Mea Culpa – “Way to Purgatory”

by

“Way to Purgatory” is one of the latest designs from Mea Culpa. Now you will ask yourself ‘I saw that gown already before’ and yes you did 😉 “Way to Purgatory” was one of the 2 amazing gowns that were sold in the Halloween special. If you were not one of the lucky ones that got it that time… no worries. You can now get yours for the regular prize in the Mea Culpa Mainstore.

Lets take a closer look at the gown…

It is a firework of textures and prims that again show the great skills of Tatanka Kaligawa, if it comes to design and ideas. The basic color might be black but it is ornamented and decorated with so many shades, shows and lights… simply wonderful. The attachments of the body move in a dreamy way. The great huge prim attachments at the head, round the neck and the hips carry a wonderful texture that breaks the black character of the gown in a perfect way. To see what else is new, make your way to the Mea Culpa Mainstore 😉 Belive me… it is worth it :p

New shoes at Mea Culpa!!!

by

Again Tatanka Kaligawa, designer of Mea Culpa, added 3 more pair of shoes to his collection 🙂

“Hawk”, the one you can see on the pic above is one of them. I guess the talons of a raptor could be the inspiration for this amazing pair of heels. The silver, metal and black totally underlines the strong vibe this new design has!

The “Shanghai” shoes were/are part of the great winning gown “Shanghai Noon” that won the ‘One in a million’ contest a while ago. Now you can purchase those amazing pair of shoes single as well!!! I would like to call this heels as a piece of art. If you take a closer look at them, you can see all the awesome details like the flowers, the wonderful made textures and the special filigree decorated heels!

The “Ballroom” shoes you might remember from an older post… fo some short time they were a special free gift, but now they are back and if you missed it you can purchase this beautiful and elegant pair regular in the Mea Culpa Mainstore 🙂

Wonderful dark news by Ezura!!!

by

Right in time for Halloween,  Ezura released a stunning dark goth gown, the “Marceline”gown. Sure, not only to use for Halloween but it would fit for that as well perfectly 😉

The gown has a very classy and elegant touch. The mixture of the floating and shining skirt goes perfectly to the ornamented fabric of the top. The huge neckcollar has wonderful tentacles that fawn awesome over the cleavage. What caught my eyes are the 2 cool skulls that make the shoulder parts. round the hips we have some cute ruffles that make a perfect contrast to the skills and tentacles and add a lightly playful touch. The gown has various possibilities to be worn for the skirt part.

Version number one, has a long skirt and this incredible tentacles at the bottom. The skirt reaches the floor and with the tentacles it nearly looks as you hover over the floor a bit and gives a little mystical touch.

For sure a mermaid skirt version cannot miss for this elegant gown.  Just take the tentacles off and you have a very sophisticated skirt that will be totally perfect for every kind of sophisticated event 🙂 You even could remove the huge neckcollar and only wear the top tentacles, but I am so in love with it so I just could not take it off :p

If you like it even more classy you can wear the long skirt that starts from the hips and goes more and more wide till it reaches the bottom. The gloves are as well part of the outfit. If you wanna keep it very simple you just take off all skirt prims and wear the skirt layer only. The gown can be purchased in black like you see it in the post or even in red and purple.

The incredible beautiful horns can be part of your dark queen outfit as well. Named like the dress the “Marceline” horns match awesome to the dress and adda again some more darkness and goth. Little skulls underline the theme and they are made with such love for the detail, so we again can say how much time and love Ezura puts in her creations.

What could match better to such an amazing gown as the “Noir” jewelry set from Finesmith Design. The shape of the earrings and the collar goes perfect with the tentacles of the “Marceleine gown!

You do not have a Halloween outfit yes and already invited to a great party? Make your way to the Ezura Mainstore and you will find the perfect outfit for you I am sure 😉

“One in a Million Contest”: Mea Culpa – “Shanghai Noon” could grab the win!!!

by

As well designed for the “One in a million” contest, I would like to showcase the second design Tatanka Kaligawa made for this challenge.

This gown comes with all parts you can see. The hair and shows are part of the outfit and even the amazing jewelry. What I was not able to show on the pics, the gemstones of the jewelry have a very tricky and great texture. It is glittering and glimmering kinda like an animated texture! I rarely saw such before and it really caught my attention. The same texture is repeated on the little balls that are attached on the shoulders. Such a shame that you cannot catch that in a picture but if you make your way to the Mea Culpa Mainstore and get this fabulous gown you can see it 😉 as well you can IM me and I will come to the store and show you :). The name already tells some about the idea that was behind that gown – it has a huge asia touch ;). The wonderful fan with the spikes on the right hip and the wonderful flowers that remind on orchids… simply amazing!

The gown can be worn in 3 different versions. I tried to catch all possibilities with keeping one pose to show you what the changes are. Above you can see the first version. For this one you just wear the skirt layer and a special provided leggings under it.

Second possibility would be the so-called mermaid version. For that you just add the prims on the bottom of the skirt combined with the stomach attached prim and the skirt layer.

The last option would be a pants version. For that one you will find an extra made pants layer in your folder that is lightly different to the leggings for the skirt. The incredible hip attachment with the long trains for left and right go well with all versions of them but for sure you can experiment with it as you please. The wonderful shoes are as well part of that outfit as I said and they come with the Mea Culpa HUD to match your skintone perfectly. This outfit really is something special with all the possibilities to wear and all the additions you will get if you purchase that outfit!

Mea Culpa – “Broken Mirror”

by

Again we have incredible news at Mea Culpa. Designed for the ‘One in a million’ contest “Broken Mirror” was the outfit Tatanka Kaligawa made to enter.

“Broken Mirror” is a incredible, extraordinary, modern and fresh creation. The prims and sculpties are textured with perfection and the layers are beautiful fabrics that needed very filigree and unique work. The awesome glasses, earrings and shoes are as well part of the outfit.

The prims have an amazing shine that makes the whole design very realistic. The shoes – as always for Mea Culpa shoes – have a HUD that is included as well, what lets you match the skin of the bare foot to your own skin tone. As well you can change the toe nail color.

Mea Culpa goes Fetish Fashion!

by

As I promised in my last Mea Culpa post, there is another amazing outfits of the new Mea Culpa X-Treme line. Tatanka Kaligawa himself named it Fetish Fashion and created a new line beside the Avantgarde and Couture designs in his store.

Again we can see the basic fabric is kinda latex and for the “Black Mamba” we have those wonderful long and flexible tentacles all over. What caught my eye is the cool hat that looks very stylish to the whole outfit . A very sexy touch is given by the body and the opaque stockings that are held by garters and show lots of skin 😉

The absolute perfect jewelry for this outfit in my opinion is the “Noir” set from Finesmith Designs. The lashes are as well part of the “Noir” set of Finesmith Designs and go well along with the collar, the earings and the nails of the same collection.

Exciting News at Mea Culpa – A special new line at the Mainstore!

by

Tatanka Kaligawa designed a new line for his store with very daring and extravagant designs – the X – Treme line. Fabrics like latex and vinyl show their fashionable side 😉 “Time Warp” is one of the new collection at Mea Culpa and the one I wanna write about today 🙂 As you can see in the pic above the basic of the gown is a latex fabric. With all this great lightening it really gets a very realistic touch what is usually not that easy to make in SL. All the silver and metal parts make a very cool and modern look for the whole outfit. What caught my eyes is all this great attachment parts… the awesome curled spikes that go from the waist to the sides and again they are part of the head piece, the crossed belt, the flexible skirt parts that repeat in the head part and the ankle parts. The gown comes as well with a great steel collar that fits perfect to the whole design 🙂 For the shoes, I chose one pair of the lates shoe release at Mea Culpa as well… they are called “Trex” and I already had them in one of my older posts :)They just perfect matched the black and metal style for me 🙂

“Time Warp” is not the only new design of the new collection so stay tuned… more is coming 😉

Shoe Mania at Mea Culpa – Part III

by

A few ago Tatanka Kaligawa again created new objects of desire for us ladies… Shoes!!!

The “Bullet” shoes are the first of 8 new pairs of shoes out of Mea Culpas latest shoe release. The delicate fabric decorated with this amazing rings are perfect to wear for any style you want. The heels are not just simple heels, again we can see the love for details, wich Tatanka always adds on his creations. As always you can change the nail color to every color you can think of with the great HUD that always is included if you buy Mea Culpa shoes.

“Burlesque” is one of the 2 pairs that shoes no toes and is closed in the front. Never the less you have a possibility to use the great HUD to change the color of the little filigree flowers on the outside of the shoes.

The 3rd pair of shoes is called “Diabolo”. ‘The very expensive fabric really caught my eye on that one. Again we have kinda peep toes on this one and the nails color again can be changed with the HUD. The sweet lines with the bow in the front as well make a nice decoration 🙂 and the top part honors the shoes name, looking lightly diabolic 😉

The “Empire” design for me has a very playful touch with the neat ruffles at the top and the bottom part of the shoes. The wooden sole and the metal rings make a great addition and give this pair or shoes a very special touch.

Our next object of desire is called “Poison”. Very special for me on this creation is the light glow that goes over the shoes. You nearly get the imagination of a wonderful crystal decoration. The sole and heel are made of a metallic looking fabric. With all this amazing details and the special fabric, they are a little piece of art.

“Quasar” is one of my personal favourites with the cool fabric that looks kinda vinyl  and the huge spikes. A really cool pair of shoes that really should not miss in a  fashionistas shoe cupboard 😉 it as well comes with the great HUD that Mea Culpa always provides for their shoes.

The “Speed” design all the steel and chains really make this style interesting. A few color parts that you can change in color with the HUD make it possible to match this pair of shoes to every kind of outfit.

Last but not least I have my total personal favourite pair of shoes out of the 3rd Mea Culpa Shoe Mania… “Trex” have a real interesting fabric the reminds me of reptile skin. The ankle parts and the big spike in the back totally catched my eyes and I fell in love with that pair of shoes. Again of you take a closer look at the heals you can see the love for the detail that Mea Culpa shows off in almost all creations. The 3 steel lines make an awesome match to the whole style.

So ladies… grab your purse and make your way to the Mea Culpa Mainstore 😉
