I was just sitting here thinking about what I have done so far in the world of SL Fashion - This is what I have come up with so far:
Portfolios photos by Focus By Divine and Ro8 Avro
Agencies I am currently with:
Arai (closing its doors)-
Several runway shows for them that included several designers in each show such as CD Benelli.
BlackOwl Factory-
Three runway shows for designer Acedia Albion. I am featured in her monthly magazine issue #9, November & will be on the cover of issue #10, December!
Divine Angels -
Print work for Alice Biondi & Divine Nitely
Look Elite Models-
Print jobs forI-Doll & Bax Boots as well as three runway shows two for Lemania Indigo & one for Malt Fashions.
Gypsy Wave:
One runway show and preparing for the next one.
I have just signed with Diversity Models & VooDoo Vogue.
I guess I have done more than I thought I have. I still have a long way to go!

Happy Friday!
Well, today is Friday - the human side of me had her doctor visit and all is OK so far. I got my referrals to the Neurologist and Rhumatologist so I can set those appointments up now. I am trying to set up another blog set up through this one just for the human side of me instead of boring you all with my RL junk here.
I need to come in soon and start doing my holiday preparations. I am thinking I want to hold a Christmas/Hanukkah party! I can't do one in 1st life so why not in SL?
Maybe I can find a few friends to help me.
Ok, I need to run to get some stuff in 1st life done so I can come in and have fun in my fun world!

Things are brighter in the morning sun
Well, I guess I had another anxiety attack for no reason what so ever. I called the attorney and, yes, my hearing was removed from the docket. She said that they forgot to unprogram my info from their appointment auto-dialer. Whew.
So now all I should have to worry about is my 1st life doctor appointment tomorrow and the fact it is my Father In Law's Birthday then, in 2nd life, practice for Diversity. EEP don't forget 1st life Doc appointment on Friday for me, hubby and my 4 year old Autumn.
Before I come in to my fantasy world - my meds are making me really sleepy. So I am off to take a RL nap.
Toodles for now.

Ups....No Wait....Downs. Or the Good, the Bad & The Ugly
Should I start with Good or Bad? I will just let it come out of my fingers and so it will be a mixed up jumble.
Some of you know some of my RL history - This is the bad otherwise known as the UGLY. I am not writing this for pity or sympathy - this is written so you may know more about me and what is going on today... Actually I think I will start with Good & Bad in 2nd life.
Today I found out I was not chosen in the casting call at VooDoo Vogue for the Winter Showcase. I was sad for about half an hour, did my little pity party and I was fine. There will be other shots. I was very very happy my friend Wen made it in, so that was GREAT! I love everyone there. OMG we get together and we laugh and laugh and laugh!
Another good was hanging out for a bit with my Friend and Boss Laura18 Streeter. This woman is extraordinary. And I am not just saying that because she is my boss and practically the only person following me on here. :-) She is one busy gal I get worn out litening to every thing she is up to. This weekend alone I think she said she had 5 events she is participating in! Please read her blog too. You can find it at http://laura18streeter.blogspot.com/. Not only does she model FULL TIME but she is also COO of Look Elite Modles.
Ok next on my ramblings I had my second practice today with Diversity, I think it went well. I learned a new walk. My group leader changed to Dunia and that is great! I love her even though we haven't really had a chance to talk to each other. She was in Arai with me and is in Diversity AND VooDoo Vogue. We were laughing today she thought I was folling her around!
All agencies I am in have been so terrific and the members fun to be around.
OK now back to the RL stuff. I have some hard times. I was in an Auto Accident in 1st life in the year 2000 and I have a ton of health problems from that. I have been trying to get disability from that as I cannot work. I was told by my attorney a month ago that he was over booked and had to reschedule my appt time from November 19 to another day. He said I did not have to respond to the letter from the court and that they would take care of everything. Well today- I had a voice mail from the court reminding me of my appt on Wednesday the 19th. OMG what am I going to do? I am so freakin gout. I have taken my anxiety meds hoping they calm me down. Anyone have ideas on ways to calm down? I tried breathing and I have taken two Klonipin .05mg.
I think if I don't sleep tonight I will be in SL just to try to get my mind off things. So if anyone wants to hang out and do something,,,, I am going to be purchasing more L$ I want to shop when I get this depressed.
So that last part is the UGLY.
Ok hubby said get off the computer for a bit and watch Chuck on NBC.

Mortified
OMG - Ok my DSL has been acting up and so has my video card. Leave it to Murphy to add a daughter who would not go to sleep into the mix and you have a recipe for major disaster.
Here is what happened: I logged into SL just to pay my tier yesterday as I did not want to loose my land. My internet had been down for three days for the most part. Well up and down... Not on long enough to play SL. I was only going to be in for just long enough to pay that bill - when Acedia IMed me and asked me to be in her fashion show, (This was at 6pm SLT - show at 7:30pm SLT--9pm and 10:30 my time) I had IMed her about my internet and my kidlet... but she still wanted me in the show... So I tped over there - bought the two outfits and put on my Ice Skates - Oh did I forget to mention that part?? Yes the show was Ice Divas - and skating was involved - I did not have the hang of the skates I Had so she had me pick up the ones the other girls were using... if it had been real ice I would have been on my ass.
So I practice a bit and learn how to do the skating - sorta - and now it is 10pm EST 7pm SLT time for my kidlet to go to bed and she is fighting me tooth and nail. I finaly get her into my bed and she falls alseep at 10:30 on the dot. I thought I was right on time for the show - I was having Video card issues with it overheating earlier but thought I had it fixed but NO!
My computer froze up I could not move - no one was moving on my screen - oh crap - Though I, not now - please not now. So I ended closed SL and when I went to open it again - turns out the DSL went out again. Evidently Windstream did NOT come out to fix it like they told me. I had no internet.
When I got internet back on it was like 1am. My email I recived IMs from BlackOwl and Acedia telling me to GO GO GO they were about to announce my name as the cover winner. I am so bummed. I hope she doesn't take the cover away from me and that she will forgive me.
Sometimes it SUX to be Dakk.

I love her clothes. She has a new one out that I am dying to purchase! Maybe when I get my monthly allotment for SL spending I will just have to pick it up. :-D

I cannot BELIVE it!
I have been accepted to Diversity Models! YEA! Arai is closing its doors and they asked everyone to leave the group so I guess I will do that today. It will free up a group space.
Rant time:
I need to go update my calander with what is going on over the next two months. I am going to be a really busy chick in 2nd life as well as 1st life!
I may write more - but for now this is it. I have a lot to do today in both my worlds so I better get moving or nothing will get done!
Rant time:
I am so frustrated with the fact LL will only give us 25 group spots. They should increase it to 50. Oh, I know, once everyone fills it up to 50 they will complain for more. I know 50 would be plenty for me. When I was really heavy into using Yahoo groups - I never really got above 37. Then it got a bit hard to follow.OK, Rant over.

First Post to Introduce Myself
Greetings to all you out there!
My name is Dakk McDunnough and this is my SL blog. Here I will talk about anything and everything that I want to about SL be it fashion, Modeling, relationships, great places I have seen, Runways I have done, new things in my Flickr, or just strange things that pop into my head! Well I may post RL stuff if my friends need to know otherwise it is SL and only SL.
First a bit about me:
My SL rezday is March 16, 2006. Of course I only hung out two days in the welcome center and when no one would talk to me - I left. A friend of mine convinced me to come back and try again so in Feb of 2008 I did just that and I haven't stopped since!
With me, what you see is what you get. It is a game, social interaction, and fun, and it is my real self you see, even if you don't know my real name or details about my real life. Yes I really am that crazy. I am very true to my friends. Even if I get hurt by you - I still love you and treasure friendship above all.
Next back to talking about Modeling:
I have been a Pirate and Belly Dancer. But now I am working hard to be a Model. Oh I know what you are thinking - she is trying to be DIVA... Nope not at all. To me being a model is not about me... It is about making the designers clothes look good so they sell more and ask me to model for them again. Anything above that is just the Cherry on the top. :-)
I am currently signed with:
Look Elite Models
VooDoo Vogue
Black Owl Factory
Look International
Gypsy Wave
Arai Models
and I do Freelance work
I have had most of my training on the job. For me it has worked out the best because I have learned Every Agency and Every Designer wants things their own way. You will be learning new walks all the time and if the agency you are with offers free training or training for a show I take it. I am of the thought that each show and each agency will to mold me into what they want me to be. I do pick up things quick - I keep notes on everything :-).
For Fun:
Well I have been working hard and really haven't spent time on fun. Once my SL BF left (that is a LONG story best saved for sometime when I have been into the Asti) I no longer go dancing as I found it quite difficult to waltz by myslef. I literally just end up standing in the middle of the floor with everyone else just staring at me. Quite embarrassing.
Now the other day when I went to the runway at VooDoo Vogue - a bunch of models and the owners showed up and we had fun along with an impromptu pillow fight. That was fun. :-)
That is about all for today. My RL brain is shutting down. LOL Time for a short nap before I come into SL so I make sense to everyone! Huggles and Poses!
