THE FANTASY ANGELS IN BLOOM 2020



We are delighted to welcome Roxanne Fyanucci to the stage, and I am sure you can agree she looks delicate, dazzling and dreamlike in her spring ensemble. There are too many colors and blooms to mention, but collectively Roxanne has without a doubt succeeded in putting the bloom into flowers!

Roxanne is wearing the Seduce Lingerie and Cupcake by MC, Bianca Wings by Lyrical Bizarre  and Momo Yuri B-Wings by irrISIStible. Her heels are from Magula with rings from Avaway and Yummy. Her armlets, belly chain and bracelet are from the Jessica collection, also from Avaway. Finally the petals around our model are from Foxcity.

This is what Roxanne had to say about her look today. “I love spring when nature awakens. She makes us happy and she lightens our hearts and feelings through the green garment that the earth wears, the flowers that bloom, the birds that sing and the sun that shines.”

Background : 

For this challenge, I looked at the links provided and I knew exactly what I wanted to style.
I imagined myself a beautiful day of skiing and an evening in the most smart and the trendiest club where to relax and to party with the music. A mix of fashion music and Haute Couture style.
Styling and shooting photo were made the same day, the day we received the notecard. and 3 days later, my pictures were ready.
I have this magic relation with my SL sister Asia Rae, when I ask her for a shooting, she always accept. This time, I just told her my styling will be silver and white with some feathers, and she just look at me when I arrived for the shooting and without I say nothing more, we were connected on the same way and she realise exactly the background I imagine.

We share the same passions about mountains and ski and I'm very gratefully to have Asia in my SL life, and supporting each other.

[*K*] Boho ring collection Bento
Swallow - Pixie ears
[MANDALA] - Takara bangle purple

Background : 

I was inspired by the Breton Legend of Dahut. Also called Ahes, she was a princess present in several Breton legends.
In the story of the drowning of Ys, the king's daughter Dahut is the cause, and she becomes a sea morgen.

Mari morgans are Welsh and Breton water spirits that drown men. They may lure men to their death by their own sylphic beauty, or with glimpses of underwater gardens with buildings of gold or crystal. They are also blamed for heavy flooding that destroys crops or villages. 
The morgens are eternally young, and like sirens they sit in the water and comb their hair seductively. 


Tales of morgens are preserved in the British countryside, even in some parts of South West England. One example from western Somerset has a fisherman adopt an infant morgen, only to lose her when she grows up and returns to her parents' underwater palace.

Background story :

For this Urban second skin styling, I inspired myself about some stylist as Yohji Yamamoto, Sebastian Gunawan and Issey Miyake. I keep in mind the styling must be dynamic with an athletic and urban edge. So I mixed men and women outfits, for a natural look with some original touch on it. Roxaane is a dynamic and natural woman and don't hesitate to go out his confort zone to innovate with this urban winter styling, mixing sand and camels tones, soft lines and she's ready for his favorite season.

MVW 2018 - 1st Photo Challenge -

Barnum and Bailey was the most famous circus in the world. From the trapeze, clowns, contortionists, Jugglers, and talents animals; It was by far the most entertaining show on earth. There were also other circuses that brought more focus upon the choreography and contortionists are of bringing the style and wow of the big top circus yet it showed that style and grace ruled also. You were now tasked with presenting each act that would come out and perform for the audience. Being the announcer/presenter of the Barnum and Bailey Circus meets Cirque De Soleil you know you have to be somewhat of a spectacle yourself.

╰☆╮Quand le ciel tombe en pluie de pastels...╰☆╮

Ma cabane. 
Lys de Mai -

Autour de ma cabane en bois, 
cachée derrière les herbes folles,
les saisons font la farandole et chantent la ronde des mois.
Si le toit n'est que de chaume,
le ciel tombe en pluie de pastels,
plus loin mûrit la mirabelle, 
et ma cabane rit sous l'orme.
Si le lit n'est que de paille,
dehors il y a la mousse, épaisse et tendre vers la source qui s'enfuit sous la broussaille.
Oui je regarde avec douceur
ces murs désuets et sordides,
mais je les trouve bien solides,
car ils suffisent à mon bonheur.

╰☆╮L'échouée╰☆╮

Barque échouée 

Barque échouée au bord des rivages bretons, 
J'ai désappris l'essor de mes jeunes sillages,
Et laissé sur mes flancs se nouer en festons,
Vos scalps souillés d'écume, ô goémons des plages.

Il ne m'importe plus si d'autres les refont,
Mes croisières d'antan, mes belles odyssées,
Promises au lent trépas des carènes blessées,
J'abandonne le large à celles qui s'en vont.

Ni  l'aile des courtis que le matin soulève,
Ni l'émoi de la mer sous un vierge soleil,
Ne peuvent, dans mon être à la tombe pareil,
Faire sourdre un regret ou tressaillir un rêve.

Je vois partir mes soeurs à la pointe du jour,
Je les vois revenir aux premières étoiles,
Sans envier le chant que gonflent dans leurs toiles,
La fièvre du départ et l'orgueil du retour.

- Anatole LE BRAZ -
