Relay For Life, on SL

Prim Perfect posted about a charity fund raising event I thought sounds interesting, here is what they said: 

"The RFLSL, now a staple of the Second Life calendar is the Second Life incarnation of the American Cancer Society’s signature fundraising event, Relay For Life (RFL).

This year, operating under the theme ‘Seasons of Hope’ the activities will start with the kick-off ceremony on the 12th March, alongside the launch event “Fashion for Life”. 

Further information on RFL of SL can be found at the American Cancer Society website for RFLSL. There is also a Second Life wiki page with more history that some readers may find interesting".

Win some, get some for free

Just a quick post for those looking for free items.

Gillian's blog post has some links to freebies, mm's and lucky boards. And she promised to add more. You can wear your free or less than 10l outfits to the RFL Found fashion contest held at the opening party of Red river ballroom, March 13th.

Starlight's mainstore (SLurl) has lucky chairs and now she has added a MM board upstairs, by the group gifts.

I already blogged some of these in outfit posts, but here's the scoop where to find them. Free gifts from different labels at KMADD (SLurl)

CWS Fashion district (SLurl) has a new store location and some new free gifts.

Suzu's stuff and nonsense (SLurl) has a lot of freebies upstairs, mostly clothes. But what I find most interesting in the store are the kitchen and bathroom utilities. They are reasonably priced, low prim and yet have working doors, animations etc.

Tinies have their lucky chairs and freebies too, of course. Go visit Otterwise (SLurl). While tiny LR is looking at costumes, tiny Alana wants to try the piano!

Plenty more to see at Raglan shire. Tiny Alana just won a vampire hunter belt from Funny Bunny! (SLurl) Look out vampires!

Piece of candy (SLurl) still has the Blue diamond hunt going on, one linden for each diamond with a skin inside. If you are working on a low budget and want a quality skin, go take a look. And notice the free gown in the box.

Not for oil

SL residents demonstrated for peace in Libya and ending the violence, in front of the United nations building (SLurl) inworld, as Nadia Lane posted on CNN iReport.

I went to take a look at the place and saw that you can actually get inside the building and take a lift up. So I found this second floor balcony and decided to take a picture. Imagine that view being the world. I really want to tell the people of this planet that life is too fragile as it is. We should avoid violence and seek ways to make things better by peaceful means. And no country can be excused of shooting at it's citizens during peaceful demonstrations. Not for oil, not for anything.

There are still people around there, if you want to talk about the issues.

Desolate look

Here is a nice sim project I wanted to share with you. I found it while reading this post in SLupergirls. Met one of the sim owners when I went there to look around. I'm not really much of a reporter but got some of the scoop while talking to her. :)

The Wastelands - The North Yard (SLurl) has a group of friends designing and maintaining a sim that has a dark, desolate look to it. It offers it's visitors a challenge. Look around, see if you can find some gifts and interesting items to buy? Rugged to the point of being a perfect set for a horror movie, the sim just begs to be explored. The soundscape is an excellent mix of ambient noises and what ever is going on at the neighbor sims movie screen.

The North Yard Shop (SLurl) is pretty close to the landing area. Products on sale are hidden a bit, to work with the look of the sim, so keep an eye out for things like a sculpted Fire pile, the I-beams, and 1-prim Junk walls. The shop also has a jewellery gatcha machine. The owner, Vikki Placebo, is going to have more items on sale when she is done with the designing. She has a store at the Marketplace, if that's what you prefer.

I found a freebie box at a close by stranded house. I recommend you donate a bit to the project, there's a collection plate at the church ruin a short walk away.

The neighboring sim has the Burnt Oak drive-in (SLurl). The friendly owner also put a screen towards the Wasteland sim, so they could have a secondary viewing spot if movie night got too busy. The bootleg feel of the alternative watching spot fits the project perfectly.

Secret no more

The Secret Store (SLurl) (Website) (Photoalbum) (Plurk) is just such a refreshing and lovely store. It's simple design highlights the items and lets their cute textures make an inpact. The freebie table has awesome quality items.

I never got the handbag fever, I don't care if a bag has a high end brand tag on it. It does not make it pretty to me. But this store has the most droolable bags, I can admit, I am addicted to them.

Wow the use of color is just gorgeous. And the boots are quite addictive, add that to my list of succumbing to feminine obsessions. ;)

Oh my poor brain. Donuts - dresses, donuts - dresses. Yum yum. Need to sit down for a bit.

Ok I mentioned purses already but one more picture won't hurt, right? And see the sweaters, so cute! And reasonably priced too.

Thank you
