cocobean bonneto - "cc model-of-the-month" for august

every month it's so difficult to choose a model to represent my brand... yet every month i am more excited when i meet the girls who were chosen. beauty is only skin deep and i've always believed in doing more than "making pixels pretty™" and in a world like secondlife, sometimes is harder to reflect the inner beauty we all have. when you come across a person who reflects both, it's a wonderful experience and that's why i'm proud to say that cocobean bonneto is the "caLLie cLine modeL-of-the-month" for august. from her entry photos to the authenticity in her words to the total professionalism and warmhearted nature, when i met her and we did her shoot on voice, she was all she represented herself to be and more.




we had a great time at the rezzable "black swan" sim where she wore "swan song" and danced on the water in the mist and setting sun while the whale made its rounds in the azure waters surrounding us... it was a magical time and we had a blast.
i was so happy to hear that coco had received a "ton" of im's congratulating her from her friends and other girls in the search. it's that kind of news that makes me really happy as i know there are so many "contests" but only one who gets "chosen". i do however believe if we see things in a broader sense we can share in the "joy" of winning, as coco's friends did with her.

i think she looks like a young elizabeth taylor and couldn't help but wonder if elizabeth were young now, and in SL as an avatar if she might dance on water and enjoy the glow of the black swan skies...

thank you coco, you were truly lovely to work with!

xoxo,

caLLie

new FAT BELTS - by caLLie cLine

caLLie has finally packed up more of her "fat belts" and they are in the new shop as you walk in. there at 36 in all and come with gold or silver buckles and plain or embossed with flowers. perfect with almost any type of outfit. they are on the jacket and shirt layers (like the first series of caLLie's fat belts) so they fit perfectly! (no cutting through your avatar when you move)

caLLie's other belts are in the "wild room" of her shop which is next to the "pink room" and come in solid colors and animal print.

ENJOY!

a swan song & tears... a mini collection... 17 pieces

inspired by the rezzable sim, "black swan" caLLie created this collection of pieces from her experience of the sim. "what struck me most about the black swan sim was the glowing water, the whale that swims freely almost welcoming you, and the glow of the entire place which sets the stage for some of the most beautiful art i've seen in second life..." says caLLie. "the sim has the juxtaposition of hard ancient rocks, flowing serene waters, and a certain glow about it that's quite enchanting and evokes all sorts of feelings."





the ring, and circular orb pieces in caLLie's scupted mini skirt have "water" in them and the movement of those combined with the soft airy flow of the feather pieces creates a feeling of 2 worlds meeting. "i love the crushed velvet bodice, the soft feathers and the glow of all the 'water' pieces" says caLLie... and the specially made jewelry adds a spectacular touch which was yet another added plus in this experience...



"i was able to collaborate with nebulosus severine, an amazingly sweet, smart and very talented artist who created the earrings and necklaces and glowing eyes in this piece, we had a great time working and had one of those rare times where ideas and inspiration just flowed" says caLLie. "i've admired her work since i saw her exhibit at ARTHOLE, and found her very thoughtful in her execution of her ideas, it was an honor after admiring her for so long to actually work with her!" will there be more in the future? "i think so!" caLLie says as she smiles. (she's also an amazing photographer, builder, etc.)





the 3 week event began with a packed fashion show and caLLie even opened the show modeling one of the pieces in this collection, "i love to do runway, and i don't get the chance very often, and this was a unique experience in that i got to not only model, but model one of my own pieces... it was great to share the runway with some of the models in SL i respect most."

here are a few photos of the collection... all 17 pieces can be used to create anything from "cyberglam" to "traditional", "period looks" to "club wear".... says caLLie "i played with all the pieces so much it was hard to even decide what to use for the ad, my hope is that each person who gets this collection can create their own "song" as they put together the pieces to suit their own mood."

the event runs until august 4th and there will be 2 more fashion shows showcasing this collection of work from SL designers including, caLLie, Sissy Pessoa, Kuranosuke Kamachi, Digit Darkes, Roslin Petion, Raven Pennyfeather, Rebel Hope, Nicky Ree, Eshi Otawara, Hyasynth Tiramisu & Draconic Lioncourt.

the sim is free to access, and a "feather" will gently glide you over the water and thru the warm blue skies to the area where "swan song" and other wonderful creations await you.

hope to catch you there...

dream, dream, dream....

i wrote a bit about my exhibit for SL5b... and ms. sassy scarborough made a nice little movie that sort of shows the exhibit... it was cool of her to do that and share it.

my exhibit is sort of a "dream" that begins in a Black and White bedroom with some cool SL things like a HUGE grim babie caLLie doll (small ones are there for free for all!) and has some early photos of me in SL, a journal entry describing how it felt to be in this crazy world... and how i was so scared to start making clothing as i could barely even GET dressed... i had 2 pixel dolls out fits and that was about it....

so the dream turns into color with a cool music soundtrack that's sorta mixed up songs i love sorta twisted and lots of visuals, some "nigthmare" elements, hehe, and anyway.. the theme is about an "ordinary girl in an extraordinary world"... how i have always felt in SL... and in RL for that matter really.

so anyway... i'm thankful for the opportunities SL has offered to us all and the creativity and pioneering spirit of my fellow residents is a constant source of inspiration... with that.. here's miss sassy's movie!
