Today I am very happy to showcase one of the latest Mea Culpa releases. The “Call of the Sirene” outfit again is a little piece of art of Tatanka Kaligawa, owner and designer of Mea Culpa.
The “Call of the Sirene” outfit was made for the last Fashion Teller and it’s inspiration were the historical Sirens.
In Greek mythology, the Sirens were dangerous and devious creatures, portrayed as femmes fatales who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. Roman poets placed them on some small islands called Sirenum scopuli. In some later, rationalized traditions, the literal geography of the “flowery” island of Anthemoessa, or Anthemusa, is fixed: sometimes on Cape Pelorum and at others in the islands known as the Sirenuse, near Paestum, or in Capreae. All such locations were surrounded by cliffs and rocks.
When the Sirens were given a name of their own they were considered the daughters of the river god Achelous, fathered upon Terpsichore, Melpomene, Sterope, or Chthon. Although they lured mariners, for the Greeks the Sirens in their “meadow starred with flowers” were not sea deities. Roman writers linked the Sirens more closely to the sea, as daughters of Phorcys. Sirens are found in many Greek stories, particularly in Homer’s Odyssey.
Their number is variously reported as between two and five. In the Odyssey, Homer says nothing of their origin or names, but gives the number of the Sirens as two. Later writers mention both their names and number: some state that there were three, Peisinoe, Aglaope, and Thelxiepeia or Parthenope, Ligeia, and Leucosia; Eustathius states that they were two, Aglaopheme and Thelxiepeia. Their individual names are variously rendered in the later sources as Thelxiepeia/Thelxiope/Thelxinoe, Molpe, Aglaophonos/Aglaope/Aglaopheme, Pisinoe/Peisinoë/Peisithoe, Parthenope, Ligeia, Leucosia, Raidne, and Teles.
The Sirens of Greek mythology are often confused with the Gorgons portrayed in later folklore as half women–half birds, (birds sing beautiful, enchanting songs, like the sirens are portrayed to do); the fact that in Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Romanian and Portuguese the word for mermaid is respectively Sirena, Sirène, Sirena, Syrena, Sirenă and Sereia, and that in biology the Sirenia comprise an order of fully aquatic mammals that includes the dugong and manatee, add to the visual confusion, so that Sirens are even represented as mermaids. However, “the sirens, though they sing to mariners, are not sea-maidens,” Jane Ellen Harrison has cautioned; “they dwell on an island in a flowery meadow.

Today I was again in a strange mood. As I yesterday started to style the new “Aphrodisia” dress from Fellini Couture, I had something romantic lightly vintage with a huge hat in mind. I have no clue why, but while I was entering SL and staring at the login screen, that always shows you your last picture I came across a totally different vision.
Maybe it had to do as well that I listened to one of my favourite bands the whole day. One song of Evanescence was very close to me for a long time. That’s why I linked “Bring me back to life” in the beginning as it kinda was a huge part of my inspiration for the pictures and look.
But now lets take a look on the wonderful “Aphrodisia” dress from Fellini Couture and the whole look around it. The “Aphrodisia” dress is a white and very romantic dress with lots of amazing and different textures. The mixture of filigree lace, the opaque ornamented parts and the flowers makes this dress to a little piece of art. Joy Fellini again shows why she is on top of the SL fashion scene for such a long time with her genius ideas and incredible skills.
Right beside on top of the fashion heaven, we have yula Finesmith, owner and designer of Finesmith. She released not too long ago a wonderful male collection and the parts I am wearing today I took out of this one. I did not see any reason, if males can wear female jewelry, why the girls cannot wear the male jewelry :p. I just had to resize the “Heartology” necklace for sure as it was way bigger for a males neck :). The “Heartology” wings I took like they are without any changes.
The awesome hat is part of the “Halloween Horror Collection” if hats from Bliss Couture. Amutey DeCuir made a super cool hat collection for Halloween 2011 and I see no reason why we cannot use them during the year if it matches :p.
Maybe if you look at the pics while you hear the song you can get a part of my mood that I had, while I was doing this pictures. The first time I dared to make my own fog and parts of the hair and I am amazed what came out after all this hours between looking at tutorials, reading advises and try & error 🙂 For sure it is not the end of the scale, but a wonderful new start for me to work on even more pictures 🙂

(Angel Dessous – “Wicca” /darknight red & darknight black, Picture by Miss Cherie Parker)
A few weeks ago I was talking to Nando Korobase, designer of Angel Dessous, and we had a lot of fun with weird thoughts. I do not remember exactly how we came on it but suddenly Nando said, that if he ever has a weird and crazy idea for a gown he will name it after me. Of course I felt honored big time… but as I was knowing, that he has tons and tons of work with challenge gowns and new releases, I did not expect it to happen very soon. Still a smile on my face we talked for a little more and some when I left his laboratory.
(Angel Dessous – “Wicca” /darknight red)
I nearly had forgotten about it as suddenly during my LeeZu shift, Nando IMed me and said he might have done an outfit that is so crazy that it could wear my name… I do not need to mention that every second till the end of my shift felt like hours. I was so horrible curious and excited I nearly could not wait… After 10 more minutes, that felt like 10 more hours, I left LeeZu and ran over to Angel Dessous, up to Nando’s laboratory. What I saw, as he showed me was taking my breath away… This fantastic gown should wear my name… a dream of mine came true, as I saw him there with the new dress. The shoulder parts edgy with little hovering balls on it wich are repeated at the waist part down the skirt. A wonderful textured skirt part longer in the back then in the front with an amazing laced end at the bottom. An awesome top with this little filigree lace parts at the bottom of the cleavage. The beautiful gloves with these amazing prim parts above the elbows and the wrists – I really was speechless.

Then he told me about the 3 different color combinations as I still was staring at the new “Wicca” dress. I heard him saying that he wanted me to model it and make a picture of it for the release… I still was dreaming, but at the same time my mind started working what I could do with this amazing dress for a picture and there my trouble started. Something came in my mind and got stuck there, so that no other idea had any chance. As I wanted to show at least 2 versions of the dress I wanted to pull myself, at my hair, out of a mirror. I tried and tried but nothing could satisfy my idea… I was close to pull my hair in RL, as I had this idea in my mind and just could not really realize it like I wanted to. Then Cherie Parker came into my mind. I adore her for her pictures since forever and in the very past she made me a wonderful picture… she was the one, she could do it! I IMed her telling her my problem. She was very nice as always and in the end she said she would try. A few days later I met her and she snapped a lot of poses and positions of both versions of the “Wicca” dress with me in it :p I again was hell nervous and excited aboutthe result. Cherie must have felt that, because she was really fast with my picture, even if she had so much work for other projects. One evening she IMed me, telling me she would have my picture and as she sent it tome I nearly freaked out – it was exactly what I wanted!!! (if you scroll back to the beginning of this post you can see the pic :P) At this point again thank you Cherie for realizing my weird idea!!! As well thank you to Nando for realizing one of my dreams to have an outfit from Angel Dessous that carries my name 🙂 If you like the “Wicca” dress as much as I do, you should make your way to the Angel Dessous Mainstore and see wich color version you like most… I could not decide to be honest ;p

Mayden Ushimawa: “The legendary 50’s! I love that years and that style! Jukebox and rock ‘n roll … this is life!!
For the woman I made the typical dress with wide skirt with a cherries texture and a red pullover.The hair is also typical of those years. Glasses, shoes and hair are included.For man the classic hair and sideburns with a tuft. The shirt is reminiscent of the uniform of the players bowling. belt with keychain rigorously with the billiard ball number 8, and cuffed jeans. In those years have a nice car would mean many things, so I added a bright red Cadillac unmissable! The Cadillac is intentionally represented jokingly, with funny girls happy to be led around by a beautiful boy. *lol*”
