LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR THE CROWN to VANESSAJANE!

After months of waiting and suspense, LUXE Paris finally has its new ambassador! VanessaJane won the prestigious LOOK of the YEAR tiara and the impressive L$50,000 prize pool that went with it! In her wake, the first runner-up, TwinkieBean, and the second runner-up, WyattFrost!

PHOTOS by ALE CHUN

The winner, a pretty Scottish girl with dramatic elegance, is (surprise!) a pure product of the LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR competition. It is thanks to her first selection in the 2022 finale that she received a gift certificate from L'Amour University of Fashion and learned the basics of virtual modeling. From there, it only took her a few years to climb to the top step of the podium!

Vanessa distinguished herself interpreting the legendary style of fashion icon Coco Chanel. Using LUXE Paris clothing and Zuri jewelry as required by the competition, she added a bolero that she created herself!

"I love everything that is creative" confided this top model who is also a builder and photographer in Second Life.

"And I would love to participate in the creation of LUXE Paris fashion."

A wish that could well come true because LUXE Paris has a reputation for opening its doors wide for its ambassadors.

TwinkieBean & WyattFrost,

First and second runners up!

The first runner-up, TwinkieBean, made a name for herself by paying tribute to Zuri Rayna, the official jeweler of the LOOK of the YEAR competition.

"Everyone says Zuri has the charm and sophistication of a modern princess," Twinkie explained. "So I went for a regal, rich and decadent style!"

In a twist, WyattFrost, the only male to make it to the finals of this unisex competition, came in third place ahead of all the spectacular female beauties. Wyatt was honoring the unforgettable style of Frolic Mills, the SL fashion giant who was taken by cancer last fall. 

"I didn't have the chance to know Frolic personally but I know from speaking to others that he will be greatly missed" Wyatt said, featuring Frolic's legendary white hair and celebrity glasses.

"But his legacy, the solid and prolific roots of SL fashion industry, lives on in what we do today and what we create for the future.”

We must also take our hats off to all the finalists because their talent combined with their passion gave rise to a great fashion moment! Ame Morningstar, Aria Absinthe, Kitty Darkrage, EleanorJean, Girasolmx, Jude Tatham, Keira Rhapsody and Tilly Opaline were all magnificent. They presented LUXE Paris fashion with respect for the brand but also with innovative and impactful creativity.

An impressive production

It is in an impressive production by One On One agency that the eleven LOOK of the YEAR finalists walked before the jury for the selection of the new LUXE Paris ambassador. 

The catwalk, created by Lorez Aichi, was extraordinarily elegant, carved in white and gold marble and decorated with a Hayabusa garden by Mitsuko Kitory. The whole thing was a real showcase for the finalists and for LUXE Paris and Zuri fashion.

Now in its ninth year, the LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR competition has established itself as one of SL’s most prestigious fashion competitions largely due to its impressive and multifaceted jury, which ensures an open mind and a fair decision. The 16 LOOK of the YEAR judges select both semi-finalists and grand finalists, overseeing the competition from start to finish.

Composing the LOOK of the YEAR jury: Adonis Lubomir, owner of Swank Events and the famous groups Womenstuff and Menstuff, Avalon Chrome, LOOK of the YEAR 2020 and now designer at LUXE Paris, Blueyes Bonetto, owner of the Latin Quarter, sim host of the finale, and music director of LOOK of the YEAR events, Chemak Kamala, owner/editor of SL Confidencial, the Spanish community magazine, Dante Lisa, owner of Miss & Mister Elegance, Diana Balhaus, co-owner of One On One Agency, producer of LOOK of the YEAR events, Hunipet Delicioso, outgoing ambassador of LUXE Paris, Hyaecinte, LUXE Paris Communications director, Lanai Jarrico, owner/editor of SLEnquirer.com, Second Life’s longest-running news source, Lali Arbizu, co-Owner of One On One Agency and LOOK of the YEAR Finalists' Director, Mitsuko Kitory, owner/designer of Hayabusa, SL’s most beautiful plants, and creator of the luscious garden surrounding the runway, Naar Absinthe, LOOK of the YEAR 2017, owner of In-Nova Academy, mentor with a formidable reputation, Ponchituti Boucher, co-owner of One On One Agency, LOOK of the YEAR Executive Producer and living fashion legend, and the jewels designer Zuri Rayna, another gem shining on the fashion stars’ billboard.

We can watch the grand finale LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR again on SL4Live-TV channel on YouTube at LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR 2024 // Grande Finale #secondlife2024 #secondlife (youtube.com)

This weekend, try the ZEN METAL SeeKin test!

 

Step into the Fun with ZEN METAL SeeKin: Find Your Perfect Match on the Grid

Sebastyne Alpha, Creator of ZEN METAL and SeeKin, dares you find out the rules to a game you've been playing your whole first and second life. So, you think you’ve seen it all in Second Life (SL), huh? Tried every relationship tool out there and still not convinced anything new could make a difference? Well, I’ve got news for you: The ZEN METAL SeeKin test is here to prove you wrong. Recently featured in the SL Enquirer, this tool is about to flip your cynical view of virtual relationships on its head—and I dare you to try it. ZEN METAL SeeKin isn’t just another matchmaking service; it’s a game—a fun, engaging way to figure out who actually gets you. Whether you’re looking for friends, romance, or just someone to shoot the breeze with, SeeKin helps you find people who don’t just tolerate your quirks but actually appreciate them. If you think that sounds too good to be true, I double dare you to take the test and see for yourself. Why You Should Stop Rolling Your Eyes and Give SeeKin a Go

Yes, I know what you’re thinking: “Another test? Really?” But here’s the thing—ZEN METAL SeeKin is new, and that’s why it’s exciting! This isn’t about changing yourself to fit someone else’s mold; it's about finding out that 'being annoying' isn't a gender trait. It’s about finding people who see the world the way you do. If you’re tired of the same old SL relationship drama, SeeKin offers a fresh start. And let’s be honest, wouldn’t it be nice to connect with someone who actually understands you? But before you start planning your pixel wedding, let’s keep it real. The biggest danger with SeeKin is that your first match might feel like Mr. or Mrs. Right simply because they’re not entirely wrong for you. We’re so used to getting dragged into relationships with the exact opposite type of thinker that meeting someone who actually aligns with your values can feel like a huge relief. But hold your horses—it’s worth waiting a little while longer before you start picking out virtual china patterns. At the end of the test, you’ll get a special ring—your secret weapon for finding compatible avatars anywhere on the grid. Whether you’re hanging out at a club, exploring a new sim, or just shopping, this ring will help you spot people who actually vibe with you. It’s like having a backstage pass to the best connections SL has to offer, no matter where you go. What’s Next? Stay Tuned, and Stop Being a Skeptic! Look, I’m not going to spoil all the fun, but let’s just say SeeKin is just the beginning. There’s a lot more in store, and trust me, you’ll want to be in the loop. But for now, focus on having a blast with SeeKin—because who says finding your tribe can’t be a little bit of fun? Seriously, stop being so skeptical and jump in. Ready to Prove Yourself Wrong?

The ZEN METAL SeeKin test is now available on a dedicated parcel in Zindra. What is the best part? It’s free! Grab the HUD, follow the instructions, and get ready to unlock a whole new level of fun in SL. With your SeeKin ring on your finger, you’ll be able to find like-minded people wherever you go—making SL feel like the playground it’s meant to be. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s turn your SL experience up a notch. Jump into SeeKin and connect with people who make you feel like you’ve finally found your place. Go ahead, I dare you.

LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR COME SEE THE MAGIC of the GRAND FINALE!

If you've never attended a virtual fashion show, LUXE Paris is offering you a golden opportunity to perfect your SL education: the LOOK of the YEAR grand finale, which will be held on September 8th at 9:30 AM SLT!

And if you're already a fan of Second Life runways, you probably know that the LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR contest finale is one of the great fashion spectacles to see!

Created 10 years ago by LUXE Paris, the LOOK of the YEAR contest aims to find the best possible ambassador for the famous brand. But it's also an excellent excuse to create a great fashion moment.

On stage, eleven passionate and exciting finalists who will compete in beauty and creativity in the hope of winning the prestigious title of LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR and the impressive prize pool of L$50,000 cash!

TEN WOMEN FINALISTS AND ONE BRAVE MAN!
Ten women and one man! Indeed, the LOOK of the YEAR 2024 competition was, for the first time, open to men. If they seemed a little destabilized by the unisex formula of the competition, one brave man still managed to reach the final, among all these spectacular female beauties.

Starring on the 2024 LOOK of the YEAR runway: Ame Morningstar, Aria Absinthe, Catsmeow17 better known under the pseudonym of Kitty, EleanorJean, Girasolmx, Jude Tatham, Keira Rhapsody, Tilly Opaline, TwinkieBean, VanessaJane66 and gentleman WyattFrost!

Selected from hundreds of applications, the 11 greats distinguished themselves not only by their beauty and style but also by their ambassadorial qualities.

"The Judges' Brunch, which took place a few weeks ago, gave us a lot of information about the personality and communication skills of each of the finalists," explain Mika Palmyra and Parisian Skytower, the co-owners and chief designers of LUXE Paris.

"They all gave a short speech on their vision of the ambassador role and the jury also had the opportunity to question them."

AN IMPOSING JURY FOR A FAIR DECISION
Sixteen judges make up the LOOK of the YEAR jury and it is the same jury that selects the semi-finalists, finalists and winners.

"We wanted an imposing jury that was present throughout the competition in order to promote a fair decision," emphasizes Mika Palmyra.

The LOOK of the YEAR jury is also diverse with members who come from different creative backgrounds such as media, music, fashion and design in general: Adonis Lubomir, Owner of Swank Events and the famous groups Womenstuff and Menstuff, Avalon Chrome, LOOK of the YEAR 2020 and now designer at LUXE Paris, Blueyes Bonetto, Music Director of LOOK of the YEAR events, Chemak Kamala, Owner/editor of the Spanish community magazine SL Confidencial, Dante Lisa, Owner of Miss & Mister Elegance and CEO Elégance Model Agency, Diana Balhaus, Co-owner of One On One Agency, producer of LOOK of the YEAR events, Hunipet Delicioso, current LUXE Paris ambassador and LOOK of the YEAR crown holder, Hyacinte, LUXE Paris Communications Director, Lanai Jarrico, Owner/Editor of Second Life’s longest-running news source The SL Enquirer, Lali Arbizu, Co-Owner of One On One Agency and LOOK of the YEAR Finalists Coordinator, Mitsuko Kytori, Owner/Designer of Hayabusa Design, SL’s most beautiful plants, Naar Absinthe, LOOK of the YEAR 2017 and Owner of In-Nova Academy, Ponchituti Boucher, Co-Owner of One On One Agency and LOOK of the YEAR Executive Producer, and Zuri Rayna, LOOK of the YEAR’s official jeweler.

A MAGNIFICENT SPECTACLE IN A GRANDIOSE SETTING

Beyond the competition and the bouquet of emotions that goes with it, LUXE Paris will also offer us a magnificent fashion show in a sumptuous setting created by Lorez Aichi and enhanced by the lush nature of Hayabusa Design.

In the background, five fashion icons who have particularly inspired LUXE Paris during its twelve years of existence: Jade Pono, a beautiful and sparkling Japanese lady, winner of LOOK of the YEAR 2022, taken by cancer last winter, the living legend Ponchituti Boucher, nicknamed "The Mother of all Models" because she discovered so many runway stars, the fabulous Zuri Rayna, jewelry designer in Second Life since 2017 and official jeweler of the competition, the extraordinary Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel who still influences fashion half a century after her death, and the unforgettable Frolic Mills, great pioneer of the SL fashion industry, magnificent character, also sadly gone.

The finalists will interpret the fashion style of these icons with LUXE Paris clothes and Zuri jewels. The judges will evaluate the finalists on their presence on stage, the quality of their look, their way of presenting LUXE Paris fashion and their ability to respond to a specific fashion order, since the icons were assigned to the finalists randomly. The performance of the finalists at the Judges Brunch will also be taken into account to evaluate their communication skills. LUXE Paris is looking for an ambassador after all!

You are expected Sunday, September 8 at 9:30 AM SLT, for a morning of beautiful and thrilling fashion! Your limo will be waiting for you at www.luxeparis.online

LOOK of the YEAR A BRUNCH at LUXE Paris CASTLE

It was with joy, intelligence and humor that the 2024 finalists of the LOOK of the YEAR competition officially presented themselves, during the traditional Judges' Brunch, last month, in the Hayabusa gardens of the LUXE Paris castle.

In this grandiose setting, each of the finalists gave a short speech, explaining why they would make a good ambassador for LUXE Paris. They then had to answer the judges who kindly asked them several destabilizing questions.

The objective of this meeting was to allow the judges to familiarize themselves with the finalists' personalities, to evaluate their communication skills. Remember that LUXE Paris is looking for an ambassador for its brand, so it takes more than a pretty face to access the prestigious title of LOOK of the YEAR.

No marks were awarded at this event but the jury was invited to note their impressions in order to make an informed decision when voting for the grand finale on September 8th. In the meantime, the finalists will have modeling lessons and mentoring meetings to perfect their art.

The Grand Finale

While the Judges' Brunch was a strictly private event, the grand finale will be open to the public and promises to be a great spectacle. 

In a breathtaking setting designed by Lorez Aichi, the finalists' show will pay tribute to five fashion icons who have particularly inspired LUXE Paris over its twelve years of existence.

In the spotlight, the wonderful Jade PONO, LOOK of the YEAR 2022, who passed away from cancer; PONCHITUTI BOUCHER, a living legend in the SL fashion world, who trained a myriad of runway stars; ZURI RAYNA, the official jeweler of the LOOK of the YEAR competition and creator of the tiaras offered to the winner and finalists; GABRIELLE "COCO" CHANEL, this extraordinary designer who freed women from their corset and who still influences fashion 50 years after her death, and the unforgettable FROLIC MILLS, a great pioneer of virtual fashion, another very dear friend of LUXE Paris who died of cancer last winter.

Each of the finalists must present a look composed of LUXE Paris clothing and Zuri jewelry, inspired by one of these icons. The icons were assigned to the finalists according to a random process.

Ten Women and One Man

For the first time since the creation of the competition a decade ago, it was mixed, therefore open to men, and a courageous man managed to make a place for himself among all these feminine beauties. WyattFrost will indeed be in the grand finale with Ame Morningstar, Aria Absinthe, Catsmeow17, EleanorJean, Girasolmx, Jude Tatham, Keira Rhapsody, Tilly Opaline, TwinkieBean and VanessaJane66. The new LUXE Paris ambassador can indeed be a woman or a man, LUXE Paris offers women's and men's collections.

The LOOK of the YEAR  jury will evaluate the finalists on five main points: their presence on stage, the quality of their look, their ability to respond to a specific fashion order, their way of presenting LUXE Paris and Zuri fashion and their performance at the Judges Brunch.

It is the total of the scores awarded by the judges at the grand finale that will determine who will be the next LOOK of the YEAR and win the super prize pool of L$50,000 in cash!

An Impressive Jury

The LOOK of the YEAR jury is impressive and very diverse with its sixteen members from the worlds of fashion, design, media and music: Adonis Lubomir, owner of Swank Events & the groups Womenstuff and Menstuff, Avalon Chrome, designer at LUXE Paris and LOOK of the YEAR 2021, Blueyes Bonetto, owner of Latin Quarters, our sim-host, and musical director of LOOK of the YEAR events, Chemak Kamala, owner/publisher of SL Confidencial, the magazine of the Spanish community, Dante Lisa, owner of Miss & Mister Elegance & CEO Elégance Model Agency, Diana Balhaus, co-owner of One On One Agency, producer of LOOK of the YEAR events, Hunipet Delicioso, the reigning ambassador of LUXE Paris, Hyaecinte, director of communication of LUXE Paris, Lali Arbizu, co-owner of One On One and coordinator of the finalists, Lanai Jarrico, The SL Enquirer, THE web journal, Mitsuko Kytori, Hayabusa Design, the famous gardener of the LUXE Paris castle, Naar Absinthe, owner of In-Nova Academy and LOOK of the YEAR 2017, Ponchituti Boucher, co-owner of One On One and head of the LOOK of the YEAR mentors, and Zuri Rayna, the star jeweler of LOOK of the YEAR.

Interview with Uncle Sam- Darron Buckenberger Reporting..

 

It’s 4th of July and what better way to celebrate this day in Second Life than an interview with Uncle Sam. He’s like that stoner Uncle everyone has that is always at the annual BBQ and everyone just rolls their eyes and laughs when he begins singing his favorite rendition of “Yankee Doodle” during  Karaoke…

Interview with Uncle Sam

Darron: Happy Fourth of July, Uncle Sam! Thanks for joining me here at the Enquirer Headquarters. How’s the barbecue treating you?

Uncle Sam: Happy Fourth, Darron! The barbecue’s great, though I’ve had to dodge a few overcooked hot dogs. You know how it is – can’t have a party without a little char! And I must say, this setup is quite… festive.

Darron: Absolutely! Nothing says freedom like a well-stocked rolling tray. So, Uncle Sam, what’s your favorite thing about celebrating the Fourth of July?

Uncle Sam: Oh, it’s gotta be the fireworks! Nothing lights up the sky like a good display of freedom. And, of course, the endless supply of potato salad. You can never have too much potato salad – or too many nugs, apparently.

Darron: Speaking of freedom, what do you think about the state of the nation these days? Any thoughts on the lively political scene?

Uncle Sam: Well, Darron, it’s a bit like this rolling tray – a lot of pieces, a lot of mess, but somehow it all comes together. Everyone’s got an opinion, and that’s the beauty of it. Freedom to speak your mind, even if it sometimes feels like a never-ending debate over who rolled the best joint.

Darron: True enough! And what about taxes? People say you have quite the knack for collecting them.

Uncle Sam: Ah, taxes. The necessary evil that keeps this party going. I always say, pay your dues, but make sure you’re getting your fair share of the pie. It’s not always perfect, but we’re working on it – like trying to get that perfect roll without spilling any nugs.

Darron: Speaking of pies, any dessert recommendations for today?

Uncle Sam: Definitely apple pie – with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. And if you really want to impress, try a red, white, and blue trifle. It’s festive, delicious, and pairs well with a nice, relaxing smoke.

Darron: Yum! I’ll have to give that a try. Now, some folks think you hang out with some questionable characters. Any comments on that?

Uncle Sam: Well, every family has its characters, right? The important thing is to focus on the good – the people who work hard, support each other, and keep the spirit of the nation alive. And maybe we can all agree that a little less drama and a bit more cooperation would do us good. Sort of like sharing the last nug in the grinder.

Darron: Well said! And what’s your secret to giving those memorable speeches everyone talks about?

Uncle Sam: It’s all about timing. Start strong with a toast, throw in a few jokes, and when you see people reaching for another drink, or another joint, you know it’s time to wrap it up. Keep it short and sweet – like a good apple pie or a quick hit.

Darron: (laughs) You really know how to work a crowd! Now, Uncle Sam, any hidden talents?

Uncle Sam: Well, I can juggle flaming sparklers – just kidding! But I do have a mean karaoke rendition of “Yankee Doodle.” And I can roll a joint in under a minute, which I’d say is quite the talent.

Darron: Now that’s impressive! And finally, Uncle Sam, any last words of wisdom for our readers?

Uncle Sam: Enjoy the day with family and friends, eat well, laugh a lot, and remember – freedom is about enjoying the little things. And maybe skipping the heavy politics just for today. Oh, and always keep a box of Altoids handy – never know when you’ll need fresh breath.

Uncle Sam: Anytime, Darron! Happy Fourth to all!
