While there is Life, there is Hope – Cicero

Okay, I don’t think Cicero was referring to Rebel Hope and Second Life in the title quote, but Rebel has been around long enough that the quote seems applicable here as well.  Judging from the number of people that came to the studio to see her this night, there is little doubt that she can continue for a long time to come as well.  It seemed that everyone in attendance was already familiar with the works of Rebel,  and were interested to hear from the person behind the designs they love.

Just as Fabulous Fashion helps to expand the exposure of designers, so do well known designers help to increase the awareness of the show.  Feyth Ashbourne was brought to the studio because of her love of Rebel Hope clothes.  “I came to see what the show was like, to see what takes place here.  It is a very new experience for me.  It’s interesting to listen to the designers’ perspective, and the interview is very comprehensive.  I enjoyed it very much.  I have liked Rebel’s designs since I started SL, and it was lovely to hear her view on fashion.”  This was Feyth’s introduction to Fabulous Fashion thanks to Rebel and I expect she’s likely to return.

Owner of Exodi and a friend of Rebel Hope, Ryker Beck, was already familiar with the show from having seen it on TV, but came to see Rebel’s interview live.  This was her first time seeing the show in studio.  Anyone who has seen the show both live and taped can appreciate the richer atmosphere of watching live in studio, as Ryker found out this night.  “I thought it was great!  Angie’s incredibly good at hosting and asking the right questions and Rebel did great.  It was actually like watching a real talk show.”  Perhaps she’ll be back to watch future shows live.

Fabulous Fashion continues to develop a symbiotic relationship with designers and stylists as each show seems to bring new viewers to the studio.  People often come to see one and become exposed to the others.  Most who see the show turn out to be fans that will keep coming back, as is the case with Yasmina Lemon.  “I love fashion.  I came to the show because one Sunday I was sitting around at home and saw a repeat of the show and thought what an amazing idea!  I saw a dress on the show and went to the store they recommended and loved it.  So I figured I’d see it live.  This is my 2nd time here during a taping.  The first time was last week, this is the first time I can hear.  I like it a lot, it’s kind of like being an insider.”
