GOTHIC COUTURE

 Each issue of Models Magazine has a Styling Challenge feature.  This is where readers of the magazine are given the opportunity to be included in the magazine to present a fashion styling based on that issue’s challenge theme.  The challenge theme for the Models Magazine November/December 2023 issue was “Gothic Couture.”  This is the photo I submitted for that challenge.

 I was chosen to be in the magazine, and  here are the photos that appeared in the magazine.  The photographer is BonieFacio Resident:

Here is a link to the magazine:  Models Magazine November/December 2023 issue.  The styling challenge feature begins on page 24.  I am on pages 72 to 75.

DARK WAX AT IRRISISTIBLE SHOP

I love the designs at Irrisistible Shop, and there is a new design in the store now, called Dark Wax. This is an elegant and dark gown that comes with accessories with four flowers color options: black roses, red roses, dry roses, and decolored roses. The gown is fitted for mesh bodies Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza.

Here you can see the fantastic and intricate details of this gown. I am wearing the red flowers accessories. There is also a belt that the outfit comes with, and that is a skeleton hand holding a candle that comes out at the waist. I am wearing the gown on Maitreya Lara body.

They come with a texture-change hud with eight color options as well as the option to include runic scripts, and, best of all, they have an actual bird skull that sits on the middle finger of both hands! I absolutely LOVE these nails!Thank you Slackgirl!

This exquisite Sweet Blossom Spring Carriage is a true piece of craftsmanship, and the horse is very realistic. It also comes in pink, purple, and red, and can be resized. It also comes with several different poses, both for individuals and couples. This set also comes with a carriage sound volume HUD and, if you do the hunt, you get a birdbath.

LUNA BODY ART AT THE INSTRUMENTS

Another round of The Instruments just opened up, with the theme "Urban Code," and Luna Body Art has another fun, forte, and, may I say, racy, set of nails for us, the Urban set for Slink hands and feet. These bold polishes will compliment all the styles in your wardrobe while adding an extra dash of unique excitement.

Here, I am wearing the black/grey/white checkered set.

As usual, Luna Body Art has included ten different polishes in the Slink HUD, ranging from solid black to a purple-and-green check pattern. Here, you can see eight of the different designs available with the HUD.

Again, here is the black/grey/white checkered set I especially like in a much closer and detailed look.

Here is the HUD with all the nail polish choices available.

The Instruments always has great designers with many fine designs. You have until April 25 to take advantage of these offerings.

A NOTE OF INTEREST: Each time before I post a blog, I check to make sure all the landmarks and Marketplace links are accurate.

CROW QUEEN

This was a most enjoyable styling, since, as many of you know, I am a gothic girl in first life.

This look was chosen as one of the winners of the ModeLS Magazine October issue horror styling challenge. This look and all the winners can be found here, as well as several other features and events.

This is a very detailed and complicated style, each individual piece lending a seamless contribution to the whole.

Madrid Solo is tops when it comes to avante garde makeup, and she did another excellent job here, with the Crows Feet, which actually is a male design, which of course, doesn't matter at all to me when it is such a fantastic contribution to this style.

And, here is the look featured in ModeLS Magazine:
