Drumroll please.....

Well not really a drum roll.  I did get the show I mentioned in my last post which is great, nothing beats active runway time.  Got a few new posts either up or in the works for the Maniera blog.  Still have to plan the show for MPI but that shouldn't be too difficult just lacking a lot of focus right now thanks to the antibiotics I was on that had the nifty side effect of vertigo and dizziness.  So hate meds sometimes cause they cause more problems than they fix.  And yesterday the results came up for the May casting for Miss Virtual World.  I think I mentioned that I submitted a photo and would just see how it went.  Well they only picked about thirteen folks and yours truly was not one of them lol.  But Veronica made it and that means another Mani girl is in the pool to take the crown.  So I've submitted to my major contest lashing for the year and no mas on the MVW pool.  I do wonder about other contests and why I avoid them in general but it is limiting my exposure I guess so maybe I should get over that and at least attempt one every now and then.  Ok off to explore the universe.

Yeah brain still tired

Brain is still tired a bit and I woke up this morning God awful dizzy with no real explanation for it.  So the middle of my day was full of nap.  Nap is goooooood.  Last night I did the shoot that had been a little delayed and I swear I love meeting new photographers because they all work a little differently and are interesting in their own rights.  This morning was another casting with JSE which I thought I did okay in but wasn't asked to stay out very long after the last pose so figured it wasn't in the cards for this show or the other one I put in for---as I hadn't gotten that one.  But after I woke up from my luscious nappy nap I was feeling better and will just be positive about the outcome because you never know what may happen.  I might make a tiny addendum to this one tomorrow when the results are posted.  Haven't done much shopping lately except random 50L or 69L shopping days.  Laqroki has put out some gorgeous new skins but the darkest tones were in the new tone--Mocha which is quite pretty but several shades lighter than your everyday Rouge.  The makeup on the newest one is AMAZING so if you aren't a normal LAQ shopper go check it out.  Ok back to watching my lasagna and whatever movie I can get into.

brain too tired for a title

Hey everyone.  Not a whole lot going on for the last few days.  The holiday and weekend threw off a lot of the plans that I had and I'm playing catch up after freezing in my office all day because they turned the heat off so they could make some repairs.  They do it at least once a year and almost always find the one day of the year where it's least desirable to not have at least a puff of heat coming in.  I have a few castings coming up that hopefully I'll get but you know me, I work in ebbs and flows lol.  I still need to pull together the graduation show for MPI but missing some info so that might get pushed back a week.  And missing it because I really wasn't on SL all that much this weekend.  And last week I found out that my retro song choice didn't win the cover but I was among the top 5 so I'm good with that too.  The picture is on my flikr page but I'll include it here too in a bit.  Other than that I'm a little sleepy for some reason.  I should probably go to bed early but knowing me I won't lol.  I'll check in soon.

Decisions, Decisions

Another wave of contests have begun again and I have to say I managed my angst about entering or not entering quite well.  I chose not to try out for the Modavia casting.  I had an outfit styled and probably could have gotten the picture done in time but I'm not sure if I'm ready for that level of exposure on one hand and critique on the other.  And not exactly sure I have the skill set to be scrutinized through the casting process.  Who knows but if I try it won't be before the fall.  I did submit to Miss Virtual World as I said I would after some encouragement.  If I make it great but I'm not sure I'll make it beyond that first screening which is okay too.  Oh and I actually pulled a cover contest together for Maniera for a change.  I can't say it was uber creative but it was a representation of the song that inspired it.  Still no word on that one so I'll be sure to update you in the future with what happens.

Also did another show with JSE, Awake to Sudan, which was a lot of fun but something else came of it.  It made me finally go update my model resume with shows I have done over the last few months and vendor ads and all that stuff.  I've seen a few model blogs that have their resumes posted there which seems like a good idea because people can access it when you're offline.  Not sure if I'm ever going to make a default page for that but at least it's updated.  Oh well back to the grid shopping I go.

See ya
