My dream has always been to bring a better way to shop to Sl. Yes, SL has hundreds of bloggers with pages and groups, impossible to keep up with. Yes, you can get alerts from your favorite creator but you know that you just don’t have the time to review the 42 group notices, dozen or so Facebook groups and bookmark all the bloggers who pop up every other day. E N V Y, a magazine full of the exclusives that are dropping now without waiting a month between publications, the lag of shopping , time consumption or forgetting to check blogger pages and Flickr. Click&Shop directly from the pages here. You’ll see them highlight as you turn the page or hover over their ads to go directly to the Marketplace or SLURL. Come back here to always find what you’re looking for, in one easy and accessible place, E N V Y MAGAZINE. Happy Good Friday and Easter to you and yours.

Analena: What, according to you, is your favorite part of being a fashion designer? Becca: I know that many would assume it's the money. Don't get me wrong, yes that's a definite plus side to it, but I think what holds the most memorable to me are my supporters. To every single person who has gone out of their way to tell me that they love or enjoy what I do - is amazing. You guys seriously validate what I do on here, and it's a wonderful feeling that I hope I never lose. So, thank you! Analena: And you have a really big fan base! A testament to your work! Who and which things were your inspiration while creating your designs?

Becca: A lot of my hair is inspired by what I've drawn in the past. However, some inspiration comes from my customers. I have a form set up so anyone can send me styles they want to see made here in SL. If it's within my skill set, you better believe I make it happen! For my clothing, I'm told it has the "Tumblr" aesthetic, and I would agree. If you use that site you'll see the influence, but if you don't it's kind of like a comfortable apathy or urban style. Analena. WOW! Custom made for the masses! I love it! Define what you think fashion is about? Becca: Self expression, always. I don't go for the cookie-cutter thing, meaning I love seeing individuality in and on people. It's as simple as that for me.

Analena. YESSSSS! Does creating and designing get stressful at all? Becca: You better believe it does. Sometimes I run out of ideas and start to struggle on what to do next. That feeling amplifies when I have a deadline to meet for an upcoming event I'm in, or three. I refuse to put anything out that I'm not 100% proud of and that becomes difficult when the clock is ticking. Also, there are many, many hiccups that occur when designing something. It can be due to myself, the programs I use, or SL. Sometimes it can be all three at once! So a word of advice to anyone thinking about starting their own business, patience is truly a virtue.

Analena. Which of course, explains why all of your products are consistently of quality. Where do you see your career in the next year? Becca: Hopefully with the big leagues! My dream is to be apart of UBER or The Arcade Events. A lot of people think that I'm some popular creator and I'm really not. But that's not stopping me from trying to do my best. I'm constantly trying to improve what I do every time I go to my drawing board. There are so many talented creators out there and I can only dream of being side by side with them one day. By next year, I want to see myself achieving those things. Analena: We are big supporters of you and many of the designers who have been featured in E N V Y. Your talent is amazing and we’re excited to see you and BEUSY grow! Thank you for interviewing with us! Becca: Thank you ENVY Magazine for featuring me, it's a true honor.

Maureen O’Hara Dubbed "Ireland's first Hollywood superstar", Maureen O'Hara enjoyed a career that spanned 30+ years, ending in the early 1970's. Placing great emphasis on work ethic and punctuality, she even insisted on doing her own stunts. She was injured so many times that her colleagues remarked that she "should have been awarded a Purple Heart". She was once quoted as saying "Above all else, deep in my soul, I'm a tough Irishwoman".

Celtic Fae The Milesians conquered modern Ireland. Their blood flows through most people of Irish heritage today. Irish people who can trace their roots to the Milesians can also trace their heritage to Fae. Milesians are believed to be the offspring of Humans and Fae. They are the earlier Celtic traditions of fairies. Irish Faeries were believed to be the size of average humans, had magical powers, shape shifters & seemed eternally young. 32
