Give It A Swirl

Archive for the ‘Show Reviews’ Category

Well, found the first magazine review of February’s Fantasy of Fashion, from Oi Magazine.  Here is an excerpt:

There’s one word to describe the Fantasy of Fashion show produced by Swirl, a marketing firm dedicated to Second Life’s fashion industry. That single word is: WOW! This clever and unique fashion show opened over Valentine’s Day weekend and what a phenomenal event it turned out to be.

I’ve attended a number of fashion shows in RL and SL, but never one so creative as Swirl’s Fantasy of Fashion. Take a fantasy theme, mix in a generous portion of gorgeous fashion, stir in some eye-candy models on an elaborately set stage, and you get one incredible tasty dish of SL haute couture.

Saturday’s opening night, February 13th, was a magical one. A breathtaking fairy garden complete with cascading waterfall created an impressive backdrop for the event.

[19:11] Filipa Thespian: what did you think?
[19:12] Umberto Giano: I dug it… some parts of the script were a little cheesy for my tastes, but overall it was an ambitious project, well organized and executed, top notch talent, and enjoyable.
[19:12] Filipa Thespian: awesome lol thanks
[19:13] Umberto Giano: Let’s put it this way… I did not open a new window and read or perv profiles much during it.. like I do during most shows.. I paid attention
[19:13] Filipa Thespian: that was the plan yay
[19:13] Filipa Thespian: and can i quote you on the website? haha

Thank you everyone for attending Swirl on Saturday November 14th!  We provided 2 shows to cover the many time-zones represented in SL and I must say, turnout was amazing for both.  At noon, we had over 60 people in attendance at the brand new Pyramid Theatre on Park Avenue and at 5pm, over 50!  Here’s what guests had to say about the show:
