Seen On The Scene: "sYs" by D'ior Super Modeling Agency & Corpus

"sYs" was such a cool show!  In the beginning, the stage was entirely black (except for a few spotlights).  However, as the models began entering the stage, it reacted by glowing in sYs' trademark hues of blue and aqua.  Boxes and platforms alike responded to the models' every movement, illuminating as the models presented Syane's and Systi's amazing designs, then fading to black as they returned backstage.

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 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!

Seen On The Scene: "Tokyo Street Fashion" by Maritima Inc.

Oh my goodness...this show makes me want to create a female avi just so I can wear all of the supercute dresses featured today!  Today's show was held in two parts.  The first half focused on the edgier side of Japanese street fashion, while the second half focused on the kawaii aspects.  Can you guess which half was my favorite?  =P

Seen On The Scene: "Burlesque" by What's Your Secret? & Finesmith Designs

"Burlesque" by What's Your Secret? and Finesmith Designs was a hit!  So much so, in fact, that the overwhelming number of people in attendance crashed the sim, hahaha.  Yula's jewelry designs are flawless, and it has been amazing to watch Catlyn grow as a designer, promoting her brand.  Here are some snapshots that I got before we all went down with the sim.  =P

The Bleeding Edge: "March & April Inspiration," Part 1 by Finesmith Designs

10 brand new Inspiration pieces are out, including a piece inspired by yours truly!  It has been an amazing experience to be a part of the Inspiration project.  Working with Yula, BlackLiquid, Xenobia, Markski and the others has been challenging, awe-inspiring, and exhilarating!  As with previous Inspiration releases, my goal is to release one new pic each day, until I've covered all 10 of the new sets (split into 2 separate posts), so check back often!

"Inspired by Sy"

This is an unused vendor shot done by the ever so talented Valeria Endrizzi.  There's no way I could do a better job than her, so here it is...my new default pic for EVERYTHING, lol.

"Inspired by Melanie"

The instant I saw Serene Faith wearing "Melanie," I KNEW I had to pair it with "Aoi Tori" ("Blue Bird") from Eshi Otawara.  The two compliment each other PERFECTLY, and it provided me with an excuse to finally blog one of Eshi's AMAZING designs!  =P

"Inspired by Rusalka"

I must admit...going up against Rusalka in the finals for Finesmith Muse intimidates the crap out of me.  She's always sooooo elegant and breathtaking (just like Rissa).  However, I play to win, and I love a good challenge, hahaha.  Here's a headshot featuring Rusalka's Inspiration set...brilliant tulips blooming in fun spring colors.

"Inspired by Jamee"

Jamee's set has a very tribal quality to it, with a repeated circular sun motif.  You really MUST view this shot full screen to appreciate the intricate details present in the headdress, necklace, and skirt.  The pose I'm using to drift through space here is from Body Talking's "Silent Mermaid" set, with 100% of the proceeds going to The Water Project, a charity focused on bringing clean water to Africa and India.

"Inspired by Taylor"

Some days you just want to let loose and feel the wind in your hair, and today was definitely one of those days!  =P  I thought this would be the easiest photo to process all week, but it took FOREVER to edit out all the green screen.  I'm def happy with the result, however.  =)
