•••if you can tp over to my store in PLUSH LAMBDA, AND IF YOU REZ, YOU'LL SEE THE BOX IN THE CENTER OF THE SHOP WITH THE FULL RULES!!!•••

christina rocks!!! must watch this

well what does this have to do with fashion??? well, just look at her... fashion perfection, hair, makeup, suit, OMG... what class... but is that why i'm posting this???

NO!!!

YOU MUST SEE THIS PERFOMANCE... this was from the recent grammy's... it knocked my socks off, moved me, and just made me so excited to see artists who not only have the TALENT...

BUT THE GUTS TO GET DANGEROUS AND POUR THEIR HEART AND SOUL INTO THEIR WORK...

i just can't tell you how much this moved me... i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE when artists (in any medium) give their all, take risks, and even though she hits a little "off note" one can't deny the amazing passion in this performance.

how i wish more artists did this... gutsy, amazing, and more.

it's inspired me to just go for it more in my work, RL and SL... and I HAD to share it with you all...

hope you enjoy.

xoxo,

••• the AVASTAR & caLLie cLine •••

I'm very excited to announce that I will be writing a weekly post for the "wonderful, exciting, fun, informative, and one of the coolest weekly publications in SL", the AVASTAR!!! www.the-avastar.com

At only 8 weeks old, the paper has over 60,000 readers already!!! The build is great, and I honestly could not be more excited. I've wanted to write for awhile, a little weekly thing, and this turned out to be a great match! I can write about whatever I want (to do with fashion) and so expect something different every week. From tips, new cool finds, mini-inteviews, secrets (shhhhh), makeovers and more, there should be something for all.

If you have any cool ideas, please shoot them my way... my column is yet to be named, but I have a few ideas ;)...

I really am excited to be working for such a cool and professional team and honored that this opportunity came my way! Thank you Regis Braathens!!!

Again, if there are topics you'd like to see covered, no matter how silly they may sound, LET ME KNOW!!!

Have a great day!!!

xoxo,

caLLie

SL fashion on YOU TUBE!!! paper couture • caLLie cLine • simone

here's the link to the you tube clip from the iVilllage fashion show on monday. i hope you all like it, i think it's pretty cool and i like how forseti made it.... i saw a LOT more than i did that day! and yes, that's the REAL life arianna huffington wearing my "limted edition" serendipity grace gown (i still have a few left cuz when i made them i was new and thought 100 was a "small" number, hehe)

i was honored that arianna wanted me to dress her, lol, wow, how funny is that? i've "officially" dressed a celebrity, hehe, that's so funny cuz i always think of the oscars or grammy's and joan rivers asking ppl, "who are you wearing???" and then telling them how pretty they look, then ripping them apart later, hahaha.

but i won't do that cuz i think both arianna and cider starbrook looked "lovely" wearing "me" hahaha.

how funny, yes, in SL, you can be anything you want, even a designer who dresses "celebrities", hehe.

which brings to mind the first "celebrity" i ever met in SL, "celebrity trollop" at hair faire last year, when i was just starting out!!! she was there too and looking beautiful as always.

anyway, hope you all enjoy the clip..

xoxo,

caLLie

p.s. new stuff from the show will be released this week!!! yay! some in time for valentine's day!

iVillage Fashion Show ••• fun, festive, fabulouS!!!!

wow, all i can say is WHAT A WEEK!!! AND WHAT AN AWESOME SHOW THIS WAS!!! now that my jitters are over, and nerves are calmed, i wanted to take a moment to post some pics i was able to snap BEFORE i CRASHED!!

well, i don't know where to start... it was just overall an amazingly fun experience, exhausting and exciting!

i've posted the best pics i had, and there are also great pics on the second style blog, and the aspire blog... and links in the comments to even more pics. there is also a show review at www.secondlifeherald.com which is nice and has some great pics too.

i really enjoyed every design by my fellow designers who were showing, and i think what was cool was we all are so different in our styles and it was a great mix to see, from what i heard from the crowd, they agreed.

it was a lot of fun working with aspire on this, bianca darling, could NOT have been more wonderful to work with, same with the ivillage team, the level of professionalism was unprecidented, and i just can't say how enjoyable the entire experience was.

everyone, the models, desigers, builders, and hosts were just so gracious and fun to be with. i really count this as one of my SL highlights. and to see people showing up at 9am (sl time) (10 hours early) for a seat, added immensely to the excitement AND jitters!

here's a little collection of the photos i took... i regret not having any of simone's designs, which were so fun and lovely, but after crashing a few times, i was afraid to take another photo, so make sure to look at the above blogs to see her great stuff!!!

thanks to everyone who helped me prepare for this show... who encouraged me to do it, helped with ideas, pushed me, (i was super nervous) and who gave their support in so many ways... from flowers to kind notes, i can't tell you how much your support meant, so to, shane hornet, kiana dulce, tuli asturias, aradia dielli, bianca darling, ally geer, simone stern, cider starbrook, and my amazing customers who were so encouraging, thank you so much.

i'll be releasing my new outfits, shoes and accesories shown at this show very soon.

oh and a VERY SPECIAL THANKS to jackal ennui of "lassitude & ennui" for her amazing work and collaboration on my new monogram shoes, and jewelry, and a special thanks to livie galileo for her wonderful work on my new monogram boots. you both are wonderful.

enjoy the pics!!!

caLLie cLine @ iVillage mega FASHION SHOW during NYC fashion week!!!

when the people at iVillage, sponsors of the wonderful "Girls Night Out" program from iVillage's "LOFT" contacted me and asked me if I would be one of 3 designers to participate in their upcoming show, i couldn't help but say YES for a few reasons...

1. i LOVE the "iVillage" loft, and love love love the work they are doing inworld in getting women together for fun times, ok, "women bonding", and i love their approach.

2. the show's runway is on it's own sim for NO LAG, which means, people will actually SEE the clothing !!!! yay

3. i'm so bored with getting my sim ready to be opened, the motorati girlz project, the new tomboy store, and various other mundane things, that i HAVE NOTHING TO DO!!! (hahahah)

4. i get to share a stage with "paper couture" and "simone" OMG!!! how cool is that???

so here's a little picture from our first little impropmtu rehearsal with simone, bianca darling (owner of aspire magazine and modeling agency), and some of the gorgeous models!!! we had so much FUN just being girls, and working out little issues like, "what are we gonna wear???" hahahaha...





acutally, all of us are very excited and quite honored to be a part of this show...

you read the iVillage "official blog" announcement below, (link included) it's gonna be a GREAT event, so try and mark your calenders and make sure to stay tuned here, and there, and if you're in my group, you'll get an official invite. i'm guessing the show WILL be packed, and did i say that lots of RL and SL press are gonna be there????

it's so exciting!!!

can't wait to see you then...

xoxo,

caLLie

Fashion Extravaganza during the real life NYC Fashion Week!

Fashion stylists in LA, New York, London, Paris and beyond all agree that the coolest thing is to have your own unique style.

Little wonder then that Second Life has its own thriving fashion community. What with designer labels, shoes to die for, funky hairstyles, make-up for any occasion and accessories galore, female fashion designers in Second Life are creating quite a name for themselves.

To celebrate this union of creativity and personal style for all, iVillage is showcasing three top virtual clothing designers as part of their third in a series of Girls Night Out events. For the first time ever, this unique Fashion Extravaganza will occur during New York City's Fashion Week.

You'll be the first to see chic outfits from caLLie cLine, Simone! and the designs from Paper Couture - fashion delights that have captured the latest virtual fashion trends. Their stunning work will grace the iVillage catwalk on February 5th at 6 pm SL time or 9 pm PT. Just like a real life fashion show, iVillage's will be run by Second Life's most renowned Modeling Agency ASpiRE!

After the showcasing of their new fabulous fashion lines, residents will also have the opportunity to ask the designers questions. And as an iVillage's gift to you, each resident will walk away with a stylish Fashion Extravaganza Goodie Bag will hand-selected items from these extremely talented designers. There isn't a fashionista out there that could turn down an invite to such an exciting evening.

NYC Fashion week...eat your heart out. Get fashion forward and join us at iVillage's Fashion Extravaganza for the next in vogue Girls Night Out event!

caLLie cLine on the Champs-Élysées

when i was invited to choose my shop on the new "Champs-Élysées" in the new "paris 1900" sim, i was thrilled. with so many great locations, the "mayor" of paris, Chris Darke, encouraged me to choose the one by the Eifel Tower, (where people can jump, with a free parachute) and after an hour of wandering around, i finally took his suggestion!

i really love what they have done on this sim... the "moulin rouge" club is great and it even has the big "elephant" which you can go into and it's a funky "smoking" room.

there is a museum which will regularly showcase art, and the whole sim was dreamt up and built by RL french residents!!!

it's well worth a visit and i'm excited to have been invited to have a shop. it's quite an honor and i want to show you a picture of it!!!

modeling for the FIRST time for me, is my lovely SL daughter, Aradia Dielli... we even sorta look alike, hehe... if you get a chance it's a great fun place to visit, and if you speak french or want to meet french people, it's most certainly a place to go... oh i just learned, "hello" is "salut"

hehe...

xoxo,
