favourite styles from EMO-tions. The “Solitude” hair has a very special option as you have two hairstyles in one that are to change with a menu. If you click it you are asked if you wanna have ‘Style A’ or ‘Style B’ and with a sweet gesture it changed the look after you made your choice. For the “Solitude” style as well one version has the forehead chain like in the post and the other shows without the chain.

The skin as well is a Fantasy Faire contribution and it comes from The Plastik. The “Arkasia” skin in the ‘Paua” color was the perfect addition to my demon style. As I told before in another post you have several options for each skin and color in the pack and this time I decided to go with the ‘bare’ version, that only has a scale framed face and some scales on the body. The “Bloodless Silver” eyes are as well from The Plastik and I had them in the skin folder as well. Together with the “Dark Shadow”, the “Smudgy Shadow” and the “Lip Stripe” that came together with the “Arkasia” too the demon look was perfect and I just added some wings from Material Squirrel.

As well an amazing hunt just started at the Fantasy Faire… so hurry there and release the fantasy you carry inside you (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Fairelands%20Junction/128/128/23)

Fashion Faire 2013 – EMO-tions, Paper Moon & Plastik

April 25, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

The Fantasy Faire is one of the most huge events that take part in the RFL. RLF – Relay for Life – is a charity organisation that supports the American Cancer Society.

Today I would like to lead you down into the ocean with EMO-tions, Paper Moon and Plastik :).

As I saw the items from Paper Moon I thought about, wich fantasy direction I could go. Paper Moon offers a top and a skirt in different shades of purple, pink and beige for the Fantasy Faire. As I was playing again with the fantastic skins from The Plastik, I got the idea of a fantasy mermaid looking girl deep down in the ocean. So I took the “Synjarni Silver Tribal Fusion” top from Paper Moon to the “Arkasia – Kryv” skin made by The Plastik. In the skin pack you find several versions of the skin, as well eyes and different makeup versions. I decided to go with the Atlantic version, because of the style idea I had. The scales round the eyes and over the body are not blanket the skin too much and let the human side still exist in a wonderful way. The mesh “Synjari” top from Paper Moon with it’s amazing texture and the filigree ornaments made a nice base for the styling together with the mermaid tail from FATEbecome. The wonderful “Paradise” hairstyle was made from by EMO-tions as well for the Fantasy Faire 2013. The long hair is available in black , natural, fantasy blue and fantasy turquoise. For this post I chose the natural version. The jewelry part of the forehead and the beautiful feathers are as well part of the hairstyle and make the awesome fantasy look perfect.

To add a a little playful touch I added some feathers from Fancy Fairy and to underline the underwater look with a jewerly piece, I decided to wear the “Kitsch Couture” necklace from Finesmith as it reminded me of those flexible sea anemones.

To see more of the fantastic releases of the Fantasy Faire 2013 ( you might wanna look by yourself 🙂 Always think on the fact that with every purchase you help! As well an amazing hunt just started at the Fantasy Faire… so hurry there and release the fantasy you carry inside you 😉 (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Fairelands%20Junction/128/128/23)

Male News at Mea Culpa!

April 23, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

After a longer pause Mea Culpa is back with new designs for the males! Tatanka Kaligawa, owner and designer of Mea Culpa, released a new male collection and I am very happy, that I could talk Redclaw Inshan into it to wear it for me, so I can show some of the amazing news 😉

The new “Arctic Storm” coat is my main focus for this post. This amazing coat has wonderful flexible parts that move fantastic with every step you take. The awesome textures give a perfect realistic look. For this post I chose the “Arctic Storm” in black first like you can see above.

For all who prefer the lighter tones, the “Artic Storm” in grey might be the choice ;). You have the same amazing features like for the black version. The long arms make an amaziing contrast to the open front and you do not really need to wear a shirt under it in my opinion *grins*

So even if the colder days get shorter, the new “Arctic Storm” coat from Mea Culpa should not miss in a good sorted males wardrobe 😉

I would like to thank Redclaw Inshan for the time and patience to model the new “Arctic Storm” coat for me.

To see all of the amazing new male creations you better take a look for yourself at the Mea Culpa Mainstore 😉

Fantasy Faire 2013 – EMO-tions, Plastik & Talevin’s Design

April 22, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

The Fantasy Faire is one of the most huge events that take part in the RFL. RLF – Relay for Life – is a charity organisation that supports the American Cancer Society.

Today I would like to drag your attention to the creations of EMO-tions, Plastik and Talevin’s Design.

EMO-tions is well known for quality fantasy and role-play designs since a lot of years. For this year’s Fantasy Faire Mirja Mills, owner and designer of EMO-tions, designed a few very special fantasy hair styles. The “Sunburst” hair style is one of them. It is a wonderful wild hairstyle that comes I amazing fantasy colors. The silver jewelry parts you can see round the face, are part of the hair itself. I only added the “Inferno Horns” to give the whole look a demon attitude 😉

The amazing “Draziira” skin as well is one of the fantastic items of the Fantasy Faire 2013, contibuted by Plastik. The black skin comes in different versions for the colored parts and I chose the red one called “Inferno”. Inside of the skin package I found a super cute pair of fantasy long ears, that matched the skin and some red glowing eyes who were perfect for my demon look.

The incredible “Chaos Tentacle” staff comes from Talevin’s Design. With this huge and amazing looking staff you will be able to rule the fantasy world with your cast your spells 😉 As well Talevin’s Design offers a wonderful HUD that has lot of effects that you can apply on other avatars to make your magic even look more real. Some of them are really fun as long as you do not bother people with it, that do not want it 😉

Violator has a new Prêt-à-porter line!

April 21, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Incredible news at Violator! Soraya Vaher created a new line for Violator, a Prêt-à-porter collection. The idea behind that was, to have something that can be worn as part of the everyday wardrobe, for an affordable prize but still with the well known luxury that Violator offers for all their creations.

The new collection is named “Budget Chic – More for Less” and it offers some really amazing designs in different colors, always combined with gold or silver.

For todays post I decided to stay to black and showcase one black & gold and one black & silver look.

The first one you can see above is the amazing “Scherhazade” jumpsuit. The trendy wide pants together with the sexy top that shows a lot of clevage really lets every lady shine. The amazing jumpsuit is a one part mesh design and makes it easy to just put it on and look amazing 😉

To finish the look I added one of the newest releases of Finesmith, the “Diamond” set. I was able to change the textures of all parts with a menu to match the “Schehazade” jumpsiot perfectty and the necklace that goes up on the right shoulder underlined the luxury of the whole styling.

The matching shoes as well are part of the new “Budget Chic” collection. Soraya made them matching to each color and metal variation she created for the new line. Since I decided to go black and just exchange the gold for the silver, I only have the black version of the “Pride” stilettos shown in this post 😉 The spikes make a wonderful edge to the black ankle boots and the silver and gold decorations bring back the metal parts of the style in an awesome way.

The second look is put together of 2 different parts of the new “Budget Chic” collection. The “Candy” skirt and the “Passion” jacket.

The “Passion” jacket is an open mesh jacket ornamented with a wonderful silver texture and at the neck you have an amazing flower part that goes up on the left shoulder. The “Candy” skirt repeats the silver texture and is decorated with an amazing ruffled bow in the front. The two little slits at the upper thighs ad again a very sexy touch.

I only added the “Diamond” earrings of the same set I was wearing before just textured a little different, to match the silver parts of the outfit, fishnet stockings and a tie I found at Redgrave as part of a top.

So do not wait and TP over to the Violator Mainstore and see all the amazing colors and styles of the new “Budget Chic” colletion and enjoy all the new designs without getting broke 😉

Today I would like to start my little row of Fantasy Faire 2013 posts with the contribution of Ezura.

Ezura made different items for the Fantasy Faire and I tried to combine them all in one outfit whats really possible 😉

The base is the amazing “Fanatsy Velnyra” outfit. It kinda is a ready to wear outfit as it contains all visible parts like the bra, the stockings, the skirt, the cuffs and as well the panties. The amazing mesh “Thigh High” boots are the second item for the Fantasy Faire. The long over-knee boots underline the sexy touch of the outfit very well ;). What really caught my attention are the super cool gloves with the looooong blades that reminded me about Freddy Krueger :p

To finish the styling I took the “Mai Goth” collar from Ezura with the awesome spikes that matched the blades perfect in my opinion 😉

Fabulous New Jewelry Dresses at Chop Zuey

April 19, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

I guess we all remember the legendary white jewelry dress that was auctioned this year at the RFL Fashion Week for over 200 000 lindens. Frolic walked this spectacular gown down the runway, that Belle Roussel, owner of Chop Zuey, designed especially for this charity event. I remember that all of us that walked that runway show were standing backstage and became more and more speechless and as well breathless until the gown finally was sold for so much money… for me sadly way out of range. But it was amazing that one single design can bring so much support for a wonderful cause like the RLF.

Now this amazing gown is back in new colors! Belle Roussel made a few new colors of this fantastic jewelry gown. For today’s post I decided to showcase the “Emerald Spring Gown”. The wonderful light green dress is decorated with so many wonderful little gemstones, if the sun kisses you you will sparkle like a huge diamond 😉 The earrings, bangles and armlets are as well part of the outfit. You have the choice if you wanna wear the gown with or without the veil since you have one head piece with and one without the veil coming in your box. To see all of the amazing colors of the new jewelry dress – for sure besides the exclusive white for the RFL 😉 – you better make your way to the Chop Zuey Mainstore and see for yourself.

Wicca’s Wardrobe: LOTD 04/16/2013 – Loneliness

April 16, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Today I was in a little romantic mood and I had to prepare for my GizzA shift. I wanted to use some ruffles but make it not too playfully. I took the pants from the “Valentino Inspiration” as I really liked the ruffles and the aerial movement it has. To not make it too sweet looking, I used the top of the “Cadet Couture” outfit.The golden ornaments and the brown golden sleeves perfectly repeated the basic tone of the chest part.

For the collar/shoulder part I remembered the “Epaulette” set, that once was part of a special event and now is back for some gatcha fun at the Gizza Mainstore. You never know, which color you will get but you can collect all of them if you have enough patience and pocket money :p

The “Combat Boots” are one of the latest releases of GizzA. The heavy looking boots made a perfect frame together with the top for the sweet ruffled pants 😉

To cover the break of the top and the pants I used the belt of the “Rock Queen” outfit.

Now I will make my way over to GizzA to work a bit, maybe see you there 😉

Rocking News at Finesmith & Faster Pussycat!

April 16, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Today I am very happy to showcase one of the newest release of Faster Pussycat. Honey Bender and Poosykat Littleboots again made an amazing UK outfit 🙂

The “Buckingham – Queen of Punk II” is a wonderful ensemble of corset, skirt and wonderful ankle boots in the colors of the UK. The typical combination of red, blue and white paired with the punkish look totally got my heart. As I was younger I was shaving my hair to weird mohawks and colored them and we were listening to the Ramones, Sex Pistols or even Chelsea and other great UK punk bands :p

The awesome Union Jack is all over the outfit and with all the studs and spikes, paired with the huge skirt it really makes a head turner 😉

To complete the styling i added one of the newest releases of Finesmith called “Shame”. This set contains earrings, bracelet, head piece and a huge necklace made of 2 parts and the shoulder pads as well. You can split up the necklace to single parts as well and it still gives an amazing look 😉
