holds power, in much the same way a perfume does when an aroma brings us back to a specific time. Equally important, it transcends itself and becomes a classic, meaning it will look as good tomorrow as it does today. SS: Now let’s get into Landa et Luanda Mode. Tell me a little about its creation, including the choosing of the name, and what, if anything it stands for. LC: Creating the business of my dreams seemed like that next logical step for my life in SL, but I do believe one should stick to what one knows. In RL, in addition to my image consulting business, I am also the Director or a major French fashion house in my Country. So, creating a Boutique and choosing exceptional designers was right up my alley. This is how “Landa et Luanda Mode” came to be. Landa, being my name, means “Irlanda” which is Ireland in Spanish. I had a half Irish Grandmother and you can probably imagine how that goes. <Giggles> The name Landa honors her heritage. Luanda, is the name of my beloved daughter in SL, Luanda Alenquer, a beautiful baby I had earlier this year. It is also the name of a former Portuguese colony. You can now probably accurately guess the nationality of the father. <Laughs>
