PICTURE PLAYING

Sorry have not been doing much on here just overloaded. Had a small break and have been playing with Gimp, trying to figure out how they do the backgrounds. Well, guess what?? Let you see, sec

The last one down is what I started with, then next up added a canvas filter, and the finished changed the color balance. Not to bad for a first timer. Watched this movie I found on utube about 20 zillion times, wow was it fast. But finally figured it out. Will post this and see how it looks, and will do more. There is more actually since I learned about pages. You just have to look.

Announcing

On my continuing journey at UCWS as part of my home work I had to announce at a styling event.
If you've followed my blog you know I've attended some of these on stage and all that is involved.
Tonight being on the other side was a whole new experience that gave me an insight into what goes on. WOW...........................
I'm not telling ;-)
I suppose after the announcer has did this a few times is lots easier. And I hope I did a good job. Will find out later. Took a couple of pictures, one of me long before the show. I changed my wind light settings and took these pictures, also did some editing on them since I'm learning that also.

This is me

I edited this on the colors and sharpened the image some. Also took these of the winners

The second is cropped from the first. Not bad eh?  ;-) Well I like them.
Oh, the winners

I had a sorta kinda class today. The outfit I thought was for today wasn't. So will have to post that later. But I was sitting in the classroom waiting and SL had something that they needed to get fixed. I thought it was me so logged out. Opps...Couldn't get logged back in. So waited and waited and finally was able to. Just as I was deciding on what to do I get an IM. Part of my class work. What I did was try and help explain what goes on at the free styling events that CWS has. I kinda ad-libbed but got through it. At least the girls that showed up seemed to understand. Then team practice. Then the styling theme, and now here we are. Going to post a picture I took and yes it's for class, but like I said before might be a little bit way outside the box, but was fun

Going to go now so hope you enjoyed reading this. As always,

Class

                                              SIMON

She liked my outfit ;=)
Oh, thought I'd mention. I'm in another class that is more about blogging. So up above or just below LoL my profile picture are buttons. You can click on these and see my other pages. Also if you see names of designers or CWS you can click on these and it will open up a map in another tab for you to show where it is in SL. Fancy eh? (Don't click on 'LiL', that's this one :))  Learned it last week ;=) actually learned so much last week I think my brain is numb. I counted and I put together 18 outfits, before I ended up with the ones I was happy with. Have another class tomorrow and I may have went to far out of the box on this one. But my little pixel feet are fast.  Will keep you posted.

Schools back in

Started Advanced Class, I think. Well really I did since I had homework for next week. Learning more about the modeling world in SL. This was my homework;

No not the pictures LoL...the outfit, hair, poses makeup, jewelry. Will find out next week if I did okay. This is just one of two for next week. Not the outfit, another instructor and different things. Will have to figure out that when I get there. The above is for a Haute Couture look. Like I would be doing a run way show in Paris. This is a Versace gown created in SL. It's also Mesh so a bit different then what I'm used to wearing. But I think it looks very nice. Now just have to convince my instructor it does...you know Simon ;-)   Went with a lighter skin here a touch of blush and a dark lipstick.
Will let you know how it goes.
as always cookie kisses,

Graduation Day

                                                I DID IT

Was a long day for all involved.  A couple of the Instructor's and Anrol were there to help us get ready for the 1pm slt ceremony that took place. Which was a good thing as it was changed a bit from what we had first practiced.  And things were added. So was like getting ready for a show with lots of last minute changes. But as one Instructor told me 'your a model, make it work'. Good advice. 
We started at about 11 slt getting ready and by the time the after party was over I have no idea. 
We each came out one at a time, did what we needed to do and then exited. Anrol read our bio's while we were posing before the audience. I think I need to work on mine some. 
We came out again one at a time and posed on stage with flowers, we were given by Anrol

That's me with mine. I also got my diploma and this is it

Much to my surprise there were two winners one for blogging and one for class Valedictorian. After waiting for what seemed like forever guess what? It was me. It's hard to take a picture of yourself while your in a show so I went back later and took two more

I have a few other pictures I'll post along with these, some are us practicing, waiting to go on stage and on stage.
For me this was thrilling. I'd have to say one of my most wonderous (that is a word, look it up LoL) experiences in SL. Thank you Anrol and Steve, my classmates and those instructors that taught me both by teaching, helping and criticizing me. Along with my thanks are my congratulations to all who graduated with me. You inspired me to do better.

If you follow this link http://classicwstyleuniversityofmodeling.blogspot.ca/ you can see who all my Instructor's were, Anrol and Steve, my classmates and my schedule. 
Oh..I won a scholarship to advanced class, so more to come, hard work. 
Thank you for following my journey at UCWS. as always,
