Interview with Marysha Siamendes (SiamInk Designs)
It has been quite a time since we posted the last interview with one of our designers. This time we are re-taking that effort and presents to you an interview we did to Marysha Siamendes from SiamInk Designs. With these interviews our goals is to give you the opportunity to known better our designers; know about their stories and how the became what they are now in SL and maybe some of you can find here an inspiration to start a career as designer. I hope you like it.
1.WHAT IS YOUR SL NAME?
Marysha Siamendes
2. WHEN YOU STARTED PLAYING SL?
About 3 years ago, I’ve started with Marysha Siamendes on 8/17/2008 and since that I have my own brand.
3. WHERE DO YOU HEAR ABOUT SL FOR FIRST TIME?
On the television, there was a woman wich was earning a lot of money with SL. So I thaught, I want that too.
4. WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO COME TO SL?
I wanted to earn money with a “game” wich I liked.
5. NOW THAT YOU ARE A BUSINESS PERSON IN THIS WORLD WHAT IS THE NAME OF YOUR BUSINESS AND HOW YOU DECIDE THAT NAME FOR IT?
My Business is called SiamInk Designs. Siamink I have choose because Siam is a part of my last name and Ink because the main products are tattoos. And Designs I have choose because I also want to design other things as well.
6. DID YOU CAME HERE THINKING OF BECOMING A DESIGNER SINCE THE BEGINNING OR IT HAPPENED LATER DURING YOUR WEEKS AT THE GAME? TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THAT.
When I was first in the game I saw a lot of casino’s , and I saw that people make great money with that. So I wanted a casino also. But later there where no casinos anymore so I was thinking what can I do. I first started to resell stuff.. Then a friend told me that I must do something with my photoshop experience to make more money in sl. So there I was behind my PC thinking what can I make…. And then my first tattoo was born.
7. WHAT EXACTLY YOU DO AS DESIGNER I MEAN WHAT YOU CREATE?
I create Tattoos and I have also a couple of jeans and shorts now. But There will be more in the future. And I also do custom designs, so when people want to have a custom design tattoo they just can IM me.
8. DO YOU THINK HAS BEEN HARD TO BE RECOGNIZED AS DESIGNER AND HAVING AN INCREASE IN YOUR SALES?
Yes I think it is hard… But when you spend time in it you will be recognized and you must be patient. You must look wich way you can do it the best…
9. FROM WHERE YOU GET YOUR INSPIRATION TO CREATE, TO DESIGN; THE MUSA?
Just what I have in my head, and what I think what is nice.
10. DO YOU HOLD ANY OFFICIAL TITLE THAT SHOW YOU AS A MASTER IN WHAT YOU DESIGN? I MEAN A TITLE GIVEN TO YOU BY ANY SL ORGANIZATION OR SCHOOL.
No I don’t have that
11. DO YOU THINK IS HARD THE COMPETITON HERE AS DESIGNER? WHY?
Yes, there are so many good designers, but like I told already when you spend time in it you will be recognized and you must be patient. You must look wich way you can do it the best…
12. FOR HOW LONG HAS YOU BEEN DESIGNING HERE PROFESSIONALY? TELL US A LITTLE HOW YOU HAVE EVOLVED.
I first started to let my friends see my first tattoo I had made. And they where telling me that I must make more to open a shop. So I made an Alt ( Marysha Siamendes ) to start the business with… sincs that day I have created more designs, and a lot of custom design work. The first months where hard …. No I have more time and energy to do more advertisements etc etc. Now Marysha Siamendes is not an ALT anymore , she is me…. I can tell you now that all the work and energy was good to do… I make money and 2 weeks ago I have open a very nice mainstore. A big shop, wich is custom build for me. And the money I have spent now and will spend , it is all from my business.
13. DO YOU THINK YOUR DESIGNS ARE DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE? WHY? EXPLAIN A LITTLE.
Yes, I think my designs are original. I see a lot of tattoo shops with fake tattoos. I mean they look like a sticker. Yes there are also very good other tattoo designers. My designs are faded, so then it will look more real. I also do all the layers , so not only a undershirt. And I also hear from people that they are very original.
14. DO YOU HAVE TIME TO HAVE FUN? HOW DO YOU BALANCE YOUR SL AS DESIGNER WITH YOUR SL AS A NORMAL RESIDENT?
Yes I have fun, I have also fun when I create tattoos. Because my sl boyfriend is also my boyfriend in real live, so I dint have to cuddle in sl the whole time hahaha. So can save time ;-) I love also to party and that’s why I am also a DJ once in a week.
15. IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE A ROMANCE AND BEING A DESIGNER AT THE SAME TIME? WHY ? HOW YOU HANDLE OR WOULD HANDLE THAT SITUATION?
Yes it is possible. I know my real life boyfriend because of sl. When I first saw him, he wanted to order a custom tattoo. And when it was getting serious with us in sl , he was always telling me, that when I must business I must do that and not letting my business fade away. I think when you have a romance in sl the other person must let you do also your business.
16. ANY ADVICE OR RECOMMENDATION YOU WANT TO GIVE TO OTHER DESIGNERS, BUYERS OR RESIDENTS?
To Other designers I want to say : Just keep up the good work, be patient and don’t let other people tell you what to do !. To buyers I want to say , come and take a look in my mainstore and look at my designs and maybe buy something hahaha. And to all residents : Have fun in SL and respect all people.
Thanks you Marysha for sharing with us your story. I wish you the best and hope that our group can help a little in the growing of your business.
Now everybody knows that is really true that in SL a lot of people is making real money. It is possible; you just need to focus, commit and start working. I know this too cus i heard a story of a lady that is making more money in SL that what she did in her real life job. So explore your talents and try to see what you can do best and start working on it. It is not easy but is not impossible neither.
Dont forget that Marysha do custom work so if you have a tatoo in RL and want it in SL maybe Marysha can make it for you. :)
Hugss!!!

Our Fashion Show Last Night was a Real Blast yeeeh haaah!!!
As many of you already know Fashion Trend had the 4th Fashion Show last night at 7 PM SLT. We were there with models since around 6 PM. My nerves were starting lol. But still were under control. Then about 5 minutes before starting people began to pop up there; a little bit more nervous now. Then, just 1 minute to start and that was one avi after the other popping there. Believe me, when I saw that I started to shiver.
We had an amazing attendance of 95 avatars in our event. The sim owner Lucincia Muliaina was in charged to monitor that and we could sustain that attendance for the whole hour and a half the show lasted. phew!!!! what a night! It was just amazing; last night I adored the lag cus it was basically caused more for the presence of so many people than other reasons.
We ended the show and ppl were still there; all sitting and chilling like if they dont want to leave. What an experience!
I did a great effort in advertising the event but i know that without the help of the models; their friends, the designers and their groups and the help of our lovely members that wouldn't be as it was.
We showcased 5 fabulous designers and among them there was Studio Nails that never showcased before. They do prim nails that come with a HUD and something that really deserved to be with us last night and let the community know about this different way of wearing nails. Also as always we had 4 talented clothing designers and some of them do more than just that. The quality is unquestionable; because as all of you know; we just have good and extremely talented designers.
The designers showcasing last night were:
1. Izira Kirkorian from iZa Boutique
2. Maryjane Wellesly from Mary Jane's Designs
3. Akaya and Redsoledrea Gossipgirl from Total Betty
4. Anastasia Magic from Studio Nails
5. Monica Outlander from Miamai
I feel extremely proud of our designers, Models and Members. Designers are always so kind with our group and willing to participate; the Models are so commited and they handle so well any situation we can face backstage that is incredible; and members just... no words to talk about them. I was so pleased that they went with low Avatar Rendering Cost and there some that did not have it low put it low as per my request and that was appreciated. I would say that 99% of guests were with the Avatar Rendering Cost in Green. That demonstrate that our group is full of people that love fashion and understand this business.
I dont have time to be jumping from blog to blog because my hands are so full. But if you know of any blogger commenting on our show please dont hesitate to let me know. I invited last night bloggers and Magazines Editors and some were there. I hope that our event inspire them to talk about us and let the SL community know that we exist and that we have a purpose with them in mind first.
We already have some pictures of the event in our web page www.fashiontrendgroup.webs.com. Feel free to see them and to join our site.
Thanks everybody for supporting me in our events. That is my reward; seeing you there and knowing that you are enjoying it. Hugs!!!!

And Out Models Continue with their Achievements
In JCNY they have the competition known as "JCNY MAY WEEK SHOWCASE MODELS" . Marienna Cortes won the week One. Now again she won this round along with another of our Models; Gem Henly. Check it out.
Marienna Cortes
I send a sincere appreciation to you, JD Handson, and to the the staff of JCNY. It has been an honor and priviledge to have been once again selected as showcase model this week. I want to take the time to also thank all the people who have supported me along my journey..... Aranax, my dearest friend for thinking I am HAWT. To my right hand, Jovial Jewell, who listens to me rant and rave. Romi Dagostino, a close friend and mentor. To Fashion Trend, Atlantis Modeling, Simplicity Modeling and SLGAM Modeling agency, for believing in me. As always to my husband and best friend Stato, "...you have restored my hope, and faith in love. Your patience and gentleness have given me back my ability to trust. You are irreplaceable in my life."
Gem Henly
I would love to thank JCNY for this wonderful opportunity. I love the jewelry at JCNY because it makes me feel special. I love the designs and the elegant style of the jewelry. I am just starting out in the modeling world and I have done a few shoots. I absolutely love to model. I also enjoy strutting the run way with Fashion Trend. I want to thank Madonna Saenz for helping all of us become wonderful stars in our own way. I would also like to thank Pleasure Babii for always giving me her honest opinion on how I look.
Congratulations!!! There are other of our models that have won other competitions and As soon as they send the story to me I will share it with you. I can't feel more proud of all of you. These Models work hard to become each time a better professional. They took seriously this career and worked to pass to the next level. As a Model you need to evolve; be willing to the accept the challenges this career will make you face with.
I know that some members are trying to become models but are not willing to commit. You need to order the priorities in SL to be able to have a real career. If you want to be a Model but not willing to attend the meetings and the practices, for not sacrifying your time with friends and the person you love inside SL; then you are not ready for this yet.
You can have a life and be a model too in SL. We have girls that are married, are moms and they also have another job; and with all that they know how to hanlde their time to comply with the requirements of this career.
A modeling Career in SL is as demanding and in RL, So think twice if you really want to be a Model. Once you start; other jobs can come to you from other agencies or designers so you need to know upfront; how much time are you willing to invest in yourself as a Model.
I feel very proud of my girls and my boys. So Again Congratz and keep the good work going.

Our Models Achievements
I am so excited that some of our Models have had some achievements lately that i want to share with you those for what i have all the info or part of it.
First let me share with you what Gem Henly sent to me. Gem has been one of our Models since we started this project of helping our members to do a carreer in this field.
First let me share with you what Gem Henly sent to me. Gem has been one of our Models since we started this project of helping our members to do a carreer in this field.
" I went to an open call along with Sarlah, Jennie, and Cae. The first round was a fancy dress. We walked the runway and certain people made it to the next round. In round two it was business attire. Again the same procedure was done. In round three it was swim wear/lingerie. I was so nervous at each of the elimination rounds. When it came to the finally round we had to wait for there decisions. I seemed like a life time. I made it into the finally cut and am now working with SLGLAM modeling agency. Without Madonna’s coaching I would have never made it.
