The last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind. I am always sad to see the holidays pass by, but I've had my hands full with newness, in both RL and SL. Included in part of this has been an interview about the My Precious Queen final in AVENUE Magazine, which you can read here. The article features not only myself, but beautiful photos of all of the finalists, as well as words from the 1st Runner Up, Genevieve Kamala and the 2nd Runner Up, Cieleste Magic.
As My Precious Queen 2011, I thought one of my first tasks here should be to give a short introduction about who I am. I emerged in-world in February of 2008, almost two years ago, and very soon after, it became apparent that I was going to need to find some way to make a living in order to support a burgeoning shopping habit. I decided early on that I wanted to pursue the option of opening my own photography studio and I started small while I worked as a DJ. In the fall of 2009, I took a leave from online communities for a period of time to devote more time to some RL changes, and when I returned in the spring, I was visiting some of my favorite designers' shops and Agnes Finney's My Precious was one of the first places I returned to. Upon my return, I noticed the board advertising the contest, and as a photography project, I decided to enter. The rest, as they say, is history.

I enjoy dabbling in photoshop, checking out the live music scene in-world, and exploring all of the creative sims out there. I am also a hunt addict and can become a little hunt-obsessive, many times insisting on doing the hunt from beginning to end in a couple of sittings. I love meeting new people, and I can say with all honesty that the best thing to come out of not only my time as a model but the My Precious Queen contest has been the opportunity to cross paths with so many wonderful people.

During my early days in SL, I found myself at a formal ball, and there was a woman at the ball that I am sure drew the attention of everyone. I couldn't tear my eyes away from her. She wore a deep red gown in a luxuriously textured fabric reminiscent of lush velvet that featured a jaw-dropping, daring plunging neckline, and I had to have it. Goddess in red became the first My Precious gown in my inventory, soon to be followed by many others. One of the wonderful characteristics of My Precious gowns is their timeless quality and versatility, making them terrific choices for many occasions. I still love Goddess as much as I did the first night I wore it.
