Marita Overland:”This outfit ensemble is entitled “Underworld” by Runway Couture. Taking a note from the leading lady from the film,Wicca is wearing the female slayer outfit. She is ready to kick some butt in her leather body suit adorned with gold inlay, rubies and chains. The near knee-length boots are matching this ensemble  in black leather and gold inlay and rubies. The short mini skirt with gold chevrons, rubies and chains, are sure to catch that beast off his guard as she slays him with her storm of fire balls.

Harsch  is the target on the slayer’s radar, in his large chest armor and tentacles adorned with gold and leather. His belt sits atop his hybrid bottom half with rubies and gold chain and male silks, matching his arm braces. His claws are long and yellow on both his hands and feet. He wears a face mask. also adorned with matching accents. Even with all his armor he is no match for Wicca Slayer !”

Lately Nefertiti Kimagawa surprised me with a huge honor… she named on e of her latest creations after me:) For sure I am very glad that I may show it to you on my blog now 🙂

“Wicca” is a lightly futuristic looking dress with a huge skirt, that ends at the waist in a wide belt with sweet little buttons. The top part is kinda longsleeve shirt with a cute ornament on the left chest side that gives a light officer touch as it look like medals or distinction insignia 😉 What totally caught me was the incredible helmet that is made of so many prims that it even needs 2 attachment points 😉

The veil of the helmet seemed to be made of little chains that still allow a little peek out and inside 🙂 The lovely feathers in the back and the sharp spikes on top make a wonderful contrast for this helmet. For the males Nefer created a matching outfit called “Seth” 🙂 But “Wicca” & “Seth” are not the only new release at Nefertiti Kimagawa’s Mainstore so better take a look by yourself !

by

Yes, Mea Culpa is now one year on the grid and still Tatanka Kaligawa surprises us with new and incredible awesome designs 😉 On of the latest releases is called “Leaves of Life”. A wonderful elegant outfit hat comes with the gorgeous hat with that long tentacles on top 🙂 The gown itself, is a firework of textures. The skirt falls down in 2 parts and give an interesting and stunning view from the back. The 2 back attachments that really love like big petals or leafs add a  very interesting and for sure head turning touch. The prim parts are so amazingly textured, what again shows the wonderful skills of Tatanka Kaligawa, if it comes to texturing and designing 🙂 The layers match perfectly to the prims and some stunning “holes” let peek through very sexy a bit of skin 😉 The mixture of all the blue, green, teal and gold makes this gown as well to a perfect design for the actual season 😉

If you make your way to the Mea Culpa Mainstore do not forget to add the place to your pics section of your profile to get the beautiful anniversary gown “Sugar Candy”, that Tatanka Kaligawa made for the first birthday of Mea Culpa as a gift and thank you for all his customers 🙂

You will find that dress at the “Get your shopping card” board including a 10% discount card for another purchase.

But now let’s have a closer look on the dress I stole out of his laboratory to give you a sneak preview…

This dress is such a sweet idea to celebrate the first birthday of Mea Culpa. The short dress is a shows off very sexy the long legs and the texture of the clothing layers have an awesome shine. It is like you can feel the sun reflecting on each part of the dress. The shoulder prims add a light playful touch and the ornament on the chest make a lovely highlight. The neck collar as well is made as an attached prim. For me the hat is a total eye catcher. It looks like a neat umbrella that is directly worn on the head and so the name of the dress that I could see on a little piece of paper totally first for this design. “Sugar Candy” MeaCulpa‘s first anniversary dress is named and I am sure you will not miss it to get your “Sugar Candy” on Thursday the 21st at the Mea Culpa Mainstore!!!

Mayden Ushimawa:”To make the “Monica” dress I was inspired by a memorable evening of spring. The dominant color is white, this is a pure color and different from the usual formal dress. Lace makes the dress most elegant. The collar with plumes and the flexi skirt gives movement to the dress.

For the “Brian” outfit I took inspiration from the very beautiful RL models, with a perfect body and a face to be kissed all over. For this reason I created this outfit. It gives the impression of a man who has just escaped from a crowd of girls, a bit messy and not even having the time to wear his jacket.”

Marita Overland:”Wicca wears a lovely white gown consisting of a scuplted top and half skirt.  You can’t help but notice the stylish silver armor on the shoulders and waist along with a structured bow in the back.  As if the skirt wasn’t elegant enough, it glitters even more with a second layer of fabric.  The shoes are also included in this romantic, yet edgy, ensemble.

Harsch is wearing the “Romeo” version of the formal wear. A miliary style jacket and pants, in white and gray, are a wonderful compliment to his “Juliet”.  The jacket is adorned with a high collar, cuffs, armored shoulders and belt.  The boots are also included with the outfit you see here.  Seemingly for seeing his own fate, the belt includes the poison he will take his own life with and the dagger Juliet will use to perish herself. True love never looked so stylish.”

Lexi Vargas, designer of  Brocade Tiger, brought a neat firework of amazing textures with the “clockwork” couple outfit that was not just formal in my view 😉 As well I saw a light steampunk touch in that as well what really touched my soul 😉

Lexi Vargas:”‘Lady Clockwork’, a striking formal gown in the Steampunk tradition. A three-layered skirt gives depth with two layers of striped fabric topped with a draped and partially jeweled top layer in the signature clock print fabric. The fitted, square necked bodice is a combination of the striped and print fabrics and the same theme carries into the beautifully shaped and traditionally fitted sleeves embellished with puffs at shoulder, elbow and wrist. The whole ensemble is drawn together by a semi opaque bow and drape effect that makes a dramatic silk waterfall down one side of the gown. Sure to be an eyecatcher at any formal event where Steampunk/Victorian dress is required.

The male model strikes a dashing note in ‘Lord Gear’, a formal outfit that has its roots steeped in Steampunk tradition. There is much attention to detail in this suit. A duel fabric jacket of chocolate leather and striped fabric skims the shoulder line, with the same effect carried into the pants. These clever styling details make for a simply stunning outfit. The jacket lapels and collar are decorated with gears and cogs and the pants with buckles and straps. A cream satin edged shirt with frilled jabot collar and brooch completes the look. This outfit could be worn at any suitable formal occasion enabling the wearer to stand out from the crowd and it would certainly delight any Steampunk gentleman worth his cogs.”

Inga Wind, Designer of Inga Wind Designs, started with “Penelope” and “Bartelby”, a wonderful details and lovely looking couple outfit.

Inga Wind:”Penelope” is an amazing blue formal dress. The basic is made in a non symmetrical manner that makes a bare right shoulder while the left shoulder is decorated with an amazing detailed sculpted prim. The top layer has a very elegant texture that is broken by an awesome lace stripe that runs diagonal from the right upper to the left hip.
The skirt as well continues the non symmetric look. On the left side it goes further down with a wonderful ornamented sheer texture that is framed by an opaque looking satin border and the left is lightly shorter.
Gloves, shoes and the lovely headpiece come with the whole outfit so you have no trouble to match the right color and look.

“Bartelby” was made to match “Penelope” perfectly. The black basic makes a wonderful tailcoat with amazing flexible prims in the back, where the seams carry the same texture that you already saw on “Penelope” as well the little neat bow tie. The white shirt shows off folds and shadows in a very realistic way. Collar, bow tie, cuffs and Sleeves are made of sculpted prims what ad as well a very realistic touch. The black pants complete the elegant male look and the sash round the waist again shows off the amazing blue texture decorated with filigree ornaments and buttons.
“Penelope” & “Bartelby” are the perfect couple for the perfect couple :)”
