I came to سیکنڈ Life on December the 14th in 2009 with the help of a friend in Real Life and I wasn't really sure what to expect but I never thought I'd get this far and even though I didn't know much about SL to begin with I was sure of one thing and that is SL is not a game it is an amazing virtual world and there are real people behind these avatars that we create.
I chose the name Pandora because of my love for the movie Avatar and I wanted to make my avatar very special and unique. I was surprised at all of the things one could buy, skins, hair, eyes, shapes, clothes, animations, the فہرست was endless.
Finding shapes that I could demo was harder when I first started in SL and so I made a lot of bad choices and it took a while to find the look I was searching for but eventually Pandora developed her own style.
Being comfortable in who آپ are can be سیکنڈ nature both in RL and SL and the idea of changing Pandora's look in any way was no exception, she wore the same skin and hair every دن and clothes were the only thing I allowed myself to change with her. I refused to alter this extension of myself in any way.
After two months یا so I decided to experiment with dancing in SL and so I worked in a club as a dancer and manager, it was a good experience and it taught me about ways to improve my style as well as buying clothes of better quality.
I had other SL interests and developed a fascination for virtual animals, after some searching I found Jack and Benji, my two house dogs but I wanted animals that were مزید interactive, so I got Max my Virtual Kennel Club German Shepherd and started doing training classes with him at The VKC Dog Park. Then Candy joined my family a cute Persian kitten from Auto Intelligent Friends.
I spent most of my time decorating. I bought a skybox for myself and a house for the animals. I had fun entertaining friends, shopping and exploring. I am not into any form of Role Play however I bought a Navi avatar and a Demoness one for something different, my پسندیدہ pastime was changing into a Mermaid occasionally and visiting some truly beautiful sims.
I am very much a perfectionist in RL and SL and so I wanted to expand more. I was no longer working at the club and wasn't sure what to try next. I had seen SL models in رن وے fashion shows on YouTube and I found it quiet amazing.
I had experienced the art of photography in SL and had a lot of تصاویر taken for my پروفائل which I update on a regular basis, a پروفائل can speak volumes about who آپ are, your likes and dislikes, do's and don'ts and what آپ want to gain from your SL to me a well written پروفائل is important.
A wonderful friend who knew of my curiosity for modeling gave me an application for Model Pages International, it required some basic information and two تصاویر of my avatar. I filled out the application and pretty much forgot about it because I really didn't think that I'd have what it takes to be an SL model.
I was contacted two weeks later and informed that I had been accepted into MPI's modeling class. I was دیا a فہرست of requirements and duties to complete before the start of the term and so I made myself busy doing everything as quickly as I could.
My instructors were great, they taught me how to walk the runway, the importance of editing and selecting poses amongst other things, sorting out my inventory for the first time was a nightmare, it's a lot like cleaning out your RL wardrobe but worse. I must have trashed at least three thousand unwanted items and saved outfits that I no longer used the first time I did it, so I made it an ongoing job to keep my inventory free of any clutter.
I had started on getting my first model پورٹ فولیو done which is also very important. The photoshoot took about six hours and was a lot of fun, for the first time I was trying different skins and hair, something I would never have considered doing before.
The 25th of January 2011 was my graduation دن at MPI and I had to style one casual and one formal outfit for the runway, there were four of us graduating and it was very nerve wracking. I received my certificate of graduation a week later and felt very proud of myself. I was determined to learn more.
A few weeks later I went into مزید training with Le Charmed Fashion Agency. I did my first رن وے fashion دکھائیں for Model Agency Baxton on the 30th of April 2011 and I went into training with them also.
I work as a live in-store model at Bootgasm Boot Store and I have done print work for Petite Amie Idols and ad print work for Petite Amie Fashions. I am مزید than happy with my SL achievements and I fully intend to go as far as this will take me.
Some people don't understand why I have a passion for modeling in SL and to them SL is all about hanging out with دوستوں and having fun. I still have time to do all that but I chose to apply myself to something that I love and that helps me evolve more.
I enjoy experimenting with accessories and clothes now, even changing skins and hair has become an ongoing and learning experience, at the end of the دن I am still me but modeling has helped me accept and embrace the changes I wasn't prepared to make before.
So if آپ don't really understand the concept of SL modeling then consider this. When آپ buy all of your beautiful clothes, hair, jewelry, skins, etc. think about the real people who work and spend a lot of their RL time to make your SL a better place.
And think of the models who are the designers mannequins, they also work hard to present these designs to the people of SL. It's not about glamour for me, it is a part of who I am in SL and SL is about being whoever and whatever آپ choose to be, it's the fantasy that آپ can make a reality.
