( Angels ) Second Life® Fashion Blog

Who is Isobel DeSantis?

And why should you care anyway? Well, I like to know a little about the people I meet in Second Life so I thought I’d share something about me. And if this is of no interest to you, feel free to skim down the page or navigate away from it altogether - I promise I won’t be offended

I would describe myself as easily addicted and just as easily distracted .. the curse of always wanting to know more, do more, be more. For the last 6 years, consciously using the Law of Attraction has revolutionised my life - and most thanks is due to Abraham as expressed by Esther Hicks for their unfailing love and total congruency. If you want to know more about my beliefs and what really makes me tick, this site is the place to start. But be warned, it may not be what you expect!

Since 1 January 2007, Second Life® has become a passion, a source of joy, creativity and income - and the most intense love of my life. Punisher is my SL husband, my best friend and my twin soul, the one who really “gets” me. We met on our first day in SL and we’ve been each other’s second lives ever since. We’ve met in RL too, and although we live on different continents, we have a bond that nothing can break. He’s just opened his own store near mine on West Sunset sim, where he’ll be displaying his furniture designs. Take a look at ArchAngels next time you’re in the area

If you’ve visited my store, you’ve almost certainly met Rina, my amazing Chow Chow, and possibly Sian who’s an Australian Shepherd and the newest addition to our family. Rina loves to greet visitors and you can now pet her (right click on her and you’ll see the new option).

Boring facts: I’m female (really! :-P), I live in the UK and I teach in a further education college part-time.

What is (Angels)?

(Angels) is my baby, my creative outlet. I’ve been concentrating on shoe design so far, but I have plans to extend that in the near future.

(Angels) shoes are elegant and sexy, in lots of vibrant colours to co-ordinate and complement a wide range of clothes. They’re the kind of shoes I wear, or would like to wear in RL. And I’m just as much of a shoe freak there as I am in SL! I have 50+ pairs of shoes in my RL wardrobe (recently culled from over 75 pairs) and most of them are high heels.

Many of my designs are inspired by and designed to match my friend Constanza Volare’s dresses and outfits. We actually met while camping; Connie got stuck in a dance anim and I gave her my StopAllAnims rose. Then I seem to recall we would let each other know if we were by a lucky chair with the other’s name on it; I ended up with some very strange freebies, I’m not sure if Connie fared any better! lol

I remember very clearly seeing her first dress, Magic - I was stunned! I didn’t actually know until quite recently that Connie is a rl designer so I was more than a little impressed with her first effort. In contrast, my first pair of shoes were .. well, let’s say when I offered them to friends they suddenly found a reason to be elsewhere I was probably the direct cause of several crashes around that time, as they tried to tp away! I still have those shoes, I should probably post a pic of them. Or maybe not.

We collaborate sometimes as AlchemyAngels and we recently had a Fashion Show together, as you’ll see on the main page.

Currently I’m working on a new range that will incorporate sculpties. What I love about SL is that there’s always something new to learn

Connie and I are getting excited - well ok, I’m getting excited and I’m pretty sure Connie is too! Our Fashion Show is TONIGHT at 6pm SLT! We’ve rehearsed (yes, I NEED rehearsals to walk in a straight line! If you don’t believe me, ask Connie lol), decided on what we’re wearing and been given some great tips from Jewell and KandieKain of JM Models on how to beat lag. Now it’s time for us to put our Inner Control Freaks aside for a few hours and allow JM to continue the fantastic job they’ve done so far.

They did a wonderful interview with us (separately) and it’s posted here. The pic isn’t of us, it’s of two of the great JM Models - although Connie pointed out that if it had been us, in pose and attitude I would have been the one in red! Very true actually - she has me down pat

I’ll post the full invite later, but here’s the slurl and we’d love to see you: AlchemyAngels Fashion Show

Isobel ♥

Due to the problems in Second Life® today, Jewell Munro of JM Models took the sensible, professional decision to postpone our show until next Friday 11 April at 6pm. Connie and I are in full agreement and are very happy to be working with such a great team as JM

I’ll post the updated invite shortly and look forward to seeing you all on Friday!

Isobel ♥
