Alix Abruzzo Partners with Fortunate Productions

 

 

Alix Abruzzo is in her second year in Second Life. During that time she has built Phat Cat’s Jazz Club and insured bringing it to the top of the traffic charts for 6 months. Her next project was to build and operate Bellagio Second Life, the first true recreation of the hotel and casino in Las Vegas.

Having built her experience in running several clubs, art galleries and live music venues, she then turned her attention to the fashion world, where she brought many fabulous runway shows to SL. Teaming up with Fortunate Szondi, she created shows at Bellagio that were unrivaled in their originality and never before seen in Second Life.

Alix has since partnered with Fortunate Productions a production company which shares the same visions of originality and excitement that set these shows apart from anyone else in SL. Merging with Fortunate Productions made perfect sense, given the natural increase in talent, resources, and creative vision. Alix has provided 3 complete sims connected together, each themed specifically towards the fashion community, and each totally individual and unique in all of SL.

Using these resources provides the opportunity to create virtually anything the designer could want and each can be specifically tailored to the job at hand presenting designs to the public in a way that is unrivaled in the community. Each show can be specifically tailored to the designs being shown, the designer’s individual vision, their tastes and desires which is a feature that sets Fortunate Productions apart from every modeling agency in Second Life. Working with an exclusive team of top experienced models, builders, scripters, and designers, Alix is proud to be a part of creating something new in Second Life, and looks forward to knocking the fashion world off its feet with her creative friends.

We’re proud to welcome Alix Abruzzo as Co-CEO of Fortunate Productions and we look forward to serving the Second Life Fashion community with all the creative vision we can provide for them.

Our minimum rate is 1 – 15 outfits @ 15k with an additional 1k per outfit thereafter.

Fully hosted afterparties are 5k per 2 hour event hosted by top DJ talent in Second Life and are an addition to the basic show package.

Fully customizable immersive venues are competitively priced depending on the complexity of the build and number of outfits to show.  We generally do not show beyoned 30 outfits per event but can arrange to suit your needs.

Fortunate Productions Welcomes Ally Geer

Hello everyone!  I’m Ally Geer, I’ve been a resident of Second Life since May 2005.  I have done many things in Second Life, beginning with dabbling in building furniture.  My shopping addiction took over and I decided I wanted to model.  I became a model at ASpiRE! under the direction of Bianca Darling and Trina Noland, and eventually worked my way to Top Model.  I served as President of ASpiRE! for approximately eight months, organizing and overseeing fashion shows and helping with ASpiRE! magazine, till Bianca, Trina and I’s real life took over and the agency was sold. 

I have been a print and runway model for numerous ads, instore modeling and runway shows.  I am currently “The Face of RH Designs”, a business run by the fabulous and sweet people Rebel Hope and RH Engel.  I am stylist for the talented and wonderful Fallingwater Cellardoor’s Shiny Things shoes, jewelry and accessories.  I am a member of InStyle Agency, Timeless Modeling Agency and most recently took the position of VP of Modavia Models, overseeing the Modavia models from prospective to Supermodels.  I was chosen for “The Best of Second Life” magazine’s “20 Most Beautiful in Second Life”. 

My biggest joys in Second Life are spending time with my husband, Billy and my wonderful friends, shopping, modeling and discovering new finds on the grid. I am excited to be in FSz and look forward to working with all the talented models, staff and friends that it will bring.

 

It’s so wonderful to have you aboard Ally.  There is no more wonderful a lady that I have met in Second Life as you.  We’re all increased by your presence.  Fort!

Fortunate Productions Welcomes Bianca Darling

Hi all! I’m Bianca Darling, both a RL model and a model in Second Life. I founded the Original ASpiRE! Empire in July of 2006 with my business partner Trina Noland. In those days, agencies of that caliber were few and far between and we accomplished some amazing things. Alas, times change and we have sold ASpiRE! and stepped down as managment. While I remain signed exclusively with ASpiRE! in terms of an “agency”, I also retain the right to walk in any show or work for any designer I respect, as well as work with independent production companies like Fortunate Productions FSz. I’m really excited to be a part of this crew as not only due to the potential and strength  I see in it and it’s CEO herself, Fortunate Szondi, but due to the fact that many of my girls from ASpiRE! are also here! I’m looking forward to walking with you all, my old family and new friends.

This is Fort, I can’t tell you how thrilled we are to have you with our Production Company.  If there is an icon in SL fashion….it’s Bianca Darling.  Welcome Queen B!
