Letters From Scruplz
O
ctober already? As the saying goes; where has the year gone?
This year has flown. It is often said that time flies, but to whomever has their finger pressed firmly on the life’s fast forward button, I think I speak for everyone in saying we would all really like a shot at the slow motion setting. Just for while. Imagine it. Weekends that seemed to last a lifetime. Bliss. Yes, I get that by that rationale Mondays would take forever too, but I’m going to conveniently ignore that. People often say ‘it seems like only yesterday when…’, and if I was told that issue one of Scruplz was last week that would feel about right. Amazingly October represents the sixth issue of the magazine; our half year anniversary. If I was asked to describe the first six months in one word it would be simply ‘WOW’ (apologies for shouting, but anything less just doesn’t come close). It has been a journey of mistakes, learning and development. There is just nothing quite like taking an idea, watching it grow from nothing, and seeing it pushed, dragged and hauled by everyone involved into
fruition through sheer determination and hard graft. Where this magazine is truly blessed is in the dedication and commitment of our entire team. You hear that a lot though, business praising the efforts of the collective. To be honest, when I see statements like that it tends to incite the ‘whatever’ gut reaction. The thing is Scruplz literally would not have made it through these six issues without all that and more. The

really amazing thing is that it has been so much fun and we really hope that some of that shows through in every issue. For this special October issue we are delighted to turn the proverbial spotlight and draw open the curtains on the incomparable events that are the pageants of Second Life. To my mind, there is nothing that has quite captured the limelight of the grid the way the various major pageant events have. Maybe it’s the thrill of competition or simply the glamour and glitz of the occasion, but there’s no doubting the seemingly everlasting and ever growing popularity of it all. Quite simply pageants are a showcase for talent. For the contestants it’s a shot at the prize money, a chance to be noticed and to reach into the higher echelons of modelling. Beyond that though it’s big business. Each event involving the collective efforts of hosts, judges, sponsors, photographers, modelling agencies, set designers, the list goes on and on. This month it is our pleasure to present to you the collected thoughts and experiences from these events, from the inside out, featuring some of the leading personalities that have worked so hard to make the pageant industry the Second Life institution that it is today. Scruplz is incredibly grateful to all of those that have taken time out from their hectic schedules to give their incites. It is not often that an industry ‘bares all’
and we think it provides for special reading. We sincerely hope you have enjoyed the first six months of Scruplz half as much as we have. Six months down and a world of development and growth still to come. Barney Roundel Co-Founder / CEO, Scruplz Publishing

n real life, some form of beauty pageant has been around since ancient Troy and possibly before. The first formal pageant is said to have been in Belgium in the year 1888. Germany held its first pageant in 1909, and in America pageants have been around since the roaring 20’s when eight contestants competed in the first beauty competition that was dubbed Miss America by a local newsman when he said, “let’s call her Miss America!” Bow to the power of the media to affect change.
By Alianna Logan In Second Life, pageants have also evolved from humble beginnings such as one of the earlier pageants, Miss SL Tropics. And now we have Miss Virtual World, which is the most coveted title on the grid. Pageants are big business here in our virtual world. And why is this? Not only does it cater to the desire for women across the real-life world to be recognized for their avatars’ poise and beauty; or men to be acknowledged as one of the most exceptional, it also stimulates our economy, which happens to frequently mirror that of the real life economy.

ageants and competitions have farreaching effects in the way lindens change hands and for this reason, pageants are most likely here to stay, firmly entrenched in the way we live our second lives. Even if you aren’t one who is particularly fashion-conscious, the stimulation to the economy that these types of competitions provide affects us all. Contestants spend money on clothing, hair, jewelry, shoes, skins, and accessories in their attempts to be noticed by judges. Photographers earn money by taking the numerous pictures needed to apply to competitions. Magazines and other sources earn money through the lindens that are spent advertising pageants and design houses that are being aided by the pageant fanfare. The designers’ creations are purchased, spurring them on to create bigger, better, more creative items than before. Even those who lose in pageants still get much needed exposure for careers in the fashion industry, resulting in possible invitations to well-known fashion agencies or as models of top design houses. They also typically gain valuable friendships that that have the potential to last for the rest of their second lives. Pageants are win-win for all concerned, in the most practical terms.
SCRUPLZ has taken a specific interest in pageants because they celebrate the best in artistic creativity, from the set designers, to those who create the programs, to the designers who create special outfits for the contestants, to the contestants themselves who often outdo themselves in styling artistically in an effort to be the most stunning, or the most striking contestant on the stage. In addition to all the positive ways pageants in Second Life affect us, there are some negative aspects that we would be remiss not to mention. For those brave souls who are wondering if participating in a pageant is for them, or for those who believe they may want to undertake the tremendous task of running a large pageant, SCRUPLZ has been in touch with some notable people involved with pageants here in Second Life that have graciously agreed to share some insights on pageantry in Second Life. These are people that we believe are qualified to offer advice or share with you their experiences.
FROLIC MILLS
Owner of The Best of Second Life (BOSL) Empire, including the Miss and Mr. Virtual World Organizations You will most likely need to have been living under the proverbial rock not to have heard of Frolic Mills. He brings to Second Life countless high-profile events and programs along with one of the most widely circulated magazines on the grid, The Best of Second Life. He’s been running the Miss Virtual World pageant since 2007 and the Mr. Virtual World pageant is now two years old itself. It might be surprising to know that Frolic isn’t really a “pageant kind of guy,” despite winning male model of the year in 2007 himself and having participated as a judge or significant part of many “ Have fun, be creative, contests over the years. He be fabulous, be unique, began Miss Virtual World at and be yourself is my the suggestion of Giancarlo Takacs, owner of another highrecommendation! ” profile pageant, Miss Costa Rica. How does Frolic manage such large pageants with apparent ease? Well, he’s very good at delegating to a capable, robust staff and then he concentrates on the creative process of the show itself, which is where he prefers to be, the “orchestra director” directing the “best orchestra there is.”
WORLD.
Frolic says that, “MISS VIRTUAL WORLD is a celebration of content creation and their personal ability to combine elements to create a beautiful look! The competition is intended to be fun and friendly. A glamorous and beautiful-looking avatar with a caring personality, is perhaps the best description for MISS VIRTUAL Have fun, be creative, be fabulous, be unique, and be yourself is my recommendation!”

GIANCARLO TAKACS
Owner of Costa Rica Sims and the Miss and Mr. Costa Rica pageants Costa Rica Sims is one of the most beautiful, cohesive communities in Second Life. It is a collection of sims that mimic the beauty and culture of the real life Costa Rica. Giancarlo, along with his staff, have done an amazing job of building the charm and appeal of living in virtual Costa Rica. And two of the ways he’s done this are by running two large pageants, Miss Costa Rica and Mr. Costa Rica. He began Miss Costa Rica the same year Miss Virtual World started and Mr. Costa Rica started in 2009. He keeps his hands out of the details of the pageants themselves choosing not to get involved until the very end “ Take in when it’s time for rehearsals and to consideration the wish the contestants luck. He most time you will need enjoys seeing how the residents of Costa Rica Sims express their love to commit for the for their virtual home, showcasing pageant before you their pride in various ways.
decide to enter ”
The Costa Rica pageants are tied to the Virtual World pageants in that the winners of Costa Rica are automatically contestants in Mr. and Miss Virtual World. This is done in much the same way as the winners of the state pageants in America go on to compete in the Miss America pageant. Giancarlo says, “If I could give my advice, my first one would be that one should always remember Second Life MUST always be fun! Take in consideration the time you will need to commit for the pageant before you decide to enter, and be good at styling.”
GIELA DELPASO
Boulevard Agency CEO, Co-Founder of The Best of Second Life Magazine, and The Face of Baiastice Giela Delpaso was inspired to become a model in Second Life when she first saw Isabella Sampaio in Miss SL Tropics back in 2007. She felt Isabella was so glamorous and beautiful that she wanted to be just like her. Many models who have gone on to be successful can say something similar to what Giela shares. Pageants and their contestants inspire people to be better. She began working with Frolic Mills on Miss Virtual World (then Miss SL Universe) in 2008, helping to co-produce both the 2008 and 2009 pageants, and she feels the best side of pageants are the bursts of creativity that they generate, from designers who make special outfits for them, to poses and accessories made for contestants, the builders who create the stages, photographers, graphic designers, DJ’s, producers, TV crew, journalists, writers, and even the drama divas. Everyone takes part, she says.
“ ... never change your own style”
She shares the stresses of running such a large pageant, “…there are way too many things to do, usually you don’t enough time and SL doesn’t cooperate….it has never been easy but working with many talented individuals, which is my case, makes everything smoother.” The way she manages her time during pageant days in order to get it all done is, “Sleep deprivation, coffee, chocolate and use of those hardly earned spare days at work.” Her advice for someone wanting to catch the attention of the judges in a pageant is to remember that every judge cares for different aspects from the contestants. No one judge will care about the same things, “so try to study the panel of judges and try to imagine what you can do to call their attention but never change your own style.”

AMUTEY DECUIR
Owner of Bliss Couture and the Miss Bliss Couture pageant Amutey DeCuir is one of those talented designers who continues to release sensational creations month after month. Her gowns are both elegant and incredibly sexy at the same time. They are unique and unlike designs that can be found anywhere else on the grid. Because of this the Bliss Couture group, filled with Bliss Couture Dolls, has grown to over 9000 members. It is a testament to how much the brand is loved. Last year marked the first ever winner of Miss Bliss Couture, Mimmi Boa, and a fitting model to have representing such a stellar design house. This year, the search for Miss Bliss Couture 2011 is underway with four phases culminating in a January pageant. So how does Amutey manage to create gowns, hair and casual outfits while running a multi-phase pageant? Amutey shares that she manages to run her successful design house and pageant with the help of a fantastic staff, because without them she would not be able to do it near as well, if at all. Having them around to manage the business affairs for Bliss Couture is the reason she is able to concentrate on creating and she is grateful beyond words to them. Representing the design-house specific pageants (of which there are many,) Miss Bliss Couture, is a worthy title to seek.
REIGN CONGREJO Miss Costa Rica 2011
The beautiful and popular Reign Congrejo recently won Miss Costa Rica 2011 and she shares with us her thoughts on pageants and winning. Having participated in pageants as both a judge and a contestant, she has a unique perspective being able to see the experience from both sides of the stage. She believes that being in Second Life is about being able to meet wonderful people around the world making friends, and that pageant days come and go but the people will remember you more for how you carry yourself during your reign and if you are able to truly make a difference. Helping others brings blessings that continue on to those you help, she feels. Winning Miss Costa Rica has changed her life in a good way. For her, it is an avenue to reach and help many people. Having the title has opened up many doors already, enabling her to be able to give back.
“ ... to win you must lose ... ” The most stressful part of being in a pageant for Reign, was when one of the judges asked her a question and it’s required to think quickly, be very well spoken and poised while the audience, peers, and the rest of the judges watch how you handle it and what you say. Despite that challenge, she would do it again without any hesitation. Reign shares that, “…to win you must lose…when one door slams in your face, it just moves you closer to the one that is wide open for you.” Just as Mimmi and Miaa expressed, Reign believes that it is most important to be true to yourself. Trying to become someone else that you think might win a contest doesn’t work. You must be unique, she says, because there are so many beautiful avatars in Second Life. Confident but not conceited, humble and professional at all times while you are being YOU! Scruplz Magazine

MIMMI BOA
Miss Virtual World 2009, Miss Bliss Couture 2010, Miss Best Of Fashion 2008, Owner of Evane Fashion Agency, and Mimmi Boa Modeling Academy Mimmi Boa may quite possibly be the most famous supermodel and pageant winner in all of Second Life. She has a remarkable ability to market herself that anyone wishing or hoping to become known in the fashion industry should take note of. It is her feeling that winning an important pageant, such as Miss Virtual World, leaves its mark even after years of having won. After winning, it is then easy to become a judge in other contests, doors are opened and you are
“ Let drama out of your door and be ready to learn, share, and be supportive. ”
relegated to the position of being an icon. Mimmi shares that there are difficult parts to participating in pageants because there are times when contestants just “cannot do it.” There are many times real tears and nervous breakdowns do occur. It hurts her to see people suffer in an environment that is supposed to be fun. She has nothing but very good things to say about her experience as a Miss Virtual World contestant. Though she was already a successful top model when she won the title, it has increased her popularity and helped her to do good work for charities with her celebrity status.
“ ... to be a winner doesn’t mean only to be the most beautiful ...”
The most stressful part of being in a pageant for Mimmi is the time it takes to find the most appropriate and distinctive look to impress the judges and others viewing the competition. Being perfect and unique at every stage of the competition she feels requires good taste, attitude, and the constant quest to be ahead of the game. Her best advice is not to copy others but to let others copy you instead. That is what it means to be outstanding to Mimmi Boa. For those hoping to win a pageant themselves, she also says, “ Remember, to be a “winner” doesn’t mean only to be the most beautiful and elegant, but means to be intelligent, correct, reliable, ready to help, and positive. A smile works better than one million gossips. Let drama out of your door and be ready to learn, share, and be supportive. If you understand what I mean, I think you will be one step ahead to reach your goal!” Scruplz Magazine

MIAA REBANE
Miss Virtual World 2010 Miaa Rebane, as the current Miss Virtual World, is a stylish beauty with talent and wisdom that she shares willingly with the readers of SCRUPLZ magazine. She strives to be a good role model to other models by showing them the proper direction in which to go. It is her belief that if you have the right attitude, much can be learned from being involved in a pageant. “Pageants are about winning and by winning I don’t mean winning the crown, but being the best person that you can be, learning from each other, and giving it the best you can. If you have the right attitude, you will learn a lot about yourself through the process.” Her words say it best, “I would be lying if I say that there isn’t anything negative about pageants. By the end of a contest, there will only be one winner. There would be many who would judge you based on assumptions. My theory has been - whatever you do, don’t be tempted to join this negative back and forth. If you hear gossip about you, stay out of it. Stay above
“ My Second Life has changed completely since I won the title” the fray of petty politics. Maintain your professionalism. While envy and criticism can be hurtful, the best thing we can do to fight it is to remain professional
and to keep doing our job the best we can.” About her experience since winning the most coveted title of Miss Virtual World, you can very well see why it is so sought after, why all of the stress it entails trying to win can wind up being quite worth
“...the best thing we can do to fight
it is to remain professional and to keep doing our job the best we can.” it. “My Second Life has changed completely since I won the title. Just over a year ago I was a modeling student, never even dreaming of being Miss Virtual World. Because of the title, I have met so many amazing designers, models, artists, participated in so many prestigious shows, learned extensively about interfacing SL and RL to raise awareness about key issues, and have had the opportunity to speak publicly about being “real” to aspiring models. I wouldn’t change a thing – this has been a rewarding experience that I am extremely grateful for.” Her advice to those hoping to win a pageant is similar to Mimmi Boa’s, “My biggest advice to girls aspiring to be in pageants, or any contest for that matter, would be to not copy anyone. Be yourself. Take notes from others who are doing what you aspire to do; it is a great way to improve yourself. Be the best that YOU can be because that is when you will truly shine.”

DANIELE EBERHARDT
Mr. Sartoria 2010, Mr. Italia Vera 2009 We spend a lot of time talking about pageants for women, but there are pageants that exist for men as well, just far less frequently do they occur. This is relevant to the decreased amount of design houses there are for men in comparison to the amounts there are for women. Daniele Eberhardt happens to be one of those celebrated male models who has done particularly well in the fashion industry. He is represented by many agencies and has several titles under his belt, including DD STYLE Testimonial in October of 2009, SuperElite Modeling Agency Contest 2009, Mr. Italia Vera 2009, and now he is Mr. Sartoria 2010. He believes that contests give the opportunity to compete with other models and learn how to enhance your own best features. Winning Mr. Sartoria has been a great improvement for his career in Second Life but he is always conscious of remaining the same person his friends know and love. His personality hasn’t changed, in his opinion. In order to deal with losing a contest, Daniele puts it in perspective by thinking on his motivations and the points on which he should improve. He feels that defeats are very helpful for understanding his own weaknesses and that they help him to increase his skills. His advice is similar to that of the esteemed ladies in this article, he believes a good rule of thumb to follow is to be unique, not to wear popular clothes, but to be creative working on styling skills with strange and unique accessories that don’t exaggerate the look too much but gives good balance.
KAY FAIREY
Miss Virtual World Executive and Event Director Miss Azul 2010 Kay Fairey is well known in the Second Life fashion industry as a supermodel who has that special thing called, “it.” She works behind the scenes as a key part of the Miss Virtual World Organization, helping to put on one of the biggest pageant events currently in Second Life as an organizer and a judge. Recently she helped to organize Mami Jewell’s Miss Azul 2010, another great design house that has runs a pageant to find its Face. What she enjoys most about pageants is looking at all the gorgeous pictures in the beginning selection process, and what she hates the most about them is all the drama that inevitably tends to follow after a winner is announced. Her advice for someone trying to gain the attention of the judges during a pageant or contest is to try and think who the judges are and what they might appreciate, what is it they are looking for? She believes that many times simple may work better than trying to find the most outrageous outfits in an effort to be unusual and noticeable. Judges are not always looking for crazy or unusual, she says. It is more about knowing how to market the brand that is you. Kay says it’s important to take the contests seriously if you’re going to participate but don’t take them so seriously that you make it your entire second life. If you feel losing may make you miserable, it is better not to enter the contest at all. Her view is winning a contest is only ONE means of becoming a well-known model. She presents herself as a great example of this. She currently holds no titles as of this writing, but she is very well known.

PAYTON HERON
RUNWAY Magazine 2008 Model of the Year & Pageants Director for Costa Rica Sims Payton Heron has been participating in pageants since Miss Second Life Tropics, one of the first pageants in SL. She has had a long and distinguished career in the fashion industr y and she continues to be a prominent force, walking the runways in her trademark, elegant Payton Heron style as well as lending her real life talents in events production to assisting several well-known companies to produce major fashion show events, including RUNWAY Productions, Modavia, and now Costa Rica Sims Pageants. What she loves most about pageants is being able to help others, and what she dislikes about pageants is the huge time commitment it takes to insure complete success. Her future efforts in regards to pageants will be concentrated on producing or being a judge when her assistance and considerable knowledge is needed. As for how stressful it can be to organize a large event such as a pageant, she says, “Organizing any event in SL where there are many different personalities, time zones, and language differences presents challenge. As a producer, your job is to put forth an enjoyable event. This takes a lot of experience to deal with these issues as well as those presented by SL itself – lag, outfits attaching, and sim crashes. You have to have passion and a personal value of always doing ever ything the best possible. You also need to have patience and be able to explain the process to all participants.� Payton shares that she sets up a time and action calendar to help her plan and manage all the elements of the pageants and she sets dates and times for completion of tasks. She feels that being organized and planning ahead of time will insure a smooth production.
SUMMER DEADLIGHT
Second Life Supermodel, Popular DJ, Runway Kidz Founder, Miss SL Tropics 2007, Runner Up Miss Virtual World 2008 Summer Deadlight came into the fashion industry having won one of the first Second Life pageants, Miss SL Tropics in 2007, and she came in 2nd for Miss Virtual World 2008. If you haven’t seen her styling and owning the runways across the fashion industry scene, then you may have been to one of the countless parties she’s dj’d for fashion shows, rezz day parties, clubs, Second Life events, and more. She is also the Founder of the oldest model networking group still in existence, Runway Kidz, which is to celebrate its 3rd year this month. In the modeling industry’s “best kept secret” are some of the most well-known models and industry professionals still active in Second Life. Summer thrived on the excitement and activity of being in pageants and quotes Isabella Sampaio as having said, “…you don’t know who will win, you don’t know what will happen, but you’re on a really brightly lit train going anywhere and there are only a few others with you on the ride,” and no one else can have that same experience as that group of girls. For Summer, the most stressful part of the pageant process was figuring out the poses and praying that her computer wouldn’t crash. But overall, she believes her stress level was low compared to many contestants. She notes that anytime someone takes on a lot and becomes stressed out, there is the potential for health and immunity system break downs in real life. “No matter what we do, we have to take care of ourselves, whether it’s for real life or virtual activities. She says, “Competitions are hard because they are competitions… there is usually only one winner and it probably won’t be you, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be the most amazing experience ever. The journey is worth it, because once you reach the destination, it’s over.” About the friendships she formed during her early experience with Miss SL Tropics, she says, “I still talk to many Miss SL Tropics contestants to this day. They and I hold a very special bond that I don’t believe will ever be broken; maybe it will fade in time but will never forget it…I wish I could convey the utter wonderment of the friendships and close bonds that can develop from positive and interesting experiences.”

BLACKBARBIE BRAVIN
Personal Assistant to Frolic Mills, BOSL BlackBarbie Bravin, as the personal assistant to Frolic Mills, has a wealth of knowledge about what it takes to run a large pageant in Second Life. She’s been a contestant herself in pageants, a judge of several of them, and was the Stage Manager and Executive for Miss Virtual World 2009 and Mr. Virtual World 2010. She most enjoys seeing the pageants come together, and feeling the excitement from the crowd as the final votes are counted. “What I do not like as much is when some do not celebrate their achievements. Even trying out and not being chosen is an achievement because it takes courage to put yourself out there to be judged by all.” She agrees with Mary Anne Radmacher who stated, “Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I’ll try again tomorrow.”
“ ... it takes courage to
BlackBarbie says that running a pageant put yourself out there like Miss Virtual World is never easy, but it’s to be judged by all.” always interesting and challenging. The key, in her opinion, is bonding with new friends going through the same experience even though it’s tough being a candidate. “At the end of the day there can only be one winner, so try to enjoy the memories, treasure the newly formed friendships, and remember to celebrate every accomplishment. It all counts.”
TRALOVE PINAZZO
Beautiful Second Life Supermodel and Former Pageant Contestant As valuable as it is to have the advice and thoughts of pageant winners and those who run the pageants, it is also valuable to understand how it is to participate in these pageants from the viewpoint of one who has not won. TraLove Pinazzo is one such contestant who didn’t win the most recent pageant she was in, Miss Costa Rica 2011, but she gained experience that she shares with the readers of SCRUPLZ. Though she isn’t one to normally join pageants, she did join Miss Costa Rica 2011 because she is a long-time resident of Costa Rica Sims and she is truly loves it there. It was an experience she will never forget.
“ but you as a contestant go
While her love of Costa Rica Sims remains firmly intact, and she through so many emotions maintains sincerely that overall she that it’s hard to stay positive had a great time competing, she doesn’t believe she will ever enter a 100% of the time “ pageant again. This is valuable insight to have for those considering going into a large pageant to compete for a major title. In her words, “…at one point during the pageant I felt I was parading around the stage like a piece of pixel meat, and another time I felt hopeless. I understand what pageants are for and I also understand it’s ultimately a competition but you as a contestant go through so many emotions that it’s hard to stay positive 100% of the time. I hate to admit, but I did cry at one point. I am not sure why, whether it was for the loss, or from the stress, or just being tired. I am sure it all played a factor.” What she did gain from the experience in the pageant was new friends that she now talks to daily, and reconnecting with old friends that she hadn’t seen in awhile. She felt there was great support amongst the contestants in letting each other know about styling issues or meeting up to practice together. In all, she had a positive experience and is grateful to those she’s met over the course of her modeling career for helping her to achieve her goals.

t is a difficult thing to completely separate emotionally from the things that happen to our avatars and that is why it is important to understand what you are undertaking when you decide to become a contestant in a pageant or any major contest in Second Life. The rewards of winning are great, as you can see, but there can be some emotional difficulties attached if you do not win. Make sure to keep in mind
that it is important to be true to yourself, first and foremost, and to recognize it beforehand if you have the emotional fortitude and strength of character to endure the stresses of pageantry. If you don’t, then perhaps it’s better to sit in the audience and just enjoy the show! SCRUPLZ would like to sincerely thank the participants of this article for taking the time from their extremely busy schedules to share with our readers.
