I Am Still Around

It's tough being a model.  We paid a huge sum to attend modelling school, committed our time for all the classes, graduated and then we went on to spend a large amount of money on a good skin, lots of hairs, make-up, accessories.....  But, there are very few modelling jobs that come by. Even if there are, the pay isn't enough to cover our personal grooming.  There is always a 'price' to pay to become a super model  and  beauty queen.  In real life, being a model is equally tough too, with many top fashion and cosmetic brands now rather use celebrities to represent their brands instead of top models. 

I guess, I won't be having much opportunities to do runway fashion shows and be on print ads, but I found what I enjoy most... to write on my little blog, to style up and do my own little photoshoots.   There are much more freedom this way than to work within a certain constrain.  A quote by Cyril Connolly stated - "better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self."  So I truly appreciate those who took the time to read my blog and the few designers who have given me the chance to blog for them.  The little freedom I enjoy here really means a lot to me.

In these pictures, I am wearing one of  Legal Insanity new outfit, Cindy Jersey Dress.  This dress comes in six colour choices of flowers.  I have picked the brown one and matched it with a pair of orange colour sneaker boots, and add on a hairstyle with hair pulled high up to the right.  The overall look is a young and vibrant style.

Online Shopping?

At L$49, this is amazing!  But wait, it's NOT one of the following dresses.  It's for ALL which I am wearing in these pictures!  Not just that, there are 6 MORE different textures of the same design!!  Wait... not only that!  There are matching sets of necklace, earrings and bracelets in 6 texture change stones, AND, 12 texture change flats!!!  Are you blown away?  I found it on a Marketplace store's promo item and it's not at inworld.

For many of us who like to shop on Marketplace while login to SL or not (like I often do), there is a new group opened last week for merchants and shoppers.  This group is named MarketPlace To You [MP2U]. Shoppers could now receive merchants updates about their stores on Marketplace.  The founder, Tohto Xue, invites all to join and there is no cost for joining. 

What's in it for shoppers and merchants?  Obviously, these are the main points:

For shoppers:

• Receive updates about Marketplace stores, e.g. sales, promos, new releases, gifts, etc.
• Shop anywhere you want!
• No awful lag in a store during store sales.
• No issues on "teleport failed".

For merchants:

• Reach out to 'online' shoppers (i.e. Marketplace avid shoppers).
• Great platform for Marketplace store owners without inworld stores to promote their products.
• Extend your marketing initiatives to Marketplace store.
• Be found in Marketplace!  Elevate from the others, not wait to be found.

To join, there are two ways:

1)   MP2U inworld group, copy and paste the following link to your local chat, click and you will get the  

      group profile where you can join the group.
