Flora Fegte ~ Ms October 2010

Beautiful Flora wearing a CM Original called "Timeless" here is Flora October's model..

My name is Flora Fegte. I have been a model in Second Life for about a year. I am graduate of F.A.M.E. Modeling Academy. I have participated in many modeling events. I have been in the JCNY Model Showcase since March of this year, and have recieved runner twice. I am Miss October for SL Fone and have recently recieved runner up for aDiva Couture's October Model. I also am a photographer, owner of Just Shoot Me Photography, where I am a sponsor of Best European Top Model.
This is a huge honor to win Calendar Models because it was the first modeling group I had ever joined. Since my joining the group, I quickly learned that many of those I looked up to in the modeling industry have won CM at some point in their journey. I take great pride in joining the winners circle.
I have had the pleasure of working with and around some of the most amazing people in Second Life. My goal is not to become "the best model in SL", but to be the best model I can be.

Love Fiertze ~ Ms August 2010

I hope one day to meet Love but Kimber had this to say about Love: "Love is truly a incredible talent as a model, designer, photographer and a person. She has the rare ability to style anything put to her and make it look like it just came out of the pages of VOGUE. She has been an inspiration to me and we are proud to have her as our model of the month!" And here she is in her own words, the lovely Ms Fiertze:

I am extremely exited to be chosen as a winner of Model of the Month for the August 2010 Contest. Thank you so much for this opportunity to express my self.
For many years I am fascinated with fashion. It is part of my life both in SL and RL because I love Art and Fashion Design.
When I first started I had my own understanding of style and beauty so I decided to try myself in the world of Fashion Modeling. I put a lot of effort to become as much professional as possible. I entered the Calendar Models of SL contest so many times but ones I decided step up my game, totally changing my whole look and that made a huge difference. My heard work and determination has been noticed. I always tried to use my creativity to beautifully accessorize the outfits that I represent. I value opinion of more experienced models, always listening to their advices. In time I have become experienced enough to give advise to other models. Hopefully, others will see what they can accomplish as long as they apply themselves and make an effort to learn, take criticism, and explore all of the fashion possibilities.
I am a live model for House of Beningborough and Designer of L+N Avant-Garde Hair.
I would like to use this opportunity to personally express my appreciation to Brandi Beleza and Kimber Kassner for this amazing contest, brgn Halberstam my partner for helping me to make those beautiful wining pictures. I am very proud to be able to participate in this wonderful Calendar Models of SL and I would like to wish every model Good Luck and enjoyment in this contest.

Love Fiertze.

Rissa Friller ~ Ms July 10

The lovely Rissa is wearing one of Calendar Models designs called "Seascape" for the month of July, and she looks stunning in it. Here is Rissa's bio in her own words:

I would first like to start off by saying what a huge honor it is for me to have been chosen Miss July 2010. I had started my journey in SL modeling back in October of 09' and to be a Calendar Model was one of my top goals. With that said, I firmly believe in persistance and dedication to your dreams and goals and never give up. I have had nothing but fun throughout my modeling career. I have met some of the most wonderful people and have learned so much by some of the top models in SL. I have graduated from GLANCE, EVANE, TnT, MPI, and Look Elite. I am proud to be a model for Gems & Kisses, Farouche, MA, Dejavogue, and MPI and I have also currently added instructor at Farouche to my resume. I love the fact that I can help out aspiring models who are just starting their adventure because I remember exactly what it was like to be in their shoes, and I can hope to try to give them good advice and guidence. I have participated in some amazing fashion shows getting a chance to show off the clothes of wonderful designers and I am also proud to say I have won a good amount of contests that I worked hard for in SL and am sooo proud to claim the title of Miss July Calendar Model!
I have to say I would like to see myself still modeling and teaching a year from now in SL and still having a blast doing it. Who knows, maybe eventually, even having my own school or agency. I would also love to get into Photography or designing too. I love that in SL, your options to your creativity is endless!

Ananya Mai ~ Ms June 10

The Beautiful Ananya! Skip captured her perfectly in this stunning summer photo. Ananya is wearing a design by Champagne called "Etreinte" Ms Mai...
Firstly thank you Brandi and Kimber for making Calendar Models of SL. It has been such an honour to be apart of this group and experience.

I first landed in SL on the 26th day of April 2008. For a year, I pretty much cruised sims, floated around as a fairy and pretty much bought the shapes and skins of many different sizes shapes and species. However, one day I met this amazing “neko” and lets just say he ended up tping through my laptop! We were married in RL on 10 October 2009!

I love the fashion industry in SL. It blows me away, everytime I check the fashion blogs or tp into one of my favourite stores or a newly discovered store I get butterflies. The feel of the outfits, the movement of the pieces really takes me to another place. This is one of many reasons why I am honoured to be here right now. My goal is to learn and grow as much as I can in this industry and even one day organise fashion shows for aspiring Australian Models (waking at at 2am kills me everytime!). I would also love to develop and maintain invaluable networks and also be part of the most exciting community in SL.

Some of my hobbies are catcing up with friends, visiting beautiful sims (love Kowloon and Pixel Mode), getting my photo taken. shopping, hunts, SL surfing, and meeting new people.

I previously won the JCNY Model Fest January 2010, came second in the Face of Beningborough 2010, finalist in Miss Summer SuperElite, second runner up in May 2010 Lingirie Angel Dessous and yayyyy Ms June for Calendar Girls of SL. I recently graduated from the CWS Modelling Academy and I am currently enrolled at Glance Academy and enrolled at MVW Academy.

I love and respect all SL creators. all them.. that includes those that dont create objects.. every person that contribute to this amazing SL experience has my vote!! This said, naturally my heart belongs to all SL designers.. as they fill my inventory with joy and my rl purse with sadness lol

Glitter Bolissima~Ms May 10

This incredible photo taken by Skip Staheli of our model of the month for May the lovely Glitter Bolissima wearing Diram's "Beyonce." Beautiful!!

I am honored to have been chosen as your Ms. May Calendar Model. I have been modeling for over a year now in SL. Shortly after graduating SuperElite Academy along with their Elite course, I was crowned Ms. SL International and my career took off from there. I have worked as a print, runway and magazine model as well as live, commercial and video modeling. I take great pride in modeling and have fun at with it at the same time.

I am the Director of Catalyst of Fantasy's Modeling Academy and I also train there. CoF is all about modeling with edge and I love teaching and mentoring. I mentor a handful of new models as well as some older ones too *smiles*

I love fashion in RL as well as SL. I take great care and pride with my appearance and keep up to date in skin, hair and clothing. Again, I thank you for the chosen spot of your Ms. May Calendar Model.

Serene Faith~Ms April 10

Serene Faith wowed the judges this month with her incredible looks and photographs!! What can I say about Serene? To know her is to love her!! One of the sweetest models I have met.. beautiful, bubbly and gracious here is Ms Faith:

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I still can't believe it...:) I am truly honored to be Miss April. My deepest and sincerest thank you to everyone!!!

I began modeling in September of 2009 and it has been nothing but one wonderful experience after another. I've met so many wonderful models, photographers, designers, and teachers, and I'm so honored that I can work with each one of them. My model training began with MPI and JCNY ModelCase. I learned so much in class as well as on the runway. I've entered several contests and though I never won, I always gained something precious, friendship, knowledge or simply a great time:)

To deepen my knowledge of SL modeling and fashion to the next level, I enrolled to SuperElite and Miss Virtual World Academy. Little by little, I was able to grow as a model and as a person, and today, I am represented by Farouche, InfiniteFocus, DeJaVogue, F.A.M.E., and Agata Modeling Agency.

The most important thing is never to forget to have fun and never give up. I know it's very difficult when rejections are more common than a win or acceptance, but if you really really want it and enjoy it at the same time, then never give up:) We can always evolve and become better:)

I still have so much to learn and so many things I want to do. But I would not been able to be where I am today without all the help I've received from so many wonderful people. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped me: Skip Staheli, for the wonderful pictures, Talyia Tarber, Kay Fairey, Miaa Rebane, Sora Tatham, Marry Eel, Rena Vita, Melancholia Roux, and Jinx DuCasse for always helping me with styling and to become a better model, and Lotus Lorakeet, Tak Kovacs, and Blue Barski for your constant support.

And lastly, thank you CalendarModels for providing such a wonderful opportunity for both new and experienced models to compete professionally and a place for us to become better models.

Thank you,
Serene
