Photography by Skip Staheli
Pyper's design is by Gizza called "Le Rouge"

Pyper's beautiful photos got her first place for Model of the Month, December. I have known Pyper for a while now, owner of the Dazzlers - she is one of the hardest working people I know, but also balances it out with having fun and making time for her friends. We are proud to announce her as Decembers model.......



Hello there, I am Pyper Dollinger and I am from Florida.

I was truly shocked to win this month and I am so honored to be apart of Calendar Models.

I have been in SL for 4 1/2 years now and have been able to live out my two dreams of dance and modeling. It is amazing how I lived my life as a dancer for 25 years in RL and now have been able to share it here in SL with the most amazing women and men. DAZZLERS Inc. is my family and they have been right beside me every step of the way as I have grown and learned to bring the art of dance to this virtual world.

I have modeled for 3 years and have loved the amazing creativity that the designers of SL possess. If it wasn't for them we wouldnt be able to spend our days playing dress up.

I have and do model for Glance, Avenue, and SL Illustarted. I am the CEO of DAZZLERS Inc. and will continue to live my dreams and learn each day all the amazing things SL brings my way.

Photography is by Kimber Kassner
Puhi is Wearing a design by Angel Dessous called "LePetite Peach"

The beautiful and refined Miss Puhi has a wonderful sense of humor and was a joy to work with - here she is in her own words Miss Rotaru:

Hi. My name is Puhi Rotaru and I have been an SL Model since June 2007.
I am a graduate of EVANE in 2008 and MVW Model academy in 2011.
I have done numerous designer shows, print work and store modeling. I have entered and placed in many contest for different styles.
I enjoy all I have done and accomplished in SL and I am looking forward to many more in my SL future.
I am unique, I am bold, I am PUHI ROTARU ! ! !


These are Puhi's winning photographs shot by Pam Astonia:

Congrads to QueenBrat who is the first model in Calendar Models history to win this title twice!! QueenBrat was also was featured as model of the month in November 2010 Queen is an expert stylist as you can see in these photos. She picked out her own style for the poster and I love it. Very Chic, perfect for the fall season!! We welcome her once again to Calendar Models the stunning, Miss Bracken:


Hi, My name is QueenBrat Bracken. I am thrilled to be chosen this month and first would like to thank the judges. I'd also like to thank Pam Astonia for taking my pictures.

I have been modeling in SL for 2 years. I work a lot ( too much according to my rl husband), having done over 170 shows to date. Recently, I had started becoming somewhat disillusioned and tired of modeling. However, winning this month has renewed my spirit. Also, I try to keep in mind that I am lucky to be able to find work and have made many great friends that I wouldn't have if not for modeling. The work can be long, the attitudes tough to deal with, but in the end I think you have to just try to remember to have fun and that your own positive attitude goes a long way.

Lastly, SL is an escape and a fantasy. I can explore my love of fashion and showing great clothes and do things that in real life I will never get to do. In my personal real life, my brother is serving our country in Afghanistan, and if it is ok, I'd like to request positive thoughts and prayers for his safe return.

Thank you again

Sensual Frenzy ~ Ms September 2011

Photographer Skip Staheli
Fashion by House of Beningborough "Water Dragon"







Sensual really won us over this month with her styling and use of color. Classic red on black really captured her beauty in this photo shot by Julie Hastings. New to SL modeling, the beautiful Miss Frenzy:


First thank you all so much for selecting me as Miss September, I am new to modelling and this is all very exciting for me and being Miss September will be a huge stepping stone in my modelling career.
I first came to SL in 2006, done a lot of exploring made lots of friends tried my hand at designing and then RL called and I did not venture back into this wonderful world until October 2010. After a few months finding my feet and seeing all the changes here, found a wonderful plot of land in Costa Rica Sims and picked up the modelling bug that is all around Costa Rica.

I have recently graduated from Maniera Academy that i would recommend to anyone that wishes to go to a modelling academy. At the academy one of my tutors Sazzy Oh recommended the Calendar Models of Sl Contest to enter, so I took her advice and sent my photo in it was so exciting watching my photo every week climb to the top of the board and i never dreamed that I would make it to the top photo.

At the moment I am not represented by any modelling agencies and will be going to my first casting next week, a year from now my dream would be to represent the UK in Miss Virtual World Contest, but I have a lot to learn before I reach that goal. Thank you again for selecting me as Miss September.

Caoimhe Lionheart ~ Ms August 2011

PHOTOGRAPHER: SKIP STAHELI

Caoimhe has been a constant at Calendar Models month after month showing us her amazing photos, styling and modeling. Today she is sharing a bit of her heart and I applaud her honesty. She reminds us that it is so much more rewarding in the giving and helping of people than in the taking.. Which one are you?

My name is Caoimhe Lionheart. I've lost my Second Life shine these days, not jaded, just resigned. Second Life is filled with so many self-serving people. Them aside, the beautifully kind, intelligent people are the ones I am drawn to. I feel it's incredibly special and unique on the occasions that I meet someone who is sincere in nature, kind to the bone and their beauty shines from within. Now those people, and I have met a few, they are the reason Second Life is uniquely wonderful and special to me.

I am a prankster and a gad about. I love to laugh and create fun. I enter contests to show off the abilities of the photographer or clothes I am wearing, not for the pursuit of the win and I always enjoy a good chat. Thanks for the read, perhaps one day you too will be a friend. =)

Caoimhe Lionheart is a Finesmith Muse, the 2011 Essence of Purple Moon and the 2011 representative of South Korea in the Miss Virtual World pageant. She has agency with So Evane, Passion the Fashion Agency, Elegancia, D'ior, Outrageous Glamour and 5th Avenue Models.

Michela Benazzi ~ Ms July 2011

Fashion Design by Agnes Finney titled "Queen Victoria"
Photographer Skip Staheli

I am very happy and honored to feature Michela as July's model of the month. Not only is she an expert model and stylist but also a true friend!! Here she is in her own words:

Many describe me as a confident, fun, and an energetic individual always willing to go the extra mile. Yet outside of SL I am disabled and a United States Army veteran. I love the opportunity to branch out into this virtual field that has opened many doors for me in real life too. Initially I wanted to expand my graphic arts background. As I entered Second Life, I centered my focus on photography. It was one of my photos that won my first opportunity to walk the runway inworld. It was January 2008 and an untrained modeling photographer was given a chance by Sascha Frangilli to walk the runway that would begin a journey like no other.

Many classes, contests and shows later I am blessed to have worked with many top designers and be represented by several elite agencies. I have formed wonderful friendships that span the globe. Just last month I was choosen to represent the USA in the 2012 Miss Virtual World contest. On top of winning Calendar Model for the month of July, it just all seems so surreal. A dream come true, representing the USA, my homeland, the land of the free and brave. It is an honor, and I am humbled as I will give my all to make America proud.

Here she is, beautiful Catlyn:

It is such an honor to be picked as the Calendar Model of June. It was a hard competition and everyone looked stunning.

Everyone that has come in my life while I have been a model has supported me and helped me. I'm still learning more about myself and what I love to do here in SL. I love fashion and I love modeling. Without my friends and my family here in SL I would never be able to be who I am and where I have been and where I am going.

Thank you all so much for the honor and I wish everyone the best in whatever they go to accomplish.

Hello I am Carley Benazzi and I live in Texas,

Fashion is to me an expression of owns ideas and creativity. Over the years since beginning on this fantastic journey through SecondLife I have been fortunate enough to have run into many wonderful and creative people .Everyone I have run across has been an inspiration to explore new ideas, and I hope to continue to learn even more from each new person I encounter.

Fashion in SL has allowed me to express my dreams of fashion design and modeling. I
am a model , a trainer and cheerleader for the GC Redskins.
But most of all I want to acknowledge every amazing friend I have met in Secondlife. I treasure each moment I am afforded with the wonderful people here.

CottonCandy Teardrop ~ Ms April 2011

Photography by Skip Staheli
Design by: Vita's Boudoir

CottonCandy makes a Grand Entrance into the SL modeling world! Simply stunning this this spring fashion, the beautiful Ms Teardrop:


Hi I'm CottonCandy Teardrop and I'm from the Missouri..

I've been in SL since Oct 2008. I DJ'd prior to coming to sl so when I started it seemed natural that I would DJ here as well. After DJ'ing for a few months a friend asked me to help manage her clubs for her so for the first few years here that was what I did. In 2010 I became a DJ for BOSL Radio.. it was then that I really became aware of modeling. In November I attended and graduated from MVW Modeling Accademy and was "bitten" by the modeling bug. In an effort to learn everything I could I then attented MBMA and graduated In January 2011. I then was invited to Passion Fashion Accademy by Leandra Breen which i just graduated from April 2, 2011. In a year I hope to be able to mentor other models as so many have done for me. To just enjoy every new experience and pass on any knowledge I have obtain to others so hopefully their modeling experience will be just as enjoyable as mine have been.

Even though I am pretty new to modeling I have to say I really love it. It gives me an excuse to shop which I love to do. I love how limitless the boundaries are for fashion here. The ability to do things with designs that would really not be possible in the real life amaze me. But the thing that has come to mean the most to me is the feeling of "sisterhood" I have felt with several other amazing models. I know I would have never made it this far without them. Also the advice and the support I have received from Teachers and Models with way more experience then I have has really been overwelming. I learn something new from them every day. Of course I can't forget the photographers who have put their heart and soul into the pictures they have created for me either. Thanks to all of you.. You have made my modeling experiences on SL so incredible.

Last but certainly not least, becoming a Calendar Model is really such a priviledge and honor for me. To be listed amoung other winners really humbles me. Thank you so much!

The beautiful and talented Federica whom I so envy for her expert styling, Ms Galtier:


Hello I am Federica Galtier and I am from the Eastern United States.

As a little girl I always dreamed of growing up and becoming a model and I am finally living out my dream in the fashion world of SL. I have appeared in BOSL Magazine, RADAR, Avenue, TooSexy and Scruplz for various ads and articles and I have had the honor of walking in shows for some of the best designers on the grid.
I love how fashion in SL knows no boundaries and that the possibilities are endless. In SL you can look however you want one day and the next you can look totally different. For me SL fashion has given me a creative outlet to express my dreams through modeling, styling, and writing, teaching and even cheering for the Puckettes.
I am a graduate of Avenue Academy, MBMA and Miss Virtual World Academy. I am currently the director of Opium Elite Fashion Academy. I really love working with new models that have the same dreams and aspirations as I have. Being able to meet them and help them achieve their dreams is so very fulfilling.
SL has become a very important part of my life one that has allowed me to live my dreams and to meet some amazing people. Two things I would never been able to achieve without SecondLife.

Anna Sapphire ~ Ms February 2011

PHOTOGRAPHY BY SKIP STAHELI
FASHION BY SON!A "VALENTINES BOUQUET"

The one thing that strikes me the most about Anna is her incredible beauty. There are not to many models in SL that can pull off a stunning "Blonde Bombshell" look but she has done it to perfection. No doubt, this model will go a long way in SL and we wish her all the best..The beautiful Miss Sapphire:

My name is Anna Sapphire and I come from Italy.

In SecondLife I have found the perfect environment to develop my interests for everything that is fashion related. I'm a model, a teacher, a stylist, a manager, a blogger and a shape designer.

My goal in Second Life is to learn as much as possible and to cultivate my interests having fun.
Fashion and art are my passions in every life and I really love what I'm doing. I think that this is very important because if we love what we do our love and happiness are shown and contagious.

Fashion for me is a beautiful kind of art, a way to express our feelings and emotions, a wonderful way to leave our mind free to create what nature and beauty inspire. A way to share our inner self and our creative fantasy.

I see myself as a creative person, always willing to learn and improve herself, always knowing herself more every day.
I'm a little shy but very friendly, helpful, kind and always extremely professional. I'm strongly persuaded that professionalism and respect are essential in every life.

I graduated in the best modeling academies of SL: AVENUE Models Academy, GLANCE Models Academy, EVANE Models Academy, EIMA Academy and MVW Modeling Academy.

I'm proud to be AVENUE model, BESTYLE DISTRICT AGENCY supermodel, OPIUM FASHION AGENCY top model, DEJA VU INTERNATIONAL model, EVANE model, ASYMETRIQUE model, ELEGANCE INTERNATIONAL model. I love runway modeling and I did more then 30 fashion shows.

I'm also representing some great designers as DD STYLE (top model and manager), MEB (top model), AIMESI (top model), GEMS & KISSES (royal gem), HOUSE OF BENINGBOROUGH and sYs DESIGN model.

I love to do print and photo modeling and I'm currently affiliated with ASYMETRIQUE MODELS, DEJA VU MAGAZINE, HELP! MAGAZINE, AIMESI MAGAZINE. I was honoured to model for ad and vendors of MANDALA, ANGEL DESSOUS, DD STYLE, ESHI OTAWARA, GEMS & KISSES, NEMESIS and WHITE WIDOW.

My past experiences include teaching (for UEMA academy), styling (for Fashion Institute), and modeling for some agencies (PROJECT SOLO DUE top model, LUXURY top model, FSC AGENCY top model, UEMA top model, EMA model) and designer (ALATIEL FASHIONS top model).

I feel so honoured to be Miss February 2011, thank you very much Calendar Models!

MODEL OF THE YEAR 2011 ~ JADE SPECTRE

PHOTOGRAPHY BY SKIP STAHELI

Calendar Models of SL is pleased to announce our new Model of the Year, the stunning Miss Jade Spectre. I met Jade about a year ago when we attended school at Mimmi Boa's Modeling Academy. She has come along way since then and appears on many ads for top designers around SL and is a frequent on the runways of SL. The photo was taken by one of SL's top photographers Skip Staheli, this photo is just absolutely WOW ...We welcome her to Calendar Models of SL, the beautiful Jade...


My name is Jade Spectre

I am from the Southern United States and of creole origins. I was born in Second Life on 08/13/2005. As you can imagine, after being in Second Life for 4 years, I have done just about everything possible in this wonderful virtual world. The one aspect of sl that has been a constant to me during these years, is my love for fashion. I love being up-to-date on the newest and best fashions, skins, hair, jewelry as well as exploring new sims and locations. I love the versatility and creativity that comes with achieving a new look for myself each and every day for any occasion. My passions in sl are keeping up with the latest and greatest designs and photography. Since my first day in sl back in 2005, I feel the designers have come a long way in creating new and exciting designs and they continue to progress and impress me. I can't think of a better way to express that passion and give due credit to the designers than modeling and flaunting those designs and being the best model I can be.

In November of 2009 I realized that I spent all of my time shopping and styling and that I could put my passion to use by modeling. So at that point I decided to persue an sl career in professional modeling. I have done online research and taken instruction to learn what it takes to be a successful model and have achieved the following so far in my endeavor:
