The Miss Virtual World candidates are featured in BOSL Magazine this month, with official interviews. We were given a set of questions, and asked to submit a photo. This was mine - but it didn't appear in the magazine, as our official portraits were used instead. I spent a bit of time working on this one, and it seems a pity not to use it, so here it is on my blog.
It's always going to be difficult to decide what and how much to write for an SL magazine interview, as editing is essential to make the text fit the available space. I tried to be succinct, but of course, I wrote more than was needed. But one of the advantages of having your own blog, is you can write what you want, so I figure I can use as much space as I want to here, and show you the full interview.
1) Your full avatar name: Beatrice Serendipity
2) Country you represent: The United Kingdom
3) Why did you enter Miss Virtual
World?
Miss Virtual World is the most prestigious
and high profile modeling contest in Second Life. Even before I started out as
a model I knew this was an experience I wanted, and it was a dream to represent
my own country, the UK, in the biggest pageant in SL.
4) What hidden talents or secret skills do
you have RL/SL?
Apart from fashion styling and blogging In
SL I have a passion for interior decorating and can while away many a happy
hour tweaking my little tropical beach house!
And something few people in SL
know about me is I’m a real life drama queen! I’m a director in a community
theatre group. At the moment we’re working with a local children’s dance and
drama school to produce a Christmas pantomime – it’s madness, but a lot of fun
too.
5) How will you help other people in SL if
you win MVW?
I hope I would give inspiration to others
to pursue their dreams, whatever they may be.
The issue that is closest to my
heart is violence against women and children. I have worked for years with
victims of domestic violence, and I know the devastating impact of these
intimate, hidden violations. It’s an uncomfortable issue for many, and I would
like to help change that. In SL we can reach people across the globe. I believe
we can give voice to those who suffer in silence and contribute to real change
in the world.

And that's it! Of course I could have said much, much more - I'm sure we all could, but there's probably only so much of me you want to read in one dose!
