I have to ask:  is this a new Events organization?  I have been in sl almost 12 years and never heard of it before.  and whether it is or not those prices are pretty steep.  Just so you know I am not intentionally picking on you... But I have been stung before with folks supposedly setting up fairs and events:  taking your money and then just doing a disappearing act.. I have also been stung  by event promoters who have gone through with the event but not done any of the advertising etc. promised so no one actually knew about the event.  I cannot speak for all designers, but I am very careful now what events I sign up for...especially now since there seem to be more and more coming out of the woodwork, a fashion event unless it has a big well known name is unlikely to gain much attention with so many going on out there now.  And I might as well add, that I would not sign up for any event or fair where I was required to send out my work to bloggers blindly.  I will use bloggers if and only if I know their work and think it is good..  sadly most are not, I have seen way to many probably lovely clothing items, displayed on distorted body shapes in the most outlandish poses, not to mention the busy backgrounds ..  the items themselves get totally lost in all that!   But please do not judge me for speaking my mind.. I am no new kid here so I have some reason for what I say.

No, this is an event hosted by CATWALK which is my modeling agency. However, the prices for stuff in comparison like penumbra etc are relatively more expensive. So in comparison to things I have seen or other fashion weeks thats actually quite reasonable. Its not an event in the normal sense like a simple retail event as there is a fashion weekend ( fashion shows) as well. This is only the second one. So yes it is new. No, I didn't take it as you picking on me you had valid questions I hope I answered.  =)

Also, about bloggers. There is a pool of bloggers which are mostly my models and/ others who apply to blog for the event. If you want to know my blogger standards you can look at my own blog:https://vannunderwoodsl.wordpress.com. As both a model and a blogger and someone who actually has experience in making lots of things clothing furniture etc.. I completely understand. It is not a *Blind group* it is a hand selected group. Mind you that would not stop anyone from using their own pool of bloggers. I am probably new to the forums but I also am old as dirt in sl terms so I hope this cleared some questions up. =)
