Collective Consciousness by KayJayCee
Do you think the way you see the world, your morals, your points of view you levels of acceptance, approval or disapproval are you all of your own doing? Each of us is a product of our environment. Our families, our neighbours, schools, media, society, cultures, religions all have a hand in shaping us. Even the types of foods we enjoy or see as common, might not be available, not even thought of as food or not be offered in other countries and cultures. They shape the way we view the world and what we are willing to learn and accept are from what we are presented with and what is accepted by the environment in which you live. As cultural and social boundaries merge and change and more over time, collectively, we assume different stances on our beliefs. For example, a stark and very personal issue for many is that of racism. The way some of our parents and grandparents in western cultures had to deal with racism from either side of the fence has changed dramatically from how it is today. It is not a utopic environment yet, nor may it ever be, but life and choices today are far different than they were 50 or 60 years ago
When I was in high school, further back than a lot of you unfortunately I’m sure, being gay was virtually unheard of. The concept of being bi was certainly even further from the norm, yet today, rifle through the profile lists and I will guarantee every third person puts their status as bi. Now despite Stan Lee’s graphic novels and X-Men movies, humans have NOT mutated to some new strain in the last 20 years, so what HAS changed? What makes us more tolerable, largely, of different cultures? What makes us more sexually explorative? What makes us ok with viewing things differently than they did 20, 30, 60 or even 100 years ago?
As we evolve, mentally more so than physically, we learn more about the world around us. We then in turn pass this knowledge on to the generation growing up behind us. We essentially do ‘the hard yards’ for them, try to assist them in not having to ‘reinvent the wheel’ with each new generation. We make living conditions easier, advances in health and medical science, new mathematical algorithms, explanations and inventions to make everyday living and life easier and better hopefully. So with this change, comes the advent for constant learning up up skilling of ideas and concepts. As new doors are opened to us, we become more open to having these new ideas presented to us. I always marvel at what my grandmother thought of the world. She was born in 1901. She saw horses and carts, cars, the first aeroplanes to man on the moon. The world changed in front of her eyes exponentially and to degrees only ever thought possible in man’s wildest imagination. Yet there in front of her, life was changing. She never did get the concept of answering machines or TV ads though! So if our society leads us to think the way we do, which is different from one culture, city, country or religion to another… then are we really who we think we are? Are we gay or straight because that’s ok in our society? Are we sexist or racist because in our society that is the norm? Why is it not the norm in another culture? Would you be you with your thoughts, dreams, loves, desires, dislikes and aversions if you were simply born and raised in another country, culture or religion?

Cougar Collection by GiGi FaASShion
Watch out for Yourself! The internet can be a great place to meet all kinds of interesting people. But what happens when the person you think you know isn’t who they say they are? When all you have to go on are the words being typed on the screen, how well can you really know that person? Sadly, many times people get strongly attached to someone they meet on places like IMVU and then get hurt very badly when things do not work out the way they thought it would. The thing to remember is that people will only show you what they want you to see on line. When you meet someone online they only let you see a small part into their lives. Once that person steps away from their computer, they step back into Their world. Just as when you log off and go back to your life. You are not there to
see all the little things that they do in real life. Sadly, many times I hear about people who lie, cheat, steal, and take advantage of others on line. You have someone you “love” that you find out has several accounts, has multiple girlfriends or boyfriends, is married in real life, and you feel betrayed. You must guard yourself against things like this. It’s a sad way to look at things, but until you are in their house or they are in yours, you do not have any claim on them. You can have to separate yourself from the online world and remember that over half the people you know are probably not who they say they are. They are here simply to use you, or anyone, and if they hurt someone, at the end of the day it will not matter to them. They turn off the computer, make a new account and do it all over again. This is not to say that you should not make connections, but you need to take your time before trusting someone with personal information. It is no different in the virtual world than in the real world. Would you tell someone you have had two dates with everything about yourself, let them have all kinds of money and access to your kids? No? Then why would you let someone you really only know by what they type into all corners of your life.

We are all the same in this virtual world as in real life all of us want to be loved. Love is something that has started wars and melted they hearts of millions over eons the search of love a true love. On here this virtual world you have a different insight on people you get to know what makes them tick their likes and dislikes turn on n offs. You get to know them on a level that takes longer I feel in real life. We have all had relationships that have not worked out for one reason or another on here. As each day goes by you search and look for Mr. or Mrs. Perfect day after day and week after week you still search. Is this something that can be searched for or is this something that end up settling for because you want to be loved that bad. Love a true love is something that finds you. You can look for years and go in and out of relationships and never really feel the true fit that you desire it just happens and when it does happen you will know it. Things that never mattered before are now at the top of your list you see beauty in everything and when you see these things that you never realized before something happens something amazing your heart grows not only in size but it grows with your mind and soul. A love that touches two souls they say is not as common as people would like to believe it is one of the rarest things in the universe two souls that by love are as one. Perhaps they have always and forever been in love life after life for centuries they “soul mates� will always find each other. When each others souls are together that were meant and created to be together it is truly a thing that is felt by all
by the energy that all who are around them feel. You think about this person hard enough and out of the blue you get a call or a note or somehow they know you are thinking of them even in the middle of a sleep they wake and just say I Love You that is what truly we all desire. I Love You those three little words are the strongest 3 words in the world. When True love hits they will make a man cry at the sight of his soul in the morning dew on a rose or a strong woman’s aura glow in the dark. We are in the month of Love being Valentines Day is just a day why do we go all out for just a day. Love should make everyday like Valentines Day you should always tell your love how beautiful they are and how they make you feel each and everyday. I say why wait until just this day make everyday a loved day with the one you wish to grow old with. So to all of you I say Happy Valentines Day To my wife I say I Love You Sunshine always and forever will never be long enough for me to love you I will love you through all eternity.

Indepth Interview with
NOW WE GET TO ASK ALL THE QUESTIONS!!!
Interview with Forge Magazine by Dante Alfieri DanteDAlfieri: What made you decide to get into the Magazine World? XXAngelicLeighXx: well I began writing at 13. Mostly to help deal with my parent’s divorce. After about a three month break from IMVU in 2011, I came back and was seeing a lot of people advertising and saying they weren’t getting sales. So I figured put the two together and help out everyone. LordDanteDAlfieri: What are your Likes? XXAngelicLeighXx: well I like music, reading, writing, the strange and unusual. LordDanteDAlfieri: what kind of Music Do you prefer listening to? XXAngelicLeighXx: I’m one of those it depends on my mood of what I listen to. But one of my favorite bands is Blood on the Dance Floor. My favorite song is bewitched. LordDanteDAlfieri: are you more of a Business lady dress or more casual? xXAngelicLeighXx: well when I do forge affairs I try to dress business like. The rest of the time I am a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl. LordDanteDAlfieri: For Forge what are your goals for one year, five years, and ten years from now?
xXAngelicLeighXx: well our year anniversary is coming up. Which everything that has happened has surprised me. It went far beyond what I thought it would. But my goals are to take it as far as I can and make it the best I can for everyone. I want to be able to see Forge on the magazine stands and smile knowing all those that work so hard on what they do are finally getting the recognition they deserve. LordDanteDAlfieri: How do you plan to achieve your career goals? XXAngelicLeighXx: Well right now the only revenue that Forge brings in is through the advertising. I pay for the rest or money is donated by our generous friends and clients. I’m dedicated to forge to put in everything I can to see it through financially. So after that, I’ll be working with a printing company to get it out on to the stands. I take everything I learned from working with other companies and follow many of those aspects with the publications. LordDanteDAlfieri: For your Magazine How would people do advertising for you meaning to help you out to achieve your goals. And to make Forge become the best and most popular? xXAngelicLeighXx: well, our friends at Dark stream and CNC radio are helping with voice drops. We ask to use word of mouth to let others know of the magazine. We also were able to put an ad on Geo’s forums for the magazine. We also have a Facebook page that we upload pictures too as well. So we encourage joining the page. http:// www.facebook.com/F0rgemagazine.
LordDanteDAlfieri: What do you consider to be your greatest strengths and weaknesses? AngelicLeighXx: well my greatest weakness is that I am a sucker when it comes to people. Regardless of how they treat me, I have a tendency to stick around in hopes that they will change. I have high hopes for humanity. Sadly there are those that will let you down time and time again. So I had to learn to let it go and not get depressed on it. LordDanteDAlfieri: How many are employed under the Magazine? xXAngelicLeighXx: eleven. Twelve if you count me LordDanteDAlfieri: ok that is good, everyone gets along with everyone? xXAngelicLeighXx: most of the time we all get along. I mean we have disagreements but nothing we can’t work through. I think of them all as family as I hope they think of me. LordDanteDAlfieri: Are you at your best when working alone or in a group? xXAngelicLeighXx: I can do both. But certain things are better when I am alone. When I do artwork, I like to put on music and just let the creativity flow. LordDanteDAlfieri: How do you think a friend or a co-worker who knows you well would describe you? xXAngelicLeighXx: oh lawd. I would be afraid to think or ask them. Loll I tend to be a joker at times. So sometimes I say oddball stuff. I would say they would think I’m funny, serious, and fun-loving. LordDanteDAlfieri: What motivates you?
xXAngelicLeighXx: surprisingly it will be two reasons nobody would figure. The first is rejection. I have this thing were I don’t like to take no for an answer so I keep trying. The second is my kids, both rl and virtual. LordDanteDAlfieri: very good How old are your kids in both worlds? xXAngelicLeighXx: well my real life kids are 9, 8, 6, and 5. my virtual kids are 20 and 16 I live with my older sister. So we have a total of six in the house with my niece and nephew. LordDanteDAlfieri: I see you are married who is the lucky Person in your Life? And how did you meet? xXAngelicLeighXx: -smiles- My husband, Sinful Leigh. We met on IMVU actually. He was originally part of the Sin Empire and went and opened another Empire named Demonic. I joined as his seer and bodyguard. We got to talking and realized we had a lot in common and really liked each other. Then in 2011, we joined in real life. LordDanteDAlfieri: that is very Romantic and congrads to you both in finding true love xXAngelicLeighXx: thank you. I’m lucky to have him LordDanteDAlfieri: Myself being 100% Sicilian I give u both my blessings in our country marriage is sacred
xXAngelicLeighXx: thank you. I believe very much in marriage. LordDanteDAlfieri: What qualifications do you have that make you think that you will be successful in your Magazine? xXAngelicLeighXx: I have been published by poetry.com for the past 16 years. I was poet of the year for 12 of those. I’ve been published in expressions magazine for a short story I wrote. I worked for the Denver Examiner as a parenting writer. I still work for Hub pages and write articles off and on for them. I love to write. It’s about the stories that you can tell. As my Daddy told me, you can only write what you know. LordDanteDAlfieri: In what ways do you think you can make a contribution to the community? xXAngelicLeighXx: I feel my biggest contribution is Forge. I want to give the community a way to speak that they have never had before. Many are not as eloquent with words as others. They speak through their music, art, and creations. So Forge is their way of saying “Hello world. I’m here.” LordDanteDAlfieri: Describe an accomplishment and what you learned from it. xXAngelicLeighXx: my biggest accomplishment is my kids. I’ve learned to be patient, to not be selfish, and to love unconditionally. They are everything to me. LordDanteDAlfieri: Did you go to college/ xXAngelicLeighXx: I have associates in criminal justice. I am currently in school with Full Sail University for bachelors in Graphic Design and media
LordDanteDAlfieri: Describe your most rewarding college experience. xXAngelicLeighXx: well it would have to be the whole experience. I realized that I was good at more things than what I gave myself credit for. It also brought me and my kids together more. We actually did homework together. It’s amazing to realize that you truly learn something new every day no matter how old you are. LordDanteDAlfieri: Why did you select your college or university? xXAngelicLeighXx: well Full Sail students get to work on projects like the Avengers. Most of the graduates go off to do really big things. If that helps the ones I am trying to help, then I am all good for it. LordDanteDAlfieri: What led you to choose your field of major study? xXAngelicLeighXx: well for the Bachelors it was Forge that did it. I realized I loved doing it. I wanted to make it better LordDanteDAlfieri: What college subjects did you like best? Why? xXAngelicLeighXx: well I like English. If I can avoid math I will. LordDanteDAlfieri: Not good at Math? xXAngelicLeighXx: oh no. far from it. Most of my family is mathematical. I went the other side of the spectrum xXAngelicLeighXx: the calculator is my best friend LordDanteDAlfieri: What college subjects did you like least? Why? LordDanteDAlfieri: yes mine to I hated math xXAngelicLeighXx: yeah math is the one I liked the least.
I was in pre-algebra in high school. So college math was like talking to an alien xXAngelicLeighXx: not happening. Loll LordDanteDAlfieri: yes I know they seem to not make any sense LordDanteDAlfieri: If you could do so, how would you plan your academic study differently? Why? xXAngelicLeighXx: I would cut out all the classes that everyone knows we are not going to use, like math, and get to the core classes LordDanteDAlfieri: Do you think that your grades are a good indication of your academic achievement? xXAngelicLeighXx: well I would say so. My associate’s degree I was on the dean’s list. So I hope to accomplish that at least with the bachelors LordDanteDAlfieri: Do you have plans for continued study after your degree? An advanced degree? xXAngelicLeighXx: I might. I would like to go as far as I can educationally. I want to show my kids that the sky is the limit
LordDanteDAlfieri: What extra-curricular activities have you been involved in? xXAngelicLeighXx: I was in the pep squad. The legal club. The writer’s club. And I was in student support services LordDanteDAlfieri: What have you learned from participation in extra-curricular activities? xXAngelicLeighXx: to run fast and do not look back. Loll. Jk. I actually learned that there are more scared and nervous people out there than I thought. We all need help in some way.
This is the extra-curricular activities that Ange never told us about... but we have our ways of finding it out
LordDanteDAlfieri: In what kind of work environment are you most comfortable? xXAngelicLeighXx: mostly casual business. I like being myself and not putting on airs and being something I am not. LordDanteDAlfieri: How do you work under pressure? Meaning u has deadlines and stuff do how do you handle the pressure? xXAngelicLeighXx: I actually handle things under pressure a lot better than when I am left with time. I usually get in trouble when I have time. LordDanteDAlfieri: What job have you enjoyed the most? Why? xXAngelicLeighXx: working for Sprint. I was a customer service rep. I was the only one on my team that had to get a planner to do call backs to customers. LordDanteDAlfieri: How would you describe the ideal job for you following graduation?
xXAngelicLeighXx: hmm I’d say Forge. Getting a nice building, get revenue in to pay the staff, taking it bigger. I’d be happy with that. LordDanteDAlfieri: How do you handle stress? Like do you drink, Smoke a Joint, have sex? xXAngelicLeighXx: I smoke cigs. Sometimes too much. Earlier I looked like a chimney LordDanteDAlfieri: What do you do for fun? Are you a Wild Person? xXAngelicLeighXx: well not really a wild person. More spontaneous. But I like cuddling and watching a movie with the FAM or reading. O.o family vacations are always fun LordDanteDAlfieri: Are you willing to travel? xXAngelicLeighXx: I love to travel. One summer I went from Kansas to Kentucky to Ohio and back LordDanteDAlfieri: Why do you think you might like to live in the community in which Forge is located? Meaning to that question is where your Magazine is located do u live close by or outside of the city limits? xXAngelicLeighXx: Well I live smack downtown of Denver. When Forge started I was on the outskirts of Topeka, KS
xXAngelicLeighXx: my hometown was struck by a tornado the night before Joplin, MO I’m from Reading, KS outside of Emporia LordDanteDAlfieri: What major problems have you encountered and how did you deal with them? xXAngelicLeighXx: most of them are relationship issues. My hardest one was my first husband. It was a domestic violence relationship. It was hard because my four kids were involved. No one would help us that were supposed to. So I did the only thing I could. Packed my kids into my van and started driving. My husband now was our savior. LordDanteDAlfieri: What have you learned from your mistakes? xXAngelicLeighXx: the biggest mistake I ever made was choosing between my husband and my brother. I chose my husband because I thought he truly loved me at the time. I haven’t spoken to my brother for eight years. So what I learned is that no matter what, family is always important. That maybe just once, they are right and should be heard.
LordDanteDAlfieri: Well we are coming up to the end of the line here Lady Angelic from here on will be flown in by Helicopter. Now bear with me on the flying Uni just gave me the book and said here ya go sunshine and well but I won’t kill ya not yet anyways xXAngelicLeighXx: so if we crash blame Uni right? -Makes mental note to kick Uni anyways for fun of itLordDanteDAlfieri: let’s see how to start this it is amazing they always make these things and they are in Russian here we go found it just says start u said u love the mountains and of course I don’t know how to land xXAngelicLeighXx: -holds on for dear life and vows to get Uni back-oh lordy -holds on to the seat and praysLordDanteDAlfieri: ah I was just kidding love to see people get scared. At least you did not hear the Italian music in the back round, you know the one where the guy is about to get whacked? xXAngelicLeighXx: -holds on to the seat and prays-
LordDanteDAlfieri: So on just a question here how would you rate your Interview by me? xXAngelicLeighXx: Very nice interview. You’re very easy to talk to LordDanteDAlfieri: Can you tell me about any of your achievements that were recognized by your professors, superiors, or classmates? And Thank you I was a good People person my Uncle Pauli taught me to be a people person. xXAngelicLeighXx: I think the biggest honor was by my classmates. In our yearbook we do what if project to the future they actually put me in as a famous writer. Didn’t even know they were paying attention LordDanteDAlfieri: What are some of the tasks that you find difficult to do? xXAngelicLeighXx: multi-tasking when kids are involved. Loll. I made a pb and j sandwich out of my homework once
LordDanteDAlfieri: Describe a challenge you have had and how you overcame it. xXAngelicLeighXx: wow. I’d have to say becoming domesticated. And I’ll let you know when it happens. Loll my mom raised me to be more business oriented she didn’t want me to get stuck in case of a bad relationship so cooking, cleaning, and all that, not really my thing thank goodness for my husband. He’s military. So he’s all about cleanliness and cooking I think it’s awesome that men can do that. Not many I know do. My Daddy does and my husband does I want my son to learn both so he can be as independent as possible

Looks like Sin works hard on the After Dark Mag
Our reporter now catches up with some of the staff members at Forge Magazine LordDanteDAlfieri: Good evening everyone I am Dante Alfieri with Geo’s Magazine. I came to do an Interview of some of you and get some pictures of everyone. xXSinfulLeighXx: Here is your interviewer KeilaDoll: Hello LeonKnightsHeart: Greetings BelladonnaOfDeath: Hello Bear. :)
LordDanteDAlfieri: In your own words what are your goals for one year, five years, and ten years from now in Forge? You can answer one at a time. LeonKnightsHeart: Well, I hope to improve my writing skills, to bring forth information to our readers in hopes that they learn something new with each article that we publish, to grant the liberty of knowledge and creativity, as for the the future, well I am one to not rush, so I would have to say that I can take it day by day and see where I end up.
BelladonnaOfDeath: My goal for Forge for one year would be to double the sponsors. My goal for five years would be to quadruple the readership. My ten year goal would be literally limitless. Granted this is more from a business perspective. As a writer, I would like to continue to improve over that span of time and maybe branch out into many subject areas. From a sponsor standpoint, my goal would be to boost my sales, and watch the overall quality of ads continues to improve and evolve.
KeilaDoll: I’m personally not one to set specific timeline goals, as I know that many things will change and interfere with the goals and situations that may come along in the future. However, in a year I hope to see Forge grow to the point each section is its own magazine as it slowly keeps coming to be. As I’m sure it will reach this point with the staffs continued dedication I have no doubts that it will take quite the obstacle to counter that. In 5 years I would love to see the magazine on paper and on shelves selling and bringing in many readers and fan bases. I really think Forge has the potential to grow and develop into something huge by this point. In ten years I can see the magazine having a corporate office and separate places set up for each section and staff groups. I have a lot of faith in the magazine and where it’s headed. I hope during all this time my own fan basis grows as well and help rake in readers just as much as the other sections do.
Guest_BraunShea: For own, I am doing the food court for Forge... I plan on bring my own twist to the recipes that are posted there. I am very much into bringing all cultures of food to post because I know there are all kinds of walks of life that read Forge... I love to cook and so looking up and looking for and making my own recipes is very much up my alley, which makes this job perfect for me to accomplish... I believe food is the best way to get to someone’s heart (through their stomach)... I enjoy what I do which makes me do it all the more better.
LordDanteDAlfieri: How do you plan to achieve your career goals? BelladonnaOfDeath: I plan to achieve my goals by doing all that I can to publicize Forge, improve the quality of the articles I put out and the advertisements I’m responsible for. I’m always new for new art editing techniques. It’s an on-going learning process same as everything else one wants to be good at. We do a lot of behind the scenes planning and have many things in the works that should draw in more readers, boost sponsorship and over all publicity. My goals go hand in hand with the overall growth of the magazine, so improving the magazine helps me meet those goals. Always looking for new art editing techniques. LeonKnightsHeart: Well I for one am starting back into college for English Lit to improve my speech and gain a better grasp on my life to achieve higher goals and to meet life’s expectations, and to hopefully achieve more than what is expected of me. I hope to bring that greatness to Forge, to bring it forth and rise up past what it’s expected to be, to make it one of the world’s most top leading magazines.
KeilaDoll: Personally I don’t think I can do it alone, I know the rest of the staff will be there to help me through everything we experience and any obstacles we have to overcome. I hope to find staff for my sections in the magazine and to grow the different perspectives on both the sections to catch the attention of all our readers rather than the small base that I have caught with mine and the staff’s current work. I hope to see the small size of my sections to grow tremendously and blossom with the upcoming staff and artists. I hope to plan events and shows online and eventually offline to help broaden the spectrum of readers. I hope to get many sponsors from businesses outside of IMVU, and the online sites that we already advertise for. I am already looking into a few places, and going to be talking to many more. This magazine is a lot of the heart and soul of our creativity and abilities. I hope that with our continued dedication we can bring it to be something more. I want to help spread knowledge of Forge across the world, and not just web sites. I want to continue to bring my ideas and thoughts into the magazine and staff.
LordDanteDAlfieri: Are you at your best when working alone or in a group? Guest_BraunShea: I must admit, that usually I am better at working alone, but for some reason I, for the most part, get along with everyone at Forge, so I don’t see it being a problem working with them in a group... LeonKnightsHeart: I am at my best in a group because my group is like my family, they are my inspiration and my guidance whenever I am at a point to where I don’t know what to do, however there are times I like to just plug in headphones, blare my music and go to town on. ChucklesBelladonnaOfDeath: I generally work better alone, but I am learning to work as a group now.
KeilaDoll: I tend to work better alone, but I can just as easily work in a group. While I find that with a group I can receive the help that I need when there is an issue, I also tend to be easily distracted and end up chatting, dancing, and singing around rather than working. While it can be fun to be silly and in a group, its better that I can focus on what work I need to get done. When I work alone, it’s easier to focus and schedule out the things I need to have done and get help with. I only work better alone because for my lack of focus otherwise. Not only that it gives me a chance to focus on my own creativity rather than what everyone else is doing, so that I can put more of my own work into the articles.
xXSinfulLeighXx: -puts a candy bra on bell’sXXAngelicLeighXx: -steals her big girl panties- now I am: D Guest_BraunShea: No uh -whispers quietly- I knew wear any... heehaw LordDanteDAlfieri: I will make sure that every man knows about that Braun and I will tell them where they can find you at. I am sure Our Single men and women of the magazine would love to hear all about that. Believe me I know a lot of people here 3000 for starters.
LordDanteDAlfieri: How do you think a friend or professor, Boss or Lover who knows you well would describe you? BelladonnaOfDeath: Oh my. You would have to ask that question. I’m afraid to answer. LeonKnightsHeart: They would describe me as someone who is outgoing, fun to be around, can take a joke, and always respects his friends and family, and someone you can truly talk to without worrying about it being told to others. Guest_BraunShea: Friend: Crazy... Professor: Intelligent Boss: Hard working Lover: I plead the fifth LordDanteDAlfieri: Yeah Right Braun Guest_BraunShea: I’m serious... I’m FUN! LeonKnightsHeart: In bed *coughs* loll BelladonnaOfDeath: I think I would be described as capable, diligent, and dependable and according to some people, sexy. KeilaDoll: Well as for how my peers would perceive me, is quite the interesting question. Many of them would have completely different ways to describe me. Some would likely call me random and strange and a bit “off the rocker.” Some might say I don’t take things seriously as I tend to be very much like that of a child in behavior. Then there are some who have never seen me at a relaxed unfocused point of view when they just don’t know if I exist outside of my work. But then there’s always the ones who say that I tend to be wild and overly crazy emotional about everything. Some see it all, and some only see a little, but I am just whatever I feel to be when the time comes, and when it calls for me to be that way.
LordDanteDAlfieri: What motivates you? LeonKnightsHeart: My family, friends, lover, and music Guest_BraunShea: My kids, my family and close friends... BelladonnaOfDeath: Family, friends and enjoyment of what I do is what motivates me... KeilaDoll: What motivates me is the ability to vent my creativity and emotions. The best way to let out my emotions and feelings with my art and writing. I depend on artistic release to keep my sanity through the falling economy that is today. I find motivation in the excitement of other people enjoying the work that I and the staff put out into the magazine. It’s such a joy and excitement to have people asking about the articles and when the next edition is coming out for them to read and see what we have put out.
LordDanteDAlfieri: How do you determine or evaluate success? LeonKnightsHeart: Success is cause and effect, if we do good, our work comes out good, if we do bad, it comes out not so good, this is all determined upon the fact of how we see our work, but to determine success I would say it’s the point in which you set out to accomplish something, you reach it or you don’t. BelladonnaOfDeath: I determine or evaluation success by my own pride in my work. If I produce something that makes me proud of the work that I put into it, I feel successful. Guest_BraunShea: Determining or evaluating ones success depends on ones opinion on what success is. In my opinion success is accomplishing what I put my mind to, being successful in myself is taking care of the ones around me that depend on me... Doing my job completely and to the fullest... And being able to smile at my accomplishments at the end of the day... KeilaDoll: Success isn’t about all the things that you achieve and do accurately to me. I find success to be the growth and knowledge gained in the path to a goal. Success couldn’t come without mistakes and low points, but they are still apart of success, and achieving goals. After all how would anything come to be without falls and rises in the mountains that we all climb and descend to reach the end of the road to our goals?
LordDanteDAlfieri: In your own words tell us what you think of Lady Angelic and Lord Sinful and you can say anything you want? LeonKnightsHeart: Fun to work with Guest_BraunShea: Angelic is very hard working and determined to get done what she puts her mind to... AND CRAZY!!! Sin is determined to make her crazier! But all in all they are my sissy and bro and I love them (when they’re sleep) loll BelladonnaOfDeath: They’re like family. They made me feel welcome when I came on board with Forge. They constantly make me feel good about my work. I know I can depend on them. They’re good people to know. They have great senses of humor and are very loyal as friends as employers. Forge magazine is there baby, and I’m glad they let me be part of raising it. KeilaDoll: To me Angelic is and always will be my love momma. She works hard on Forge and it is very important to her. She doesn’t give up when things get hard or difficult, and does everything she can to keep things moving along and in one piece. She has been a family member to me, and reminded me where I stand when I need it the most. She has been a very important part of the few months that I have known her. Sin my Love Daddy, I find him to be humorous a lot of times, but he knows how to be serious when he feels that something needs to be done. I don’t see him as often but I have as much respect for him as I do Angelic.
Kiela drew this lovely picture for us of Angelic and Sin
LordDanteDAlfieri: Describe the relationship that should exist between a supervisor and
those reporting to him or her. Like do you think they should get on every night or be more professional level?
LeonKnightsHeart: I would say every night so that you may learn more about who you are working with, so that you may have a stress free environment in which to work. Guest_BraunShea: I think it all depends on the supervisor... In most cases it should be on a more professional level, but with Angelic and Sin, there’s way too much fun to be had, and the work still gets done right... BelladonnaOfDeath: The relationship between a supervisor and an employee should be a professional one during work hours. As far as them being on every night, no. We usually know what we need to be doing to get our jobs done. They know we don’t need babysitting. And we have other ways to reach them and submit our work when we need to. As for them being professional, I believe there are a time and a place for everything. As long as they are professional when there is work to be done, I find no reason to complain. KeilaDoll: I don’t personally think a supervisor needs to be there 100% of the nights, as they should be able to trust the employees to do the work they were brought on for. I do think that during the time we have to get work done that we should be professional about it and the way it’s handled. Currently I can’t fuss about anything, as we get our work done and put out. I don’t think that just because they Aare a supervisor that they can’t joke around and be silly with the employees when the opportunity is provided.
LordDanteDAlfieri: What extra-curricular activities have you been involved in? And it can be here or in rl what every you want to say. Guest_BraunShea: What type of “extra-curricular activities” are you speaking of Dante? LordDanteDAlfieri: Anything Braun like me I am a stripper when I am not doing this LeonKnightsHeart: Well, I am a multi-talented person, during my free time I play music, sports, or I write. Anything with passion and something to put your all in is where you will find me not in bed Braun BelladonnaOfDeath: Well, I am also a developer, so a lot of my time goes into product development here at IMVU. I also moderate a couple of Facebook pages. Offline, I’m a mother of five so that keeps me pretty busy, even while trying to get work done online. Guest_BraunShea: I’m a mother and homemaker... I know... Boring... LordDanteDAlfieri: in roll I custom build Bars currently doing own now for the Hells Angels 81 in Council Bluffs Guest_BraunShea: Half my family is bikers, they are freaking in awesome! KeilaDoll: I have participated in many different extra-curricular activities for as long as I can remember. I have participated in modeling and pageants and gymnastics from the ages of 2-12. I participated in Dance since I was one, and still continue to dance when the opportunity is available. I have also been a referee for soccer, and in junior executive meetings. In school I participated in; Dance, Drill Team, Athletic Training, Track, Weight Lifting, FCCLA, BPA, UIL, Serpent, Library Aide, Newspaper/ journalism, junior police training, art club, choir, and more. Currently, I paint, and sing, and dance, I also create products here, work for magazines, and do IMVU modeling, and a couple other things. I tend to keep busy and stay busy.
Opps!! dunno how that pic of Dante slipped in there
LordDanteDAlfieri: In what kind of work environment are you most comfortable? Guest_BraunShea: At home... XXAngelicLeighXx: just so she can run around in her panties LeonKnightsHeart: An Artistic one LordDanteDAlfieri: but she said she does not wear any? Guest_BraunShea: Hello... What panties? Don’t you pay attention woman? BelladonnaOfDeath: I prefer a quiet work environment, but we all know it just never works out that way. KeilaDoll: I prefer a relaxed environment with, music and lots of humor, sometimes it’s nice to be quiet, but I can’t stand silence or white walls. I enjoy a clean work environment, but I do like the artistically decorations as well.
Cone of Silence
LordDanteDAlfieri: How do you work under pressure? LeonKnightsHeart: I work pretty well under any kind of pressure; I am very cool and relaxed. Guest_BraunShea: I work VERY well “under” pressure... loam BelladonnaOfDeath: I work well under pressure for the most part. In fact, I would say some of my best work has been done under tremendous pressure and nearly impossible deadlines. KeilaDoll: When I’m under pressure, it really depends on the situation as to whether or not it stresses me. If someone’s breathing down my neck I get a little tense, but if it’s just a deadline then I work just fine. I don’t easily get pushed to the edge of breaking.
LordDanteDAlfieri: What job have you enjoyed the most? Why? BelladonnaOfDeath: I enjoy any job that gives me creative freedom, which so far has been all of them. LeonKnightsHeart: Writing because it lets me be me and put passion into my work. Guest_BraunShea: Taking care of my kids... It brings me tremendous joy... And making them is fun too... KeilaDoll: I won’t lay modeling was my absolute favorite, as I got to put my own expressions and show how I would represent their products. The creativity in posing and the different styles and locations was always an excitement and never was there anything that you could expect to occur it always changed.
LordDanteDAlfieri: Where would you like to see yourself go in 10 years with Forge? Guest_BraunShea: On the cover! LeonKnightsHeart: Only time will tell XXAngelicLeighXx: um you better be wearing panties BelladonnaOfDeath: Hmmm. That’s harder to answer. I suppose I would like to see Forge on newsstands everywhere, not just Forge, but all of its counterparts. KeilaDoll: Well in 10 yrs. I hope to be working with a magazine, and dancing on my spare time, cooking for a friend and stuff. : D -behaves on my responseLordDanteDAlfieri: How do you handle stress? Like some have sex, other drinks some smoke most just walk away and take a time out LeonKnightsHeart: I do art or poetry; I put that emotion into my work and push it out so others can see how I truly feel BelladonnaOfDeath: I would have to say that physical activates help. Wither sex, or some other form of exercise. Sometimes it just helps to talk to a friend. AleahaSienna: I like to listen to music on full blast or watch movies usually to calm down. I mostly isolate myself from the outside world when really stressed. If I’m stressed on here, I’ll just ignore and answer every so often really. KeilaDoll: When I am stressed I like to write AP stories and act “silly” to try and lighten and ease the mood, but when I have the opportunity I like to paint, mainly splatter paint. I tend to do anything that lets me act wild and uncontrolled to release the tension of whatever is controlling my mood at the time, I especially love to talk it out, or use a pacifier, which I started in place of smoking which I did for 3 almost 4 yrs.
LordDanteDAlfieri: What do you do for fun? Like Sex whatever you want to tell Somas for fun Sex is wonderful AleahaSienna: Ere... what if we have no sexual stories? Add... For fun I love to keep myself busy with multitasking. I’ll text, go online, watch YouTube videos - Mainly Tobaccos vids - I also love to draw and play Xbox. BelladonnaOfDeath: I usually spend time with my friends or my husband and family. I play video games, watch movies, and dev. KeilaDoll: For fun, I like to drive Bells insane, or sing, and create, run around partying as a rap child on IMVU, and just in general drive Bells insane!!!!! LeonKnightsHeart: Well I am sure we all enjoy sex if that is what you are asking but it is not a need, me for example, I would prefer to sit there and hold the one in my arms rather than try to get in their pants. But I like to do sports, extreme to regular, dirtbikeing was my favorite before I was in an accident messing up my whole right side, now I love to do things more, I don’t know, Elegant.
LordDanteDAlfieri: Now everyone here spend time with your family? What do you like most about your family? AleahaSienna: How perverted, crazy and funny they are. They can get on my nerves a lot but we have some good days where we get along and have a great time. LeonKnightsHeart: Everything about them I love, it’s what makes them my family and sets them aside from others. KeilaDoll: I spend time with my family as best I can, but I love that when we are together we can just be silly and loving and cuddle and dance and enjoy what time we have together. BelladonnaOfDeath: I suppose that what I like most about my family is that they are all very adventurous. They like to try new things. We all enjoy a lot of the same things and that makes it easy to enjoy our time together. LeonKnightsHeart: barb, fixing my gas collar
LordDanteDAlfieri: What major problems have you encountered and how did you deal with them? Hmm Collar? AleahaSienna: Arguing, fighting, etc. We gave each other space and after a few days, things cooled down and we were back to normal. LeonKnightsHeart: My accident because it left me immobile for a couple weeks but I dealt with them by pushing forward and doing what I can to survive. AleahaSienna: I also lost some friends for their actions. I gave them a chance and it was hard to let them go a second time, but you got ‘a do what you got ‘a dog... KeilaDoll: Well I’ve handled quite a few with my real life, but through it all I found someone I could trust and help me get through what was going on. There are some things that are so traumatically I haven’t learned to overcome them but I still depend on the ones close to me to help me be strong through it all. BelladonnaOfDeath: My biggest problem is always feeling like I’m racing against time. There’s just never enough time in the day to get everything I want done, and there’s never enough time at night to wake feeling rested. I deal with it by consuming massive amounts of coffee and other caffeinated beverages. It helps me focus during the day and keeps me up a little longer to get things done at night.
LordDanteDAlfieri: What have you learned from your mistakes? Can you tell me about any of your achievements that were recognized by your professors, superiors, or classmates? AleahaSienna: To give people time to cool down and myself as well before I explode and take it out on people. I haven’t had any achievements. I am currently working on an achievement, publishing a book and maybe making a series out of it. BelladonnaOfDeath: I’ve learned not to repeat the same mistakes over and over. Last year, around this time, I was chosen as Forge’s Artist of the month, following the legendary Geo, so that made me very proud. LeonKnightsHeart: Ah, well I did have a poem published; otherwise I keep my work to myself KeilaDoll: I was in the Denton Ballet Academy’s Nutcracker performance when I was 12, and I received the honor of one of the 9 top performers, I was honored as we had performers from all over the world including Russia and got chosen. I have also earned a few UIL and academic achievements, but nothing compares to the dance one.
LordDanteDAlfieri: What are some of the tasks that you find difficult to do? AleahaSienna: Telling people my feelings. I usually just bottle it up inside KeilaDoll: Controlling my excitement is a major thing for me, and focusing. BelladonnaOfDeath: Sometimes I have trouble not being too harsh. I tend to have a very hard time sugar-coating things, this leads to a lot of hurt feelings. I don’t intentionally hurt anyone, but some people are more sensitive than others and aren’t used to people being honest with them. LordDanteDAlfieri: Do you have any questions for me? LeonKnightsHeart: Where did U get that Suit and who do I have to kill to get one LordDanteDAlfieri: http://www.imvu.com/shop/web_search. php?manufacturers_id=45719973 Good Life Nice suits that fit My Avi well anyways. LordDanteDAlfieri: This Interview is done Thank you allowing me the time to be here with you all.
