The FACES of Moolto Winners.

MOOLTO’s official first contest was in search of a male and a female Second Life resident to become the NEW faces of Moolto. Over 250 SL residents have applied to be the Face and Spokesperson for Moolto.com. Over a period of two months, the contestants were tested on their beauty, brains, skills, personality and the ability to work under pressure. The 6,000 members of Moolto were encouraged to pick their favorites and they voted by the hundreds to make their voices count for 30% of the total score. Selected VIP judges scores tally up to 70% of the final score.

The search is over. Moolto has finally crowned the FACES of Moolto 2010: Mr. Moolto: RicoRacer Flux & Miss Moolto: Mina Pelazzi.

Mr. Moolto: RicoRacer Flux:

FASHION CALENDAR: The Face Of Moolto Finale 2/27 12 PM SLT

The Grand Final
Saturday 27th February will be the date of the final event at the Moolto.com sim. Once again, we will be inviting a new panel of judges (5) to impartially vote on their favorites which will make up 70% of the FINAL scores for each contestant.

30% of the vote is still up to you!! Keep voting for your favorites on http://moolto.ning.com/group/MrandMissMoolto

Round One
Contestants will be scored in the finals on their teamwork and will be asked to explain the Visual Image and the Brand Slogan realized in the previously stage.

These will be displayed on a board next to the stage.

Round Two
Our contestants have been preparing too a live ‘scene’ which will be shown in round two of the final. This should last no longer than 5 minutes.
Example:
a) An interview where one is the ‘journalist’ and one the face of moolto answering;
b) A simple meeting: the face of Moolto meeting a person who does not know about Moolto. One can ask and the other answers.
This is the best example of what working at Moolto is like-explaining it to people who do not understand it.
This section can be in voice or text at the finals and you can choose to be serious-or funny. Whatever makes them comfortable!

Round Three
Each individual contestant will be asked how they would physically present Moolto.
This could be an object in world, a gadget or a piece of clothing. They will be welcome to create the idea if they have the time and ability to do so but we do NOT expect them to do so.
The judges will be scoring once again on their ideas-we do not expect you to be builders or designers.

You could not miss this!

FASHION CALENDAR: A Preview from IMAGE Agency: New York Fashion Week 2-11 till 2-18

IMAGE Models Agency is launching 2010 with a New York Fashion week which is being held in honor of Olympus Fashion Week in New York City. Lola Baudin, the COO of IMAGE Models Agency has lived in New York City and has traversed the very grounds where Fashion Week is held in Real Life. “This project is very special to me because New York City is where I found my deep love of fashion and it is a place I want pay a tribute to in Second Life. Although the concept of Fashion Week isn’t new in Second Life; I wanted to bring my interpretation of New York City and the amazingly fashion forward people who live there.”

The Fall 2010 Collection is set to launch for the week of February 2010-2011 and IMAGE Models Agency will correspond with the same dates in the Second Life grid. Virtual Reality has gotten much press in the recent crash of the economy; even USA Today wrote an article on this recent Trend. People are now turning to shopping and living in virtual world as a form of entertainment since it provides those same values for much less. As Jayne O’Donnell, reporter for USA Today states, “Unlike Reality, Virtual Retail Sales are Hot Especially For Avatars“. But this isn’t just about sales and profits. It’s also about creativity and energy that thrives in Virtual Reality. “The thought and and the ideas behind the designs surpasses anything we can find in Real Life. Unlimited by gravity, production cost, and imagination; Virtual World Fashion is something truly spectacular to be seen and experienced,” Baudin states. It is with this premise that NY Fashion Week has emerged.

Even though the events are still in planning stages, some of most notable Second Life Companies are on board. Maxes Loon of Moolto will be our sponsor for the event. We will hold the Fashion Week on Moolto Event Sim and also be a featured event for Moolto. Topaz Joubert of Maniera Magazine has graciously agreed to sponsor IMAGE Models as well. “We are still speaking with several Second Life companies about sponsorship opportunities including Real Life Fashion Companies,” Baudin states. This is a fashion event not to be missed.
