Sunni Interview 1) When did you join IMVU? I joined IMVU in 2010 when I was only 13 2) Why did you join IMVU? I joined because I was moving, and I saw IMVU on Google and I thought I would give it a shot, and not feel so alone when I move
3) Did you think you would ever be as successful as you are now? Oh, heaven no! I wouldn't call myself successful, but I never imagined having 3k followers ever in my life.
4) Who is your inspiration? So many people, I look up to a lot of IMVU creators and models. They know who they are.
5) What is something that most people do not know about you? I have a rare eye disease named Nystagmus, and I never met anyone else from IMVU who has the same condition. 6) Why did you start your Instagram? I started Instagram because it was a big part of Elites life, and it seemed fun, so I wanted to try it out. 7) What's your motivation? Elite/Cody.

Celeb Interview 1) When did you join IMVU? 12th August 2007
2) Why did you join IMVU? Curiosity killed the cat on this one. The sidebar advertising kept popping up on deviantart which I used to use to role play and I thought IMVU was a logical next step.
3) Did you think you would ever be as successful as you are now? No definitely not. I started creating because I wanted to make things for myself and for the longest time I think I was the only one interested in my catalog. I mean in reality is was not until the last couple of years that my catalog has had some products that have really taken off (aside from one or two really cringe worthy hairs and gloves in 2010). I don’t consider myself wildly successful even now because there’s still so many things I want to achieve and many more things to learn. I am always trying to improve my skills so I’m not sure when I’ll admit a major success.
4) Who is your inspiration? For creating? When I started I looked up to people such as WhiteDiamond (previously x0xDiamond) for her skins, 0oPariso0 for her iconic bubblegum icons and blonde hair texture. Over the years I’ve really looked up to creators such as Whims, MissC, MissMaya, MrsKitty, Sinderella, Anry, Lollirot and more. Each of these women is just so talented and pretty down to earth/ damn relatable on their social media. I’ve always wanted to maintain my friendly personality on social media as well. It’s good to see these successful creators have a human side. I think customers tend to forget that us creators are just regular humans who do the same day to day things as everyone else.
5) What is something that most people do not know about you? I’m honestly a pretty open book with people. I am always happy to share my experiences and opinions on topics. I guess when it comes to things people on IMVU wouldn’t know about me; I would have to say that I don’t have my drivers license. I have my learners but my family never pushed me to learn and my mum outright refused to let me drive her car because she rolled a car
when she was learning. So yeah I’m almost 25, I own a car but I cannot drive it on my own just yet.
6) Why did you start your Instagram? I don’t remember the exact reason, it was in 2015 and I didn’t use it for a while then came back to it when I had friends jumping over to Instagram from tumblr.
7) What's your motivation? The pursuit of knowledge. I love learning new things and trying new techniques with my creating. I’d love to learn how to mesh properly the meshes I’ve made in the past were questionable quality. I’d love to be able to make a mesh people would want to use. My main motivation is making things that both I and my customer base would want to wear. I stay true to my roots that way.
8) What is a interesting fact about you? Im not sure if people would actually believe it based on how I post on Instagram but, I’m extremely sensitive - I live with anxiety and I always feel like I’m annoying people. I worry that I come off as unapproachable or intimidating because I feign confidence to keep myself going. I actually like helping and talking to new creators
about creating but on the other side of the coin I’ve always been so shy to reach out to those who inspired me over the years in fear I would annoy them with my awkwardness.
