Time away

Wow I didn't realize it had been so long since I last posted. RL and SL has been hectic recently. I have knee surgery this Wednesday and have been getting things straightened out at work for my brief at-home recovery. :P

On the SL side there's always new news. Despite the disappointment with EFA's SL5B shows being canceled on Sunday and Monday and the events that occurred which prohibited me from doing the rest of the shows, they ladies all looked beautiful and the remaining shows went very very well. Congrats and love to all the girls who did the shows. Muaaahhhhhh! You were fabulous. A BIG specially hug and muaahh! to Ella Quinsette. You're the best! :))

In other news, thanks to all who sent me wishes and congratulations on being selected as a JCNY July Model'Fest finalist. A big hug to JD, the owner of JCNY, especially. I'll be on and off the runway at JCNY until Wednesday eve (well Wed may be weird because of my surgery) :P Please stop by and say hi if you get the chance.

Tonight, Sunday, in celebration of the opening of voting for Miss SL Universe and in celebration of the RL Miss Universe pageant held this evening (congratulations to Miss Venezuela, Dayana Mendoza for this year's win) there was a fab party at SL Boulevard with Mui Mukerji, Frolic Mills, Sharron Schuman (thanks for the notecard Sharon :) ), Imogen Miklos, esskinny Juliesse, Kyrinnia Desmoulins, Genna Gossipgirl, and last but definitely NOT least...the sweet, beautiful, and superhot DJ Giela Delpaso. All the guys finished early so it ended up being a girl's night out. :D Thanks for a fabulous time everyone and my apologies for anyone I might have left out.

The picture at the start of the post is the lovely ADORE Romantic gown by Soraya, the owner of Serene Sensations. This is a shot with a curious little hummingbird from just outside her shop area.

Ok..unless something happens I probably won't get to post again until after my operation and the painkillers wear off. :P No jogging for this girl for a while...of course that's why my knee started causing me problems in the first place so.....Anyway thanks for staying with this post till the end.

Lots of love to all,
Veronique xoxo

EFA Graduation Sunday

*Photo courtesy of the EFA blog
We Did It!

Marking the end of two long weeks of work, our class graduated from EFA yesterday in a beautiful show. Despite inworld issues at times inhibiting our ability to change clothes, all the ladies conducted themselves in a calm and professional manner befitting Ewing Fashion Agency models.

Special thanks to all our instructors and other EFA models who graciously bestowed their knowledge and expertise and helped us learn and grow.

BTW: I'm on the far right. :)

What happened this Sunday?

This Sunday, June 15, 2008, was a lovely day for fashion and fun in SL.
Several of us from Ewing Fashion Agency attended the InStyle Graduate Fashion show featuring

*Bliss Couture*, the glamorous designs of Amutey DeCuir.

. (which really ARE glamorous and beautiful, BTW)



The sun was shining and the air was fun, sassy, and sexy. Kylie Gears, Nancy Jie and all the employees and models of InDesign did a magnificent job with this show.

Life though always seems to take strange twists and turns...even a second life. The ladies of EFA had to leave the InDesign show early for our own photo shoot. It was Bond Girl shoot day. The girls were dangerous, strong, sexy, and sophisticated. I'll post some photos when they arrive. My special thanks to Tempest, Tiffany, Amelia, Vera, and all the models and my classmates at EFA. (and of course Una, who made all of this possible when she created her agency) :)

Stay tuned for more...

A 1st!

I was honored yesterday, not with a trophy or tiara, roses or riches, but with a simple question...

"Where did you get your body from? I just LOVE it"

It happened at ALady and it was such a thrill that with all those beautiful shapes around, someone came to me and asked where mine came from. :) (for what it's worth, it's a Mela shape)

That was just the boost I needed for almost the end of a L O N G week. :P


On another note: I just closed the deal on a new island in Costa Rica, so anyone watching this blog, drop me a note and you'll be on the invite list for the housewarming island party soon to come. :)

Love,
Veronique! xo

New Happenings

A lot of things have happened since I last posted (which wasn't too long ago).
Firstly I found a beautiful plot of land at MC Estates. For all those who've never seen/been to/heard of them, you should really take a look. Their lands are stunning and the terraforming is exquisite. The owners and estate managers are some of the most helpful I've ever encountered too.

When I started looking there were about 9 plots (8000sqm) available and by the time I finally decided to buy there were only about 3-4 left (for sale by the estate themselves..others are available but for sale by the owners). You can see them Here

That brought me to my next problem...a home. (You need some place to relax and change clothes and other things, right?) I had a house already at Poppice. It was a beautiful Mediterranean/Portuguese style home from Galland Homes but it just seemed a bit small and boxy for this new land. I spent days trying to find one and finally found this beautiful KCB Umbrian Villa at Villas on Villa. These are designed by Kumiko Mills (who is wonderful at returning IM's btw). While the one I purchased was Umbrian, she also has Tuscan villas, as well as British and French villas/manor homes. Anyone looking for this type would benefit from checking her homes out though make sure to buy a footprint of the type you are interested in for L$0.00 and make sure it will fit on your land first. :)

With a house in order it was time to turn toward other things...
I was chosen by Ewing Fashion Agency (EFA) to join their model training classes which began yesterday. YAY!! :) This is really an honor and I'm proud to be part of one of the most highly rated fashion agencies in SL! I'll be posting when the graduation show will be so you can see my do my thing on the catwalk. :)

In other modeling news, I am now in the running for ETD (Elikapeka Tiramisu Designs) store poster girl. If you don't know, ETD has some of the most spectacular hairstyles (among other things) in SL and was the 2008 BOSL choice for Hair Designer! See! (it's a little more than 1/2 way down the page)

So, to all my current and future friends...thank you for reading all my babble. :)

Drop me an IM (notecard is better as my IM's are capped sometimes) inworld if you want or come by for coffee/tea in my new Umbrian villa.

Love n kisses to you all.

Veronique! xoxo
