earth and all ye need to know.” Beauty is not how you look on the outside or not
how you look on the inside. It’s a combination of both inside and outside. Of course
there is that saying beauty is in the eye of the beholder and sometimes when you get
up in the morning, you may look in the mirror and say “I look pretty good to be a
model.” You have the shape, the skin and the hair, what more does one need? Then
you meet two people like Ramsa Luv and Veracity Afterthought and realize
there is more to modeling than you may have imagined. That is the feeling I got when I met
these two individuals. One look at them made me think you’re seeing two people on
a European runway.

My first encounter was with Ramsa Luv who looked in colloquial terms, buff.
His hair is turquoise and his face is engaging. You cannot help but stare at it for
hours which might cause you to miss what he is saying. Sometimes it is difficult
because English is not his first language but he is passionate about modeling and
you cannot help but listen and realize that modeling is not just about putting on
some clothes and stepping on stage, it’s about owning the clothes that you wear.
Ramsa does this by checking poses, making sure body parts don’t interfere with
clothing and that prims are adjusted correctly. His area is style. This is why
Ramsa is the stylist for Evolution models. Not only that, Ramsa likes to better
himself. He is not satisfied with the ordinary. He projects this idea for himself onto the other
models. He is always looking out for the best quality shops to inform models where
they can find some great stuff.

At first glance, Ramsa Luv can be intimidating or appear that way. As I said he is
buff and his look is so artistic, that it made me look at myself and made me think I
looked like I just got out of bed. Also I felt I knew so little about the modeling
industry that he would be like a Greek God and dismiss me as a mere mortal.
However, Ramsa is the complete opposite. He has a genuine heart and a genuine
passion and he knows that his look is not something godly, it was something he had
to work for. He was also more than eager to share his passion with me. Also I’ve
been in Second Life™ for a year and a half, and Ramsa said something to me that
nobody has ever said and it was just two words: “Ladies first.”
portrait of Veracity Afterthought |
Veracity meaning truthfulness. And yes after seeing Veracity, she still lingers in
your brain. She is demure, poised, elegant, and sharp. Her beauty is as intimidating
at first as Ramsa’s is, but she is just as warm and giving as her partner. Veracity
owns a store called DeiTY™ which contains accessories. It has a cyberpunk theme.
She is also the new COO (Chief Operations Officer) of Opium
Evolution. Veracity also builds for Opium Evolution and brings her style from DeiTY.
Building wasn’t easy for Veracity either. She learned how to do it. Veracity
learned everything that she is now. From modeling to building and like Ramsa she
is constantly learning, trying to make herself better because that’s what being a
model is. Not settling for the ordinary but trying to be better and break those
barriers that bring you down. Veracity gives us the hope that we can strive to be
better than we are.
Currently both Ramsa and Veracity work for Opium Evolution. Along with
being the COO and helping with the design of Opium Evolution, Veracity does model
blogging along with her fellow models. Ramsa also with being the stylist for Opium
Evolution models is also the manager.

What is Opium Evolution? Opium Evolution started as Opium Fashion
Agency and was known for their innovative fashion shows. A lot of agencies started
to follow Opium’s ideas. As wonderful as this was, there was a problem. Things
started to become stale and brought on a lot of lag which didn’t help for designers’
clothes to be seen. Like Veracity and Ramsa, Opium needed to become better.
Opium needed to reinvent itself and needed to have some kind of revolution, and
that’s when Opium Fashion Agency became Opium Evolution. They
moved to very sleek, back to the basics, and more focused on the designer.
Opium Evolution has exclusive shows no other agency in Second Life has.
They have signature trunk shows. Currently the building is still under construction,
but I was able to see where the trunk shows would be and the static runway for
students in modeling classes. As well as the after party club (where Ramsa started
dancing). Designers come to them with new releases not yet on the grid. Opium
shows them there and people are able to purchase the designs two weeks prior to
release and at a discount. There’s also up close interviews at the trunk shows and
designer response has been, as Veracity said, “massive!”
Opium Evolution is now stronger, a large organization and they do work
big family. And Ramsa and Veracity still find time to model together.
It was a pleasure to interview both Ramsa and Veracity and now like Ramsa
would say it’s “Relax time.”
