Alba Fashion creativity show

Group Photo

It was a great show and even if our best friend in SL, Mr Lag, did not release us a few disturbances came to disturb us, perhaps for Lua and Suzie.

Nina & Debbie

I will use this time to tell sorry to Suzie ;-). Indeed, towards the end of the show she asked whether she were not Topless, she was seeing herself topless. As Iw as behind her , I saw her back and could her shirt, I thus answered her that not, for me she was well. But later when she had turn, in fact her breast was naked, her shirt remaining quite open. I already can hear the question of the assiduous males reader seeking a photograph of the event, I answer immediately: not I didn't took any photography

Aisha

Apart this incident which is Secondlife and network risks all had run almost good .

I had the privilege to turn with Debbie and Laylah. Maybe Nina had more suffered of the lag, and we did our turns and while remaining patient one could evolve/move without concern and do one crowned job as say some.

Lisana also did a great job, not only she was performing too but she also guided us and organized all around us.

Lua

I now let you look at these photos, I could take some at the end, they will tell more about Alba' Creativity

It happened in Classical with Style.

See you soon in world.

CWS Finale 2010 Best Gothic/halloween

The Gothic just like Halloween are not really my kind of topics. Despite everything I was registered with this contest of Classical with Style before very taking part and seeing how are held these contests.

As I had joined it a little late, I was in a hurry. And before all I must thank Debbie and Aisha for their support.

This Finale proceeded in two parts: the first part was in Gothic, we had to stop 6 times at various places of the catway/stage and at each one playing 3 or 4 poses; the second part was Hallowen topic and was just to walk right towards the judges and to plays our poses until once our description presented we had to stand on the stahe and wait the end.

My Gothic Look

Aisha had nicely offered me an avatar for halloween and I decided to use it for the second round (turn). It allowed me to make a small humouristic “show”. Also I created some objects to make it still a little more crasy and I worked on his costume and the poses because I had the idea that the installations and the costumes would create the bond between the two turns.

For the first turn I created my own skin/make-up/tattoo to keep the bases of my face and not to look like anything, while taking this tone blafard and disaster. And even if it is an easy work for pros of SL, for me it was a new training.

My Halloween Look

Maybe I went too far in the bond between my two turns, and I did not explain it in my descriptions. What appeared obvious to me is not it inevitably for the others in this world of SecondLife where all must go fast and where the details are not used for nothing.

And I paid it rather expensive since the judges classified me before last. I believe, nevertheless, that my small “Halloween” show had pleased and gave fun and it is so much better.

In spite of the late time, very late for me in Europe, I evolved and moved exactly as I wished it, I remained concentrated and only the change of dress between the two turns posed a problem… SL crashed! but I could connect back very quickly.

It was my second contest this week and for the first time it was maybe too much. But no matter I cannot do anything and if it was to do again I will change nothing. I prefer to make something good and unique and finish the last than to just pay and play and win

I had a thought for those which in a way or another supported me: Aisha, Debbie, Laylah and Lua. I did all that while thinking of them and I really thank them.

P.S. The base of the misadventure of halloween was created by Jenne Dibou, I improved it to make it a little more insane.

A great show on this 2010 Sat October 9th

The show last night at Classic With Style was great. Oh not perfect because of the problems that cause this famous net lag, but I think almost everyone / all models and the staff liked it.
This show was about nils Tomorrow Creation.

On one hand I was happy to finally be with Lua and Nina. If I'm not mistaken this is the first time I attend a show with Nina. And I was even happier that Lua is also involved as she celebrated her birthday this week in SL, then somehow this show was like a gift I had the right to share.

Another point that made me happy was featured Debbie! She introduces the show alone, pity concentrated on my own part I could not take pictures!

This time I think we were more models than usually. And our tours chained themselves very fast. We had to change very quickly! With SL lag it ... is sport ;-)

I did two turns, one with Diana, and the other with Kyralin. I was leading every turn and if everything went well with Diana, during my tour with Kyralin, Lisana made us dance! oh lala! good! I will not say by how the why but I thought my computer was going crazy or that I had typed a key inappropriate! Lisana then personal message: sioupli pas recommencer :-)
Lisana in the upper photo is the one on the left! you with the right to avenge myself by clicking on hers nose in the hope that it tickles her and sneeze do ;-)

This time SL has not been too bad and neither sim nor models have crashed. ... In short we have done :-)

During this show, I listened to the delightful music of Frank Harper that a friend advised me. If you love beautiful music rich melodious and captivating listen it here for free and you even have the right to download music on Jamendo is free.
Being on stage and move it by listening this ... makes everything easier, lighter. I experienced a great moment.

To all of you ... breathe and enjoy the beauty and peace that enriches life.

See you soon :-)

Great JayGee Show on Oct 2nd

Last Saturday on October 2nd, 2010 Classical with style organized a show, in the beach, based on the clothes of JayGee. For once not too much of lag and almost everybody felt at ease.
If I missed Lua, between Lisana, Aisha, Emma and Debbie the show was assured.

On the photo above you can notice the presence of our quite new male model, who is Sid.
Sid did not make all the show but made the introduction and the close :-)


Sometimes the images say more than words and as I participated in this show, I cannot have full outside feelings, but I take advantage of this paper to present those who for me were magnificent and we make a magnificent performance.

Aisha wins easily competition, she is always completed, concentrated on her subject she is impressionante by her peace and her quality. To watch at her working is always a lesson.

To have twice been guided by her at the same time as Laylah had made me discover their mutual talent. With Nina and Emma, Laylah and Aisha is of model fine ladies.

Emma is a little bit different from Aisha but it is always an invaluable help for the others. I do not know her too much but I was already able to estimate(appreciate) his(her,its) high qualities. To work with her is also very pleasant.

Lisana is our leader. I do not go fayoter:-). But it was the first time when I did a turn with her during a show. I cannot judge it, on the contrary I would like that she judges me a little more and in a more critical way. She returns everything easier, she is naturally completed and with her we can almost evolve blindly. In brief my tour(ballot) with her was a delight and I hope to have étée at the height.

For all of us the new ones, Debbie is a little our mama. With her I have a lot learnt and thus I know that I cannot be objective. She knows what to do, she has great taste, and is a kind of leader except peer.
Many of us owe to her a lot.

Sometimes Sl is magic and these persons participate in it made the job with as a real pleasure.

I know the perfection is never to be reach but some try to approach it as closed ad possible .

It is a little the perfect part which we create and I too can dream only by looking at them.

See you soon, I hope....

Pageant , Talent and Firework :-)

It is very difficult to relate an event so rich and even more when everything was quickly linked and when most of the participants were excellent!

It belonged to Classical with style yesterday.

According to my taste and criteria, at the end, two models were far of the others. They were, Aisha who won on 2010 Ms Beautiful (when Debbie ended 4th, yes! Look for the error!), and Debbie who won the title of Ms Beautiful Photogenic 2010.

The expression part of the talent was a little bit special, by group of three they had to make a show. Aisha group looked like all that we can see in all the clubs of dance or gogogirls, on the other hand Debbie group made a show as a play! This group deserved an award! An original idea, an evident work, a lot of imagination and a real entertainment, as if we were at Theater , such as we can't see it often in SL.

In hers parade, Aisha was completed, maybe even too much, sometimes the best is ennemy of the good, but we cannot make a criticism. And I think that it is above that she can make the difference. Debbie seems to have a little more suffered from the lag and it had ben maybe in her disfavour. But well both won a prize and it is great.

They have all lot of merit as the Sim crashed at the beginning and during the parade of Emma's introduction. It's a pity because Emma is as well excellent, fortunately she was not in the competition. But afterward everything was very well and right.

Still congrats to Aisha, and especially to Debbie for her work, her imagination and what she brings to us all.

See you all later :-)

That of brides!

The competition(help) of yesterday had for subject the brides.

It gave me the opportunity to dress for the first time a bridal dress! And taht happened in Classical with style once again.
This competition attracted many competitors and for the first time in these competition of Thursday, by moments, I was able to feel little of lag. All these beautiful swirling white dresses.

I particularly liked Lua's dress, and it is not because I like her, she was the only one in sexy short dress and she brought some whim.

Then I also loved Kiralyn. But this time, also participating, I was not really able to follow everybody.

In any case the best were there, in any case almost any best; it was thus a difficult competition and above all for the judge who was Debbie!

Lacamal had chooses a suit / dress of Japanese inspiration, she gained(won) the competition(help) and merit for its original inspiration also.
Kiralyn ended second, and the third was Mrs Bondar.

It was a funny evening, but most hard was to have to go to train for the shows. In brief in the middle of the night I was able to find my pillow and to put to sleep me profoundly.

I forgot to take photos and I regret it especially since the dress of Lua deserved to be shown.

In any case see you soon I hope

Pajamas topmodels :-)

That takes place like that at CWS;-)

First Lua contest Judgement
Today the event was pajamas. But for me this competition had another meaning! Lua was the judge and it was hers first judgment time.
If she was a judge it was because she had won the last competition. And I was the judge..
I hesitated to participate because I did not want to put her the pressure to return the favour to me.
But I did not hesitate for a long time. Lua is intelligent and I knew that she would think of the same matter than me and would know that I waited for no dismissal of elevator. And it was completed and Debbie won and she deserved it amply!

Friendly Lua put me on the podium and Suzie is the third (see photo opposite)

In Sl Lua is as my set. She has some experience while I am new she has some taste while I try only to have it. But in our life of topmodel we seem to follow the same road.
We were in the same school of the month of July, 2010. We attended the same class(course), we underwent the same stress at the same moment, we were graduated at the same time and now we are judges almost at the same time.

Lua hold a fascinating blog, if you are in SL do not hesitate to follow it and thus to follow HER.

This evening besides Debbie, Suzie and me there were also Diana, Aisha, Emma, Lacamal and so many others but I cannot speak about all.

It is always a big pleasure to make shows with Debbie, Emma, Aisha we can be sure that everything will take place well! LaCamal brings by its humor and its looseness a lot. For me, her only one twists is to be of the special offer of the month of August and not of July;-)

I have to make a small criticism to our Day judge. Lua you kept us waiting for such a long time on stage in pajamas! The next time tell to Steve or Anrol or Lisana to stop the air conditioning;-)

Thanks to all and goodbye:-)

To be a judge for the first time

I did not expect it. Yesterday I was called to be a judge of the Styling.
Having never been one, I was a little put under stress. It is the best way to be made enemies because in this kind of competition :-), there is a lot of subjectivity and only one will win.

It was also not easy because Lua was one of the competitors and I had to try to remain the most impartial possible. With Lua we did the same training course, graduate at the same time and I could imagine what she could feel.

We have a too short time to write many notes if we want to look at everything because the turns are quickly linked, so we notice more hard the blatant errors.

I was luck to had no lag so I could follow each one right.

Yesterday they were almost all pretty good. Details made the difference. Once the calculation was made, the four first ones were held between 3 or 4 points on 50! So I had changed nothing and let the result as the calculation gave it.

And so Lua won with near her, Svea 2nd and ntaly 3rd.

Some was good but lost a stop. Lisana, Taby, Laylah, Veronica Debbie etc. spend lot of time to teach for free this basic training for the competition, so to move right is mandatory and I had to notice it. To be concentrated on the move and stop is needed.

The hardest was to judge Ladysunfire, she did a great job, had a great outfit but was not in the Topic of this angel thema. I'm pretty sure she will won many others time.

It was too an excellent training for me. I can now know what the judges see and how their decision maybe difficult to take. I also learnt to look at the slightest detail with an a little more critical spirit.

I would now like to congrat all the participants, and thank Anrol, Steve and Lisana who relied on me.

Don't forget these contests are free, just join one of the free training to know the move and stops and then come in time.

It happened in Classical with Style.

I won but the trophy is part of you

I won but I had lot of fun to prepare this styling fashion event in Classical with Style .

President and 1rst lady... What to do with this topic? I got the answer only in the morning and had begun to work on the President , but was not quiet sure to be able to do show with humor. Debbie had encouraged me and when my afternoon came, near the event time, it was too late to think about another idea.

I can tell it was hours of work! Lucky I had found a freebie making an av to follow you, but that was not all, I should build his shape and tux him and make his talonnettes under his shoes , then thinking of my own performance as the 1rst lady but also singer I had to prepare a guitar/song poses for the bio part of the show ;-)

Sometimes SL allows you to surprise yourself and today it's what had happened to me. Until yesterday I was far to think I could make this kind of show. I had lot of fun working and preparing it and after I was pleased to see and hear the audience applauding and laughing, then I was already thanks.

I surely could never do that each time, But when the inspiration comes and when you think you will carry some smiles to others then all become easy.

I should thanks Debbie and Svea who were on the podium with me, lady and Victoria who had nice words to me, and sure Didier who made me win and Lisana who does a lot, and so Steve with the hope he had laugh too :-)

A not easy topic, but at the end lot of fun.
I won but this trophy is part of you all who had help and/or welcome me.

I wish you a good SL and RL time :-)

P.S. Didn't I tell enough? is there no picture? what do I talk about? no worries I was ask to do it again in finals so you will be welcome to come and have fun with us. :-)

Moda Di Roma Show yesterday

A great show yesterday at Classical with Style! And lot of people came. If the training was a little mess it allow to have make a good show.
On the picture up, it's not easy to know who is and where! :-)
Just from the left, the french team was there (Lisana the 2nd one from left, Didier the 3rd and me the fourth) :-).

For the first time I could not walk easily and when it happen SL ask you to stay concentrated on your move and walk and keeping an eye on the others.
I don't know much Laylah and Aisha with who I was in my first turn but it was easy as they are good, I just had to care of them.
If Laylah got disconnected or crashed at the baddest time she could be back and ready in time to make the show and Aisha could very well drive us. To work with people like that is easy and I thanks them to made me feel confident and happy to perform with them.

My second turn was with Debbie and I just regret that Maleha had sometimes walk strangley or maybe some lag had show that, at least to keep an eye on Debbie make all easier too and it was a great time for me.

I was impressed by Taby and Lisana! They had two hours of Midterms with the new students, even almost no time to change clothes when our show training began and then the show it self. They had at least 7 hours of nonstop work! And with all what they had to do they were great. A big thanks!

The last time I was in the last turn and the first for the Bio, so just few seconds to prepare. This time was better I could breath a little between my last turn and to come out again for the bio. And so could watch around what the others were doing and how.

This picture on the right is during the finale pose with Lisana on stage on the right , Anrol leading the show from her desk on the left and Steve sit just behind her.

I spent a good time and then I stay to watch the video turn by the audience winner and was happy to see Veronica (I see her not so often ;-( ) and Lua with who it's always nice to be.
Then I could breath and relax watching them and take pictures.
I show here a picture of both.
The blue lady is Veronica and so Lua is on the right.

An only one regret Debbie couldn't do the bio and so was not with us for the finale standing no more.

So tomorrow is another day and the next show will again be better.

See you all, enjoy the fun and the beauty :-)

Listening music.

As a music lover I spend lot of my time listening music. Some sweet in the background or others I deep listen because they ask you to stay concentrate on them and so I can't do something else.

Out of the music business which just offer you to pay often the same kind of singers and kind of music, where you pay first before to know what it is, I discovered a great community of great music/songs creators.
They use to give their work under Creative Common License so you can listen them and pay them if you like and want it. You can share it and even work on it while you respect to use or tell this License.

The best website for these musics is Jamendo . There you can listen, download, comment the music also you can send message to the creator , helping it etc.
All kind of music can be found there and you will surely discover some treasures.

During the shows or my training work I always listen music I had found there. As an example, to be relax and quiet, I specially appreciate Zero-Project music.
Zero-Project music is so sweet that it make me be already in the smoothing way and help me to not be nervous even if some lag or technical problems happen.

In a way or another depending of your feeling and wishes you will find what you could need.

For the ones who likes Spanish Classical Guitar music, Paco Santiago is a great artist musician he's another one I often listen too while training or during the shows.
Thanks much to them.

Not all is good in Jamendo but some are really lovely and the comments help you.

So enjoy some great musics and let your feelings live.

Purple Styling event 2010-08-19

And the Prize-winners of this Purple Styling event were 1) LayLah, 2) LadySunFire and 3) Lua.

It had happen yesterday in Classical With Style.

Usually SL is kind with me and I can work in world quietly and as I was well taught how to fight the lag (thanks to Taby and Debbie) I don't have often to complain.

But yesterday for the Styling event, the Purple one, almost I had thrown away the computer ;-)
I first lost time on my configuration note cards, they didn't want to open then during the event I was disconnected, lucky it was between my 2 turns. I just got the time to login back and come back before to be called. I had to walk while still rezzing the place around, a strange experience ;-)
I just couldn't send my description at the right time.

There were lot of nice outfits, it seems this Purple topic inspired much people. This time the Judge was Steve and he surely got enough for his tastes.
I will thanks LaCamal who made us laugh a lot, a great time and that had help to break a little the time. I forgot to take a picture of Lacamal and on this one upper we don't see well, but it was a great fun.

Then I invite you to watch Lua blog here about this event

Just for the fun and to thanks, on the right here is the picture of Lisana who had driven the event and who does a lot in CWS and is a great person with who I already learn a lot.

Even if the technology can disturb us sometimes, it's nice to work with nice people like that.

I got sad that Debbie had to leave the event and I wish and expect her soon all cure and powerfull.

Congrats to all...
And see you online for the following.

Enjoy :-)

P.S. Check this Page for the next events in CWS

Friday 2010-08-13 new stage Show

The last Friday had occurred the first show in the new CWS stage.

A new experimentation, a new and short walk, new poses and also like the Dome a way to walk with others at the same time.
We were three to come out at the same time so the three had to be ready in time and if one was not there or ready the turn could be disturb.

We had all practiced a lot before, and it seems all who were there in time were ready and great.

It was a hard time for some of us. All the ones living in Europe had to manage this late in our night time: Lisana, Debby, Ariana etc.
All should been right, I was impressed to see that even tired Lisana and Debbie were leading right and I myself have to thanks Aisha who could do the job with me while she had many turns too.

Yes all had been right except few turns disturb because some models supposed to be in the show didn't come. My first turn was with Debbie and Victoria and it was nice! but my second turn was disturb and I thanks here Taby to had pushed and then guided me to do the job with Aisha.

From backstage and the few I could see it was a great show and I think most of the turns was right and the audience had surely appreciated them.

For once the lag had disturb me and at the baddest time, when I had to go out alone for the bio finale! I wonder how many kilometers I had walk on stage before to be able to take control of my way out! So I decided to let go to the front stage and play my poses there. I had to loose 2 stops but I think it was better than to walk back and go out again.

I thanks here all the ones who did it with me. Thanks for their confidence and help (Models and team).

Looking forward the next :-)

Involving in SL virtual world

In a way or another, SL teach you always something.
Something about others, Something about SL itself and , more surprising, about yourself even if you don't see it.

The picture here down can summarise it in a funny way.

I will not tell all what SL taught me the last 2 months since I was born there, too much and I'm not the kind to write a story of my life ;-)

But I can tell a few about it. As in Real life, in Sl you can meet any kind of people, good or bad, friendly or cold, hypocritical or looking for truth, strong or jokers etc.
And like in real life sex and business seems to be the only goal of some.
I had learn that even in a virtual world the people stay the same, behind the one who talk to you is someone real.

I had learn too that people who didn't understand or accepted that got hurt. I wish them to do as they do in real, to care first and open themselves when they feel the other. Words are only words and are blowed by the winds; feelings stay stronger and tell more!

I had learn that SL as a virtual world is computer based and you depend of it and so if the technology get disturb you will be disturb. It's a fact and you can't change it, you just can help to not carry more troubles.

I use now this paper to thanks all the kind people who made me love this world (sl is not a game for me) . In first Mel and bezzer, without them not sure I had stay long in SL. Then Debbie who was very kind and open and shared a lot to make me involve fast. Then Lisana and all the CWS team. I know better Lisana as she speaks french, from Taby to Veronica they are all lovely and made me love this way, thanks to them all.

I end here to thanks Steve who found me and Anrol who is someone to listen. Without she could know , only to listen her made me learn a lot and not only about Classic with Style and modeling. So I made this picture to show you the way since I was born in SL.

Mel taught me to creat my own av and a lot to know SL. Bezzer, once I had a not so uggly av had took me out my sandbox and warry me in some place where I think Steve could find me. Then CWS team and Anrol made me what I am now. This picture shows all of it.

If you have a doubt about who I am now in this picture you can ask me ;-)

Enjoy your world!

SF Show

Great clothes for this show, but the technology is not Art and feelings :-)

Our yesterday show was great but not a fun for everybody.
Sl was not really very strong and many got inventory troubles because of some servers. I had heard to that some people couldn't login in time.
When it happen you feel frail as you know it can happen anything at anytime.
For the training time before the show, we all get a private team communication tool to receive our live instructions and If I received mine it didn't show in my inventory. And I was not the one as Debbie too got this problem. I had to wait the end of the training to logout and come back online to be able to see and use it.
But that was not as bad for me. If I could feel as blind, Taby could lead me and I thanks her for it, lisana told me in time who to follow as I will be the next, so I could train.
At a time it was hard to only move, but lucky was it happened before the beginning of the show.
All that gave a little stress and to see others disturb was not the best to feel confident in what could happen if SL will turn more bad.

But we could do it, for most the show had run and the dresses was nice as very different styles for each turn.

Out of these disturbing things, I could appreciate the turns of some like Taby (upper left picture) and Lisana (this right one picture).
I had like to tell more about Didier but he was not rezzed for me, I just could see he performed very well.

It can be very disapointing to work hours and to have all disturb, maybe destroyed for some, because of technology, but that technology was also the way to do that and to meet each others.

I would like to congrats swaffette Firefly who created these clothes and for whom we tried to do our best.

It happen in Sl and in Classical with Style, and it was for you,
and now ...

Lets expect the following... :-) enjoy!

Magazine August 2010 Second Life Classic Glamour Style Magazine

What a surprise! Yesterday a video about Classic /w Style was posted on YouTube and after two minutes it made me smile as I appeared there few seconds.

So, out of me , this video is great as you could see in most of the great Models and Creators and what they did in July. Also a great video if you want to get an idea about what is CWS and/or a nice way to remember some shows.

You can see it there on YouTube. To visit the Classical With Style channel on YouTube it's here .

For the first time, tomorrow I will participate in a Video Beach Fashion show, but that will be another story.

Fashion show Bliss Couture, my first show

This Sunday August 1rst at 3:00pm slt occurred my 1rst Show in CWS. And it was nice to share it with others ex students.
Because of the difference of time zone in fact, for me, it was Monday August 2 at 0:00 am, and so this show took place the day of my 2nd month in SL.

I could breath this event. For my first show, I could feel pressure and stress to have to do it with our teachers, and so good Models. But the training before allowed me to watch them remembering the best they could teach us, and it was a stronger motivation to stay concentrate on my move and staying quiet to continue to learn of them.

SL seems slow on Sunday and at the time of the show the audience came and the place was full. Then our best SL friend had not forgotten us and came to.... unsupport us! :-)

I use this post to thanks also CWS to have taught how to fight the SL lag and that is useful not only in CWS but in this whole Virtual world.
Thanks to them I could do the job without to be disturb.

Something had disturb me a little, right when I was moving on the catway I received three invitations to become friends of these people. Sorry guys if I didn't answer !

The show had gone. I felt like a little mouse facing tigresses but I was ready, well prepared and I tried to remain concentrated on my topic just looking at the move of the good Models trying to get a little of their self-control.

Brooklyn and I during our turn were wearing a special sexy gown named Verionico by Amutey DeCuir. Brooklyn was wearing the white and me the black. I had like this gown a lot and it helped me to be confident and move the best for it.

Sadly during my turn Anrol saw me as a cloud. I can promise her that I had not worn the ghost dress. ;-)

I thank here all the ones who make this experience able.

Look forward the next :-)

We did it :-)

This Friday 2010 July 30 was a great day for us the new Models in Classical w/ Style : the Ceremony of our Graduation.

I use this paper to first congrats all who participated in a way or another to made it a pretty and funny event.
So sure Anrol Anthony and Steve McCullough who work hard to have this place full of life and great events.
Then Lisana, Taby and Veronica the team who works hours and hours to teach and help and gave us all the strong bases upon what we can involve.
Deebie who was always near us helping us and made this event funny with an enjoyable dance choreography.
And without to forget the great and friendly creator Ayiki Takakura who made our Graduation formal.

By my side, all began with lot of stress. I came there to load quietly all the room around and be quiet later to rez fast all in world. I met there Victoria who was practicing. Then Victoria leaved thinking, like me, that we still had more than one hour before the beginning of the Event.

I was ready to leave too to go in my home prepapring listening some music which relax me, when Mali arrived and told me that the training will begin now. I couldn't beleive it and check back the NC about it, The confusion took us until Anrol and Steve arrived and I understood that like others we had lost some news about this event time.
I felt a little anxious about the ones who was still not online. Lucky Lua connected and I just could fast IM her to hurry to wear her suit and come as we were beginning right now. I was sad to see the practice ending Victoria still not back and Paris no more.

The practice was beginning with some stress as if we were passing a second time as if all was to be done again, until we had all ended the turn and Anrol joined us for the finale picture with Debbie (I just miss Victoria on the picture).
Then Debbie invited us to dance and the stress was over and we felt we did it and could be quiet for the real Ceremony.

We received our Diploma and I think I shacked it in hand to the end, afraid maybe to loose it.

And Victoria came, just in time for the Ceremony. I think her surprise was strong and her stress much higher than ours, but she was there and so didn't loose anything, I felt much better to see her with us.

During that time the people came, and also it was nice to see Taby back. To see Lisana there was also a comforting feeling! No because she speaks French but because she impressed me often how she is , all her gilts and all her work often so kindy.

My only regret was to have noone of my first friends there, the European late time couldn't make them online.

The Event had turn right, was enjoyable to see the others enjoying the moment and specially Lua who had to make a speech without to have knew before she will, that made me smile to the end of the event :-)

A new way is opening now. Somewhere this past month will stay in our life, not often easy, not always funny, but a great month during when I also could learn a lot about SL.
Now I don't feel anymore newbie. Sure I still have a lot to learn, we always learn each time, but I feel ready to feel confident in this virtual world and in CWS family. The following story is to be written by my own hand.

The closure of the event let me go alone to think as if I was awaking after a great sweet dream. I had walk around a long time. Victoria and Lua sent me these little gifts and it touched me a lot. I had stop to walk to take this photo.

I could dance alone , the wind drying my tears, until my legs got powerless and the sleep caught me and the curtain fell.

Congrats to all in this July class:

Desi McKeenan
Lua Vendetta
Mali Taurus
Mesange Acacia
noot Fairlady
paris Unplugged
Victoria Allegiere

I still can't tell much more, just waiting this event....

Mesange CWS Model...

Yes I got and did it :-) ooooooooooooooffffffffffffff

I have to thanks all the people who had helped and encouraged me. From Debbie to Ariana, all the CWS team, from Steve who called me to Anrol who finished to accept me and so the trainers and all the team: lisana so kind and patient, Veronica (our time zone doesn't help to meet often) and Taby I met too few and is out of SL for few days.

I don't like much to talk about myself, but I have to do it a little and first to tell that I spent a great July month, I had lot of fun but stress time, but a good stress the one wich push you, motivate you.

One month learning a lot, as new in SL it was not often easy as I had to understand faster some SL things before to be able to work on the homeworks.
But it was a good way to progress.
I begin to feel easy with SL and these classes teach me lot of and not only about Modeling and CWS but useful everywhere anytime and make me feel now more confident in world.

I thanks here the other students who had often sweat and cried with me :-)
Lua, Desi, Victoria, Paris and noot who had shared with me this formation and wish them fun. We have all different goals and different motivations but we will still improve.

I thanks the great CWS trainers: Lisana, Veronica and Taby. They are so welcome and spend lot of time helping others. It's a great feeling to see them performing. Thanks so much to you.

I thanks Steve who had found me in my newbie SL way and gave me a way to follow.

And then thanks so much Anrol too. She finished to accept me with my mistakes and some confused English words that made me bore her stupidly .
( So now I know the difference between GO out, and COME out ) :-)
I will suffer again as I was told that Steve and Anrol didn't plan to learn french ;-)

A special word to DebbieDoo! without her nothing of all that could happen.

Thanks to all :-)

Velvetrims Designs Show

Yesterday, for the first time I could watch a Dome show. It was at Classic w/ Style and was presenting Velvetrims Designs' Velvetori Twine.

Anrol has begin the show introducing Ms July Calendar winner: Maleha Inglewood. Then introducing Ms Candylicious Forster as the new pageant winner for Ms USA.

The show began with some lag and even with some moves were disturb it fast run right.

There were many models and many turns and I had try to follow right as much as I could. Only one regret maybe too few men models.

Catched by the show and the wish to try to learn how they work I didn't take many pictures, I put them here.

The clothes were all nice and most as built with rainbows light. Full of color and original design, enjoying!

About the men models I was specially impressed by Didier Rascon, As a newbie I can be wrong but with the few I know and the feeling I got he was perfect and I really appreciated his performance.

With all these models I could also appreciate specially my friend DebbieDoo Tigerfish, but also lisana Rossen and tabytha1 Baily. The two last ones are my teachers and to see them performing so perfectly was enjoyable. It seems that even the lag can't disturb them.
About the teachers I just regret that VeronicaLynn Parx was not performing too :-)

To have watch these great performers and the others, to have breath the feeling of this kind of show, understanding what I could see was a great time.

I forgot to take a picture of the final standing, with all the models on the runways, but I was already enough impressed that I could just look applauding.

I thanks a lot all the models, Anrol and Steve and the Velvetrims Designs team

for this great moment.

Only one shouldn't be invited there is Mr Lag ! ;-)

Styling Summer daily Event

Today was my first event/contest.
I was a little nervous as all was new and was not sure to mix crossing my feet on runaway. And more when I saw there were great models like Maleha Inglewood and ladysunfire Erin. To perform with them was a good lesson for me watching them, but not sure I will not be ridiculous.
There were four others Models , only one was a man.

How the event began was exactly what I didn't wished. To be called first!
I was expecting feeling the air while watching some others performing.
And... it's what happened: I was called first!

I was ready to do my best with the few I still know. I was a little nervous as it was the first time but my heart broken when , after few steps to the first stop I saw myself walking and walking and walking without a stop and ... boom , my viewer disconnected me!

I felt shy, I came back and sadly went back to the backstage unable to calmdown my heart and feeling the shame around me.

With kindness I was called again after all the others. I did the job blushing, unable to really think right, hoping just to move not bad without to make a mistake.

But I could watch the others. And it was hard to choose the best as they were all good, and teh judges had chosen ladysunfire Erin as winner. You can see her picture on the upper right side of this paper.

I was happy too that Noot fairlady came 2nd and Maleha Inglewood 3rd. A little sad for the others.

It was for me a hard practice, but I learn, and tomorrow is another day.

Congrats to Maleha, Noot and ladysunfire.

Styling Mardi Gras contest event

Yesterday (6:00pm slt) occurred a contest event called Styling Mardi Gras .

Unfortunately it was too late for my European time and I couldn't joined it but I use of this little space to congrats Kiralyn Destiny who won, and also Laylah Lecker and Victoria Allegiere who complete the podium.

Kiralyn Destiny is a great Model, and she already won great events like Ms HawaiI 2009. I had like when she told I don't believe you always have to win to be a winner . She had kind words about the students who joined this event and encourage them.
With kindness she gave me this picture of the winner podium yesterday where you can see how great she was dressed for this Mardi Gras Styling event.

You could read more about this event on CWS website here.

I expect to be able soon to watch and join some events and meet you there for one of the best fun in SL and real pleasant time.
