New Impact Wrestling Photosh...snaps :)

The photoshoot drought is still on at Impact it seems, but tiny drop by tiny drop a few pics are starting to leak out.  The company seems to be back to it's old fondness for releasing just one snap at a time, which is a bit of a bummer when one is trying to do a photoSHOOT review (note: shoot..we on the same page now, Impact?), but still, it's better than nothing :) #SilverLining.
Hot on the heels of her title shoot, we get a quick snippet from Jade, wearing a gear ensemble with a very unique color combo: daisy yellow and rich plum. Yellow is such a rare color in wrestling gear that I'm always thrilled to see one of the ladies take it on. It also looks like Jade is continuing with the pared-down patterning of her title shoot gear, which is very exciting! With fun, surprising colors set in straightforward, bold pattern her gear could have a ton of..well, ...impact :) (pun intended :D). I'm not exactly sure what the printed square scarf is intended to convey, but it adds an interesting dimension. It will take seeing how utilizes it to tell whether it rocks or less than rocks :).
We also get a peek at a new ring outfit from Rebel, who has pulled out some very military style. I always love a woman who can wear a hat well, so that's a point in her favor. This jacket is also a really cool piece, with it's authentic shoulder detailing. She plays the commanding tone of those two pieces against very feminine shorts, crowned by a pink bow. She's resurrected the finger to teeth pose, an old sexy standard. This is quite a solid shot, with the style interplay between authority and sweetness being particularly interesting. Rebel's fashion sense is excellent; I wish Impact would let her turn it loose a bit more! If she were allowed to explore some of these themes less superficially and with a stronger fashion influence, I firmly believe she could create some stellar 'shoots.
Maria also gets a mini shoot. Hers gets up close and personal with the gear in which she won the recent ladder match that earned her the title of KO's Commissioner. The idea of the entire KOs division in the hands of Maria definitely thrills me! And now, can we take a moment and talk about those shorts? Holy holy. That silhouette is cheeky indeed! Maria emblazoned it with stars, a fitting tribute to her First Ladyship, as it was obvi she was one pretty much from day one. I LOVE that she chose orange as her opening color: it's fiery and intense! Few divas dare to embrace sucha  color, but Maria looks fantasmic in it! She adds touches of black via her crystal-speckled belt and fishnet stockings, which is just enough to ground that scalding hot main color.

Atop those shorts, she adds a fab cropped jacket, complete with a hood and gold piping which makes a flawless accessory..and also, the perfect way to highlight what lies beneath it. If the cut of those shorts caught your attention, it should be riveted in place by Maria's push-up bra style top. It reprises the gold trim of her jacket and includes an awesome center ring detail. But (yes, I saved the best for last ;)) the jaw-dropping part is the crystal-emblazoned cups. It looks utterly AMAZING...in a shoot, under the ring lights, pretty much anywhere. It's design genius! ..Oh, and I ttly want a bra like that, stat. That shade of orange done in crystal has me like iufhbcuicosxwl. And I mean every bit of that.
As an interesting little PS, would you have guessed how similar Maria's taste and Lilian's taste are? The two ladies wore the same dress, both recently but, fortunately, on different occasions. We can't play "Who Wore It Best" as sadly we don't get to see too many of Maria's accessories, which would have been the deciding factor. Suffice to say that both fashionistas rocked this mod-patterned metallic sheath and that's cool as can be!
