Daydream In Baroque

"To sleep, perchance to dream."

It's been a little over a week since I've posted, which I entirely blame on my constant business trips and preparing for my upcoming birthday. I've had this look on the back burner for a bit now since I really have not had time to shoot it, but since today was finally a day off, I decided to get my camera out. This entire look was inspired by this beautiful tattoo from White Widow. It comes in three opacities, with appliers for pretty much every mesh body part, so they've got you covered! Overall this tattoo is absolutely beautiful and I'd absolutely recommend it if you're looking for something effeminate and classy. I paired it with a corset from Zenith, which I thought went well, though something was still missing at this point. Then I realized, I got my hands on all the piece of Keystone's Jewel set for Fantasy Gacha Carnival-- in gold even! Jewel has armbands, earrings, a belt, a nosechain (Uncommon), and a headpiece (RARE), in three colors (Silver, Bronze, Gold) to win. It's the last couple days, so if you want it, you better hurry over to FGC! These hairsticks from Aii, The Ugly & Beautiful are also a gacha item, available at Ai Gacha. The common version comes in six colors (Black/Black, Black/White, Gold/Black, Gold/White, Silver/Black, Silver/White), and the rare headresses come in five colors (Crimson, Holy, Moonlight, Night, Shadow). They're unrigged, modifiable mesh so you can fit them to virtually any hair-- just keep in mind they are no copy! I finished the entire look off with one of my favorite liners, then headed to my studio to shoot.

Time To Dance

So Pose Fair 2015 is right around the corner and //elephante poses// has a bunch of new poses out. The first one I decided to play with was one of the ballet sets because I have always wanted to do one, but have struggled when the time came to do it and this piece just sort of fell into place.

This dress, I've had my eye on it in all of its colors for a good little while, but between the event it was in causing a ton of good bloggers to be on top of it and my ballet issues I was scared to try until these poses called my name. It was the first thing that poped into my mind and I'm glad it did!

Now to give credit where credit is due!

Danse De L'obscurité

Come, let us dance with the darkness. I'll lead the way.

If there's a secret about me I'm willing to reveal, it's the fact that I attended and trained in the art of ballet dancing. Because of that, I absolutely adore ballet and all that pays homage to such a graceful way of dancing. When I laid my eyes on this gorgeous dress from Zenith, I thought it was high time I return to the roots of my adoration. The gorgeous matching collar, gorgeous jewelry, and the adorned headpiece were too perfect to dare pass up. The only thing I needed was to put on my makeup, do my hair in a classy yet diabolic way, slip on my gloves, and adorn my ballet shoes. Then when no one was looking, I went dancing.
