VICTORIAN: Ruby (28 June 2005)

[11:33:02] ‹ruby› I'd like to see you wear the Commes des Garcon trompe...dress
[11:33:06] ‹gyandell› just the red shoes
[11:33:40] ‹datura› that victor/rolf blouse would be killer on her
[11:33:50] ‹celine2› and the martin margiela necklace
[11:34:24] ‹alexia› Hair in a bun with the white bracelet around it
[11:34:32] ‹datura› the victor blouse over the louis vuitton skirt
[11:35:11] ‹showstudio› Oh, sorry, Alexia, we're having difficulty understanding your choices. We'll give you a little more time to select and start with Ruby. Good shout with the Comme dress!
[11:35:37] ‹ruby› I'd like the Martin Margiela vest worn over Peter Jensen velvet dress with platform shoes
[11:35:40] ‹gyandell› yeah trhe red shoes
[11:36:12] ‹ruby› Although I'd prefer to see the dress on first. Is the Commes Des Garcon knicker set still available?
[11:36:26] ‹ruby› Because I'd like that worn underneath the dress, with the velvet shoes
[11:36:52] ‹ruby› And maybe the Chandelier necklace set
[11:37:11] ‹showstudio› Ruby, are you going to try on a couple of things and then decide what is your favourite look?
[11:37:39] ‹ruby› I've been thinking about this all afternoon and the Commes dress is definitely my favourite
[11:37:59] ‹ruby› But when I went to check up on the available clothes again, the knicker set wasn't shown
[11:38:08] ‹showstudio› Nick and Liberty are wondering where you are based?
[11:38:32] ‹ruby› Ha! Australia! It's 8.30 here - I've got another 12 hours and I don't drink coffee!
[11:38:51] ‹gyandell› strike a pose liberty!
[11:39:26] ‹datura› those shoes were made for her
[11:39:36] ‹Dilly› nice choice Ruby
[11:39:54] ‹krko› maybe it's just me but i hardly see any details in the clothes. the set is dark.
[11:40:36] ‹datura› ooh, it rotates!
[11:41:32] ‹showstudio› Hey Ruby, Nick's asking for your photographic direction for the Viewer's Gallery. Now's your chance to Art Direct Nick Knight!

[11:42:52] ‹showstudio› Aha, we have some direction on the lighting department! Nick has taken your advice and switched on the ring flash.
[11:42:55] ‹celine2› Hey, Liberty, put your hands on your knees and lean forwards
[11:43:33] ‹datura› oh that's very nice
[11:43:36] ‹datura› get the heels.
[11:43:41] ‹alexia› pick up the skirt with your hands
[11:44:22] ‹gyandell› not so rigid
[11:44:22] ‹celine2› pick up one of your shoes and pretend to lick it!
[11:44:38] ‹datura› oy
[11:44:42] ‹alexia› should make it more infantile it's too sexy
[11:44:44] ‹celine2› oy!!
[11:44:47] ‹showstudio› Ah, the foot fetishist. You lot are so predictable.

[11:45:05] ‹celine2› come, on, they're beautiful shoes
[11:45:21] ‹showstudio› Ok, I think we've got Ruby's look good and proper, who's next?

VICTORIAN: Datura (28 June 2005)

[11:45:21] ‹showstudio› Ok, I think we've got Ruby's look good and proper, who's next?
[11:45:33] ‹datura› oh me!
[11:45:38] ‹datura› are we still in victorian?
[11:46:00] ‹showstudio› Yes, we are.
[11:46:06] ‹datura› okay
[11:46:15] ‹datura› the rolf blouse
[11:46:25] ‹datura› with the louis skirt
[11:46:40] ‹datura› and the Comme head piece
[11:46:48] ‹showstudio› Can you describe the Louis Vuitton skirt?
[11:47:01] ‹datura› patchwork long skirt
[11:47:05] ‹showstudio› You've been researching.
[11:47:20] ‹celine2› how about the yohji dress with crystals?
[11:47:48] ‹datura› margiela chandelier necklace
[11:48:19] ‹showstudio› Datura, would you like to see the shirt tucked in, Jonathan would like to know...
[11:48:27] ‹datura› i would, yes
[11:48:32] ‹datura› a little schoolteacher, please.
[11:48:35] ‹celine2› how about the gucci lace camisole underneath?
[11:49:05] ‹datura› i like the sleeves pushed up, yes
[11:49:08] ‹datura› a hard day at work.
[11:49:09] ‹celine2› with the Comme veil?
[11:49:29] ‹showstudio› Yes, Datura, would you like the veil with the headpiece?
[11:49:36] ‹datura› yes, pls
[11:49:52] ‹celine2› that's gonna look great
[11:50:36] ‹datura› no shoes
[11:50:52] ‹datura› does the veil come down in front of her face?
[11:51:14] ‹showstudio› Are you happy with the look? Nick would like to know if you want a head shot.
[11:51:28] ‹datura› i would like a head shot, i'd like to see her do something aggressive
[11:51:40] ‹datura› fight the veil a bit, kind of like PJ Harvey's pocketknife
[11:51:47] ‹datura› Liberty's not going to be anyone's wife today
[11:52:29] ‹datura› oh no, the tinsel's running away
[11:52:40] ‹showstudio› Stylist to the rescue
[11:52:42] ‹krko› lights please...
[11:52:58] ‹showstudio› Ok, your wish...
[11:53:02] ‹datura› very nice
[11:53:15] ‹sqpeg› beatiful!!
[11:53:17] ‹krko› nice
[11:53:42] ‹alexia› looks great
[11:53:48] ‹showstudio› Doesn't she?
[11:54:09] ‹datura› works for me!
[11:54:49] ‹ruby› It's all about hanger appeal. I would never have thought the veil would be so intricately detailed, based solely on the photo
[11:54:57] ‹datura› it's beautiful
[11:55:10] ‹datura› on her
[11:55:13] ‹ruby› Can I suggest the Stella top with maybe the Comme knitted corset?
[11:55:57] ‹remote› this is fun!
[11:55:58] ‹ruby› Not sure about the bottom half options. I was thinking the velvet skirt, but it might look too simple.
[11:56:12] ‹ruby› Maybe over a dress?
[11:56:27] ‹datura› thanks liberty!
[11:56:44] ‹showstudio› Great, thanks Datura, now, who's next?

VICTORIAN: Celine2 (28 June 2005)

[11:57:46] ‹celine2› How about the Gucci, camisole with the Commes knitted corset and the Louisa Bacaria skirt?
[11:58:22] ‹celine2› and of course the marni broche and the velvet shoes
[11:58:56] ‹showstudio› We have time for another couple of 'virtual stylists' and then Nick Knight will start his 'photographic deconstruction' section before breaking for lunch at 1.30.
[11:59:02] ‹liberty› Olly you are missing your chance!!
[11:59:19] ‹showstudio› Ok, Olly, too slow!! Liberty is keen on Celine2. She's up!
[11:59:21] ‹liberty› we are getting your look celine
[11:59:39] ‹celine2› perfect - can't wait
[12:00:18] ‹showstudio› Great, are you enjoying that Tao Hurikawa corset?
[12:00:46] ‹gyandell› wow
[12:00:52] ‹alexia› what look will it be at 2:30
[12:01:01] ‹gyandell› its just beyond
[12:01:14] ‹celine2› yeah, actualy is it possible to get the Martin Margiela wig collar as well, maybe Jonathan has the perfect styling ideas for that one?
[12:01:25] ‹krko› very victorian mac osx background you have :)
[12:02:08] ‹ruby› Looks beautiful
[12:02:11] ‹datura› wow, that looks amazing
[12:02:13] ‹showstudio› Celine2, where would you like the brooch?
[12:03:31] ‹gyandell› helmut dominant women pose is in need with that glamorous ensamble
[12:03:37] ‹celine2› maybe put the broche in her hair and put it up a bit?
[12:04:02] ‹showstudio› Sorry, Sam's getting proprietorial about the hair! Somewhere else?!
[12:04:27] ‹showstudio› We'll get Liberty to put it on herself...
[12:04:35] ‹celine2› maybe make the dress looked more draped and hang it up a bit with the broche to hold it
[12:05:35] ‹celine2› I know we have used the veil, but can we use it again without the flower thing?
[12:05:37] ‹jj545› hello everyone
[12:05:51] ‹ruby› Where did the flower thing come from?
[12:05:58] ‹celine2› commes
[12:06:09] ‹showstudio› So that's a Louisa skirt, Gucci camisole, a Tao Hurikawa knitted corset, the wig collar by Margiela, and a Marni brooch. Velvet Louboutin shoes. Liberty's loving the look: well done Celine2. The studio is speculating as to who you are.
[12:06:16] ‹celine2› she looks amazing now, maybe it's better without the veil
[12:06:26] ‹datura› yeah, you donšt need it with this
[12:06:31] ‹datura› it looks good
[12:06:37] ‹celine2› the bracelet would be better
[12:07:18] ‹showstudio› So, now we move towards the photographing... Sorry, Celine2, not enough time for total perfectionists!! The rotating turntable is on.
[12:07:39] ‹celine2› that's ok, I like her the way she looks now
[12:07:43] ‹datura› that's killer

VICTORIAN: SqPeg (28 June 2005)

[12:09:28] ‹showstudio› Time for a couple more before Nick, Jonathan and Liberty select their favourite and start photographing in earnest. Who's next?
[12:10:21] ‹showstudio› Sqpeg, Liberty's asking you to reveal yourself. Do you have any thoughts on Victorian?
[12:10:51] ‹celine2› if I could have a go again I'd like to see the Rochas long dress with the Agebt Provocateur cape and the Margiela necklace
[12:10:57] ‹sqpeg› I am a bit lost and have very little criteria
[12:11:12] ‹sqpeg› intimidated I feel
[12:11:24] ‹datura› dont be intimidated, sqpeg!
[12:11:31] ‹datura› it's so much fun
[12:11:41] ‹showstudio› Well, why don't we start with Celine2's choices and you can take it from there. There's room for all of you!
[12:11:45] ‹ruby› Don't worry - we're all amateurs! It's just like playing dress ups at home!
[12:12:13] ‹sqpeg› mind you I havenšt done my research with the clothes
[12:12:26] ‹datura› good thing you have a bit of time then
[12:12:30] ‹ruby› Except I can't afford these clothes
[12:13:01] ‹showstudio› Well, sqpeg, Liberty is standing there, half-naked, waiting for your support and you, anonymous at home in front of your computer are feeling intimidated?! Go on, have a go, you'll regret not taking a chance.
[12:13:02] ‹celine2› well that's excactly your call now to play with clothes you can't afford!!
[12:13:21] ‹ruby› Is Liberty earing the Rochas dress?
[12:13:36] ‹celine2› Is it possible to get a hat for this out fit?
[12:13:36] ‹showstudio› Yes, that's the exquisite Rochas dress.
[12:14:06] ‹ruby› Good suggestion celine2
[12:14:19] ‹showstudio› And the Margiela necklace with the lock of hair in it. Very Victorian mourning outfit.
[12:14:51] ‹showstudio› Nick is looking for some photographic direction, Celine and sqpeg. Would you like a close-up?
[12:15:12] ‹krko› close-up please
[12:15:12] ‹sqpeg› head and shoulders shot would be nice
[12:15:27] ‹celine2› yeah that would be great! Maybe from behind and Liberty turns and look into the camera
[12:15:30] ‹simon› can we get a more air to make the fabric move please
[12:15:33] ‹datura› you're going to lose the dress that way though
[12:15:36] ‹datura› it's too nice
[12:15:52] ‹celine2› I love that silhouette
[12:15:56] ‹simon› stop
[12:15:58] ‹ruby› Yeah. I think the most exciting detail about the dress is its silhouette
[12:15:58] ‹simon› perfect
[12:16:00] ‹sqpeg› too much I am sorry
[12:16:05] ‹showstudio› Great - Nick's on full-length and will proceed to close-up. Sqpeg. He wants to know if you're a girl or a boy.
[12:16:06] ‹datura› man, does she ever take a bad shot??
[12:16:13] ‹sqpeg› boy
[12:16:15] ‹datura› beautiful
[12:16:20] ‹maud› not so moody
[12:16:52] ‹maud› smile
[12:16:53] ‹ruby› That looks great!
[12:16:58] ‹datura› she's too sexy for that get up
[12:17:04] ‹sqpeg› I like it that way
[12:17:10] ‹maud› wave
[12:17:32] ‹gyandell› that is really beautifull
[12:17:39] ‹datura› almost looks like a screw or a spire or something
[12:17:40] ‹gyandell› you guys work quick!
[12:17:52] ‹sqpeg› In credible
[12:17:52] ‹showstudio› Isn't it? That Olivier Theyskens...
[12:17:57] ‹celine2› yes, it does look amazing!!
[12:17:59] ‹datura› very nice
[12:18:32] ‹gyandell› yeah great position
[12:18:50] ‹celine2› what fabric is the Rochas dress made of?
[12:19:12] ‹datura› ahh look at that
[12:19:17] ‹gyandell› bring right shoulder forward and arm hanging down
[12:19:47] ‹datura› it looks so great when she's casual
[12:19:52] ‹datura› and just laughing
[12:19:52] ‹showstudio› Something thick and stretchy, with a mohair trim.
[12:20:19] ‹celine2› It must be heavy then?
[12:20:33] ‹ruby› Is the trim along the hemline?
[12:21:02] ‹gyandell› oh my god! hold that there
[12:21:07] ‹showstudio› The trim is along each layer, like little fluffy waves. We've got time for one more. Well done Sqpeg!! You did it.
[12:21:20] ‹datura› liberty rocks
[12:21:33] ‹liberty› thanks...so do you!
[12:21:53] ‹sqpeg› hands are shaking on keyboard
[12:22:01] ‹2cool› this is great!

[12:26:25] ‹Rasmus› and without a doubt the platform shoes. I love girls ankles in high heeled shoes
[12:26:27] ‹showstudio› So Romantic!
[12:26:39] ‹Rasmus› no romance please!!!
[12:27:39] ‹showstudio› Hey, Rasmus, the Watanabe isn't going to fit over those poufy Yohji sleeves. What shall we do, undress Liberty and put it over her underwear?
[12:27:50] ‹Rasmus› Jubiiii, the hair is changing
[12:28:20] ‹Rasmus› let her hold it casually in her hand then
[12:28:42] ‹showstudio› Sam says this has already been remedied. Her hair is back in place.
[12:28:57] ‹datura› sam's got such a nice growl...
[12:29:09] ‹Rasmus› can we get some safety-pins to make it more slim fit?
[12:29:45] ‹showstudio› Jonathan's assuming you want the bulldog clip on the waist?
[12:30:03] ‹Rasmus› yep
[12:31:01] ‹Rasmus› can we do something with the light to show the silhouette more
[12:31:15] ‹gyandell› or even movement
[12:31:29] ‹showstudio› Rasmus, we're on rotate!
[12:31:38] ‹Rasmus› excellent
[12:31:50] ‹datura› look what the clip has done...
[12:31:57] ‹Rasmus› can we have a close-up on her ankles
[12:32:07] ‹datura› i dont like it.
[12:32:15] ‹gyandell› are you gonna alternate clockwise and anti clockwise
[12:32:16] ‹user242› hmm, the video stream isn't very clear. Could we have more light please?
[12:32:38] ‹user242› who's got the sexy scottish voice?
[12:32:52] ‹datura› very nice
[12:32:59] ‹showstudio› User242, is that better? Rasmus, the close-up of the ankles is a-coming. Don't you know Yohji prohibits heels with his dresses? ;)
[12:33:17] ‹Rasmus› Sorry Yohji
[12:33:29] ‹user242› What's nick shooting on?
[12:33:35] ‹user242› Is it a mobile phone?
