CONNECT Magazine Vol 1 - Issue 4 | Page 26

For this issue I got to meet someone new who has a great shop, her name is LadyTwinkley! Her shop is not based off a certain look. She creates lots of items that anyone can make look great! Let’s see what answers she has in store for us... 1. Is there a certain creator that inspires you? A: Whims, I love her creations. First thing i do when i log on each day is see what she has made. 2. What's your "go to" look when you are creating? A: Cute, sexy, comfy, etc kind of looks, all of those to be honest. I would say cute & sexy mostly, something just pops in my head, an idea or something I have seen, I like to change it as much as I can. I recently found a picture of a pink pumpkin, I thought that would be very different to the usual Halloween colours. 3. How often do you create a week? A: Ooo I try and create at least 5-10 items each day, lots of time on my hands lol. I am quite fussy, I made the dress I am wearing now today & it took me about 2 hours to get it right. I have in the past just closed it if I am not 100% happy with the end result, if I would wear it then I think others will too. I would never make anything that I would not put on my avi lol. 4. What item(s) that you have created is your favorite so far? A: In the summer I made a swimsuit, it looks like a waffle cone with pink ice cream covered in 100's & 1000's. I added the 100's & 1000's in gimp and was really happy with how it turned out, that’s a fave of mine, I also make rooms and furniture. 5. What can your shoppers expect from your shop in the near future? A: I will be making more Halloween items and then Christmas things once Halloween is over! 6. Why did you get started as a creator? A: I joined imvu in 2007, I did the chats, the daily outfit contest & have roleplayed. I have always been creative. I had some friends that were devs, they told me to give it a go. I learned along the way and have been a pro dev for the last 8 years. Started off making a t-shirt, where everyone started in the early days of imvu, & once I had made that T-shirt I was hooked lol. Then, a few rooms and furniture, then hair. Interview by: lAzlianal 26
