Invading The Red Carpet….

Today… December 20th, at 11am SLT ,  specially invited bloggers, were able to get a sneak peek at the PACADI Jasha pre-secret fashion show walkabout.  Shop*gasm, was honoured to be one of the special invitees :) 
Kilo and I headed down just shortly after 11am where we were greeted by Lotta Shelman, she was very helpful and full of information for everyone who were tp-ing in to get the sneak peek.  The event designer, had spared no expense in her effort to create a groundbreaking event in SL.   Here are some things you might NOT know about the process of this event we were witness to today :)
“On November 30th PACADI Jasha already organized in-worlds' biggest open model casting. Over 100 models were live on stage and we picked our favourite models directly from the test runway. Between the 28th November and the 3rd December we received over 200 applications from models who wanted to be in the show. On the 4th December we chose 8 models to be live with us in the great show. We chose Lauren Bisiani, Imani Enzo, Leandra Breen, Catwoman Ember, Pumking Saenz, Haidyn Inglewood, Lills Liotta and Elaine Green. With these 8 models we created an international model group for probably SecondLife's most complex show. “

The show itself was very innovative with three-set changes, all very unique in theme.  We began with the “Lady Gaga”, followed by “Clockwork Love” and ending with “Highland Romance”.  All the models were beautiful, and accessorized just right.  The last time I looked at my map tool there were approx 50 people in the audience, so it would be most certainly called a success!  But with all good does come some constructive advice…. I have a fast computer, but I found that with the amount of people on the sim, and lag, many of the models took long to rez and by that time they had already whizzed by me.  The shots I did manage to get, were less than stellar.  The Models were too fast on the runway, and there were no introductions or descriptions about the pieces that were being shown.  However with that said, for the first of what will be MANY fashion shows, I can honestly say that PACADI Jasha will be pivotal in the SL fashion industry with their cutting edge designs and out of the box presentations :)  Congrats to you all :)
