Summer Feelings in Second Life

July 25, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Today I had a very raremoment.. I felt girly*giggles* I tried the wonderful “Natalie” dress, that I was given from JEZZIXA Cazalet. She designs now for a while and sells her creations under the Prism label. I saw her in that dress longer ago and I really liked how it looked on her. I tried for a long time to get a cute look together but when I am not in ym girly times, I just fail in that :p .

The dress has a white basic with wonderful floral ornaments and a black, lightly ruffled top end. The awesome hair with the huge flowers, called “Loroi” is one of the contributions of Miamai to the hair Fair 2013, which lasts only for a few more days. So better hurry if you did not yet visit it ;).

For the jewelry and the bag I searched through my GizzA folder, since I remembered, that one of the lastest releases included a wonderful jewelry set. The “Boho” set, contains a necklace, made of 2 parts and the wonderful bangles. I chose to only wear the upper part of the necklace for this styling. The “Gizza Summer Bad” with the sweet bow for me completed my girly look 😉 .

I would like to drag your attention now even closer to the face, Miamai made a fabulous set of lashes. The “Protagoniste Basic “set is a very special beauty and makeup set. You have a lot of possibilities to change themm to your likings with a HUD. You can decide of you wanna have extra lashes, gems in different colors of the eyeliner. As well there is pair of prim eyes that can be colored in different colors and even to the eyes you can add little extras via the HUD.

Cavaleiro

July 22, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Today I have some wonderful news from the Hairfair 2013 again, together with one of the latest releases of SoliDea FoliEs.

This post today is a perfect example for what happens if you are not quite sure what you wanna do*giggles*

I was fooling around with some clothing and just tried the “Blue” outfit from SoliDea FoliEs as got the latest releases for the Hairfair from Miamai.

I tried all the wonderful new hair styles as I came across the “Latin Lover” style. A wonderful unisex ponytail with a hat. I was looking at myself for sometime not sure what I shall think, as all of a sudden a picture of the portoguese Cavaleiros. Cavaleiros are male or female horseman or woman, kinda riders, out of the 18th century. Maybe it was a female version of a spanish Matador even, I have no clue what made my mind fly off like that*grins* but I saw me sitting with my new made style on a horseback*siggles*

I am sure the “Blue” outfit was not made for this purpose, but it was just too tempting to give it a try. Usually you have a huge headpiece of petals as well for your head I just skipped that for the “Latino Lover” hairstyle from Miamai. I added some nipple pastsies and a necklace from DECO… and for sure the horse*grins* The “Blue” outfit is a pants outfit with awesome huuuge ruffles and a wonderful mesh corset. The petals give a wonderfil payful touch to the whole outfit.

And now the horror started.. find a horse and a sim.. after looking for 2 days I found both and had a lot of fun fooling around with the various possibilities of the horse in front of a beautiful background. I wanted to give the pics an aged, used look. As I never did that before it was al ot of experimenting but I am happy about the outcome so far 😉

The Hairfair will be gone soon so make sure you go and buy for a good case, as many donations go to the Wigs for Kids charity!

Wicca’s Wardrobe: Today at LeeZu 07/16/2013

July 17, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Today I was in an elegant mood, as I prepared for my shift at LeeZu. I pulled out the “Tatum Gown”, one of the lastest additions to the LeeZu Mainstore. What I liked the most, was the combination of flexible prims and the mesh basic and gloves. Lately so much clothing is only mesh made and that easyly can look boring. LeeZu made the best descison to cover the parts wit mesh that actually really make sense like the body and the arms. Gloves that go over the ellbows look so much nicer when mesh made as just with layers or with pirms. The great flexi parts of the skirt give the whole design some life, as you can see them moving dreamy with every step you take or every turn you do.

Since I always have to add something crazy when I wear gowns (yes I was charged that not only once *grins*), I decided to wear one of the new hairstyles of [Bizarre Hair], that MyStiCa Matova, owner and designer of [Bizarre Hair] released for the Hair Fair 2013 that just started. The “Chandelier” hair comes with a full jewelry set as well to matc the amazing pearls that are part of the hair style. With a simple chat command you can even turn the candles on and off what adds a smooth warm light when the candels burn 😉

Last but not least I would like to drag your attention on the skin. Malicia Python, owner and designer of Silken Moon, made me a new tone of my Wicca skin *jumps around like crazy*. She already made me that wonderful Wicca skin, that I used to redo my whole avatar and now she made me a special version of my skin in her ‘lumee’ tone. I was telling her that I sometimes ywould like to have a very light and pale version of my skin, especally for fantasy or avantgarde stylings, that still carries my freckles and dimples and all my amazing face features. Since I really liked my new look without the eyebrows she made that incredble, beautiful looking new skin for me. Great news for all Silken Moon lovers and those, who own one of Malicia’s fantastic skins… Mal now made the new enhancement HUD for the SLINK mesh feets and mesh hands!

Lately I was asked so many times, how I found a skin that I am so happy with that I am not willing to change. The answer is easy… Malicia made me my custom skin with all those things I dreamed of on my personal skin. If I think back, how many lindens I spent for various skins and always I had one thing that I did not like… the idea of a custom made skin was the best idea ever. You can talk about your likings and develope a skin with your skin designer and make it so personal, that you not ever wanna change again, as it kinda becomes a part of yourself 😉 With the new addition of all those tattoo layers, you only need one basic skin, that you can wear always and add up all those amazing makeups that are out on the grid to make it match to every look 😉

But now.. time to leave for my LeeZu shift 😉

Louis Vuitton inspired with SoliDea FoliEs

July 16, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

As I got one of the latest releases from SoliDea FoliEs I immediately had to think about the last Louis Vuitton collection. With all the squares and colored versions of it I wanted to make soething according to that and with the “Twiggy” outfit I instantly has an idea for the pictures 😉 .

The “Twiggy” outfit of SoliDea FoliEs is based on black and white squares with some color accents. I chose the black version for this post but you can find other colors as well 😉 .

The whole outfit is mesh made and you have different sizes to make sure it fits your avatar.

The black bracelets are part of the outfit too. I looked at myself and I really wanted some hat of head pice that goes with the “Twiggy” outfit from SoliDea FoliEs. I searched through my inventory but I could not find any, so I stormed Kyra Camel’s IM. Kyra owns her own brand for female and male clothing, named Baboom and she made crazy head pieces before that she showed me in the past so I asked her if she could make me something squared with yellow accents. She showed me many of her creations and all of a sudden she pulled out a hat I fell immediately in love with. She retextured the hat to squares for me and I asked her if I can have that cute flower in a yellow tone that matches the yellow on the outfit. It just took her seconds to do that for me and on top she made me a matching clutch.

To bing back some yellow accents to my face as well, I remembered a tintable version of the “Dahlinka Wild-Zebra” makeup from Zibska.

A last look into the mirror and some yellow squared background and ready was the Louis Vuietton inspired imagination 😉

News by !:Lybra:! and PosESioN

July 16, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Today I have the great pleasure to showcase 2 new releases of 2 mazing brands. *PosESioN* and !:Lybra:!.

Lemme start with the incredible glasses.

(Picture by Dahriel; Models: Wicca, Dahriel, Absinthe)

*PoseESioN* made amazing glasses for the actual L’Accessories event. The “Idol” glasses come in 8 different colors, so what ever you wanna match with them, you will find the right color 😉

I would like to thank my sweet briother Dahriel for the opportunity to pose with the incedible Absi for the vendor of the “Idol” glasses 🙂 .

Now I would like to drag the attention to the amazing dress I am wearing. The greatest news on that one are… Lybra Rage is back! Formerly known from the brand House of Rage, where he was designing together with Topaz Joubert and LovelyMiwako7399 Menna. He now is back and opened his own brand !:Lybra:!.

I was totally amazed as he sent me one of his firt dresses called “Vex”.

The incredible short dress is a fireworks of textures and and stunning arrangement of mesh and prims. I love how the new mesh and the ‘older’ prims work together so well and give the dress some life. The flexible prims go so well with the mesh corset and I love the combination.

For the jewelry I took parts of the new “Bali” gown from Finesmith. The collar and the high waist belt went perfect with the “Vex” dress of !:Lybra:!. The “Rose” belt and collar are decorated with amazing roses at the sides and wonderful huge gemstones in the front and in the back.

The shoes are one of my favourites from [Diktator], the “Envy” stilettos. With their horns and spikes they made the perfect match for me to the rest of the styling 😉

To give the whole look a little more edges I used parts or the new “Insect” set that my sweet brother Dahriel made not too long ago, as I thought they go s nice with the tentacles of the “Idol” glasses 😉

A modern Snow White? A Second Life Fairytale

July 11, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

With all the remakes of old fairytales like Snow White and the Huntsman or Haensel & Gretel – Witchhunters, I came across the idea of a modern snowwhite.. maybe even a fashionista snowwhite*giggles*

The idea came with an outfit that I got from !dM – deviousMind. The “Pure Syn” out of the newest Fetish Couture Collection, The outfit can be purchased in different colors and as well in a ‘Duality Pack’ with 2 colors in it. The basic outfit is a supoer sexy mini dress with a latex texture that shows the texture skills from Chandra Meehan, genius designer behind !dM. Besides the amazing mini dress you have all this amazing pearls and apples, the wonderful ruffles for the shoulders, the glamurous train, the hair piece and on top the awesome snake and the snketatoo for the legs are as well part of the outfit. With all this parts and variations you really can make a few different looking outfits of the “Pure Syn” outfit.

For the picture I decided to wear the whiote version and Sazzy Nirpaw wears the red one. The handsome man, that Saz is offering her sweet apple is our well known Mr UK 2013, George McCartney.

I am very grateful that Saz and George said yes, when I asked them if they would join me for that shoot as it is way easier and way more nice to built up a scenery with more than one person somtimes.

For the location I came across the idea of a dark forrest, mystical and not too many colors with a crypta and some matching sculptures. Saz is an amazing builder and inbetween seconds she rezzed a wonderful snowy dark forrest and I just aaded the crypta and the sculptures.

Even if it is an abstract imagination I couldnot get rid of the idea of a modern fashionista Snow White and George made an awesome hansome to safe the girls :p .

Details (for my styling for George’s and Saz’s you might wanna ask them 😉 )

New “Swag Casual” pose set at Wicca’s Wardrobe!

July 9, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Sometimes I fall into my Rockabilly mood and then I love the boyish jeans & tank top look. A few days ago it was time again, to try my inventory for exactly that look :p.

I wanted to use some of my older stuff and show, that this can be still cool even if it is not all brand new 😉

The shirt is one of my first Maitreya shirts and I never found a better tank top for such purposes. The jeans are one of my long time favourites from LeeZu and the shirt that’s wrapped around my waist is that old that Coco now has it as a discounted item*giggles*. The only thing what is really new are the shoes, and that is just because I so fell in love with them.

The new look inspired me to make a new pose set called “Swag Casual”

The need of swag looking poses and as well the desire of some poses that look cool and with a light imagination of movement.

Wicca’s Wardrobe: Torn

July 3, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Sometimes you just do not know where to go or what to do, you feel torn inside and you only see darkness. Sometimes your inner only feels like a big fight and you have no clue how to escape.

Sometimes it it hard to find words to describe what you wanna say. And I tried to find words for this post and they just did not wanna flow. A close friend of mine, who is way better with words and who knows me very well wrote something for me after i showed her the pics and gave her a lot of single words and emotions and I would like to share it as it really expresses, what I only could say with pictures. Thank you Mal for finding the right words for me, for knowing me and understanding me even without any words sometimes.

Torn

I am alive – though I am dead

I am over you – though you bury me

I am me – though I am no one

I survive – though I die each day

I am strong – though I feel I will break any minute

I am you – though I don’t know who you are

I am here – though I don’t know where

I am understood – though you don’t know what I am talking about

I wanna enjoy – though I don’t know fun anymore

I miss you – though I never know who you were

I am lonely – though there are crowds around me

I am dead – though I still move

I submit – though you are not worth it

I am all – though I cant cope

I will die – though I wanna live

I am weak – though I can do all I want

I am me – though I am lost

I am there – though I don’t know where

I am a riddle – though it would be so easy

I wanna think – though I get stuck

I am happy – though I should not be

I am – though I am not

Redneck at Work – My first male pose set!

July 2, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Making this set really was fun 🙂 . It did not expect myself doing males poses so fast but when GeorgeMcCartneym Mr UK 2013, find his way into my IMs, I could not resist, after he told me what he would need. He told me the upcoming challenge for MVW 2014 was Sexy Farmer. That sounded kinda tempting to me *giggles* and when I saw his styling, my jaw just dropped on the desk.

While I tried to get my mind together again, he told me that he looked already for poses, but that the most of them were not ‘male’ enough or did not feature the pitchfork right. So even if I refused to make custom poses, I thought this kinda still meets my vision of the ‘Poses for Purposes’ since the pitchfork was a real purpose :p

I am sure there is other purposes for that poses as well and you can carry different tools with that just the pitchfork 😉

For the styling you wanna approach GeorgeMcCartney and if you wanna give the new poses a try just take the Taxi to my sweet little Mainstore 😉 (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/New/240/183/22)
