Returning back to my roots and the main reason I started this blog, to spread the word about contest and modeling opportunities. Well, I have tons to share and the best part, they are open to everyone……
We are on the hunt for the new Chop Zuey Girl.
Are you the next Chop Zuey Girl? Think you have what it takes?
The Chop Zuey Girl is Smart and Sexy, full of Life and Personality. Creative and Poetic – building her world around her as she likes it – yet keenly aware of the world as it is. Honest, Sympathetic and Kind to all, but you instinctively know she carries a sharp sword. You’ll find her in your Favourite Van Gogh Painting – for she is a work of art. Fun and Funny in one breathe, you are amazed at how swiftly her senses tune into razor-sharp perception and dead-on intuitiveness. Women love her as much as Men and she is absolutely the kind of Girl your mother would adore. Loves Chocolate but swears she is a vegan, Protector of animal rights, adores sensuous fabrics, she is both a Lover and a Fighter, a Romantic and a Realist. The Girl you love to love. Does she sound like you?

2.) Make your Chop Zuey Jewellery look great!. Also, don’t forget about the 3 P’s – Prim Placement Please. Watch the way the jewellery would move or fall according to your pose – i.e. if you head is tilted to the left then reason says your dangling earring will do the same. Show that to us in your photo.
3.) Photoshop is allowed, therefore take advantage of this to make your Photo look as profession as possible.
4.) Don’t waste your photo on body shots that are too far away. We want to see you and your jewellery. Do that in whatever creative way you see fit.

KASTLE ROCK COUTURE MODEL SEARCH 2013
Extended Deadline: July 31st at 11:59PM SLT
Taxi: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Grand%20Isle/82/99/24
Are YOU the new face of fashion?
Kastle Rock Couture established in Second Life in 2008 and has grown into a popular choice for quality womens daywear and formalwear. KRC prides itself on fun designs with class, elegance and style.
=============================
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
At this time, we seek a new team of fashion models to walk our latest designs down the runway! Finalists are offered a place in the lineup for our upcoming summer show currently postponed until late summer or early autumn, 2013. They will also be considered our official store models until our next competition,* utilized for possible print ads, events and future runway shows.** (not to be confused with our in-store models spinning around on a stand)
HOW TO ENTER:
=Join our Flickr group and submit an image to the group pool by July 31st at 11:59PM SLT http://www.flickr.com/groups/2263837@N22/
=In the description for your photo, put ONLY your avatar’s name. NO DISPLAY NAMES
=Contestant MUST be wearing Kastle Rock Couture clothing currently available in the store. (This means nothing out of the discount store or 4 year old designs no longer sold, etc)
Your image will be judged on 3 criteria:
-Artistic expression
-Avatar appearance
-Styling/representation of product
=Photos will have no writing or logos. A photographer’s “signature” is allowed in the corner if it is modest.
=No nudity.
Semi-Finalists will be chosen by a panel of 5 qualified judges from the fashion and modeling industry. These will advance to the runway phase of the competition. Semi-finalists will be scored on appearance/styling, posing and walking.
Finalists will receive clothing and store credit for Kastle Rock Couture and linden payments. Other incentives may be offered as well.
===========================
Please direct any questions to Uschi Darkrose via notecard. No IMs please.
===========================
*any finalist can be excused from this position by the designer and/or management. See below.
** Those chosen to fill the model positions understand they are not under contract. Available model work will be per diem and offered at the discretion of management. Either party may end the agreement at any time. You may accept work from other stores/agencies during this time.
NOTE FROM SPOOKY MISTWALLOW
Models, it seems, are the subjects of a lot of scams etc, so Spooky Mistwallow, owner/designer for Kastle Rock, has this to say to all candidates:
Models who are chosen to represent KRC will be given all new releases in all colors and will be paid in lindens and store credit for work done for the store, just like all other store employees. Finalists will be considered members of staff and modeling work will be offered to our model staff prior to hiring outside.
By saying the agreement can be terminated by either party at any time, what we mean is that you can quit and we can fire you. You will NOT be fired unless you are a real problem. Staff at Kastle Rock is treated very well and all current employees have remained at least 1 year. All past management still comes to visit and left KRC only for real life, never for another job or for mistreatment.
What we DO want are professional people dedicated to what they do. If you put your own agenda ahead of your commitments, if you are constantly late, miss appointments, live and breathe drama, are rude, crass, intolerant or just plain negative you have no place at Kastle Rock.

First, a big congrats goes to the team behind the SL Home & Garden Expo 2016 who raised $4,010,116L for Relay for Life of Second Life, benefitting the American Cancer Society. Second, a warm thank you to all my readers who supported the cause. The RFL-SL fundraising season continues with the 10th Anniversary Fashion for Life from March 6th-20th. This year the offerings are vast on nine sims with daily entertainment, fashion shows, $10L hunt, live auction and photo contest, all details here. If I have some free time this week, I’ll try to showcase some of the items but in the meantime please check out my nearest and dearest friend, Rhiannon Colclough blog, Fashion is Fun!
This coming Thursday will be St. Patrick’s Day and I’ve always marked the occasion with a holiday themed blog post. As I was looking through past entries, I noticed I’ve never featured outdoor decor. Today’s scene was created with Brook Hill Living, Park Place, Tylar’s Treasures, Serenity Styles, Sway’s, What Next and Chez Moi. I’m very excited to share with you a new home builder, Brook Hill Living who recently released the Waterfront Barn last week and the Chilmark House at the Expo. The Waterfront Barn is available in two version, shabby or posh with four dock options, two gazebos, and an open floor plan, available on the marketplace or in-world store.
Park Place Home Decor is currently participating in two monthly shopping events; Swank and Gacha Good. The Gold Plaid rattan patio set and Garden Chair Planters (gacha item) are offered at Gacha Good until March 31, 2016. Emerald Isla Garden Cart, Flower Basket (Pink & Red), Magazine Basket, and Purple Tulips in Twin Vase are available at Swank until April 1, 2016.
Tylar’s Treasures has the Nautica Collection on sale for 50% off at Perfect Ten (3/1-15/16). The Nautica Collection includes arbor bench and planter {first photo}, crate, wall decor, stool, table decor, and is texture change (4 options). Also available for 50% off at Perfect Ten are The Mustard Seed Willow Trees, Lunar Seasonal Designs Blooming Shamrock Basket & Planter and Dreamland Designs Riverside Rustic Bedroom Set {display inside}.
To finish the deck styling, I used Chez Moi new March group gift, the super fun and colorful Lemonade Stand. Touches of spring were added with Sway’s Hana Tulips in wooden bucket & rain boots, available at The Liaison Collaborative (3/7-3/30), and Floria Hanging Plants flanking the door. Whimsical Stone Garden Decor animals/insects {sleeping cat, ladybug, snail and frog} by Serenity Style add a humorous twist. Through the window we can see Serenity Style Ly One Way Set, available at Gen-Neutral (3/12-4/2). Finally, I added hints of shamrock decor with Free Bird horseshoe wall plank (free group gift), free lanterns I picked up at Swank Luck of the Irish event, and the lucky clover plant stand hunt gift from The Artist Shed (Poppin’ Penguin Hunts 3/1-31/16). Hope you have a great weekend and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Finally, I have some very exciting news to share with y’all. The SL Home & Garden Expo 2016 is hosting a photo contest with a prize package valued at $82,000L! But you need to hurry, the deadline is tomorrow night, March 4, 2016 at midnight. Details below, good luck!
