AVASTAR OF THE WEEK

Zhao's that for beautiful!

By: Paolo Bade

MULTI-TALENTED Melanie: Beautiful, business savy, creative and more than able to run in stilettos! In fact, she spends most of her time running around shops in SL, when she's not busy designing shoes...

Name: Melanie Zhao

Birth date: 09/25/2006

Profession: Shoe Designer

Attitude: Work hard shop hard

The AvaStar: What is your best feature?

Melanie Zhao: My sense of humour. I try and see the funny side of things and I walk away from drama (I didn’t used to though!)

TA: How do you spend your time in SL?

MZ: Shopping, designing shoes, shopping, designing shoes, fashion shows, designing shoes, shopping, dancing, shopping, seeing friends, shopping, and a bit more shopping!

TA: What would you change in SL?

MZ: Inventory loss. OMG I hate it, it’s my biggest nightmare. I spent two days designing a new boot. I went to make the vendor pictures and when I came back, the folder was empty. I cried.

TA: What is the most precious item in your inventory?

MZ: I have over 25,000 items all organised into folders where I can find everything... I’m sooo anal! So all of my inventory is precious to me.

TA: If SL had a president, who would it be?

MZ: Well it would be me obviously, with Callie Cline as my Vice President, Fortunate Szondi as my PA and Ciera Bergman as my maid.
