My model classes at  LaMode have started, halfway through tomorrow *heheheh*, I´ve started a shooting with the lovely Mysteri for my portfolio enhancement, we´ve been interrupted but will continue soon. Furthermore I had a killershooting with my beloved Heather - here are the 30 pics^^ (she has this offer at the moment...if you´re in her group you pay 20L per pic *only in January^^*), even Jess, designer and owner of Antz  did a little shooting with me *yeeey*

 Ain´t she great?

My portfolio  will have a MAJOR update once the shooting with Mysteri is finished ;), this is my updated resumee:

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

Quick Update

Hey my lovelies^^

Whoa...one week since I last blogged and this week has been pure and friggin MADNESS - and the madness isn´t over yet!

First things first though:

DAE AND I GOT MARRIED^^....well...partnered...no fancy ceremony, party, gifts or whatever but...we did it^^ *bows in several directions* "thank you....thank you"

Furthermore - I´ve completely redone our home... new house.... 2 Photo studios (the pretty simple one by Geeza Matfield (with my fave posestand EVER)  and the friggin posh N30 *yep...THAT one...the really expensive one...^^) the privacy screens are not that chaotic anymore... blablabla (yeah I know...my home can only be entered by a very limited number so this is boring for most of you *grins* I still wanted to mention it...).

I got more news though!

I was accepted for LaMode January ModelClasses (1000L folks!!!) - I will blog about how that goes, as well as the Ataahua Classes with Naa .
THEN  we finally set up Dae´s FB, Flickr and Resumee (I´ll blog it once the portfolio is finished)  and I set up a friend of ours: Ame Ravenwolf, I´ll blog her portfolio as well - girl´s got potential I tell ya ;)

Back to my wonderful hubby though: he had another shooting with Mysteri (yep...on their own... a shooting just for him *proud*) - if I get them to  give me the pics I will put em in here for you guys :) .

Enough about others this is MY blog *evil grin*
I HAVE A NEW JOB :)
I´m the store manager of Diamonds Skin Shop feat. Medley Store which has opened yesterday ;)

I´ll blog 2 skins from there in a few moments ;)

Till then,
take care

YEY Shooting time^^

Hey Lovelies (again^^),

Two days ago my dear friend Mysteri  asked me if I knew models to shoot her entry for the Diamonds 2012 Contest ... and well... as I am one... I was totally up for it.

She asked me to pick a pirate outfit and a lady-look and I came up with:

Cipher Punk Pirate Captain Lacey Red and...still kinda piratey but hey...I just HAD to do it:
Elisabeth Swann´s wedding dress

next she ported me to Pirate Sim Tamayo - it was quite laggy and we both crashed several times but the sim was very nice^^. When we were done she grabbed both me and my beloved Daegus to her studio: Temptest Imagery Studios  to shoot him first, then do a couple of couple shoots and...well here are the results - or..the first  batch of them - if I get more I´ll add them^^:

I think she did an AWESOME job^^ (I´ll always envy those, who know how to create pics like that...^^)

So...you see I´ve not been lazy, in fact I´ve been quite busy refurbishing our Hall of Freaks (our home^^) and my RL flat hehe (still at that.... few small changes but still)

more news soon
take care
Akasha
