“CLAIM THE FAME”

▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.▶.

Second Life is a virtual world of endless possibilities, with many useful tools as means to add a touch of reality to unachievable dreams and aspirations.  This pixel life opens doors which can help many to find hope and confidence to become more successful in the flesh existence we know as real life.

We all have at one time or another been possessed by the deep desire for the glamorous lifestyle lived by those who we perceive to have it all, those such as the glamorous designers as Karl Largerfeld, Domenico Dolce, Stefano Gabbana, Frida Giannini and Marc Jacobs.

It takes hard work, creativity, and a true passion for fabulous designs to achieve success as a fashion designer, but you can break into this career much more quickly and easily with the amazing package up for grabs in Second Life’s answer to the hit show “Project Runway”.

SL Art Couture in association with Metaverse TV and supported by BOSL Magazine have come up with this truly amazing project called “Claim the Fame”.  It offers new aspiring designers and those who have not yet found recognition within the virtual marketplace, the chance at becoming a well known and respected brand.

The winner of this contest will expect to enjoy not ONLY 100,000 L$ cash, not only both the front cover and 6 page fashion spread of an issue with SL Art Couture Kult Magazine, not only a 6 monthly advertisement campaign in the SL Art Couture Magazine, not only a custom made fashion show with custom built catwalk and top fashion models with the SL Art Couture production team, but also a huge promotional campaign, advice and support from some well known and respected members of the fashion industry within Second Life.

To take part in this amazing adventure on offer, applicants need to submit an application and attend a casting, broadcasted also in Metaverse TV.  From these castings 20 lucky contestants will be carefully selected to participate with the ambition to “Claim to Fame” of aspiring to Second Life’s next top designer.

There will be in total 15 live televised shows every wednesday over a 16 weeks period of creative bliss as the lucky competitor’s work their magic aiming to make through each round and to claim the winning place, of which there is only one spot.  Will that be you who claims the fame?

New Releases and a unbelievable Christmas Special at Mea Culpa!!!

by

Yes it is true, Tatanka Kaligawa, designer of Mea Culpa, again created 4 new designs for Mea Culpa. 2 of them I want to show you today. The other 2 left I will for sure blog here also so keep tuned!

The first one I wanna showcase today is the “Bionic Symbiosis” which we can see also in the first picture above 🙂

“Bionic Symbiosis” is a wonderful gown that again shows the incredible skills and ideas of Tatanka Kaligawa if it comes to new ideas of fashion and couture. The dress it self has a very tight dress and skirt beginning that ends in a firework of huge flexible prims the more it goes down to the ground. The color is made in a wide scale of green and black. The layers are not made of a simple plain texture, it is a wonderful combination of different ornaments and colors that make this gown to something special, to a piece of art we know the designs of Mea Culpa for. The wrist sleeves are also decorated with 2 huge wrist prims that repeat the main theme of the dress in a very interesting way. All the attached prims are kinds wavy and for sure the huge and extraordinary hat add another ‘wow’ effect to the whole design.

The second new release is called “Wind of Change” and it really brings in some fresh wind onto the fashion industry 😉

‘This gown is made for a real ladie’s body… very elegant but also extravagant! The awesome combination of pink and black will let every fashionistas heart beat higher 😉


Let’s take a closer look on all that wonderful details… the basic skirt layer is an opaque tight pencil skirt that goes down to the ground. Spikes decorate the creation on the right hand side leg and add a lightly dangerous and goth style. The top under the jacket has a light transparent around the basic laced texture. The jacket reminds me on an old english uniform jacket even if it is made like a modern bolero jacket 😉 A huge, pink neck collar the puffy arm sleeves and the wonderful hat set this design also for a perfect winter outfit! at th belly button you have a nother detailed prim attachment with a huge purple ge in its center. If you take a look from the side or back you will realize how big that flexible black parts in your back are! The hat has a fur seam and the spikes are repeated from a few tentacle looking long and flexible parts that are longer on the right side then on the left of the hat..again a nice non symmetric detail… 😉

If you look at the texture of the jacket you can see that the Mea Culpa designs are really more than just clothing that every single part is made with love to the detail. All filigree black ornaments the shading of colors, the lights and shadows… simply amazing!

As I said that are only 2 of the newest designs of Tatanka Kaligawa…so stay tuned the other 2 I will review soon 😉 If you cannot wait you can also peek at the Mea Culpa Mainstore!

Now for something special… Mea Culpa decided to have a Christmas Special! Every Wednesday there will be 2 gowns set down to 50%!!! Yes you heard right… half prize! Also one pairs of shoes will be 50%. All 2 items are available 7 days before they change again on the next Wednesday till christmas.

For this week you have the “Polarlight” gown…
