To portray this on the cover, I went to the Visionaire Institute, a leading photography school in Second Life, located at the iMoogi Entertainment Resort. I offered to the current students, an opportunity. Using ONE avatar and ONE pose, show me both street fashion or haute couture, coupled with something role play -- a character for example. To the right is the winner of the competition, the talented Ms. Avalon Chrome. When asked what her inspiration was, Avalon eagerly shared, “The theme of my art gallery is “Dreams”. But I took it further to express my feelings of rising above the frustrations of a lifetime of feeling unheard. Sometimes the anguish leaves me feeling a sense of duality, having to feel I need to be someone else to just be heard. So this photo symbolizes the sense of duality I often feel in my struggle to find my voice and be heard.” Brilliantly done Avalon, keep up the magnificent work! 22 NU VIBEZ & ROLEPLAY GUIDE MAGAZINE Alien Side: Xen’s Hats Extreme Headpiece “W” Warrior Cyber Blue eyes OtherSkin - Assula - Fleur
