Congratulations Kaid!

As the world keeps spinning the impact of David Bowie, by Kaid Hawker, has become known all the more due to his tribute at April's Regal Runway Styling Challenge. Kaid has made a bold statement with his actions on and off the runway with sophistication, classiness, and inner creativity that a proper introduction of the man behind David Bowie MUST be made...

Before we begin Regal would like to again apologize for the scoring error that occurred.

"No need too, I didn't feel an apology was needed... RL things happen... and I am appreciative to receive the title."

--------
A little birdie informed Regal this was your first time on the runway. With your first experience on the runway and choosing it to be in the April's Regal Runway Styling Challenge, what did you think of it?

"I was nervous about entering at all, since I haven't done anything like this before. However, once I got into it, I found it was a lot of fun. I like challenges, and I felt this challenged me to step outside my comfort zone, which is a good thing. The entire experience taught me a lot of things, and I met some really great people within the Regal family. All-in-all, I was both humbled and inspired by the entire experience. I also learned the difference between a runway style card, and a blog style card...lol. Always a good thing to know!"

--------
What was your first thought upon seeing the theme of Most Influential People Who've Impacted Humankind?

"I was excited about it...because we all have heroes, or people we admire. So, for me, choosing someone I felt was influential, and impacted humankind, was great. The hard part was narrowing it down to one.  I thought the theme was fun, and it gave us all a chance to honor someone that has been an influence in our world"

--------
What did you think of your fellow challengers you've compete against for the title of Reigning Champion?

"Well, I am married to one of them...lol. I thought Dandy's choice for the contest was so true to who he is...and RuPaul is a beautiful tribute to the fluidity of gender within all of us.  I loved Dakota's styling as well. She did a fabulous job of capturing Walt Disney, and was very creative in how she handled the styling. I enjoyed meeting her and all the people I worked with during the event, were exceptional...friendly, helpful, and outgoing."

--------
How do you feeling knowing your first time on the runway lead to winning the title of Reigning Champion?

"That is a good question. I never expected to win. I participated for the experience, the challenge, and the fun of the whole thing. I thought it would be a learning experience, but I never expected to win. So, honestly, I feel quite humbled by the win."

--------
With your first step taken on the runway, what are your future goals as a model?

"I'm not sure.  I am attending Regal modeling classes now, and enjoying it very much. In all the years I've been in SL...all the years I've designed clothing...I've admired runway and print models. Their ability to take an outfit or theme, and style something spectacular, just amazes me. I've never believed I had that kind of creativity or talent.  So, my future goals as a model is simply to learn what I can and attempt to be the best I can be at modeling.  I'm not sure I will actively pursue an SL modeling career, but I like knowing that it's a possibility down the road."

"David Bowie is back, as Kaid Hawker takes to the runway in Redgrave's Jacob Skin and Ikon's Arabian Deep Blue eyes,  Bowie was known for his fashion flare and pushing boundaries, and Kaid honors that by wearing Bakaboo's Baka Suit 2 Jacket, with it's mesh of glided colors and patterns. This shirt, tie, jacket, and vest combo is both edgy and saucy.

Complimenting the jacket is Riot's Syrio Leggings, in Nautical. These form-hugging pants add more than a little sass and sexiness to an outfit, and certainly scream, "Bowie! Bowie! Bowie!"

Rounding out the look are Mesh Platform Ankle Boots, in Teal, from Kaid's own store, Hawker's House. These platform boots capture Bowie's love of fashion, and flare for pushing boundaries.

Bowie is probably best known for his dramatic hair styles and colors, and none more iconic than his bright red spiked do. Kaid chose Dura's Emo Hair in Cherry to immolate Bowie's famous locks. Left longer on the bottom, and cut short and spikey on top, it's a perfect choice for our Bowie look.

 Of course, Bowie wouldn't be Bowie without a touch of makeup to round out the effect. Kaid is wearing Pink Acid's Photo Studio Blush in red, and Glamorize Revolver Pink Combo Lips. Of course, the blue eye shadow is an earmark of Bowie's 'Is There Life on Mars' look, and it's captured here with Glamorize Glitter and Glow Eye Makeup in Turquoise.

 Kaid completes his tribute to Bowie by carrying Dynamic's mic, and opting for Verocity Rock poses.

This ensemble is Kaid Hawker's version of David Bowie, capturing the star's vitality, sass, spunk, edginess, and flare for drama, both on-stage and off."

AND so the world was changed for the better thanks to David Bowie by Kaid Hawker.

Dandy Coveria-Hawker

RuPaul Andre Charles by Dandy Coveria-Hawker (Andrijiko Coveria)

"Welcome Dandy Coveria-Hawker to the runway, as he pays tribute to drag queen legend RuPaul. Dandy has captured RuPaul's iconic look by wearing Wow's Ahlam Skin, and MADesigns PROMISE eyes.

Of course, RuPaul wouldn't be RuPaul without his legendary makeup. Dandy has augmented his ensemble with Glamorize Cold Kiss Lips in Dacadent, A.S.S. Drama Shadow in Plum, and Oil Body.  He's also recreated RuPaul's iconic blonde look with TRUTH's Imani hair. This beautiful updo adds both style and elegance to any outfit.

No true drag queen look is complete without a little sparkle and shine, Dandy chose Swallow Chic earrings and Ring, Lyla's Deluxe Mesh Nails Valentine, as well as Leo's Gold Necklace with chains to add that little extra touch of pizzazz!

Of course, the gown makes the woman, and that is definitely the case when you're morphing from male to female, and what better choice than Hawker's House Dandy Diva Caped Gown, in Plum. With it's tailored lines, empress waistline augmented with black beading, and semi-sheer cape, it adds a touch of Cinderella to the look and feel of Dandy's RuPaul ensemble.

To round out his look, Dandy chose EC's Butterfly Crown Tarragon,  Epic Butterfly Buddies, and Chalis Butterfly Aura Summer Storm. Like butterflies transforming from caterpillar to a unique and breath-taking butterfly, RuPaul--and Dandy--morph from a simple man, into a stunningly beautiful woman."

Welcome Our April Runway Styling Challengers!

The official list of April's Regal Modeling Runway Styling Challengers has been selected and it's time to meet our most influential who've impacted humankind...

Disclaimer: The following quotes are written by the competing April models who've given permission to publish their descriptions. These descriptions provided will be judged as part of their total scores.

Dandy Coveria-Hawker (andrijiko coveria) as RuPaul Andre Charles

"Everyone needs someone to look up to...we all have idols that influence our lives, but few influence our very self-image in positive ways, RuPaul Andre Charles is one of those iconic few. RuPaul is an American drag queen, actor, model, singer, songwriter, author, and television personality. His reality competition series, RuPaul's Drag Race, received two Primetime Emmy Awards in 2016 and 2017. RuPaul is said to be the most commercially successful drag queen in America, and he was one of Time's list of 100 of the most influential people in the world. As a gay man, I've struggled with my self-image, and with understanding the delicate balance of my personal expression. In my mind, RuPaul embodies that fluidity, and validates the beauty and fluidity of the spirit inside each perfect human being. Each human, both male and female, have and express aspects of both genders, in different ways. It is only in recent years that American society is coming to embrace the beauty of both...in every person. RuPaul has most certainly influenced that growth and openness, and validated those of us who've struggled with not fitting into the boxed image that has dominated our world."

Kaid Hawker-Coveria (kaid hawker) as David Bowie

"Is there Life on Mars? If anyone has the answer to that question, it's David Bowie...or perhaps Kaid Hawker, as he pays tribute to the iconic rocker. When we think of influential people, there are many legends, but none more dramatic and memorable than David Bowie.  An English singer, songwriter, and actor, Bowie was incredibly influential in popular music for over five decades. He's been acclaimed by peers for his innovative work, and his career was earmarked by reinvention and visual presentation. He is one of the world's best-selling music artists, and in the UK, was awarded 9 platinum album certifications, 11 gold, and eight silver. He released 11 number-one albums. In the U.S,, Bowie received 5 platinum and 9 gold certificates, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. For more than half a century, Bowie impacted the world as a musician, actor, artist, and icon. He influenced music, art, and fashion. He was--and in many minds still is--a unique and indelible part of contemporary culture."

Dakota Lavarock as Walt Disney

"Influential people.  Much could be said on this subject.  There are bad influences, and there are good influences.  Dakota prefers to shine her spotlight on the good. Some of the most influential people the world has ever known are artists.  They are opinion leaders and trend setters.  Where the artist goes, others follow.  Some artists have short careers, other have much longer careers, and one such artist is Mister Walt Disney. Walt Disney was born on December 5, 1901 and left his life behind on December 15, 1966, after 65 years of contributions to mankind.  His name is a household word in countries around the world, and his classic movies and characters are known by sight by young and old alike. There are very few who have not seen at least one of Walt Disney’s movies, and he produced many movies, from one of his first movies, the animated Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937, to following animated classics such as Bambi in 1942, Lady and the Tramp in 1955, and 101 Dalmations in 1961.  In addition, Mister Disney produced many non-animated classics, as well, such as The Absent-Minded Professor in 1961 and Mary Poppins in 1964. In fact, so fantastic are his movies that Mister Disney holds the record for most Academy Awards earned by an individual, with 22 Oscars and 59 nominations. He has two Golden Globe awards, an Emmy Award, and several other honors.  Several of his films have been chosen by the Library of Congress to be included in the National Film Registry.  All this is an amazing and fantastic lifetime achievement.When people think of Walt Disney, they think immediately of cartoons and movies.  However, Mister Disney’s sphere of influence goes far beyond being a cartoonist and movie producer.  He helped revolutionize the film industry when he agreed to use Technicolor’s newest process for making color films, and he developed a process to use for making animated motion pictures.  He also introduced synchronized sound for movies.  His contributions forever changed the movie industry. Mister Disney also ventured into the world of television programs, including Walt Disney’s Disneyland and The Mickey Mouse Club, touching the lives of many. Of course, who does not know of Disneyland and Disney World? People the world over plan their vacations to go to these wonderful amusement parks.  Disneyland has the highest attendance of any amusement park in the world.  If you show a picture of Sleeping Beauty Castle, the icon of Disneyland, to anyone of almost any age from almost any country in the world, they immediately recognize it as the castle at the Disneyland Park.  Mister Disney designed the park and supervised its construction, himself, an impressive feat. Mister Disney was also called on to help with the planning of several popular world cultural events. He helped plan the 1959 Moscow Fair, the 1960 Winter Olympics, and the 1964 New York World’s Fair. Mister Disney affected the lives of millions of people the world over, with his contributions to animation and film-making, his television shows, his amusement parks, and his lesser-known influences, as well.  He made an impact on cultural history that will forever stay with mankind, making him one of the world’s most influential people in history."
