LOTD 04/24/2014 – Alone…

April 25, 2014 by Wicca Merlin

No more I’m taking this hatred from you
You make me feel dead when I’m talking to you
You take me for granted when I’m not around
So burn down your bridges ’cause I’m not going down

This time I will be heard
I’m not gonna burn
It’s funny how the table, how the table turns

I hope you’re unhappy and hurting inside
I want you to choke when you swallow your pride
Lay in your coffin and sleep with your sins
Give me the nails and I’ll hammer them in right now

This time you won’t be heard
You are gonna burn
It’s funny how the table, how the table turns

You fake your damnation
You pray for salvation
’cause your heart is made of stone
You can die and rot alone
You can die and rot alone

Just die and rot alone

This time you won’t be heard

[Bullet for my Valentine]

The other Me…

January 12, 2014 by Wicca Merlin

I have seen another sky
I have climbed another tree
I have wished another star,
above another star lit sea

Another me lives another life,
I’ve always dreamed
Another me exists somewhere
Why can’t I live that life there?
Please let me be … the other me

And I have seen another sunrise,
and another lightning storm
I’m not just the me you see
You see another me was born

Another me lives another life,
I’ve always dreamed
Another me exists somewhere
Why can’t I live that life there?
Please let me be … the other me

Somewhere I’m happy
I’m smiled at understood
In another Place I lift my face,
not hide it in a hood

[Lyrics by Jim Sturgess]

First of all I would like to thank Malicia for the time and the base idea for this pictures. She came up with the mirror idea and as well donated her mirror to the shooting 😉

We both wearing the newest gown release of LeeZu. The “Saphire” gown is a fully mesh made gown. It is available in many different colors but for the post we had to choose 2 and so we decided to go with plum for me and black for Malicia. The wonderful shoulder piece is to add single so you can even decide to go with or without it. As well part of the outfit the little hat is. The amazing little hat with the tentacles just adds the little extra elegant and couture touch.

The jewelry I chose to wear is made by Lazuri for the MVW 2014 contest. The “MVW 2014 Eva Luxury” set is an amazing set containing 2 types of earrings, bracelets, rings and a wonderful necklace made of 3 parts wich gives you the option to wear it in 3 different ways. As for all the amazing Lazuri jewelry the set is menu driven and you can recolor all parts to kinda customize the set to your likings and needs.

For the poses we needed some mirrored ones. For a long time I asked myself,why some pose makers made these and the only reason I could think of was, that you carry something in your hand that might be on the wrong side for the pose. But today I discovered, that they can be very useful if you want to do pictures like that as well 😉 So i went with poses from *PosESioN* and Morgane Batista.

The shoot and preparing was fun and I hope Mal will be with me for some more posts in the future 😉 It is rare if you meet people, that you go along so well and SecondLife gifted me a wonderful friend not only in SL anymore. Thank you Mal, for believing in me and being such an amazing friend for me in both worlds 🙂 .

On my Way to a Mad Hatter Party with my new hat from Natzuka

December 30, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Lately I talked to Natzuka and after some time we came across her store. She usually sells poses and makeups. She made some outfits in the past as well but she told me as well she found her way into nice and cute accessories now too. She showed me her new “Moka Hat” and I totally fell in love.

The cute purple and pink toned hat really comes with such amazing little details that make it an art piece itself. The little cup, the amazing sweets and flowers… you nearly get the imagination you just have to grab it and taste it 😉 The soft feathers that fall down on your face add a lightly elegant touch to that overall playfully and funky looking hat.

What else it needs for a cool Mad Hatter party outfit? A cool and crazy look that goes with that amazing “Moka Hat”.

I decided to go with one of the latest releases from N1CO, the “Zoe” pants. Thos freaking cool mesh hotpants, are really something I love. With the cool leather stripes and all the spikes and studds I so screamed Wicca to me and it was exact the right pants to make a cool contrast to the beautiful and playful hat. The pants are fully customizable with a HUD. This HUD lets you change every part of the pants and as well recolor the studds and spikes to what ever you need.

The collar as well comes from N1CO. The “Queens Collar” comes in a golden and copper looking tone with amazing feather attachments. Made in mesh as well it goes amazing with every move and pose you do and it is the perfect accessory for an outstanding look.

The very elegant boots are out of the “Golden Thread” collection. This collection was the latest addition to the Black Label of Miamai. This overknee boots carry an awesome black and white sequins looking texture. The feet itself are kinda black leather looking so it looks like the black and white fabric overlaps the black leather shoe parts.

Ready for the Mad Hatter Party!

Miamai – The Golden Thread

December 19, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Miamai is our with a new collection for the Black Label – The Golden Thread!

Last week there was an amazing show done my Miamai and the Miamai Models to launch the new “The Golden Thread” collection. The set, the music and ambience was just stunning and wonderful.

Monica Outlander:

“Wayfarers, welcome.

Our journey along The Golden Thread starts here with you as curious newborns, and it will end with your illumination.

I hope you didn’t expect to only have your raiment needs fulfilled today. No, the pathway we follow today warps and wefts itself around your senses. Ahead of you lies a forest of aesthetic delights, courtesy of the genius gardener Faust Steamer. Keep your eyes wide.

Not all of these are safe, however; as we all know, the most beautiful things in nature never are……

Are you prepared? The path lies waiting ahead…….”

The first outfit is my absolute favourite of the new collection even if I love all of them ;). The “Titania” outfit is an amazing full body catsuit with a huge neck part. The shiny black texture highlighted with that black and white pattern that breaks the black back ground in an awesome way, this cat suit is definitely the right addition and a must have for every fashionista’s wardrobe. The “Titania” headpiece is sold in 3 different versions. The black one went perfect with the “Titania” outfit. The headpiece is a ball made of wonderful little filigree flowers and on the backside you find a huge flower with and mask looking face in the middle.

The shoes are the new release for the Shoetopia 2013 2013 of LeeZu. The amazing “Havasu Fall” ankle boots with the super cool heel come in many different colors, so you can wer them to each and every styling you decide 😉 .

The second outfit for today as well is from the “The Golden Thread” collection of Miamai. The “Mahi Mahi” Dress is fully mesh made and with the rich black and yellow colors it just is a wonderful and elegant outfit. The huge petals that decorate the shoulders and leg bring back the wonderful yellow texture on the top, like the headpiece does. With all the golden-yellow tones on that black the “Mahi Mahi” dress screams elegance and fierce to the same time 😉

The sweet “Ula Dark” shoes are as well part of the new Black Label collection of Miamai. Again we see the amazing petals with the black/grey and golden-yellow accents. To wear this shoes you need the Slink Medium barefoot. The shoes only will work with those. If you always search for extraordinary shoes, the new “The Golden Thread” collection has quite a few to offer 😉 .

Summer Goodbye with Epic, Maimai & Finesmith

August 31, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

The weather becomes colder again and the kisses of the sunbeams are not that hot anymore. But still, we have some days with more sun than rain and they can be warm enough for a last journey to the beach

That’s why Dahriel and me decided we wanna have some fun at the beach with Epicosity designs.(see the full post at: http://crazyconnection.wordpress.com/2013/08/30/crazy-connection-already-goodbye-for-the-summer/)

I have to admit, I never heard about Epicosity before, but Dahriel was talking so good about them that I became curious. I was really surprised as a while later I got a very nice and kind IM and some boxes sent by the designer. Early Christmas! I ran home and unpacked them and I have to admit Dahriel was right. The amazing “Monokini” that comes in 3 different color pattern versions really is something special. The mesh bathing suit comes with a HUD for each set and you can change the textures and colors in a lot of different parts and versions. I started playing around a bit and finally chose the teal/blue color. I wanted to go for a light elegant look, as I loved the vintage touch of the “Monokini”. So I added the “Crystal Reality”. This jewelry from Finesmith usually comes with a full dress, but I loved the shape and color so much and it was the perfect addition for this look for me.

The hair was one of the releases of Miamai for the Hairfair 2013. The teal colored flower with the white pearl in the middle totally catched the vibe I wanted to have to my look.

As the question came to the poses he asked me if we could not use some of our own poses since we both make poses now. I was very grateful for this idea and that he asked for that and started looking through my self made poses.

Sure he has a wider range to choose from since he has his amazing huge store for quiet some time, but we managed to find one each of our own creations that in the end matched together .

Love for Donna Flora – GizzA for Squinternet Larnia

August 3, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Today I would like to show you another contribution for the great Love for Donna Flora event (http://lovedonnaflora.wordpress.com/2013/07/02/so-cancer-happened/)

Please make sure you visit the Love for Dona Flora sim and see all of those amazing designs, that were created to help Squinternet! (Taxi: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Brookridge/139/155/31)

For the first picture, the credits go out to Falbala Fairey. She asked if I would have blogged the “Yeriak” gown already, the one Giz Seorn, owner and designer of GizzA, made for he Love for Donna Flora event. She wanted to do a special picture together with another new release from GizzA, in a way of good versus evil. As usual I get asked to do the evil part I was wondering, why she asked me for the “Yeriak” gown… as I arrived I saw Falli in the new “Thorn Dress” and I did understand… Today she gets to be the evil and me the good one! I would like to thank Falli for that amazing picture. She even did some wonderful closeups, that you can see together with her stylecard on her blog (http://falbalafaireyfashionblog.wordpress.com/2013/08/01/in-darkness-shines-the-light/)

Let’s take a closer look on the “Yeriak” dress. The amazing corset shows, how much love for the detail Giz puts into her designs. The filigree and delicate lace that covers the waist and the wonderful opaque colored texture, that is placed on the chest make a perfect combination for this playful, vintage touched outfit. The gloves bring back the theme of the corset and the huge headpiece with the awesome sheer and flexible parts that are repeated in the skirt as well. The huge flowers that decorate the waist and as well the hat add a huge ‘eye catcher factor’ and together with the stockings and the garters it makes a perfect vintage touched outfit. The whole ensemble is a perfect contribution to the Love for Donna Flora event as it kinda is a tribute as well to Squinternet Larnia, the queen of the vintage look 😉

Brave Woman – A Tribute to Donna Flora

July 28, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

Some brave women, not the famous ones, fought for the right to vote early in the last century, they were called Suffragettes in a pejorative manner. They went on hunger strikes, were forcibly fed, went into passive resistance and took other measures to claim that women are equal. After almost 20 years of fighting, the right to vote was finally granted in 1919 (USA) and 1920 (UK). Being a political decision, it had a strong impact on the women’s lives and their appearance. Long hair was cut, and skirts shortened, the corsets went. Around then Coco Chanel invented the little black dress offering an unknown freedom of movement tot he wearer. She was right when she said, this dress would be “a sort of uniform for all women of taste.“ Today we think of Flappers, thinking back tot he glorious 20s, who would not have been without some brave women fighting for their rights.

But there are other ways to be brave, face an illness, be there for others, raise children, solidarize and to speak up when needed, to name a few.

When talking about the Love Donna Event (http://lovedonnaflora.wordpress.com/2013/07/02/so-cancer-happened/), Mal and I decided to pay our tribute, too. I guess you will get why we picked the 20’s theme.

As Mal was too late fort he Love Donna Flora event, she will donate all her Flapper skins you buy in the main shop. Click here for more details https://wiccamerlin.de/silken-moon-flapper-line/

Or help by visiting the Love Donna Event and enjoy what the awesome designers of SL donated to pay their tribute. The Love for Donna Flora Event will take place from the 25th of July until August the 11th. For a Limo please click HERE (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Brookridge/135/127/31)

Our hearts go out to Sqinternet, the person behind Donna Flora, please send your hearts, too.

Summer Feelings in Second Life

July 25, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

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 .

The dress has a white basic with wonderful floral ornaments and a black, lightly ruffled top end. 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. 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 😉 .

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.
