A New Agency

It seems all my nerves a week or so ago over this casting worked in my favor.  As of last night, I am now a member of the Regal Agency.  This agency is brand new, so we'll see how things go.  I've worked with one of the principals before, but don't know the others, so there's always a bit of getting used to new personalities before an agency really settles into its own rhythm.

I've been giving some consideration to fashion blogging, although what I see in most fashion blogs is little more than a photo or two and a styling card.  I tend to be a bit more verbose than that, and rather enjoy sitting here writing out my thoughts, wherever they take me.  Sure, I write mostly for myself, given I haven't got any followers but one, but that's ok too.  I can still look back and see where I was, and where I am, and if I can remember the account name and passwords for this blog, I might manage to write something more than once a week.

Jumping Back In

So I've been away for a few years.  Not really away ... I've still been in SL, still working for Mohna Lisa, which I have loved doing for over four years now, still doing the occasional runway show, mostly charity shows and the occasional event, but RL required that I step away from the nonstop hustle of casting calls, rehearsals and shows multiple times per week. 

Now that things have settled some, I'm finding myself yearning to get back into the swing of things.  Fashion shows have changed some since I've been away, but in many ways it's still the same.  I'm still a basket case of nerves when attending a casting, as I learned this past weekend.  Nerves make me do things like hit buttons by mistake - little things I call "finger flubs."  Oh, well, life goes on, right?  Funny thing, nerves.  Castings make me crazy, but when it's showtime I'm as relaxed as can be.

I fought tooth and nail not to get dragged into the world of mesh body parts, and I swore I would never change my face all those years ago.  I liked my face.  Fast forward to 2014, and not only do I have mesh hands and feet (which I love and I'm so addicted to slink shoes and nails it's not even funny), but I actually altered my face!  Gasp!

Anyway... I'm looking forward to being more active as a model, and who knows?  Maybe I'll do a bit of fashion blogging.  Fair warning, however, I'm a horrible photographer.  :)

All that said... here's the old me: 

And here's the new me:
