The Bleeding Edge: "Mystere Rose" by Garded Secret

The first batch of Exclusive 75 items is out, and Garded Secret has an amazing makeup set to offer!  "Mystere Rose" pairs black tattoo layer makeup with white prim roses and black prim leaves, going above and beyond your typical tattoo layer makeup to add a level of depth and detail that's unprecedented!  As with all Exclusive 75 items, only 75 copies of this limited edition makeup will ever be sold.  Make sure you hurry though, because "Mystere Rose" will only be available in the Garded Secret store for 2 weeks, after which it will be taken off the market forever!

KULT Magazine: "April 2011"

The second issue of SL Art Couture's KULT Magazine is out, and I have two articles in it!  Make sure you check out Lens Flair, a monthly column in which I interview one of Second Life's many amazingly talented photographers.  This week's featured photographer extraordinaire is Talyia Tarber, owner of Garded Secret and a close personal friend.  Also check out my coverage of Claim The Fame, an exciting collaboration between SL Art Couture and Metaverse TV to find the grid's hottest new designer!  Here's the link to all the KULT Magazine goodness:

The Road To MVW: Application

A week ago today Frolic Mills sent out the first notice for Mr. Virtual World 2011...an all call for headshots from potential MVW candidates.  To me, MVW is the competition to end all male modeling competitions, and it would be such an honor to be chosen to compete as a finalist this year.  My avi has a very unique, boyish look, which may work for me or against me...I'm not really sure.  I guess we'll see!  My headshot was done by the lovely and talented Talyia Tarber, featuring one of the suits from last week's Claim The Fame.  Wish me luck!

The Bleeding Edge: "Golden Empress" by Garded Secret

Talyia Tarber created "Golden Empress" back in December for The Fashion Teller's "The Nutcracker," but it has just now been released in her super amazing store, Garded Secret.  Done in beautiful hues of gold and sapphire, I sooooo wish that I had this makeup for my Finesmith Inspiration casting back in March.  Here's my winning Inspiration styling revisited, featuring "Golden Empress" in all of its splendor.

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!
