Just some outfits I´ve been wearing during my ModelClasses :)

Oh welcome back my lovelies,

I got something I wanted to show you.

As you might have read I´ve been attending my first modelling class at LaMode Fashion School ...I thought I´d show you some outfits from those classes:


This is a swimwear-outfit I had to style :

Hair: LeLutka Biel in Bournville
Skin: Al Vulo Jenny natural 2 cleavage bronde
Shape: my little secret ;P
Bikini: DEF! Ladyz/Bikini/French Touch/Black
Shoes: Queen of Hearts Sandal Black Lizard



Now for the next class I had to style a gown - runway style! I picked this one:

Gown: Passion4Fashion Red Formal
Shoes: *LG* Red Blossom Shoe
Hair: A&A Melrosa Hair in Blackberry (yep...again...I like that hair for modelling...what can I say...)
Shape: muahhaha nope...still won´t tell you ;)
Skin: RusshLussh Blackliquid in Gold
Necklace: LW The Great Healer Necklace (Chop Zuey´s Light of the Wind collection)



Now this one was a real challenge: My graduation outfit: HighFashion Avantgarde!

I picked:
Suit: **Gizza** Diamond Catsuit in Ice (including those supercool boots)
Skin: LAQ blondie 01 Fair Glow
Shape: nuh-uh! I´m not gonna tell ya ;)
Hair: Vanity Hair Diva HP Vainille - including Hairbase


Now let´s get into detail:

Jewellery: Finesmith Jewelery Heart Attack collection (necklace, earrings, bracelets)
Makeup: .:Glamorize:- Get Lost Lips, ee.ts noir eyeshadow


All I can say is...I know Avantgarde is usually black but I like to add a little personal twist to things...I´m glad my tutor understood what I was going for and she liked it. She said I had shown a new side of Avantgarde! *HA^^*

I´ve graduated successfully, won best student and best styled (before you go all hyper...I was the only "survivor" of the class ;) ...Yes I´m honest like that! ) and...yeah... we´ll see what the future holds....

till then...take care

eXxEsS: Aeterna

Morning Lovelies,


today I logged in to my lovely Layja sending me a new gown to tell you about:


Aeterna! I picked her Storm hair in black2 to go with it, her shape (to show it off *grins*) and AlVulo´s Barby Pale emo 2 Cleavage as a skin.


As usual the jewellery is included, the details are stunning and...have you seen this boa? Trust me it is as soft as it looks like.


I just cannot stop nuzzling my face into it *purrs, then coughs* ok...focus Akasha!


Because Layja is awesome like that she gave me the blue version as well *blows a kiss*


Let me show you the closeup...


AND! Those awesome boots are included, too.

You know where to get it:

and...as an assignment for the class I was asked to write a little biography:


Akasha first learned about SL on a German radio station in January 2007. She was curious and registered, ending up in a club dancing most of the time, working as a dancer after a while rocking the club with her new friends. Many friends and guests told her how pretty she was and so she tried herself as a model. Unfortunately luck wasn´t her best friend back then as her timezone is SLT+9. Many agencies were interested, yet the time difference never made it happen. After a while Akasha got bored and left SL for well over 3 years.

In late February 2011 she gave it another try. After she updated her whole inventory and stocked up she applied as a Suicide Girl, as an alternative model, because she loves the work of the RL Suicide Girls and has a big passion for tattoos in both lives.
The application went very well and she is featured in their 2011 yearbook as well as the 2012 calender (which she also organized).

In the meantime she went back to dancing in another club, where she met Frozen Rage, owner of Venomous Rage Designs, who made her a tattoo model for VRD.

Jobs are rare for the SG´s at the moment and so she applied at Mystique Models and got accepted. She entered their Steampunk contest in October 2011 and made it into the final runway show.

After joining several modelgroups, booking shootings with several photographers Akasha started to join contests like the Diamonds and Rubies Contest (Diamonds November: formal dress) but she did not win any.

Not wanting to give up Akasha started to take pictures of every item in her inventory and store it on dropbox so she has an overview at all times. Whilst doing that she discovered her love for outfits and started her own little blog, using snapshots, which she takes with great love and passion.


After not being able to apply to so many jobs due to a lack of certificates and money for those expensive classes she saw the add of LaMode for modelling classes for only 1000L. She applied, got accepted and ...here we are!

Where will Akasha´s journey end? We shall see.... I was told the stars hold a great future for her.

OH OH OH ! And...before I forget...I am participating in the Mystique models "under 100L " contest:


This is what I came up with... I hope I have a chance...keep your fingers crossed ;)

So that would be it...for now...

Take Care

OPOPOP Design

Hello lovelies,

today I´ll introduce OPOPOP Design, a young label with urban wear for girls that looks fresh and...it might be me...but I think it looks a bit playfull, too - in a non-girlie but cool way of course ;)

This time I decided to create an outfit out of the items I was given by the owner, Oursinette Bruun :


This is the "Red Sweet in Cyan" top, with the "Little one" Short (and armidi gisaci shoes, al vulo skin, my shape :P and eXxEsS hair)


"Yeah, baby! Show me that booty!" By the way I picked the background because... like I said... OPOPOP has a certain playfulness to me and I liked the background, it looks cool and playful at the same time...


ok...that was a tad cold for January... so I got out of the "Little One" and grabbed the "GinSmash" Jeans in Cyan, along with the "Shrub" Scarf and the "Warm-Up" ArmWarmers - both in grey this time.


Have a closer look


And this is the pretty backside ;)

NOW!!! We´re not done here...oh no no ;)


She even gave me a dress: this is "Manzarom" in green (yes it is really that dark ;) )


And the backside  - sorry...no pantyshot for you this time ;)

Where to grab all that?

take care,
