The Vampires and the vultures

Some people aim is only to drain energy out from you.


They like vampire and vultures feed with your life fluids and leave you exahusted and bewildered , wondering what was the reason of their behaviour . Or worse wondering what you have done !!
Is not your fault , sweet butterfly , if not the fault to trust too much , specially at beginning .
The reason about that feast of blood , is a no reason really , they are predators , and maybe you are just the right victim at the right moment for them , nothing personal.
You can find them everywhere ..yes.. butterfly , dont open your eyes in astonishment , they are even in SL fashion world !! And they are many .

Some are naive so easily identificable and easy to cope with, because their gross behaviour in taking advantage of others , is so clear and lightens on their forehead like a traffic light , allowing people who are not totally blind to step away without regrets .

Some other instead , are much more dangerous , because their technique , often passive aggressive , is a mix of strictness and sweetness , a smile and a pout , now flattering and now detached, keeping one always on tip toe and that kind of " dead kitten " behavior ( even a male can be a dead kitten !) it is recognizable only after a while , when you are in that molasses till the neck and the damage has already started to produce in your mind.
They never criticize you in open , but when talking about you they have always an extitant tone of voice a movement of eyes "... yes .. she's good ..but .." , they never speak upfront to you but the grid is full of their speech done on your back, they always show you symphaty , and now and then for at least 10 minute you feel "the centre of world" , but then for the rest of the time you are with them they don't support you at all , eben showing a slightly bother about you .
They profess you friendship and love, but they always have a stab ready to use ( pret a porter ) under their cloak !!!
They are a more civilized kind of predators , better dressed and with a better spelling , but not less dangerous that the really ugly ones .

Now I dont want terrorize you !!! Come here ..dont run ... of course the SL fashion world is a fantastic place to work and stay , it is highly rewarding if you work hard , it is full of lovely , professional , wonderful, friendly, supportive ready to help , and really worthy people !!! Full of lovely collegues , agencies , designers , DJ, staff , all people which is a pleasure to work with and for .
So let's try to open our eyes wide and become more selective , lets not run in every contest we see , apply for every model call we know about , running running without to know why , lets not be pushed by hunger to work ending in not professional hands .
Lets stop now and then and lets make a little review about those requirements of seriousness that we all know what they are , lets check if they are all in place before to accept a work , and if we accepted it and we start to smell something not right ..lets follow our istinct .. lets step away , you are the best judge about what is the best for yourself ..and they won't change ..they never change .
lets be clever ( yep I am sure , butterflies have a brain!!! so lets use it )

DING !!!
Wake up butterfly !!
Butterfly defend yourself !

Defend your private life , your job and your dignity ..dont allow them to pull you down at their level and cause you damages that after.... when you want make the change of level.. in a high level career , where really high standards are required , are hard to fix .
Because some little black spots , some initial acquired flaw both on your style and on your curriculum are really persistent , they stay on you very very long , even when you seem to have won them , if you dont use the best detergent , rubbing hard with a harsh , intensive professional extra dose of training !!!
.. butterfly step away with a smile, never polemize in any case , but closing accurately all the doors at your back .

And to remember you, all that i talked about with a smile, I will write below what once said George Bernard Shaw

" I learned long ago never to wrestle with a pig .. you get dirty and besides the pig like it !! "

have a great day :)
