When is a Yard Sale More Than a Yard Sale?

Yard Sales can be good or terrible or someplace in between, but when the Yard Sale benefits SL's Relay for Life then it's ALL good!

One such sale is going on this week at Fort Augusta, benefiting The Roma Pro Vita team. Most items for sale are one of a kind, so be sure to pick up your object once bought. What I bought, the Bare Rose Dirty Check outfit, is no longer there, for example, but many other items are. And many items are Roman themed as you might expect!

I think this is an older BareRose item as there are no glitch pants and the neck part of the scarf is system, not sculpty. It's a beat-up tartan look with nice scruffy textures. I'm wearing it with Boon SHY 48 hair in red, my trusty ETD Calf Boots, not back out yet alas :( Skin is Cupcakes Seduction Fresh in Cameo.

So seek out those RFL Yard Sales and you too can find some amazing items, while supporting a worthy cause.

More Relay for Life Generosity:)

As you will learn, if you don't know already, my relay team is The Passionate Redheads. We won Team Hero Award last year, but more importantly raised over $10,000 USD to help fund a cure for cancer. And THIS year we are back, with many new members, all of them enthusiastic and generous. I'll be blogging the fashion contributions they have made to support our team's fund raising efforts. If you can't wait to see them here you can always check our Relay Blog!

First up are two wonderful jewelry sets. The first is Hibiscus Flossberg's RFL Complete Passionate Pink Gypsy Set. Whew, that's a mouthful ;) It is available at her store Purangi Designs.




This set isn't new, but what IS new is that she has packed absolutely EVERYTHING in one nicely priced box. Not only do you get the necklace, earrings and bracelet I am wearing. You also get another bracelet, belts, anklets and belly rings, several with two attachment points. I have had the Gypsy set in green for a while, but couldn't resist the packed box of pink goodness, all for Relay for Life.




Next is Mouse Mimistrobell's Pink Tourmaline Spheres in Silver, a RFL for life exclusive in her Spheres series. I got the Peridot/Copper set when it first came out and when I suggested PINK for the RFL version, Mousie said sure :) I've blogged this set before, but it still bears repeating that the square earrings and clasp make the set just that much more fashionable and smart. And in Pink Tourmaline, it rocks! This relay exclusive is available from her RFL Kiosk at her Dark Mouse store.

For both jewelry sets I am wearing Michami's Glitter tube and leggings in Purple and Black, Zhao's Precious color-change shoes, my custom Soda skin in sand and ETD's Tyra hairstyle in Auburn Burnt.

Thanks so much to Hibi and Mouse for such beautiful donations to the RFL cause. [And YES I bought mine too!]

All poses are from Dove Swanson's generous Female Bloggers Pose Set.

Belle of the Relay Ball!

Thanks to Samsara Nishi's generosity, this beautiful dress will be available at the 2009 Relay for Life Clothing Fair to benefit cancer research. The fair doesn't open until March 16, but Sam offered me a sneak peek as this is the dress that she is giving to our relay team, the Passionate Redheads, for fundraising. Thank you SO much Sam:)




Now to the details. It is called Escaping from Pirates and if you note the textures on the bodice are reminiscent of the seams on a ship and the obligatory pirate's map. The grays contrast beautifully with the Teal [a perfect redhead color!] If the bodice were not enough, take a look at the skirt! It's light, floaty and shimmery and in Teal very deep-sea looking with the wavey pattern on the net and the water texture on the satin. But then there is the velvet pillbox hat, with its totally teasing veil and the gold flower decorations on the sides. There will be other colors available to benefit Relay for Life, but, for my money, THIS is the color to have!

Other details: ETD Camille hair in Auburnt Burnt, Tuli Meredith skin in Captivating Copper/Light and The Feuille Naturelle in silver & forest green.

Thank you so much Samsara!

A Medieval Gala Ball for Relay for Life

Tonight at 6pm SLT The Passionate Redheads [my relay team] are holding a gala ball in a medieval castle, that will be auctioned off during the ball! Silent auctions, dancing and much merriment will complete the evenings festivities.

Here's the location: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Southern%20Colorado/62/114/26 -- get out your medieval duds and join us!


This is what I am wearing to the ball. Miriel Enfield's Lene dress in amethyst with ETD's Hermia in cinnamon burnt. My jewelry is the Princess Nieve set in purple from Alienbear worn with her Diamond stars & pearl forehead tiara. My skin is Fleur Blossom 2 in buff. Shoes are also ETD's Orsay in eggplant.

My apologies for the hiatus in blogging. As some of you know, my dear SL friend Artistic Fimicoloud died on May 26. Since then I've been mourning, arranging and attending memorial events and taking over the management of Park Galleries, which she owned.
