For those that don’t know, AviLicious Magazine used to be named Glamour IMVU Magazine.
Due to an unfortunate email from IMVU.com, we had to change the name of the magazine because IMVU.com didn’t want use to use “IMVU” in the name of the magazine.
So, Glamour IMVU Magazine (named by BabiiBunnie) is now AviLicious Magazine (named by ChaChaFance). Even though the name has changed, the magazine is still the same & was created by BabiiBunnie.
ChaCha: When did you first start Glamour IMVU Magazine?
BabiiBunnie: I first started the Glamour IMVU Magazine on August 21st ‘07 at 1:12 a.m. eastern!
ChaCha: Wow, you remember the exact time & everything! What made you decide to start Glamour IMVU Magazine?
BabiiBunnie: I started the Glamour IMVU Magazine because I thought it would give me something fun to do with my spare time. And I had a lot of it! But then I got a job and I became really busy in my real life, so I wasn’t able to put a lot of time into the Glamour IMVU Magazine. So I put it up for adoption, and you (ChaChaFance) took it over! And I must say you’re doing an outstanding job!
ChaCha: Thank you! Where did you come up with the name “Glamour IMVU Magazine”?
BabiiBunnie: I came up with the magazine title “Glamour” from searching on Google actually! It was a pretty hard search because a lot of names were already taken. But after searching for a few minutes I thought of the song “Glamourous” by Fergie, and that is what I named the magazine after.
ChaCha: Can you give me some details on how the magazine worked? I want to know more about how you managed it, how well it did, where it was located (website), did you have a big or small staff, what kind of material did you have in it, etc.
BabiiBunnie: Well I must say, it wasn’t an easy task! I struggled with keeping it up all the time, always trying to get new staff! It was a never-ending process. It didn’t really end up going as well as I had planned. It was located at http://imvuglamour.moonfruit.com/ and the forum was located at the IMVU Groups, which you (ChaChaFance) use now! The staff was kind of at a medium size. We had about 10-15 people, but not all of them were loyal to the magazine. The materials I used in the magazine were mainly fill-in forms for applications and assignments!
ChaCha: What made you decide to hand over the magazine to someone else?
BabiiBunnie: I decided to hand over the magazine because it was too much for me. I did have a lot of free time in the beginning but then I got a job, and my real life became way too busy. I really never had time anymore to keep up with the magazine.
ChaCha: Wow, that must have been hard for you. What made you decide to hand it over to me?
BabiiBunnie: The reason I handed it over to you was because when I read over your application, I thought it was very good. You had a layout site, and I felt you were going to be able to run it very well and get a lot of people who would be dedicated to work for you!
ChaCha: How do you think the magazine has progressed since handing it over to me?
BabiiBunnie: It has gotten bigger, and better! Outstanding job ChaCha!
ChaCha: Thank you again! Are you happy with your decision to hand it over to me and how do you feel about the magazine now?
BabiiBunnie: I’m very happy that I handed the magazine over to you! I feel a lot better knowing that my magazine didn’t have to go down the tube when I started to slack. It went on to new and better things!
ChaCha: I’m glad that you feel that way! Thank you BabiiBunnie for that short and quick history. I’m glad that I could live up to and exceed your expectations and I promise I won’t let you down!
