body talks...

After much consideration...

... I decided to place here my Modelling Diplomas.

It is, in fact, very important that we have SL training to model.
However, training is not enough... I mean the diplomas. Once you start dedicating yourself to an activity, I strongly believe that we are learning all the time!

I never take anything for granted, always learn, watch many Fashion Shows in SL and observe. If you do this, you can tell, really, even in SL, who is a good Model or who is "just there", for whatever reasons there may be - oh and there are many reasons ... ;)

So, my diplomas, in chronological order.

I must say I met wonderful people in these three SL Modelling Academies! Some of them should be on those beautiful runways we have in SL... really!

SuperElite Academy Advanced and Elite Graduate - February 2009


UVogue Models Institute Graduate (former InStyle Model Academy) - March 2009

After this training, time and life (the Second) will tell :)

Maseno Project II - Garments of Hope

I told you... I was going to get personal...

I just love this photo... don't know exactly why *smiles*




Let's get to the point!
In SL Fashion World, I guess the same in RL Fashion, competition is huge among Models. There are, in fact many people, especially female avatars that want to be SL Models. It's fine.

However, there are some "borders" I will not cross: first one is actually my own principles and values. I mean RL ones. SL is an extension of me, not a RL substitute at all. So, I will never "lick any ass" to climb to a "top Model position", I am never rude to anybody also. Somewhere in the middle is the balance. My work, as an SL Model, my actions will show my true value. My good friends as well :)

We must never forget that SL is an interactive game; behind an avatar is a real person!! We may be SL Models... in RL, some very "powerful" Fashion related people, may as well be an old lady sitting in a wheelchair or a man with a female avatar and vice-versa!! Actually, we don't know!
There is a thin line between what's "real" and what is the "game" inside the game itself.
In SL Fashion Industry, I know of some situations we can ... well, cry about them or laugh at them. I prefer to laugh, cause actually, some people are funny!

Like in a contest you enter, as an SL Model, and another Model accuses you of cheating (for some reason). Why is that? *laughs*

If there is a good and honest Model Contest, with a panel of judges, what's the use of accusing another Model of cheating? I mean actually go on open chat and accuse one of the Contest participants of cheating. Why is that?
If you have a panel of judges, well... report that to the judges and let them decide.

I see only one thing that makes me laugh... why do some people in SL act like this?
Because they are bitter inside, they are jealous of the so called "success". Funny, isn't it?

If that ever happens to you , as a Model... ignore these people. Really!! And have fun, that's the whole point, isn't it? Be professional, nice, polite and simply... ignore them.

Let's see what happens :)

I told you, I would get personal :)
