we set to achieve. I do believe good models push themselves to achieve the extraordinary and the unseen enabling them to advance on a positive level. Of course, all challenges should be positive. A.C.: What is the most rewarding part of modeling? M.B.: The most rewarding part of modeling is the enabling of ideas to be presented to the SL world at large and in turn presenting your own ideas you have developed through creativity and inspiration. We can all certainly learn from each other regardless of our experience within the industry and I find it rewarding to continually learn to develop, to push and evolve in my modeling career. A.C.: As a model, what do you believe is an important skill to have? M.B.: There are many key attributes which I feel should always be taken into consideration and they are made up of the most generic of skills. To mention a few: the ability to communicate, network and to remain open to new ideas and suggestions. These important skills are salient to any profession in SL and of course RL. As for SL modeling, looking great is quite accessible but a powerful individual will rely on their natural ability to present themselves true to the core.

A.C.: Aside from modeling, what other hobbies do you have? M.B.: My RL/SL partner Todd Anton and I often engage in various activities here on SL and one hobby that I particularly enjoy is photography. I do like to keep a check on the amount of photography work I do to ensure I remain continually inspired by each and every photo I take. I am also Todd’s personal photographer which I absolutely love doing because he inspires me so greatly and he has such an imaginative, creative vision. He has an incredible eye for detail too which keeps me on top of my game. A.C.: If you could do anything else besides modeling, what would it be? M.B.: Because modeling has always been such an integral part of my enjoyment in SL, I find it difficult to imagine doing anything else. In the future, I do foresee myself entering in the modeling management arena. At the same token, I am following the path I chose and I am enjoying it without question. A.C.: Do you have any favorite stores in SL? M.B.: My favorites are constantly changing in accordance with what inspires me at that moment, but I would have to say that there are some stores which have permanent tenure on my favorites list. CheerNo is definitely one
