The Runway Perfect Hunt #4 – Part 1

by

TRPH #2 001

The Runway Perfect Hunt goes in it’s 4th round :). Morgane Batista again made it, to get amazing designers to participate in one of the most famous hunts on the grid. Even if the title says “The hunt with models in mind” does not mean this hunt is limited to models only. All the amazing and versatile designs are amazing additions to everybody’s wardrobe, even the males will find some amazing hunt prizes in some locations 😉 This year the hunt is not a total freebie hunt, each hunt item costs $5 Linden. With a total of 50 shops you reach a maximum of $250 Linden, what is a great amount for so many amazing quality designs!

For today I would like to spotlight the first 4 stores with a mix & match styling.

First store would be *PosESioN*, store #19. Dahriel made a little set of 5 poses called “Andromeda”, made for females only. Maybe the brave guys wanna give it a try as well 😉

The outfit comes from location #28, Svart. Angexx Quandry created one male and one female outfit. Certainly I used the female one called “Ren”. Shorts and top are mesh made and come in various sizes to make sure that it fits all kind of avatars.

The super cool hat comes from Xen’s Hats. A blue Feodora style looking hat with an amazing texture, that really gives the hat a realistic fabric.

The amazing lips gloss was provided by [mock]. The “Mariellis Lip Shine” comes in 3 different colors and each has 3 different versions.

To complete my styling I added the “Cubism” glasses from epoque because they underlined the retro feeling, that came with the outfit and the hat,  in such an amazing way. The jewelry is one of my long times favourites from Mandala called “Sinra”.

The Runway Perfect Hunt will last until the 30th of May so do not hesitate too long to grab your hunt prizes 😉

MVW 2012: National Gown for Miss Canada 2012 by Tres Beau

by

My last Miss Virtual World Gown from Tres Beau is the wonderful “Miss Canada” gown. The incredible gown was made for Miss Sazzy Oh, our Miss Canada 2012 for MVW 2012. Kimmera Madison again shows, how much she cares about the different countries and their traditional aspects if she designs the national costumes for MVW. If we think on Canada… for sure we imagine a lot of snow and ice. Exactly that, Kimmera took for the basic of her awesome creation. For sure her amazing skills for designing let her do something very special. The “Miss Canada” gown combines a lot of different fabrics. The shining clothing layers, that glitters and shines with every sunbeam that it kisses it, the huge fluffy fur parts on the great coat with the hoodie hanging down in the back and the little snowflakes that hang down from the waist in the front on long, filigree and flexible lines and all the awesome snowflakes and ice crystals that make the huge head-piece, the decoration of the coat and the jewelry itself.

The incredible necklace and earrings repeat the snowflakes theme and add even more glamour to the whole gown. You as well can take of the huge coat and wear the wonderful ensemble as a short dress 🙂 The dot of the “i” make some snowflakes that fall down around you like little particles… it nearly looks like you are standing in the snow :). The “Miss Canada”  costume you can find at the new Tres Beau Mainstore 🙂

MVW 2012: Evening Gown for Monaco 2012 by Tres Beau

by

Our Miss Monaco 2012, Miss Vivienne Darcy, was allowed to walk this lovely piece of gold in representing the second smallest country of the world. Monaco as well is the second smallest monarchy in the world and the most densely populated country in the world. From all the news papers and TV reports we know that the rich and beautiful live in Monaco with all their yachts, motor boats and expensive lifestyle. According to that Kimmera Madison, owner and designer of Tres Beau, designed this incredible golden gown for Miss Monaco 2012. The basic dress is made with so awesome skills that you really can see the golden shine what seems not that easy, as gold and silver are two of the most difficult colors to work with I was told. The huge prim parts on the side and in the back add even more elegance to the whole dress.

First I was thinking about huge and super sophisticated jewelry but then… I did not want to drag any attention of the gown. So I searched a bit and found an awesome set of Kunglers Extra, that I got not too long ago. It was in  more red golden tone but it for me completed the outfit without overdoing it 🙂 If you wanna join the club of the sophisticated high-class fashionistas, the “Miss Vivienne” gown should  not be missing in your inventory 😉 So make your way to the Tres Beau Mainstore and get your golden piece of art 🙂

Finesmith Muse 2012 – Semi Finale Review

by

Yesterday, on the 27th of November, the semi finals for the Finesmith Muse 2012 took place. I was allowed to be one of the lucky ones to be part of it . We got a very nice challenge and rules for our styling.

Yula send out a NC with the requests she had for all of the contestants. The theme was fantasy but still being human, so not having fantasy skins… some people told me that this is my theme to go wild with horns and wings and stuff… so I wanted to go completely different and not doing what people expect from me :p. So I took the risk to go for cute and fairytale *grins* rare but there 😉

As well I wanted to redo as many jewelry attachments to use them as a different thing as they usually were thought for. So the great “Victorian Secrets” earrings became my dolly ballet shoes, The “Jellyfish” headpiece became the dolly skirt and as well parts of the bracelets. Then a windup dolly needs a wind up key so I just took the “Victorian Secret” necklace, turned it around and made it way bigger before I attached it to my back ;). The collar inspired by Blackliquid went on my head, got turned around and turned into a hat 🙂

To make the fantasy fairytale complete I had the idea of a lonely sad windup dolly locked away in her glass cage and my genius sister Rhonda Pennell helped me with the story and proper english 😉 Thank you sissy!

Few of us can resist the magical power of a full moon shining brightly in the otherwise dark hours of the night…for some, it means sleepless wandering, for others, a metamorphosis. But for one single doll, a wind-up doll locked in a glass cage, it means a taste of freedom.

You see, our lovely doll, Wicca Merlin, was betrayed by the young, dashing prince she once loved. The prince was very charming and swept Wicca off her feet from the start, but he soon met another woman who was a beautiful but cunning witch, and he began spending more time with her and less with Wicca.

Poor Wicca! Her sweet, innocent soul unable to withstand the raging waves of jealousy, she became enraged and locked the prince away, letting him out only once every month on a full moon – for it was the most romantic time that Wicca could imagine spending with him. But the young witch found out, and before long, she and the prince schemed against our doll to doom her to the same fate.

Cursed, Wicca must now endure long, lonely hours in her glass cage, its door unlocking only on a moonlit night. But she must return before sunrise when the door once again closes, or she will perish in an instant.

Tonight the door opens once more, and our doll steps out in all of her shining Finesmith beauty. She takes a breath of the fresh, cool air, spreading her arms decorated with “Buckleup Jellyfish” bracelets like wings unfolding, and slowly begins to twirl. Her “Jellyfish”dolly skirt, her “Victorian Secret”ballet shoes, her “Leah”corset and even the hair with the “Blackliquid” hat, all sparkling and glistening under the moonlight, making her feel beautiful – and hopeful that perhaps this time, this very night, at last she might find a true love to rescue her from the confines of the glass cage forever, for only true love can break the curse.

The hours pass by, and lovely Wicca enjoys rare moments of happiness as she runs through the forest, and once even passes by a small pond where frogs croak softly by the edge and fish chase each other below the water, all doused in a silver moonlight glow. Or is the glow coming from our doll herself? She gently dips a finger in the water and giggles, as tiny circles spread from the center and grow larger, momentarily distorting her reflection.

But morning comes quickly, and in growing despair Wicca realises that she must once again return to the glass box. A single tear drops from her eye like a liquid diamond…She turns around once more, then steps inside as the door begins to close. As she prepares to go to sleep for another month, a soft glow remains, emanating from her Finesmith outfit – a glow of hope for eventual salvation.

The End

Nefertiti Kimagawa for “Claim the Fame”: Week 3 – Darkness

by

For the second week of Claim the Fame the designers had to create a dark attire for male and female and make a description that was read during the TV Show on Metaverse TV. (http://metaversetv.com/blog/2011/04/claim-the-fame-3/)

All designs of the Claim the Fame Shows are available at the KULT District (for surl please click here)

Nefertiti Kimagawa: “Imani is a black widow.  Her long black skirt has the symbol of her kind, the red birthmark.  The red headpiece spirals around her face to attract the eyes of future mates.  Her long spider legs allows for her to have speed and agility as she searches for her next victim… I mean husband…

Daron is the demon samurai that has come to life by as evil spell.  He travels in the night, hunting for his next victim so he can slice into pieces and consume their flesh.  His long tentacle arms whip violently at his prey as he strikes.  Do not be fooled by Daron because he is blind, he has incredible hearing.”
