There's a first time for everything. And some two hours ago was my first time as a model at a virtual #
fashion show.
It went quite well, also because we were well-prepared. Okay, there were a few things we weren't prepared for such as the performance issues coming from an audience of over 40 avatars; altogether, we were 56 avatars on the sim during the show. And the sim had never seen a load test before.
Also, one model fell ill on short notice, and I took over two of her sorties, so I had six. Of course, I had to volunteer for her underwear and lingerie outfits... But two of us managed to put together two additional fashion show outfits within minutes. One more outfit was made when one of us lost her connection halfway through the show for some minutes. So much about Internet in Germany. One of her sorties was missing, another one was covered by someone else on short notice.
I think the only problems the audience noticed were the one missing sortie, a few models not being who was announced by the pre-recorded conférencier and the audio stream dropping out. But we gracefully managed to navigate around all this.
And it was certainly spectacular, so much I've heard from the audience. I'll see if I can get pictures.
The after-show party is still on-going, by the way.
