“Because they are dreamy, and endless, and magical”

Do not stare directly into his eyes!” she warned, in an accent I couldn’t place.
“Why not?” I said, but she was already too late. I was staring directly into his eyes too.
“Because they are dreamy, and endless, and magical. And then when you learn what a terrible boy he is, your heart will turn into a black husk of doom.”
I blinked off the spell of the boy’s eyes.
“Wait, what?”

Gothic Lolita Feelings

AD Creations - Murk Half

Sometimes I get my dark fantasay and emo mood and this time I found the perfect outfit to express it 😉 The wonderful “Murk” dress from [AD] Creations.

AD Creations - Murk Full

The incredible textured ruffles, the amazing details on the corset, all the wonderful accessories and the beautiful eye mask give a perfect ‘gothic lolita with class’ look. The black and purple color combination underlines the strong gothic look in an awesome way. I did not wanna ad too much of other accessories as the gown itself already has those amazing features, so I only added some bracelets and a collar from LouLou&Co and the wonderful “Rosenkavalier” hat from Rozoregalia that brought back the roses in such a nice way.

Now I had to find a location that matched the look. I was looking around many places until I remembered a wonderful victorian place. Venexia, a super amazing RP sim. It has so many nice places and corners and if you are polite and kind and do not disturb the roleplayers, wearing your observer tag, this place is heaven for pictures.

Mesh News from Prism!

We all know the awesomeness and problems of the new mesh clothing in SL 🙂 Many designers already released mesh clothing and it really is a wonderful possibility to let the avatar look with certain clothes come more real. No more silly knee angles, no more skirts that fall trough chairs if you sit on. The idea of mesh really is a great revolution, even if there has to be done much more work on still.Everyone that uses one of the mesh featured SL viewers, can wear mesh.

Prism now released their first mesh dress as well. A wonderful short dress that can be used in all kind of stylings you can think of. I decided to go for a kinda Rockabilly styling, because I really liked that with that dress ;). Journey included 3 different sizes of the dress and 2 different alpha layers to make it fit better. For mesh you cannot anymore edit the prims, when you wear them, so that different sizes really make sense and with 3 options you pretty much have a good chance to make it fit your shape. For this post I used the “London Leather” version of “Adele” and I am sure if you make your way to the Prism Mainstore you will find many more amazing colors and versions of the “Adele” dress 🙂 Dare to wear mesh :p

Wicca’s Wardrobe: LOTD 11/23/2011 – The Dark Side…

Today I saw a little note in Starwalkers from Daron Brandeis… he looked for a model he can do a face shot with. He told some requirements and it sounded like a sweet challenge and I IMed him. A few hours later we met at his studio. I already had some face looks prepared and after some time we developed what he had in mind. We changed around hair and makeup color. I really enjoyed it to help him, to get his vision to come true, of what he had in mind. I saw the background and my look and started to try to imagine what will come out. Daron added some lights as well – actually they looked like 3 funny balls floating around me as I had my settings lowered as usual when I just roam around :p. So I was not really able to get the imagination of the final picture. After he did the closeup, he took some more snaps… I heard the camera going ;). After some nice talking as well I went and let him do his work. After my LeeZu shift all of a sudden he told me he did the closeup… (wich you can see above)

Daron TPed me back to his studio and as I rezzed in and could see the picture…  something happened what’s really rare for me… I became speechless as the picture rezzed in. What I saw was simply breathtaking, never before someone catched me and as well my feelings so perfect! The picture really touched me with the look, the angle and the atmosphere… all was just perfect! I would say I never got a better closeup from a photographer then this one… I never got a closeup that showed me better than this one in that very moment. Not long after I left him with my incredible head shot, he IMed me again, telling me, he would have another one done… and not much time later the 3rd. Wich every picture I saw.. I more and more became silent, because of this wonderful images.  With this pictures I got an idea back in mind for a styling and picture I wanted to do for a long time and Daron seems to be the one that can do that picture for me… so I am looking forward to meet him again to realize this idea. If you need a picture, with soul, attitude and atmosphere… please consider Daron Brandeis. I really enjoyed working with him, he is very talkative, nice and kind and that really helps for getting the very best results for pictures if photographer and model are able to come together and talk about visions and ideas!

Wicca’s Wardrobe – Puzzle Styling in a Crazy Mood

For the very first “Claim the Fame” TV show I put together an outfit that I liked in the end so much that I decided it will become a Wicca’s Wardrobe styling 😉

Many people know my addiction to take different parts of ready mae outfits or even many single parts and put them together to make a new look out of them. The styling for this post exactly was such a ‘puzzle’ mood 😉 The pants are part of the Gizza “Diamond Catsuit” in silver. For the corset i chose one of Trilobite my favourite corset maker named “Leather V” in coal. The top… yes I name it top even if it is just  a bit more as a collar*giggles* comes from Kyoot Army and carries the name “Wilted Wednesday Vest”. The “Black Peahen” gloves by Glam Affair without the fingertips matched perfectly for the look I wanted to have. For the “Igaly Darkness” Boots by Eshi made a wonderful repeat of the look that the “Valeria” earrings from Finesmith Designs have – yes I so love that earrings ;). As well from Finesmith Designs are the “Draakje” nails that are only available in size 10. My hairstylist for this look was dianny3636 Aeon with her “Xia” hair attachment and the matching hairbase in black. The artist that made my wonderful tattoo was Shanea Parx from Wicked Tattoos. The skin is one of  my 2 actual favourite made by Glam Affair called ” Mary” in the light tone. The armlets I found at Rozoregalia as a part of the “Hydra” line.  For me a perfect everyday look for the crazy and daring fashionista 😉 The poses of the yellow pictures I got from Diconay Boa, genius designer of CORPUS poses. If you need poses for pictures or even poses that are out of the box you definitely should visit her store and take a look. The amazing “Cycle Dancer” of the pink picture I found as a prop in 3 different colors with 16 different poses at Posies.

Autumn comes… we are prepared ;)

(Outfits: LeeZu – “BonVoyage” male & female version, Models: Wicca Merlin & Harsch Sharktooth, Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

The days getting shorter, colder and less colorful. But also darker and fewer colors can be very fashionable 😉 For example the “Bon Voyage”  outfit from LeeZu. Part of the NOIR series this outfit comes in a male and a female version.

(Outfit: LeeZu – ” BonVoyage” male version, Model & Photographer: Harsch Sharktooth)

For the male version I am happy that Harsch Sharktooth agreed to help me for that part 🙂 Thanks a lot for your pics, time and patience Harsch!

“BonVoyage” for males is a great black opaque body suit. The basic black texture that we can see for the pants also is repeated in the combination of awesome textures.

(Outfit: LeeZu – ” BonVoyage” male version, Model & Photographer: Harsch Sharktooth)

Basically it looks like a simple bodysuit, but if you take a closer look and look at the prim attachments you will realize the amazing design ideas and skills with wich LeeZu can make every outfit to something special.

(Outfit: LeeZu – ” BonVoyage” female version, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

The big legs sleeves, hand attachments, elbow attachments and the huge shoulder parts. All created with a fantastic eye for details and wonderful skills for creations and design! The female version is not a fully opaque body suit… it has this sexy laced parts at the top. The private parts are perfectly covered and still you can show a lot of stunning lace covered skin what accents your shape even more 😉

Overall a perfect outfit for the actual season anyways if male or female… with the “BonVoyage” you are perfectly dressed if you take care of your style 😉
