My Whirlwind Fashion Weekend is Over

Okay so the last show I'm in for the weekend is now in the books. All went well as far as the ones I was in. A bit of lag for Eden Freese but nothing out of the ordinary. I managed to get to the dress rehearsal for Tres Beau after finishing the script for the Bitch Tail Graduation show with MPI all before noon. The grad show as lag personified but big round of applause to the girls for keeping their heads and managing to finish the show. Sim was full a few times and the designer was happy so yeah for that. The Wicked show was oodles of fun and I was shocked honestly by some of the people that ended up there. It was minimal lag and everyone worked well together. A photo shoot is coming out of that too so yippee. Not to mention Alisa was very generous to us and gave us a great gift card to her store for our participation. Not sure what I am going to buy because she gave me a ton of cute outfits to prep for the show with but I'll do what I can hee hee. Also got to do a bit of shopping at Ora Trei and got some great outfits and jewelry before it went bye bye. I got some stuff from them for the Maniera shoot a while back but hadn't been back in a while and was surprised at some of the stuff I found.

The Fall Into Romance Tres Beau show went well too. Little bobbles here and there but nothing major and nothing that made me think of please just let me get through the next hour. Everyone worked well together and while it was definitely one of the most intricate walks I've seen lately that wasn't off putting either. JSE as a crew rocked this afternoon and made Valentine's day just as lovely for everyone that was there. I am debating logging back on to see take some pictures for the Finesmith contest but right now just not feeling it lol. If anything I'll work on the ones for Angel Dessous. Ahh well I'll let ya know when or if I figure it out lol.

See ya

First Show Down

Okay so New York Fashion Week as sponsored by Maniera (yeah) and IMAGE has officially started today with the Eden Freese show of which yours truly was the first one out and the ONLY one to crash at the end of her first walk lol. I rebounded quickly and made it back before the model after me finished her walk. Short of lag no glitches to report after that. The runway was a bit different than the one we rehearsed on so that was slightly disjointing but nothing major. Some of my old Maniera and superElite classmates were there too and that was good. I am also featured on the IMAGE flikr page for the show which is nice as the photographer didn't seem to catch everyone. That happens a LOT during shows though, people aren't fully rezzed or don't stop moving long enough to get a good snap or your computer decides to throw a tantrum as you snap. I can't say that happened today but it was fun seeing myself.

The graduation show is still planned for Saturday at 1PM SL. We'll see how realistic that is after the final dress rehearsal tonight but I have to say the girls did well tonight and apparently did so for Keeley this afternoon so we'll just go with that for now and keep fingers crossed. Still need to finish the script and get the walk order together but those should come together quickly tomorrow. I have my other two shows after that one as well. I'll be in the Wicked Fashions show Saturday @ 6PM SL and the JSE Fall Into Romance Show at 1:30PM on Sunday. I think it's 1:30 it could be 1 exactly. I'll let ya know if I'm wrong. If you want to come just shoot me an IM when I'm online and I'll happily give you whatever landmark I have or invite I have.

I'll post pictures if I can figure out how to scroll them all instead of having 10 or so pics just splattered in a post. Talk to ya soon.

When it Rains it Pours


I go through slumps with modeling for lack of a better phrase. There are moments when I want to conquer the world and just show everyone what I'm made of. There are other moments when my brain hurts and I just want SL to be fun and entertaining. I haven't done much runway work lately. I think my last show was in December early or late November but I tend to veg out in December as it's my birthday and this year I got to spend time with the family so I just wasn't hard pressed to be working. Over the last few weeks, I've put my name and skills back into the pool to see what would come of it. As you know, I was selected for Miss Fashion several weeks back which is good and interesting and thus far has been very enjoyable. The designer I'm assigned to rocks. Since then, I was happy to get into one of the NY Fashion Week shows with Maniera (woot go Eden) and at the last minute decided to attend a casting at the Model's Workshop and got selected for the Wicked show and after submitting for the next JSE show (and honestly not thinking I had a chance in hell cause I rarely make castings these days) got picked for it too. I'm also trying to wrap up coordinating another graduation show for MPI which will be several hours before the Wicked show and the day before the JSE show. I went from having basically nothing to do on SL to having three shows and another to coordinate all of which will happen between Thursday and Sunday lol. I'll probably go back into turtle mode (hiding out but observing) again till I feel like I'm just the bees knees and want back into the fray. I need to take some pictures for Angel Dessous too and maybe will get back into the Royal Princess contest as well. I think I have a look that would work if I can just get it together ha. Gotta do it soon though. See ya boys and girls.
