“Pixel-Perfect Chaos: A Runway Director’s Tale in Heels

Image
  By Lali Arbizu   Ever watched a flawless Second Life runway show and thought, Wow, that was seamless!? Yeah. That’s because you didn’t have a headset on. Let me tell you what it’s like to direct a fashion show in Second Life: It’s equal parts fashion, logistics, motivational speaking, crisis management, and digital exorcism. You haven’t lived until you’ve tried to talk down a panicked model whose pose HUD stopped working just 30 seconds before her walk, while someone else is accidentally rezzing a horse backstage. Step One: Say Yes, Then Question Everything It starts off so innocently. “Would you like to direct our upcoming fashion show?” Sure, I say. That sounds fun! Cut to: me awake at 2 a.m. color-coding walk orders, screaming at a script that says things like “Model number One to first stop, number Two to waiting spot, number Three don’t move!” Do I know what I’m doing? Not entirely. Do I sound like I do? Absolutely. Step Two: Organize the Chaos (...

A small tribute to a dear friend no longer with us........ Carilynn O'Hare aka Joan Troy By Diana Balhaus Not always we are blessed to cross paths with unforgettable people, Cari was all that. In the vast digital world of Second Life, we meet avatars with many faces, styles, and stories. But every once in a while, someone comes along whose presence goes far beyond pixels — someone who radiates warmth, humor, and kindness. Carilynn O’Hare was one of those rare souls. Carilynn wasn't just a model in the Second Life fashion scene — she was a friend, a confidante, and a true light for everyone who crossed her path. Known for her generosity, quick wit, and unmistakable charm, she brought heart to everything she did, from the way she walked the runway to how she cheered on those around her behind the scenes. She had that rare gift of making you feel like the most important person in the room — even if that “room” was a laggy event sim with 47 avatars and a DJ playing glitchy techno. ...

Beyond the Avatar: The Art and Soul of Being a Second Life Model When someone hears “model in Second Life,” they probably picture an avatar walking down a virtual runway dressed in digital haute couture. But those of us who have spent years in this virtual world know that being a model in Second Life goes far beyond that image. It’s about commitment, artistry, technique—and above all, identity. Because behind every step we take on that runway lies hours of preparation, a passion for aesthetics, and a deep desire to express something more than just fashion. My avatar is not just a pretty figure—it’s an extension of my creativity, my ideas, my vision, my voice.and what I want to express. The modeling industry helped me discover and define who I am within the SL universe. From the style I choose to the projects I take part in, everything is part of an identity I’ve built step by step, fashion show after fashion show, complemented by classes and mentoring by the best people SL gave me as a...
