“Well, everything’s a lesson, isn’t it?”

TUNES

“There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, Dim being really dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar making up rassoodocks what to do with the evening, a flip dark chill winter bastard though dry. The Korova Milkbar was a milk-plus mesto, and you may, O my brothers, have forgotten what these mestos were like, things changing so skorry these days, and everybody very quick to forget, newspapers not being read much neither.”

[- Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange  -]

I do not know how that happened but when I was ready dressed, ,I instantly got a Clockwork Orange feeling. I do love that movie, but didn’t see it for along time. So when I sat down and started to post work those pictures I had to watch it again to get the right feeling for it *grins* That ideas obviously was the reason why I added the bloody bat to my look and put myself in that grunge backyard. I started with the super cool “Nova Overalls” outfit from AsteroidBox, when I realized that they as well do have new shoes that completely fit to that outfit. While I was playing with the huge HUD and all its possibilities (maaany different textures and as well you can hide the shirt!) I discovered the striped version and remembered, that I had gloves that had a stripe option as well from {PSYCHO:Byts}. Certainly I needed some finger bandages as well to get the cool side of the “droogies” look. While I was looking through my L’Emporio Folder for those finger bandages, I saw that they had so cool new releases as well and the hat totally fit into my look – the cool collar as well! If I had planned to mix and match so many of my favorite designers I never would have made it, but this time it fell into place so easily… I have no clue how that happened, but I love it!

As soon as I put on that mega amazing veil from Nefekalum Tattoos (yes – it really is a tattoo with materials!) I did know I have to find those sharp kinda trademark lashes, which Alex had on just one eye in the movie – I found that at Shiny Stuffs. sadly I could not apply it just to one eye, like it originally was on the left eye only.

It didn’t happen for a long time that the imagination for a picture or story came so fast to my mind, after putting on just the first 2 or 3 items and I really enjoyed my journey in the past with that movie again. I have to say it again seemed very up-to-date to our times at the moment if you get the essence of that movie – that felt kinda scary, but I do believe in the human race to not make the future as dark again as it was in the past!

“Loving the monsters always ends badly for the humans. It’s a rule.”

[- Laurell K. Hamilton -]

For the current issue of the Eclipse Magazine, again I was allowed to showcase a role play genre. My choice this time was Vampires. I wanted to cover the more traditional and vintage side of it as well as the modern one.

For the more traditional, Victorian one I had the great pleasure, to get some company from Vivien Delancoure. It is always fun to do picture with friends, but usually I just do not dare to ask, as sometimes I take ages until I have my final pose, shot and background. I hate to waste others peoples time. With Vivien it was different. She is a blogger as well, making wonderful pictures and creates most of her poses by herself – Just take a look at her Flickr HERE. So she knows how long it can take and that made me brave enough to ask her, if she would like to join me for a picture. Her style is usually goth-romantic or dark romantic, which already was perfect for what I was going for. She was so sweet and patient and made the whole shoot to a lot of fun combined with a lovely chitchat 😉 I have a feeling, that this will be not our last shoot together as it really was awesome to work with her.

Thank you Vivien, for your time, patience and a new growing friendship I do not want to miss again 😉

My style you can find – like usual – below this post. For Vivien’s look, just take a look at her blog HERE.

Breakfast at Mimi’s Choice – Part I

Breakfast @Mimis Orage Full

Lately I had the great pleasure to walk a show for .PENUMBRA.

The did an amazing show case of Mimi’s Choice. Mimi Juneau runs that amazing place and she has all of the great huge brands under her roof there. For the show I got 2 different outfits and the first I would like to showcase in this post.

The awesome “Leather Glam” mesh dress was made by [orage]. A short and tight dress with an amazing metal belt wich can be texture changed between gold and silver. The incredible jewelry was made by Belle Roussel, owner and designer of Chop Zuey. For this styling I took parts of the “Pentacostal Diamond” set. The huge bracelets is a miscture of 3 single attachments wich go wonderful together. For the necklace you have the option of a longer necklace of the short choker I am wearing for this post. The shoes I found at the last round of Collabor88 and the beautiful hair at Magika. For the sun glasses I chose one of my long time favourites from Steinwerk.

Cute Mesh News by Inga Wind Clothing

Lately Inga Wind Clothing started to sell new mesh designs. The combination of Inga’s high quality textures and awesome mesh prims really grabbed my attention. A few days ago I unpacked another one of Inga’s great new releases and immediately I had a funny scenery in mind… The “Patsy” outfit comes as a full ready to wear outfit with shoes. And the cute look of this outfit made me think about the sweet idea I had in mind. I asked Oralee if she could build a little set, about a funny painting scenery, like 2 girls try to have fun on a boring grey winter Sunday afternoon and decide to repaint they apartment. She was fast with her building and I again added some accessories to make the scene even more funny. In the end Oralee found some of those cool paper hats and paint tattoos on SL Marketplace and the scene was perfect. We really had a lot of fun doing this as you can see 😉 If you wanna grab the new “Petsy” outfit you just have to make your way to the Inga Wind Clothing Mainstore 🙂
