Well, the journey starts here, I'm sure I remember that from a film somewhere. Can't for the life of me remember which one, nothing new there then :) Blonde moment ........OK, OK another blonde moment..........quiet at the back there :)
Saturday 8th September, a date that will be engraved into my memory, the day we all met for the first time, all of the MVW contestants for this year's pageant. I have to confess that despite the way I sounded to my friends, I was extremely nervous about meeting all these huge names. Many of them were household names in the modelling industry and I am not ashamed to admit, heroines of mine. Nothing wrong with taking inspiration from the best, in fact I think that's a good thing.
Meeting all of them, some for the first time, was an utter delight. Such charming ladies, all of them, welcoming and happy. I was happy to see some faces I knew, but after a while, I felt I had known them all for ages. Now that is a nice feeling.We'll be spending the next 4 months together and I have a feeling it will be a wonderful 4 months as well.
We were asked, not for any particular style, but to appear as a future Miss Virtual World should look. Hmm, didn't narrow it down much, so I had a dig in my pile of stuff that is laughingly called an inventory and went to style a classic, elegant but chic look. Here's what I came up with ..................

Here's what I came up with ..................
Simple, but classy I hoped. This is one of the new dresses from Kunglers, a brand I have always had a soft spot for. This is the "Gisele" dress, one of the new ones, this shade is "Gisele Red". I bought the Nude shade first, but this one really grabbed me due to the subtle contrasting green design stitched into the body and skirt. The clean, sharp lines and modest length fitted perfectly with the look I was trying to find. Anyway, here's what I used :
Styling:-
Dress - Gisele Red - Kunglers
Shoes - Coquette Dark Red - N-Core
Hair - Bria Seaspray Mesh - Truth
Jewellry - "The Blood of Babylon" Collection - Chop Zuey

Well, that was Saturday, our first meeting. Lots of information, lots of things to remember and lots of laughter.
Sunday, Frolic gave us a style he wanted to see. The style was that of a millionairess walking down 5th Avenue in the fall. So, time to get out the darker colours and come up with what a rich lady might have worn while buying up half of 5th Avenue on a Saturday afternoon. Rather than go for furs, bling and stuff like that, I went for a slightly different look ...
The coat dress is one I bought last year, again coincidentally from Kunglers. I consciously tried for a look that a rich lady might be seen in and this dress when I wore it just screamed at me. Rather than going for pants or anything, I simply added some of the new pantyhose from Bax Coen, the "Casting" ankle boots from N-Core and to finish it off, a clutch from Orta and a throw-scarf/mini-poncho from Hatpins. Think it looks like a bored rich woman buying most of Tiffanys?

Well, that's the first weekend I've ever spent styling as long as I did. Actually had a lot of fun to be honest, wore some things I havn't worn in a long, long time !
Weekend 1 of MVW, I am still sane, no more teethmarks in my desk and next doors cat now feels safe enough to come into my kitchen and steal things again.
