I don't like compromising my principles for anything. I have to be true to myself. This often leads to me being black balled, looked down upon and overall being shunned by certain circles, but I'm OK with that. <br />
<br />
It is a rare occasion when I find a brave soul, either in SL or RL, that has the strength of character to remain true to him/herself in the face of certain harsh repercussions. Because of this, I have decided that when I do find a person of such high level of integrity and strength of character that I must award him or her the STEEL STILETTO award. <br />
<br />
For the first winner of this award, I have chosen a woman who's class, poise, intelligence, grace and professionalism I see as top in her class. This woman has put in all of the hard work necessary to earn the respect of everyone in the fashion industry. Even though she has reached a level of fame most only dream of, she is still honest, genuine and approachable, without the slightest hint of Divadom. <br />
<br />
Recently she, in a fashion befitting the style of Margaret Thatcher, with utmost grace, tact and poise, stood up for herself and refused to compromise her ideals and sense of self deciding to become independent of a very glamorous and prestigious fashion icon house. This is not to say that the fashion house she is parting ways from is wrong in any way, but simply that they want very different things. <br />
<br />
I applaud her valor in recognizing when it was time to leave the party. Most of us, stay far too long in positions, organizations and relationships that have long outlived their usefulness for either party. It takes a very strong sense of self in order to recognize when it is time to move on. Because of her beauty, intelligence, grace, poise and overall elegance in making her feelings known and exiting with the utmost class, I am awarding the very first STEEL STILETTO award to Miss Rusalka Callisto!<br />
<br />
Miss Callisto, thank you for showing the rest of us, what it is like to be the best in every situation. Your grace under fire is an inspiration to us all!<br />

<br />
RL work is kicking my behind so it's keeping me away from SL for a while. However, when there is such a worthy event as Fashion for Life I must take the time to bring attention to it. <a href="http://www.fashionforlifesl.org/">http://www.fashionforlifesl.org/</a><br />

This event is a fundraiser for cancer research! I know my family has been touched by cancer many times over and I can personally tell you that we need to find a way to beat this monster. I urge you to visit the inworld location and check out all of the stores. They have amazingly beautiful fashions and the money goes to a worthy cause. Here's Tres Beau's store to get you started: http://slurl.com/secondlife/DreamSeeker%20Epoque/118/127/27<br />
<br />
Kimmera Madison is presenting as one of her limited edition Fashion for Life gowns, a custom gown she created for me: Red Carpet in Royal Blue. It's a fantastic formal gown, in the usual flawless design she is known for. This is a royal blue satin gown with silver lace overlay that has a chapel length train. It is a body hugging mermaid silhouette, which brings out all of your deliciously dangerous curves. The top is adorned with a one shoulder design of it's soft satin draped and topped off with silver roses that frame the face delicately. Ladies, this gown is breathtaking! I suggest you get your smexy butts over there ASAP and get it before it's gone forever.<br />

<br />
I know it has been a while since I posted, but RL sometimes takes over, especially during the holidays! However, I am now back, rested and ready to RAWK!<br />
<br />
I'm not sure if you all know, but I am currently participating in the Miss America Latina 2012 pageant. Though I am from Puerto Rico originally, I will be representing the nation of Guatemala. As one of our tasks for the contest, each participant was tasked with finding a TOP NOTCH designer to make a one of a kind gown for her to wear as her formal gown in the competition. As you can imagine it is quite difficult to obtain a gown of such quality. I searched my inventory to find which designer in my opinion had the kind of creative artistry and supreme attention to detail and found the answer in a wonderful french expression: TRES BEAU!<br />
<br />
Oh yes, Tres Beau, which means VERY BEAUTIFUL, is just that! The creative genius behind this fashion house is called Kimmera Madison Fall. Her designs are beautiful, elegant and whimsical. The choice of soft silks, shiny satins, flowing chiffon, and intricate lace in her dresses is breathtaking. Each piece has it's own story to tell. <br />
<br />
The gowns from this fashion powerhouse are both timeless and cutting edge. Many of her pieces can and are mix and matched with other pieces in a model's closet to create rare and unique ensembles that become the envy of all! Below I am wearing the Tres Beau Polka Spot in Red dress. I paired it with sequence black leggings and Finesmith Alexandra jewelry to give it a more edgy and modern look.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
She married young to an idealist lawyer convinced he could make a better future for the citizens of Chicago, even though everyone knew the mob continues to run their speakeasies and buy the politicians and cops. She loved his optimism and righteousness. She comes from a good family of social standing and class. ....so how is it that this same woman could fall in love with a mob thug?<br />
<br />
She lives in her guilded cage, protected from all but yearning for adventure. It had been too long since she felt her pulse race with excitement. As she walked home from the theater one night, her husband left her to deal with some new murder that was reported to the State Attorney's Office. She was but two blocks from home and felt completely safe. Had she known what was ahead of her, perhaps she would have asked her husband to take her with him....or maybe not.<br />
<br />
He was hiding in the shadows of the alley before her block. Her eyes softly glancing ahead, lost in thought arranging her appointments for the following day, she didn't even hear his footsteps as he stepped behind her. Suddenly his strong arms embraced her from behind in a tight grip lifting her off the ground. A large hand covered her mouth. <br />
<br />
Her heart was beating strong and fast as wild fear and excitement filled her veins. He pulled her into the alley and into the darkness. He whispered softly into her ear with a voice that resembled the low growl of a wild lion. "Don't make a sound lady and I will let you live." She could barely breathe! <br />
<br />
"I have a message for you, and you need to pay attention cause I don't repeat myself. The boss wants you to get us information on the case your husband is working on. If you do this, I will let you and your family live. If you don't give me nothin' then well, I gots to do my job."<br />
<br />
Her veins went cold with fear at the words. The man stepped back just enough to be able to finally see his face. Through the shadows a hint of light glistened on his grey eyes. His gaze was penetrating. His lips were full and inviting, yet seemed fearsome, as if he could devour you instantly. There was a scar across one of his brows that gave his face a strong character. He was strong and tall, and most definitely looked like he meant business.<br />
<br />
She swallowed hard and said, "very well Sir...And what shall I call you and how will I find you?" He grinned seductively at her. "My name is Myrlin and I'll find you"<br />

I absolutely adore the color scheme with all it's rust, oranges, reds, yellows and browns. Also, there is something very comforting about super soft and warm knits that just makes it feel like comfort food to me. It's like the clothes are hugging you softly and keeping you nice and cozy in the crisp autumn air. I must tell you, I am very happy to have found the store called Prism thanks to my friend Jai who just MUST take me shopping sometimes. :)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To check out the store for yourself just take this taxi over: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Bal%20Harbour/30/167/22">http://slurl.com/secondlife/Bal%20Harbour/30/167/22</a> .</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Today I bring you three outfits that I just had to have for when I want to rock the uber sexy and classy fall look while checking out the sites in SL. The first is called Savanna, and I got this outfit in Orange! It has a gorgeous Giraffe print on the cropped top (cause I just needed to have something that was between warm and hawt). The jeans that come with it are in the matching color and fit like a glove! I love that the knit top has very nice long sleeves that flare out just a tiny bit to keep my hands nice and warm.</span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">At this year's fashion week in NY the "IT" model this year was</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-style: italic;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Andrej Pejic</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">, who made his debut closing the spring Jean Paul Gaultier show in Paris; also walks for John Galliano, Paul Smith, and Raf Simons. What makes this model any different from all the others? Andrej is a MAN modeling as a WOMAN. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">His androgynous looks, 5'11" extra slim frame that has no hips or breasts makes him the perfect ideal for designers that are looking for the slim to the extreme look. I have to say, if you look at the pictures of him on the runway you would never guess he's a man. His looks make him appear as a gorgeous young blonde. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">Here's my question, if you can use a male model in RL to model women's fashion, what's the problem with RL males working as a FEMALE MODEL in SL or vice versa? </span></span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0nzshdfar_qKTUHeQCtPy1oK9QZCQAQGPbSQQajhkJoN9OFMvGOQNg4tKoxlZJF5uh2V3eR0n54rmz-WsoeFvCN0bL_cu0tn-H6bfDWzs8olIrXE5LPg3Rz_TXDC16iS2WWAIN8mvoHNb/s1600/Katy+Perry+half+boy+half+girl+outfit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0nzshdfar_qKTUHeQCtPy1oK9QZCQAQGPbSQQajhkJoN9OFMvGOQNg4tKoxlZJF5uh2V3eR0n54rmz-WsoeFvCN0bL_cu0tn-H6bfDWzs8olIrXE5LPg3Rz_TXDC16iS2WWAIN8mvoHNb/s320/Katy+Perry+half+boy+half+girl+outfit.jpg" width="213" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">In SL each of us is free to be whatever we so choose. You can be any number of creatures, size from Mega to Tiny, or race. So I ask you, why do so many make such a big deal about whether or not the person behind the avatar modeling or competing for the crown in some pageant is in fact of the OPPOSITE SEX?</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">I personally don't have any interest in playing a boy in SL since I do love girl clothes so much, but I really couldn't care less if Bob in California wants to be Jenny in SL. I don't understand why anyone would discriminate against anyone in SL based on what or who they are in RL. Real Life has NOTHING to do with who we choose to be in Second Life. Don't get me wrong, we bring in our personal values, ethics and personality traits, but we should not be limited by our RL selves in world. After all, if we in fact had to provide REAL pictures of what we look like in RL most of us, me included, would not be models! I mean geez, SL is the only place I can eat cheesecake and still be a size zero with abnormally long legs and a waist size that could not support my body in RL. LOL</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">I propose to you...stop discriminating against cross gender SL players! A male playing a female or a female playing a male model doesn't have any negative impact on our business. They aren't "lying" about who they are, the ARE this avatar in SL. As long as they perform their jobs to as professionals, the gender behind the avatar should not affect the state of affairs in our industry. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br />

Let go of your bigotry and open up your mind to the possibilities that SL provides.</span></span></span>Morgain Le Fayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15172690730860671619noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911251669725142974.post-81411437301596278742011-10-14T13:35:00.000-07:002011-10-14T13:35:55.497-07:00Pretty in Prism...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg83cHhhVmvN6y436dQdu69POnKCG-d_RSYa-kU6qWT0CTjmV74u8YdJghGFtWjtOU2NEMHELvKm48OgKGLwBDEJ9S6MzXEhxyBUl2L8ts8XjiK-Sm5HqyrjHM4fCyDxpkRR_5P8hhI2Aua/s1600/Prism+outfit_009.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg83cHhhVmvN6y436dQdu69POnKCG-d_RSYa-kU6qWT0CTjmV74u8YdJghGFtWjtOU2NEMHELvKm48OgKGLwBDEJ9S6MzXEhxyBUl2L8ts8XjiK-Sm5HqyrjHM4fCyDxpkRR_5P8hhI2Aua/s200/Prism+outfit_009.png" width="200" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

She is a merchant who believes there is nothing quite like visiting an actual store. I personally begin all of my shopping trips on Marketplace. What happened next lead me to this posting.....we argued as to whether or not inworld shopping will eventually become extinct in favor of Marketplace shopping.<br />
<br />
To be honest, I think there is room for both in Second Life. After all, in RL many of us shop online and still real stores still exist. However, it depends on the goods and/or services. For example, all video rental stores and book shops have closed down as more and more people realize they can get the same goods from the comfort of their own homes and with less cost and more variety. <br />
<br />
On the other hand, we know there are goods that simply must be purchased at an actual store due to the fact that either we need to try them on, or we want the tactile reassurance of their quality. In other words, we want to touch and feel them to make sure they are what we really want.<br />
<br />
How does that translate to Second Life though? It's not like you have to try on a pair of shoes to make sure they fit. So how can merchants ensure their continued presence inworld when shopping on Marketplace is so easy and efficient? I attempted to convince my friend to understand the virtues of being on both simultaneously. <br />
<br />
I can tell you personally, some of my favorite stores inworld, are places I found when I was window shopping on Marketplace. Often times, I will find a random item on Marketplace and it makes me want to see the store. It's where I go, when I want to explore new and interesting designs. I would suggest not putting ALL of your stock on Marketplace; simply a sampling to get our appetites going for your goods. It will draw our attention and lead us to explore your store inworld. <br />
<br />
I'm not saying people don't use the inworld search and tp around to see what new places they can find. I am one that does random tps around just to explore. All I'm suggesting is that to stay relevant and increase traffic to your store, I would consider posting some of your merchandise on Marketplace.<br />
<br />
Well that's just my two cents worth....Going back to my online window shopping now :) Enjoy!Morgain Le Fayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15172690730860671619noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911251669725142974.post-62522666696014551932011-10-06T06:50:00.000-07:002011-10-06T06:50:35.311-07:00You are NOT your hair.....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6_ideLX-m_tiskWIg9TqLJ9o-becVQSanqdGORL3lsW7nx9zl16T8hD7voyS_Av7QNHJ8lcvsjILf6cLaYszKEjlybPq7u2_JOx1m-LB1Z9GGL5MdXookqDlyYtAuqBprwOdAfE2cWo8k/s1600/Nudehairless_007.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6_ideLX-m_tiskWIg9TqLJ9o-becVQSanqdGORL3lsW7nx9zl16T8hD7voyS_Av7QNHJ8lcvsjILf6cLaYszKEjlybPq7u2_JOx1m-LB1Z9GGL5MdXookqDlyYtAuqBprwOdAfE2cWo8k/s400/Nudehairless_007.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
What makes you beautiful as a woman? Is it the size or shape of your breasts? Is it the hair on your head? Is it the makeup on your face? NO! It is your spirit. Your femininity is held in your loving heart, that is so full of compassion for others. It is kept in the arms that you use to hold and comfort someone. It is in your smile that brightens even the darkest of days. It is your strength that supports those around you as they make their way through the worst parts of their lives. All of these attributes are yours forever and cannot be taken away.<br />
<br />
This one goes out to our mothers, daughters, sisters and friends who fight every day to stay with us and inspire us yet one more day. You show us what true beauty is....inside and out!Morgain Le Fayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15172690730860671619noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911251669725142974.post-41503052496625064382011-10-05T11:06:00.000-07:002011-10-05T11:06:18.446-07:00Is there room for new blood in the fashion industry?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizHE9Ts0z8drXlf25xQNqX8h-Ew-Tg4q9D-5zjfle8TJeRRSaRzUe2l4VHgSCczj4CbO8f4mTEgvArzeJKKLZKP_0LSJGNvoRbTfs4dd15eMi56Im790EwjFzGif4H2SsBizb6d_V-MidW/s1600/bloody+knife.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="148" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizHE9Ts0z8drXlf25xQNqX8h-Ew-Tg4q9D-5zjfle8TJeRRSaRzUe2l4VHgSCczj4CbO8f4mTEgvArzeJKKLZKP_0LSJGNvoRbTfs4dd15eMi56Im790EwjFzGif4H2SsBizb6d_V-MidW/s200/bloody+knife.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>It seems everywhere I turn I see the same faces on walls, print, magazines, at castings, shows and even contests. It's become the norm, that if a model is an established name/well known face she can pretty much walk into any casting or contest and expect to be in the top three at bare minimum. Now, if more than one show up, the rest of us should pretty much just walk home as we are just background dancers to their Prima Donna performance. <br />
<br />
Why is this so? My limited experience and the word on the street says that up and coming designers are desperate for the marketing asset that an SL Supermodel can bring to their brand. That of course, is a smart and sensible marketing strategy. You need a good reputation fast so you hire a star to endorse your product. I suppose that it's working, otherwise we, the general public and consumers, wouldn't frequent some of the lesser known shops. <br />
<br />
This is not to take away from the incredible work that these Supermodels turn out. I'm not implying that they are not deserving of their reputations or status. On the contrary, I bow to their greatness and acquiesce to their supreme knowledge of styling, for it is them who inspire us to become better. <br />
<br />
However, what I am questioning here today, is whether or not there is room for new blood in that category. See, in RL, models AGE. Where Cindy Crawford and Tyra Banks were once at the top of their game, now they work behinds the scenes, while newer, fresher faces are allowed the spotlight. <br />
<br />
What happens in a world where there is no aging, and you can change your physical appearance at will to keep with the current trends? Does this mean that the ones that are at the top, will never get old, will never be dated and can work as THEE face of SL for eternity? <br />
<br />
Where does this leave the rest of us? I have seen many try to become clones of the select few Icons of SL. More and more schools teach models how to make their shapes mimic those of these models and some even suggest having their shapes made either in the image or by the star herself. Are we to become interchangeable drones? Copies of copies of copies......of the original?<br />

In a world that is sooooooo afraid to stray from what worked in the past, and is so focused on worshiping the ones that are the "standard," how do you make people take notice and SEE what's new and exciting? Is it even possible, or has the fashion industry just become the next PREFAB? Perhaps they will begin to make model templates and issue them at the schools, to make it easier to assimilate.

</tbody></table><div>Do you know that moment? Do you remember how it felt in gym class when you are standing with the rest of the group as the two kids in the front pick from your peers? They keep calling them; Jimmy, Suzy, Penny, Rob, and yet you are still standing. </div><div><br />
</div><div>In your mind you keep thinking, "they are going to call my name any second," but they don't. Now you are standing all alone as you look at the kid's face who's turn it is to pick and see that look of disappointment. </div><div><br />
</div><div>You stand there looking at each other with that look of quiet resignation and sigh as you make your way towards the team in which you are inevitably forced to play. </div><div><div><br />
</div><div>Yup, that was me..... The pale goth girl who really just wanted to sit in the corner and read, but due to regulations was forced to play nice with the other kids, even though they were all sort of scared of her. *grins wickedly</div><div><br />
</div><div>Needless to say, I have extensive experience in being the odd one out :) Why do I tell you this strange little story you may ask? Because, I want you to understand that my need to be different and see things in a different light is not an attempt to be rebellious, it is WHO and WHAT I am at my core. </div><div><br />
</div><div>If you chose to follow my blog, you should expect the unexpected, for I do not like to be typecast in any small box. My blog might contain an article about how to be the most disgustingly chic zombie in the post apocalypse one day, and talk about how to properly style your Haute Couture dress in a vintage old Hollywood style the next. </div><div><br />
