Wow! Maybe I am creative!

I'm flattered. :-)  But check out the other featured dolls, they are quite talented! I'm humbled by being included with these creative dollies.

Now HERE is a fashion line to be excited about!

If you are a historian like  me (unlikely), or are a fan of the brilliant Baz Luhrman film "Moulin Rouge", or even if you just adore fashion with a fun, sexy edge, (or all three, again like me, and who says geeks can't love fashion?) then wow! will you be thrilled!

Introducing M. Rouge, a new line by Ceaara! Below is a spoiler; click the photo or the link below it to get to the blog for news, updates, previews and bohemian fun!

Follow the the line of can-can dancers to M.Rouge!


Freedom!  Beauty!  Truth!  Love!

Remove the spaces.  ;-)

If this doesn't work, I'm going to poke myself in the eye with the stiletto heel on one of my shoes.  LOL! 

NCG Australia!

Yay!  I won NCG Australia for September 27th 2011!  Wootness!

It was so nice of so many people to vote for me; there are a lot of really nice people on Stardoll!

On the other hand, the "magazine cover" is screwed up, it doesn't show my outfit correctly. Oh well, I've got the trophy and that will last much longer, plus I did a screen capture so I can reminisce about my victory at later dates.

Thanks again to everyone who voted!


 

Bits & pieces

Drama drama drama. I now understand why nice people quit Stardoll. Jeez.

In other news, I am up to my neck in research for this semester. Ouch. I’m enjoying it, but it is hard. And I really, really need to live in Turkey.

If I’m hard to reach, you now know why. And it only gets worse from here… MAs are even harder, and the PhD will probably kill me.

P.S.-- Completely off topic for this "gaming" blog, but in my honest opinion, the bloody History Channel needs to lift it's fucking game. (There I said game, made relevant.) Anyway, in what universe is the NT considered "history"?  And "Ice Road Truckers" and "Top Shot"? (Epic fail due to Colby Donanldson, the yutz.) THAT'S NOT HISTORY!  They should be canceled THEN they'd be history. Seriously, would it kill the History Channel to actually DO some history?  Jeez.

This is important-- check it out.

The lovely & talented Audrey is working a new project, about to be unveiled. She hasn't released all the details on it yet, but given the name of the project and the feelings she has expressed about the drama and bias in Dollyworld, it looks as if she is taking steps to make Stardoll-- and real life-- better for all of us. Please check it out, and follow the blog!

Just a quick update...

The new uni semester is totally interfering with my Stardoll time!  Waaaaaaaaaaa!  Please feel sorry for me.  ;-)

Okay, just kidding; I love being back in uni and the hard work is rewarding. I am learning some really great stuff this semester even if I don't have a Roman history class of any sort. *pouts* But I do have a feeling that once these degrees are complete and I move back to the US to do my Masters of Divinity, then I will likely MOVE to Turkey for a few years-- all the things that matter most deeply to me in my history studies are there, including topics I could use for that particular Master's thesis. (Hittite art, Byzantine ruins, Ottoman Empire art & architecture, Graeco-Roman influences, Willusa (Troy?) and modern Istanbul & Ankara...) Sure,  Australia will always be home, just like the US is still my home, and the special ways that Mexico & Pakistan are "homelike" to me and own part of my heart... but I think now I'm getting a crush on Turkey. <3

Okay, should get back to the study. Can only wax cosmopolitan for short periods now (both the fashion Cosmo & the actual definition) because I'll have nothing good if I don't give my all to being a great religious historian.
 

Some changes...

I've decided I needed a full blog for my Stardoll portfolio. Yeah, call me optimistic. :-)

Actually, the reason is I have actually gotten some modeling jobs, and it'll be easier to organise everything on a separate blog-- a place for the head shots, a place for the finished photos & such, another place to advertise for designers, mags, etc.

And another place to post my favourite Stardoll photos!

So here is the link to the new portfolio, and once it is "officially" ready, I'll make a directing link on the relevant post below.

In other news, I have been playing with graphics today, and simultaneously listening to a lecture series on Near Eastern mythology. I figure some of it will help with the paper I am writing on Hittite art, and the rest is useful for both my majors. Go me! LOL!

Wow! I have been selected as a contestant in Audrey's NTM!

I'm thrilled-- this is going to be so much fun, and just the thing to take my mind off studies when I need a break. (And boy oh boy will I need a break; just listened to a three hour lecture on Athenian and Spartan women in Classical Greece. On the other hand, I should ace that exam, it's mostly a rehash from previous courses I've taken on Greek history.)

Anyway--

Audrey's Next Top Model Club can be found here; and here is the link to the blog.

Wish us all luck-- I have some super-duper amazing competition & feel a bit like a weed in a rose garden!  ;-)

Yay! My first Stardoll modeling job!

It's with Paradox by Hrly... simply divine clothes!  (Links below.) It must have been so hard to choose models-- from a look at the others who made it, they are a seriously pretty & unique lot. I am super flattered, humbled and quite giddy.


Click here to check out Paradox by Hrly! It's worth the visit to see her designs. 

An idea...

There are many Stardoll 'zines out there, and I've noticed lots of them are looking for writers (and a few really need editors that can spell & punctuate-- sorry, my bad habit due to uni studies). I'm thinking of writing some articles and shopping them about-- freelancing-- as I don't want to commit to just one 'zine, at least right now. Damn uni schedule is going to really cut into my game time, dammit.

Anyway, to that end, I have a few ideas in mind, and am outlining and starting the research on one in specific. I'm not going to give anything away here yet, will keep it under my hat until I see if it turns out to have some substance.

In the meantime, I will have to shop some of these 'zines again to see if they have a market for this story. It won't be suitable for all. (By story, I mean a piece of writing, not fiction.)

Stardoll modeling-- *My portfolio* A work in progress
