As promised I come to you with another great gift at the SL18B – The “Beercorner” from DRD, with some great news from AsteroidBox and CerberusXing at Kustom 9 and the latest release from .:E.A.Studio:., which will come to the new round of Kinky at the 28th of June!

The Beercorner from DRD contains 2 different chairs, an awesome table and something to put on exactly that table *winks*. Believe it or not it is a free gift at the SL18B Shop & Hop from DRD!

The kick ass, cool top comes from AsteroidBox. “There are 16 color options available, with each purchase including 15 under shirt options, 13 strap options and 4 metal detail options. Fatpack includes all color options, with the option to change the main shirt and under shirt individually, allowing for mix and match styling. ” to quote the press release from AsteroidBox.

The cool earrings you will find at the upcoming round of Kinky, made by Eclipse Art Studio. The earrings are rigged for both versions of the LeLutka EvoX ears and can be worn as linked set, or left and right separate.

Last but not least, the cool pants are made by CerberusXing. They are not just pants… first of all they do have a great latex shine and second, they do have a gradient in their colors plus the lower legs get transparent the lighter they become! A real must have for my wardrobe and not the last time I will have used them for my pictures, especially since I saw there is a matching top at the Warehouse Sale for this round *grins*

Since I got asked so often lately… The direct SURLs are hidden under the colored credits, either under the designers names or the events that are listed behind 😉

Do you know the power of your fear?

As promised I am back with some amazing news of the SL18B Shop & Hop, some awesome news by L’Emporio at the Man Cave event and an incredible new release from Black Cat Creations.

cinphul comes to the SL18B with an amazing new release and a matching gift to the event. They complete the “salacia collection”, which was started a while ago with the amazing salacia crown. For the event they released the incredible salacia shoulder epaulettes, which are 20% off during the event only while the super cool salacia necklace and the salacia belt are generous gifts at the same event! Both, the new release and the gift, do come with HUDs to make an optimal match for all parts of the collection.

The extraordinary ears are the latest release from L’Emporio at the Man Cave event. With a huge HUD you can customize the jewelry and the tattoo. You as well have the option of 2 sizes for male and female and one unrigged pair, as well as the choice to have both ears linked or attached separate.

The body tight snake is one of the latest releases from Black Cat Creations. It does come in several sizes for the female bodies and does have a HUD to recolor the snake and its eyes. With the fatpack you as well get a special albino version of the snake.

If you are looking for special and high quality fantasy tattoos you certainly have to go and take a look at the Nefekalum Tattoos Mainstore. The very cool black head tattoo was one of their latest releases and the amazing body tattoo is something you cannot skip if you are looking for a scaled looking style. Both coming  – as usual – with materials you can apply via HUD.

Angels & Demons – Part 2

Angels & Demons

What would you choose? Who would you become? Would you rather be enchanted or consumed by Heaven or Hell, Light or Dark, Good or Evil, Love or Hate, or to be Blessed or Cursed. Angels and Demons are polar opposites of one another within many cultures and in fiction. On one hand, they are a form of symbology and on the other they are seen in religion, mythology, and fantasy. Magical and mystical beings that we will read find in books, movies,movies, TV, anime or plays from ancient to modern. Even within the confines of real life and Second Life, we will roleplay and become one of them.

Despite the difference in abilities and the cultural milieu they come from, they share some similarities, such as, hierarchical ranks, miraculous or magical powers, and the enmities and friendships with each other and with mortals. Though Angels and Demons are often in a never-ending battle to defeat the other, in that chaos comes a little spark: opposites, suddenly attracted to or obsessed  with each other. Will they escape and find peace or be consumed by their conflict?

Their appearances can differ, both taking on ugly, distorted, fear-inducing manifestations, or transforming into beautiful, ethereal and alluring personas. Angels usually are depicted with long, modest, feather-like flowing garments, while a Demons attire is often tight, conforming to every curve or their form making it matter little how much or how little clothing they wear.. Although in the more modern age and flight of fantasy, anything goes, the color palettes don’t often change. Angels decorated in white and softened colors and pastels signifying purity and innocence, guiding you on your travels, while the Demons adorn black and deep, rich colors, warning you to watch where you tread, but do you want to? Will they draw you into the darkness forever lost in their grasp.

Dreams, sensations you prove
Are taken from nature
You find those emotions are true in your mind
Fight against the kingdom of fear
Sooner or later they’ll try to convince you are wrong
But I’m sure,
We’re just
Crawling angels and demons disguised
The truth you don’t know so try to be sure
When your angels and demons arise
Face the truth, God is not love!
Feel as fluid as life,
Love is a rainbow
As much as it seems to be real
It’s all in your mind

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don’t just say

Never cared for what they know

OMG… I made it into cinphul’s blogger team!!! For those who know me you might imagine what honor that was for me. I love cinphul and not only blogged them once before. I am a fan for years 🙂 Their dark and special view of “life” are right down my alley – I love the unusual and if it goes dark, creepy and sexy I am all for it!

Today for my first official cinphul post I want to highlight a few of their amazing designs. First of all the amazing “STQ [armor + boots set”, an amazing set of  3 parts to wear – rigged boots for Maitreya, Kupra/Lups, Legacy (male & female), Signature Alice/Gianni/Geralt, Belleza Freya/Jake and Slink Original/Hourglass/Male and 2 unrigged parts for the shoulders and the waist, which you can resize to your needs. As well in the pack you will find a 5 Color Texture HUD.

I truly love the shape and textures a lot, the first imagination I had, was the Xenomorph Alien made by H.R. Giger. I adore the Giger art, so it was no wonder that I fell in love with that amazing set from cinphul, which could easily fit into one of the Alien movies as a costume. Certainly I had to do a picture in that style as an homage to H.R. Giger as well as a tribute to cinphul 😉

For the picture I used more than just that amazing armor set from cinphul… that cool “temperance mask” as well was made by cinphul  – I got it last year on the Cyberfair – I just could not pass it by. That incredible details in the mesh and on the textures caught my heart in the moment I saw it. For the most part of the my scene I used a cinphul creation as well. It is a newer release called “azrexok” and I found it at one of the weekend sales recently and certainly had to get it. It contains two different pieces which you can resize or recolor with the HUD to red, black or silver. Since it is a new release you can find it now at the main store as well, just at the full price again 😉

cinphul has so much more to showcase and I am working on their newest release for the ACCESS Cyberfair at the moment – you will be amazed how incredible cool cinphul interprets the cyber genre as well!
