A little over 6 months ago a starry-eyed noobie stepped from the Orientation Island into this wonderful world of SL. I had one dream that I wanted to fulfil: to be a clothing designer.
I had a couple of hitches - I didn't know anything and I didn't even know the first thing about Photoshop. Despite that & an increasingly hectic RL schedule, I managed to get a line of clothes out with noob-friendly prices. Thanks to a good friend I was able to finally get PS, and with his gentle pushing, got me to take the tutorials and get started learning how to take my designs to the next level.
There came a time when I was gonna throw in the towel, but my partner Ariel, my best friend Grey, and Fashion Diva and good friend Palomma urged me to NOT give up, and stay focused on my dream.
DoveVogue is something of a wonder. Palomma has an amazing group of talented models, designers and organizers. They provide a service to designers that when it all came together just BLEW ME AWAY!
Thank you ALL so very much for putting together the Runway Fashion Show of my DREAMS, and allowing me to share my designs with everyone in such an incredible atmosphere! I am inspired to keep on creating, and will again avail myself of the DV team's talents and services in the future.
A special THANK YOU to the incredible DV Models, who despite the incredibly HEAVY and impossible lag - kept going, didn't give up - and WORKED IT on that fabulous runway!! My stuff never looked so good and I thank you from the bottom of my heart
