Touching Talons for Lexi

Cancer is a lousy, rotten disease which can cut people down at any time of their lives. It claimed the lives of both my father and grandfather when they were in their early fifties and in May of this year it claimed the life of a Second Life creator, Scarlet Chandrayaan. Now it is threatening the life of another young SL creative, Lexi Zelin, who at 28 years old and with a six-year-old daughter, deserves a better deal in life.

In order to help Heather (Lexi Zelin in Real Life), the Second Life community has banded together to do a shopping event to help and her family deal with the mounting medical bills that her treatment entails. This event is The Lexi Project, which is running from July 26th through until August 9th. One hundred per cent of the proceeds from the event will be donated to Lexi to help her financially. So it’s a damned good cause.

Anyway, after visiting the event I put out a call to a few friends inworld to see if they could do a quick picture featuring some of what was on sale and the lovely Mia responded. So while she got herself ready for work, I put us on pose stands and played about with props and Windlight in order to get a shot. And this picture is the result.

So, this is what us lovelies are wearing.

ALLES – on the left – has the following fashion style:

On the Beach at Na Pali

I have already waxed lyrical on my Flickr post about the new bikini from Erratic which is available at the new round of Uber … so perhaps I shouldn’t rave anymore except to say that it’s totally gorgeous and that the fatpack version is most definitely worth the 999 linden investment for the eight colours that become available. 😀

Anyway, this is what us lovelies are wearing.

Yoga for Sad Dolls

The Epiphany event kicked off in Second Life just a few days ago with the promise that it is “a gacha event with a twist, and … lots of fun!” Well, we shall see about that I guess – so far I have netted a few mesh heads and some nice hair but am having problems getting my head (no pun intended) around the redeeming of unwanted items and how The Epiphany points system works. From what I can make out it will cost you a lot of redemptions to get one of the exclusive items from the event … and these “redemptions” will cost you many lindens in the first place.

Anyway, without further ado, this is what Alles – the sad doll – is wearing:

Pink Acid Good Gone Evil Medusa Halo – Dragon Snake headband … made by pinkacidstore Resident. Purchased at the current round of The Secret Affair, which is open from July 15th until August 14th. NEW.
