New Ventures…

New Ventures…

I gave myself a new duty since I realized, that I do have a shopping addiction when it comes to sales. I am sure you all know that feeling, if you go and look at sales you will find a reason for each and every item you like, so you can buy it. But ever so often I fund stuff I bought weeks or month later, still unpacked in my inventory, because I forgot about them for quite a while. That doesn’t make them bad or ugly, but it makes me sad that I saw things, liked them and then forgot about them. So I made it a new rule to use everything I buy, at least once for a picture… we will see how that goes, but I am positive about it for now and already didn’t shop as crazy as usual for the past 2 weeks *giggles*

So this is my first post for some “private” fun… with some of my prey from my last shopping tours *giggles*

Since I felt the freedom to not have to be specific about something I thought I could practice my “built a set and nit just use a backdrop” skills and went a little crazy with all kind of deco and furniture from DRD, NOMAD, 22769 and some more – I do have to admit, first I thought it is too cluttered, but then I did really like it 🙂

This is just the beginning of a new venture for me, so I am sure there will follow some more until I know, if it was a good idea or not… but that only time will show *winks*

“Money, it’s a crime…”

TUNES

Money, it’s a crime
Share it fairly, but don’t take a slice of my pie

Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise, it’s no surprise
That they’re giving none away

Wicca’s Originals @ Kinky // April 2021

Wicca’s Originals @ Kinky // April 28th – May 23rd

The Iridas piercing set is a series of metal piercings to adorn the chest, intended to be worn along the same cuts as various necklines of clothing. The lingerie-cut along the bust and three higher necklines can be included or removed to flatter whatever clothing or lack of you wish to accessorize. The studs themselves are held in place using subdermal surgical steel anchors, which Wicca’s Originals does not recommend for anyone with a low tolerance for pain. The cross at the sternum is held in place by a longer curved needle fastener on its back. While these piercings may excite the nerves in new and interesting ways, the illusion they create is absolutely worth the suffering. Wicca’s Originals recommends using a professional body modification artists to get your anchors installed with minimal chance of infection. The Iridas set comes in 10 metallic colors, and different segments can be included or removed at the wearer’s discretion. They fit for Maitreya (+Petite, +Flat), Legacy (+Perky), and Gianni bodies, and include an unrigged version as well to allow them to fit on Belleza Jake or any other body.

The Lita Bindi is a bit of jewelry by Wicca’s Originals to adorn your sixth chakra, the ajna. People are born with two eyes to let them see externally, but all persons also possess a third, inner eye, which casts its gaze inward, towards ‘God’. Whether, for you, this divinity is a singular entity or many, or is simply the pursuit of the divine within one’s spirit, this bindi was carefully crafted to place its slight weight and help focus your energy inwards. The inclusion of gems, as those embedded in the optional side chains and in the trio of delicate chains above the cross, bring their own kind of energy to help channel the wearer’s. The Lita Bindi can be worn with or without the chain across the brows, and the stone can be swapped between 10 different types, to affect different changes in your chakra energy. May it bring you peace.

Wicca’s Originals @ The Darkness Event // April 2021

Wicca’s Originals @ The Darkness Event // April 5th – 28th

Item:
One pair of tall boots, nicknamed 'Lagoa' Boots'. Designer: Wicca's
Originals
.

At first glance, subject appears to be another tall pair
of boots, rising to the mid-thigh. A set of studs line the front of
the two-tone, subtly patterned material, providing security for the
lacing which criss-crosses over the leg, binding the boot securely
and snugly to shapely legs. A tall heel works in conjunction with a
high pitched arch of the boot's outersole to lift the wearer's foot
to a pleasant height, tightening the leg muscles and buttocks in
order to support the pose.

However, those trained in the esoteric and
the strange may recognize that there is more to these boots than
style alone. The inclusion of three crosses wrapped around the front
of the platform seem to promise either protection against or command
over demons and spirits. With the inclusion of the inverted pentacle
on the back of the heel, the latter seems more likely. These are the
boots of one who dabbles in dark arts, who makes deals and consorts
with devils. As a last resort, this particular set of footwear arms
the wearer with a very sharp, tapered heel spike, which is capable of
being changed out with different metals. It is well documented that
some extraplanar beings are susceptible to different sorts of things,
silvers, irons, some even respond to gold or brass, so this seems a
very deliberate choice. Recommended next steps for this investigation
are to track down those who have acquired a set of Lagoa Boots and
observe them, covertly if possible, in order to see what connections
they may have to the other world. This pair of Lagoa Boots will be
kept for 24 hours for continued study, after which time they will be
destructed in accordance with protocol. Other pairs may come in up to
10 color options and metal options, for Maitreya, Legacy, Freya, or
Hourglass bodies

Steampunk Heart

TUNES

Clockwork ticker, beating pulse
It lives and loves on wild impulse
Shiver and shake like feverish imps
If you look inside and take a glimpse
Romanticism is just an illusion
To a heart that beats confusion
Mechanical wonder but oh, so cold
The wheels and cogs in brass and gold
Manipulate the ghost in the machine
Ignored and loathed like something obscene
Tarnished and tattered by time and misuse
A strange device suffered decades of abuse
Mechanical lungs, screwed in ribs like art
All of them hiding my Steampunk hear

Wicca’s Originals has released their latest optimal augment, the Kingsford Eyepatch. Bringing form and function together, this curious looking facial decoration serves to do more than just cover the eye with a stylish design. The eyepatch is outfitted with analog parts, including an optical zoom on the lens which can be adjusted from the dial on the side of the face, and a shielded concave lens designed to be able to maximize the capture of light and allow the wearer to see in near-dark settings. Being all analog, the Kingsford design requires no batteries or electronics, and is easy to service. The squeamish may find the way it is studded to the face uncomfortable, but nobody got anywhere by letting such hang-ups hold them back. This unrigged eyepatch can be worn on the left or right eye, on any head, and comes in 5 colors for the leather and 5 colors for the metallic pieces.

Thank you Vivien and Aramis De’Lancoure for your time and patience for that picture, as well as the awesome pose ♥

Wicca’s Originals @ Engine Room // March 20th – April 20th

The Parthena Top by Wicca’s Originals challenges the idea that Steampunk styles needs to be so modest. The prominent folded collar with the big stamped metal faux buttons of the plunging neckline keeps with the ‘overcoat’ aesthetic, but that’s where the similarities end. The teasing crop-top cut of the top and the single, delicate clasp in the front show off plenty of midriff, which is perfect for showing off any tattoos, piercings, or other accessories decorating your midsection. This smart, sexy top dares to be bold and sends the message that the wearer isn’t as repressed as the Victorian-inspired genre might suggest. Comes in 10 color palettes and is fitted for Maitreya Lara, Maitreya Petite, Legacy, and Legacy Perky bodies.
