OMG Sale !!!
Yes, OMG i can't believe it. My favourite designer, Myllie Writer at Persona is having a 50% sale. Naturally I hitched up my skirt and ran over there as fast as I could. Imagine my surprise when I already own more than half a wall of Myliie's stuff, and some other bits and bobs, but still plenty to choose from, including some great new outfits. Can't buy them all, so I'm deciding which... Hurry, sale ends on 18th January. :)

Fashion Show Aftermath II
Here are the shots of some of my clothing being modelled at the recent Twin Towers Mall Grand Opening and Holiday Fashion Show, graciously taken by Tillie Ariantho and available in slideshow.
Not too sure about the silly hat, but the casual look is what I was aiming for. This is what I was looking for, and will probably be available as an outfit:
This is my French flag leather jacket, though the flag is on the back! That's me on the right, standing on the sofa, having just returned after a crash. I'm wearing a light blue furry sweaater, plaid skirt and woolen tights from Myllie Writer at Persona.
This is my new upcoming Sunflower Belle outfit as modelled by Kira Paderborn at Avenue Models. She did a great job, adding some urban feel, and some belts covering the yet to be tweaked gap in my own belt lol:
This is how I see it being worn:
And it will also be available in black, as Café Belle:
Pretty sexy I hope!

Fashion Show aftermath
Well, it's over! You can find a slideshow of the show here. My stuff is mostly at the beginning, after the catwalk pics and before the menswear. Lucky I can see them, as I crashed just as the first model with my clothes on was coming down the walkway, so I missed two, and pretty much everything else was grey while it all rezzed due to the lag. Don'tcha just hate SL for that sometimes? lol
It actually went pretty well, even though at the fitting an hour before I found some of the models had not been given everything, particularly the skirts, which are the two new and important items... I know it was short notice, but really the whole thing was organised very poorly. It was supposed to coincide with the grand opening of the Twin Towers Mall, owner by an old friend I used to work for when he had a club, and where I have my new main store.
It went from a mooted idea, for which I was nowhere ready, and the next thing I know it's on a week later, I'm billed as "one of the most influential designers in Second Life" with nothing to show, and no clue since it's my first show as a designer. I modelled for one once, and that was chaos too. So the date was for a few days before Christmas: not much time to get things organised, little Christmas shopping time to take advantage of, plus, I had two new stores to fit out and do all the normal Christmas things myself. I was told I needed 6 or 7 outfits, and at that stage realised I would not have enough time, but I couldn't pull out, publicity had already gone out. So I managed a couple of skirts, and threw together 5 outfits, mostly with the skirts and some jeans I've been perfecting, matched with some of my T-Shirts. Not exactly haute couture, but it would have to do.
Having bust a gut, the practice the day before was cancelled at the last minute due to a lack of models, practice to take place before the event the next day. Nobody around when I went, and when I arrived there for the event itself, nobody except another girl looking for the event too. Finding the mall owner and the PR agency woman offline, we were mystified until we checked Events and found that it had been cancelled, postponed in effect. Due to a mix up, it seems they thought each other had told all the designers...
So all in all, it was a hurried rush for 5 days that got in the way of finishing fitting out my two new shops, general Christmas activity, and to cap it all the mall wasn't put in places until the opening event. That means not only did it waste time, but it was rescheduled for the 30th of December, so we missed on the Christmas shopping possibilities too...

I'm so nervous, Mode Provençale's first fashion show is taking place, and the whole thing has been one mad rush lol. It's been cancelled once, then lots of last minute running around, now some delay while it's on...
