Editor’s Notes By Kiett Prince
This week’s featured E N V Y Model is none other than Say Say! When I hired him on as an E N V Y Model many months ago, he was in
the
middle
of
modeling
school,
a
competition and styling his arse off! In this issue, we catch up with Say Say to see all the goodness SL has brought him. On August 7th another event round at SWANK will be upon us! My brother from another mother, Adonis Lubomir of SWANK will have a sneak peek this Saturday on
August 6th @ 3pm of some exclusive and one of a kind designs! SWANK’s preview show always rolls out the red carpet for their customers for a mini fashion week addiction! Click here for your limousine to the SWANK preview show! The “I Stand for Peace” Flickr group photo is in and it is gorgeous. The challenge is ongoing, so it is not too late to submit your photo to us! While Scott is on a well deserved vacation, we continue his installation of E N V Y Photographers’ 101 series.
Let’s experiment together with windlights and graphics
settings in this Strawberry Singh inspired hands on lesson! We adore her and love how she shares her settings and skills to enhance all photographers! And as always, our creative E N V Y Models show us how cool it is to shop in the heat of summer!

I interviewed Say Say (saddii resident) our E N V Y Model, one of two male models on staff recently to learn a bit more about him. Say Say joined E N V Y Magazine while still a student at Models R Us. He has since graduated with flying colors and anticipates
attending Metaverse in the very near future. Say Say is a strong and creative stylist who is always professional. This was evidenced in his win as Mr. Virtual World Ireland 2016, an achievement he is extremely proud of and with good reason, as it is one of the most competitive pageants in SL. 13
Scott Nobody: How long have you been in the modeling industry? Say Say: Five months. SN: What brought you into the SL fashion industry? Say Say: I love styling bold and daring outfits to show everyone out there that it’s ok to be different and look fabulous doing it. Modeling has been a dream to me and I now have that chance in SL and I love every moment of it. To teach and show others wanting to model that yes, they too can do this and achieve greatness. SN: What’s been your greatest achievement in your career so far or your most
memorable moment? Say Say: I’d have to say it was my greatest moment when I was announced as 2nd runner up in Mr. Virtual World 2016. My heart pounded and I was overcome with joy to have made it so far as a new model...that would also be the most memorable moment of my life to share that with my friends and family. SN: How far do you want to take your modeling career? Say Say: ALL the way. I plan to keep modeling and do pageants. My main goal is now to take who I am, which is an intersexual who is male and woman and make it as both male and female model. To hold titles in each phase of my personality and who I am. SN: We wish you good fortunes with your goal! Do you have a favorite fashion
style? Say Say: AVANT GARDE because it’s bold and daring, dark and mysterious. SN: What is the model community like based upon your experiences so far? Say Say: It’s fast, hard, stressing, and worth it so much when you achieve the end result and greatness. It gives a pride within one’s self. SN: What is an absolute must a new model would need to know? Say Say: I would have to tell them to just be themselves. To go after their dream whether they think they have what it takes or not. We never know unless we try. To do their homework and check out the many different schools and what they offer, as well as the agencies out there. There are people who can be mean and some nice. Just stay true to you and not fall into the line of idle gossips. Find your own facts and go for it. SN: That’s some very sage advice Say Say. Is there anything else you want to share? Say Say: Thank you to all who have placed faith in me, and helped me grow and become the man I am and model I have become. There’s so much I'm grateful for, thank you. SN: Thank you Say Say for taking the time to let E N V Y Readers get to know you! 14

P h otog r a ph y Ba s i cs 1 0 1 By: Kiett D. Prince
When I was 15 years old,
I met a beautiful
looking woman in Atlanta, Georgia who had a hair color I admired. I complimented her and asked her for the name of her stylist. She gave me a bogus name and number. That heifer broke my innocent heart! From that moment on, I vowed two things: to not be like that selfish woman and to always share the good I find in the world. “An ugly heart will ruin its pretty face”. This Photography Basics 101 exercise is for photos that are flat, one dimensional, and without shadows. You may find this exercise helpful if you use the sim’s windlight or use the same windlight over and over again. For advanced photography, check out Visionaire Institute.

Sarah Tremor, owner and designer of Edelfabrik By Kiett Prince
Guten Tag E N V Y Readers! We are here with none other than the energetic and spry Miss Sarah Tremor the owner, mesh designer and creator of Edelfabr\k! She uses Blender, Photoshop and a little Black Forest magic to bring you original content for all mesh body types! If you didn’t guess it, she’s a German designer!
We chat, we visit her store, we exchange horoscope signs and of course, I fan girl all over her! Kiett Prince (KP): *smiles warmly* Yay! Welcome to the E N V Y Magazine headquarters! *turns chair around to face Sarah, pulling out interview recorder* Oh wait Sarah! Is this your creation that you're wearing??? *Sarah is wearing a sexy outfit that reminds Kiett of a
Tokyo inspired street style pink and grey ensemble that Kiett has not seen replicated anywhere in SL! Loving it!* Sarah Tremor (Sarah Tremor): Yes Kiett :) That’s one of my latest :)! KP: *grins* I love it!’ Sarah Tremor:
:) Thank you!
KP: You're so welcome! What is this look? Is this Edgy Punk? Sarah Tremor: Well, most of my creations are slightly provocative in the way of "accidentally sexy", but not without class. And almost any of it is mix and match. KP: Which is super important! I hate not being able to mix and match! Now, the name of your store? *Kiett tries to pronounce it using a German accent* EDELFABRIK Sarah Tremor: laughs at Kiett’s accent....[Adele-fabric] :). KP: Where'd you get the name from? *laughs at herself* Sarah Tremor: Yes, thats a German word, a 2 word combination it means "noble factory"
KP: I wasn't too far off track! German! *pats herself on the back* Are you German? Sarah Tremor: Yeah, I am German. *laughs* KP: Guten! I love my Germans! I think in your style, it is very modern German and street style Tokyo to me - very sexy, very creative and unique! 36
