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: "Bird Of Prey" by Mea Culpa

Typically I try to get my bleeding edge reviews out within a day or two of release, if not prior to.  However, sometimes I get overwhelmed with RL, and just don't have time to cover all of the new releases that I'd like to.  =(  During Male Fashion Week back in March, Tatanka Kaligawa unveiled a new line of menswear from his wildly successful avante garde brand, Mea Culpa.  I was DYING to cover all of the new releases, but just didn't have the time to do them justice.  I have a bit more time on my hands for now, so below is "Bird Of Prey," the first of hopefully many Mea Culpa outfits that I will cover here on Shiny Angel Couture.  I applied heavy artistic and blur filters to my picture below to give it the look and feel of a watercolor painting, but don't let that fool you...the textures on this outfit are soooo incredibly detailed, and the primwork is absolutely flawless (as is to be expected from the work of Tatanka Kaligawa).  You simply MUST stop by Mea Culpa to try this outfit on for yourself!

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 Fashion Teller: "SEX"

Seen On The Scene: "January Inspiration Show" by Finesmith Designs

Today was Finesmith's monthly Inspiration Show, and it was AMAZING!  I'm IN LOVE with almost every one of the new designs Yula introduced this month, much to my wallet's chagrin.  =P  Pictures of the new jewelry sets to come.  SL was being a beast, so after my second crash I decided to use print screen rather than in-game snapshots.  Here are a couple of shots that I managed to salvage!

Seen On The Scene: "Metropolis" by SL Art Couture

This was my first fashion show I've attended, and it rocked my world!  Every aspect of it was absolutely beautiful...the set, the models, the skins, the hair, the shoes, the jewelry, the music.  In a word:  Gesamtkunstwerk.  I took an unwieldy number of photos...below are my favorites:
