Morgane conjures fire

When i created my Morgane’s shoot – Sorceress, i had an vision in mind. After a couple months, i saw a picture contest whihc the theme was Fire. I finally created a picture showing exactly what i meant by that pose set.

When i think sorceress, i think of how they can conjure balls of fire water or else, to either do good or wrong. In this picture Morgane Conjures a ball of white flames under the moonlight. Is she creating it to do good or bad? I will let you choose.

This beautiful dress of Mea Culpa, called Demons victory, is made by the One in a million contest winner, Tatanka Kaligawa.

I simply love the doves round cage that brings peace in this demonic creation over the floor lenght frilled skirt. The high collar gives a high importance, making you look like a demon queen. the sexy top of this amazing dress has a deep dazzling cleavage that brings out the best of what you have to offer. The long sleeves which is not covering the shoulders, adds a special touch to the dress that would just not be the same without.

The marvelous devilish horns and headpeice with a bat is the final touch to this outfit. Unseen on the picture as i removed it for the picture is gorgeous matching wings. When we look at a creation like this we can understand why Tatanka won the One in a million contest.

On this picture, i used Morgane’s shoot – Sorceress pose 4, that i rotated to get a better front view, exposing the hand better to conjure white flames.

Between 2 posemakers with Trinity Graves

Today, i meet up with another posemaker who became a great friend. With a similar buisness life, we are both posemakers, models, agency and academy owners. I met Trinity officially when we both were in the same team for the Live styling card event, where we had to both share our poses for the same outfits to present in a competition. That’s when our friendship started.

Trinity Graves

When i don’t have to to make a custom pose for a clients, that’s to who i send my clients over, and i know they will be well taken care of. Shes a great girl with a big sense of humour and a big heart. She creates great runway and photoshoot poses!

Hello Trinity, thanks for allowing me to ask you questions so everybody gets to know you better.

Morgane: How did you come by Second Life in the first place?

Trinity: Well I used to play The Sims Online and a friend said hey come play SL its sooo much better. So I did.

Morgane: How long did it take you to find a goal in sl and what was it?

Trinity: I knew what I wanted before I came to SL.
I wanted to be creative and have fun and meet people.

Morgane: How old were you when you got into the fashion industry of SL?

Trinity: Hmm Well My main account is dated back to beginning of 06 and I started Modeling in 08 so 2 years ? Though it wasn’t until last year that I became really serious about my career.

Morgane: You own a Modeling Agency which is also an Academy. Can you talk to us about it?

Trinity: Avante is a wonderful Family oriented place. Where we can leave bias and prejudice at the door. Models come to help one another and learn from one another.

Morgane: You also create poses, when did you open your shop?

Trinity: I opened it about 4 months ago I think.

Morgane: All pose makers have their own reason for why they started to make poses, what was your trigger point?

Trinity: I got tired of going to crazy laggy stores and not being able to find poses that worked for my crazy and out of the box looks. So I decided who better to make poses for Avante models than an Avante model.

Morgane: When you joined SL, did you think you would be where you are at now?

Trinity: Laughs. Does anyone imagine when they are a brand new waddling new avatar that they will be glamorous and successful? No when I came I just wanted to make friends and be creative.

Morgane: How would you describe who is Trinity?

Trinity: Well I like to think im kind generous and caring. I want to make an impact and I feel a strong social conscious and responsibility to my peers to set a good example. I think I have a strong sense of creative fashion and I am always willing to learn something new.

Morgane: What do you do in sl to have fun when you are not working?

Trinity: Well almost everything I do is fun. Mostly I style , hang out with people, enter contests, teach new models, make poses, walk runways, take pictures, and explore the wonders of our virtual universe.

Morgane: Anything you would like to say to all those reading you right now?

Trinity: Grins big and wide. Yeah I would quote the Avante Motto. Fake it till you make it!
This means whatever you do and whatever happens always remember the audience doesn’t know you didn’t mean to do it. So stick it don’t correct it believe in yourself and you will go farther than the stars.

Morgane: Thank you so much for according me some of your time.

Up close with Mandrakke Dagger

Hello dear readers, I decided to present you some of my designer friends. Today i will be starting with one of my oldest friend, Mandrakke Dagger. I met him when i was almost a newb, at the club he was working at. From the first boots he made that i saw, i knew he had potential, always careful of details. Highly detailed touches added to make every pair unique. No matter what you want, you will find a boot to suit your desires. Mandrakke is currently part of the Runway perfect hunt going from oct. 1st to oct. 31st, offering sexy boots for all the ladies. Find different pairs every week in his 60L weekends vendors.

Hi Mandrakke, Thank you for accepting to do an interview with me.

Morgane: Mandrakke, how did you discover about Second Life?

Mandrakke: I was working with a guy as a level designer and he had mentioned people making real money on games like Second Life, a couple weeks later I stumbled across Second Life from an article in a real estate magazine talking about a guy that got rich selling virtual land so i figured I would take a look.

Morgane: What were you doing in SL, before you start working?

Mandrakke: Playing in the casinos when they were still legal but that didn’t last too long, I think within a month of me being here, the Lindens banned gambling across the grid.

Morgane: What was your first job in SL? Did you like it?

Mandrakke: Technically I guess my first job would have been security at Provocative Night Club and yes it was fun.

Morgane: How did you come up with the idea of creating boots?

Mandrakke: It was either going to be hair or boots and boots allowed more creativity and variety and hair confused the hell out of me. I didn’t know where to start

Morgane: Did you have a specific idea of what your style of boots was going to be?

Mandrakke:  In the beginning, I just wanted a small variety, I didn’t have anything set in stone because this was all new to me, I didn’t know what was popular, I just wanted to make a name for myself and see where it would take me.

Morgane: Can you describe us what type of boots you create?

Mandrakke:  I create anything from ankle boots to crotch high boots. The one thing that you will find is a lot of them are themed. Everyone is different and has different tastes so I am creating an endless variety of “flavors” and lifestyles for everyone from a nice simple traditional design to an meticulous one of a kind of boot that still has sex appeal.

Morgane: Can you tell us, what makes Drakke boots what they are?

Mandrakke:  Well I would have to say there are a few things, one being the detail I put into each boot design, they do not get released until they are perfect and everything is lined up correct or get smacked up side the head and get told they are done. =) The other thing that stands out is the chrome heel and sole, and now the realistic gold heels, if it has a chrome heel, its a Drakke’s, or a cheap copycat.

Morgane: Do you create other things aside to boots?

Mandrakke: No no <smiles> only boots for the time being, the group keeps me busy with new designs but Shade Designs does create matching outfits and they are part of the same store so you can get completely sexified with boots and matching outfits

Morgane: What do you like the most in designing?

Mandrakke: The endless possibilities limited only to your mind. It lets you explore and create anything and everything.

Morgane: Mandrakke, what can we expect from you in the future?

Mandrakke: Well with the introduction of mesh in Second Life, I am thinking I might step… verbally of course… into heels, but that is still a ways into the future and you might be seeing a lot more of Drakke in the news if all goes well.

Morgane: What is your past time in SL when you are not working?

Mandrakke: Not much lol, now a days I work until I fall asleep it seems, my goal is to make Drakke my primary business in all worlds and with that, it doesn’t leave much free time for the time being but when we do find free time, it’s usually goofing around or watching something together, talking, or looking up useless facts and goofy clips on the Internet and if there is a lot of free time, we might run to a CCS sim.

Morgane: Anything you would like to say about you to those reading this right now?

Mandrakke: Hmm, I am crazy, funny, annoying at times, and don’t take things seriously other than my dedication to this business. And of course Thank You to everyone, without them I wouldn’t be here. Please spread the word, if you like what I do, it’s the best thing you can do to help me keep doing it. I have big plans but without the voice of the people, I am only one man.

Thank you Mandrakke for your time!

Being beautiful with Oceane

Hi everybody,

Some skin makers have the chance to have their creations worn everyday by models. For me, my personal skinmaker is Oceane Grumiaux. Not only she makes top quality skins, shapes, makeups, eyes, lashes but she does my custom skins for my fahsion shows and even made my wedding skin especially for me.

I made my own shape and for a while i was looking for a skin that would literally melt in place perfectly with my shape. The day i tried the Jade skin line, i knew i found my face.

Today i want to present you her latest skins. First is Jade Sakura pink.

And then Jade Sakura Orange, in Vanilla tan.

The delicate flowers softly handpainted with care, caresses down the left cheek while the lips are multi toned. I always LOVED multi colors makeup and it’s done so well )

Then another brand new skin, that i totally love, Jade is my official face but how can you not fall for Kiki?

Vero Modero Androgyny Armiore

Hi everybody,

Saturday, august 27th, Farouche Tres modeling agency, presented an absolutly original fashion show concept. By showcasing the incredible designs of Vero Modero in a whole new way, Androgyny.

Androgyny is a term—derived from the Greek words ανήρ, stem ανδρ- (anér, andr-, meaning man) and γυνή (gyné, meaning woman)—referring to the combination of masculine and feminine characteristics, here used through fashion. (from wikipedia)

In other words, we could call it being a fashionably cross-dressing.

On the poster you can see Veronica Krastner and Ewan Crumb. Veronica is wear the male outfit Dark, which is a perfect exemple of an androgynous / unisex outfit. Males rocks this outfit but a female can wear this outfit with pasties and be stunning! Ewan is wearing Night Crow Jewel, perfect for the male who wants to be original and out of the box. We all love to get out of our rl comfort zone and SL is a great place to do it.

10 models rocked the runway under the direction of Tristan Tiaret, Morgane Batista and Sue Moonwall. 3 back up models were on the ready to take the place in case it’s needed.

Here is what the models wore during the fashion show:

Raphael Treves
outfit 1= vesti set
outfit 2= Sporty man & leather pants black

Lexi Vargas
outfit 1= Night crow Jewel
outfit 2= Aviator (peach)

Soulful Dreamscape
outfit 1= Masq man
outfit 2= plaid sets (short pants)

Veronica Krastner
outfit 1= Dark
outfit 2= black jack

Dolce Panache
outfit 1= lazio hawaii shirt & black flash pants
outfit 2= buio man

Starlitestarbrite Constellation
outfit 1= camo pants & matching bikini top
outfit 2= deep red

Katherine Comet
outfit 1= Sporty man & leather pants blue
outfit 2= Armiore

Meimei Shiu
outfit 1= rocker set
outfit 2= plaid sets (long pants)

Sazzy Oh
outfit 1= biker set
outfit 2= Aviator (grey)

Gretel Bulloch
outfit 1= Snake set
outfit 2= Nero man

The 3 males and 3 females wore together the same outfit on the runway, presenting 2 ways of styling it depending on your avatar gender.

Here’s my own taste of styling with the Armiore outfit. From the other end of a room, if nobody looked at my name, you wouldn’t imadiatly know if i’m female or male, which is exactly what androgyny is. I used a pastie to stay warm, added bracelets, unisex short nails and face make up along with an edgy haircut.

My picture is made by Sue Moonwall, who also helped me by doing her own blog presenting the Biker set. A total of 5 models will have blogged this fashion show for you all check our their posts too.

The Funky Chapeau

WARNING

This blog post may cause you excessive giggling. The creativeness of what is coming up, sure may make you laugh, i know i did..a LOT.

In december 2009, i was part of a kids hunt as creator, and met tons of childrens. But this one always remained in my mind, not only he is such a great sl kid but he is the creator and owner of Funky Chapeau. I am glad that he finally reopened his boutique with new releases for all to come and get his fun hats, and you wont beleive the price. Each of his hats are 25L only, yes you read right, i didn’t forget a number.

Either you wear his hats to make your friends laugh, that you feel silly or want to add a special touch to a very special outfit, you will definatly love what is coming. I present you, Funky Chapeau by Greg gustav.

The Cubbins Chapeau, is a surprising 3 hats looped on top of each other. Very colorful and fun, you can wear it with so many different outfit colors. If you love top hats, you will love this one!

Giggles, this adorable brown top hat, called Koala Chapeau is acessorized with a small and bigger koala with a tiny heart on top. How can we resist to not laugh seeing the face of the koalas.

This hat called Bluffin Muffin, was inspired by Greg who was listening to Poker face by Lady Gaga, he listened to the lyrics and accidently he heard wrong a part of the song. If you click the hat, it will sing you what Greg heard. I swear when i saw him with this hat on his head, i couldn’t stop laughing.

Ok, this hat called Litterbug Chapeau, is quite something. It’s a trash upside down with items inside. The hat is scripted with an animation holding the hat, particles on the floor and music when you walk. If you click the litterbug hat in a land that you can rezz, it will throw around trash parts.

This hat called Yikes Stripes, is a small top hat with a zebra on the side along with 2 swirled antennas with black balls. Not only it is creative but also stylish. The hat is not found in the store anymore, but i think if you offer him an ice cream with a big please, he could sell it to you. Tell him it’s Morgane’s fault, giggles. It’s my favorite hat of all the lot and one of his oldest.

The Candy’s Lovers chapeau is an adorable red and white striped hat with candies around it and a candy fairy on top which sends soft particules. Isn’t cuuuute?!

I’ve got personality chapeau in the pink version is scripted to change the face on the hat by itself. You can also find the hat in other colors.

The mobile Zoo chapeau is a multicolor hat which holds multiple small animals on the top and rim. Can you already try to imagine what outfit you could wear with this hat?

The Entangled chapeau is a scripted glittering hat which changes colors by itself, while a noob butterfly is standing on top of it with a magic wand emiting multicolor particules. Confettis around the hat matches colors with the particules. A magic wand matching the hat is also provided.

Want to see more insanly creative hats? come visit his store: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/GlowBug/123/157/22

May i add that all the poses are created by me *Morgane Batista*, all the skins and makeups are from Oceane Body Boutique.
