Sometimes you do not need much to express yourself. Simplicity can be the key as well 😉
Not too long ago, I only knew Dahriel by name, before Raven Pennyfeather, owner and designer of RFyre, brought us together 😉 We started to do pics together and more and more we discovered that we have a lot of things together depending on fashion style and even personality. Sometimes it is just scaring how close alike we think and act. For me it is not something that happened a lot, that you know a person for not too long and already feel you would have known this person for your whole life. I am very grateful that Raven played fate and introduced us to each other 😉
The more we worked on pictures, the more we both discovered that we would like to make more out of our ideas and just post together sometimes. We kind wanted to have a project together. We both are busy bees, Dahriel with his pose store *PosESioN* and me with blogging teaching and modeling but still we wanted to use the little free time to make something together. As we were asked for doing a column for a magazine, the “Crazy Connection” was born.
We both like the non usual and the different view on things, as well we like to have fun and be creative and we both felt kinda connected to each other, so the name was just perfect 😉
Today we wanted to make something special with a minimal style. What could fit better to start with as the wonderful creations of Nyunyu Kimono, owner and designer of NYU – Minimalistic High Fashion Couture. Dahriel picked the “Cropped Jumpsuit” and the “Tux Loafers” from NYU while I decided to go with the “Cotton Dress” with the “Cotton Cuffs” and the “Collared Bow Heels”.
Dahriel had the idea to use one of the cool buildings from Ewan Crumb for the scenery and he made the 2 poses we are using… I am sure that he will soon sell them at *PosESioN* 😉
For the skins we wanted something very pale that goes with the white stylings and Dahriel decided to wear one of his favourite skins from Fruk, while I used one of the new skins by Silken Moon. The blindfold was kinda the perfect finish for the whole look and it felt like a strong symbol for being open-minded and not just to believe what you can see 🙂
We hope you enjoyed our simple and minimalistic journey.

Sometimes I catch myself with a very casual mood – Yes, not that often but sometimes it just happens 😉 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 🙂 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 😉
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 😉 The huge necklace is the “Hannya” one from Mandala, one of my long time favourites. The hair comes from LeLutka and is called “Cheryl”.
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 🙂 The “Lumee” skin tone is perfect for all the ones who like the very light and pale high fashion look.
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 😉
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 😉 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

This week we had a nother wave of snow in germany and I was grumbling a lot for having the black card of being the one who had to clean the pavement in front of my house from the snow. So I thought I can try to get a better mood for snow, when I make some dreamy winter mood images in SL 😉
I started with the “Carley” gown from Miamai. The long shoulder free gown was perfect as a basic for the little winter beauty. For the even more elegant touch I added the bolero of the new “Riga” outfit from SoliDea FoliEs.
The hair is one of the latest releases from EMO-tions called “Solitude” and for the jewelry I decided to go with the “Nur” set from Finesmith.
The makeup comes from a lady I know for a long time and she came back to SL with her new brand – The Makeup Artist. I am talking about Talyia Tarber. I combined the “Angelic Lace Candy” with the “Black Female Swan” and added my favourite lipstick from Silken Moon, “Wicca Lips Lead”.
For snapping the pics I remembered a place where Natzuka brought me once for a shoot The wonderful ambience of the alirium sim, with the pink colors and the snow just made the illusion of a winder dream complete for me 🙂

I already posted about that Dahriel and me discovered an amazing cool shop for casual clothing called M.o.w. We both already blogged about that brand in the last days and we thought we maybe could do one together 😉
As we started to do pics together none of us yet had the idea of where this team work would bring us. But after the pictures got seen by a few ppl and we got a quite nice and good response on them we talked more and more doing pics and posts together. Lately a magazine approached us if we would not wanna share a few pics and the style cards for a small column. That was the moment when the “Crazy Connection” was born, because we needed a name for the column and as well for our teamwork 😉
Dahriel as always is way faster as I am with the pictures so he already started the post with the picture and the style card. I asked him if he would mind if, I add some words to it and my edited version of his snapshot.
So for today and the first official post of the “Crazy Connection“, Dahriel and me styled some of the M.o.w. designs that we both got. As I still cannot snap pictures with shadows, Dahriel made the snapshot and send it to me. The picture you can see at the beginning of the post is the version Dahriel edited. I could not resist this time to work a bit in Photoshop as well on that amazing snapshot and at the bottom I would like to share my version as well 😉
We used the “Pleasure” couple pose of PosESioN, that Dahriel made lately and soon will release in his Mainstore as well 😉
I hope you all enjoyed the birth of a wonderful project and give Dahriel a warm welcome to “Fashion Addicted“. I hope that we will have many “Crazy Connection” posts besides Dahriel and my single ones.

Once, a beautiful, shiny and colourful butterfly was flitting from one flower to another. She saw a baby elephant coming down the path. She flew to him and sat on his ear. The elephant asked, “Who are you? Where are you going?”
The butterfly proudly replied, “I am the most beautiful of all the butterflies. You are ugly and fat. Your body is heavy while I am delicate and light. People are jealous of my colourful wings. I can fly anywhere with these wings.”
The elephant calmly said, “I am glad to meet you.”
The butterfly went on, “There is no comparison between us. You have four legs but I have six. You have a trunk and I have something like that too but I use it to suck nectar from the flowers. You cannot do that.” Just then a strong wind blew and the butterfly could not keep her balance. She cried for help as she was flown away in the wind. But the elephant stood firmly on ground and thought, “I can see how pride has a fall.”
