Strutting Your Stuff: Bikini Thong Theme

It's time to show off more of what I've been learning in my advanced modeling pageant class! 

This past week I was given styling requirements for the swimwear portion of a pageant. The explicit instructions were to wear a thong bikini with appropriate styling and to walk the runway, stopping at six marked locations and finishing with a bow and kiss to the audience.

Sounds simple? Well, first I had to find the perfect itty-bitty bikini that complements my figure. (I struck gold with this one!) Then I had to accessorize with jewelry, shoes and hairstyle that are appropriate for wearing to the beach. However minimal, it's the little details that make a barely there bikini look polished.



Last but definitely not least, I had to put together a set of eighteen poses with fluid animations for each stop on the runway. The ultimate perfection: natural, carefree looks and turns that show all this off. No one would ever guess how much work goes into making all this happen in SL! 

So all that finally accomplished, I teleported to CWS's red pageant venue and proudly practiced strutting down the runway. With a little imagination, I could picture showing off these skills to an audience. I give you a little turn, right here in this blog!

We were also asked to submit a description of our styling, which would be read by an announcer as we walked down the runway. While preparing my note card, I found that you can actually say quite a lot about so little clothing. Here is my pageant description:

Laura Reverie is wearing a flirty floral bikini created by Rosenwolf Designs that is just perfect for this summer. It has a fun print in gorgeous violet, purple and pink tones that are a splash of color on her skin. She loves to walk on the beach in this tiny bikini top and even smaller thong bottom, with strings that tie into little bows. Laura has pulled her hair into a loose up-do with long windswept bangs and cute curls that sway in the breeze. A white headband holds it all in place, with a violet hibiscus flower as an accent for her face. On her wrist, she wears a matching floral bracelet with purple beads and feathers. Her earrings, second bracelet and thin belly chain jewelry are all in coordinating shades of small beads. To complete the look, she wears stylish violet heels with white straps that echo her hairband. Laura feels pretty and ready for fun in the sun wearing this bright, flirty look!
