So where are we ?

Well I know its been a while since Ive given you all an update on all the wonderful things Ive been up to. So just a little paragraph based on successes and achievements.

Captured Photography Book 2009 - Hurrah! I made it through to the next round and then got the nod from Impa that I was in the final 20, so Im looking forward to the next few weeks shooting for the book.

JCNY October Model Fest - Yay, made it to the final, for me an acheivement in itself. Didnt win, didnt expect too, just proud to say I was in it.

Face of Photolife 2009 - After what seemed liked numerous elimanation rounds, I made it into the Top 7 for the final showdown. Was a great competition and so well organised. Kate Stockholm was the winner of this great event. For me was a great chance for exposure and now have added contacts within the industty.

Looking forward to what the future might bring.

Face of Photolife Top Ten Assignment Part One

Face of Photolife Video Launch

An extremely long notecard arrived in my inbox yesterday regarding the next phase of the Face of Photolife Assignment.

As mentioned previously in my The angels are on my side blog, we were given 2000L in order to help create a look that speaks clearly to those who will be judging us on our creativity and our confidence to present who we are. The look needed to be casual / pants. Photographs needed to be taken in this outfit and submitted ready for judging on Sunday. Based on these photographs, someone will be crowned 'Miss Creativity' and potentially move forward into the next round. I racked my brains today in the car how I was going to promote myself. The only condition was that this needed to be taken on the photolife studio. So my creative foot forward, this is my submission for Miss Creativity ..........

In addition the title of Miss Photogenic will to be given. We were asked to provide a new faceshot and will be judged also. Here is my submission ......... Just hoping its enough.

The angels are on my side

Well what can I say, its been an amazing but very busy couple of weeks for me ..........

JCNY Model Fest didn't come to fruition and my name wasn't picked out for the wk 3 successful applicants. However after looking back on my email transaction of inventory received, it never actually made it into the hands of JD Hansen. Therefore Ive resubmitted and hopefully it wont get lost in the realms of the SL metaverse. So once again its in the hands of the gods.

On a positive note however, let me tell you about the Face of Photolife Pageant that's running at the Opium Sim. As an owner of a photolife studio, I am always popping over to HQ to check out any new gadgets, textures and props that may enhance my photography. Mooching around the sim one afternoon, I noticed they were promoting ' The Face of Photolife' (FOPL). I strongly believe in only entering competitions whose 'brands' I would be happy to represent. PL is one of these, as one would say ' Its da bomb.' So I decided to apply. Ask any of my close friends, I thought I didn't stand a cat in chance hell of getting through to the pre-selection final that consisted of 20 strong beautiful women, so I couldn't believe my luck when my name was called. Lots of exciting coverage including video production by FallFilms contestant diary, Blogs and promo. The event is large scale and the prizes are wonderful.

The short list for the top 10 was pre-selected at the weekend. This was based on an interview that was conducted by some of the Opium Team midweek. These Q&A sessions always make me nervy and OMG what do you wear to such an event??? Anyway to my delight, I have made it through to the top 10 and will be taking part in a runway pageant with more Q&A's on Sunday 26th October 7pm SLT. I have received 2000L for making it through to this stage, this money given to potentially assist us in purchasing a new outfit and accessories for the event.

I still don't have a clue what I'm going to wear, but I'm grateful and privileged that Ive made it through this far. Even if I don't make the final 3 or 5 I think it is, then at least this is another personal accomplishment and another string I can add to my bow.
