HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Hey everyone!

No, we haven't forgotten about you. In fact, Eira, Ivyana, and I are hard at work going through your awesome submissions.

Phew, let me tell you this issue is going to be jammed pack with some of the most creative and beautiful fresh faces I have ever seen. But in the meantime, keep on sending in your entries to us! We love seeing where your creative Muses take you.

*~* There is still time to get your entries in for the January/February 2009 double issue!!!! *~*

Fresh Faces will be hitting the stands as soon as it hits the stands, lol.

HOT OFF THE PRESS - December issue of "Fresh Faces"

Hello everyone!!! Make sure you are wearing some protective gloves because this month's issue of Fresh Faces is HOT HOT HOT!!! A hearty Holiday Congratulations goes out to Demy Seriman, our Fresh Face cover winner, and her photo entitled, "Sayuri."

Demy's photo captured the essence of what we hope to bring you every month at "Fresh Faces" magazine. Photos that captivate and stir the senses, that leave you wondering about the Artist who captured the photo, and inspire you to pursue your own passion for Photography and creative expression. Demy's photo certainly did that for me.

At this time, I'd also like to send out love to all the beautiful visionaries who submitted entries for the December issue. Your photos are inspiring. Keep sending your entries in to us at : http://www.flickr.com/groups/freshfaces/

You can pick up the December issue of Fresh Faces at our magazine headquarters, or send me an IM, and I will send one to you!

The Holidays are a time of reflection and of introspection, and I hope everyone will take some time to truly appreciate the wonders of the world we live in, to spread good Karma, and to celebrate all that is beautiful in life. Eira, Ivy, and I wish everyone safe and joyous Holidays!

*hugs and snugs* Arh

Eira, Ivy, and Arh - The Meeting

At the end of every month, Eira, Ivy, and myself get together and meet at the Fresh Faces office to discuss, rave, and celebrate your photo entries. Eira is always ready with mounds of chocolate on-hand (because everyone knows how much I need chocolate in order to maintain my sanity). We discuss each one of your photos individually, which means our meetings often last for hours! Talk about devotion to duty.

At our most recent meeting, I took this photo of the three of us in a heated discussion. If you look closely, you can see the chocolate cake that I am unglamourously shoving in my face, lol. I try to maintain my composure most times, but when it comes to chocolate, I have no shame. (From left to right, Ivy, Eira, Arhat).

I hope everyone is enjoying their adventures in-world. Feel free to stop by the Fresh Faces office anytime! We'd love to meet you all in-person.

*hugs* <3

I am pleased to announce that December's sponsor for the cover photo of $1,000L will be courtesy of the Nemesis Events Group. They are creating a living community for new and seasoned SL models. This is where a model can live, network, learn from other models, have access to photo studio equipment plus they organize runway shows and host events. What more is there to love?

Thank You and Congratulations!!!

I would like to send a personal heartfelt "thank you" to everyone who contributed photos to the Premiere Issue of "Fresh Faces." All the hard work and investment each one of you put into your photos is appreciated. You certainly made our task of choosing the photos for the publication very difficult, but hey, that just means that the beauty, creativity, and quality of your submissions were amazing!

Congratulations to Dunia, our Premiere Issue Cover Model, and to all the photographers and models whose photos were chosen. I will be sending each one of you a quickie questionnaire with a few brief questions we would like you to answer and then return to me. We will be showing your photos in the issue, alongside your responses to these questions in order that "Fresh Faces" readers can learn more about you!

If your photo was not chosen for this issue, I urge you to send in photos for the December issue. We are looking for a variety of styles, expression, and looks - closeups, body shots, Haute Couture, Casual wear, goth, Neko - you name it, we want to see YOU! When you post your photos to Flickr, please ensure you let us know not only who the Model(s) are in your photo, but who is the Photographer.

Thank you again to everyone who contributed their work to the Premiere Issue of "Fresh Faces". Welcome to our family, and hope to meet you all in-world.

<3 *hugs*
