The Good Old Times featuring [AD] Creations, EMO-tions & SoliDea FoliEs

by

Solidea, AD, EMOtions 03

Today I had a very sentimental mood and that’s kinda the reason for those style of pictures for some news of EMO-tions, (AD) Creations and SoliDea FoliEs.

Lately I have a lot of those moments when you think back to the good old times when you started something. In this case it was a meeting with a dear old friend who started modeling with me and retired some time ago now. It was a very nice talk and not just whining about the good old times but we came across that there really are changes from back then to today – good and bad ones. One of the good ones is that nowadays the avatar really looks very nice with all the mesh, sculpties and what not parts you have for the body and as well for the clothing and hair. Wicca was born like a cybergoth with system hair and flexi prims were the top-notch as they were super new*snickers* I remember very well how long I had to wait until I got my first flexi hair from Gurl6 and my first skin from Nominee. Back then 75 L$ for hair and 250 L$ for a skin was a fortune for me. Usually you got your money from the camping chairs wich gave you like 2 to 5 L$  for a hour or from those funny money trees that gave you a linden here and there in a random time :p . We had to wear face lights to be seen on dark runways as there was no windlight at all and it was kinda as a revolution when Maitreya released their first animated poses wich moved from one pose to the other for runway modeling… yes we all had them and you saw the same 5 poses from nearly everyone 😉

But enough reminiscing about good old times… because there are som many amazing news in the here and now.

The wonderful bacl dress are one of the newest releases from SoliDea FoliEs, called “Giz/Total Black” The dress comes in 2 parts , the top and the skirt wich as well can be worn single for mix and match purposes. The wonderful huge flower head part a well is part of the outfit. In the mirror you can see the sweet little flower, that holds together the belt at the backside of the dress.

For the hair I used the “Antoinette” from EMO-tions. A wonderful baroque hairstyle that went so amazing with the idea of my good old times rant 😉 . Together with the hair, the idea of the mirror and the chair came up to complete the vision of a baroque look 😉

The eye decor with all the incredible details was made by Aliza Karu, owner and designer of [AD] Creations. The whole “Chain Make-Up” set comes with a wonderful tattoo layer for the makeup and the ‘tear-washed-down mascara’, plus an attachment with the sweet little heart-shaped gems under the eye and the inner eye corner.

For the jewelry I again chose EMO-tions, the “Dragon Heart” set. This amazing ensemble with gems and the little dragons framed in noble silver metal was the perfect finish for today’s look.

Mystic Forrest – featuring EDELFABRIK, FORMANAILS & EMO-tions

by

Edelfabrik & EMO-tions 01

Many of you know, that I love to make weird and fantasy stylings. Usually I go with my favourite color black. Today I got a wonderful outfit from Edelfabrik and by looking through all the color options I thought I could try right the opposite to my black safe zone ;).

The outfit  I am talking about is the new “Bonfire” outfit made by Edelfabrik. The outfit is kinda a whole outfit with many different options and parts. The spiral bracelets, a necklace, the boots, the mesh top with the cool spiked collar and panty and as well the layer parts for thong and some pasties plus the wonderful stockings in different colors to match. And the huge HUD, that changes all the mesh parts and the boots has 15 colors to choose from. The HUD is so very well scripted that you even can apply the colors of the mesh top , panties and boots individual by checking or unchecking the 3 little boxes on the top left of the HUD.

Edelfabrik & EMO-tions 02

The wonderful hair is one of the newest releases from EMO-tions. The “Heavens Gate'” hair comes with this amazing headpiece of filigree steel parts, gems and feathers. The “Heavens Gate” hair at the moment is available at the ‘We love Roleplay’ event and it was totally matching my idea of a mystical Forrest creature.  For the accessories I wanted something special as well and I remembered the “Skeletonia” hand jewelry from Formanails for my right hand. Now the left one looked a bit empty and so I decided to use the “Punk” wich are part of s full rings and nails set as well from Formanails.

When I looked at my pixels it looked kinda finished but the more I thought about it I wanted to add some tattoos. I tried some of my favourites and certainly one of my White Widow tattoos was the right choice. The “Bharati” tattoo was what I missed to be satisfied 😉

Ready to get back to the woods and enjoy the peace, freedom and silence of the dark green Forrest 🙂

Art in hats by alpha tribe

alpha tribe arts in hats 2a

Sometimes you do not have much words for a picture as the creation speaks for itself…

I found this hat at this years art in hats and it was just so stunning that I had to take a snap with it 😉

The hat is called “BeTeBe” and comes from alpha tribe. Since I did not wanna add to much to it I just went with a black skin, wich already carries the red makeup from Nuuna Nitely.

LOTD 07/02/2014 – Teal Dreams

by

Finesmith, PurpleMoon, Full

You sit there, wear one thing after another from your inventory and try to fins something that inspires you. Sometimes you find one piece and nothing to add to it. But sometimes you just put one part and all of a sudden the rest of it just falls together 😉

Like it was today. I again put on the “Moxie” outfit from Purple Moon, wich was sold at The Instruments in the June 2014 round. I already saw it blogged a few times in pink and red so I wanted to go for a nother amazing color of this sexy ensemble. My choice fell on teal. I always had a weakness for black and teal maybe because of my cyber addiction 😉

The “Moxie” outfit comes with the top, belt and skirt, wich is one mesh part and the layer leggings. With those edgy shoulder parts this jacked took my heart right away. The huge belt with the big buckles at the front reminded me on some of those amazing 80s styles and with the leggings it just completed the vision. So there was not much of a thinking needed to use the super cool high plateau shoes called “Summer Breeze Flips”. The shoes are made for the slink high feet only and will not work without them.

Finesmith, PurpleMoon, Shoes

With a HUD you can change the colors of the sole, the inner part of the show and as well the little straps.

To even more go towards the 80s direction I took my new “Punk” nails from Formanails. The nails have 2 parts. Once the sharp stiletto form nails wich can be changed in color for all of those, that are colored black in my post. The golden ones will stay for each color. The second part are the amazing rings, piercings, skulls, studs and accessories.

Those “Punk” nails are made for the slink mesh hands only with just the avatar hands it will not look properly. You can get those amazing nails and rings for the casual, elegant and elegant 1 version of the sklink hands.

Finesmith, PurpleMoon, Formanails Hands Close

As you can see on my wrist, I as well used some jewelry. This time it was parts of the “Iris” set from Finesmith.

Maybe the best to describe the feeling I had would be to quote Cyndi Lauper with “Girls Just Want To Have Fun!”

I hope you had fun too with my little roam through my closet again 😉

Business can be fashion and sexy as well ;)

by

GizzA 01

The new “Nautical Business” outfit from GizzA once again shows that even a business outfit can be fashion and sexy 😉 .

The new Nautical line from GizzA brought us many new and wonderful outfits and the “Nautical Business” outfit is just one of them. I already showed you another one a few weeks ago.

The ensemble contains the amazing blouse and the super sexy non symmetric skirt with the long row of buttons in the front. The ruffles at the bottom of the skirt and the way how the top is designed it has a lightly vintage character especially in the black and white colors.

For the shoes I decided to wear the new “Betty Heels” as well from GizzA, wich are made for the high version of the Slink mesh feet.

GizzA 02

To underline that vintage touch I added the “Oversized Sunglasses” from Izzie’s and the super cool “Vintage Romance” hat from LODE. The cute clutch I have from Lybra Rage, but from her old brand called “House of Rage” and I am not sure if it still is for sale.

The amazing and natural looking nails are from Nailed It out of the “French Pastel Set”.

LOTD 06/24/2014 LeeZu meets Miamai

by

LeeZu 01

Since RL kept me from posting all those wonderful things I got at the FFL for the last 2 weeks I decided not to hide those jewels from you and post them now even if the main event might have ended already.

Today’s basic outfit was the contribution of LeeZu to the FFL 2014. The “Bon Bon” dress comes in 2 different colors, black, yellow and cream. For my post I decided to wear the cream one with the huge red accents on the skirt.

LeeZu 02

The “Bon Bon” dress is a beautiful and sexy mesh dress. The long skirt covers the legs but the top shows a lot of skin. The huge red accents you will just find on the skirt what makes them even more spotlight of the whole dress. The top again shows the amazing texture skills of LeeZu Baxter. The wonderful folds and lights that make the fabric so realistic really caught my attention too.

For the shoes I have something special as well from Miamai.

LeeZu 04

Since the dress is going down to the floor nearly I took it off for a moment to snap the shoes 😉 . The “Curiosity” Pumps in reddish satin are made for the 21shoes event. You need the Slink high mesh feet to be able to wear them properly. The feet are not part of the shoes!

The color of the shoes just went perfect with the red accent of the dress. Now that my upper body was more white while on the lower I have this sexy red color accents, I decided to wear my “Garnet Nest” necklace from Paper Couture.

And now I will jump back into my inventory and see what else I missed the last 2 weeks 😉 .

Circus Mystic for Fashion for Life 2014

by

FFL PC 03

During the .PENUMBRA. Fashion Week S/S 2014 I met a very creative and wonderful person. Trinity Yazimoto, owner and super creative designer of Petite Chat (*PC*). I already blogged 2 of her creations for the :PENUMBRA: Fashion Week and now she is part of the Fashion for Life (FFL) with new creations. One of those new designs is the “Circus Dress”. Again this dress was made from a wonderful picture of herself. I talked to her for a few times now and I only can imagine how difficult it is to bring those amazing paintings on mesh prims. If you ever tried to texture a mesh item, you know how back it stretches, twists and destroys the actual texture. But if you take a closer look on Trinity’s creations you can see that every little thing is sharp and in line on the clothing as it was in the art work.

The “Circus Dress” inspired me to really go against the circus idea. A longer time ago I got a wonderful gift from Daphne Klossovsky, designer of [HANDwerk]. A super sweet and cute wooden horse that looks like as it was taken out of a carousel. The colors just went perfect with the “Circus Dress” and so I finally found something I can post that amazing carousel horse with 😉 .

The “Circus Dress” is materials enabled and so you can test all those super cool new windlights with that new feature as well and can see the full beauty of that dress and as well it adds a wonderful uniqueness to the dress.

The original artworks are displayed in Trinitys little art gallery called Petite Chat Gallery (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Haddath/26/106/67).

And to keep the eyes on Fashion for Life please as well take a look at the hair. The “Josy” hair style was made by Mirja Mills, owner and creator of EMO-tions.

“Josy” has a wonderful long and flexible high ponytail and in the front some wisps fall into your face. With all those amazing features and the fact that you can have this in all the well-known colors that EMO-tion offers, this hair is the perfect addition for your everyday hairstyles.

Please make your way over to the Fashion for Life sims and help with enlarging your wardrobe, hair and accessories. All those amazing designs were made for an amazing charity that raises money for those who need the help!

FFL PC 02

Last but not least I would like to share the music, wich underlined my inspiration for the pictures while I was working on them.

Circus

There’s only two types of people in the world
The ones that entertain and the ones that observe
Well baby, I’m a put-on-a-show kind of girl
Don’t like the backseat, gotta be first

I’m a like the ringleader, I call the shots
(Call the shots)
I’m like a firecracker I make it hot
When I put on a show

I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I’m ready to break
I’m like a performer, the dancefloor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that you feel the same

All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gon’ trip just like a circus
Don’t stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor just like a circus ahhhhha

There’s only two types of guys out there
Ones that can hang with me and ones that are scared
So baby, I hope that you came prepared
I run a tight shift so beware

I’m a like the ringleader, I call the shots
(Call the shots)
I’m like a firecracker, I make it hot
When I put on a show

I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I’m ready to break
I’m like a performer, the dancefloor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that you feel the same

All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gon’ trip just like a circus
Don’t stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor just like a circus

Let’s go

Let me see what you can do
I’m runnin’ this like-like-like a circus
Yeah, like a what? Like-like-like a circus

All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gon’ trip just like a circus
Don’t stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor just like a circus

All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gon’ trip just like a circus
Don’t stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor just like a circus

Soccer World Cup Mania with Edelfabrik & EMO-tions

by

Edelfabrik 01

At the moment most of the people I know, are totally crazy about soccer and the ongoing world cup. I am a totally non soccer person I have to admit, but when I lately met Sarah Tremor and she gave me that wonderful outfit … I forgot my opinion about siccer for  moment, as this amazing design really caught my attention. The “World Cup Bella” outfit comes with this super sexy dress, wich is only hold together by laces. Two in the front and two in the back.

Between the laces you can peek through on the skin, what gives the whole outfit a very sexy look. What I like is, that Sarah added underwear to it, so you are safe anyways where you wanna go, plus if it is really hot you even can pull off the dress and use the underwear as a sexy bikini 😉

The dress is made of a knitted fabric with the flag of england on it. In the back you even can see the coutry printed on the dress and like real soccer shorts you have that number in the middle of your back. This amazing dress is available in 12 different country flags! I just chose England as I love the combination of red and white *snickers* and I love England.

Last but not least I would like to drag your attention on the shoes, as they come as part of the outfit as well!

Edelfabrik 03

For the hair I used one of the FFL contributions of EMO-tions. The “Renee” hairstyle was perfect for this kinda sporty but sexy look. The hair is mesh made so the braid moves awesome with every movement.

The little straps that hold the braid together, you can texture differetly by the HUD in a few ready made colors to match your look.

With the “World Cup Bella” dress you are definatly ready to go for a cool soccer party while you watch one of those exciting games 😉

LOTD 06/16/2014 – A lazy afternoon with Miamai

by

Miamai FFL 2014 01

Sometimes in a few rare moments I like to explore the wonderful sim built by SL residents. Mostly it is on a sunday afternoon when I come home from gigs with my RL band and do not feel like working at all ;).

Sometimes I am in the mood for finding new places, wich I can use as background for pictures and sometimes I just go back to wonderful sims I saw in the past to see if they changed something there and if there is anything new.

One of the most beautiful and most popular sim is the Neva River sim.

Miamai FFL 2014 03

If you wander over the sim you will find several places who are kinda locked as they are private residential but a fe spots you can explore as the owner is kind enough to let us roam around there 😉 .

If I go there I always make sure I do not disturb the residents there as I am just a grateful guest there.

Miamai FFL 2014 02

For my today’s journey I was wearing one of the latest releases of Miamai. The “Dalida” dress is an awesome long shirt with kinda a bottom short skirt part. It is available in various patterns and textures and I chose the black version for today. The hat/hair combination “Happydays Wicker Hat” as well is made by Miamai. I really like it if you have hair and hat connected already, as it usually is a pain in the ass to get hair fixed under a hat :p .

The boots became on of my favourites lately. With that boots I discovered a new store that I now visit frequently to check if they have news since they have that little special twist, wich I always search for my clothing. Dirty Princess is the new place to be for me if I am looking for shows or something else lightly funky.

To complete the look and add a touch of the summer feeling that I have lately with the weather in germany, I used the “Oversized Sunglasses” from Izzie’s.

And now… I will wander around across this wonderful Neva River sim a little bit more to explore all the amazing details 🙂 .

Miamai Arts & Hats 3 with logo

Miamai – “Amarcord Hat” – luxe – black satin (Art in Hats 2014)

Yesterday the amazing Art in Hats 2014 event started. Again Quan Lavander took the challenge to again let  her amazing event happen, wich brings together photographers or bloggers and designers.

I felt very honored, when Quan last week IMed me asking if I would like to be part of her idea and make  the pictures for the stunning designs of Miamai. I love Miamai since in forever, so there was no doubt about it, that I wanted to make that. Quan TPed me over to take a look at the awesome hats of Miamai and instantly I had ideas how I would like to make pictures with them.

Miamai Arts & Hats 2 with logo

Miamai – “Soleil Hat” – luxe – indigo flax (Art in Hats 2014)

The basic idea of the exhibition is to bring designers, artists and photographers together in an art exhibition / sales event by presenting hats built by artists and fashion designers in combination with photos made by photographer, bloggers or graphic artists. The photos are meant to be an art shot.

Hats are such an important accessory to so many stylings that the idea of an event only made for hats really caught my attention already last year.

This year as well I am allowed to blog some of the amazing designs so it will be great fun after contributing those 3 pictures to ply around with some of the other amazing creations 🙂

I am very proud to be invited  to be part of Art in Hats. These are the 3 pictures I have made for the exhibition and there they are available, certainly without the Art in Hats letters ;).

Thank you so much Quan, for inviting me !
