Dear Readers,
Well… Here It Is ladIes and gentlemen. Versus MagazIne has fInally
publIshed theIr very fIrst magazIne for the sprIng season. I must say that I am
VERY happy wIth how thIs turned out. It was a rode to go through, but we
managed to stIll come out strong. To all those that had words to spIt, traps to force
us to quIt, or even had the thought that we wouldn’t pull through, I thank you the
most. You pushed me and my staff to go harder than ever. People came, people
vanIshed, but stIll we pulled through. I know for sure that the fIght doesn’t stop
here. BUT WE READY!!!!
I have to gIve a BIG thank you shout out to my close frIend, home
gIrl, sIsta from another motha, ChOcOLaTLIQuOr aka BossyBadAss. She takes
the roles as my ManagIng DIrector, GraphIc DesIgn DIrector,, and FashIon/Beauty
DIrector. Hell, she may even soon become part owner. I love you to death baby
gIrl. You have been wIth me through thIs emotIonal, frustratIng, rollercoaster.
StartIng from the never forgotten magazIne company I fIrst had “TRACE” to now,
you stuck wIth me and became a partner that I could not afford loosIng. You
understand me and my CRAZY ways. No matter how much I get stressed out, your
there to help me solve all sItuatIons. I thank you for your honesty, frIendshIp, and
partnershIp.
Thank you to all the models that sIgned up for the very fIrst, all the
people that support the group, the graphIc team (ChOcOLaTLIQuOr, TRUEVYBZ),
Model RecruIter and MarketIng DIrector (MzLaSheebaMansonz), and our newest
graphIc artIst, (xD3VIOUSx) glad to have you on board.
Before closIng thIs edItors note, I just want to say to all the readers,
look out for the next bIg Issue by Versus MagazIne, “InternatIonally Known”. It’s all
about takIng you all on thIs amazIng rIde to the best fashIon capItals known. You
tIred of seeIng the same old fashIon on IMVU and the same ole developers?
(laughs) We are too. LOOK OUT!

It has not been long sIncethe former magazIne group known as “TRACE” was deleted after the CEO/EdItor-In-ChIef, SassIeKK007 also known as IISensatIonal, was dIsabled. The company was on theIr way to publIsh theIr thIrd magazIne Issue that was to be tItled “Hard Rock Love” for a new lookIng on the holIday known as ValentIne’s Day. No one seems to know exactly what happen to cause the group to also get reported soon shut down and deleted. “There had been so many Issues goIng on wIth staff that led Into personal lIfe Issues. I wasn’t for sure If It could have been anyone who I had formally worked wIth that reported the group or someone that just had somethIng agaInst the group. Maybe It could have been somethIngthat the group was valuatIng, I have no clue. I do know why my account was dIsabled, but that I wIsh not to talk about,” says IISensatIonal. “What matters now Is thIs new project that I have managed to establIsh along wIthclose frIends and staff.”

WIth Versus MagazIne dIfferent standards have been expected. WIth a downfall that TRACE magazIne had taken, a strong comeback Is what has been expected from the newest group. More organIzed, orIgInal, through the growth of thIs company the knowledge and experIence that was gaIned from the prevIous group wIll now take effect Into the new and Improved.

You’ve seen her name In plenty of
groups and conversatIons, and you’ve been to
her fashIon shows and bought her clothes.
WIth a style that Is both sImplIstIc and sexy,
she defInItely stands out to be one of the
hottest growIng developers In the “urban”
genre of IMVU and spreadIng abroad. However,
despIte her popularIty, she’s lIke your down-
to-earth home gIrl you kIck It wIth on the daIly
jokIng In your sIttIng room. In my case, my
offIce. I got the chance to sIt down wIth the
lovely MIss JAELOVA to dIscuss the comeback
of her old group BoldOutlook that she deleted
about a year or so ago. Somehow durIng our
“IntervIew” and gettIng past our sIdetrack
conversatIons (WhIch get hIlarIous! But I left
them out). I got It out of her, but It was more
fun just jokIng around wIth thIs crazy woman….

(JaeLova proceeds to correct her posture and cross her legs)
CL: Must u always be on poInt?
JaeLova: BAM! Of course I must B.B. Of course I must…. -looks to the sky-
CL: Oh jeezuz, gIve me strength
JaeLova: We'll sIt here all nIght wIth me beIng stupId. Come on gIrl. Lol
CL: Okay okay. So MIss Jaelova!
JaeLova: Yes ma'am!
CL: Break that down for me. J-EYE-LOVE-AH? People trIp me out on sayIng your name
JaeLova: >_>. Really?
CL: So serIous
JaeLova: Well my name Is Jael pronounced J.L, and the lova Is somethIng I've
used In all my usernames on any network. So that's why the L Is
capItalIzed.....JaeLova :D
CL: Thank u for clearIng that one of the many mysterIes of the fabulous JaeLova
JaeLova: Your welcome
CL: Very cute suIt by the way. Yours?
JaeLova: Thank you and I wIsh. ThIs Is by StIllwater I thInk. Really nIce products.
It fIts my style to a T
CL: Clean and mod, but very fem
JaeLova: Mhm. Classy and straIght to the busIness
CL: Indeed. SpeakIng of busIness…thIs IntervIew Is actually about busIness and not fashIon…as
per usual
JaeLova: shocker lol
CL: Your group. SomethIng you're brIngIng back, correct?
JaeLova: Yes
23
CL: GIve me a lIttle hIstory on It. Also for our readers who don’t know about BoldOutlook
JaeLova: I want to brIng It back but somethIng a lIttle dIfferent thIs tIme. BoldOutlook was
orIgInally somethIng started by myself and a gIrl I was co-ownIng another group wIth
about a year and a half back. She got really busy In rl so I ended up takIng over BOL before
we even really got started. SInce I'm lazy It was a major headache at fIrst
CL: Of course
JaeLova: But once I got the hang of It, It became a great outlet for myself and people lIke
me
lookIng for conversatIon as apposed to just random games and contests.
CL: WhIch Is nIce...but somethIng u see In every group. :P~
JaeLova: Mhm. So Intellectual topIcs became the base of the group. And I was very grateful
that BOL was so accepted because I dIdn't thInk anybody would respond to It
CL: Hmmm… There are some Intellectual beIngs out there In IMVU after all.
JaeLova: GIrl, It's dIffIcult to fInd those people but once you do It makes IMVU a lIttle more
InterestIng. You can't always have mIndless chatter. Even though that's fun too
CL: True. However....BOL kInd of fell off, somewhat. Why Is that?
JaeLova: SImply put...I got tIred of It. It was holdIng me back from doIng what I wanted
Instead of what I had to do. WhIch was just beIng a developer and gettIng better at
graphIcs. I actually attempted to shut It down 3 dIfferent tImes but my group members kept
tellIng me not to. When I fInally hIt delete, It hurt....but I was kInda glad to see It go.
CL: Somewhere you created relatIonshIps and meanIngful conversatIons? I’m sure It hurt
JaeLova: Exactly. Some were surface frIendshIps that ultImately fell off, but there are those
who I really made connectIons wIth and stIll talk to today. I'm very grateful for BOL and
the group that proceeded It.
24
CL: I bet. However, wIth that deletIon came the developer that Is Jaelova. And mamI, you’re kInda bIg In the
dev world
JaeLova: Am I?
CL: QuIte.
JaeLova: Maybe I need to come out to play more because It's always news to me when I
hear that. lol
CL: That's actually refreshIng that you don't know. Most bIg name pro devs act mIghtIer than thou and etc,
but u're a goof troop
JaeLova: Lol!Thank ya thank ya! I try. And I know what you mean. I thInk those people are
the ones who feel unImportant In theIr real lIves so they get on here, achIeve somethIng
and feel better than others because they don't have that when they log off
CL: WhIch Is really really sad...and I serIously suspect that's the case wIth a few devs...but we won't name
names....-cough-
JaeLova: lmao you a mess
CL: Pssh, u don't know the half
JaeLova : All I know Is I don't talk to anyone that feels lIke they're better than others not
In rl or thIs vIrtual world. You d*** sure aren't better than me....and that wIll be our fIrst
argument -_-
ChOcOLaTLIQuOr : LOLZ!
-ahem- SERIOUSLY ….ur group. ur doIng a comeback
JaeLova: ThIs tIme wIth a partner
CL: Ooooo. Whoo?
JaeLova: One of my favorIte people on Imvu, IIsh
CL: SAGE!
JaeLova: y=Yes ma'am! And my gIrl DImedvIne wIll be helpIng us out as well
CL: Both, very cool ladIes
25
JaeLova: We've been workIng on a few thIng quIetly together and come to realIze she and
I thInk a lot a lIke so we'll see how thIs works, only hopIng for the best
CL: Are there any lIl tIdbIts you can share that we'll be lookIng at once you’re up and runnIng?
JaeLova: Hmmm. Well lIke I saId BoldOutlook wIll be a bIt dIfferent thIs tIme around. Of
course I'm stIll goIng to make Intellectual conversatIons and mIndless chatter major parts
of thIs group, but we do have a lot of fashIon orIented plans In mInd...tryIng to hold back
as much as possIble. lol
CL: Understandable. Gotta keep some thIngs secret...
JaeLova: Mhm I don't lIke to make everythIng publIc. I prefer to shut the hell up and
surprIse everyone
CL: Shall we say, "expect the unexpected...and then some?"
JaeLova: Perfect! Expect the unexpected.....and then some
CL: Oh gurl, u aInt know I’m an undercover genIus? lmaooooo
JaeLova: -_- Next. Lmao!
CL: RUDE! get out :P~
JaeLova: You love me! :p
CL: Eh....maybe
JaeLova: But keep In mInd, everythIng I do I love to make It the hottest. It needs to be
talked about. I need everybody that wants me to faIl to s*** themselves. When you keep
that mIndset....everybody feels It
CL : Okay...I thInk I do love u
JaeLova: Lmao yayyyyyyy!
CL: What can I say? You’re so frIckIn lovable...It's makIng me physIcally sIck-____-
JaeLova: and thIs Is why.............I'm JaeLova. (-looks to the floor....looks to the sky-)….and
scene.-_-
CLr:: LMAO!

Who better to be chosen as the “IT” gIrl for Versus
MagazIne? The one young lady you wIll catch In all the HOT
modelIng groups, contest, and magazInes such as thIs one,
CrunkIzm and her career on IMVU as one of IMVU’s hottest models
Is beIng known and recognIzed. See how she managed to go from
the ground on up to the top of the game.
29
30
ChOcOLaTLIQuOr: First off, thanks for the Interview mamaz. I know u have other things to do/could be
doing, etc
CrunkIzm: no problem at all. honored to be asked to do thIs
ChOcOLaTLIQuOr: Gurl please. You’re one of the Top Models on IMVU In the urban "genre". Was that a
personal goal of yours, or It just kind of came about
CrunkIzm: yep sure was. Anything I do I try to excel
ChOcOLaTLIQuOr: Indeed. I know I snatched you up personally when I was recruItIng models I loved your
work, and you stand out
CrunkIzm: ::blushes::
ChOcOLaTLIQuOr: seriously
CrunkIzm: too sweet. I appreciate It.
CL: you see so many carbon copies on here and ur different.
CrunkIzm: Ikr. there are so many girls that look alike
ChOcOLaTLIQuOr: So what Inspired your unique look?
CrunkIzm: Its softly based on my own look, as many would say. played around with a few
skins before I settled on this one. as far as clothes, I like funky s***. excuse my French
ChOcOLaTLIQuOr: lmao. Your good, I noticed that though. Ur not quite urban, but that I think, adds to
your allure
CrunkIzm: girl..u got me cheesy @ the screen
ChOcOLaTLIQuOr: Now...I saw you blossom In SK Elite. Talk about that.
CrunkIzm: Yeaa. SK helped push me and turned me on to devs I hadn't heard of. Imp
always searching for something different than what I see, and the creativity those girls
presented with their contests and the like helped further engage me…Make me think
further outside of the box...because I just wanted to outdo what was being done
ChOcOLaTLIQuOr: amen
31
Crunkizm: I don’t know if I achieved that necessarily…
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: I personally believe you have
Crunkizm: :)
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: And you won SK's top model, correct?
Crunkizm: Yes I did.
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: that's when you got a lot of the shine u deserved. I was so happy. “OH S***! MY
GURL WON!”, because you were darker, edgier, and know your look and how to work it
Crunkizm: well thanks dear. I def tried to turn it out
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: But I’m sure it took some time to get to that point of "pro model". When did you
get inspired?
Crunkizm: I of course started working with Vougin Divas. The owner, xCasinax,, used
to have a thread called picture perfect. You would post screenies in ur cutest fits with
flawless poses. She’d notice if hair came thru the clothes...fingers..etc. If the lashes
weren't right..eyebrows. Very tedious stuff. I respect that, because I'm a
perfectionist. The tips learned there were invaluable. That’s why it takes me awhile
to do an ad. I want to put the best foot forward always..Always enhance what I'm
doing. So with those tools...I just kept working with tutorials for my
graphics..screenie contests...contests period. Just kept plugging away..
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: Definitely the ambition of a pro. And you are one of the best at ads
Crunkizm: :)
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: I swear a lot of these new girls could use a lot of tutorships from you. But since
there's too many to try and tutor. what's some major advice u would give to a new model
Crunkizm: I thought about doing a school….practice practice practice. Dont rush.. Be
on time but don't rush
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: indeed.
Crunkizm: Take care and do the little things. Be neat
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr : omgah! Yes! Speaking for devs...we do look at the little things. Speaking OF devs,
who your favorite(s) you've worked for?
Crunkizm: ooo
32
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: On to the negative....is there a modeling horror story? We've all got one. :P
Crunkizm: umm..I don't want to name names
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: oh. no names >_<
Crunkizm: But there was this lady who had a magazine
and she selected me as model of the month
told me how much id get paid..had me do screenies
come time to post it..she couldn't pay me..which is fine..I coulda waited
but didn't even put the edition out. Theeen, she invites me..and asked me to gift another model
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: Oh wow! that's a no no.!
Crunkizm: mhmm
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: we won't say names...
Crunkizm: No we won’t.
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: however....PSA to group leaders, devs, Head editors. Get your creds up b4 u start
a business
Crunkizm: Right
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: Because asking your employees/featured guests to fund your business...so
unclassy…very ashy
Crunkizm: I pay out on my stuff on time, and i don’t have credits coming in from
work atm. All me. If you commit to something...follow thru…my sentiments
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: amen. Now, I know u model here and there, but I know you have other ventures
on IMVU. One, being the group I found thru u personally. “Femmez”
Crunkizm: Yes
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: what else is the gorgeous Crunk up to?
Crunkizm: I’m trying to learn how to dev >.<. failing miserably. Lol. Modeling at
one point and time consumed a lot of my time here. Finally taking time to do
that...Networking with different people that have different things going on…My
love is fashion though..the art of it all.
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: amen. You'll figure deving out. It took me a min too, but that cross over is
crazy.
33
Crunkizm: So I see
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: Femmez! Speak on it! I know you had a few parties. that I missed...-__-
Crunkizm: mmhmm. Lol. Its a fun group, mostly for smiles and giggles but…it represents
the bi/curious/lezzie women of imvu, about 320 members strong.
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: very strong. There's a larger demographic of women who appreciate women than IMVU
actually speaks on, or at least are curious about it
Crunkizm: mhmm. i just wanted a place for these women..who have similar interest..to
come and have fun and talk about different ish and just get together.
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: indeed. we may have to have another interview about it. last lil things, and we'll take a
racy shot. I’m all about racy. ;) Anything else you have planned for the future?
Crunkizm: racyyy! Oooo. Cross over into ps land, use my tablet more, and become a pro
dev
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: You and me both
Crunkizm: and I just might do the modeling school
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: Gawd...how these nobody models need one. But I appreciate this time we could chat a lil
bit mamaz
Crunkizm: No problem boo
ChOcOLaTLiQuOr: And I can say I knew you before the big blow up
Crunkizm: wooo wooot! Likewise
