R.E.S.P.E.C.T

I recommend this blog post "New York Fashion Week . . . in Second Life", by Johanna Blakley in her blog, about how the rl fashion industry should come to SL. She makes some interesting points.

And speaking of designers, while I was checking out stores that had taken part on Wear Gray (see sidebar), I found myself at !SSUS! (SLurl). They had a box next to the front door with the option to get some materials for a designer rights campaign called Step Up! The campaign website is a good source of information as well.

My blog showcases a lot of stores that offer freebies and cheap items for newbies and other players working with a low budget. But these stores are featured also for their quality items and to support their business.

I want to remind my readers to respect the designers. Do not buy stolen goods or take unwarranted copies. When you have a better income in the future, please remember the stores that were kind enough to assist with lucky games and freebies when you had less to spend. I know a lot of people go to the stores to buy things and are not just reading for the freebies, but still I think it's a good thing to remind us all of. The designers put a lot of effort to their work and we should treat them well.

Back to recommending stores. Besides a large selection of nice items, !SSUS! has a MM-board and lucky games for us. Good luck!

Applause for the good cause

I was at a meeting of Nonprofit organisations in SL. As I arrived, Laura was talking of the rescue center she works for, Horsenet. They have been to SL since July this year and have some of their horses from the center as virtual horses in their SL location. They have a lot of disabled, for example blind, horses. The horses get to live a peaceful horses life now, no work assignments, good care, company of other horses in the field. Nice change for many previously poorly treated animals.


They need donations and volunteers, both inworld and in real life, and you can sponsor a horse for just 12 dollars a month.


Please contact them for more information.
Laura's Twitter account is @Laura_J24 and The HorseNet Horse rescue has a website.


Another interesting organization, Prem-U, has a project that aims to improve the standards of education in Mali.

These were just two examples of many. The nonprofit organizations do a lot of good work in SL and in the world. Many of them are interested in communicating and working with other organizations and interested parties. Please take a look at their contact information and see if you'll find a way you can donate, support, volunteer or promote any of the good causes.
