Miamai – A special dress for a special cause!!!

Monica Outlander:

“What happens when you ask a five year old self ordained Princess “What’s your dream gown, Raven?” Well of course you get the response of “PINK AND SPARKLY AND HEARTS AND PINK AND BUTTERFLIES AND MORE PINK AND BALLERINNAAAAAA!”
Luckily I’m *also* deep down a five year old self ordained Princess really, and my favourite things also happen to be pinksparklyheartybutterflyeyballerina stuff too. And so Raven Sparklefairy ordained that this gown be created, and who am I to argue with royalty? I hope that the little girl inside you gets as big a thrill out of this dress as we both did.

The Raven Sparklefairy gown was also made as a special 100% fundraising item to the Extend A Helping Hand charity now happening; this wonderful event run by Sanura Sakai is providing immediate disaster relief to the victims of the floods that are currently devastating Queensland in Australia.

Why am I involved? There is a family in Australia that have adopted me through Second Life, through a beloved friend of mine and although they aren’t anywhere near the affected state, they are still saddened by the news. And there isn’t a better way to cheer up a little girl than to make her dreams come to life, especially when those dreams result in one of the cheeriest things I’ve ever made.
At the moment Raven Sparklefairy – named after the little girl and her title – is only available at the EAHH location, but afterwards will be added to the permanent Black Label designs at Miamai.
Because the Princess demands it.”

Showreview: BOSL Fashion Week – Avantgarde

Today I was allowed to walk another show of the great BOSL Fashion Week. The theme was Avantgarde and again the BLVD Models had to style their own vision of avantgarde… but we as well had a premiere… our Editorial Clarity-Flux dared to walk the runway for his very first time :p For sure I had to ask him and his beloved husband RicoRacer Flux-Clarity if the would pose with me for my blog post opener pic and… they said yes!!! The result is the pic above! *happy dance* What a feeling between such great styled guys!!!

Ok Wicca… stop drooling… back to work… *coughs*

Again, as in the ‘Virtual Super Heroes’ show the BLVD Models had the freedom to style as they please to show off their very own vision of avantgarde. It was a hard decision and I made way more looks than this one… but this was the one that in the end, wich I was wearing on the runway 🙂

I started with one of the new designs of the latest Miamai Black Label line – “Ungud” out f the Chod Collection. The big sleeves that cover the hands and the huge neck collar got my attention as I saw it the first time. Then I remembered the wonderful “Caged Birds Skirt” made by Faster Pussycat. I just change the color of the pigeons a bit 🙂 We got eyeshadow from blackliquid and I added my longtime favourite lace tattoo from Obscure. The boots as well are from Miamai and the amazing headpieces I found at Lode. For jewelry I chose parts of the “Noir” collection of Finesmith Designs.

The show was great fun aI would like to thank all the people of the BLVD family who made this incredible show possible 🙂

Finesmith Designs – “Lovely” News

Finesmith Designs released a lot of new jewelry lately what again shows that yula Finesmith really is a hard working woman 🙂 For her, even if she releases a lot of new stuff, quality is always very important and you can see how much time and love for the detail she puts in each and every part of her creations. today I would like to show you the new “Lovely” set…

This set again has some really interesting parts. Yula always has different parts in her sets, so you not always getting just a pair of earrings and a necklace.. and mostly she sells the parts single so you can choose wich parts you like or need 🙂 For the “Lovely” set you have earrings, necklace, one bangles, one ring and this amazing eye parts the look kinda lashes with sweet little gemstones at the inner sides of the eyes.

For the outfits I mixed a few old time favourites of mine, like the “Cat Thighs”in red from LeeZu and a short primskirt from Cipher called “Chick”, mixed with the new “No!r” jacked from E-Clipse. The hair is one of the older styled from Miamai called “Anna Bun”

I only can highly recommend that you take a look at the wonderful new Finesmith Designs Mainstore and see by yourself all of the amazing new releases yula Finesmith created 🙂

Exciting News at Mea Culpa – A special new line at the Mainstore!

Tatanka Kaligawa designed a new line for his store with very daring and extravagant designs – the X – Treme line. Fabrics like latex and vinyl show their fashionable side 😉 “Time Warp” is one of the new collection at Mea Culpa and the one I wanna write about today 🙂 As you can see in the pic above the basic of the gown is a latex fabric. With all this great lightening it really gets a very realistic touch what is usually not that easy to make in SL. All the silver and metal parts make a very cool and modern look for the whole outfit. What caught my eyes is all this great attachment parts… the awesome curled spikes that go from the waist to the sides and again they are part of the head piece, the crossed belt, the flexible skirt parts that repeat in the head part and the ankle parts. The gown comes as well with a great steel collar that fits perfect to the whole design 🙂 For the shoes, I chose one pair of the lates shoe release at Mea Culpa as well… they are called “Trex” and I already had them in one of my older posts :)They just perfect matched the black and metal style for me 🙂

“Time Warp” is not the only new design of the new collection so stay tuned… more is coming 😉

Nostalgic Romance with LeeZu :)

Lately I came across an outfit, that I really forgot about. As I pulled it from the deepest corner of my wardrobe I realized how pretty it is and just got it on again…

I kinda fell in a nostalgic mood as I turned my self in front of the mirror as I was wearing the “Maita” outfit from LeeZu. It was one of my very first outfits from LeeZu and if I remember correctly it is not available anymore. It is out of the “Revolution Series”. To staying my nostalgic mood I pulled out one of the older Miamai hairstyles called “Anna Bun” in red with the black bow and some boots from Hoorenbeek that are kinda all time favourites for me. The “Lucille” boots in dark brown for me made the perfect addition to this outfit.

Sometimes it is really sad, that you forget about those little jewels that you have sitting in your inventory as you always get and buy new stuff…
I guess I will now more often look in the back part of my wardrobe to remind my self what great outfits are there and just collect dust and totally do not deserve that 😉

Can swimwear be avantgarde or couture? – Mad Diva shows it!!!

I never thought about that it would be possible to wear a bikini and still show my love and addiction to the extraordinary fashion 😉 Kalyabreeaa Capelo showed me different. She made a bikini, named “Yula” that totally will be my choice for the upcoming summer season!

The whole “Yula” bikini is made of prims, no clothing layers at all but it covers all needed parts 😉 The basic color is a mixture of black metal and red… again a plus as that are my favourite colors as well 😉 For the shoulder ring you can decide between a straight one like I am wearing for the pics, that goes around both shoulders and then there is another version that more diagonal and lays on one shoulder higher than the other. Swimwear goes couture 🙂 I guess Kalybreeaa Capelo, designer of Mad Diva showed of in an incredible way that this os possible and very sexy as well 🙂 You really should make your way to the Mad Diva Mainstore and see by yourself how innovative and new all the designs are! Or you can watch the Claim the Fame shows on every Wednesday as well where Kalyabreeaa Capelo is one of the contestants as well and shows a male and female outfit every week 😉
