Summer Solstice Girl...

Remember how I mentioned in an earlier post how this set of jewelry would end up changing my life? Well..I got asked by the Belle Roussel, creator of Chop Zuey Couture Jewellery, to do a print ad for her store and she wanted me to model her "Summer Solstice" collection.

After the photo shoot was completed, Belle thanked me for my time and offered me a position as a model for her collections. I gladly accepted!

[MOCK] me...

I have become a great fan of [MOCK] Cosmetics created by Mocksoup Graves. She is one of the most generous and creative makeup artists on the SL fashion scene. You need a special request? She can do it for you.

I needed to find just the right shade of eyeshadow for a runway show for The Fashion Fix television program at Pulse TV where they showcased Faster Pussycat. I was given a sumptuous fur winter outfit designed by Honey Bender and decided on [MOCK]'s Nautical Nonsense - Flash Frozen Water. It was a perfect match..and a wonderful show!
The Face of October Contest: August
"Mongolian Overload"

For the month of August contest, we were asked to style an "avant garde" ensemble using clothing from two different centuries.

Sumptuous fur trims the embroidered silk coat that I teamed with a matching hat along with Bax Coen black suede boots. I paired this traditional Mongolian coat with an 18th century shirt with cravat. An ensemble warm enough for any winter trip and yet glamorous enough for the court of any Asian Overlord.
Carrrrribbbbean...Fling

October Bettencourt, of October Studios Photography, put together an impromptu party one evening with a Caribbean theme. It was time to pull out the Jamaican clothes, fire up the grill, roll out the rum barrel and get ready to limbo! Savannah, October Studios house DJ and party girl, spun some great tunes for the event. I won't mention what other things appeared at the party... hehehehe.. but wow..the leaves were flying!

Do my eyes look a little glazed over in that pic?
And now for something completely different....

Sometimes you get asked to change your appearance as was the case when I got hired to do a runway show for the Dallas Modeling Agency who was secured to showcase the recent creations of Belle Roussel of Chop Zuey Couture jewelry. Imagine my surprise at just how different my look would be! The creativity of presentation for fashion and accessories never ceases to amaze me.

The jewelry pieces I received were stunning. "Summer Solstice" - an exquisite suite of jewelry featuring a large center stone composed of Sedona Rose Quartz surrounded by Brazilian Pink Topaz & Diamonds set in Gold.

Little did I know how fate set my fortune when I received this suite...


Moonlight...roses...and you..

There is nothing like the sultry tones of a great singer as their graceful notes fill the night air with song in a dimly lit jazz club.

I have become a frequent visitor to certain jazz clubs in SL. It's been really nice to be able to get dressed up again. I have discovered that I really enjoy the music, the company and the dancing.



Models and Rock Stars....

My cell phone started to buzz ..and suddenly this message flashed across the screen..

1pm PT today: @DuranDuran's Roger Taylor will be DJing at the grand opening of Duran Duran Universe in #SL!

Of course Vivy and I jumped at the opportunity to fight the lag and hit this event. We quickly TPed over to the club..and found ourselves right next to Roger Taylor in his DJ booth! The club was PACKED...I was surprised that I could actually move.

He played some awesome tunes and we met some rather interesting people along the way. *lol*

The day in the life of a model...

With all the many contests, runway shows, and styling not to mention the shopping, one has to stop and take a break every now and again. One of my favorite things is hitting the dance floor..and one of the hottest clubs in Second Life is Ambrosia. Here you'll find great conversation, hot DJs and great tunes to dance away your cares.

Catching up!

So much has been going on that it's time to get the blog caught up! So let's roll back the clock nearly a month!

My cohort-in-crime, Vivienne Coppola and I decided to drop in on one of our old haunts, the Global Online Hockey Association. The theme for the latest season's awards ceremony was "Alice in Wonderland"...and what better way to celebrate than to come as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. Being the quick stylists that we are, we put together these awesome outfits with a modern twist on the old tale. It was great seeing many old friends again.
