Wicca’s Wardrobe: How to not get broke?!?

ShoeFair 2013 Full

Shoes Fair… Hair Fair… Sales… lately it is not really easy to not get broke*laughs*

Today I would like to show you a mixture of all of those amazing events πŸ˜‰

ShoeFair 2013 Full 02

Maitreya had a huge sale going on for their 3rd anniversary and I did not wanna miss that one. Just imagine all the amazing clothes, hair and shoes for up to 50% off.. unbeliveable! I was shopping like mad and it would really let a single post explode, so I decided to go one by one πŸ˜‰ For today I chose the “Leather Skinny Pants” in pearl. What I liked a lot, are the zippers that are on the upper thigh and the amazing shadow and light arangment that give those mesh pants an amzing realistic look.

The top comes from House of Fox. It was one of the Colabor88 contributions and I loved the puffy sleeves and the simplicity of the whole top.

ShoeFair 2013 close

The “Kelsey” shoes are one of thge exlusive contributions ofΒ  Latreia, for the Shoe Fair 2013.Β  What really caught my eyes was the awesome way that the shoes were textured. The muted black basic and the wonderful and destiled skin of the bare feet. The heels as well are something special andnot the usual shape that you find all over the grid. So

The hair is one of the lastest releases from EMO-tions for the Hair Fair 2013, where 30% of all the sells goes to the Wigs for Kids charity. The cool “Sidney” hair style totally is something that fity my style. The smart wisps that go down int o the face and the shaved sides that even have ornamnts in them.

The jewelry is one of the lastes releases of Finesmith. The “Lika” set normally comes with a dress called “Fakaza” and it was available st the Gypset Market.

The amazing nailpolish, that goes s wonderful withthe SLINK enhancment hands comes from Silken Moon. Malicia Python, owner and designer of Silken Moon, spent half of the last week to make nearly 100 new nail polishes for the SLINK mesh hands! From colorful to muted, from wild to sweet and some very special ones with extravagant ornaments on them.Β  I used for this post the tartan nails. Who ever is so crazy and makes a tartan lookng nailpolish in several colors? Mal does… and she made, beside s huge color pack that contains all colors you just can imagine, some very neat and fun looking nails πŸ˜‰

So with all that great news and events going on… you tell me how you can be safe from getting broke?!?

Summer Feelings in Second Life

Prism & HairFair Full

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 .

Prism & HairFair Half

The dress has a white basic with wonderful floral ornaments and a black, lightly ruffled top end.Β  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.Β  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 πŸ˜‰ .

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.

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

Swag Casual

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 πŸ˜‰

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”

WM - Poses - Swag Casual Set

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

“Strong Enough”

God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I’d be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man? Nothing’s true and nothing’s right
So let me be alone tonight
Cause you can’t change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I’ll believe
Lie to me
But please don’t leave

I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
It’s try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man?

When I’ve shown you that I just don’t care
When I’m throwing punches in the air
When I’m broken down and I can’t stand
Will you be strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I’ll believe
Lie to me
But please don’t leave

Wicca’s Wardrobe: LOTD 03/17/2013 – After the Gig…

Mow+Silken Moon Half

Sometimes you just fool around with your clothes and have no direction where it will go to. This happened again to me today. I anyways wanted to sort my inventory and see all the still boxed clothes I got and all of those mystical boxes that have weird names and I cannot remember what they contained :p Such days as well mean you will be able to make your inventory less heavy, as you delete old stuffs or stuff that you maybe never wear again for what ever reason πŸ™‚

All of a sudden I remembered this amazingΒ  “Knotted Jeans” from M.o.w. I put them on and slowly a look sneaked in my mind. The cool rock chic, with her bleached hair and the dark makeup. She finished her gig with her band, where she is the singer. She did not wanna go back to the hotel by bus and decided to walk home to enjoy the wonderful spring night.

Mow+Silken Moon Full

She still was wearing her white tank top from Maitreya, with she was singing her last song on stage. As it was a little wet still from sweating, the nights not yet so warm, she put on her black “Open Sweater” to not get a cold, as she had more gigs to come this week. Because of the same reason she decided to put on her “Long Scarf” from Maitreya, that she got a long time ago and that squired her, since she started to sing in bands.

Her old, worn “Triumph Boots” from [GOS] are her talisman for so long and you can see that, as the leather looks used and the sleeves that hang down are a little more grey than they should be πŸ˜‰

Her hair style got the name “Sarina”, and she remembered how much fun she has as she was at EMO-tions, one of her hair stylists and they as well gave her the “Bruce” earring for her left ear, after they pulled most of her hair to the right side and shaved parts of the left to give her a cool look for the stage.

As Mirja Mills was done with her hair, Malicia Python, chief makeup artist of Silken Moon, was already waiting. She painted this awesome eyeliner around her eyes, added one more line on each side – one up and the other below and colored her lips in a deep black before she added some glitter round the eyes in opposite to the two extra black lines and some on her cheeks. It really felt great, like always to be prepared instead of doing all by yourself πŸ˜‰

After this amazing walk through the night, where her mind was drifting away, she reached her hotel. She took another dep breath of the wonderful night air, before she entered the front door of the hotel.

Silken Moon – Eclipse Urban

8555681584_8565883b7e_b

Over the last week, Malicia Python, owner and designer of Silken Moon, and me had a lot of fun working on new vendor pictures for her store.

For some strange reason, SL did not let Malicia shoot clean snapshots and so I said, I could do the snaps. The artwork and putting all of those together, Malicia with her incredible Photoshop knowledge, was the way better idea πŸ˜‰ I really enjoyed the time we spend on all those stylings and snapshots.

It was really challenging to style the different looks of the new “Eclipse” line. The first one was the “Urban Look”. Each look has something special and its own makeup color theme. For the “Urban” look I decided to go with the “Urban Asphalt” lips and a combination of the “Urban ES Harbour”, the “Soft Eye Sky” and the “Color Eye Silver” eye makeup from the new Eclipse line. If you take a close look you can see the love for the detail, that Malicia puts in each of her skins – like the right eyebrow is lightly shaved in a very cool way πŸ˜‰

For the look, Malicia wanted something urban, grunge casual. The tank top from Maitreya together with theΒ  jacket from AOHAROU and jeans from Phoenix Rising made a smart cool look. The “Douche” hair and the mesh boots from Dirty Lynx made the perfect finish for the whole look.

For this pics we used the bisque tone of the skin, but on the vendor picture at the end of this post you can see all the amazing tones and the special colored version as well.

Casual Fever with M.o.w, *PosESioN* & In-Pose

Mow 001a

Sometimes I catch myself with a very casual mood – Yes, not that often but sometimes it just happens πŸ˜‰ This time it was Dahriel, who made me go pink and white… I catched him at our platform, where we both have our photo studios and he was wearing pink and white and I remembered, that I have something similar from M.o.w. If you wanna see the details of Dahriel‘s styling just take a look at his post (https://wiccamerlin.de/?p=10635) He just finished one of his new couple poses for *PosESioN* – his amazing pose store – and so he snapped a quick picture of me and him with the new “YAY!” pose πŸ™‚ After I was playing with the snapshot in PS for a while, I decided to make it the opener picture for this post as it turned out so nice πŸ˜‰

Mow 002

Now I would like to take a closer look on my own styling for this post. Like I said before the basic for the whole outfit are the amazing creations of M.o.w. The “Utopia Jeans” and the “Unisex Armwarmers” in white are from M.o.w. For the top I just added an old tank top from Maitreya. Now for some shoes… according to the sporty casual outfit I tried sneakers and chucks and what not and all I tried did not really satisfy me… I needed some contrast! All of a sudden I came across the “British Lofers” from Redgrave and they made the perfect contrast for the special look πŸ˜‰ The huge necklace is the “Hannya” one from Mandala, one of my long time favourites. The hair comes from LeLutka and is called “Cheryl”.

Mow 004

The skin is one of the latest releases from Silken Moon. The “Eclipse Lumee” skin is a very light skin, with amazing relistic details, amazing lights and shadows, this special, mystical and very light glow and it went perfect with the darkblonde/pink hair. I just added some makeup out of the new “Eclipse” line to give the eyes a little bit more accent and ready was the perfect look πŸ™‚ The “Lumee” skin tone is perfect for all the ones who like the very light and pale high fashion look.

in-pose - fever

For all the poses – except the very first one – I used a brand new set from Trinity Graves, owner and designer of In-Pose. The new “Fever” set is just as crazy as I am and that is why I liked it so much from the very first moment she sent it to me πŸ˜‰

I hope you liked my short casual and very pink trip… while I am writing this and look at the pics I cannot even belive that I did this on a free will*giggles*… me casual and then even in white and pink… scandalous πŸ˜‰ I guess I need to rest in my wonderful couch chair for a bit and calm down, while I think what was in my coffee yesterday morning that I see my self in pink, white and blonde :p

Etchaflech & Voluptia featured in the Maniera Magazine

ManieraModels_CorsetFeature_LovelyMiwako7399 Menna_December12_Lineup_v3

For the actual Maniera Magazine December 2012 (http://manierasl.mymaniera.com/) I had the great honor to be featured in a wonderful fashion spread of Lovely Miwako. She made a special corset themed article about how different corsets can look.

We all got sent different corsets from Etchaflesh and Voluptia and Lovely asked us to style them in a vintage non typical lingerie manner. As well she wanted us all to choose one tattoo that we wear through the whole spread.

ManieraModels_CorsetFeature_LovelyMiwako7399 Menna_December12_02

For the first picture Lovely placed me on the floor besides SterlingZen. The corset I was wearing for this picture came from Voluptia and everyone that knows me… I am a corset addicted even in RL, so to style the corset in a non lingerie way for me was like if you tell me I just won in a lottery *grins*

I love a lot the different vontage stylings from the 50’s to the 80’s ( it still scares me that 80’s are called vintage now too^^) and so I was going for my favourite urban look as well with the heavy boots and the tattoos and some fishnet stockings and torned stockings. The huge glasses and the pinup hair added the perfect finish for the look in my view.

ManieraModels_CorsetFeature_LovelyMiwako7399 Menna_December12_05

On this picture, I had the great pleaure to be with Katherine Comet a wonderful and classy Lady that shines at my side with a wonderful corset styling that reminded me a lot on the old racing pinups I saw so many times on that collectable retro/vintage, metal signs from coke or even others… not sure how they are called in english, mostly you find them in bars πŸ™‚

For the second look I was given the corset and the sneaker boots from Etchaflech. I added the neck corset as well from Etchaflesh, pantys and garterbelt from Maitreya.

Lovely did an amazing job in putting different ladies, diffrent looks and attitudes together to show a wide range of what corsets can do… weither of elgant, grunge, rocker, lingerie, vintage or burlesque… as different as we ladies are as different corsets can be used for anykind of styling, that you can think of πŸ™‚

Wicca’s Wardrobe: Scary Story

A pretty woman was serving a life sentence in prison for murder. Angry and resentful about her situation, she decided that she couldn’t spend her life in prison. She began plotting ways to escape from the jail.

She became good friends with one of the prison caretakers. His job was to bury any prisoners who died, in a graveyard just outside the prison walls. Whenever a prisoner died, the caretaker rang a bell, which was heard by all of the prison inmates. The caretaker then got the body and put it in a casket. Next, he entered his office to fill out the death certificate before returning to the casket to nail the lid shut. Finally, he put the casket on a wagon to take it to the graveyard and bury it.

Knowing this routine, the woman devised an escape plan and shared it with the caretaker. The next time the bell rang, the woman would leave her cell and sneak into the dark room where the coffins were kept.

She would slip into the coffin with the dead body while the caretaker was filling out the death certificate. When the caretaker returned, he would nail the lid shut and take the coffin outside the prison with the woman in the coffin along with the dead body. He would then bury the coffin.

The woman knew there would be enough air for her to breathe until later in the evening when the caretaker would return to the graveyard under cover of darkness, dig up the coffin, and set her free.

The caretaker was reluctant to go along with this plan, but since he and the woman had become good friends over the years, he agreed to do it. The woman waited several weeks for one of the other prison inmates to die.

One night, she was asleep in her cell when she heard the death bell ringing. She got up, picked the lock of her cell, and slowly walked down the hallway. She was nearly caught a couple of times. Her heart was beating fast.

She opened the door to the darkened room where the coffins were kept. Quietly in the dark, she found the coffin that contained the dead body, carefully climbed into it and pulled the lid shut to wait for the caretaker to come and nail the lid down.

Soon she heard footsteps and the pounding of the hammer and nails. Even though she was very uncomfortable in the coffin with the dead body beneath her, she knew that with each nail she was one step closer to freedom.

The coffin was lifted onto the wagon and taken outside to the graveyard. She could feel the coffin being lowered into the ground. She didn’t make a sound as the coffin hit the bottom of the grave with a thud.

Finally she heard the dirt dropping onto the top of the wooden coffin, and she knew that it was only a matter of time until she would be free at last. After several minutes of absolute silence, she began to chuckle quietly to herself.

Feeling curious, she decided to light a match to find out the identity of the dead prisoner beside her. To her horror, she discovered that she was lying on top of the dead caretaker.
