Maniera Casting: YAY! I made it :)

Last Week I had the pleasure to b allowed to come to the live casting of Maniera. Maniera was a dream for me for a long time and I was very happy, that I made it through the first round and was invited to the live castings.

Maniera always stood for some extraordinary for me. The magazine they do, always was made in high quality and the models who are working there are all wonderful girls and guys with a great sense of fashion and style.

The live casting had a very cool theme and it was told in a little story so that I would like to just steal the words off the NC I got from Katherine Comet (Yes, I asked her and I may use them she said. Thanks for that Kat 😉 )

“Theme:

Your talent agent has gotten you an audition to be a supporting role in a Jungle Safari Thriller movie as the sidekick assistant to the leading actor who is a Detective trying to solve the case of a missing person.  You’ve been told you would be carrying all of the detective’s paraphernalia but you have to look good doing it.  You really want to knock their socks off with your knowledge and incredible ability to look like you’ve “been there, done that.”  Your audition will take place on location, IN THE JUNGLE, so you have to be prepared.

You know you have to be practical; the bugs and animals are out in full force but have been told you may not use any prim material which covers your face!  You MUST get this job as your career depends on it.

How would you dress and be prepared for the perils of jungle life, but still look the part of the supporting role in this major movie production?  
      
You’ve been given the storyline and requirements; now roll with it, have fun and good luck!”

The challenge it self was great fun for me. I tried to slip into that role and thought about it very seriously.. about not having high heels walking through a jungle and carry stuff around, about all the bugs and little animals that would eat me up if my clothing would be too short and show too much skin… all that stuff. And while I was searching through my inventory all that old movies like Indiana Jones, Crocodile Dundee, The Mummy and many more came into my mind and slowly a look was born. Thanks to all of the judges that made one of my dreams come true and took me to Maniera as a proud Maniera Model 🙂

“Showgirl”

Today I would like to pull the focus on Faster Pussycat again. Honey Bender, owner and designer of Faster Pussycat, always stood for outstanding and extravagant fashion for me. I personally know her for a long time and I always adored her creativity and how she designs outside the box but still fashionable. The more I am happy  to have some of her creations again to blog 🙂

For this post we have the “Showgirl” outfit. A wonderful red combination of a high-waisted skirt and the little hearts at the cheat that allow a kinda topless sexy look that still has covered what it needs to 🙂 The cute little hat as well comes with the whole outfit. The “Showgirl” really kinda gets you the feeling of a vintage cabaret or even a burlesque touch comes up with it. The huge white roses necklace with the pearls round the neck are a wonderful addition to make this look complete.

For the shoes, I decided to wear one of the latest releases from [sys]. The “Vogue” ankle boots in black. The red version I had earlier this week on my blog already. The black version as well is made of fantastic made leather and the awesome silver steel plate heel. The black version does not have the huge spikes, instead you have this squared silver parts that decorate the front of the booties.

For the hair I chose on one the latest releases by Urban Lutz called “Yula” the touch of vintage paired with a modern look really made the finish for this style today 🙂

To see all of the incredible designs of Honey Bender, you better make your way to the Faster Pussycat Mainstore 🙂

A “Starry Night” with NV Corsetry…

Today I would like to showcase one of my favourites of NV Corsetry. Even if it is hard to pick as they have many amazing corsets and all are different. As I wrote, before NV Corsetry has different levels of corsets. The basic ones, some with an advanced look and some that come as full outfits. I would call the “Starry Night” corset one of the advanced ones. It is not just the basic corset, the white puffy part under the chest is part of the corset. I made myself the challenge to style a look around the “Starry Night” corset. I wanted to repeat the white puffy part of the chest, an elegant look and for some reason I always had a snow queen in my mind :) . Maybe it is the vanishing winter outside… idk ;) “Starry Night” is only one of the wide range of corsets that you can find at the NV Corsetry Mainstore (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Wicked%20Gear/116/118/22)

Wicca’s Wardrobe: LOTD 03/10/2012 – Corset Fun!

Today I wanted to do something non usual and funny, just to show that corsets are not only lingerie or something that cannot be worn in your everday life like I said before on my blog. I am a corset addicted in both lifes, RL and SL and so for sure I enjoy wearing them in both lifes. Before I discovered NV Corsetry the fun was not that big as not many really good-looking corsets were around that really looked realistic. NV Corsetry for me brought an awesome revolution for corsets. This corsets are no clothing layer they are actual prims that are scripted. With the scripts you are able to fit this corset to any kind of shape, anyways if tall or small, thin or curvy. The special scripts allow you to resize the corset in every direction… width, height and depth! For the first time you will maybe need sometime to figure the right sizes but if you once got, it is really easy. In case you need help and cannot figure it out on your own the owner and creator of this awesome corsets, Khurt Vhargon can help you remotely to make a perfect fit.

If you make your way to the NV Corsetry Mainstore( http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Wicked%20Gear/116/118/22), you will find a wide assortment of different corsets, from basic ones to complete outfits :)

Finesmith Muse 2012 – My Finale Styling

For the finale of the Finesmith Muse 2012 we got the theme to be a romantic princess… not my usual style but I tried my best 😉 I know it was some time that the finals were done, but my I wanted to have pictures done by my sweet little sister Falbala Fairey. With all the MVW 2012 she was so busy and I am very happy and grateful that she took time for me and this fantastic pictures. Thank you so much sissy they are fabulous and exact what I had in mind :), you made me look like a beautiful princess 😉

The description for the show we had to write on our own again and I got help from the wonderful Sweetest Sands. She is a wonderful person with a huge imagination and fantasy and awesome writing skills and a nother sister of mine. She wrote me a story that we just had to shorten lightly , so that it could be used during the show. I am very grateful that I have such an awesome support from people who I am allowed to call family 🙂

Story:

Many years ago in a far away land there lived an enchanted kingdom deep in the heart of a forest, where both fairies and humans lived together in harmony.  The King was a handsome strong and kind human man, and the Queen the most beautiful sparkling fairy ever seen before.  The Queen’s gift of her sparkle lit the kingdom brightly at night which was important as the all the trees would block the light from the moon and stars above.

The King and Queen lived many happy years together until one day the stars sent them the gift of a special daughter called Princess Wicca, who had the strength of her father, both the beauty and the sparkle of her mother.
One day a great storm befell the Kingdom and for many days the skies rained heavily and the sky the darkest shade of grey that Princess Wicca had ever seen before. The week before Princess Wicca’s birthday the storm had passed, but so too had her sparkle, as if it had been washed away by the rain drops.  The Princess looked everywhere she could but feared her sparkle had been lost forever. The King and Queen called upon all the humans and fairies to help to find the Princess’s sparkle before the twelve hour of the day of her birthday, in return they would reward the gift of as many Finesmith jewels as they could carry.

Everyone in the kingdom set out to find the Princess’s sparkle, with humans searching the land and fairies searching the sky in hopes of being the lucky one to find it.
From one nearby kingdom, a handsome charming Prince decided to join the search in hopes of being the winner.
Days passed and hopes of finding the lost sparkle of Princess Wicca began to seem but a distant dream and many stopped searching, but the Prince seemed determined not to give up searching even the smallest flowers and tallest trees.

The day of Princess Wicca’s birthday arrived but the joyful day had no meaning for her with the great loss of her sparkle.  She was wearing just a simple white gown from Tres Beau, ornamented with the “BlackBarbie” train and her favourite Finesmith jewelry. The “Winterflower” earrings, her “January” necklace, the “Kagami” ring she got from her father as she was born and a little “Snowflake” brooch. Her parents tried their best to give her hope even though there was but a few minutes from striking twelve.

As the Princess turned her head to look into the distance as the clock began to chime, she noticed a handsome man carrying a gold chest with a velvet ribbon tied around it walking towards her.  With bated breath she stood perfectly still with the great hopes of it being her lost sparkle.  The man knelt before her “Princess Wicca, it is with great honour I bestow upon you the return of you once lost precious sparkle.” And with that he placed the chest before her, eager to see it she pulled hard on the ribbon and lifted up the lid of the chest as fast as she could, and there before her very eyes was indeed her found sparkle of light.

The Princess danced around and around laughing out loud now reunited with her once lost sparkle, the Prince admired her beauty.  Both the King and Queen overwhelmed with joy presented the Prince as many jewels as he could carry and joined their daughter in the celebrations.

Beautiful, Breathtaking, Bewitching – “Betty”!!! News from Angel Dessous!

Stunning news from Angel Dessous… “Betty”. A wonderful and stunning lingerie set made by Nando Korbase, designer of Angel Dessous. Angel Dessous lately released a lot of gowns , couture outfits and casual ones and now again beautiful lingerie!

(Lingerie: Angel Dessous – “Betty” /raspberry, Model: Arisia Ashmoot, Photographer: Wicca Merlin, Poses: Body Talking)

As always “Betty” comes in many different colors and for this post I chose raspberry and noir. You always have an opaque and a sheer version if you purchase one color. Because of “PG” reasons I only have the opaque one here for now 😉

(Lingerie: Angel Dessous – “Betty” /noir, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin, Poses: Body Talking)

Also the black version is not a simple black and uni texture… lights and shadows make it to a very interesting texture that imagines folds. The seams are made of amazing, little lace parts. The stockings start with an opaque seam and go over into a stunning laced texture with sweet little dots… simply beautiful. The “Betty” outfit  comes as a full set  with bra, panties, gloves and stockings and as mentioned in a sheer version for every color also 🙂

If you make your way to the Angel Dessous Mainstore you can see all the other fantastic colors and find your favourite one to surprise your love 😉
