MISS VIRTUAL WORLD MODELING ACADEMY CLASS 106, PART 3

For Class 106, part 3, we once again had to create an outfit using two different designers.  The challenge this time was NATURE'S LENS.  I chose to deviate from traditional style.  Nature, to me, is about plants and animals, so I wanted to incorporate those into my look.

And, next, on to graduation.  I am looking forward to graduation very much!

Until we meet again, have a wonderful life!

The second challenge in the MVW Modeling Academy Class 106 was SPRING SKIRT.  For this challenge, we had to put together an outfit using two different designers.  Well, for me, spring is represented by the flourishing of life.  Sweet Tea makes some very cute and unique clothing.  Luckily, I had just purchased the perfect item for this challenge.  It comes as a complete outfit which comes with a HUD so you can change all the different components of top and bottom.  I chose pink for the under-skirt to represent the flowers of spring.  I chose an insect pattern for the over-skirt to represent the insect life of spring.  And, the brown belt represents the earth from which the plants grow; the plants grow and the insects nourish the plants, completing the circle of life.


This exquisite Mesh Butterfly Necklace in CopperEmerald comes from That Chick, from a gacha that has a selection of several beautiful pieces.


This cute, little, feminine ruffled tube top from {dollle*} ties in the back to create the ultimate fluff of spring.  Here, you can also see the insect print of the fabric in closer detail.  My wrist is adorned in the SCARABEUS bangle from Formanails, with matching ring.  These accessories are the perfect compliment to the outfit.


And, of course, the perfect shoes!  Dirty Princess created these delicate, butterfly-adorned confections.

MISS VIRTUAL WORLD MODELING ACADEMY CLASS 106, PART 1

Greetings to all!

Once again, I have entered the realm of blogger world.  This time, as you most likely have seen, I am going to talk about my MVW Modeling Class 106 experience, part 1.  

Reign Congrejo conducted three days of intense and very good classes that became the polishing cream to my modeling foundation.  It was during this series of three classes that I finally struggled out of my learning cocoon to emerge with the confidence to be who and what I am.  This is what you will see in the future--a reflection of me.

So, let's proceed with the show!

The first assignment was LUXE LOUNGE.  I ended up not wearing what I really wanted to wear, only to learn it would have been the perfect thing for me to wear.  Learning experience gained! 

So, what I did come up with was a nice comfy outfit.  I really like oversized shirts, and this one from Mohna Lisa Couture is just the thing.  Lindy's Shoes has a good selection of flats, and I chose the LYNNE NUDE for SLINK FLAT FEET.  And, to pull it all together, I chose a cute little clutch from All that Glitters.  

Here, you can see that ensemble:

THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED, MISS VIRTUAL WORLD MODELING ACADEMY

Hello everyone!

Okay, Steele keeps pestering me to write a blog.  Blog?!   So here it is, my first ever blog entry.  I like to write, but…  Am I able to do a blog?  We’ll see…

I thought I would start where this all started--with the Miss Virtual World Modeling Academy.  I had attended some of the Miss Virtual World competitions and was thrilled to see the fantastic outfits the ladies wore.  I thought I would like to do that, too.  But, I knew I could not do it if I didn’t know how to model.  So, what better school to attend to learn how to do this than to the very one that is at the heart of the competition?

Steele Sirnah was a friend of mine, but we never really talked much about modeling.  I told him I wanted to attend the Miss Virtual World Modeling Academy.  He is an instructor there, and, luckily for me, he agreed to be my instructor.  He has a passion for what he does, and he will light the fire of passion underneath you, too, whether you want any fire or not. *laugh* Let me tell you, he is ONE tough cookie!  If you want top-notch knowledge, skill, professionalism, integrity, and honesty, then head to Steele.  If you have a thin skin and don’t want to hear it exactly as it is, the good, the bad, and the ugly, then do not, I repeat, do not go to Steele!

So, with that being said, I thought I would next give the results of the weekly challenges Steele presented us with in the Miss Virtual World Modeling Academy.  

The first one was NATIVE AMERICAN.  I was excited to hear that!  I am part Native American, Salish tribe, and grew up on a reservation in Montana.  I also am a gothic girl, so I decided to combine the two into my first outfit.

The crow plays a large part in Salish heritage and culture, and I happen to like crows and ravens very much, so I absolutely had to incorporate this element into my outfit.

Here, you can see the results of that:

HAIR

The next week, we had two challenges.


The first challenge was called TEST OUTFIT.  Steele passed us a quite plain brown tank top, pants, and awful system long skirt.  I changed the sleeves from a tank to long and completely ignored the skirt.  As I worked on the outfit, it began to take on a unique life of its own.  I came to like it more and more as it flourished. When it was done, I actually was pleased with the look.

The second look was CASUAL CHICK.  A nice pair of black denim jeans with white stitching and a nice white denim jacket with black lining to match seemed to be just the thing.  I couldn't go with nothing on under the jacket, so how casual can you get with a skull t-shirt?

Since the beautiful necklace and earrings had studs in them, I thought matching flats with studs would be perfect.  And, what better than a little black clutch with sequins to add a bit of finishing-touch chick to it all.

The next week continued with two more challenges.  


First up was a DR. WHO inspiration.  Well, and I cringe in advance of all those who love Dr. Who, but I don't like Dr. Who, and, with that, inspiration was a little low-key.  *laugh*  I think it probably shows in my finished outfit, but I had fun doing it.


Originally, I had chosen a bow tie to go with the outfit.  I wanted to use a man's vest to keep "in character," and I knew just the one!  The dragonfly vest from Dragon's Designs.  Well, with all those gold dragonflies about, I just HAD to wear my Libelula dragonfly necklace and ring from Bliensen + MaiTai.  Sorry, cute bow tie!


And, because you can't see my shoes very well in the main pictures, I took a special picture of them to show off the exquisite craftsmanship of these Amelia Stiletto for SLINK High by Pure Poison.

The second challenge was inspired by SOMA magazine.  Color, color, color!  Well, just because I am a gothic girl does not mean I don't appreciate color.  In fact, my favorite color happens to be--pink, fuchsia, to be exact.  *laugh*

I call this my "50s retro outfit for the new age."  The shoes from Hollywood fit this outfit just right.  I love this hair from Runaway.  The butterfly actually is a mask from Diamente, which comes with a hud with six different colors to choose from.  I turned the mask over, resized it, and placed it on my chest to attain this unique adornment.

The next week brought two more challenges, the GOTHIC PROM and the 1/2 HOUR CHALLENGE: BRITISH PUNK.

Once again, I was delighted to hear the first challenge, the GOTHIC PROM, since I am a gothic girl. I had to wear one of my favorite gowns. I love feathers, and this feather underskirt is really a beauty. I only had to buy two things for this challenge--a tiara and a bracelet to match my lovely Zuri Rayna Czarina necklace.  Madrid Solo creates fantastic makeups, and this Mamba goes perfectly with my look.  Again, I took a separate picture of the fantastic shoes by Diamente.  They come with a nice little hud to change the various components of the shoes.

And, finally, the last challenge, the nail-biter, also known as the 1/2 HOUR CHALLENGE: BRITISH PUNK.  

I like to take my time while getting dressed, so half an hour to polish an outfit was pushing the limit, to be sure.  Fortunately for me, my inventory is an eclectic conglomeration and it didn't take long to locate this cute little plaid skirt and jacket from Hudson's.  CentoPallini has some really neat accessories, and the Fishbone necklace and bracelets complimented the rock style.  I adore these Yumi shoes from SAKIDE, with their zippers, spikes, and three adorable bows.  I was lucky enough to win the fat pack with color change hud in a gacha.

And, there you have it.

I complained, mumbled, groaned, and dragged my feet about doing a blog, but the more I dragged, the harder Steele’s whip cracked, until, at last, he got a result.  And, I must say, I have very much enjoyed doing this blog!  Steele brings out the best in a person; there is no doubt of it.  I think he may just have created a blogging monster!

And, those are my last words for the day.  Thank you for staying with me to the very end.  Have a great day!
