Fabulous Fashion: First Anniversary of our Pilot Show!

Tonight on Fabulous Fashion:  Celebrating the anniversary of our Pilot Show with Digit Darkes!

It is amazing how time flies, it’s been a year since I taped the pilot episode of Fabulous Fashion!  It was last July that I had designer Digit Darkes on as my very first interview. I was really nervous and I crashed during the show, leaving Digit to do the outfits on her own!  But we had a great time and so it is my pleasure to welcome Digit back to talk about what she has been up to since our last interview.  And of course her line of gorgeous clothing never disappoints!

In our accessories spotlight: Guest Stylist Gidge Uriza

Fashionista extraodinare Gidge Uriza returns as this week’s Guest Stylist.  Gidge has been really busy in SL lately, in addition to the ‘It’s Only Fashion’ blog she shares with friend and photographer Cajsa Lilliehook, Gidge also writes for the popular ‘Second Style’ website and the ‘Free*Style’ Blog.  Gidge has some fantastic accessories this week and I am sure we will have a ton of fun showing them to you!

Please join our live audience this Monday at 6pm SLT at the Fabulous Fashion studio!   Doors open at 5:30pm SLT/PDT.

Fashion Bloggers in the Spotlight

This past week saw something a little different on Fabulous Fashion.  Instead of featuring a designer or fashion icon, Angie invited a few popular bloggers to appear as guests on the show.  Many blogs are well read and have large followings and this is certainly true of the popular blogs that follow Second Life fashion.  With their popularity and the service they do the content creators, it seems appropriate to feature them on a show such as this.

The audience seemed to like the topic as a change of pace.  CodeBastard Redgrave and Gabby Panacek were in attendance today.  I’m not sure if either had been to the studio to see the show live before, but both are familiar with the show and it’s segments.   Gabby is also familiar with the blogs of a couple of the guests, so she enjoyed the topic, ” really like it…lots of interesting information…I love listening to Kimmy talk about the outfits.  And hearing about the freebie blogs was fun too.  And Ten…well, I lover her, so I’m glad she’s talking about something other than drama.  Angie’s such a pro…she asks the right questions and keeps the conversation moving.  She’s good at what she does…I don’t envy her that job.”

Toko Voom made her first visit to the studio this night, although she has watched it before on TV, so she too is familiar with the typical guest spots.  She also found this to be an interesting change of pace “Without bloggers you won’t hear about a lot of designers.  [Angie] is pretty amazing and I like that she knows what she is talking about.”

Like many nights, the featured guest(s) also bring new fans to the show, people that may have never seen it but come specifically to see the guest.  It’s one of the ways that people get introduced to the show and become fans.  Stephen Venkman heard that popular Vain blogger Kimmy Mirabeau was on, “I am a fan of Vain magazine and the people behind it’s success.”  It’s possible that we’ll see him back again someday with the right topics, “It’s a good show.  I’m enjoying it.  It depends for me what it’s about or who is on the show as I’m not really into women’s fashion that much but the people behind it.. now if it was a men’s show.. I’d be all ears.”

The Business of Fashion: Fashion Blogging

Tonight’s show will be the first in an ongoing series called: The Business of Fashion. The fashion industry in SL is one of the most successful communities in Second Life. It is an industry that can be very lucrative, that can be full of unity and at times full of drama. It is a complex network of Designers, Models, agencies, magazines, and bloggers who represent all levels of the SL fashion industry.

The first episode of this series, “Fashion Blogging”, will take a look at the role that the blogosphere plays in the SL fashion community.

My guests are from three different blogs that represent three different perspectives in fashion:

*Tenshi Vielle, Editor of Shopping Cart Disco.
Love her or hate her, Tenshi’s blog is one of the most popular blogs in SL. The SCD web site received over 70,000 hits last month alone, from readers who love to keep up with the latest in fashion gossip, controversy and news. Shopping Cart Disco has covered the good, the bad and the truly ugly.
http://www.shoppingcartdisco.com

*Kimberly Mirabeau, Editor-at-Large, Arts Editor and Model for Vain Inc.
Vain Magazine is a top fashion publication and Vain Inc. is a multifaceted business. The very talented Kimberly Mirabeau will be on hand to talk about what it takes to run a magazine in the fickle world of SL fashion, and how blogging is used as a saavy promotional tool for Vain.

*Dahlindah Destiny, Blogger for Free*Style
Dahlinda makes her second appearance on Fabulous Fashion, this time she will give her perspective on freebies and their place within the fashion community. Freebies are another ongoing hot topic in SL Fashion, and we will hear what Dahlindah has to say about them and about how popular the freebie blogging community is in SL.

Fabulous Fashion Returns to the Studio

Fabulous fashion returned to the studio and it’s regular format this week, after doing the special episode at SL6B.  Thankfully, the fans of the show remembered their way here.  Many showed up this night, both regulars and new comers, to see Swaffette and her designs.  Of course, Swaffette has been around Second Life fashion for quite some time and has an extensive array of men’s and women’s fashion, so it’s likely that some followed her down to the show.

(Sasy Scarborough and Paisley Beebe)

Looking over the crowd, I spotted the popular blogger Sasy Scarborough sitting with Paisley.  In speaking with her, I learned that she is an occasional member of the audience.  She is a fan of the show and tries to make when time allows.  She had some nice comments on the show: “It was wonderful being able to see such an icon like Swaffette featured in this way, I have always admired her work and hearing her talk with such passion was inspiring.  Zoe as Guest Stylist talking about her favorite accessories was a wonderful choice, her style is marvelous and it was really lovely to hear her talk with as much style and creativity as she portrays in her Photography and blogging, fantastic show, I am so glad I made it.”

(Miko Omegamu, Tia Ryba and Snapple Sneerwell)

With Second Life being global, it’s natural that no time is convenient to everyone, but real fans do what they can to see the show.  It seems that Miko Omegamu is one such fan.  “I am sneaking in while I’m logged in at work.”  A real fan, no doubt.  “So great I logged in from work  to see it!”  Of course, the show is available on Treet TV for those unable to see it live.  ”Whenever I have time I queue up the ones I’ve missed.”  And her favorite aspect of the show?  “I think meeting the designer and getting to know them beyond their fashions.”

(Kate Stockholm and CheerCoach4EJS Gymnast)

Of course a number of regulars are always present.  Kate Stockholm and CheerCoach4EJS Gymnast are almost always at the live tapings and returned to the studio with the show this night.  Whether regulars at the tapings or viewers of the the show on TV, all the fans contribute to the success of Fabulous Fashion.
