FASHION & POETRY: “Hope” by Emily Dickinson Starring RicoRacer Flux

MODEL & PHOTOGRAPHER: RicoRacer FLux

FASHION: I absolutely LOVE this gold sexy shorts from Champagne! Sparkling fashions. The texture just shines and they come in many colors. The”package” looks realistic and the bow string adds a nice touch. I think it looks great wearing it to the beach or to the clubs. It has versatility. This is my very favorite boots from REDGRAVE. There are so many amazing little details; I really love the buckles. The texture just screamed expensive Italian leather. Jewelry is from GABRIELS, Takuya Jinn is just amazing with jewelry and clothing. Hair is from MADesigns which completes the look of total masculinity. =p

INFO: I am learning the very basic Photoshop right now and this picture is my very first attempt. It is basically just Trial and Error. LOL. I wish I have someone to show me the ropes. Oh well. Anyway, I am so proud of it. =D Yay!

POEM: HOPE

POET: Emily Dickenson

“HOPE”

“Hope” is the thing with feathers—
That perches in the soul—
And sings the tune without the words—
And never stops—at all—

And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard—
And sore must be the storm—
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm—

I’ve heard it in the chillest land—
And on the strangest Sea—
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb—of Me.

Poem by Emily Dickinson

RicoRacer Flux’s “The Journey”: I’m really excited this week because I made it as a Finalist for the MAD Agency Model Search.  There are so many talented models on the list competing and I am nervous. I need to bring out my inner styling guru again and hopefully gain a spot in the agency. If not, I am always grateful for the opportunity and will try again next time. I hope they will understand my styling. I tend to go for flashy unique couture even for a male model. LOL. Think Alexander McQueen. This should be fun. =)  CONGRATULATIONS to all the finalist and Good Luck.

CSLTM Model Call ~ Summer 2010

Good morning.   Well, it’s morning for me.  Tuesday at 1:58 am and I just finished the pictures.  Now I know I’m late, and I apologize.  For one, I found out that the Cool Viewer sucks for taking pictures.  So, ya, I’m not doing that again.   And on that note, it took me so long to finish because I had to rebuild the pictures. *passes out*

Now, my friend Ethan Haalan wanted to come by and watch.   Little did I know that he was secretly doing a video while we worked. So to all the models, congrats you are also in our first ever commercial!  😀  There are two versions which you can see here:

1. CSLTM Summer 2010 Commercial (30 second version)
2. CSLTM Summer 2010 Commercial (2 minute version)

And now, without further adieu, here are the wonderfully talented models for CSLTM Summer 2010 showing off their styling talents.   And as part of this, a styling card is included so you can run and grab all the great designs showcased.

A special thank you to all designers and creators of Second Life.  With out you we would be naked and living on beach. Ummmm….nevermind (Jen Tafler shuts her mouth).

FASHION & MUSIC: Judy Garland’s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” Starring RicoRacer Flux

MODEL: RicoRacer Flux

PHOTOGRAPHER: Talyia Tarber

FASHION: The open short sleeved shirt is from Roosters called Cowboy’s Open Up Shirt. I love the plaid patterns and the details like the pockets and the buttons are wonderful. This open shirt is masculine and sexy. It is perfect for a day in the country or a relaxing walk in the park. The dark blue skinny jeans is from Dream Box. I love the texture and the prim cuffs. For me, jeans must have prim cuffs. It simply adds quality. Hair is from MADesigns. This awesome lock is always in place even in a tornado. Even though I’m missing my ruby slippers, I love this look of relaxed sexiness. =)

Shirt: Rooster’s Open Cowboy Shirt

Jeans: Dreambox’s Dark Blue Jeans with Prims Cuffs

Hair: MADesigns

LYRICS:

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There’s a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can’t I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can’t I?

RicoRacer Flux’s “The Journey”: Today is my interview for Mister Virtual World and I feel sick. =( OMG, my allergies are acting up. I took Benadryl and it just made me so groggy and out of it. Anyway, I am so nervous about the Live Interview part because I consider it my weakest point. I can style superbly and model perfectly but I have trouble answering tough questions on demand in front of a live audience. Unfortunately, there’s nothing I can do to prepare for it. I absolutely have no idea what questions they are going to ask. I just have to be myself and answer the questions the best I can sincerely. I am very excited though to wear a special design made for me from Donna Flora for this interview. It is a tan business suit that is simply amazing. Wish me luck! The good news is that after this interview, the fun part starts. =) I cannot wait to see my formal wear and swimwear and style them. I am getting nervous because the competition is fast approaching and I hope I don’t have to compete naked ‘cuz my outfits are not done. LOL. But I have complete faith in the designers to deliver. They are the best.

“Gotta Have It”

We are in the middle of winter here in Chicago where freezing temperatures below zero and snow storms are the normal. Oh, How I wish it to be summer again where I can lay on the beach or enjoy a stroll on the boardwalk. Lucky for me that my dreams can be made into reality here in Second Life. =D

So, where else would I be but at the Cuban Beach in SL being seen in this totally awesome and colorful swimwear by Armidi. The colors of mixed yellow and orange are vibrant that enchanced the geometric triangular patterns printed on this fantastic looking swimwear. To make sure all the focus are not mainly on my shorts, I balanced the top with an equally vibrant summer scarf from a.C. CheerNo Designs and sunglasses perfectly positioned in my head by Role. Fabulous, Isnt it? Eat your heart out, Winter. This is my “Gotta Have It” outfit.

MODEL: RicoRacer Flux
