Damn it's Hot

The weather here is making me stay inside more but it's also making me sleepy.  So when I'm not busy with scheduled activities in SL I've really not been on as much as I could have been.  The Miss Ebony International pageant is winding down and I have to say that regardless of what happens it has been an interesting experience that has pushed me to develop new traits and handle lag is new and exciting ways.  Next Sunday is the final competition (which will be held at the same stage as Mister Virtual World was) and I have to say being backstage at Patch was an interesting experience.  The backstage area is gorgeous by the way but it is mildly intimidating to know the caliber of models that have competed there but at the same time it felt totally natural to be there and the girls were great as normal.  I hope that I do Senegal proud in great outfits that Kimmera Madison designed for me and let me preview a few weeks ago.  Both make me look like a regal African princess and it will be an honor to rock our final challenge in them.

Normally I'm not super tardy with pictures but my brain was having styling block with the photos for the Argentine tango challenge that is due later today.  Thankfully my partner was willing to dance with me and take my photo so as soon as he can finish editing it I'll post it to flickr.  I have a few others to add from the other runway challenges and I'll upload one of each of those to this as well.  I'm afraid my sexy edgy military costume started to look like a campy futuristic airline stewardess but ehhh I liked playing with so it wasn't so uniform like.  And I went all burlesque for the music challenge since my original thought probably wouldn't have made much sense.  But for those of that remember the early 90s and George Michael he had a video that he wasn't in at all--which at the time was groundbreaking apparently--but it was populated with runway models ( Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Tatjana Patitz, Cindy Crawford, and male models John Pearson, Mario Sorrenti, and Peter Formby).  It wasn't the first time music and fashion mixed but it always stayed in my mind.  Both my partner and good friend said it would be too random especially since the video wouldn't play along with it.  Regardless, love the song and I'm gonna include the video along with the photos.  Have a great weekend and for those that I'll see next Sunday good luck, thanks for your support and woot.

Oh and there is another surprise coming but until it's set just let me leave you with man it's so amazing.
