Rooster Teeth co-founder Burnie Burns has departed the company he helped turn into a digital powerhouse.
In a statement on his just-launched website, Burns also shared that he and his wife, Ashley Jenkins, are moving "overseas" -- a decision that has been two years in the making despite the fact that Burns acknowledges it arrives during a particularly tumultuous time for the United States.
"As some of you have predicted over the past year, my steady move away from a public life was in preparation for this change," Burns wrote in a farewell message, noting that he had briefly returned to the Rt Podcast in recent months and still intends to pursue his myriad creative passions. "To that end, Rooster Teeth and I are currently working on a first-look agreement, which will enable me to incubate my own projects and then present them to the company for possible development."

So what better time for my fashion show recap?
But first, a little background. The fashion show, now in its third year, was started by Ashley Eckstein of the women’s geek fashion company Her Universe to bring true haute couture to geek fashion.
