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.

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

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!
