Angel Dessous – New Black Couture Line!!!

by

Lately Angel Dessous released a new Black Line with 3 wonderful outfits in black red and white. Today I would like to show you 2 of them in black. Lets start with the “Chess” outfit, that as well can be seen in the first picture.

“Chess” is an awesome knee-long dress, shoulder free with an amazing prim attachment. The dress it self on the first view looks very simple but as well it shows the elegance of simplicity. 🙂 With “Chess” you are definitely dressed right for every party or event. It is the “little black” that can be worn always and for everything 🙂 I added the new “Berry Blossom” set made by Finesmith Designs, the “Painter” fingernails as well from Finesmith and the “Sakura Boudoir” hat from the Boudoir hat collection.

The hair comes from Baiastice and is called “Fujiko”. The wonderful matching eye ornament was made by Talyia Tarber for her store Garded Secret.

My second outfit for today of the new Angel Dessous Black Line is named “Devine” and for this blog I chose the black version. “Devine” you can as well purchase in the blood version. This outfit has 2 possibilities to wear. one with a laced jacked and one without 🙂 I decided to wear it without for that blog post 🙂

The short dress has really an awesome couture touch with the awesome edgy attachments like the skirt and the shoulder parts/ neck part. The great corset that ends under the chest adds a very sexy touch as well. To hide my private parts and keep it PG for the blog post I took skull pasties made by Redclaw Inshan , designer of R:A:D. The sweet wrist ruffles usually are thought as an addition for the sheer jacket version but I could not go around to use them nevertheless for the short version as well. 😉 For jewelry I decided again – for sure 😉 – on Finesmith Designs. yula Finesmith lately created a wonderful set named “Giz” that comes with a necklace and a wonderful pair of earrings.

The incredible face mask that I liked so much for this styling as it matches the edgy prim parts comes from DE Designs and is called “Maiden Face Mask” and the hairstylist for this styling was Bliss Couture 🙂 For skin and make up I stuck to my long time favourite Glam Affair 🙂

Meiling – RL Designs are brought to SL!!!

by

Lately I had the great honor to be invited to the press conference of the introduction of Meiling to Second Life. It was very exciting to hear a really great RL designer talk about making her way into SL. Her words really catched my soul and everyone that was taking part got one or her amazing outfits packed in a little gift box that were laying on the chair. In my little box was a wonderful gown called “Midnight at Maracas” An amazing black summer gown, perfect for the actual season. At the press conference we saw pics of the RL designs that were made for SL and I have to admit Meiling did an amazing job to bring her creations to SL, very detailed and realistic.

Meiling is the premier RL designer of the Caribbean. She is renowned for her work in fine linens
and natural fabrics.  Her style is minimalist but with close attention to the detailing of every piece,whether beading, embroidery, or a razor-sharp pleat.
Although each item produced is unique–a black dress or a crisp white shirt, a bespoke wedding dress or a men’s linen jacket—the end result is always a sophisticated garment marked by superior workmanship.
The list of local, regional and international celebrities who wear her clothes include celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck and Miss Universe 1998 Wendy Fitzwilliam.

Meiling: ” I am very excited to have a presence in SL and to bring my designs in here for the residents. I am fascinated by this incredible platform of creativity and community and  totally ‘get it’ why people love being here. We have worked hard to translate my designs to the SL standards and to make sure that it looks as good or even better than the real thing”

PNP Pose Show – Review

by

Last Sunday the OGlam Agency presented the first show for PNP Poses made by  Spishak Sorbet.  Spishak Sorbet made a lot of new runway poses that were show cased by the OGlam models. It was an honor as well as a pleasure for me, that I was allowed to be part of that amazing show. The show was sponsored by Apple May, Azoury, Sascha’s Design, Champagne, Priviledge, !Silken Moon and Finesmith Designs. To give a short impression of that amazing show I would like to show you the outfits and poses I was allowed to showcase on the Runway.

My first outfit came from Apple May and was called “Cheery”. For skins we were sent to !Silken Moon and for “Cheery” I decided to wear the “Blog Frog” skin of the Rebel II series. The green eyeshadow and lips were the perfect addition to the color- and playful outfit. The jewelry for sure comes from Finesmith – and yes it is no secret that I adore yula’s creations as well as her genius designing skills and ideas 😉 – for this outfit I chose parts of the new “Rusalka Inspiration” set that matched the colors of the outfit and skin perfectly! For shoes we were allowed to pick from the great Mary Jane Shoes, made by Infiniti Mirihi. For this outfit the new “Cheeky” pumps in red where the perfect addition.

For this outfit I picked poses from PNP of the “PNP Runway – Mode” series.

The poses I used for the show were the “PNP Runway – Model 6, 28, 30, 42, 50

The second outfit I was wearing walking down the runway was made by Azoury and carries the name “Tenue Tooti”. The skin as well is from the Rebel II line of !Silken Moon and is called “L8ter G8ter” The jewelry as well for sure is made by Finesmith Designs and it is a mix of the “Vivienne Inspiration” set (earrings & headpiece), the “Ash” collar and let me add the fingernails as they are from Finesmith Designs as well, the “Finesmith Nails Painter v.1”

This dress was a real challenge to pose with the big sculpted prim that makes the skirt. But a few of the “PNP Runway – Dress” poses wer able to take the challenge and win 😉

For this outfit I used the “PNP Runway – Dress” poses 11, 44, 51, 56 and 63.

From Sascha’s Design I got the wonderful black “Zephra” gown. Again I used a skin of the Rebel II line of !Silken Moon , this time the “Mio Vio” skin. The jewelry is the “Idioma” set from Finesmith Designs and the shoes again I got from Mary Jane Shoes and they are called “Attitude Stilettos”

For the SAS Dress I chose poses as well from the “PNP Runway – Dress” series and it was the 2, 4, 9, 15, 24 and 46 that you can see in the pics above 😉

My 4th outfit was made by Champagne with a signature face tattoo from Garded Secret, that was made especially for this outfit called “Samba”. The skin is the same as I used for my first outfit and the shoes again came from Mary Jane Shoes, this time the “Strapped Stiletto” in cyan. The earrings are part of the “Valeria Inspiration” set, what is a limited set from Finesmith Designs.

For the “Samba” outfit I mixed poses of the “PNP Runway Haute” set and the “PNP Runway Dress” poses. From the “Haute” set I used the 2, 7, 10, 19 and the number 55 of the “Dress” series.

My last outfit for the PNP Pose Show was from Priviliged and it is called “Isadora Exclusive”. The skin is the last of the 4 Rebel II skins and named “Funny Bunny”, the jewelry set is the “January Colletion” from Finesmith Designs, the shoes are again a pair of the great Mary Jane Shoes – the “Satin Pumps” in white.

This time I again used poses from the “PNP Runway Dress” line to showcase the wonderful gown. I chose the numbers 8, 18, 20, 23, 26 and 27.

I hope you enjoyed my short review of this wonderful show and you take the effort and make your way to the PNP Mainstore and try all those wonderful and new poses 🙂

Finesmith Designs – Inspiration Sets March/April Part I

by

Finally I made it to snap my wonderful inspiration set of the Finesmith Muse 2011 contest. On the 1st of May, Finesmith Designs had a wonderful show, produced by Kabuki Boutique. The show was called “11 Rooms”. Each room had a special scene.

Each model with it’s own inspiration set had a room that was made especially for that set. Taylor Wassip was acting in a bedroom, Luralie Bailey danced in a club scene, Rissa Friller was in a shopping rage at a Jewelry Store, Aliyeh Yifu, the little mermaid  was swimming in an amazing underwater scenerie, Shena Neox was putting together a wonderful style in a dressing room, Vivienne Coppola showcased her awesome set in a cabaret show, Jamee Sandalwood wandered around the forrest, Sy Whitesong hovered through the downtown at night, myself was captured in a dungeon, Melanie Sauterau (for the show replaced by Serene Faith) strolled through an Art Gallery and Rusalka Callisto was turning her body in front of a camera in a photostudio.

During the show always one room was opened and each model has it’s own song to showcase the jewelry with a short choreography of poses. The audience was sitting in the middle of a black room and one room after another opened and a short story was read in a very interesting way not like the usual scripts of fashion shows. For this blog post I for sure wanted to show you the incredible set yula Finesmith made for me and as well I will try to show you all the wonderful sets one by one :). Luckily, I got the script afterwards so I can give you a short impression what was happening there :). At this point a big thank you to Xenobia Foxclaw who did this awesome script 🙂

As I mentioned… my room was a little dungeon. All in red and black with a cage and candles. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kabukimodels/5679571069/in/photostream) and for sure a text that matched this theme perfectly 😉

“Wicca Merlin was not born into the life of slavery. She entered it willingly with her eyes wide open. She adored her master and did his bidding. From cleaning his house to pleasing him in bed…she did it all without a word of complaint.

She knew he particularly liked to find her in this elaborate cage that hung in the dungeon surrounded by candles. She knew she looked especially pretty in candle light, and she loved the way the metals glinted and the candles set them ablaze on the walls. Tonight she wore his favorite set of jewelry – the Finesmith set that had been made to fit her. They felt warm and sensuous, and they fulfilled the promise he made when she signed the contract that made her his slave. Wicca would only enter such a relationship if the reward were her own set of jewelry from Yula. Wicca was quite sure she had the better end of that bargain.”

The second set I would like to show you, was made for Melanie Sauterau. For the show Serene Faith our actual MVW replaced Melanie as she was not able to make to the the show.

“Tonight is the opening of a new gallery exhibit. The pieces have been selected with great care to show the best work of this renowned artist. She is so young to be so accomplished in photography, oils, marble, metal, and gems. Her metal work is undoubtedly what she is best known for. I’m so very honored to be part of this exhibit. I’ve heard people say how very life-like I am. Some have even reached out to touch my skin to assure themselves that I am not a living model, or they watch my breast to see if I breath. I don’t understand how I cannot be living though – I have feelings, I love, I cry, I wonder..
I wonder who this person is who I’m named after – Melony Inspiration. Melony is a beautiful name, she must be beautiful to have inspired a work such as I am and the jewelry that I wear. I wonder if she is living still – perhaps a long lost love or a mother remembered fondly. I wonder what the story behind me is…I wonder.”

The last one for today yula made for Vivienne Coppola. A wild and fresh set that totally is a must have for every fashionista!

” Of all of her friends, Vivienne Coppola is the perfect one to appear in a dream cabaret. She has a wonderful collection of vintage flapper clothing. She is also dramatic in her behavior and her movements. She is even known to burst out into song and dance right on the street.
Even her jewelry, from Finesmith Designs, is perfect for her dramatic flair. The pieces seem somehow exuberant just like Vivienne. The band, the music, the dance, the beat of the drum – it all seems so full of life.
Listen, perhaps you can hear her now coming down the hall singing, “Stroke that shiny coat, stroking is the antidote, stroke that it’s a start, only for the wild at heart” – such a sexy song to sing and dance to. Yes, Vivienne is the perfect one to appear in this cabaret.”

All of the March / April inspiration sets are limited to 50 sets each and you can as well purchse them in single parts! As I said there are 10 new inspiration sets and I will show them to you one after another, so stay tuned for all the other lovely piece of arts created for wonderful models by yula Finesmith, owner and genius goddess of Finesmith Designs!

Wicca’s Wardobe – Glamour Night with Finesmith & GizzA ;)

by

Lately Giz Seorn, designer of GizzA, put an awesome gift at the Finesmith Designs Mainstore as I was doing my shift. A wonderful full body leather overall. I could not resist to style kinda black & white, the new Finesmith Designs “Mary” pearls set matched so well to hit what I felt in that very moment 😉

The incredible combination of pearls and filigree metal even let me wear pearls even if I am usually not the ‘pearls girl’ *grins*. As often yula surprised me with some that I would not have considered in a usual way for my wardrobe and her genius talent for designing and creating convinced me to walk a new path and throw away old prejudices I had against pearls 😉 The “Mary” set for me is kinda new generation of wearing pearls in combination with delicate, noble metals 🙂 Thanks for that Yula *hugs*

The corset again comes from Trilobite one of my favourite designers if it comes to the ‘prison round the waist ;). The boots for sure are the “Prestige Leather Boots” made by BAX, still one of my favourite boots even if I have them for a while. The hair I found on one of my rare hopping tours at Pocket Mirrors. Now.. let’s have fun in a ‘Glamour Night’ *grabs her car keys*
