Colours of the sky

kimonomask7The colour of the sky changed in the middle of the fight and then she stood on different ground. It had happened before to her and she had been training for those moments since she could remember.
The next would be that they would try to trap her. But she knew that the area which surrounded her could not be real. The light was wrong. She drew her sword. It had been made by the best author and best smith of her clan. No matter if the ones she would need to fight would be real or written she was prepared.
kimonomask8 The Surgical Nurse Mask from Razor is made of mesh and comes in the starndard sizes. The set includes an alpha layer and a hud which allows to colour the front part of the mask in different ways. For the pictures a black dye has been used.
The Hair is called "Erika" and comes from Wasabi Pills, it first has been released at the Fantasy Faire but is of course still available at their Main store. There is also a male version available with the name "Erik". The haircut fits great to romantic or fantasy looks but also works in combination with suits.
The Kimono is made of rigged mesh and comes from Sweetaholic. There are a wide range of colours available. As the Kimono contains the tabi socks as well as the geta it only comes in one size. This is sometimes a bit of a pity as it is not possible to wear it barefoot but as it is very well textured and nicely made it is not a real reason not to buy it.
The Katana is available at Messer Co. which means it does not only look great it is also scripted for CCS. Besides of being able to be used with racials it has some style options. The blade can be curved or straight and it is also possible to choose from several colouring options.
The poses come all from Captivity Co. Sometimes it is worth to test how normal poses look in combination with a weapon. No matter if it is a sword or a gun.
The used skin is currently a group gift at Glam Affair. It has a very intense make-up.

Beings in the mist

The days at which the fog lifted were rare. Eideann did not care about this anyways. She knew that the beings which hid in the dust were most likely more afraid of her than she of them. As child she flipped when starting to see all the creatures but she soon figured out that they only saw her when she directly looked at them. Some of them tried to steal energy from her others just wanted to talk with her. She usually killed the ones who wanted her energy and for the others she wore a blindfold.
Henna Coat II
The henna jackets from Miamai just look great. This one is the black version of it. It looks like a normal elegant jacket with short tails on the back and the options to wear a feather collar. They consist of a jacket layer which keeps the bits covered and primparts for the jacket, sleeves and for the feathers. It can be worn with and without the feathers. All the prim parts are mod. The other items have all been blogged some time ago. But I have to admit that I really like the combination of the tattoo and the hair and so I used them again. The blindfold has been in a gatcha at the fashion fest it might be not available anymore. But illusions sells a very pretty one too. The thong belongs to a complete set thats why it is so expensive but there might be stores which sell single thongs.

Ordeal

Elaine moved her fingers to her collar to play with the small skull which was placed in its middle. She was alone in the church. It was one of these days, she was able to feel it, later she would have to fight. Erasmus her scholar had been arguing with an other one scholar the whole week. Elaine never cared about the theories Erasmus developed. She only was his fencer and would be the one who would fight for him to prove his theories in an ordeal by battle. When she recognized that she most likely would have to fight soon she had started to train ten instead of eight hours a day. Her opponent would be the swordsman of the other scholar.
Lurks Darkness I
He was new at the college. Elaine hoped that none of the other fighters had told him about her abilities. But even when they had told him about her abilitly to jump onto rapiers and to balance on them he would most likely not believe it. She knew that Erasmus counted on her abilities. Much more of his theories were accepted than of the most other scholars, just because of Elaine's skills with the rapier. He had found her while he was still a student and she around four years old. When seeing her fighting with boys in her age and even defending those who were two yearls older than her he decided to make sure that she would get all the training she needed to become his fencer. Although it wasn't illigal to have female fencer it was something which frowned upon. But he decided to give it a chance. He had known that he would need a brilliant swordsman to get ahead with his scientific career. Else he would have only had the chance to teach the theories others developed. Erasmus and Elaine never doubted the method to approve theories with the help of a fight. It seemed just right to use an ordeal when two logically correct theories came to different conclusions about one theme.
Lurks Darkness II
This suit from The Black Canary is called He Lurks in Darkness. I was amazed by it when seeing it for the first time so had to get it. It reminds me on a suit which is made for elegant fighting without having one drop of sweat on the forehead. The trousers have high waist. They are worn with a black top with sleeves at the shoulders and the wrists. The collar has a little tie and is closed with a skull in the middle. As all clothes from The Black Canary it is an very elegant outfit. It goes well with black flats but I decided to combine it with flat laced overknee boots. Those are sold by coco. The boots come with a hud which allows to resize both sides at the same time. The primparts of the suit are mod so it is possible to make them smaller or bigger if it is needed to do so.

Suit: ~*{TBC}*~ He Lurks in Darkness (300 L$)
Boots: *COCO*_Knee-HighBoots (190 L$)
Hair: /Wasabi Pills/ Ryoko Hair (250 L$ for one colour 1500 L$ for the fatpack)

A small taste of Sl week 61




And for todays look I shall be mostly imitating Alice in her whimsical wonderland, but let me start by talking about Taste of SL. The theme this week is 'wet & wild' and I've picked a couple of my favorites from that event, for 2 reasons. I love the items of course but I also very much like the creators interpretation of the theme. First is this totally gorgeous washstand from Dreamscapes art gallery it's so pretty and I totally love the accessories.

Next is the 'I'm not feeling very well' eyes from Izzie's which has various options  of which I am wearing a very subtle version but there are sad eyebrow shapes, tears with or without run mascara and 4 different shades of eye colour.  I think this is such a great item, i've seen run mascara & tears before but nothing with such great detail and options as this package.

The rest of the outfit consists of a pretty floral & gingham print dress which is a monthly 1L item at Humming and the undershirt is just the vest layer, collar & cuffs of the 'Bow shirt' from the Coco sale.

Ghost Ship

Ira was pondering. The ship was there - again. It seemed to appear once a year. And something on the island changed every time. This year the ship brought pelicans. Ira was not sure if she should be happy or annoyed about this. She loved birds and they looked good between flowers. But what would they eat? It was always so tricky with all the ghostanimals the ship brought.
With shawl and boots
I love simple, sophisticated outfits. The shirt and shawl come from Zaara, which is a store for amazing clothing for both genders. The texturing of both is amazing. The shawl is made of 7 prims and the loose parts of it move when the avatar moves. In my opinion it is a good thing to have one or two shawls just to add a detail to a very simple outfit. The shawl is mod so it is possible to make it bigger or smaller if that is needed. The blouse is sheer with some decorating seams on it. Because of the shawl over it, its not needed to wear a bra under it but without shawl it might be better to do so. It comes on on all layers so its possible to wear a jacket over it and of course a bra under it. The trousers are available at Phoenix Rising. Everything there is 25 L$ or less and the items are normaly well made (I only had sometimes the problem that it wasn't possible to mod primparts). The boots come from Coco. They have laces wrapped around them and consist of an upper and a lower part. Both parts are resizeable with the help of a hud. They go well with the thight pants but could also be combined with hotpants or short skirts. Because of their look it might be possible to use them also on several kinds of roleplay sim.

Outfit:
Shawl: Zaara : Pashmina Shawl *almost black* (190 L$)
Shirt: Zaara : Isis Shirt *pitch* (135 L$)
Jeans: -Phoenix Rising- Mona Pants (Grey) (25 L$)
Boots: *COCO*_Knee-HighBoots (190 L$ at the moment there is a sale going on)

Earth Rise

The smell of the smoke floated through the air as everyday and earthrise. Kathrin was alone on the plattform as normaly at this time. And she smoked. Sometimes people were annoyed by her behaviour. The atmosphere on the moon had only reached a state which allowed humans to walk around without using a respirator.
Black uniform III
But she had been born on the moon as first. It hadn't been planed of course. Not by the governments at least. Her parents had been among the astronauts who were choosen to start setting up everything on the moon to allow settlers to move there when the atmosphere would be thick enough for humans. Their colleagues never understood how Kathrin's parents had managed to go through the psychological tests. Of course the mooncolony was a try to gain peace between the two big state unions. Kathrine's father belonged to the European-American Confederation while her mother was an astronaut of the Sima Yan. The Sima Yan was the union of the african states and China. After the People's Republic of China had increased their influence on the african continent the states there started to orientate themself at chinese culture and finally they formed an union with China which was called after the famous Emperor of Wu. The conflicts between both alliances were massive. Luckily the elites of the European-American Confederation as well as the leaders of the Sima Yan sent their children to the same schools in switzerland, the only neutral country. So Kathrine's parents met first in a boarding school in the alps.
Earthrise
The parents of Katherine's father both worked in most secret scientific research projects. So Katherine's father knew while he was still in school that there would be a project to turn the moon into an area where people would be able to live. From his parents he knew as well that the project would be too expensive so that the alliances would work together. The leaders of both were afraid of riots which would most likely arrise because of the depleted soils. Hunger always seemed to lead to riots. So they hoped that they would manage to gain minerals from the moon to feed the billions of hungry humans. Knowing for years about the upcomming mission Katherine's parents managed to be prepared perfectly. Of course their families were surprised that they wanted to work with their hands instead of becomming diplomats, which would have been the normal career for them. But on the other hand they would be useful for their families to gain more influence. At least their families thought so. Katherine's parents had other plans - they wanted to see each other again. And they wanted to find a way to avoid being seperated again as it happened to them after they finished school. Katherine was their solution. Because of her they were not able to return to earth. Being born on the moon her bones were to weak to deal with the higher gravitation of the motherplanet of her parents. She was the first born moonie but at the same time the only prisoner in a giant cell. Nobody really knew what to do with her. Her parents only needed each other. Of course they loved her but their love for each other was so big that there was not really enough space for a child inbetween. So Katharina spend her time with watching films or wandering around. She had supposed that her parents would leave the moon when she would be older but not wanting to meet their families again - which were absolutly not happy about Katharina's existence - they stayed. One of the scientists who worked on the moon was sorry for the bored and lonely girl. So he started to teach her how to cultivate plants. It turned out that she was really talented. She managed to find good spots for plants and she was brilliant in mixing the gens of plants in a way which allowed them to grow in the sandy soil of the moon. It only made her a bit arrogant. So if somebody asked her why she was smoking she always told the people that she was only burning oxygen which wouldn't exist without her.
Black uniform I
I always adored the engineer boots from Coco on men. When going to have a look at their sale, which is currently going on, I recognized that they were also available for women. Of course I needed to have them. They are great. The bootleg is wide so that the shoe might make cool sounds while walking - which are not inbuild as far as I saw which is awesome - and is pretty comfy. The leathertextures are stunning. The boots come with a resize hud so that both have always the same size when resizing them while wearing both boots. If your avatar has two feet with different sizes you have to take off one boot while resizing the other. There are many great items available at Coco so its worth to visit that sale for more than boots. The uniform comes from C'est la vie. It is made to fit women as well as slender men. I guess the ones who wear that uniform should look a bit androgyn. But I might be wrong about that. All I can say about it is I love the design and it was easy to make it fit. Even the hat is mod and it is possible to make it smaller. The set comes with two kinds of pants one for guys and one for girls and I love the pointy shoulders. The black nails come of course from Virtual/Insanity. They have the possibility to show swearwords on top of them. When visiting the grandparents its possible to turn the texture into plainblack instead of having things like "fuck" written on top of them. The nails come in three different sizes. The hair on the upper pictures is new and from Wasabi Pills. It has a short cut at the front while the long hair of the rest is wrapped together. It could be worn either with or without pearls. When worn with pearls the hair includes a lot of tinting possiblities for those. The cigarette holder comes from nikotin. It includes a hud which allows to smoke on many ways. The cigarettes, cigars and pipes from that store are all very well made. And allow to blow smoke even out of the ears.

Shopping wars




I love this little desk from the Alberto kawaii hunt and this picture is saying to me, get off the laptop and go shop! I've got my bag ready, however as much as  love to shop in SL , I detest it in RL...ok so here comes the rant. In real life you have to contend with the following : getting parking rage before you even start! yes the parking spot that you've patiently been waiting for, gets taken as someone else drives straight in whilst the previous occupier is still reversing out!
 next > indecisive shoppers that are stood dithering over the item that you simply want to take  & pay for! next > escalators! urghh!! you wanna get on but the person in front of you is spending so much time negotiating when exactly is the right time to get on!! what's that about? anyway when they do get on you have the same problem when they reach the top" uh uh when do I get off ?" ..."urghh now because you're causing a mass pile up of bodies behind you!"
next > So you finally find the item you want , yet you can't pay for it because the shop assistant is too busy telling her mate what she got up to the night before, even though she is aware that you are stood there.
Hmm cyber shopping it is then!

In which she wears pink hair!



Well I thought pink hair wearing days were over...ok in my 1st life yes but when I saw this subtle pink shade of hair on a luckyboard at D!va I knew I had to have it! and so I teamed it with this 'Marine' look with this marine top, and Marine bermuda pants at Vera Modera . I love the cleverly designed top which looks like it had a prim bodice due to the creased effect, which helps keep my prim count down. Oh and yet another pair of fantastic footwear from Skifija. I know I harp on about them but honestly I've never found shoes as easy to wear, available with so many options, I just LOVE them!

Franckly Fashion

I was just taking pictures when a friend of mine, Franck, came around, with his lovely partner Jill, to show me his latest outfit. In my opinion the combination is quite stunning. The combination of elegant materials with heavy boots and leather pants fits quite well. The long scarf makes the look more arty without letting it look female - the boots and the trousers prevent that. The coat with the scarf and the sweater is sold as combination. There are more versions than the one Franck picked available.

Flying away with Ezura

After she failed with dying her hair she just wanted to flee. So she grabbed her favourite jacket and jumped on her little steamflyer.
But even after half an hour of flying she didn`t know what crazy story she should tell her friends to explain her hair colour.
The jacket is the new lucky board gift at Ezura. It comes with a sculpted collar, sculpted cuffs and in three lengthes.

The first pack contains lighter colours and the socks in the second one come in darker tones.
