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 😉

Incredible mystical new outfit at Mea Culpa!!!

by

Mea Culpa brought news to the fashion world… amazing and incredible news for sure 😉   Tatanka Kaligawa designed again a masterpiece of fashion that has its very own character.

“Oppressive Prophecy” comes as a whole outfit except the shoes. It is fully hold in gold and black and the textures are simply amazing. Golden ornaments on a back background always give a very elegant and glamorous touch.

Also the dress is very sexy and stunning with all the parts that show so much skin and who are framed by amazing golden seams! The lower arms are covered by some kinda armshields. ‘The theme is repeated with the 2 huge prims that are attached to the waist and go up from there.

A total eyecatcher is the headpart with the 2 long piercings that hang down in front and male earrings redundant.

The 2 big fan looking decorations on the left hip and in the back are a wonderful contrast to that long spike looking prims on the right side. The flexible train that goes down on the right side from that big back attachment gives a very aerial feeling as it moves wonderful with every step.

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!

Both genders will find something for their needs in the R:A:D Mainstore… ladies and gents you should take a look 😉

For today I would like to show you a few creations out of his new shoe line where him and her can go partners in fashion with a fabulous partnerlook for the footwear…

First design are the “Dragon Boots” for us ladies 😉 This amazing sculpted boots are the highlight for every outfit. Every part is very well-shaped in every little prim and all that lovely details show off the skills and the eye for the detail of designer Redclaw Inshan.

I was really impressed as I realized all the options that you get with this pair of boots… first, with the boots comes a HUD that let you change the colors for most of the prim parts to every color you can thing off as it works over a big colorfield that makes really every color possible. That’s not all.. also the basic color of the boots can be changed always to 5 brilliant colors so it will be always matching anyways what you wear 😉 The 5 basic colors are black, red, blue, green and purple and I will show all of them in this post ;). But lets take a closer look at the possibilities for changing the colors of the primparts… if you take a look at the picture above you can see that I shot 2 times the black basic with different colored accessories. On the left I changed spikes and chains to gold. So the great golden chains frame that awesome silver dragon that ornaments the outsides of the boots. On the right picture I kept the golden chains and changed the spikes only to a dark grey what gets the same awesome metal touch still. The basic fabric for this version of the boots is a plain leather one with amazing lights and shadows that bring out the dragon perfectly.

For the “Dragon Boots” also you can have a very special version… the “Dragon Boots – Dragonscale Version”

There we have already the other 3 colors beside red and black – green, purple and blue. This time the basic is not just a plain leather one it looks like a very well done dragonscale texture. For the accessories parts you also have that HUD that let you change the chains and spikes to each and every color.

The silver dragon that ornaments again the outside of the boots again is a totally highlight. If you take a closer look you can see how filigree and detailed it is! In the picture above you can see that you really can change the color of chains and spikes to what ever you want 😉

Now it’s the time for the males!!! 😉

Head up guys… there you can compete now with your girlfriends fashion and style! The “Spiked Dragon” boots for male open the world for the fashion aware males! The fantastic dragonscale texture also is the basic for the male version also, same for the color changing for chains and spikes…

There is only one light difference for the male version… the basic color keeps black…BUT the dragons change color! You can choose between 5 preset colors – silver, green, blue, red and gold!

If you take a closer look you also can see the realistic side of the shoes… at the inside of the boots there are no spikes at all as it would be really painful *grins* Even that detail was taken care of for males and females. So guys now you cannot complain anymore about not having stylish and extravagant boots 😉 With the “Spiked Dragon” boots you are definitely up to date!

Last but not least for today – the “Cobra” boots…

Again we have a plain leather version as a great basic in the 5 preset colors black, red, purple, green and blue.

As we have it for the female “Dragon Boots” you can change the color with the HUD for the prim accessories and even for the eyes of the snake. This boots as you can guess by the name have an amazing cobra that decorated the outsides of the lower legs.

Again… it is amazing how very well every little detail is done.. for example take a closer look at the snake head.. you can change the color of the eyes as I mentioned and also you can see the sharp poison fangs very clear.. simply awesome! And all boots can be resized via the HUD too that is delivered to every pair of boots!

Ladies and gentlemen… make your way to the R:A:D Mainstore and take a look by your self on that great boots who re displayed in glass vendors to take a real look on them… dare to use the arrows and you maybe will find even more styles and versions of that great boots 😉 and stay tuned on new releases 😉

by

(Shoe: Mea Culpa – “Matrix”, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

As I promised… here is the second part of the last Mea Culpa shoe mania! Tatanka Kaligawa increased our ladies shoe paradise with new designs and ideas all around our feet 😉

(Shoe: Mea Culpa – “Matrix”, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

The “Matrix” shoes captivate with their great and unusual heels. High heels with an amazing metal part that connects the heel to the sole. The basic shoe is made with a simple but amazing detailed texture and neat details. Wonderful sculpted toes with colorable nails in every color with the HUD that comes with, tiny little lines that connect the 2 big fabric parts that cover the foot with that amazing folds that make the whole shoe very realistic. You can change the main color to all colors you want with the big color matching field as well as you can match the skin of the foot itself to match yours.

(Shoe: Mea Culpa – “Overdose”, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

Elegant and extravagant? No problem with the “Overdose” shoes. Very filigree the mixture of lace and opaque texture goes over the whole foot. Sweet little accessories with a sharp character decorate the “little blacks” in an extraordinary way. If you want a special pair of shoes for your little black dress… the “Overdose” heels of Mea Culpa are the right choice.

(Shoe: Mea Culpa – “Darkness”, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

Or you go for the “Darkness” ones. Also great for every outfit but maybe a little bit more ‘sexy’ as the “Overdose”. The “Darkness” heels have a more opaque character and the shining black texture surrounds nearly the whole feet, just toes and back feet are free for the typical sexy high heel look. The white ornaments give an awesome touch to the whole design.

(Shoe: Mea Culpa – “Zen”, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

Now we step on the asia path with the “Zen” shoes. The sweet golden dragon on the wooden heels give a cute basic for the perfect asian look. The ornaments on the fabric add even more asian feeling.

(Shoe: Mea Culpa – “Zen”, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

With the HUD you can match your skin, and color the nails in all colors you can think on with the big color field. Also the HUD has 5 pre-made colors for the basic texture as you can see in the pics above.

(Shoe: Mea Culpa – “Vamp”, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

“Vamp” is the playful one in this post. Fully made of lace you feet are totally covered except the toes and the back feet.

(Shoe: Mea Culpa – “Vamp”, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

Little silver ornaments decorate the shoes at the ankle and the sides. The heel itself has an amazing texture too. Another silver line that goes left and right down the feet. The main color can be changed with the usual color field of the HUD as well as the toe nails.

(Shoe: Mea Culpa – “Joker”, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

The last pair for today are the “Joker” ones. The main color is always parted in white and one of the 6 colors (black, red, blue, green, purple, gold & grey)

(Shoe: Mea Culpa – “Joker”, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

A very cool feature you have on the back of the heel… the line that goes down the heel can be colored in every color you can think with the HUD as well as the nails and the skin.

(Shoe: Mea Culpa – “Joker”, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

There we are at the end of the second part of the latest shoe mania of Mea Culpa… but I already heared Tatanka talk about new shoe designs… so stay tuned 😉
