We all heard the stories about Yeti´s, unicorn, chupacabra or even Nessie. Many people claimed to have seen them, but nobody actually caught them. Rumors and stories about this fantasy beings have been told since generations.
But now in the year 2012 something strange is going on deep in the spooky forest.deep down in Ireland. People found foot prints, first they though it might be a hoofed animal but now it changed all. People claimed to have seen a mysterious wild creature, yet female looking , she got a dark skin, horns, wild hair and hooves. This creature must have been hiding good because nobody ever was able to catch her, rumours are spread that the one that tames this beast will have all the wishes fulfilled that he or she might have.
Many people failed at trying to find her, a lot of people even didn´t return from their adventure. But one day a brave young man decided to try his luck to find this being, he got laughed at and people took bets on him – whether he would come back and no.
One day this mysterious creature roamed around the forest to try to find something to eat, after all she was really gentle and friends with the nature, she wouldn´t harm animals or humans. Her food was nuts and plants. She was a peaceful being, and over the time she got sad, because people tried to chase her and the family and now she was the onliest one left from her species.
The friendly beast took a small break at a small lake, she didn´t feel any danger so she wasn´t aware that a man was sitting in the bush right next to her, she hummed a little song and thought about her joyful peaceful life in the forest when suddenly a man jumped out of the darkness with a drawn sword.
She stopped breathing for a moment and thought she would end up like all of her other ancestors before her. After she got some clear thoughts she jumped off and tried defending herself but couldn´t find a way to fight back. She started running, and she ran and ran. Her heart was beating heavily, she just wanted to carry on her species, even though she would be the last one alive.
The man was still chasing her, she looked back and saw him following her with the big sword in his hands. She ran faster, but then, she stumbled over a tree root and fell. Her ankle started hurting and she couldn´t find a way to stand up again. With the last power she got back on her feet, but the male was too close now and as she turned, she ran directly in the big sword he had in his hands right behind her. A huge pain run through her body and silver tears were running down her cheeks as the man stopped in front of her to finish his prey.
She felt her power vanish and broke down to the ground, feeling the smooth and damp grass of the morning underneath her. Her last view was the male, standing above her his hands raised, lucky about his victory. In the moment of her death he would loudly call his wishes out in the forest, like the rumors said and like it always had been when one of her species was murdered.
She closed her eyes, a last silver tear ran down her cheeks, her breathing went quieter and quieter until she finally died on the forrest ground, kissed by a few last sunbeams that guided her over to where all her ancestors waited for her.

On the 14th and 15th of January Opium was holding a casting for the new Opium Evolution agency.
They gave 3 themes to all of the applicants. Vintage, Goth Couture or Apocalyptic. All the old opium models were allowed to cast and new aspiring models could try out as well, it was announced as an open casting.
After thinking about what I wanna do I decided to get for the theme that would be my own biggest challenge… I figured that many will go for goth couture as we all have our inventory full with black great clothing and accessories. Vintage… I really like doing vintage styles and I could not decide wich style I wanna go, there are so many like 20s to 70s and in SL you will find a lot of vintage stuff. So I decided to go for Apocalyptic.
With the theme apocalyptic I immediately have movies in mind like, Water World, Riddick, Books of Eli, Pitch Black or Mad Max. Kinda a post apocalyptic theme after a huge atomic world war, where people have to get back to the basics to survive. Ruined cities where a few survivors fight for their rights and surviving.
As you can see on a few pictures I was not the only one that came up with that idea. Malek Sahara as well dressed up for apocalyptic and I just asked him if he would pose with me for a few pics 🙂
I really had fun with this styling and competition for my self and to collect all the stuff together, that I needed. Together with some cool action poses and using the cool weapons I got it made my ticket into Opium Evolution 🙂

Yesterday, again I made my way to the DAB Studios, owned by Daron Brandeis. He was IMing me, if I would have time for a shooting. A designer booked a commercial picture and he wanted me to style and model it. As I arrived, the designer was there and we had a short talk about what she wanted to have, the after all was cleared she left.
We did a few test shots to show her later and as we finished I was fooling around with a few looks and styles I created before as, I heard Daron freaking out about my actual outfit. Again it was clear that our crazy minds are not that far from each other and he started building a stand up little set. I put on the funny lightballs again and got very excited about, what he has in mind… I suddenly saw electric lights between my hands and instantly put on my glowy blue eyes… one word gave the other and I heard the camera going again and again… and what came out… was so incredible I have no words for…
Then suddenly I got a notecard from Pindar, who was sitting and watching the photography session… I had no clue that he writes and was hell touched by what just came up his mind watching the shooting. I asked him if I may use his little “poem” for the blog as it says more than 1000 words I could do…
Mother of Darkness by Pindar Kanya
I walk the spaces
between the worlds
and stalk the ebon reaches beyond Time
universes come into being
between the possibilities of my Will
to Be…or not to Be…there is no question
for I decide
what will and will not Be
I am the Smiter of Gods
the Eater of Worlds
and the Mother of Darkness
I call and the stars answer
I smile
and Darkness covers a thousand worlds
I wait for all beings
in the places where all fear to look
deep within
that raw, primal, ancient space
I stand
and one day…your final day
long after Death takes you…
you will see my face

Today I have the pleasure, to have a new designer that I never before had on my blog… Angiliak Crystal, designer of Pipins. Pipins is a French store and they started in February 2011 in SL. At Pipins you will find makeups, clothing and outfits for all kind of situations. Anyways if casual, classy, edgy or avantgarde.. you will find what you search for at Pipins. I am very happy that I got one of the new avantgarde outfits to show it on my blog 🙂
“Dress Epine” this extraordinary creation is named and it really got me from the very first moment I put it on… Such an awesome and high fashion idea, edgy and extravagant like I love it :p The dress contains the hat with the long pins, the upper body part, the skirt and the basic clothing layers. The long pins we have on the hat as well return on the huge prim skirt. The whole dress made in black and white really is a must have for every daring fashionista 😉 Immediately after I snapped this gown I visited all the 4 places where Angiliak Crystal showcases her different creations and it really was worth it… If you search some to stand out and be different… you really should make your way to the Pipins stores!!!

“Way to Purgatory” is one of the latest designs from Mea Culpa. Now you will ask yourself ‘I saw that gown already before’ and yes you did 😉 “Way to Purgatory” was one of the 2 amazing gowns that were sold in the Halloween special. If you were not one of the lucky ones that got it that time… no worries. You can now get yours for the regular prize in the Mea Culpa Mainstore.
Lets take a closer look at the gown…
It is a firework of textures and prims that again show the great skills of Tatanka Kaligawa, if it comes to design and ideas. The basic color might be black but it is ornamented and decorated with so many shades, shows and lights… simply wonderful. The attachments of the body move in a dreamy way. The great huge prim attachments at the head, round the neck and the hips carry a wonderful texture that breaks the black character of the gown in a perfect way. To see what else is new, make your way to the Mea Culpa Mainstore 😉 Belive me… it is worth it :p

Out of the press release:
“|Aleida| is pleased to offer her latest couture release, “The Bone Scarlet Pimpernel”, fresh off of the runway from its exclusive debut at BoSL Fashion Week. This exquisite couture ensemble is as sexy as you dare to be with its asymmetrical skirt and arched floral caging. Its fitted bodice hugs your amazing curves and the long gloves add instant elegance. This sweeping look is capped with a graceful chapeau to help you maintain the feminine mystique. ”
The second dress as well was shown the first time at the BoSL Fashion Week 2011. “Life is a Chess” this incredible outfit is named and as you can see Aleida played with a lot of chessmen on this outfit. The basic colors black and white make a perfect illusion of a living chess board with all the chess pieces on it. The huge headpart carries them as well as the wonderful back train of the dress itself.
The mixture of the opaque chessmen and the floating lace make a perfect combination. The dress is made of a basic black fabric that open on the belly for a little chessboard 😉 Really a piece of Art!
The last outfit for today is the “Falling Apart Gown”. Also the first time on the runway at the BoSL Fashion Week 2011. A total eyecatcher is the huge bow head piece and the beautiful sculpted skirt with all this little domino parts at the back.
All 3 designs are made very detailed and you can imagine how much time and effort were put in that dresses. Aleida is back with a big boom and awesome new designs. Watch out for her new Fall/Winter Collection 2011. This 3 dresses are only a little taste of what will come 🙂

Sissy Pessoa, owner and designer of Baiastice released her actual Fall Collection 2011. So many awesome new releases that it really was hard to decide… but finally my choice fell on 2 outfits of the actual collection… for now :p
The first one, named “Praga”, totally catched my eyes. Very high fashion and unusual and definitely something that turns heads with the corset and skirt that are connected with sexy garters. The light, long-sleeved top makes a perfect contrast to the black tones. “Praga” is available in 4 different colors. To style it I chose shoes from N-Core, hair from LoQ and an amazing eye mask and earrings from Finesmith Design.
The second design, that caught my eyes was “Ethel”. A black short dress as well with a corset and huge shoulderparts. Of “Ethel” you will find 2 more awesome fall colors if you take a look at the Baiastice Mainstore. To make the look complete I took hair from Vanity Hair, shoes from Miamai and again jewelry made by Finesmith Design.
As well part of the Baiastice Fall Collection 2011 is a limited, special edition skin…
“Nina, a very light skin in the tone ‘porcelaine’ will only be available for a certain time…to show as much as possible of skin I just put on Ezura‘s “Avant Garde E.T.” outfit and skipped the prims.
“Nina” has 10 different makeups and comes without eyebrows… what made it finally possible to use my Nuuna’s Skins eyebrow makeups 🙂 The incredible black jewelry are parts of the Finesmith Design “Noir” Collection.
Also Sissy Pessoa created one of the new mesh dresses…
This awesome leather “Minix Dress” can be purchased in 5 more colors and is one of the wonderful new ‘mesh’ creations that require one of the new mesh viewers, other wise you are not able to see it. For this dress I chose the “Diconay” set by Finesmith Design.
To see the whole Fall Collection 2011 of Baiastice you can take a look at the Baiastice 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 😉
