An Invigorating Dose of Venom

Thanks for reading!

This is about a week later than I intended it to be, but hey, things happen right? *Giggles* This was my first show with Audace Siren and I have to say, I had a lot of fun with it in the end! I got to model 4 outfits in the show, and I'll detail them below. I hope you enjoy! *Smiles*

Venom is ready to go to the beach wearing Polka Dot Bikini from Sky. This Bikini comes with a HUD with a total of 6 color options for both the top and the bottom making it perfect for all your swimwear needs! Her jewelry is from Glint adding a little sparkle to her look. A big floppy hat from Baiastice keeps the sun from her face as she looks for the perfect spot to sunbathe. She's got her big beach bag from Zenith filled with anything she could need for a day in the sun, she's even got spare hair ties on her wrist because hey, a girl is ALWAYS prepared, and don't forget her sunglasses from Glamistry and sandals from REIGN! She's even attracted some butterflies to her from Grumble!

This assignment was kind of interesting. The teachers went over several different genres in fashion and gave examples even of each genre and a history and description of each. For the assignment, each student was given a genre to do research on and then style an outfit for. For mine, I got Haute Couture.

For the first part of the assignment, we were told to write a paragraph about our selected genre. Below is what I did for this part with links to where I found the info.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haute_couture
http://www.fashion-era.com/haute_couture.htm

Haute Couture originates from Paris, meaning high sewing, high dressmaking or high fashion. Haute Couture items are hand crafted from start to finish using very high quality, expensive and often bold or unusual fabrics with extreme attention to detail by experienced sewers. The time and money that goes into each item often makes the phrase 'money has no value' relevant. It's often created for specific clients since it's also often form fitting needing the clients exact measurements to craft it.

For the next part, we had to style an outfit showing off the genre and write about why we chose each piece. So I'll put what I wrote for mine, and then the picture and style card below. *Smiles*

I chose this dress, because I saw it by chance browsing on the marketplace, and the color, pattern, and back really made me go "oooh" and I was unable to get it out of my head after that. I thought it would work well for the assignment since it has the intricate pattern and is form fitting and is very elegant and beautiful.
I went simple on the shoes because I didn't want them to distract from the dress very much, and thought that the cute little maryjane pumps were perfect, subtle and elegant, and not too extravagant.
The jewelry i thought would make  a nice touch, also not overly extravagant, but very elegant and pretty, I was able to play with the colors til I found a suitable color combo to add to the dress, but not take away from it.
For the makeup, I saw the eyeshadow at a sale and had to get it, and thought it dressed up and brought my face into the dress too.
The nails I thought would be a good match also with the blue and silver deco.
I chose an updo bun to show off the delicate cut on the back of the dress.

I had received information about the upcoming Zuri Spring Soiree Fashion Show, and figured, hey, why not at least give it a shot. SO, I sent in my info and waited to hear back if I would be accepted into the audition phase happening on March 31. The next day, I had been contacted that I would be auditioning for the show! (YAY!) So I started working on an outfit and poses. The theme was formal, so I was going through different gowns that I had and jewelry that might go with it. What I came up with, I was really pleased with, I felt beautiful! After the audition, there was a day of waiting before we found out who got accepted into the show, and (YAY!) I was one of the 10 models! Below is a picture and style info of what I wore to my audition. I hope you like it as much as I do!

Okay, so, 103's class was split in 2 classes because it was such an involved class. Here is the assignment that Ponchi gave half way through the 103 class. It was a fun assignment, and was the first time I tried to do the season color scheme to fit my skin and make me look FABULOUS. Ponchi said to think like I'm going to walk the Red Carpet going to the Oscars. Below is what I came up with, and I think it came together pretty nicely. =)
