DIVA Garden Party

Honeydew Hilite celebrated her first Rez Day last night by showcasing her Unreleased Diva Style Fall Fashions at a Garden Party produced by MODA. The fashions were modeled by students and even some of the models at MODA Modeling School. The models posed on columns so the party-goers could get a good look at Diva Style's new productions. The party started at 6pm with some fabulous new music spun by DJ ColoradoCowboy Manen who took requests and kept the crowd of over 50 people dancing until well after 8pm.

Honeydew couldn't help showing off her elegantly outfitted husband, Nelson Tripsa, as the two of them cut an elegant swathe on the dance floor. Later the models mingled with the guests and the party really got going.

Thank you Honeydew for the sneak peek of your NEW FALL FASHIONS! We hope you'll let everyone know when we can buy them!

Miss Diva Style - KandieKane

Our warmest congratulations go out to KandieKane Laval, the winner of MODA Modeling School's Miss Diva Style competition. KandieKane wowed our judges in several categories, including her pose selections, overall look, and presence on the runway.

"I'm just happy to be here," enthused KandieKane as she accepted her tiara from Noelle Canning, the event organizer. "I'm so proud to be representing such a wonderful designer as Honeydew Hilite."

KandieKane beat out 9 other contestants after being narrowed down first to 5 runners-up and then 3 finalists.

KandieKain Laval is a native New Yorker with the urge to shop. Her favorite place, before she discovered Diva Style, was Solange. Her most embarrassing moment came during an SL crash when her hair ended up between her knees and she shrunk to midget size. Actually Kandy, you're not alone. That happens to everyone in SL.

KandieKain is seen here wearing her second outfit of the evening. No Diva can be without her little black dress and here we have KandieKane modeling a slinky little number. The Black Wave Dress is seductive with its deep v neckline and see-through wave cut trim. The wide diamante belt helps to show of those sexy diva curves. This outfit also includes a stunning diamond brooch.

Our lucky winner was not only crowned Miss Diva Style 2007, but was the recipient of a fantastic prize package. The prizes are a year of Diva Style clothing, a Year Contract to model for Diva Style and to represent Diva Style in ads and on the runway plus a scholarship to MODA and L$1000.

Our other two finalists were Payton Heron and Arienne Anatine.
Arienne was our first runner-up, and is seen here wearing the figure hugging Navy Blue Suit Dress. The hemline of the skirt features a white waved trim that exposes just a little leg, who says you can't mix business with pleasure! This stylish dress comes with two shirt options - a short sleeved version or the long sleeved which has matching wave trims. The outfit is completed with a thin white belt.

Payton is here in a cute Black Turtle Neck Dress. This dress is sexy yet demure showing off your curves and still leaving alot to the imagination. The waistline is accented with a cute gold belt and the dress has a full prim skirt which ends just above knee length.
Congratulations also go out to Payton Heron, winner of our Most Photogenic award and to Tweetie Ferraris, winner of our Miss Congeniality award. Both Payton and Tweetie received full scholarships to MODA Modeling School and $500L.

Everyone in the competition worked her heart out and did a fantastic job, and looked amazing. They're all winners in our book here at MODA and we hope to see them in future events.

When wearing a skirt or dress reduce your butt size to complement the outfit. Go to Appearance and SAVE AS under a different name like My Skirt Shape. Go to the LEGS > Legs and select BUTT size and SADDLE size and reduce them to 0 or a size that complements your outfit. After all, you paid big Lindens to look good in that outfit. (Thank you to Honeydew Hillite of Diva Style Couture for this tip. For newbies, Honeydew gives classes on Makeovers so check her out.)
