Fashion Spotlight

These are a few slides from the second MODA Fashion Spotlight, featuring the work of designer Ana Boogiewoogie at Sh*t Happens. Ana designs for both men and women and her flirty funky outfits grab the eye wherever they appear. The matching shoes were from Gaia Goodnight from Mystikal Designs. Note the mismatched shoes with optional leggings. Too cool! To see the whole show, go to SLCN.tv

Yesterday's event was hosted by ColoradoCowboy Manen, a DJ usually known for his smooth voice and country and western music, but with a hidden talent for high energy fashion shows! Thanks, CC!

See you next Monday at 7pm sl time on the Second Life Cable Network.

Have Fun.....Sh*t Happens!

MODA’s monthly fashion showcase was held yesterday at Rodeo Drive. If you missed the show, you missed a great event. Rodeo Drive was crowded out and at one point it was standing room only. As a recent graduate of the MODA modeling school, I was fortunate enough to be asked to participate in the showcase. One of the outfits I really enjoyed modeling at the showcase was designed by Ana Boogiewoogie of Sh*t Happens.

The outfit, called Punky Harajuku, is from the designer's Japanese streetwear inspired mini-line and comes filled with tons of accessories, such as fuzzy leggings, belts, bangles and three different styles of the skirt. I also love the hair which Ana chose for the outfit. This sexy, funky hairstyle is called Syd and is by Gaia Goodnight of Darkstar Designs. You can get this outfit and the hair from Sh*t Happens and Darkstar Design main stores at Bishops Point.

Ana is currently running a competition to find the Face of Sh*t Happens. She will be choosing a new "face" every month and the lucky winner gets to keep all the designs they model. Who would not want to own one of Ana’s fun and unique creations? The competition is only open to members of the Sh*t Happens Update group, which by the way is really worth joining, even if you are not interested in the competition. Earlier this week, Ana held a two-hour “Buy one, get one free” group event at the main store recently. During the event you could pick any outfit of equal or lesser value to the one you bought and Ana was there the whole time – “on call” so to speak and to make sure we all got our free items immediately. That in my humble opinion is great customer service.

MODA produces the fashion showcase every month. Details of all our upcoming events are posted here. So if you do not want to be left out of the SL fashion scene, visit us here on a regular basis.

Summer Seduction Fashion Show

Summer Seduction: the MODA August Fashion Showcase is at 7:00 pm on August 23. Come and watch as the experienced MODA models join the MODA Modeling School graduates, with our guest announcer, SL DJ Mark Attenborough.

"I'm so excited to have Innocently Evil return to our showcase events," says Jujudoll Dancer, MODA's Founder and Co-CEO. "Nyte's work is always so fun to look at and even more fun to wear. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us this time! No, I really don't know…"

Mystikal Faddoul of Mystikal Hair Designs says she "strives to create hair that is unusual, quirky, and has a sense of humor or drama about it". The designer has a fiercely loyal following, who appreciate her originality. Mystikal is keen to point out that her textures are chosen specifically for their sheen. After receiving requests for bald hair, Mystikal created the Baldie, a follow-up to The Combover, another humorous design. Mystikal is also known for her mastery of the curl, see the loose curls in Flexi Saturday and compare to the tight curls tin the stunning Rollergirl. The designer recently opened a new main store at in Bali Loa.

Nova Lustre started as a jewelry designer, motivated by her real life designs, but became impressed by all the beautiful and unusual clothing in Second Life. "I find that the possibilities are only limited by time and imagination," she says. She specializes in affordable high fashion.

All the models are talking about their outfits from Sh*t Happens. Smart and funky, these designs will turn heads wherever you go. Where else in SL can you go when you skin your knee and need a bandage (and a kiss to make it better)? Ana Boogiewoogie is SL's Mistress of the Unexpected.

Mojo skins (formerly Au Naturel) by Laura Leandros rounds out our list of designers. Mojo is showing how well her skins match with shapes by Innocently Evil and hair by Mystikal Designs.
