Seen On The Scene: "SL8B Couture Fashion" by SL Art Couture & Siren Productions

SL Art Couture and Siren Productions have collaborated to produce two runway shows in celebration of Second Life's 8th Birthday (SL8B)...one couture and one casual.  The couture show was earlier today, featuring Finesmith Designs, Leezu, Gizza, and Azul.  I must admit, the set is one of the prettiest that I've ever seen.  I told Jonas (my amazingly talented SL husband/landscaper) that I expect a replica in our backyard by the end of the week.  =P  Oh!  And I also spotted my first Linden ever!  Woo!!!

The Bleeding Edge: "Caliente" & "Imperial" by Champagne, "Irish Eyes" & "Blue Victory" by Garded Secret

Sorry I'm a bit late with these posts, but MVW Modeling Academy graduation was this weekend, and it owned my soul for 3 days straight, lol.  Class with Frolic Mills was a blast though, and I graduated!  However, I digress...back to Champagne and Garded Secret.  I have several favorite designers in SL, each specializing in a different area.  yula Finesmith is my favorite jewelry designer, Arisia Ashmoot is my favorite pose designer, and dianny3636 Aeon is my favorite hair designer.  Fortunately for me, my favorite cosmetics and clothes designers have teamed up to release products that compliment each other perfectly.  YAY for Talyia Tarber and Enzo Champagne!  Below are two of the latest coordinated releases for men:  "Caliente" by Champagne paired with "Irish Eyes" by Garded Secret,  and "Imperial" by Champagne paired with "Blue Victory" by Garded Secret.  Enjoy!

The Fashion Teller: "Je t'aime"

The Fashion Teller, one of SL Art Couture’s many unique projects, has just released its third publication, “Je t’aime,” and it is FABULOUS!!!   The Fashion Teller is the  brainchild of Arisia (Ari) Ashmoot (owner of Body Talking) and RicoRacer Flux.  It is the perfect synthesis of beautiful poses, stunning designs, incredible photography, and moving poetry.  The Fashion Teller’s previous endeavor brought you hot, steamy sex.  This time around, they bring you intimate views into the lives of SL’s power couples, inspired by timeless romances  such as those in “Moulin Rouge,” “From Here To Eternity,” “Brokeback Mountain,” “Casablanca,” “My Fair Lady,” “Roman Holiday,” “Titanic,” “Dirty Dancing,” “Ghost,” “Snow White,” “Pretty Woman,” “Breakfast At Tiffany’s,” “Romeo & Juliet,” and “Gone With The Wind!”  Enjoy, and don't forget to stop by here to subscribe to all future publications from The Fashion Teller and SL Art Couture!

The Bleeding Edge: "The Rabbicats" by Body Talking

Rabbicats is an extremely unique release from Body Talking, with 100% of the proceeds going to Project Fur Japan.  Project Fur Japan provides funds to aid animal rescue groups who are helping the thousands of animals lost and/or injured during the tragic earthquake and tsunami in Japan.  Rabbicats is a set of five super cute kittehs, each with a corresponding pose.  On a random side note, while we were shooting the vendor image earlier I discovered that Ari and all of her friends have nicknames based on their personality color.  Ari is Purbru, Miaa Rebane is Purmass, Steffy Ghost is Purpur, and Takeshi Kiama is Keshyellow.  After taking said test, I am now Syellow.  YAY!!!  =P

The Bleeding Edge: "Twiggy" by Body Talking

Pose Fair 2011 opens this Friday, and Body Talking has some amazing offerings for both men and women:  "Mikey" and "Twiggy!"  For more info on "Mikey," check out my previous Bleeding Edge post here on the Shiny Angel Couture blog.  "Twiggy" is a collection of 20 poses...10 unique poses, each featuring a mirrored counterpart.  The poses are especially well suited to ladies carrying a clutch or purse (neither of which works for me), so I decided to go into cuteness overload for this shoot.  Rather than a purse, I walked around the house carrying an adorable Domo plushie that I got from SweetTooth via the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser.  Also featured is some sweet hair from 3636 (my new fav hair) and a cute little outfit from Misera, both a part of the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser as well!

The Bleeding Edge: "Mikey" by Body Talking

Soon to be released in the Body Talking store, I bring you "Mikey"...a fun collection of poses excellent for runway or print.  I think pose #4 is my new personal favorite pose, hahaha.  As always, all Body Talking fatpacks come with an X-Poser compatible version, so you can go poseball free with your X-Poser system from Essential Soul!
