From the Editor
Dear Readers,
Welcome to the 5th issue, our holiday edition of Fierce. I love love love the holiday season, so I’m really excited to kick off the Fierce holiday season.
This month we spoke more of your favourite creators, such as Mr-Lavish, CakeMonsta who I think has to be the cutest kid on IMVU ever! As well as we caught up with the December Fierce Creator of the month, lDB, and much more.
And we wanted to spread so holiday cheer so through the mag-azine you will see special holiday cards from the members of #TeamFierce wishing all the best to the love ones for the holiday. I know I can’t be the only person on IMVU that celebrates Kwan-zaa, so I have also included a little on the celebration of Kwanzaa. It’s great to buy into the “Man” idea of what christmas is and get all excited for the over price gifts, but a lot of us forget the impor-tance of the holidays and the celebration of kwanzaa teaches us not to put so much value on the expensive gifts but cherish and remember the important of the holiday.
We also had a couple of contest in the group this month. The 20k Fierce Winter Wonderland Postcard contest, As well as we had a couple promo contest and asked the ladies to recreate the christ-mas cd covers for Tamar Braxton and K.Michelle. I really wanted to feature of all the picture but had to limit it. But you will see the winning pictures throughout the magazine and you can check out all the other pics in the group.
I can’t believe the year is over already. It has been an amazing year for me both in real life and on IMVU. And the last 6 month especially have been wonderful on IMVU for me since starting Fierce Creations I have met some amazing people and gained friendships that are just the best. Big Shoutout to all the ladies that helped me start Fierce Creations; Sexi30Somethin and lDB. To the group officers, Defenitiv and DawnDevinich who came along and helped us get started. To my Boo B.A.M who came and help start a whole new direction for the team and helped kick start the Fierce Angels, and I can’t leave out my P.N.C iMsQueen who has been there every step of the way and help me become a much better creator, DuttyDesign aka Chocolate Drop the first guy to join Fierce and always there to support us every time we ask (even though I’m still trying to figure out why he ends up half naked all the time), My Belle, Belle, Belle (you know I’m doing the Belle dance right now..lol) Ary, TT and Haze for always helping with all the extra projects, All the Fierce Angels that I honestly think are the hottest models on the game, LadyKheres-ket (see I didn’t forget the “k” this time) for holding us down on pulse and facebook, BootyMeat you know who you are and I just wanted you to know you’re fired..lol. Every person that we have interviewed so far especially BabycakesNXS and the NXS family
for making the October issue our most popular issue with over 6,000 views and still going :) I saved the best for last...Thank you to every single person who joined Fierce Creations over the past 6 months. Thank you so much for your support, I am a big fan of most of you in the group still can’t believe half of your joined. For the ones I have met already it has been a pleasure and for the ones that I haven’t met yet I look forward to meeting you soon.
Finally to my Bob, even though you don’t mess with IMVU you supported me in everything I wanted to do this year no matter how crazy it sounded...lol And if it wasn’t for you I would have never started messing with photoshop or even dreamed I could start my own magazine. My Ninja, My Nina, My Ninja you’re an-other one that don’t mess with IMVU but you support me and read every issue and between you and bob Idk who is my bigger supporter. Just know I loves ya for it (no homo in my Riley Voice)

FIERCE WINNER
FELIZ NAVIDAD!
I WOULD LIKE TO WISH A HAPPY AND SAFE CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
MRLAVISH
MEET MRLAVISH FIERCE: Please tell the readers when you join the IMVU world?
MR.LAVISH: I joined IMVU in January of 2010.
FIERCE: How did you get into creating?
MR.LAVISH: Well, when I first started creating, it was more like out of
more curiosity and boredom lol. I started out deriving from rooms and
furniture, and boy, like any typical novice, they were not so Bueno lol.
They were more like them products with Google images just slapped
everywhere with no type of texturing or change at all lol just all basic
looking, I was a mess lmao… but I enjoyed it though, it was new and
fun. It was especially challenging as well. So I continued, but I didn’t truly
get the real hang of it until I met my wife in 2011. We kind of worked
well together, and still do even to this day. So, I can say I’m truly grateful.
FIERCE: Awww that is so sweet. Nice to see men giving their women
props. Tell us how would you describe your creating process?
MR.LAVISH: Very calculated and OCD’d lol everything has to be planned
out for me, like, I have to know in advance what I am doing. If I am going
to make an outfit, all the meshes I need to use have had to been found
before, not while I am making it lol and I prep for a longgggg time as
well, and won’t finish probably for a few days, but at the end, it’s all
worth it.
FIERCE: What do you like most about creating?
MR.LAVISH: I love that I get to be creative with all and anything I do. But
I truly just enjoy how I get to challenge myself with new ideas.
HIS NAME IS TREV. HE IS A 22 YEAR OLD MIXED WITH DOMINICAN AND BLACK BUT RESIDING IN GEORGIA. HE IS MAKING HIS MARK ON THE IMVU SCENE MAKING FAMILY HOMES AND WONDERFUL FURNITURE. KEEPING YOUR IMVU HOMES FIERCE AND LAVISH.
FIERCE: I love shopping in your catty as well as deriving from your
meshes. They are very detailed and I can just picture how much work
goes into making them. What’s the hardest part about making your
own meshes?
MR.LAVISH: The hardest part for me is making the animations. I hate
attempting it lol I’d have someone else do for me in a heartbeat. But
other than that, I truly enjoy meshing. I’m self-taught, so I am still teach-
ing myself each and every time I do mesh. I get a completely different
enjoyment from meshing compared to creating/deriving off of others
clothing or furniture etc. However, I will indeed state that I do enjoy
both with a passion.
FIERCE: Do you take a lot of custom orders and if yes how do people
contact you to place orders?
MR.LAVISH: On my free times, Yes. I do take custom orders through my
little group page. The group is called Proper, Inc. and all are welcomed
to join, it is a public group. Here is a link for all to see if interested: http://
tinyurl.com/m3z8bwa.
FIERCE: Well I know I will have to join and hopefully get a custom made
:) Now since the year is almost over, please tell us your highs and lows
of 2013 on imvu?
MR.LAVISH: During this lovely year, I’ve met some great people I would
even consider familia, and ofc, I have lost sum as well. I am still with my
beautiful wife of 3 years, can be a pain lmao but hey that’s a spouse for
ya. Now, I’ve met some evils, snakes, etc this year as well. There are peo-
ple going out their way because they are more well-known than I am
and are bootlegging my products and selling them on their group sites,
people straight copying my ideas, but it’s all good though, I mean I
don’t own baby gap (Katt Williams voice). I just pat my back and smile.
FIERCE: Lol @ Katt Williams voice. But you got the right attitude. Just
smile and know that you inspire the less fortunate. So what can we
expect from you in 2014?
MR.LAVISH: Expect more public homes, I am release a lot of homes for
the 2014 year. I will be releasing new meshes this upcoming month all
the way into the 2014 year as well.
FIERCE: Ooohh I cant wait! It was great talking with you and I enjoyed
getting to know more about you I hope the readers did as well. But
before we finish up do you have any advice for up and coming creators?
MR.LAVISH: Stay true to yourself, you don’t have to change for a title or
status. I am sure you will continue to do just fine being the same old
you. Unless you are one of those obnoxious assholes and may need too
lol but try ya best to stick to the true YOU.

FIERCE WINNER
FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE TEAM FIERCE A SPECIAL THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPOR-TUNITY TO BE A PART OF THIS GROUP.
EVERY CREATOR AND MODEL A PART OF THIS GROUP ARE TRULY TALENTED, I RESPECT THE TIME AND DEDICATION THAT HAS BEEN PUT FORTH IN TEAM FIERCE BY YOU SHANI AND THE REST OF THE TEAM.
I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO WISH EVERYONE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
IDB
Fierce Creator of the month for De-cember!
FIERCE: A lot of people would say
your “IMVU Famous” What do you think
about the creators that take that title a little
too serious?
lDB: I feel that it’s not about the Fame,
creating should be about having fun and
bringing forth your ideas to the IMVU
Community. People that take that title a lit-
tle too serious should relax and remember
what creating is actually about. “Arrogance
has nothing to do with Greatness!” ― C.
JoyBell C.
FIERCE: Love that quote your sharing
knowledge and keeping us fierce...loves it.
Now you and I both have a love for Keyshia
Ka’oir a.k.a Keyshia Dior’s style, but what
other real life famous people inspire you?
lDB: Yes I see that you and I both have simi-
lar interests in styles, I am most inspired by
new trends and artists with an innovative
style.
FIERCE: I have seen a lot of people on pulse
saying that the catalogue is looking very
basic lately and all the same why do you
think that is?
lDB: Most fads and trends vary from each
person and creators tend to the buyers
style, so as the buyers style changes so will
the designs. Each creator has their own
unique style and I personally do not feel
that the catalogue is looking basic.
FIERCE: Another topic that seems to be very
popular is catty boosting. How do you feel
about creators gifting their product just to
get on the first page?
lDB: Advertisement/Promoting is a part of
business, however I do not feel that pro-
moting every item you make is needed to
be successful as an IMVU Creator.
When we were trying to decided who would be the creator of the month, everyone came up with the same person...lDB also known as DesireableBeauty. We introduced you to her back in September. She is one of the founding members of Fierce Creations and one of the most popular creators on imvu. Since we last spoke to her back in September, She have been focusing more on her designs and introducing more new fashionable styles to IMVU that is surely keeping the ladies of IMVU Fierce! So it was a hands down decision that lDB would be our
FIERCE: No you seem to come with some new every day, I’m
always shopping from you catty. But it does not come as easy for
others and file sales and file stealing seem to be on an all time
high. And if they aren’t buying files they are creating what every-
one is now calling basic, or just sticking name brand logo’s on
items to get sales.. Do you think the “talent of creating” is dead?
lDB: No I don’t feel that the “talent of creating” is dead at all. Each
creator uses his/her talents to display their fashion ideas and
dedication.
FIERCE: Ok so tell me 3 creators right now that your loving their
style and keeps you looking fierce when you go shopping?
lDB: This is a hard question lol…There are so many great cre-
ators but if I had to list the first 3 that come to mind will be 1.
RiskeeDimenar 2. Fears 3.Coochie
FIERCE: Is there a creator that you look up to?
lDB: There is no individual creator I look up to but all creators on
IMVU provide me with inspiration to work hard and enjoy what
our jobs are as Creators.
HIGHS & LOWS OF 2013
lDB: Every chance I get to create is a high for me, the only
lows I’ve ever encountered on IMVU is enforcing security on
my creative style.
FIERCE: What can we expect from you in 2014?
lDB: A dynamic new style that’s inspired by today’s fads and
tomorrow’s innovations ;)
FIERCE WINNER
So I’m going to put myself on the line for a
little humorous fun.
I get a lot of compliments on my style..so I wanted to extend the offer for to the other members
of #TeamFierce to see if they could do it better
than I can.
I know your sitting there thinking to yourself who does this chick think she is..lol But for those who
love me I welcomed them a chance to knock me off my high horse....
for those who hate me...I gave them a chance to stick it to me. And shut
me up for once..lol
All they had to is out dress me with the
chosen fit.
I posted an outfit from a chosen Fierce Dev, and gave 3 weeks to dress it up how you see fit
and post their unedited screenshot.
But the twist was they didn’t get to see my pic. After the 3 weeks were up we picked a couple
favorites and sent them to a panel of anonymous
judges to see, CAN YOU DO IT BETTER
THAN BAM???

Fierce Angel of the
MONTHShe is a 33 year old mom of 5 in real life and 2 on IMVU from
Houston, Texas. She takes great pride in being a mother and
just as much pride in being an Fierce Angel. Since joining the
team back in early October she has made her mark and become
a very popular angel. So when it came time to pick the December
Angel of the month we knew it has to be none other than
IAryahKayneI
FIERCE: How did you learn about imvu?
ARY: It was something I had always seen advertisements for but never
thought twice about it until I got extremely bored one day...and the rest
is history..lol.
FIERCE: What made you get into modeling on imvu?
ARY: Well I am a big fan of RIP The Runway. I watch it every year. So when I
first started IMVU there was a competition called “RIP THE RUNWAY” and so
of course I entered. The whole thing was a disaster but it sparked a passion
for modeling in me. I went to several different agencies but could never
find the right fit for me. So I just stopped modeling all together until 2012
when I began working for G&G models and from there things took off.
FIERCE: What are your strength and weakness as far as creating pics?
ARY: My strength I would say is attention to detail..Its the little things I pay
most attention to. I spend aloooot of time looking for the right background
and poses. My weakness? Definitely that I am extremely critical of myself
when it comes to editing.
FIERCE: What do you like most about modeling for Fierce
ARY: MANNN...I LOVE THE PEOPLE I WORK WITH!!! Even though I don’t know
everybody on the team..yet! lol. I feel like we are a big family. The lack of
drama within Fierce is refreshing. There is so much talent within the Fierce
team and I have met some really amazing people since I’ve been here.
Everyone is positive and about business. I’ve learned so much since joining
Fierce.
FIERCE: Awww Im so glad you like the team, we are very lucky to have you
as one of our V.I.P and most requested models. Please Tells us what you
think the must have item is for every model
ARY: POSES!
FIERCE: Lol I so agree with you there that’s why I hate taking pics. I can
never find the right pose. But tell the reads what do you think is the key to
making a fierce ad?
ARY: ORIGINALITY! Having your own vision. It ain’t nothing fierce about
imitation! JUSSSSAYIN!
FIERCE: You know you talking the gospel truth on that. And you are very
original. So how would you describe your style in 3 words?
ARY: UNAPOLOGETIC.SIMPLE.FIERCE.
FIERCE: Besides modeling what do you do when you’re online?
ARY: HUH? THERE ARE OTHER THINGS TO DO BESIDES WORK O.0 LOL I’m
kidding, but all I do when I’m online really is work. when I’m not editing,
I’m with a patient. I am also a private doctor who caters to those who desire
privacy and flexibility throughout their experience.
FIERCE: Ooohh good to know, cause if I ever lose my mind again and have
some more pixel kids I know where to go..lol. So beside joining Fierce what
were your highs of 2013 and besides not finding Fierce sooner what were
your lows of 2013 on imvu?
ARY: HIGHS - I got a lot done this year as far as modeling...I had the plea-
sure to work with some very talented individuals. LOWS - I lost a couple of
“friends” this year, but things like this happen for a reason and I wish noth-
ing but the best to those people who are no longer part of my life.
FIERCE: Where would you like to see yourself in your imvu future
ARY: I hope to be surrounded by good people and I hope I continue to
grow as a model and editor.
FIERCE: Any advice for up and coming models?
ARY: I MENTIONED THIS ONCE BEFORE...BUT IM GONNA MENTION IT
AGAIN...BE ORIGINAL!It’s one thing to look good and know your stuff. But If
you’re copying other peoples styles and looks. You’re selling yourself short.
There is a lot to be learned in the modeling industry if you’re serious about
it. But if you’re too busy watching the next model, how are you ever gonna
grow and be the best possible model you can be?
I just love it when all the concept comes together

All I want for Chistmas is you GONE!!!
T he leaves have finally fallen and the ice has covered the grass. People are feast-ing on turkey and dressing
while waiting for Santa to make his arrival in December. After opening our gifts and celebrat-ing the birth of Christ, we pop a bottle of champagne to bring in the new year wishing for wonder-ful things to come for 2014.
Alaina Blaque here once again ladies and gents of IMVU! The holi-days are my favorite time of year but for many others its a dread-ful season. What is it about the holidays that makes people want to depart and make their way towards an exit? Depending on where you are I am sure many of us are trying to stay warm, so why not cuddle up with your current boo? But many of you are wanting to be single before christmas and others before the new year. Personally speaking if you are not happy in your relationship or you have been wanting a way out waiting till the holidays is a bad time to do it! But I say do it right away rather than waiting people! Don’t be a grinch this holiday season. Show a little love on Christmas day! LOL.
Now I cannot be B.S. around with because I am up on a man’s game these days. We as women may pretend we don’t know what the deal is when it comes down to dating but we actually do. He just may not be aware of it! First, lets start with giving gifts. The number one reason anyone would break up during christmas is because they DO NOT want to GIFT YOU. In my opinion thats such a cop out! Your man is either EL Cheapo or he most definitely is a cold hearted one. He could also break up with you and send you home with a
goodbye gift. That’s even worse in my eyes. He’s basically saying Merry Christmas but I do not want you anymore so take this gift as a token of my sincerest apology. Sad right? I agree!
Now ladies that is something you do not waNt to happen to you. The holiday season is a symbolic time where you’re making a state-ment, and if he’s not sure, particu-larly if you haven’t been dating for several years, a lot of people have issues about gift giving and how intimate the gift giving is and they get frightened because they don’t want to put pressure on the other person, but on the other hand they don’t want to feel like a fool giving something and not getting anything back in return. Another reason people breakup during the holiday season is because your time is up.
A new year is finally arriving and the number one thing on his new year’s resolution list is to get rid of you! Many of us know that the relationships we are in aren’t work-ing for us. Could be that you are not in love anymore, the sex got old, family issues created a rift between the two of you, you both are on two different paths and/or it could be someone you were sleeping with and it turned out to be a complete disaster. Maybe not what you wanted or planned for? Whatever the reasons are I think it is sad to leave someone during the holiday season when its about love, family and being with that special someone. Breaking up can be very depressing. Being around family and friends during this time will be very awkward and difficult for you and your ex. I will also advise you to stay away from the alcohol while dealing with this sit-uation. That can lead to you saying mor doing something you
may regret later. We all know the holidays are a great time to eat our asses off and drink til we fall out. But do it with a light heart.
Another thing that could cause issues for you is issues for you is oth-ers will look at you as if you are a heartless person. If you dumped your significant other at this time. NOW, some of you could careless about what other people think but people NEVER forget the bad you do. On the positive side of this topic breaking up before new years could be benefi-cial because you won’t be bringing in any baggage from the previous year. If the breakup is mutual and you both have come to a conclu-sion things aren’t working taking that step to go solo before the new year is admirable. I know some of us includ-ing myself are superstitious. Yes we wash all our clothes before the new year, clean out our closets, boil black eye peas or greens for blessing in finances or just good luck. Releasing yourself from a bad relationship is a breath of fresh air and it will most definitely uplift you. If you do this please be considerate and upright about the situation. Although we know not everyone will do this but I hope if you’re on the receiving end of a breakup that you’re able to cope with it during the holidays and move forward.
I wish all of you a happy holidays and a happy new year from me xAlainaBlaquex your sex/love guru! Looking forward to bringing you more Lipstick Sex in 2014!!! Until next time... I am over and out! Salute!

Summer time
Each of the seven days of Kwanzaa represents a different principle of the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles). When a new candle is lit each day it represents one of these prin-ciples.
Kwanzaa is a 7 day festival celebrating the African American people, their culture and their history. It is a time of celebration, com-munity gathering, and reflection. A time of endings and beginnings. Kwanzaa begins on December 26th, the day after Christmas, and continues until New Years Day, January 1st.
Celebrate your heritage
The First Day of Kwanzaa (December 26)On the first day of Kwanzaa the black candle is lit in the Kinara. The black candle represents the first principle - Umoja (oo-MOH-jah): Unity.
The Second Day of Kwanzaa (December 27)On the second day the black candle is again lit, as well as the farthest red candle on the left. This represents the 2nd principle of Kwanzaa - Kujichagulia (koo-jee-chah-goo-LEE-ah): Self-Determination.
The Third Day of Kwanzaa (December 28)On the third day the black candle is lit, then the farthest left red, and then the
farthest right green candle. This represents the 3rd principle of Kwanzaa - Ujima (oo-JEE-mah): Collective work and respon-sibility.
The Fourth Day of Kwanzaa (December 29)On the fourth day the black candle is lit, then the farthest left red, the farthest right green. And then the next red candle on the left. This re-presents the 4th principle of Kwanzaa - Ujamaa (oo-jah-MAH): Collective economics.
The Fifth Day of Kwanzaa (December 30)On the fifth day the black candle is lit, then the farthest left red, the farthest right green, the next red and then the next green candle. This re-presents the 5th principle of Kwanzaa - Nia (NEE-ah): Purpose.
The 7 Principals of Kwanzaa Umoja = Unity
Kuj ichagul ia=Sel f Determination
Ujima = Collective Work & Responsibility
Imani = Faith
To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation and race.
To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves and speak for ourselves
To build and maintain our commu-nity together and to make our Broth-er’s and sister’s problems, our prob-lems and to solve them together.
To believe with all our hearts in our parents, our teachers, our leaders, our people and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.
Ujamaa = Cooperative EconomicsTo build and maintain our own stores, shops and other businesses and to profit from them.
Nia = PurposeTo make as our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.
Kuumba = CreativityTo do always as much as we can, in the way that we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful than when we inherited it.
The Sixth Day of Kwanzaa (December 31)On the sixth day the black candle is lit, then the farthest left red, the farthest right green, the next red, the next green and then the final red candle. This represents the 6th principle of Kwanzaa - Kuumba (koo-OOM-bah): Creativity.
The sixth day, which occurs on New Years Eve, is a special day. This is the day of the Kwanzaa Karamu or Kwanzaa Feast. On this special day we remember our ancestors will read the Tamshi La Tutaonana (TAM-shi la Tu-ta-u-NA-na). The Tamshi La Tutaonana was written by Dr. Ka-renga, the creator of Kwanzaa, as a farewell statement to the feast and the year.
Strive for discipline, dedication, and achievement in all you do. Dare struggle and sacrifice and gain the strength that comes from this. Build where you are and dare leave a legacy that will last as long as the sun shines and the water flows. Practice daily Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba, and Imani. And may the wisdom of the ances-tors always walk with us. May the year’s end meet us laughing, and stronger. May our children honor us by following our example in love and struggle. And at the end of next year, may we sit together again, in larger numbers, with greater achievement and closer to liberation and a higher level of life.
The Seventh Day of Kwanzaa (January 1)On the seventh day the black candle is lit, then the farthest left red, the farthest right green, the next red candle, the next green, the final red and then the final green cand-le. This represents the 7th principle of Kwanzaa - Imani (ee-MAH-nee): Faith.

caught up with the lady that is bringing the world of “The Sims” to IMVU
and helping you build your virtual town.
FIERCE: When and why did you join imvu?
NATIVE:My daughter introduced me to IMVU in 2006 but I joined in 2007 to
see what its all about because I enjoy having fun and helping people. I also
joined the discontinuation of Yahoo 360 its a place where I truly shined in
my own spotlight.
FIERCE: When I first started seeing your stuff in the catty it reminded me
The Sims, So I do want to know what was your inspiration for starting your
imvu city?
NATIVE: Well I was a Sims Fanatic back in the day so once I got on here
real good I put 2 things together me knowing graphic and my love for the
game. I got better over time and finally started making my own meshes
this year which was a goal that God helped me succeed.
FIERCE: Can you describe your creating process?
NATIVE: Well first I thank the lord for my talent because without him I’ll
be nothing! I take care of my RL family (multitasking throughout the day)
and then between breaks I put on some smooth jazz, flute music, or some-
thing with a nice upbeat that help me positively think about the wants
and needs of the IMVU community. Then I start mapping out a plan so I
can achieve that goal and post it right up front and center on sticky notes
everywhere including my personal developing work group. I do this to stay
focus because certain things distract me easily. Once you get it done the
reward is endless because people are satisfied by leaving you messages
and constantly coming back for more.
FIERCE: Gosh I wish I could be that focus. I normally just go with the flow..
lol but tell us what do you like & hate about creating?
NATIVE: The only thing I dislike about creating is having to worry about
thieves or copy cats stealing your ideas or hard work.. I also wish I could
get paid more for selling my credits to resellers. It forced me to work twice
as hard to pay real life bills.
FIERCE: I totally hear you on the people stealing your ideas. I know a lot
of creators struggle with that. Now speaking of creators, who are your 3
fave creators?
NATIVE: I honestly don’t have favorites because there are so many devel-
opers I support. I basically purchase what I like from them and leave cool
reviews.
FIERCE: What makes you fierce?
NATIVE: My peaceful personality of being a wise individual who’s in touch
with my inner being and surroundings.
FIERCE: What made you join fierce creations?
NATIVE: I love being around people who enjoy showing and sharing their
talents..
FIERCE: As the year comes to an end, tell us what you enjoy and disliked
the most this year on imvu?
NATIVE: Well I started off doing great until around June the devil tried to
steal my joy by permanently disabling my account under false accusa-
tions but I fought it with friends by continually calling, writing, inbox,
poking staff, and making forums to the IMVU company every single day!
I was wrongfully accused of being part of IMVU staff after claiming I do
worked here as a Content Mesh Creating Developer. I think IMVU need to
change its rules as far as developers not being recognized as part of the
team that make this site what it is instead of Cattle to be milked or our
credits because we make profits from our work and get paid real money!
Im very happy to have my account back 2 weeks after fighting so hard
with friends especially my best friend Stymesh! Every since then things
have been looking good!
FIERCE: What can we expect from you in 2014?
NATIVE:Hopefully better communication other than just pulse with friendships because I work so hard in real life involving IMVU and also bringing more quality products under other ac-counts that people can derive and build their own Virtual Towns..
FIERCE: Any Advice for up and coming creators?
NATIVE: Yes’ this is for both current and upcoming developers.. Please stay positive having an open mind when creating. Do not pay attention to other developer’s work because most get intimi-dated doing that and feel they can’t achieve their own goals. Do what you like and how you want to create it! If the sales not hap-pening write away its time to change up the game by placing your work in the right area’s of the site to get notice. Not every mesh creator places their work in the right category! The key is TAG-GING and LISTING! Words mean a lot when selling an ideal prod-uct and please reach out to foreigners by using translators and embed the invisible black html wording into your product pages. You will get better sales and better views even if they don’t un-derstand English.

RiskeeDimenar
Fierce Magazine •
MAKING FIERCE ACCRESSORIES DAILY :) Few people know this about about her but she loves to read, she also love
music. Learning and exploring new things. In addition to those interest, fashion and creating are a very big part of who she is. we are talking about none other than, RiskeeDimenar .
FIERCE: How did you find out about IMVU?
RISKEE: I was online one day bored so I started searching online fashion
games..lol
FIERCE: When and why did you start creating?
RISKEE: I started creating 2009 and that was because there were certain
things I wanted that I couldn’t find in shop.
FIERCE: What made you start doing accessories instead of clothing or
rooms?
RISKEE: Well actually I started out making skins then I went to only doing
custom skins from there it was clothes and shoes. I eventually became
bored with those and took a little break from imvu during that time I
started my own business and decided to bring these same pieces to imvu
I’ve been making accessories every since.
FIERCE: Describe your style…
RISKEE: Fierce, Fearless, and Risque(that’s where my name came from)lol
FIERCE: Name some of your fave creators?
Omg if you knew how much I shopped you would know that’s hard for me
to do lol. But if I really had to pick off top I would say iiXylia, LuvableMeMe
FIERCE: On average how many items would you say you create weekly?
RISKEE: Including customs and products made just for me and my bbg that
arent even in shop I would say around 70 or more.
FIERCE: What do you like and dislike about doing customs?
RISKEE: What I love the most is when I’m able to be creative with the
designs. Dislikes? hmmm when my customs are made into meshes or cop-
ied and I see them in someone else shop.
FIERCE: If someone wanted to place a custom order how would they get
in contact with you?
RISKEE: They can inquire and place orders through messages and if I’m
not backed up I do on the spot customs when I’m in my room High End
Trapping. FIERCE: Do you have any plans to do 3d meshes?
RISKEE: No, not at the moment I don’t.FIERCE: Highs and lows for 2013 on imvu?RISKEE: I did a lot of BS cleaning in 2012 so my 2013 imvu life has been fabulous a little of the imvu creator politics here and there but for the most part 2013 has been a great year for me.FIERCE: What can we expect from you in 2014?
RISKEE: More hot and out of the box pieces!

They say great minds think alike . In the Fashion world it isn’t uncommon to see outfits that are similar or even identical to each other. And the IMVU Fashion world is no different.
The ladies of #TeamFierce are truely that and are never short of it. Always adding their own swag to their looking. Making the creators style their very own.
Every week we will update the outfits from our very own Fierce Developers. The fourth week of the month we will choose 2 contestants from each featured outfit and will then be voted on by a panel of anonymous judges to see who rocked it best.
This month we let the ladies have some fun, featuring looks from some of the Fiercest Creators in the game, week one the ladies got to show their style with a dress from the 1st Annual QCZ Fierce Fall Fashion show, Hot Suga made by ShaniDaBawse. One week two the ladies got to wear a Keyshia Ka’oir inspired dress made by lDB and for the third week the ladies rocked a black sheer top by RiskeeDimenaR
WEEK 2 - ALL THE RIGHT PLACE BY LDBWEEK 1 - HOT SUGA BY SHANIDABAWSE

WEEK 2 - ALL THE RIGHT PLACE BY LDB WEEK 3 - GAUZE-JUS! BY RISKEEDIMENAR
We want to thank all the ladies that submit-ted pics for the who rocked it best con-test and we enjoyed adding this we twist to the group as well as the magazine. We do hope you will con-tinue to show us just how fierce you can be next month. Thanks to
the creators for creat-ing such fierce out fits to help keep the ladies of IMVU Fierce and big thank you to all the judges. we know it was a tough one to judge cause all the ladies looked great. And again big to all the winners from last month

kind of weird lol but I just enjoy how I am able to be creative with them.
FIERCE: Besides creating what how you spend your time when you’re on imvu?
CAKEMONSTA: I enjoy being around ppl, so I spend time with my imvu fam and friends. Also, I am always in public rooms, so I meet new people all day, which is awesome! Well, if they’re not stalkers or drama-starters, then yes, its awesome lol
FIERCE: You’re too cute, please tell us your highs and lows of 2013 on imvu:
CAKEMONSTA: There have been minor drama this year, not much though. My amor had been disabled briefly and we got thru that successfully. Of course, when you have a title, there is drama along with it. But, I have tough skin, so I tend to block out a lot. But, I can say that I have enjoyed this year, I taught myself how to mesh and have been successful making a few meshes on my own.
FIERCE: What can we expect from you in 2014?
CAKEMONSTA: Can expect even more boy kid clothing, meshes, toys, rooms and much more in the upcoming year.
FIERCE: I can’t say how much I enjoyed this interview and Imma tell you once more how cute your are. All you other avi kids need to take some lessons from you. Do you have any advice for up and coming creators
CAKEMONSTA: Do not steal, it is not worth being dmca’d guys. There are so many ideas that we all can explore. Be creative.
In real life he is 22 years old. But Online he roleplays the age of 3 and he is hands down the cutest avi kid I ever met. I was warned he’ll write on my walls and throw a fit, he’s a little monsta. But when I met him he was the sweetest and cutest thing I’ve ever seen on IMVU and instantly fell in love with his lil cute braids. Almost made me want more pixels kids. I was excited to invited Cakemonsta and learn more about him.
FIERCE: Please tell us how you got started with creating ?
CAKEMONSTA: Well, around the summer of 2011 me and my wife (remember he only role-plays the age of 3) thought it would be a good idea to team up and make some kid cloth-ing for our role-play children because during that time there weren’t much to choose or decent enough to wear. So we came up with the Cakemonsta and Cuppycake and have been successful ever since.
FIERCE: Do you think because you are a kid avi you get treated differently on IMVU?
CAKEMONSTA: Oh yea, ofc. Kid avis get away with murder due to everyone wantinG to adopt u lmao but I remind everyone I am an adult, and normally people are cool with it. But I don’t roleplay much, I am mainly on cake to create. However, I do have a mom and she’s pretty awesome, but yes, I would believe kid avis are treated different than others.
FIERCE: How would you describe your personality?
CAKEMONSTA: Well, I believe I am a very chill, reserved, down to earth gent. I am 100% drama-free. I love helping and going out my way for others. However, I shy away from all evils. I don’t get involved with anyones issues-dramas because sooner or later they tend to become urs as well, and again, I am not down for drama lol.
FIERCE: What do you enjoy most about creating?
CAKEMONSTA: I just enjoy creating in general. But, I do love the brainstorming stage of cre-ating the most. Why? While in this process I have so much I can do and have billion of ideas running through my head which makes such an excitement and rush for me. Sounds
C A K E M O N S TA HE JUST MIGHT BE THE CUTEST KID ON IMVU
