MODA Achievement Award

Last night the MODA Modeling School was given an Outstanding Achievement award by the Second Life Cable Network.

In the words of Executive Producer Starr Sonic, "Every producer wants their show to look good. But, when your subject matter is fashion, looking good is everything. Jujudoll and Licentious at MODA didn't stop there. Not only does their show look great, but their tireless commitment to rehearsals, scripts, and timing have created an impressive 30 minute show that runs like clockwork. I'd like to proudly present the extraordinary achievement award for design and choreography to MODA Fashion Spotlight."

This is one award that was truly won by the team. The only way to keep an event going week in week out is to have a cohesive and spirited team. While individuals shine, it takes a group to keep up the commitment. I would like to thank

• Makeda Cole and Angela Watkin for coaching the models and keeping an eye on timing,
  
• KandieKane Laval for handling the wardrobe,
  
• Calveen Kline for his technical advice as well as his building skills, and
  
• ColoradoCowboy Manen for the announcing, the music and wrapping his mouth around those eclectic fashion names.

And a special thank you to those who turned a narrow catwalk into a runway with your energy, style and commitment to excellence.

EROS Designs - The Secret of Love

My apologies to EROS Designs. Our recent fashion show ran longer than expected and we didn't realize that the TV coverage would just end like Cinderella at midnight. So the EROS fashions didn't get the exposure they so richly deserve.

From left to right we have me, Makeda Cole, Noelle Canning and Calveen Kline all modeling EROS’ Chardon in white and red. "Chardon" was a fabric made for royalty, including beautiful silk damask, regally embroidered in gold. Chardon is matched for both men and women in colors suitable for the caste colors of roleplaying areas. The women's gowns include two skirt styles and matching shoes. The men's outfits include a matching regal cape.

What I love most about these outfits is the way they fit without looking like a spandex suit. Aside from the fact that men don't tend to buy clothes, the male form is difficult to design for. Second Life tends to make clothing envelop the body like Clingwrap, which looks wonderful on a woman, but comical for a man's suit. EROS' clothing fits like the luxurious cloth that it is. Add to that the delicate gold work and you have an outfit worth getting married in. Keth and Uda Mommsen are truly masters of the craft.
