A Start is Born! – Launch of a new group for promising starter models

by

SECOND LIFE PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Announcement:  Launch of a new group for promising starter models, “A Star Is Born!”

Kay Fairey announces today that she is launching a non-profit group that is dedicated to providing promising starter models with actual runway show experience to initiate their career start.

This group will be led by Kay Fairey and will admit a maximum of 20 new graduate students from any model academy in Second Life to provide real on-the-job runway show experiences which the members can list in their resume when applying for agency castings.  Kay stresses that the group is neither an academy nor an agency and will not be affiliated with any particular model academy.  All members will be asked to leave after they have three show experiences including shows by other groups in order to open their spots to newer graduates.  This activity will continue while Kay is able to provide this service.

Shows will be organized and run by Kay at runways that will be rented with the support of BLVD Agency under BOSL Organization, where Kay is currently CEO.  Blackbarbie Bravin and Wicca Merlin, who support this concept, have joined the group as Officers.

There will be a minimum payment made to all models which will be less than the market average for professional models but Kay stresses that she wants future top models to be accustomed to the idea of paid modeling jobs as she is also an avid promoter of paid shows.

“Models spend a lot of money to style the given outfits so that they look good.  I think it is only fair that models get some payment even if they will usually spend more than they earn.  Free shows with no payments made to models are taking advantage of the money models pay out of their pockets to make the outfit and the agency look good and this is not fair to them.”

The way new graduate students are invited to this group may change in the future but for now only those who have been recommended by various modeling academies will be invited to the group to make sure the promising future top models get priority in taking advantage of this system.

A separate letter will be sent out soon to modeling academy Owners and Directors.

A special thanks goes to Mr. Frolic Mills of BOSL Organization for supporting this concept and allowing this group to use his runways as show venues.

MVW 2012: Evening Gown for Miss Belgium 2012 by Champagne & Finesmith

by

The stunning evening gown of Miss Belgium 2012, Miss Sylphia Constantine, was made by Champagne! Sparkling Fashion. Enzo Champagne himself created this wonderful and stunning evening gown for the this year Miss Virtual World challenge. The deep and shining red immediately caught my eyes. This is the red of an elegant and sophisticated gown called “Heart of Belgium”. The skirt is made dreamy flexible and if you take a closer look you can see all the awesome details. The waistpart that leads over to the skirt so perfectly, the silver decorations and the black and red feathers at the left hip… simply amazing. The upper part surrounds the waist and chest beautiful like a tight corset without any lines over the shoulders.The right shoulder is repeating the feathers of the hips and as well the little silver ornaments. A delicate lace texture covers the right chest and goes up over the shoulder round the neck. The same fabric you will find foe the tiny gloves that add as well even more elegance. In th middle of the cleavage we have a little key… maybe the key to the heart of the owner, maybe the key to her jewelry box? 😉

Talking about jewelry… The wonderful and incredible “Lush” set was made by yula Finesmith and it highlights the whole style of the fashionista. The little earrings go perfect with the huge shoulder piece and the hairpin puts a nother beautiful accent on every hairstyle. The bracelets repeat the shape of the hairpin again. The red of the jewelry is perfectly made according to the red of the gown and the silver as well goes with all the silver ornaments of the “Heart of Belgium”. The beautiful gown you will find at the Champagne! Sparkling Fashion Mainstore and for the delicate awesome jewelry you have to make your way to the Finesmith Mainstore.

Showreview: BOSL Fashion Week – Avantgarde

by

Today I was allowed to walk another show of the great BOSL Fashion Week. The theme was Avantgarde and again the BLVD Models had to style their own vision of avantgarde… but we as well had a premiere… our Editorial Clarity-Flux dared to walk the runway for his very first time :p For sure I had to ask him and his beloved husband RicoRacer Flux-Clarity if the would pose with me for my blog post opener pic and… they said yes!!! The result is the pic above! *happy dance* What a feeling between such great styled guys!!!

Ok Wicca… stop drooling… back to work… *coughs*

Again, as in the ‘Virtual Super Heroes’ show the BLVD Models had the freedom to style as they please to show off their very own vision of avantgarde. It was a hard decision and I made way more looks than this one… but this was the one that in the end, wich I was wearing on the runway 🙂

I started with one of the new designs of the latest Miamai Black Label line – “Ungud” out f the Chod Collection. The big sleeves that cover the hands and the huge neck collar got my attention as I saw it the first time. Then I remembered the wonderful “Caged Birds Skirt” made by Faster Pussycat. I just change the color of the pigeons a bit 🙂 We got eyeshadow from blackliquid and I added my longtime favourite lace tattoo from Obscure. The boots as well are from Miamai and the amazing headpieces I found at Lode. For jewelry I chose parts of the “Noir” collection of Finesmith Designs.

The show was great fun aI would like to thank all the people of the BLVD family who made this incredible show possible 🙂

PurpleMoon – News and Showreview ;)

by

Today I have a little combination of a new release and some great outfits that I was allowed to showcase for the amazing PurpleMoon/Finesmith fashion show at BLVD. For first lets take a look on the new “Tango” outfit.

This outfit you can wear in 2 different versions. The first possibility is a sweet wide top that has an amazing huge neck collar.

The pants can be worn with or without the leg sleeves. The pants are made of  a dark grey / black texture that let imagine a light rough-looking fabric and the white line adds a wonderful elegant touch. The neat hat also is part of the outfit!

For the second version you can wear we also see that there is nother color available for the “Tango” outfit 😉 Here I just took off the wide top prim and the leg sleeves. The hat I changed to one of the new fantastic hair attachments, named “Era” that come with the perfect matching hairbases! So stay tuned for the new releases that will happen 😉

Last weekend the BLVD Agency had an amazing show showing off amazing creationd from PurpleMoon and Finesmith. It was an awesome combination of dreamy outfits and perfectly matching elegant and stylish looking jewelry.

My first outfit was a stunning dark blue gown named “Sue”. This great evening gown is the perfect outfit for an elegant night out. The amazing skirt falls down to the ground and moves behind you with every step. The aerial ruffles that decorate the chest make beautiful filigree looking touch. The neat little blue flowers are amazingly detailed and light the dark blue perfect. Another great highlight we have with the head part. A huge headpart that repeats the roses of the dress and has a little train in the back. Perfect for every fashionista who likes to turn heads!

As it was made for, the “Tension” set from Finesmith looks as a perfect addition to this stunning gown. The half round earrings that become smaller to the end like a half-moon decorate your ears. The same theme you have for the bracelet where 2 of that ‘half moons’ surround your wrist. FOr the perfect finish I added the “Metallic Silver” nails from PurpleMoon.

Another great outfit I was wearing for the show was the “Zasha” dress in bronze. A very tight dress that accents a well-shaped fashionistas body 😉 The horizontal stripes of the main texture adds a modern look to the whole dress. The top is shoulder free and makes great room for a huge edgy necklace like the “Kitsch Couture” necklace from Finesmith. The black gloves and the mermaid looking skirt prim in black make a nice frame where the texture of the dress is fantastic highlighted.

The incredible “Kitsch Couture” necklace and bracelet, made by Finesmith are the perfect addition if it comes to the jewelry part for this dress. The 3 different gold colors go perfect with the bronze and black texture of the dress that has neat little ornaments if you take a closer look. Together with the “Sun” face tattoo, made by White Widow and the “Invicta” hairstyle from Miamai the whole outfit was perfect for the runway 🙂

But if you make your way to the PurpleMoon Mainstore you can see way more of Poulet Koenkamp’s creation and you will really have a hard time to think wich one you get first :p
