The “Lynxa”gown was made for Essence of Ebony 2012 contest and was worn by Miss Benin – Lynxa on the final day.
The original color – orange with yellow and green represents the country of Benin, and not only by the colors and fabrics, but with the style as well.
The hat is an inseparable part of a Benin folk dress and for Lynxa it has been especially crafted here in SL.
The real eye-catcher on this gown is the golden texture. Gold is, for sure, the hardest one to reproduce in SL, and Dani Plassitz, owner and designer of Styles by Danielle, has tried her best to make you shine like the sun.
Every detail of the dress is carefully put together. The front jewel and the back sheer fabric are modifiable for you to perfectly adjust it to your shape. The skirts attached to legs come with the special resizer that can resize in any direction. This is especially helpful if your av is very tall or very small.
The “Lynxa Gold” jewelry set that is made especially to complete this gown.
The rhombus and gems resemble the fabric design, and the gold shine is underlined by the texture itself.
The set is transferable and it consists of: necklace, two bracelets, earrings and the ring worn on the index finger.

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 🙂

House of Rage was holding a casting for new models for their staff. As I adore House of Rage for a while, I dared to enter the challenge 🙂 For the first round we got an outfit we had to style and do a picture from. That style I already posted a few ago 🙂 (http://wiccamerlin.wordpress.com/2012/02/13/wiccas-wardrobe-my-look-for-the-house-of-rage-casting/). We got the outfit at the House of Rage Mainstore and had to put our own touch to it with accessories. I really liked that idea as all have the same basics to begin with. As I was told that I made it with a few others to the next round I was happy like a child on christmas ;). For the finale round of the casting we were told to develop our own look with the wonderful creations of House of Rage. I went to the H.O.R. Mainstore and looked around a while, not really able to decide only one outfit. With my addiction to mix and match I came on the idea just to combine a few different outfits and make my own look out of it. As I arrived at the casting I really became nervous. I did not know if it was right to mix and match different H.O.R. outfits or if they wanted to see a full outfit only. I saw all the other contestants and they looked fabulous, that made me even more nervous :p
With my name for sure I again was last to walk out :). We first had to walk our styling of the first round and then in another walk the new one. At the end of the runway, Topaz and Lovely waited on us and we had a short interview at the end of our second walk. Both were very nice and kind and made it easier for us and as well they took some of my nervousness :).
A few days later we got the result on a wonderful picture (the one I started the post with), a really nice idea to show results of a casting 🙂
Thank you so much Topaz, Lovely, Lybra and Nox for making a dream come true and be a part of House of Rage 🙂

We all know the awesomeness and problems of the new mesh clothing in SL 🙂 Many designers already released mesh clothing and it really is a wonderful possibility to let the avatar look with certain clothes come more real. No more silly knee angles, no more skirts that fall trough chairs if you sit on. The idea of mesh really is a great revolution, even if there has to be done much more work on still.Everyone that uses one of the mesh featured SL viewers, can wear mesh.
Prism now released their first mesh dress as well. A wonderful short dress that can be used in all kind of stylings you can think of. I decided to go for a kinda Rockabilly styling, because I really liked that with that dress ;). Journey included 3 different sizes of the dress and 2 different alpha layers to make it fit better. For mesh you cannot anymore edit the prims, when you wear them, so that different sizes really make sense and with 3 options you pretty much have a good chance to make it fit your shape. For this post I used the “London Leather” version of “Adele” and I am sure if you make your way to the Prism Mainstore you will find many more amazing colors and versions of the “Adele” dress 🙂 Dare to wear mesh :p

I got the great opportunity to show you – right before the upcoming event (points above) – 2 of the new gowns of House of Rage, that are part of the “Evolution” line.
The first one would be “Lorna”. A wonderful, delicate and classy black shaded, high fashion gown.
The awesome detailed made feathers, are a special highlight on this gown. As you can see black has not to be black. All the great lights and shadows, show the ability of texturing and design that you will find in every outfit of the “Evolution” line. The feathers are dreamy flexible and you will turn heads if you walk this gown over the red carpet or any other event you choose to wear it 🙂
A perfect addition for this stunning evening gown were the new “Core” jewelry set from Finesmith Design the fresh and sharp edges and the pearls made a perfect finish for me 🙂
My second gown for today would be “Vila”…
“Vila” goes more in a sexy and couture direction, but even then you will see the high quality what this gown is made with. “Vila” is a mixture of so many different fabrics, that you have to take more then one look to discover all the amazing details. The corset is an opaque, tight black basic. If you zoom closer, you can see the amazing ornaments that decorate even the corset.
The bodice is made of beautiful lace and the sheer character adds a very sexy and young, modern touch. The skirt, as well a sheer fabric glimmers and sparkles in an awesome way. As additional decoration you have a wonderful lace prim for the right shoulder and the head also. For this amazing dress I chose as well one of the latest releases from Finesmith Design, called “Optimism”. Yula Finesmith released 7 pairs of earrings a few days ago and yesterday the matching necklaces… so run and see them all at the Mainstore 😉
To see more of the incredible and georgious new designs of the H.O.R. “Evolution” line you should make your way to the upcoming event at 4PM, as well as to the House of Rage Mainstore, where you can find many many other wonderful designs of the 3 amazing ladies Lybra Rage, Topaz Joubert and LovelyMiwako7399 Menna.
See you at 4PM… 😉
