Elymode Groupie

I am a closet groupie, they say that admitting it is the first step in getting help. When I first logged into SL I was overwhelmed and very confused by it all, but being an extremely shy person in RL I forced myself to emerge myself in all things SL. One of my first experiments was the "modeling contest". I joined the JCNY group and of course misguidedly thought ok my avi is not too bad, why not? The smartest thing I did in this was look at the "official photographers" lookbook. I was omg! She can make me look beautiful! She being Elysium Eilde. I contacted her and she agreed to take some pics for me, first off the girl has skills cause she made my lil newb avi look good! The thing that made me a closet groupie was not only the fact she is amazingly talented but nice! We chatted of course during the pics, had some common interests and Ely gave me some skin tips (Tuli, omg! I love her!) for which I will be eternally grateful. Whenever I would run into her, Ely would offer a "hello" and "how's it going?" Do not tell her, but back then whenever she acknowledged me it was like "OMG! She just spoke to me in public! How cool is that!" ok I still think that, but please don't tell anyone. The thing is all this groupieness I had and still do, is because her talent still blows me away, also became a friendship that has lasted through a lot of ups and downs. My shyness keeps me from being in the mix of all things SL but there are a few people in SL that should they ever need me, all they have to do is IM, email, send up a flare and I am there. We don't have to "chat" non stop, sometimes we don't even speak for weeks, we take off from SL for some RL craziness, we keep tabs on each other, check on each other occasionally and if we ever need help hiding a body we are gonna be there when called. Ely is like that for me. So why the long history? Well I sort of took a sabbatical from SL and about the time I was headed out Ely started creating her Elymode line. The Elymode line is a real treat and about to celebrate it's One year anniversary! Trying not to sound too groupie-ish, but as a fashion obsessed soul, I have to say, I really, really love her creations! They are cute and sexy and fun and make me feel good when I wear them. I am modeling the new group gift coming out next week, and comes in a purple, blue and the green I am wearing. I think if you go and check out her shop you will be a fan too. Now I have to go and try to regain my coolness, and stop gushing like the groupie that I am.
