Loading ...This is EmilyC. I haven’t blogged at all since my first introductory entry… (When was that? A few months ago? I can’t remember, which isn’t surprising.) When I tried to log on today to blog, I couldn’t sign on because I forgot my password. :-O Just my luck, I thought. Thankfully, Dea was able to help me out by working her magic–Dea’s got magic. LOL! Anyway, I’m here now and that’s all that matters…. (Like, nothing else matters. LOL.)
I’ve been on SL since late August 2007, which hasn’t been an awfully long time compared to some people, but I’ve learned quite a few things. And I don’t mind sharing. So here are a few advices inexperienced fashionistas or potential fashionistas can benefit from.
1) Sometimes SL screws up and you fail to receive the item(s) you purchased. When this happens, don’t PANIC and don’t purchase the item(s) again, unless you’re incredibly rich and don’t mind spending twice as much for your purchase. Instead, send a notecard to the designer describing what happened. Be sure to include your purchase’s transaction number in the notecard, too, so the designer has proof that you made the purchase. To get your purchase transaction number, go to your account on secondlife.com, check your transaction history. Most designers will understand and resend the item(s) to you. Sometimes designers’ profile will defer you to one of their employees for your transaction trouble. The process isn’t difficult, so don’t cry about your lost…. Getting customer service is the key. And if you never get an answer from the designer, I would advise you not to purchase anything from him/her again until you get the item(s) you purchased.
2) Most real life supermodels don’t have fat butts (LOL), so I almost never wear inworld skirts for this reason. If an outfit includes inworld skirts, I almost never make the purchase. Instead, I prefer skirts constructed with prims. Skirts with prims not only have movement, but they are more slimming. When asked to wear inworld skirts in fashion shows, I decrease the size of my butt and my hips. This works to some extent because inworld skirts form around the shape of your butt and hips. And oh yeah!!!! Unless you wish to flash a little somethin’ somethin’, always make sure that outfits with an inworld skirt include underwear. Always wear underwear with inworld skirts, because you can never know who will move their camera under your skirt!!!
3) If you have not already figure this out, always make a copy of a prim you want to modify. Because, if you don’t, you are doomed doomed doomed when you mess up! LOL.
4) A messy inventory is like a messy closet. You won’t be able to find anything if you don’t sort it out. Create folders and sort your items that way.
That’s all for the day.
Ciao and happy shopping!
EMILYC, Modavia Supermodel
ok ladies and gentleman, it seems i allready messed up!! All i wanted to write is on he comments section!!! well i promess you next time i will do a better job :))
While i reorganize this mess please read my comments on the sl ebony pageant, they were suppose to be post it here :), thanks for you understanding i am a newby in blogg experience.
Let me tell you a little about myself.. I am from UK.. a small place called London;-) but no.. I do not have a cockney accent..
I have been in SL about 20 months. As well as being a model, I also host Slingo at a very popular island. I am also estate manager there.
I have done a fair few catwalk shows.. amongst them - Callie Cline, Rfyre, Zhao, Storm shoes, Insolence, Barerose.. too many to list here.
Currently I am a model for: Boulevard, Indyra’s Originals (some exciting things coming up there.. stay tuned to find out more), DreamGirls (I am also helping to run shows for DG), SWAN, Callie Cline and not forgetting of course.. the ultimate.. Modavia Supermodels.
I was Project Manager for Modavia for BiancaF skins events.. which I also modelled in. I was lucky enough to be selected to feature in Modavia’s Designer’s brief. I have also been selected to be one of the models to be photographed and featured in Indyra Originals brand new upcoming store. Some exciting stuff coming up - stay tuned to find out more over the coming weeks.
I adore modelling.. all aspects of it.. catwalk shows are always a challenge - but a challenge I love. Lag (unavoidable during catwalk shows) is a trial.. attachments not attaching.. TPing home and praying you get back for your next walk.. I love it.. it’s a challenge that I feed on:-)
Photographic modelling is always fun.. with rarely any lag problems and time to chat and laugh with the photographer.
So what do I do when not hosting or modelling.. or preparing for modelling? Why shopping of course! I love shopping.. I love to find the best SL has to offer.. be it clothes, skins, hair or things for my home.. oh and animals.. I have many at home from an elephant to aquatic animals like whales, sharks, dolphins etc.
If I am not busy shopping or hosting or modelling.. I love to PARTYYYYYYY 
OK well I think I will leave it for there for today and report more next week.
I will attempt to upload a pic or two.. but I am blonde..
Ah getting all sorts of error messages when I try to upload a pic.. so will try to add that later, sorry:-(

Hi there family……awwwwww….that sounds sooooo sweet!!!
Well its about time I really introduced myself to the growing family here..and ooooooh scary…ive never blogged in my life….hope theres no side effects lol…..starts seeing double…starts seeing double!!!!!!!….takes the pill…..awwww im ok now i think……………..
Well……..sit urself down with a large cream cake and a dont count the calories…not worth the pain thinking about it lol………………………..It all started one cold dark day in mundane suburbia..hmmmmmm hadnt stopped raining for a week…..damn british summertime weather!!!!!!……nothing on t.v. glass of wine in hand….RL I concluded need a kick in the proverbial backside and needed so much needed WOOT WOOT!!!!. So i found myself innocently signing up for a computer game alternative,borne out of curiosity more than anything. Oooooh the birth was easy………the rest was well a bit like rearing a child…..learn as you go along…trips and upsets…..but always someone to pick you up and set you on the right path lol…but such a load of fun…ive really laughed along the way…thanks to all those witty comedians out there..you really made me smile!!!!!!! and fall off my chair a few times too. Anyway .bah!!!!!!! I would pretty never much have had the opportunity to buy an island, start a business, or sell candyfloss nickers, or build myself a fairytale castle without even glancing at planning regulations..and would never have been able to attend a rock club wearing a pink latex catsuit…or even consider having a name like “Thistle Whistle IWISH ” LOL. and anyway in RL i have to contend with mundane things like cleaning the toilet ,plucking my eyebrows……but in SL i have no need to waste my time on such tedium..instead i can devote my time to fullfilling my dreams.
BORN as a woman..(looks herself up and down…yes definately a fantastic woman…WOW!!!!) Next important thing on the agenda…a wardrobe!!!!! So off i go on my first freebie shopping spree……..hmmmmm looking back I now realised that my black fur trimmed ensemble put me in rather overdressed mode compared to my fellow newbies !!!!! lol. It was at this point that i decided that my taste was apparently far superior..and i had to use this talent lol. I fell in love with my avie..and nurtured her soooo….and treked through miles and miles of lands in SL searchig for clothes to adorn her with great style..that sometimes id only dream of wearing in RL…….HOORAY FOR HAUTE COUTURE SL!!!!!!!!!!!
One evening i accidentally gatecrashed an after fashion show party….and was mesmerised by all the beautiful people there. I spotted one beautiful model there who had on some exquisite jewellry……so braved asking her where she had aquired them from……………little did i know it was HARMY!!!!!!!!! only the VIP of Modavia…..I didnt even know who or what Modavia was lol……….and thats I guess pretty much how it started for me……application sent in……photo shoot with enigmatic Dea….and WOW!!!!!!! i GOT MY SUPERMODEL STATUS..on my birthday….what about that for timing was a perfect birthday pressie!!!!!!!!….Thanks Dea……What GREAT head of the family to have……always giving good direction..putting herself out selflessly for others too…..you set such a great example and as they say..you earn great respect ..you dont demand it!!!!!
Ok…….if you all havnt zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz now………!!!!!!!!!!! …..Didnt quite know what to write so i thought Id just update you on a few personal favourites…so if uv not come upon them maybe you can give them a whirl….and if ur like me……always on the look out for something new or different!!!!
Do you know im always still wowed and constantly amazed by the new fashions arriving at SL al the time and thats after i think ive been to all the big designers here……there is always somehing new around the corner…and a new up and coming designer with great potential..to go up and onwards to better things.
Anyway one store i came across …ATELIERS..LUSCA …….iTALY…Vanity affair shoping mall…………fab jewellry from BANDIT too….headed there with lm from Zamelia Loon..she has an outlet at the new SL Boulevard (WHAT A FANTASTIC DREAM THAT WAS)………well i originally went to browse the clothes there which are btw fantastic…but was taken by the skins there..Theyre called ARS*NOVA DESIGNS……….believe me ive tried some skins but these are amazing. The quality and attention to detail is fabulous…and gives ur avie a flawless appearance with a look that is totally soft and realistic..even the detail around the nose is crisp. I have taken some pics here for you to see so you can decide for urselves..but i was pretty much impressed i have to say with the overall quality..and i know all us girls need a change…so go for great quality…
snapshot-o2_007.bmp A 26 ….click the links to the pics.
There are 3 colour tones in the range and a goth skin too. This range also has the advantage of many makeup options with eyeshadow colour too. There is a 1. Day makeup……2.Gloss/Matt lips ………..3.Evening Makeup….and even 4.Emo makeup ……the skins you see me wearing in the pics are 1.A26 2.AO8. So many to choose from to suit all compliment all outfits.Each skin is 1500l
The jewellry in the pics is from the Princess range at ICING and at the mo the bracelets are free..so you can also copy one for each wrist lol.This engaging jewellry ensemble will look completely stunning for cinderella to the ball or just to upgrade a casual outfit.
Well hope ive not sent you all to sleep ..think i have repetitive strain injury now awwwwwwwww…….but i will be on my hunt next session in a week..and me thinks ……im gonna try and find some of the nicest LBDs…cos we all have to have one in OUR virtual wardrobe……..and thats NOT!!!!!!

Har Keeley ,Barbs, elisne. Giela, Lianne,Pop Wynter……….and Jonny….awwwwww i aspire to all you guys..youre the best.
Wow! What an amazingly busy week I’ve had. After hosting the Sana Models fashion show on Saturday. I began preparing for the “300 Years of Style” Fashion show to benefit Relay for Life hosted by Lava Levasseur and Tiffany Dragonash. The show was quite a success raising $20K L for the cause. Way to go ladies! Here are some images from the event.
After the kyoot army sale, I’ve been in embodying 1920s style. What can I say? I was inspired. My first look was my take on a badass female mobster. And yes I was carrying a piece but… it got lost in the shots.
Usually, after a day or so I’m pretty much done with a look but I couldn’t seem to shake the 1920s. So, that lead me to create this second look. I wanted more of a sexy showgirl persona and this digit darkes body suit was absolutely perfect.
Short post for today but that’s all I have for now. If you haven’t hit the Kyoot Army sale, then I recommend you rectify that and head to their main store IMMEDIATELY.

Keely LeFavre, Modavia Supermodel, Fashion guru, badass
Looking through everyone’s posts, I wondered to myself…what could I do that would be a bit different, but still represent the modeling and/or fashion industry? I decided to focus on a photographer this week. I looked through my vast selection of pictures and decided to focus on a photographer whom we all know and love, Miss Christieanna Daviau. I love her style in the following pictures. She is a true artist and takes pride in her pictures. She had not planned on becoming such a well-known photographer, but thanks to word of mouth (Harmonica! I do believe), she has become quite popular. I don’t know how she gets it all done, with her Elements photography business and her wonderful head for business…which lucky for us, she is using to benefit Modavia. Thanks Chris for all you do…”squeak”! Hugs, Wynter
So I stopped in Insolence to have a look at Camilla’s new Misty Line. Wow…just trying them all on is so sexy. She’s made so many different layers, so many choices with a seemingly infinate number of combinations for that Wesson Oil girl in you. Want to wear as pants layer, it’s in there, skirt layer, it’s in there. Layering options lets you be creative.
How naughty can I be in these? Wayyy naughty and I’m wearing the tame one, Dawn. Do yourself a naughty favor and drop by for a look. I’m so glad I did.
You know, when they say Fortunate, they aren’t kidding. I have been blessed with right time, right place, and more importantly, right attitude. A friend who brings in RL businesses to SL was opening a new sim, KaDeWe. He asked me to help him put together a series of fashion shows for RL KaDeWe in SL which is the biggest shopping center in Gemany. Boy was I scared. I had NO experience with fashion other than gee whiz that looks nice on me.
I didn’t take the traditional route, I was brought in backstage. A lot of times, models want to work their way to producing and it’s a great goal because that’s where you meet designers, models, all the people that make a show possible. I was thrown into the deep end of modeling, sink or swim baby! I don’t like sinking much so I paddled my butt off. The first thing I did was to get people much smarter than me to help. I can tell you there are plenty of those.
I wrote about 15 shows for KaDeWe and others, and it is hard work, describing each piece, skirt, glitch pants, vests, blouses, gloves, bell skirts, shrugs…on and on. Always under the gun of deadline, staying up nights to complete a show, it takes dedication. And finally, I was asked to walk shows. And how I love it.
Want to be a model…be dedicated, dedicated to your dream, have the right attitude, do not give up. What it takes most is a sense of humor, being able to take rejection as something that is not personal. Each show requires it’s own look, each outfit, each designer wants to present what they feel is representative of their work. As a model, it’s not you they are seeing, it’s the clothing. Your job as a model is to sell the clothes. You WILL be noticed if your goal is the job at hand.
I use huddles quick pose and a walk replacer. I have plenty of poses to choose from. As a basic start, get those and practice. Map out an area, practice walking up and down that area, turn smoothly, pose smoothly until it’s second nature. One of the schools is a great route, but it wasn’t one that I took. The schools are perfectly suited to help you walk, create folders, change, make shapes, all the things required to have a full set of tools to draw from. But all if it is for nothing unless you practice. Yes, that patch of grass or beach you map out to practice on will be your best friend.
Anyone can look great in Second Life but there’s only ONE of YOU. Make YOU shine through. How do you do that? By being dedicated, respectful, humble, helpful, available and trustworthy. Sound a little girl scoutish? Maybe, but it works. Designers aren’t looking for bots, they’re looking for your personality. It’s the truest and greatest gift you can give here, and your biggest asset, not your looks.
I’ll write more on my personal experience as a model in the hopes I come up with something that will help, something that I can pass along, something that helps bring you…and me…to the surface.
xxoo

Steampunk Apocalypse is a fun and funky new item from League. If you’re looking to sail the sea, conquore worlds or just to know where you’re going this outfit delivers. Fun neutral colors lets you add your own color styling choices. It comes complete with layered vest options, corsett, prim skirt and glitch pants. The fun Astrolabe arm belt helps you find direction and the leg belt is a nice accessory. League is quickly becoming one of my favorites and I find myself going back often to see what’s new. Give them a look…you’ll love it too. League Mainstore @Steam Forge,FairChang Lost Isle(116, 226, 31) Asta Boots by Zhao Shoes!
