Mea Culpa – Hot Flamenco Nights? ;)

by

Latest news from Mea Culpa 🙂 I am happy to be allowed to show you the last 2 creations of Tatanka Kaligawa, designer and owner of Mea Culpa. The first one is called “Baile Flamenco” and it really is what it is called. A wonderful red gown with a long train in the back, awesome ruffle parts and decorated with beautiful flowers.

If you take a closer look you can see how much Tatanka cares about details and the eye for the extravagant styles. The ruffles are wonderful made with shadows and lights and the flowers add an amazing “Flamenco Feeling” 😉 The head decoration as well made of flowers is part of the whole outfit.

The second outfit carries the wonderful name “Night Spell” and it is a very elegant and extravagant gown. Petals and ranks are all over the black beauty. The skirt and the hat are mainly opaque while the top has a wonderful laced part, that I would like to show a little closer.

The delicate lace top shows again the amazing skills of Tatanka Kaligawa if it comes to ideas and texturing 🙂 round the waist additional to the great flexible prims you have kinda golden belt, very filigree and again in shape of many little petals. The wonderful veil adds again some elegance 🙂 As well Mea Culpa released some new shows but this will be one of my next posts 😉

Tatanka Kaligawa again shows his great designing skills in a nother wonderful creation of a wedding dress. Made for an awesome wedding this gown was made for a very special lady and now it is available in the store for all of us. 🙂 “Priceless Wedding”…

The big train is amazing flexible and if you take a closer look at all the details of the upper part… that lovely texture for the corsage, the amazing prims that make this bridal gown to something special and fashionable… the wonderful head piece… simply stunning. It would be a pity to wear that amazing gown just once, so I decided it also can be a wonderful ball gown with the very special touch I love so much. And it is not made in pure white so… no need to just wear it once in your life or only for a wedding 😉

And we have another fantastic gown named “Fairytale Queen”. Inspired by a wonderful gown that Monica Belluci was wearing in the movie “the Bothers Grimm” playing the Evil Queen.

A total eye catcher is the huge head piece for sure…

The “Fairytale Queen” is a very sophisticated gown with a big train in the back as well as the “Priceless Wedding”. The dark brocade red is broken with a lot of facile textures in gold and multicolored. The wide arm sleeves give a very sophisticated look. Make sure you make your way to the Mea Culpa Mainstore and take a look at all the new outfits you will find there… I am sure you will find one that suits you best and that you like 😉

Nefertiti Kimagawa – Sneak Preview of 2 new outfits :)

by

Lately I met Nefertiti Kimagawa herself and she showed me 2 of her amazing new creations that will be released in January 2011. I really enjoyed them and had the great pleasure that she gave them to me 🙂

First I would like to show the incredible “Amalia” outfits also shown in the first pic above. A wonderful couture outfit that also has a very sexy touch. The skirt and top part are made of great sculpted prims and look like big petals of a flower. The top part just covers the needed spots and also a shirt layer makes sure you not get into trouble 😉 A wonderful red roses belt breaks the black basic of the outfit and makes a great eyecatcher.

Another great highlight is the amazing hat…

… it is also included in the outfit. The hat repeats the great black petals and also a red rose repeats the color of the amazing belt 🙂

The second outfit is called “Blackliquid II”

A wonderful black short costume. On the first look very simple looking but if you take a closer look you will see the sweet and nice textures and all the awesome attachments that make this outfit to something special. A total highlight is the great head pice… and yes I am addicted to extra parts that make a special touch 😉

A wonderful little hat that carries neat flexible parts that move so lovely with every step you take. The same flexi parts you also can find on the great neck attachment, attached to the prim collar of the jacket.

So make sure to stay alert to the notices and new releases of Nefertiti Kimagawa 🙂

Couture Alert at 3636 & Sneak Preview on a new Body Talking Set!

by

We all know dianny36 Aeon as a fabulous hair designer… but she has more skills than only hair 😉 For the great McQueen Tribute she made a magnificant dress and hair!

“You will be in my heart” is the name of this fantastic dress combined with the great matching hair and hat.

The dress is a masterpiece of art and shows the fantastic creativity of dianny36 Aeon, designer of 3636! The skirt is a plain long white one that makes the basic for that stunning and amazing sculpted prim flowers that round the hips, hold by a 2 striped black belt that breaks the white color. The top has only 2 sweet lines over the shoulder what lets enough room for an amazing jewelry… for me it was the “Ambrosia I” black pearls set from Alienbear. also included are the white gloves that give a classy touch to the whole dress. Sure you will think this gown it very difficult with poses… but even that dianny thought of and included 5 great poses to match this dress! Let’s take a look at the great hair and hat, also made by dianny36 Aeon. It is all one piece so you do not have any trouble with the attachment points 😉 The base is a long pony tail hairstyle what is decorated with an amazing high hat that underlines the style of the dress perfect and the face is covered by an awesome black laced veil, what is also part of the hairstyle. This dress in combination with the hat definitely has a very sophisticated and stylish touch that honors the work of Alexander McQueen and makes a great tribute to him!

Another cute couture design is the “Couture-Poker Face” outfit. A short dress with a balloon shaped skirt.

The whole dress is made of cards! The only non card part is the belt that makes the center of this sweet outfit. The skirt has a balloon shaped form and you really can imagine to steal one of that little cards 😉 Again dianny shows of her great skills in building and designing with this dress that is made of a such a lot single prims and each one carries a great texture.

Perfect for posing this outfit will be the “Balloon” pose set from Body Talking by Arisia Ashmoot that will be released soon… I was allowed to use the poses for this gown as a sweet sneak preview 😉 Thanks Ari! 🙂
