Wow Our University of Classic W/ Style are way way booked I have lots on the waiting list for our coming January's Class.

We would like to thank you all from all the support that we are getting from all of you and thanks to all our Executive trainers here they are just awesome.

We have to add another sims for our school since our University is getting so big.  Everymonth we have lots of new students that are always amaze how CWS are so well organized.

We thank you all!
Simply The Best!

Take a look of all the great comments from our graduate students.

Prior to coming to CWS, I went to a modeling school, cause of it's fee.  I learned very basic runway rules and techniques and AO poses and  moves.  I also came to a show here and was chosen to be in a film...very exciting moment.  Through that I met DebbieDoo, you, and Steve.  Debbie and I hit it off right away and continued talking... so when I went to my first casting I called her for support.  She came to the casting call... and talked in IM with me.  She said that I wasn't ready, despite the fact I had graduated from an Agency.  She strongly suggested CWS.  I joined the CWS groups, and even the Ms. Hawaii 2011 contest, my first photo contest in sl.   Then someone im'd me and said, you are in the CWS agency?  And I said I'm considering it... and they said not to do it.  They said I would be just fooled into thinking I was learning how to be a model is sl.  So, I joined the UCWS just to see... I don't like sour grapes (American term meaning bad gossip because someone didn't do well) I like to see for myself.  WELL I am GLAD I did!!  Yes it is a bit demanding... and yes, it does require putting sl before rl or at least finding a way to make both work.  And yes, it is as serious as any online course could be, despite the fact that is in a so-called game.  BUT, it is worth it.  And, since SL  is an immersed society... it is as real as any online learning environment.  So, this school fit that standard.  I took it serious.  I'm glad the instructors did as well.  I am glad I met fellow classmates who also agreed.  And...I'm glad I didn't listen to whoever that was that had the gull to look in profile, see my group affiliations and offer her unsolicited advise.   Now I can put a positive comment in my profile.... and hopefully share the love I found at UCSW.
Would you recommend this class ? ABSOLUTELY!!  and already have to a few people.
 
      I am very happy to say I have attended several modeling academy and this that CWS University surpasses them all.  The knowledge gained here is awesome, the why things are presented is great.  The teachers are so willing to help and have great patience.  They understand what I think is important how to be constructive in criticism and how to help you understand a mistake and help you with steps to correct and move on.  I know there are things I still need to master better and I am confident that these ladies will always be here to help.  I come out of mid-terms and look forward to finals with more confidence than when I started class.  This has been a very, very positive experience for me.
Would you recommend this class ?  Yes, definitely.  I have also told several friends how great this university is and if they are looking for any place to take classes this is the place.
Chloe Panthar


OMG... What can I say, except it was the best thing it happened to me.  I am four times graduated, and in the so-called  best academies in SL.  So-called, yes, cause they teach nothing compared to CWS.  In CWS I am learning to gain confidence,  the most important thing for an aspirant.  No other academy will teach how to have a blog nor how to use an AO properly.  In summary -- CWS is incomparable.  Period.
 Would you recommend this class ?  Of course, and that is what I did to my good friend Chloe... lol... who now is beating me fast!
 Flora Stipe

It was amazingggg i loved every second. Trainers are awesome, acessible, friendly and verry professional.
They teach verry well not in rush, always with enough time to teach us, even after classes if it's need. That's great. Makes us feel more confident.
Would you recommend this class ?
Sureee I went to some fashion show in other places with the girls, and i got surprised how good we are comparing with professional models, and we still are students. If we are becoming a great models that means that the trainers were prefect :)
Izadora Pelazzi

The whole experience is amazing.  The time was tight and the entire course was fast pace but it's a good way to help us to learn about time management and how to balance ourselves with RL and SL.  I learned some new tricks and knowledge in SL modelling, photography, and have made new friends. What was really amazing , we worked as a team, helped each other out and practiced together, the result was great. I have never played an online game with all girls in a group and worked so amazingly well together, it really impressed me and this is an incrediable experience.  Thank you very much for the opportunity for having me in the class, I really appreciate all the knowledge I learn, new or old (good for review), the great time in class, and the inspiration of striking to be the best in any aspect on SL and even in RL.
 Would you recommend this class ?
Absolutely!

La reina de las culjanters



¡¡Viva el mal, viva el capital, soy neoliberal !!

¡Que viva la economía, que viva la CIA, que viva la guerra fría!. 
Soy la Bruja Avería, y aspiro a una alcaldía. 
Que mala jaja, pero que malaaa soyyy.
¡Por Saticón, Orticón y Plumbicón!, viva la legión, viva las revistas del corazón.
 Las cosas ya van mal, pero irán mucho peor.

Que vivimos tiempos convulsos no es ningún descubrimiento pero recientemente he sido conocedora de dos hechos que han cambiado mi visión sobre el mundo en el que vivimos:

1.- He tenido conocimiento de la existencia de la  Asociación Nacional de Culjanters, que por si no tienes claro a lo que se dedica, ellos mismos se definen de la siguiente forma (copio y pego): 

"Una entidad sin ánimo de lucro, compuesta por profesionales y empresas relacionadas con la disciplina del coolhunting. Su misión es la de atender y satisfacer las necesidades de sus asociados, proporcionándoles una serie de servicios, alineados con los principios y valores de la asociación, que se van adaptando continuamente a las necesidades que tiene los asociados en cada momento" sigue aquí.

Sólo este párrafo daría para escribir un comentario de texto digno de un 10 en Selectividad pero me pilla flojita. Otro tanto podría decirse, si estuviese inspirada claro está de la  Junta Directiva de la Asociación porque hasta hay blogueras en las altas cúpulas de decisión. Si no tienes un blogger contigo no eres nadie. Esto es así.

2.- El INEM, ese organismo del estado siempre al servicio del ciudadano, está formando parados para ejercer esta profesión de futuro. No me lo invento. Está pasando aquí y ahora, como dirían en un canal de noticias. Mi fuente (de la que protegeré su intimidad) me cuenta historias tan duras que vuestros sensibles mentes podrían quedar traumatizadas. Sólo diré que la primera entrevista de selección la hizo una chica con una palestina. Y hasta ahí puedo leer.

Todo esto ha hecho que me replantee muchas cosas y que haya decidido lanzarme, por fin, a seguir la ideología de esta verdadera culjanter de la pradera, la primera que se atrevió a decir en voz alta lo que todavía muchos de los que pretenden dirigir nuestros destinos no se atreven.

Con lo tendenciosa que yo he sido de siempre no sé cómo no me he dado cuenta antes.

De momento creo que empezaré con un consejo gratis a Elle.es. Chicas, no era necesario otro egoblogdefamosaquesecreesestilosa. Ese espacio lo teníais cubierto a la perfección con el de Eugenia Silva que sí es estilosa e interesante de verdad.

Suzy Parker - The Beatles (1970)

En 1966 John Lennon dijo que Los Beatles eran más famosos que Jesucristo, provocando una tremenda polémica y convirtiéndose a su vez en una de las citas más famosas del siglo XX y un ejemplo del poder de los medios de comunicación.

En esos mismos años, la modelo que partía la pana era Suzy Parker. Sus éxitos profesionales son de sobra conocidos: sus campañas con Revlon, sus portadas en las mejores revistas, su récord al ser la primera modelo en ganar más de 100.000 dólares en un años...


 
Lo que ya no tanta gente conoce es que cuatro chicos de Liverpool, que para estos años ya eran increíblemente famosos que incluso se comparaban con Jesucristo, le dedicaron una canción que debería haber pertenecido al album "Let it be" pero que finalmente se cayó del disco, pero que sí aparece en la película que rodaron con el mismo título.

El metalúrgico



Ha sido galardonado con el Premio Nacional de Diseño de Moda. Felicidades maestro.

Espero que las malenis fans de Audrey Hepburn celebren la noticia llenando sus blogs de fotos de los sus vestidos que la actriz lucia en "Dos en la carretera", aunque probablemente esa peli no la hayan visto ¿o sí?
De Barbarella ya os digo fijo que no dicen ni mu.


Haré un barrido y el lunes os cuento.

Lanvin-Castillo

Probablemente el nombre de Antonio Canovas del Castillo os haga pensar en los libros de historia del instituto y lo tengáis ubicado como un político de la etapa de la Restauración en el siglo XIX.

Lo que mucho no saben es que uno de sus descendientes, y con el mismo nombre, fue diseñador en Lanvin entre los años 1950 y 1963, sucediendo a la fallecida creadora de la casa, Jeanne Lanvin.


Nació en Madrid en 1908, y huye de España en 1936 al comenzar la Guerra Civil. Se va a París, donde rápidamente encuentra trabajo en distintas casas de moda, llegando incluso a diseñar complementos para Chanel. Entre 1937 y 1945 está en Paquin y Piguet y llega a colaborar con Cocteau en su película "La bella y la bestia". En 1945 Elizabeth Arden lo convence para irse a Nueva York, convirtiéndose en el diseñador de la casa y empieza a trabajar también en Brodway y para la New York Metropolitan Opera.


Pero en 1950 recibe la llamada de la Condesa de Polignac Jean, Marie-Blanche (la hija de Jeanne Lanvin), con el objetivo de revitalizar la firma. Su presentación es espectacular, con una colección de vestidos de satén blancos.


Fue tal el éxito y reconocimiento que tuvo su trabajo que su nombre paso a formar parte del de la marca, apareciendo incluso en las etiquetas como Lanvin-Castillo.


Supo imprimir su personalidad a sus creaciones, sin perder en ningún momento el estilo "Lanvin" de cortes entallados, faldas de vuelo y largos tobilleros, siempre con formas muy femeninas y definidas a pesar del volumen.

En 1961 le roba un aprendiz a Balenciaga y traslada desde Madrid a París a un chico dominicano llamado Óscar de la Renta.

Castillo permanece en la firma hasta 1962, fecha en la que la abandona para crear la suya propia. La lanza en 1964 y dura únicamente cuatro años, en los que trabaja fundamentalmente para clientas particulares, teatro y cine. Su último gran trabajo es para la película "Nicolás y Alejandra", inspirada en la vida del último Zar de Rusia, con el que gana el Óscar al mejor vestuario en 1971 (y que comparte con Yvonne Blake)


 Muere en 1984  a los 76 años.

Por cierto, Antonio Castillo no fue el único español que diseñó para esta casa. A finales de los 90, Cristina Ortiz también lo hizo.

5 consejos para conservar tus amigos en Facebook

 
 
Hoy, prácticamente todo el mundo está en Facebook. Como en cualquier otra cosa en la que la tecnología está involucrada, siempre habrá un pequeño grupo de gente que considera que eso no va con ellos (son los mismo que hace 10 años decían que nunca se comprarían un móvil o que hace 500 consideraban lo de la imprenta un invento del demonio), pero el estar no significa que la gente sepa comportarse.

No sé si mi caso es único, pero día sí, día también me veo obligada a eliminar "amigos" recién agregados ya que su comportamiento no se ajusta a lo que yo considero que son los estándares mínimos de educación que hay que mantener.

Las siguientes normas son aplicables única y exclusivamente para mi, aunque sé de buena tinta que hay gente que opina como yo.

Norma número 1. No solicites a un amigo al que acabas de agregar que se haga fan tuyo/de tu página web.
 Si acabo de conocerte, ¿me puedes explicar por qué debería hacerme fan de ti, de tu blog, de tu chiringuito? (táchese lo que no proceda)
Sé perfectamente dónde está el buscador de facebook, sé dónde está el botón de "me gusta" (el antiguo fan, que era infinitamente mejor... en fin). Si te molestases en ver mi perfil te habrías dado  cuenta que "me gustan" 1.392 páginas, así que puedes quedarte tranquilo. Sé cómo se hace.
Algo parecido ocurre con las invitaciones a los eventos, grupos, y juegos tipo Farmville. Si me interesa, ya lo buscaré.
En mi caso particular el incumplimiento de este concepto lleva aparejado el Flis flis*
Norma número 2. No etiquetes a tus contactos en fotos de tus fieltros/manualidades/negocios varios para varear el muro de todos sus amigos.
Resulta muy desagradable tener el muro lleno de spam por el simple hecho de que uno de tus amigos haya sido etiquetado en una foto. Ante esto no puedo hacer nada. Pero sí puedo evitar que mis contactos sufran este spam haciendo Flis flis inmediato a todo aquel que me utilice a mi para aparecer en el muro de todos mis contactos.

Norma número 3. Jamás de los jamases se te ocurra utilizar el chat del FB para decir algo del estilo "visita mi blog" y desaparecer.
Si el spam en el muro está feo (ese típico comentario de "Hola fulanito, visita mi blog "chuminadas y redcarpets"), lo de que te aparezca una ventanita alguien desconocido para decirte esto y piense que puede funcionar roza la locura.
Tampoco se debe utilizar el chat para que alguien te comente las fotos que ha colgado. Soy perfectamente consciente de que cuando agregas a alguien, esa persona cotilleará tu FB. Es algo lógico y comprensible y que demuestra interés por la persona a la que acabas de agregar, pero lo de pretender tener un tour guiado me parece un poquito el colmo.

Regla número 4. No uses los privados de FB para enviar las actualizaciones de tu blog o informar a 70 contactos del concurso que organizas.
Los privados son para cosas importantes y cosas íntimas que no puedes poner en el muro: teléfonos, cotilleos, propuestas de sexo salvaje,... por lo que resulta especialmente molesto recibir este tipo de mensajes. Esta molestia se agrava cuando junto a ti han avisado a un montón más de gente que decide entablar una conversación eterna con mensajes y mensajes intrascendentes.
Este tipo de contenidos se publican en el muro. Cuando se agrega a alguien que tiene un blog, una es consciente de que es lógico que esa persona hable de sus contenidos y además es altamente probable que me interese estar informada de sus actualizaciones, pero es suficiente con ponerla de forma pública ahí. Si tengo interés ya visitaré tu perfil para ir al link, no te preocupes.

Norma número 5. Sé simpático, cuelga links interesantes, fotos chulas. Comenta y participa.
Es el mejor modo de conservar una amistad, y facilita mucho el pedir favores si en algún momento tienes que hacerlo para promocionar tu negocio, tu blog o cualquier asunto profesional o personal que te interese en ese momento.


* Flis flis: acción por la cual se procede a eliminar una amistad al incumplir una de las normas anteriormente citadas.

Adivina, adivinanza



Sigo vaga para escribir, así que hoy volvemos a jugar a este clásico.

Piruleta para el primero en adivinar quien es este señor que está merendando rodeado de todas estas señoritas.

Edito con solución: MJ ha sido la ganadora de la piruleta por ser la primera en adivinar que este señor es Marcel Rochas. ¡Felicidades!

La santísima trinidad

 
 
 
 


 
 
 


Estoy sin ganas de escribir. Pero amenizo la espera con las tres mejores.
