In the still and the dark of the night;
With moonlight casting an errie light;
The SwIrL Models come out to play
Flittering too and fro in the glimmering rays

February will be here soon.
Listen as the clock chimes the hour of 5 and noon.
BEWARE dear friends – keep your ears to the ground
Or you won’t hear – the whisperings, the sound.

Filipa Thespian has something spectacular up her sleeve;
Will keep us in awe, until the hour we leave.
She’s toiled through the nights as these formations
took place.
And guarantees us – she’ll have another Ace.

Shhhhhhhhhh – listen, do you hear them…
The Whispersssss in the dark.
Keep logging onto this site
And we guarantee your utmost delight!
Whisperssssss – whispersssssss in the dark!

Keep checking this site to be the first to find out just what these whispers are saying.  I shall whisper a little louder when I say this “It is going to be awesome!”

First, all of us at Swirl are very excited to welcome Evangeline Miles (Evie’s Closet) and Talia Lefavre (The Graceful Lily) to the Swirl stage.  Their magnificent creations will adorn our talented models as they strut their stuff for your viewing pleasure on Saturday November 14th.

But wait, there’s more …

We have recently acquired a full sim of our own (yay).  We are hot and heavy into the building phase and the show will be held here in … Park Avenue .  If you’re a designer, you’ll probably want to keep your eyes open for the sim opening as we will have many beautiful shops in a classy city setting with the Theatre as the center focal point.  Yes, we’re planning on theatrical events and shows, fashion shows, entertainment and more.  There’s more to this sim than meets the eye right now, more postings on this as it nears completion.

But wait … there’s still more …

We have just been informed that the magnificent Mr. Frolic Mills, owner and CEO of BOSL magazine and The Frolic Mills show, creator and host of the Miss Virtual World and Mr Virtual World model competitions, will be announcing at the Swirl on November 14th!  We’re so thrilled and excited to have this fashion legend grace our halls with his presence *gags* (j/k lol I love you Frolic ) … This will be a show you wont want to miss!!!
