Due to the fact that, contrary to rumor, I do have a life, I missed the graduation of the second cohort of AVENUE models. Standing around adding the names of supermodels to my friends list is probably the second most fun thing to do in Second Life. Or third. Well, whatever the ordinal, I was bummed to be unable to attend.
However, you can check out an overview at the AVENUE blog site and then see lots more pictures at their Flickr gallery.
I refuse to do a write up based on the images because I wasn't there and I so have some minimal integrity. Ah well, maybe next time.

Even More Sig...
And the beat goes on...
The latest edition of SLentrepreneur magazine has a profile of AVENUE Models' owner, Rusch Raymaker, that includes a fabulous (can I use that word without sounding too "fashionista"?) picture of her. Rusch works extremely hard and seems to spend more time in SL than RL - I could be wrong ;)
Meanwhile, over at Castle Keep magazine, their third edition - the September 2008 one - is out and includes a profile of the Koinup social network, with a mention of the Ning network also.
Next up, I think, will be a rather long article in SLentrepreneur probably entitled The 4C's of 3D's: How To Succeed With Virtual Worlds. It's an Op-Ed piece that sets out the four key features needed to create and sustain a virtual environment. There's lots more to say on the subject - in fact, I think there's a book in there somewhere - and I hope to be writing more in the future about each of the four elements in more detail. Keep checking back here.
As a taster of what's to come along these lines, check out an article by Prokofy Neva called The Six Economies of Second Life, and do check the comments to see my take on this.
And for those who are vaguely interested in personalities, Mony and I spent some time together last night, checking out some clothing and sitting at the old Balloon Tour platform in Ambleside. Whatever we "are," she's always going to be special to me and I'm just happy for any time we snatch together. Still.

A Day with some Supermodels
The Metaverse Tribune has just published my article on this weekend's AVENUE Model's Academy graduation show. I love these events as I get to wear a suit and just sit back and watch as other people do the work. Music and models - can't be too bad. And if I then do a write up, I get paid.
I interviewed Kinji Lockjaw and Cody Bolero, both of whom seem likable and easy to chat with. In my limited experience as a Second Life writer I've always found that folks are willing to talk to me about themselves. Apart from the guys at [hoorenbeek], who have managed to avoid all attempts to be interviewed, everyone else has been open and happy to talk. But then again, I love to hear peoples' stories. I enjoy writing interviews because I think readers of Second Life publications do like to hear about people.

EXXESS and Avenue Models Fashion Show
The Wilder girls have just sent me a pack of sexy pics from the EXXESS fashion show that took place just over a week ago. I thought I'd post them because they are so cool and you can even see me... sort of. In the picture below, the red line points at my little blond head!
Ooooh!
Ahhhh!!
Wow!!
Grrrr!
Awesome!!
Wardrobe malfunction?
And finally, the head of Avenue Models herself, Rusch Raymaker!
Check out the Avenue Models blog for more information on this talented team of Second Life sophisticates, and the Wilder PR site for some more pics.

EXXESS Designs and Avenue Models: Some Show!
So what's not to like about hot models, hot clothes, and hot music? Layja Vidor had an exciting array of designs on show for the New World Order event that took place yesterday. Rusch Raymaker, owner of Avenue Models, provided the talent for the spectacle, and Zasa Rossini of La Belle Vie furniture designed the runway.
In keeping with the theme of "hot," the runway entrance was a large, fiery Egyptian-styled portal through which the models would appear -a trick that only Second Life can allow for without inflicting third-degree burns to the models and terrible damage to the clothes. And what caught my eye? Legs. Or should I say the leg-wear. There were a variety of straps, thongs, chains, and other modes of wrapping all drawing attention to the legs and thighs. Maybe it's just me but it seemed that Layja has spent as much time working on the outfits below the thighs as above!
The show was fast-paced and flowed seamlessly - or if there were glitches I didn't notice. Kudos to Rusch for making that happen: There is nothing worse than being at a fashion show waiting for something to happen and having to endure long gaps while the organizers get organized. The downside of this is that when you have such a vivid and crowded environment, taking pictures requires a lot of preparation and skill; two things I lack in abundance. My suggestion to my good friends at Wilder PR is to get a hold of some pre-show model shots and have them sent to the press immediately after the show.
Having said that, Shenandoah Saintlouis managed to get some pre-show pics and has them posted on her blog: ShenS Blog. Take a look at the outfits there, and note the leg work!
