So.. a little while I posted a blog about the Modavia first call back. I thought that I had better give you an update, and say that I didn't make it further than the first call back. I am so proud to have made it to even the first call back. Don't get me wrong, rejection is difficult and it is something we all have to deal with in our life, let alone our Second Life. We pick ourselves off, brush ourselves down and carry on. I am still in shock that I even made it to the first call back to be honest. To walk with the amazing models that w ere at the casting call is such an honor. I'm not sure who made it and who didn't, but congratulations to all of the models who entered. Can not wait to see the new Modavia directory when it comes out.

I entered the BESTYLE Calendar 2009 competition at the start of December. I didn't think I had a chance in hell of even getting to the first call back on this as well. I was stunned when the list was sent out and my name was on it, with some of the most beautiful, talented and skilled models in Second Life. If you are wondering what this competition is, it's The Best of Italian Style Fashion Center, Bestyle Magazine, and the BeStar Fashion Club are looking for the 12 most beautiful models in SL to be featured on the 2009 BeStyle calendar.

Among all the models who submitted the application they will select a maximum of 30 candidates. The final selection will happen in two shows on December 18 and 19 2008. The models during the show will strut twice in two separate groups each day. The first time in a casual dress and the second time in a evening dress offered by the stylists of the Best of Italian. The jury will be made of stylists, journalists, fashion and beauty experts, and eventually the management of the Best of Italian. The 12 winners (6 each night) will be featured on the Best of Italian 2009 Calendar and will participate in the castings for the next Best of Italian Fashion Shows. So it is an amazing opportunity, and I can not wait to give it all I got. Congratulations to all the 30 fantastic models selected who are:

Mimmi Boa

Sharron Schuman
Gamp Lane
Sydney Nitely
Liane Martens

The Neiva Kumasi Super Model Contest, that I am currently doing is going really well. This week was a little intense but we got through it. We had to do out first Go- C challenge, which was nerve racking, I have never done a commercial before. All the girls were amazing and I now realise the competition is going to be fierce. We didn't find out right away who won, they let us know a few days later when they got us all together. I was so excited to find out that I won this weeks challenge and now an not able to be eliminated this week. YAY! I probably yelled a little hard into the microphone lol.. but I was so excited. Probably means I will go out next week, but oh well at least I won one challenge. We should find out who is eliminated this week, and you keep up with what is going on in the house and the competition by looking at the link below. Yes I am the one with the goofy Aussie accent lol.

The Stylista Festival is happening right now, and there is something happening every day. You can always check the blog for updates and to see what is going on. There are some amazing musicians performing and some incredible shows coming up. There are way to many events to mention so just keep looking at the blog.

Stylista Festival Blog

Some amazing photos are starting to appear on flickr as well. So they are well worth going to check out. I have to tell you about the surprise gifts though. Have you found the surprise gift boxes in the Stylista Festival Lobby yet? I am totally addicted to them and I think they make the perfect Christmas present to give to someone.You can buy a surprise gift for L$1000. Each surprise gift situated on the table in the center of the lobby is valued between L$195 to L$8000, so it is kind of like a lucky dip. You may get something worth less than L$1000 or you might be lucky and get something valued a heap more. What I like about it so much is that you are donating to a wonderful cause as 100% of sales from the surprise gifts goes to Make-A-Wish Foundation of America.Let me give you an idea of some of the designers and shops that have items you may be lucky enough to receive from the surprise gifts.

The surprise gift boxes are vanishing fast. More than half of them are gone! So hurry on into the lobby and grab one up for yourself, or give it to someone else as a present. Please remember, after you pay for your surprise gift to take it from the table. We don't want you missing out on your goodies! There are landmarks to all the stores and designers' shops that have donated to this fantastic cause. So if you like, grab a landmark as well. The amazing One-Of-A-Kind creations are there also and are still open for bidding as well as the limited edition items that are available for purchasing. So come on into the lobby and have a look.

Modavia are offering 5 supermodel positions and if I understand correctly 30 models will go through to the next runway casting on December 14th from yesterdays casting. When we find out who knows, but to me I am just so proud to have it made it this far.

I don't think that ever in my SL life, have I felt so nervous as when I teleported into the casting room. I assumed we would be doing it in small lots, like 15 models at a time, but oh no it was all at once. I have never been in a room with so many talented, stunning and "big time" models. I really felt like I should be sitting in the corner or peeking out from around the corner looking at them and taking notes. Hold on that kinda makes me sound weird, but I just felt like I didn't belong. 

I have only been modeling for nearly 7 months now, so to be in a room and walking the same runway as these incredible models was just overwhelming. It was great to see some models helping each other, giving tips and answering Questions. I think everyone was relieved when the beautiful Chalice Carling yelled out how she had just walked on the hole in the middle of the catwalk and it wasn't an actual hole and you couldn't fall in lol. I think everyone breathed a sigh of relief then and I know I was blowing a million kisses to her. 

On the other side I was shocked at how nasty some of the models can be, and how they didn't want to help anyone else but themselves. To me we are all in this together and I do understand that it is competitive and none of us like the rejection, but come on we all have to deal with it at some stage. To me, that does not stop us helping each other, being supportive and doing everything we can to make it the best it can be for everyone involved.

I just want to say that every model there did an amazing job! I left after my walk to try and cut down on the lag for the people who had to walk after me, but every model I did see walk did so well. I looked around the rooms a few times and saw some of the most beautiful and some "unique" avatars which was fantastic as I think that is what makes modeling so amazing on SL. 

I wish every model the best of luck, and I know who ever makes it to the next runway casting truly deserves it. You were all incredible and I have my fingers and toes crossed for you all. 

GOOD LUCK!

ps. You can check out the Modavia supermodels here at

Oh and do not forget to get your copy of the sensational Modavia Directory in world. It's an amazing publication that is filled to the brim with gorgeous items! 

I all so did a show for GLANCE International which I am so thrilled to be a part of such an incredible agency. The show was showcasing the amazing designs of *FDL*.  I really have to say that *FDL* has some of the most detailed and amazing work I have seen on SL. The clothes are 18th Century and they have some divine wigs, gowns and ballgowns. This store is not only for women they have fantastic mens items as well.

 *FDL* is owned by Sanders Beaumont.

 

The "Seraphina" Dress shown to the left here, is just gorgeous in person. The fabric  is gold which has a floral pattern to it. The shoulders are like the wings of an angel as the silk wraps around them. This amazing dress comes with shoes  and an AO walk which can be switched off and on. Just by clicking the shoes. In addition to this you receive a ring (Lotus Petal) and a choker/collar which is totally resizeable with one click on the golden flower at the side.

I was lucky enough to wear this gorgeous dress as one of my outfits. I can not tell you how detailed this dress really is. It was stunning. 

If you are looking for 18th century items, I would head over to *FDL* for sure.

I started the Neiva Kumasi Super Model Contest this week, and you can already watch it on youtube if you are interested, following this link http://au.youtube.com/user/NkModeling

I will keep you updated as the show goes on, but you can also keep up with what is going on by visiting youtube. There are some beautiful models involved and some really colorful characters. So it should be very interesting to say the least. We get to live in the most amazing house and each week a contestant will be eliminated and go home. It's a little scary and we all have to use voice, so being the only Aussie I feel a little awkward. I will get there though hopefully. I am really looking forward to getting to know the other models better and doing some intense challenges together. 

I wish all the contestants the best of luck and I look forward to it all :)

The other massive news this week was that I attended a casting call this week for Starlight Events, which is an outstanding events company owned by RubyStarlight Writer. They were look for 25 regular models for shows that they will be doing for charity. I was so hoping to just even get a call back... and I did. I was so nervous walking as there were some really well known models there. I thought I did alright with my walk... but then afterwards I was called to walk back again. I immediately thought oh no I stuffed it. 

I held out hope for my friends that I knew were doing the call back and waited ever so patiently for the list. When I received it I nearly fell of my chair, I was so shocked to see I made the list and was now one of the 25 models. I am feeling so lucky to be even included in this group with these amazing models. I am so looking forward to working with them.

I will keep you updated to see how things go with the contests... and I have my fingers and toes crossed for everyone who entered the Modavia Casting Call. xoxoxo! Can't wait to see how makes that casting!

Have a great week everyone!
