The Museum of SL Photography Presents "Fantasia" - The Light of Jazz Calhern and the Dark of Cienega Soon"
May 9 - 31
Opening: Wed May 13, 7pm
SL Musical Guests:
7pm - Senjata Witt
8pm - FrankLee Anatra
The Light of Jazz Calhern and The Dark of Cienega Soon. This exhibit brings this blending meeting just in the middle, not too light not too dark but a contrast enough to take on a little fantasy.
The flowers, particles, wings and light colors of Jazz's work is stunning. Her eye catching motion and feeling in each piece seeminly without effort, simply beautiful.
The dark elf Drow and Dragons of Cienga's work leads you to discover her way with emotion in times past. Her darker style evokes thoughts and dreams.
Both these artists have displayed together once before blending a well rounded exhibit pleasing to many, and again the magic of two in one, works perfectly.
Jazz Calhern
Jazz Calhern has been involved with Second Life photography and photo art for over two years. She has experimented with various types of photo art, from landscapes filled with colour and movement to richly-lit portraits. She has had extensive experience as a SL freelance photographer, and her work appears at various SL locations including her own gallery, Jazz By The Sea.

Senjata Witt
Like a salty fresh breeze blowing off the coast of the Pacific Northwest, Senata's energetic, melodic tunes lift you up and make you smile. Senjata (pronounced Sen-YAH-tah) Witt performs heavily Celtic and folk influenced "roots blues", interwoven with American, British, and Celtic folk musics, bluegrass, jazz, and just about anything else she can wrap in her unique acoustic style.
FrankLee Anat
FrankLee has been playing nightclubs and parties professionally in the Real World for over a decade. Whether it's a full band or as a single, he feels quite at home standing behind a guitar. Now playing classic rock, originals and contemporary hits with his acoustic guitar in Second Life, Frank invites you come and listen. If you like what you hear and want to know where he's playing next, you're invited to join his group, Dream with FrankLee.

The Autism Experience RevisitedRussell Eponym
Russell is an accomplished guitarist as well as a superb harmonica player - his finger picking is of the highest caliber and his eloquent vocal style, reminiscent of the finest British thespians of the West End Theatre District, is rich and engaging- whether he is singing one of his original compositions, or any of his superbly selected covers. Russell's original song "You Have no Eyes" which tells of diversity and acceptance, will be featured in his set at MoSLP.
Somerset Oh & Rhode - SOAR
Composed of Charles Somerset, Bright Oh and Experiment Rhode, Soar's original songs are heartfelt and sincere telling musical stories of people and places who have touched their lives . The honest lyrics and simple pure melodies never fail to reach the hearts of their audience. SOAR recently put a poem by Mari's son Chance, who is the inspiration for the "autism experience" exhibition, to music and "A Song for a broken soul" will be featured in Soar's set at MoSLP.
The Autism Experience Exhibition -
by Mariposa Upshaw, Curator Museum of SL Photography and Angel Dorei Museum
I am honored to present The Autism Experience exhibitions at the Museum of SL Photography and Angel Dorei Museum. Autism is very personal to me. My only child was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome at age 8; he is a shining spirit, a unique individual and my inspiration. This exhibition is not about ribbons and cures and research; it IS about awareness, understanding and acceptance; about compassion and celebrating diversity; about being unique, being "atypical", seeing the world thru different eyes and celebrating that we are all threads in the tapestry of life; it is also about isolation and misunderstanding that can occur when a non-typical person is expected to adapt to a "typical" society.
The artworks on display for the Autism Experience will be auctioned at exhibition end, with all proceeds going to Dreams/the Brigadoon Explorers and VAI - Virtual Abilities Inc, two groups that provide support to residents on the autism spectrum, and awareness and education to residents in general. Donation jars are onsite at both MoSLP and Angel Dorei for the run of the exhibitions.

What a great time it was at this beautiful show. The set was spectacular, the clothing divine, the models outstanding, and the crowd loved it! What more can you ask for? We have some amazing photos from Tillie Ariantho that you can view by clicking here, and also a video from Melonie Romano that you can see here. Be sure to stay tuned for more amazing show successes from SuperElite Agency!
So, Yas had sent out this PR...which I should have known was fishy since I am the PR Director, and I had no clue of this show! Haha! But it was called Claudette Cozen Couture, and I felt a little ill reading it as I posted it on another blog. It even got a few harsh comments form some readers! Luckily it was a joke, and there was a great party on our new sim Trashionista. Check out more of these hilarious pictures courtesy of Krise Shepherd.

SuperElite Agency is pround to announce our latest show, "Casino Royale". We are doing it up 007 style with SL's hottest models! Join us at Fashionista's Alcatraz sim and enjoy the amazing build from J&W Designs as the models share the creations of SYSY's, SF Design, and Staged. Stage choreography by Rena Mascot, hosted by Krise Shepherd and the runway adorned with:
Mimmi Boa's SuperElite Elite Graduate students will be doing their graduation show at 1pmSLT on Tuesday February 17th. Come down and see the latest fashions from OC Orage Creations, Indyra Originals and Total Betty. You can find us here!xxx
Isabel Brocco's SuperElite Elite Graduate students will be doing their graduation show at 6pmSLT on Tuesday February 17th. We hope you will join us for the second show to see the designs of Patrizia Blessed, Digit Darkes, and Zullay's Designs. Again, we will be here.

On Saturday 1/25, the Museum of SL Photography celebrated the opening of its first one-woman show - The Artistic Fashion Photography of Monroe Snook.
Monroe, an award-winning photographer and one of the initial six photographer's whose works were exhibited at the opening of MoSLP, is showing 18 images all of which are examples of her artistic fashion photography which is featured in the monthly edition of Modavia Fashion Directory where she is a leading contributor; in many high-end designer showrooms such as Haute Couture; Anubis Hartunin, and Indryra Seigo. She is also resident photographer and image consultant at Dreamz Agency.
Cylindrian Rutabaga, soulful singer/songwriter played half her set on guitar and half on piano, treating the attentive and enthusiastic crowd to a mixture of her original songs such as The Demon Song and Your Mind is a Labyrinth and Embracing the Tapestry together with great covers of the Dresen Dolls Coin Operated Boy and her beautiful rendition of the Leonard Cohen classic Hallelujah.
As Cylindrian played, she was accompanied by Cellandra Zon, interpretive light dancer, who provided a visually stunning show full of movement, color and light above the appreciative crowd.
Many thanks to the Ladies of the Girl Power show - Monroe, Cylindrian and Cellandra for providing a wonderful evening of art, music and dance.
Monroe's exhibit can be seen at MoSLP thru February 22.
MoSLP presents Girlpower!! the artistic fashion photography of Monroe Snook Jan 22 - Feb 22;From curator Mari Upshaw:
It is a pleasure for me to present Monroe Snook in the first one woman show at MoSLP, featuring Monroe's artistic fashion photography. Monroe is one of the original six artists whose works were part of the opening exhibit of MoSLP and invited to become part of the Museum's permanent collection. Monroe's photography is always rich in color, sets a mood and draws the viewer in to each piece's personal story. Her passion for photography is evident in her work and she continues to be innovative and daring and challenges herself to stretch the boundaries, constantly improving and growing. When you think you know Monroe and her artistry thru landscape or portraits, she surprises you yet again and becomes an innovative and much requested fashion photographer, elevating fashion photography to art. It is my honor to say that Monroe is a great friend and a privilege to present this new body of work at MoSLP.

Many of you know Monroe for her fine-art SL photography. Colorful landscapes, flights of fancy, or emotional portraits. But did you also know that Monroe is a leading SL fashion photographer - having taken shots for top designers of the top SL supermodels?
Fine Art Fashionista - Monroe Snook Fashion Photographer
Monroe's fashion photography style is distinctive. She has an eye and discipline to capture fine detail with her high-resolution images while downplaying backgrounds and settings. She is a pro at capturing emotion through movement and framing. Supermodels remark that a fashion shoot with Monroe is a work-out as she is a stickler for capturing the right angle/perspective/movement of a shot in such a way as to ensure the fashion is queen at all times!
Monroe's fashion photography may be seen featured in the monthly edition of Modavia Fashion Directory where she is a leading contributor; in many high-end designer showrooms such as Haute Couture; Anubis Hartunin, and Indryra Seigo. She is also resident photographer and image consultant at Dreamz Agency.
IM Monroe for her current rate card. She does individual model portfolios and personal portraits. Schedule directly with her for a consult.
