MISS VIRTUAL DIVA FACE OF FASHION LIVE AUDITION "KISS THE BRIDE" STYLING

I am very happy to have been chosen to move on to the second phase of the Miss Virtual Diva Face of Fashion competition, the Live Audition. There were almost 30 ladies who participated this year in the Live Audition portion of the Miss Virtual Diva Face of Fashion competition. Those with the highest scores will move on to be official Miss Virtual Diva Face of Fashion contestants. It would be fantastic if we all could move on to be official contestants!

Our assignment was to choose a couture design from the Virtual Diva store and create a bridal styling. I chose the lovely Timeless Gown Couture Beige as the basis for my styling.  I absolutely love this color, and it was a great inspiration for my styling.

This is my photo submission for the Live Audition "Kiss the Bride" styling:

This is the description I wrote for the Live Audition "Kiss the Bride" styling:

When I think of weddings, I think of outdoor weddings, and I especially love the colors of autumn, and so this became the inspiration for my Kiss the Bride wedding styling, using autumnal golds, oranges, and browns to accentuate the lovely autumn color of Virtual Diva's Timeless Gown Couture Beige, a rich silk design with a lovely large bow on the front of the dress.

Thinking of the outdoors, I naturally am reminded of the living things that abound in nature, and so I adorned myself with living things, from the amazing Musha Yellow mushroom hair accessory from Lode, to the delicate Eugenia insects from LaGyo on my hair and on the mushrooms, to the adorable Honeybee earrings from Finesmith, to the chic Bee Bracelet from Touchic, to the ChicChica Precious Rose Gold long-stemmed rose I carry in my right hand, to the simple little Dandelion Flowers and Petals from Coal's Corner that float gracefully around me, and right down to the Scattered Roses petals under my feet by Artisan Fantasy, There is even a happy golden spider that rides gracefully on my Gold Mesh Spider Veil by Maria.

To me, autumn is very rich in texture, and I wanted to accentuate the richness of Virtual Diva's Timeless Gown Couture Beige by adding MMC's Morganna Bodysuit beneath the gown. I added a hair veil and gown train from Drama Zone, and chose silk opera gloves from Etchaflesh. To complete my look, I chose to wear Aisling's Nura Collar with Gems and Chains with texture-change options. Of course, i chose metals and gems that are autumnal colors that match my entire outfit and beautifully showcase Virtual Diva's Timeless Gown Couture Beige.

What a wonderful wedding day this will be!

MISS VIRTUAL DIVA FACE OF FASHION APPLICATION

I am happy to participate in this year's Miss Virtual Diva Face of Fashion. The first stage of the process was the application, from which candidates would be chosen to move on to the second stage of the competition, the Live Audition.  For the application phase, we had to choose a couture dress from Virtual Diva store and create a black and white couture style and submit a photo of this styling.

I chose the Dejavu Gown Couture Bride Romance in white because I absolutely adore the unique style of the gown, with the exotic peplum that flows back and down into an impressive V-shaped tail. The style reminds me of the classic, elegant femme fatales of the old horror movies.

The extravagant, frilled collar frames my face beautifully, just like it would the lovely face of many long-ago dark ladies slinking through the night. I love sequins, and, if you look closely, you can see the bodice of this Dejavu gown is iced with them, and a sequin belt accentuates my waist perfectly.

Here is my photo submission:

THE GIRL BEHIND THE CAMERA

I called this photo "The Girl Behind the Camera" because I almost exclusively take all my own photos. However, this is usually in a blogging or informational capacity. Today, the photo is about my new profile photo in Second Life.

Sometimes, I see something someone is wearing--an outfit, an accessory, a beautiful makeup, and I wonder where they got that...but, they have not given any information about what they are wearing, or using, or where to get it. I like to share this information with others because I know I like to have it available for me. So, here are the credits for the photo so anyone can find these things if they also want them.

But, first, the new photo.
