CWS: "Play It Again, Sunrae" I Found Casa Blanca!

by Becky Kenaan

Fade from black, the final scene begins as Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) and Lisa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) say their final goodbyes as the plane starts its engines to leave for Lisbon. During that scene, at the last moment, Rick makes Lisa board the plane to Lisbon with her husband, Richard, telling her she would regret it if she stayed, "Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life." It is certainly one of the most famous scenes in cinematic history.  

But after seeing that movie again with my box of tissues handy,  I realize that sometimes life is not fair, especially as portrayed in the movie Casa Blanca. Poor Lisa, having to stick it out with that dork Richard when her true love is Rick Blaine. What a waste! 

B'wuana Becky's Travel Guide: Next Stop - Sweetheart's Jazz Club

But, having said that and looking to the bright side, I was able to make a killing at the roulette table just the other night.  Being the very impulsive person I am, I decided to fly away this time to visit a few clubs (maybe like Rick's Cafe) and see if there are any interesting men to meet.  I did meet a Captain in the Navy a short time back and he left me a message for me to rendezvous with him at a certain Jazz club.  Tall, dark, handsome... you know... Mmmmm.... Love a man in uniform too!  Always wanted to be married to a Captain.  They look so handsome in their uniforms during wedding ceremonies... 

Well, my friend, Bobcatt, offered to fly me to a few of these destinations.  He told me that he doesn't need much runway.  (I can relate to that also because I do model on an occasional runway... and its nice to know where to pose so that I don't land up in somebody's lap. HA!).  

This is me at the airport waiting for Bobcatt to arrive.  I brought along just a few things this time... Hmmm, let me go over my checklist to make sure I brought everything along.... " Yes, I need that formal dress, and this one as well...I better bring a few summer dresses also.. Oh, and these Bikinis that I got from LUXE by Paris fit nicely in my suitcase as well... Ohh... and some lingerie! 


OMG! And, how on earth did these little hats get packed in here, anyway?  It's always good to come prepared one might say, so I better keep  these colored "Willie Warmers" in my suitcase just in case... We certainly don't want to set off any alarms at airport security you know... 

I LOVE this FAY outfit that I got from Diamond Style!
The suitcase carries all of the "goodies" I need for this trip as well!

Well, here I am on this runway, with my luggage in hand and now ready to take off. I have all my cosmetics that I need also. 

Speaking of cosmetics, whatever your flair,don't forget that gorgeous eyes, kissable lips and healthy hair are key to your attractiveness here in sl.  As you know, our eyes must be perfect here... after all, they are the windows to the soul! 

Did you know that 40 percent of women say that  their eyes are their favorite body parts. (Sorry, Boys... We didn't survey you.  We already know your other favorites). 




Yep! That's right! Our eyes are one of the first features a man may notice, and after all we can express a great deal of our personality with our flirtatious ways.  But of all the features on the face, our lips certainly do the most when it comes to our love life. Not only do lips speak flirtation, they also take seduction to the next level. ~smirks~

So, for those soft and kissable lips you might visit Diamond Style and talk to Cristal... Their skin facials there have such sexy pout and can drive your man crazy and want to kiss you all night long !

...Mmm... So, with the just amount of lipstick applied you better be ready to pucker up for a nice romantic evening.

I can be an Alien Monster when I get Annoyed! 

We also know that a great hair morning can make our day.  If you were born a curly girl like me in rl, you can drop the straightener here in SL and explore different do's of styling!! If desired, you can be demure in appearance with your hair, or if you feel naughty and frisky, you can wear it wild.  I got my "Do" from Vanity Hair.  It is such a great place to shop for hair. 

"What do you mean "Red Sky Tonight, Sailor's Delight?" Hey buddy, this is my nickel making this phone call!!  You were suppose to pick me up at the airport when I arrived for our date, REMEMBER!!!   You freakin' Blankety-blank-blank, no good F#%*'ng A**h%l@!!! Yeah, well you know where you can stick this nickel also!!"

Oh, excuse me! I am so sorry... I just had to make a last minute call.  

I am out on the SL town tonight looking into a few nightclubs that might stir some fancy.  

No, no, no!...Please don’t take me for one of those girls.. You know, one of those wild nocturnal cougar types having fun all night, looking for the perfect man to spend intimate time with. However, if by chance that opportunity did come up,  I would certainly have to think long and hard about it (no pun intended).  

Well, I wanted to first go see this place called Sweethearts Jazz Club. 

The Owner, Shannon Bramlington, was very gracious, offering to pick me up from the airport in her nice Rolls after a minor misunderstanding I had about my previous ride to the club. 

Wow, now this woman must be doing something right!    She also seems to have a nice crowd here as well. 

My initial impression is that Sweetheart's Jazz  Club possesses a great "sense of arrival." It has a very elegant mahogany, white and gold winding stairway that leads you up then transcends you down to the ballroom floor.  The spaces created are also very wonderfully arranged and thought through as well.

Check out the guy up perched high on the canopy... A true adventurist (Unfortunately he was married.)

To my glee, I found the place brimming with social activity.  I was there for no more than a couple of minutes that I had men asking me to dance.  (So charming and handsome as well). There was certainly no shortage of single, available men eager to spend time with you having fun dancing. (Please note the special surveillance security people on the rooftops for your added safety.)

He blinked when I pinched Him

If you are on a date and choose Sweetheart's Jazz Club, there are some terrific places here within the club for both you and your date to take some very romantic pictures together as well. 

This guy that I am posing with was very accommodating when I asked him to take his picture with me for this blog.  Purely for promotional reasons I told him. I assured him not to worry about him being married and such, for this was just for fun and I wasn't interested in him. (BTW, his SL wife made a nice catch with this fine male specimen). 

My Manicurist? Does that mean I am cured of Men?

Hmmmm... I found that there are also some nice single guys that love to dance here with you ladies.  This other man even proposed to me while I was there! (Not really, but it sounded good so I lied!) 

I really liked and appreciated the overall ambiance of Sweetheart's Jazz, from the arrival, to the ballroom floor, to the stage, to the nice places to mingle and have cozy conversations - This place is full of first class ambiance and taste.  

Le Coeur Wedding Chapel at Sweetheart's - Just Lovely! 

And,ladies... Talk about one-stop shopping! Ha! 

Did you know that you can also tie the knot here as well? You bet! 

In addition to featuring the romantic dancing, live events, DJ's, and shopping they also have wonderful places there for weddings. Sweethearts Jazz Club has it all!

So, with such pleasure and delight, looking at my "Beck-O-Meter" I give Sweetheart's Jazz Club a delicious four creamy Ice Cream Scoops (with the "little married wedding cake couple" on top of each scoop! Ha!)

Classic w/Style Presents its March 2013 Doctorate Degree Models: 

Mr. Zigrich Zsigmond

Zigrich Zsigmond was born in December of 2006. Along his path here in Second Life, he has attended many schools here. deep inside him, Zig has always has a strong passion and desire to become a super model.  Well, Zig ... you certainly have that opportunity now!  Zig has also worked with TMA Creation at the Brasov City as a Live Model in store (SL), and he has also opened a furniture store called PARADISE FURNITURE. 

Through his passion and dedication, Zig continues to accomplish many of good deeds. As a footnote, Zig is also a finalist in "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE" this month. A humble man, yet very proud of his accomplishments, he has received many style contest awards at UCSW - while always knowing that his participation excels him to yet another higher level in fashion, while striving to become 'Simply The Best.'


Ms. Summit Beaumont

Summitt will celebrate her 6th rez-day in SecondLife on  July 4th.  She received her Master's Degree November 2012.  Since graduation she has been in many fashion shows at Classic with Style and enjoyed every minute of it while meeting many designers, fellow graduates and current students enrolled at the University.  

Summitt's goal is to absorb all the information she can under the tutelage of great instructors as she prepares for her career as a runway or print model.  

Her long term goal is to one day being able to teach her learned knowledge to other future models at Classic with Style.  Simply the Best!




CWS: Styling Avant Garde

Mr. Zigrich Zsigmond

Can you believe this man!! Wow!  Who is his hair stylist anyway? He is wearing a beautifully handcrafted Angel headdress by A&A.  It is so classy and it adds just the right touch of class and complement to complete his out fit.  

His Avant Garde statement reflects the epitome of elegance, taste, charm, and refinement with sensational flamboyance.  With the look of a white King Angel in flight, his apparel features some decorative, contrasting white stripes. with smooth silver lace material defined by various subtle wrinkles, layers, folds and shades.  I love this necklace on Zig. Its complements  his Avant Garde theme nicely.

Ms. Laura Reverie

OMG!  I am so jealous!! Laura is wearing this stunning Leonie dress by Pipins that I would kill for!  Angiliak Crystal created this gown as part of her Phantom range. Through some substitutions, Laura decided to take this dress in an even more avant direction. Yet she believes that it still honors the duplicitous elegance that the designer had intended. (I can't pronounce "duplicitous" little know what it means exactly.  Oh well, it is one of those $25 words that I need pursed away in my inventory for a rainy day,  LOL).

Anyway, she crafted an interplay of opposites in the design of this gown. Seemingly angular, hard, and rigid in its many intersecting shapes, this silver and gold toned gown suggests a metallic look, reflecting light off its shining surfaces. On the other hand, its forms are also slightly curved and rounded, implying more of an organic and fluid nature.  

The Aphrodite necklace and bracelet in silver by Finesmith echo the cyber flower-like quality of the dress's large petal forms and extending curls. The tightly fitting jewelry has metallic looking orchids on either side with dangerously curved spikes extending from their centers. It addresses the question of whether this outfit has the elegant sweetness of a flower, or if it is dangerous and more violent in nature. 

Ms. Rainy Sweetheart

"The Ice Queen cometh in her frost and rule. Hail to the speaker, Hail to the knower, Joy to him who has understood.
Delight to those who have listened
with flowing gown whiter then the surrounding drifts, all sides draping her statuesque figure crowned with dagger point spikes adding to her fierce presence.

Mortal souls tremble as her diamond white stilettos strike the earth. Eyes staring and piecing the heavy winter snow."  


Ms. Avery Firethorn 

Emerging from the deep sea to present her Avant Garde fashion ensemble, Avery presents this expression of art as fashion.


This innovative gown by Precious Restless of Boudoir depicts schools of fish swimming about an underskirt constructed of ruffles of shimmering sea water, with an overskirt of seafoam above.  A water splash prim adds realism and a touch of whimsy, and a glistening spray of water forms the bodice.  Shoulder and head ornaments are fashioned of crystallized water droplets, bubbles of animated water, and beautiful creatures of the sea.

Each element of her ensemble is a work of art by itself.  Combined they create a look any land-visiting mermaid would want to wear to the ball.  




Ms. Summit Beaumont

Summitt has selected an impressive Origami dress by Joy Fellini.  The attention to detail showing the paper folds of the Japanese art is prevalent in this lovely gown.  The hairpiece is included with the gown.  She has added Vanity hair, N-core shoes and Finesmith jewelry to complete the outfit.

Fellini Couture - Origami
Vanity Hair - Bonetta HP Black
N-Core Shoes - Tribute (white)
Finesmith - Nova Earth


Ms. Ebony Scorpio 

Ebony is wearing pastel colors - pink, blue, purple, with a touch of white. Her top is funky with boxed top, and a round collar.  She is wearing a short skirt with stripes, leaving some sexieness with her stomach exposed.

Ebony also is wearing half stockings topped with pastel color circles.  Her shoes are hot pink with spikes in the back.  Her hair is wild with two pony tails, adorned with a beautiful pearl decoration.  She finishes it off with a beautiful mask with awesome jewels, and a matching bracelet. Her Funky Look makes her want to  party and to show off her stuff!

Wow!  Was that very impressive or what?   This is just a small example of what the CWS students learn at our University.  If you attend our events and fashion shows you will see what fabulous models we have here.  Each one is highly trained and accomplished. We challenge you to come and join in on such fun with fashion and become "Simply The Best!"

"Oh, so everyone leaves now? Is that it?  

Holy Flamenco Dung! 

Who is going to help me pick up all of this confetti, anybody?  What about the bird droppings and the gum that Rainy stuck on the seats here? Am I responsible for that sticky mess also? Pfft!"  

CWS: Putting on the Ritz with Glitz & Style

by Becky Kénaan


Well, hello again everyone in SL Land!!  

This is your Blogologist, Becky Da' Boop, once again letting you know the juicy details on what just occurred at the CWS Styling Event called: 

"Putting on the Ritz, with Hollywood Glitz" 

First Up to Bat....

~ Ziggy-Zig-Jeno and His Friend, Clint ~

Hmmm.. Nice Suspenders

If there is anybody that knows how to put on a show, it is these two handsome guys! And, they do it with so much passion and creativity!  Both Zig and Clint's outfits were derived from the 1952 American Hollywood hit musical comedy called "Singing in the Rain" directed by Gene Kelly andStanley Donen. 

I have seen this Guy before at Chip n' Dales

The film starred Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and Debbie Reynolds. It is truly an epic American Musical Film Classic.

Both Ziggy and his buddy, Clint, had fedora hats, trench raincoats, umbrellas and retro-trousers and shoes.  Then they did the unspeakable and stripped for me!!! Wow! I can still hear the tap dancing resonating in my ears and well as other places in my anatomy!  

Okay...Rumor has it that there is Mafia today here at CWS. Yes, you heard it! And, this comes from a VERY reliable source!  Apparently, a mobster has infiltrated the group here and is wearing a very cheap disguise. 

Here is a police surveillance video that might aid us in determining who amongst us is "Louie the Rat:"

"Little Bunny Foo Foo Meets the Irish Mob"

~ Agee and her Partner, Fleet Goldberg~

I believe that Agee is Noticing
 Something Missing on Fleet's "Outfit"

Hmmm?  very suspicious...
No bulge. Oh..that's right... I almost forgot...
(Rabbits always carry concealed weapons)

Just Look at Those  Eyes...
Would you let him play with your child?

"Why, Yes... Of Course, Sir... No, no!! ...We absolutely did NOT use this Lil" (err.. I mean Big) Bunny for any animal acts that would have endangered the life of this Animal, Sir!"  

OMG!  Would you believe it!!! I just got off the phone with an Animal Rights Investigator about CWS using a Bunny Act in our show here!!!  Don't worry Sundrae, I have all of our bases covered.. no need to pull another rabbit out of the hat! 

You know, I really think that they are making a big "Stew" over this whole thing!  I NEVER said that I wanted another lucky rabbit's foot!  Never!! 

It seems that Agee and Fleet decided to do the Blarney Bop together (This is NOT what you think...you sick people!)

Pfft!  What I meant to say was that they did it with class and with a bit of an "Irish touch!" They cleverly added St. Patricks Day hats to their Hollywood Ritz outfits, with sexy white & black skimpy tops & bottoms, along with stockings showing their sexy legs and black shoes to frolic & dance with. 

Boogie & Best Friend, Danielle Mannequin

"Boogie & Danielle!" Wow! That sounds just like one of those Wild Animal Act Shows in Vegas, doesn't it? 

"Ladies and Gentlemen!!! Under the Tent Tonight we proudly present "Boogie & Danielle," who will be performing a death-defying act of strutting their sexy "Cirque" Cougar stuff across the dance floor of that swanky Bogart's Jazz nightclub in SL and still remain virgins!   

(Oh, that's impossible you say... Okay,  then "Nevermind!")

The Winner's for Today's Styling Bring a friend theme are...Vicky Yongbo says: 

"Boogie Gossipgirl and Danielle Mannequin!"

"That rabbit frightens me, Mommy!"

CWS: Roller Coasters vs. Merry-Go-Rounds - Is Modeling Really For You in SL?

By Becky Kenaan


What is it with these models and modeling here in SL anyway? They spend countless hours of work preparing their glamorous avi bodies for the runways here, with compensation coming largely in the form of clothing and gifts from the various designers here to showcase their latest trends and fashions.  

Hmmm....Is this fun or what?  You be the Judge! 

This is Me before Jenny Craig, having
Cosmetic Surgery, and Meeting Anrol

This is Me impersonating a fashion judge at CWS. HA!

It certainly isn't for your husband or boyfriend in RL because they just don't seem to get it or see the merit or worth you must invest here (in both time and effort).  

So, what are we missing here exactly? If this is something you really want to do, then do it with deep passion and conviction. Just be prepared that (along the way) you may find SL modeling much more more difficult than you thought it might be.  And, you might also discover that it isn’t what you expected at all - For you will find that modeling here is certainly no cake walk!

If you are not a model, then modeling might appear at first glance easy here. From many people's perceptions, they see modeling as glamorous work,  wearing the best of designer’s latest, trendy, and phenomenal clothing styles, and always looking great with fans fawning themselves all over you.  The fact is that modeling here in SL is like modeling in RL - you’ll be experiencing plenty of time hitting the pavement, sacrificing much of your effort with loads of rejection. Is this something that you are still interested in?

Hmmmm?  Now, where was I headed with this point anyway? LOL.  

Oh, I remember now!!  The answer to that question is simply a resounding "YES!"  As models, we do certainly experience our highs and lows, but we do actually experience a flood of attention with both glamor and excitement around every turn.  

I can best describe the feeling of being a model to the difference between riding a Merry-Go-Round or a Roller Coaster.  You have a lot more "ups and downs" but the sheer thrill of the ride is much more exhilarating than just going around in circles here in SL.  It is purposeful, and thus adds to your life experiences, regardless of whether you discover them in RL or SL.  Personally speaking, I have learned so much about clothing styles and the newest fashion trends  that I have readily applied this SL education to my RL wardrobes.

I am so very proud of my kids!  Such enterprizing Boys! 

Insofar as any income derived, you are better off pole dancing in some BDSM Club here in SL than begin to think that you are going to make a financial killing here. Pffft!

I can tell you this - you do gain a ton more self-respect working as a model here from putting on clothes rather than taking them off dancing the pole. 

The Big Three Questions You Need to Ask Yourself

To best determine if modeling is for you here in SecondLife, I believe there are three questions you must ask yourself:

Question #1: Why do I want to become a model in SL?

Each of us may have a different answer to this.  For me, it really comes down to expressing the creativity inside of me, my love in learning, my feeling of personal reward, and getting to meet & enjoy all different types of interesting people who share in my passion.  It is a Win-Win the way I see it, without a doubt!

Question #2: Would I do this even if I wasn’t being paid?

Hello?  Knock, knock!  You best keep your day job, Hun... This SL experience is NOT about making money.   I’m not at all suggesting that you will work for free here in SL as a model (and you shouldn't) unless it helps you get to the next level. Regardless of income though, you should do what you love to do here and the rest will follow given time and perseverance to become "Simply the Best."  Hey! That is SUCH a catchy title...I think that I will recommend that to Sunrae and Kiralyn.  HA!

Question #3: What if I looked into my crystal ball and low and behold I discovered that I wouldn’t fail at being an SL Model, would I still want to become a model more than anything else?

If your answer to that question was "Yes" and that you would still want to become a model more than anything else you’re already half way! All paths in life that lead to success first begin with a clarity in purpose. You are indeed on your way to becoming a Second Life Super Model!!!

But first, repeat after me loud and clear:

 "Oh yes, Becky!  I would love to become a model more than anything else in the whole world!

Why, even more than having a date with Brad Pitt!” 

Now tap your ruby slippers three (3) times....

"Tap, Tap, Tap!"

Voila!!! You are now officially ready to begin a new journey towards your new modeling career here in Second Life.  And, take some good advice from ol' Becks - Get enrolled at Classic With Style.  CWS will provide you with both clear vision and direction on just how to get there. Not only is it a great learning adventure, but it also SO MUCH FUN! 

So, climb down off that pole and go for it! HA!
