The DRAX FILES: Editorial Clarity

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G921mMfJ4So

The latest Drax Files by Draxtor Despres is out and it features my hubby, Editorial Clarity.
Watch how Edi started out as well as his plans for LTD Magazine and Interior Designs.

I am in the video as well and I am honestly terrified and very hesitant to do it.
I have always been very private and have avoided posting any RL pictures of myself.
I am very self-conscious of my looks and have a self-image problem so this was very hard for me to do, but Draxtor was very friendly and professional which made it easier. He is the best at what he does and he did an amazing job with the video.

The video also tells the story of how Editorial Clarity and I met and fell in love.
I agreed to do this video because I want everyone to know that LOVE IS POSSIBLE, even in a virtual world. Many people have doubted us and so many things were always in the way, but we have made it work despite of the distance and the obstacles. We are planning on getting married in Real life and will be living together in Chicago. ❤

❤ BELIEVE in LOVE. ❤

Hello everyone,

Please like our magazine page to get the latest updates on new releases, castings, events and even changes. We aim to keep improving the magazine and continue to allow styling talents to be showcased as our magazine model regardless of whether you have a modeling certificate or not!

We will be organizing an official event for residents without modeling certificates to cast to be part of our magazine group. This casting will allow residents to stay in the magazine group permanently as our magazine models.

Hello everyone,

I’ve decided to only post a few teasers for Vol 3 and let all of you find out who will be featured on the actual release day itself.

What I can reveal is, we managed to have 75% of the models featured not being official/certified ones. The theme’s a tough one and if you think they couldn’t do a good job, think again and check out their styling when Vol 3 is released 😉

ADVERTISE on Style Kingdom Magazine

Strip’d Fashion for Style Kingdom Magazine Vol 2

During our initial phase, Style Kingdom Magazine only personally invited some stores to advertise in the magazine, for free.

After releasing Vol 2 on the 1st of March, the response, feedback and emails were overwhelmingly good we’ve decided to open it up to ANY store that wants to advertise in the magazine.

Some things to note

1) Every magazine is limited to maximum 4 different store ads.

2) Priority will be given to stores that are 1yr old or less.

3) Stores more than 1 yr old will be given priority too, if we see you could use an extra boost.

4) No cost is involved, we advertise for free meaning we have the right to place whichever ads we want for any particular Vol to maintain the quality of the magazine.

Style Kingdom aims to not only promote residents with styling skills who aren’t official/certified models but also to promote new stores that have good clothes and need that extra boost without the financial burden.

For more information, email dougieboxen@gmail.com [ IM’s will be ignored ]
