BM> Hi Luana J Thank you taking the time to meet with me today. I understand that you live In Brazil in your real life. Can you tell us a little about yourself?
LB:> I am Brazilian; I'm 23, married to Arthur in real life and work together here in Second Life, where we met. We love what we do in SL, and we have great designs for the RL and SL in fashion, despite working in RL with Technology.
BM> That is so amazing. You met your real life here on Second Life. Now that’s a story I like to hear. How long have you been on Second Life?
LB:>I have been on SL 4 years and 8 months.
BM> What made you decide to get in the apparel business on Second Life?
LB:> I always wanted to do something in SL, especially in fashion, but never had someone who supported me, and when I met Arthur saw the possibility of realizing this dream that was in common, then take quality Brazilian fashion to the world virtual.
BM> What do you find the biggest challenges in selecting the designs and items you produce? Also are there any real life your designers That Influence Decisions?
LB:> Our biggest challenge is to translate the colors and the concept of quality Brazilian fashion for the second life, as there are limitations. There are designers but real-life influence, but none in specific, filtering out the best in each Brazilian designer and spent this essence for our projects.
BM> I'm sure you have seen many improvements in all the clothing that is Offered on SL. Do you Believe That the introduction of sculpties That has made possible? And now of course, with the new mesh options. What might we expect in the future?
LB:> The fashion in SL is divided into two phases: before and after Sculpt, it brought a wealth of details like never before existed, so as to mesh this will be a revolution for all, and I'm sure in no time memorable things will mesh. I am studying very hard to make wonderful pieces of mesh.
BM> The upcoming fashion show this week in Costa Rica will be showcasing your new Winter Collection. How did you go about selecting the products we will see this Saturday?
LB:> Firstly I am very happy for the invitation of my dear love Roe Woodford and the entire team at CRS. What we will be presenting is a mix of fashion parade autumn / winter with a strong inspiration in international fashion, where winter gives designers developing….. great creations, but with slight touches of our Brazilian fashion.
BM>Well that sounds very exciting. And I know for one, I will surely be attending. I would like to thank you for your precious time. Do you have the final words you would like to share with the residents as to what fashion tips or I Might Be seeing in the future?
LB:> First thank to thank our Heavenly Father, without whom none of this would be possible and also my best friends: Thalia and Roe and the whole team of CRS for their professionalism and excellence in performing their jobs. As for fashion tips, I will quote just one sentence of my muse: "Vista is evil and will notice the dress. Dress well and notice a woman" by Coco Chanel.
