‘Fashion for Life’ is the longest running and most successful fashion fair in Second Life ™ and marks the annual start of the official  ‘Relay for Life’ events that take place inworld each year.

All donations are given directly to the ‘Relay for Life’ general fund which benefits the ‘American Cancer Society’ and its thousands of beneficiaries who rely on the charity for support and advice.

Fashion for Life is a hundred percent not for profit, and all organisation, building work and coordination are driven by the work of its volunteers which helps to maximise donated money.

So what’s New for 2012?

This year, Fashion for Life spans an incredible TEN lag free sims with over 200 stores selling the latest fashions, accessories, hair and unique designer items made especially for this event. There will also be gacha areas, a hunt, a raffle and a SALE- all with the end goal of raising funds for the American Cancer Society via SL.

The sims will be laid out in a cross formation and will represent the theme “Its Time…” with builds representing stages in time:  past, present, future and timeless. All building and landscaping have been created by some of SL’s top designers and builders to produce a beautiful environment for your charity shopping sprees!

Alongside the fabulous fashion, there will be a sim dedicated to providing a minimum of 12 hours entertainment and activities every day, so you can socialise, have fun and meet new people too.

Our sims have been kindly sponsored by ‘Dream Seeker Estate Corporation’ which has drastically reduced admin expenses, helping to free up even more money for Relay for Life.

Harper Beresford, Fashion for Life Lead executive says:
“Fashion for Life is not just about fashion and it’s not just about fund raising-it’s about supporting the members of our community in SL who have been touched by cancer.”

Cancer touches everyone. We sincerely hope you join us in this kick-off event for Relay for Life in SL, helping raise money for the American Cancer Society.

Ezura at the Festival of Sin

These days we have the wonderful Festival of Sin (LM to the Festival of Sin: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Diablo/138/119/72) going on in Second Life. One of Ezura’s contributions is the “The Sins Wrath”. The Festival of Sin happens the first time  in SL and it is a lovely made place where a lot of SL’s top designers showcase special designs, some of their latest releases and old-time favourites. The place itself is worth a visit.

Ezura came up with a wonderful red gown that is the perfect picture of wrath, one of the 7 deadlies. A wonderful red and seductive gown with a mixture of lace and opaque textures in red. The basic of the gown is made in the new mesh technique, the prims on the sides and at the neck are normal non mesh prims and easy to adjust. The amazing red horns are as well part of the wonderful gown. For the hair I chose a combination of Urban Lutz and Baiastice. Urban Lutz started to create a new hair-line that follows the zodiac signs. For today iI chose the wonderful “Capricorn” style combined with one of my all time favourites from Baiastice.

Mesh News at Baboom!!!

And again she did it! Kyra Camel, owner and designer of Baboom surprised me with an awesome new gown with great mesh parts! In the pack you have included 2 sizes of the mesh corset so you can choose with one fits you better. The “Glamour” gown is a wonderful elegant and sexy gown for any formal event. The wonderful mesh corsage without any shoulder lines gives a great base for awesome jewelry. For the “Glamour” gown Kyra included a cute and filigree mini set of earrings and necklace. The amazing gloves are decorated with awesome ruffles at the upper end and are made of 3 prims for each glove. The skirt is open on the front but covers what it has to 😉 There is a pair of wonderful, elegant shoes as well that come with the gown, but you know me I always need something edgy to elegant gowns so I chose one of my all time favourites from Mea Culpa, the “Raptor” shoes :p.What caught my attention was the huge headpiece with the amazing filigree veil. The “Glamour” gown is available in more stunning colors, so get the next limo to the Baboom Mainstore and look for yourself. I am sure there is a color for you as well 🙂

MVW 2012: National Gown for Miss Greece 2012 by ALB Dream Fashion & Alienbear

Today I have the great pleasure to show you the wonderful national costume of Miss Greece 2012. The amazing “Medusa” outfit was made by AnaLee Balut, skilled and experienced owner of ALB Dream Fashion. AnaLee Balut is a well known designer for contest gowns as she made MVW 2009 winner´s evening gown,  MVW 2010 winner´s costume and she was one of the finalists in the “One in a million” designers contest. With the “Medusa” outfit she captured many little details of the Greece mythologies. What caught my attention the most are the wonderful 3D looking snakes that go through the whole dress. The all look so real but not one snake looks like the other. The huge headpiece as well is part of the outfit and for the clothing layers AnaLee Balut shows her skills when it comes to designing. She combined different fabrics in different colors in an awesome way to one piece. The headpiece as well combines a lot of amazing little details. The golden part with the huge red gem, the long tail parts that again catch the snake theme and the hair itself. A stunning creation for Miss Calypso Oliphaunt, the Miss Greece for Miss Virtual World 2012. The beautiful shoes are as well part of the outfit. Very filigree done, again we can see how much love for the detail AnaLee Balut puts in her designs. The shoes come with a HUD so you can match the perfectly to your skin tone. The “Medusa” gown you now can purchase at the ALB Dream Fashion Mainstore.

The jewelry for this incredible creation was made by Alienbear. Alienbear made the perfect addition in gold and red for this wonderful dress. The thin golden lines in amazing shaped and ornaments holding tiny little red gems and white diamonds… really the work of a professional and Alienbear again shows why she is one of the top jewelry designers in SL with this wonderful and gorgeous “Esmeralda” set. The set contains the earrings and a two-part necklace. I am sure you will find the stunning “Esmeralda” set at the Alienbear Mainstore together with all the other breathtaking creations of Alienbear Gupte.

I am wearing Pink!!!

Everyone knows that I always say I would have a pink allergy and if I wear pink , I get pimples, my blood pressure raises damn high and I have breathing problems. But for a very few designers I can make an exception. And for sure  got some antiallergypills on my bathroom for even these 😉 For sure Honey Bender, owner and designer of Faster Pussycat, is one of them. If she comes up with such a cool and sweet outfit like the “Chopsy” showgirl outfit, I simply cannot resist. Make your way to the Faster Pussycat Mainstore and see all the great news she released lately… It is so worth it!!!
