Steering Committee: Nadia Felwitch Ariel Lingiuan Iolejanana Chajit Luscious Giano And so we begin our second year..... When we first decided to do this pageant last year I asked myself why would we ever want to undertake such a stressful and huge event? Yet we did and yes there where quite a few obstacles and hurdles we had to jump over and there where some tears and a lot of growing pains, but we where proud of our final work. So when my partners came around telling me its pageant time again, I asked the same question, “ Why are we doing this again?� But this time I knew what the end result of this pageant brings. Thanks to our hard work last year we where able to
help two very special people at a moment they each needed it with the prize money they won. And then I remembered the initial purpose behind this pageant. When we first started planning this pageant we did not want just another pageant where only the modeling world would be involved. We wanted something where all residents of SL would be able to partake in. It did not matter if they where a model, a builder, scriptor, dancer or just a dreamer. We wanted to give someone the opportunity to walk away from this pageant not only with a hefty prize, but also with a new experience and new friends that would add more value to their overall SL life. Knowing that our hard work can make a difference in someone else’s life makes it all worthwhile for us. So ladies and gentlemen I welcome you to our 2nd Annual Mr and Ms VR International Pageant presented to you by NAIL Productions and VR Style Magazine. We hope you enjoy the pageant and the beautiful contestants. Wishing all of you great success always!

Profile: Name : Amber Quinzet Rezz Date: January 21, 2010 RL Country : England What are your Hobbies, Activities in SL? Well hobbies include, shopping, shopping and more shopping, exploring new sims and creations on SL with my partner and we also like nothing better than a good game of scrabble :) (look its funny believe my hours of hysterical laughter) I also love spending time with my close friends. My main activities focus around my modelling, runway and print but in addition I am now an Instructor for SuperElite and also Assistant Manager starting to help with other activities within the Fasion Academy including lesson planning, etc. This really does utilise my real life skills in management and can be just as busy. What special talent do you have? Oh gosh, i dont think I have any special talent but people do tell me I write well, I have a good eye for detail and I am hugely supportive. What makes you unique? I think mostly my looks, the red hair and the freckles are unusual, especially the tones of red/ginger i like. I think this is how i like to be represented, as I am not one for following the crowds.
Profile: Name : Angelik Slade Rezz Date: February 9, 2007 RL Country : France What are your Hobbies, Activities in SL? Modeling, instructing, sharing time with my partner and friends, organizing shows, and a little bit of build sometimes :) What special talent do you have? In fashion world ? Being a living gallery *smiles* I believe that fashion is an art form, subject only to the limitations of the creators’ visions and talents. As model, my job is to showcase the fashion created by these artists and act as their living gallery to display their art. In my life, day by day, my talent is simply the person that I am, simple, honnest, sincere and with a real sens for integrity. What makes you unique? I know it takes more than a pretty look to attract people towards you and make them “admire” you, a model must make others admire what they look like and bring them desire the nices hairs you are wearing, or that gorgeous outfit or simply this orignal piece of jewelry...and I guess I have the personality for that. A model is not selected by beauty only because anybody can be beautiful in SL. Rather, each has a unique and distinctive appearance ; I try to stand out using my innate talent for style ; I am never satisfied with throwing on ready-made looks, that’s why I try to use a critical eye for detail and creativity to customize and differentiate my appearance from others.

Profile: Name : Leesa Donner Rezz Date: April 7, 2008 RL Country : USA What are your Hobbies, Activities in SL? First, I was an explorer and friend in SL. I made a lot of wonderful friends. I put together a number of homes.Then I stumbled on a business idea and gave birth to Truthball, a top selling game in SL.Truthball led to me opening five stores and one of them is a beautiful coffee house that is in SL for people to call home and make friends. Truthball is a getting-to-know-you tool, so I am helping people across the grid to open up and talk. Late last year, following a broken heart, I decided to fill my vacant hours learning how to model. I never dreamed how much work modeling was and I have learned a ton. It did more than heal me. It helped me to reinvent myselt and be open to constant change. What special talent do you have? Caring for my friends. SL can be a rough place sometimes, relationships are very important to me. I like to think that my friends in SL can always come to me or lean on me no matter what.

What special talent do you have? IRL? Eep. I’m a type A perfectionist <(O.o)> Sooo, I am a dancer. 15 years of dance experience in tap, jazz, and clogging. In between accounting classes in college, I drove to the all girls arts college to study vocal performance. I can sing anything from opera to show tunes to blues. If you get me tipsy, I’ll sing either raunchy blues tunes or I Believe in a Thing Called Love by The Darkness. I was a bona-fide, big-haired pageant girl so I can leap tall runways in stiletto heels. At 35, I can also still put my feet behind my head and play butt drums with my niece. At my age, I consider that a miraculous feat of daring. In SL terms, you can show me a garment, and the fully styled ensemble pops into my head full blown. Its a mental image thing with me based on an almost photographic memory.
