New Faces at FACES

Congratulations to Yumi Darkes and Makeda Cole, two of the MODA models who were chosen in the Faces modeling contest. Pictured at right is Makeda with moi in an unposed snap, while underneath is Yumi.

Both of these talented models have spent countless hours upgrading their default avatar, clothing and accessory settings to create their own distinctive look. Remember, if you leave it the way you bought it, then you will look like everyone else who chose to purchase the same item. MODA training teaches you how to take what you buy and make it yours!

* A Modeling Agency with experienced and professional models, as well as Runway Show Planning, Coordinating and Hosting
* Image Consulting Services to help take your style to the next level
* Fashion Blog for the latest releases, reviews, and suggestions on inventory coordination
* Monthly Fashion Magazine spotlighting the fashion industry

The FACES agency will share space on the newly opened Glam.

Good luck guys!

It's all about love.love.love

I only recently discovered the joys of update groups. Unfortunately, at the same time I discovered that a limit of 25 is in no way enough for all the groups I would like to receive updates from! This has forced me to be really selective about who is included in my list.

One of the more favored groups on my precious list is the “update group for everything love.love.love”. Love.love.love is a quirky, pretty little gem of a store located in beautiful Michief Cove. It is owned by Roberta Beauchamp. As with all the update notices I get these days, I was thrilled to receive Roberta’s notice informing me (and the rest of the update group!) that she had just completed the rest of her fall line consisting of “…hand drawn coats, sweaters, dresses and hats for the brisk autumn evenings in SL!”.

I instantly tped to the store with a friend. In the blink of an eye, my friend had bought this eye-catching, off-the-shoulder, belted grey dress that would instantly identify anyone as an SL fashionista (see below). Roberta is very approachable and was kind enough to inform me, on questioning, that the dress is made of a "cotton and nylon blend", intended to drape gently on the body. Best of all, if this dress is a little out of your price range, you can try the rack of quality discounts at the store.

Model: Yumi Darkes
Dress: Tres Magnifique by love.love.love
Skin: Golden Tone in Classic by Cake
Hair: Tiffany in Black by Aden
Boots: Bloom in Black by Maitreya

MODA Model Wins 2nd Place

This is the first post by one of our new blog authors, Pearl Flute. Pearl is currently a MODA student, but definitely on her way to being a top model.

Yumi Darkes, MODA Runway Model, won second prize at the Faces of Asia 2007 contest held last Saturday. The contest was aimed at "avatars with an Asian appearance that look good, even gorgeous, to walk the runway and appear in promotional advertisements". If you want to see the winners in action, Yumi and the other finalists will be modeling at the Style Asia Fashion Show on 24th and 25th August at 5pm SL time. Check here for further details.
