Here I am! Back where I was years ago, back to blog about Fashion and share my second life experiences with you.
Do you know me or even remember who I am? I doubt it, been gone so long my friends list was bare. Funny how you leave to have a RL and fashion moves as fast as your friends list disappears here in SL. I was a model, photographer, builder and blogger. I worked for many prestigious agencies at the time and had a lot of fun being around those that inspired me and brought out my creativity. Well those who had little faith I would return, I am here and back with a new look and new style…. Do I regret leaving? not in a million years. Did it bring me a new view and a calmer sense of life? It did and with that I can see the world for the beauty it holds.
I started modeling and blogging in Second Life way before Mesh, before adding a piece of clothing was just a click away. We had LAG and when I say LAG I mean it. We had so many prims on us that we could take down a small island, and did many times at fashion shows. It took hours to prep an outfit to be outstanding! (see attached old fashion photo) https://flic.kr/s/aHsjopqK6P You had to manipulate the prims to fit your body. Now my body needs to be manipulated to fit the mesh, or I might have a cheek or nipple showing. https://flic.kr/s/aHskDQFamY
You have no idea what models of SL past had to deal with. If you weren’t tall, avant garde or in with the “In crowd” you were no one no matter how good you were. Let alone we were dealing with the SL fashion critique that thought that all models in SL should be just like real models and move with a good flow. Did they even know how hard it was to find a good pose? My first show ever was the worst of my life and that critique about destroyed me. My last show was for Miss Virtual World in 2010. I was the happiest I had ever been with many good friends and honored to be there.
So here I am now, back to ground zero. Having to find new designers, new looks, friends, fashion and finding my way through SL and returning to the Fashion world I love.
