Improving yourself in a metaverse world

From the moment I started in SL Fashion ( from November 2008), I went through a process of self improvement.
We all may say that. It has to do with developing your avatar, shape, skins, etc.

Actually, we may start there, but that's not what I mean. Just let me show you. Images may tell us if our avatar is good, beautiful, if you are a good photo model. Indeed they can.

The first photo I took to enter a SL Model Competition:



*smiles*

Oh dear!! *laughs*
From that moment on, with this photo taken by me, with no skills on editing any photo ( I still don't ehehe) , this is the last one I took, myself.



Without any extremely demanding photo edition, we can tell the difference. Or at least I can *smiles*

My point goes beyond the difference in the avatar, skin, shape.
I have learned so much!!!
And I mean personally!
How can you tell, in a metaverse universe such as SL who you can actually trust, who your friends really are?

Well, you can't, right away.
But time... time and actually paying attention to people's actions (let's not forget that behind each avie is a real person), you can tell!

For me, SL Fashion World has been a way to improve myself, as a real woman. Improve my own elegance, pay attention to all details, actually see how people can be in a highly competitive permanent situation.

Oh yes and here you can tell who your friends really are.
So, right now, I may say that I've met wonderful people, beautiful inside! One of these ladies is very special to me and will always be! Seashell Dench is my avatar in SL, but behind it , there is a woman. I can feel, we all can, no matter so many people may say that SL is just a "game".
Well, it is. But you are actually interacting with real people, from all over the world.

So, let me introduce you to my SL Fashion Mentor. I love this lady and she will always be special to me! One of a kind! Personally, I am loyal beyond belief. So is she!



You mean very much to me, Ms Sydney Nitely!!
No words will ever be enough to express my gratitude to you!

The Journey - Seashell Dench

Hi :)
I'm Sea (well, you must have figured that out by now *smiles*).
Always dare to follow your dreams, that's what led me to Fashion SL World!

I may start my blog by telling you my three favourite "must do":

. Be yourself always!
. Trust in you!
. You are UNIQUE!

So, the journey starts :)
Learning is something you do, always. Love learning, so I personally never think I "know it all by now".
Even when I get to be a very very old SL Model (*smiles*) I know, for sure, I'll always be learning!

My goal... to be the best I can be. To develop myself as a human being, a woman, a Second Life Model.
Not comparing to anyone, because it makes no sense that we are "like" somebody else. Each of us is unique. If you think you need to copy somebody to be a popular model... you've lost your uniqueness!

Dare!
Welcome! Maybe you'll find my blog a little too "personal" for a SL Fashion blog, but... that's me! I'll share the experiences I've had, not only the awsome SL designers we do actually have or the stylish we can be, our gorgeous avatars.

Oh yes, I'll get personal :)
