Summer Brights

Relay for Life Clothing Fair has had a great year, and is already beginning plans for 2009. So, here is a great outfit to go shopping in. We start with a fabulous mellow yellow Denim Cotton Jumpsuit,from Armidi Limited. . It has six pockets for all those little odds and ends you might need, and a zippered front for easy access and exit. The topstitching detail is wonderful and adds a touch of fun to the look. Then, I buckled on this lovely detailed Armidi Gisacij Au Di Leather Belt. It comes in three sizes, as we ladies are not all built the same.

I then added the Zimbawe Necklace to dress it up a bit and slipped on the brightly colored Neon Stacked Bangles in assorted colors. I need a little protection from the bright sun, so I slip on a stylish pair of Armidi Gisacij Fi Umo Sunglasses. And of course we cannot leave the house without our lovely monogrammed Tangerine leather bag, with convenient side pockets.

And to carry us on this shopping expedition, one of the coolest pair of shoes I have seen,Skyliners, from Shiny Things..An actaul skyline sits atop these funky fun shoes.Okayyyyy, lets shop....

OMG! What is that Noise????

Well, if you can believe it... that noise you hear is the wheels turning and the planning begining for the 2009 RFL Clothing Fair. We have been spending some time talking over the past week or so about how to reach out to the most designers in SL this year and Find the best of the best for the 2009 Fair. Last Year, We included 84 designers over 4 sims and this year we would like to up that number as much as possible.

So, Thanks to the wonderful sponsorship from Subscribe-o-matic we have come up with a plan and its now in place. Yes its a bit early to be thinking of 2009; however, you can join the group now and not worry about missing any news when the time comes.

Right now there are two kiosk up on the grid. One is located at the Haute Couture Sim in front of the RFL Store. The other is located in Innisfree at the Main location of SF Designs. If you or any desigers would like to be a part of this feed please join at any time. If you would like to have a kiosk at your store please contact me inworld .. Nevar Lobo.

Yes, Its early , but we have plans starting to make this next clothing fair something for the eyes to see.

Spread the word and don't forget we still have 25 days till Relay '08 is over !!!!

Go Relay , Untill there is a cure!!!

A Little Mystique

Every one loves a little mystique, and the irrepressible team of Moxie Polano and Forda Fairlane, have delivered up another beautiful confection called Le Mystique.

It is a lovely teal color, and has prim flowers which climb sensuosley across the beautifully textured bodice to your shoulder. A sash gently rides your hips and ends in a soft bow on your right hip. The back is a deep *V* which lends to the mystique...The sheer skirt flows beautifully, as all eyes follow you across the room. The outfit comes with a lovely pair of matching shoes, stockings, a shape and of course, the *piece de resistance*, the mask, which gives the outfit its air of mystery. You will be the belle of any ball in this marvellous outfit, with or without the mask...........

Till next time.....

"THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT FOR VictoriaV"

I had the honor to be included on the "exclusive" VIP list for the Preview of VictoriaV's new mainstore. The event took place on Friday, June 6th, with the public Grand Opening set for Saturday, June 7th.

I, along with the other guests, (Moxie Polano, Maxie McBride, Bax Coen, Wyntir Jewell, Melanie Zhao, just to name a few) were greeted by the McMillans' in grand fashion. Vasgez McMillan gave a wonderful speech with VictoriaV proudly at his side. Then commenced the opening with the corking of champagne(Italy's finest, I'm sure) which we were all treated to a glass. The party then moved to the dance floor where we danced the night away to the stylings of DJ SerinaJane Loon, before working up an appetite to shop.

Let me tell you, this mainstore is a shoppers dream come true and the layout is amazing.

Now it's time to walk you through what you will see. You teleport in to appear on the lush red carpet(and who doesn't love being on the red carpet?).
The first thing you see is an awning made of Italian Marble that incases the sliding glass door to the "VictoriaV" promise land. But before i take you in, I want to draw your attention to the outside surroundings. The landscape to the store is minimalistic, which to me is nothing short of simple elegance. Here you will find green pine's, flower beds, waterfalls and the peace and traquility of the surrounding water. It's nothing short of something that you would find in Venice, Italy. The only thing missing is the man on the gondola singing in Italian.


Now let's pass the threshold. You walk past the doors to this magnificent foyer, complete with set of winding stairs that lead to the upper level. Look to your left and you'll see VictoriaV's beautiful wedding gowns, to the right you'll see her formal wear, and just past the stairs is her beloved VIP collection. The only problem you will have with this store is in deciding where to go first! As you walk through you are treated to a maze of designs, each one out doing the next. (Trust me, I'm finicky and I am nothing but impressed by the McMillan's.)

Walk up the stairs, past the incredible sculpture of a woman in the center(I heard Moxie Polano had something to do with this) to find VictoriaV's Lingerie collection. Also upstairs you will find outlet stores to Bax Coen, Alienbear Designs, Zhao, Calla, Style of Edo, and Ayki Skins.

I have to say, the McMillan's have put together an impressive collection. Without a doubt this is a must see.

I'm going to let you decide for yourself, have a look around!

Till next time,

AMAZING!!!!

Once again, the Fashion community just totally threw me back on my heels. I remember back when I was comming close to wrapping up the Clothing Fair in March, I was asked how I was feeling about the over all event. The only response that I could give was that I was totally speachless and at the time barely holding it together. As alot of people know, you can't usally find me lost for words. But, yet again, I am. Yesterday's Jailhouse Rock for Relay showed me just how deep the community of Second Life will reach if there is a cause to be reaching for. What made it so great was just how excited people got who were participating in the event. The 5 teams that participated in the event yesterday were just totally amazed when I announced the final figures for the fundraising effort. 2,227,185L$ ... who knew that the pockets were so deep. 8500USD in about 16 hours... WOW. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you all who participated, donated, hung around , fought the assest server problems, sat in jails, and just were there in support. Truely Amazing .....

Jailhouse Rocks for Relay

We'll have folks trapped in Jail until enough Bail is gathered to free them, DJ's rolling from 6 am until 9 pm SLT on June 1st and lots of other fun goings on!

This is a multi-team fund raising effort on behalf of the American Cancer Society and the Second Life Relay For Life, being held in the Haute Couture sim! DJ's from 3 stations will be covering the event, providing non-stop fun and entertainment throughout the sim!

AN IMPORTANT THOUGHT

Today's blog is a bit different in that it's not about fashion, or the fashion world as we know it. It's about the friendships that are formed, the respect that you give to each person.

I have been blessed with the friendships that i have formed, and although my days in sl are spent busy working on the agency, not a day goes by that i don't think of these friendships that i have made.

I've learned in the last week that I don't want a moment to go by that my friends don't know how much they mean to me, I don't ever want a day to come that they question how I feel about our relationships. I've seen this happen far too much lately in Second Life that people are overlooked, pushed aside, or ignored because of the way they look or a comment said.

All that I ask is that we all remember that although we are pixels on a screen, there is a real person behind what you see. Kindness, Respect, and Friendships are appreciated by all. And for the friendships that you have now, don't let it come to a point that people question how you feel.

Moxie and Forda, I love you both and we grieve together.

Wo, you will be missed, you were honorable, opinionated, strong, and most of all talented. It was a pleasure working beside you in Tailor Made, and more of a pleasure to call you "friend". You are with us always. We love you. Your at peace now, rest well Angel.

To all my friends, you know who you are, you're in my heart always.

Always,
Emee Flanagan, Timeless Modeling Agency CEO

Haute Style & Co. is having a huge sale!

Alright everyone, it's time for another blog from me. A good sale is always hard to find, but when they come along and are worth seeing, then they come along with a BANG. Moxie Polano & Forda Fairlane are having a 50 linden and 100 linden sale. And here is the kicker, some of their awesome new releases are put out in the sale, so trust me, you are not getting last years item at a reasonable price, you are getting this years collection. This sale lasts a week and is sure to be a success, don't miss out! Sale ends Wednesday, May 22 at 12 noon slt.
Now if you'll excuse me, i have some shopping to do;)
Till next time, much love,

Missing RFL vendors

I have heard alot about this subject and im so sorry that i have not been able to answer comments or blog untill now.

OK here is the deal....

The Vendors are out !!! it seems that there have been some issues when the sims have crashed or restarted with all the work that is being done on the grid .. vendors , boxes , missing prims were apearing ... I have checked into this and i have talked to the designers about vendors..

This might be a constant problem while SL is upgrading the code .. we dont know but we are keeping a close watch on it ... If you have a question about what a designer is doing for RFL my suggestion is to ask them.. .Everyone here is in full support of RFL and that is why they are all apart of this fair ... Every Designer is going to be FIGHTING FOR A CURE!!! ... so if you want to know what your favorite designer is doing for RFL .. dont be shy... ask them....

Thank you everyone for your compliments on the sim .. the Relay Raiders have worked long and hard for over 5 months planning this ... to make this the best event to hit SL in a long time !!!

Remember !!! dig deep because we are here for one reason and that is to find a cure for Cancer!!!

hit the kiosk with that little extra you have, buy the limited editions, and just have fun!!

Go Relay !!! Until theres a cure !!!

WE DID IT !!!!! SHOPPING FOR A CURE!!!!

OMG!!!!! THATS ALL I CAN SAY!!! at the time of this picture there was over 200 on the sim and i can tell you that its crazy .. people are shopping, raising money and having fun.

yes yes there is lag .. yes yes we talked about it .. we know there is lag ... i am surprised that we didnt crash 4 sims at 10am this morning with all the people tping in at one time... it was amazing.

Tayzia , imed me at 10:05 and told me she was in tears from the joy to see the support that everyone is giving to RFL .. and that is exactly what is happening the support is overwhelming and I am blown away. we are hour and a half into the week and you all can not imagine .... some recordbreaking fundraisng is about to happen this week.

im not going to blog about the clothes here .. yes there is clothing and alot of it... the designers are hot and have not been sleeping to get things done before today .

So lets get to the fair .. be patient , mindful that its laggy ... but rememeber there are 4 sims so spread out over them... its going to be great!!!!! shop shop shop!!!!

Until theres a cure !!!!! Relay for Life !!!!!

Happy St Patricks day !!!!

Well, we made it !!!! two little touch ups in the am and the sims are totally ready to go ... The fun in about to start!!!

Here we go .. time for bed and yes !!!! 10 hours and 40 minutes till the SHOPPING BEGINS!!!!

LETS GO RELAY !!!!

The Night Before we open ...................

OMG its the night before we open and we have been working so hard to finish. The designers are running around frantic, Pips and I have been here and there all day .. Pips is having trouble getting her stuff done becasue she has had to fight off a greenie attack in the middle of the day . I found her totally exhausted from her fight and im not sure she succeded. It kinda scares me as i walk the sims im not sure if the greenies are taking over or not. SO, as you shop... BEWARE OF THE GREENIES!!

We finally got Pips back up and working hard and the troops arrived to assist in getting the different teams in with the RFL Vendors to set up. Oh you have to know that when you are planning something like this anything can happen and Happen it did!!!! David Jacobs , Event CO-Chair for RFL of SL , was at the sims helping out today and the wager was made..

It seems he has accepted the wager: if the Raiders (our team sponsoring the fair ) raises 2 million linden in one week (yes just 7 days ) ... well he will wear a dress for 1 week!!!!!

I am sure he is regretting that now that he sees what we have done to get ready for this huge event . If everthing goes well by this time tomorrow night we will have our first Million! GO RELAY!!!!

So, now for the final wrap up and yes, omg, Pips and I are going to get to sleep tonight!!! WOOT!!

We are so excited and can not wait till tomorrow... So get your shopping shoes on ... get those lindens ready .. buy every item in the RFL vendors there are tomorrow and lets Raise that 2 million in the first day!!!! ITS TIME EVERYONE ... YES THE CLOTHING FAIR IS ABOUT TO OPEN!!!!! LETS GET YOUR SHOPPING ON !!!

15 HOURS AND 5 MINUTES TO GO .... but who is counting !!!!

Untill theres a cure !!! LETS RELAY FOR LIFE!!!!

WOOT!!! IT'S RELAY TIME!!!!

ARE YOU READY TO RELAY !!!! Today kicks off the 2008 campaign for Relay for Life and gosh we are so excited.... its means we are in the final countdown to opening the doors for the clothing fair .... dont have alot of time to blog today but i just have one great picture to show everyone ...

The Greenies have found the fair and are invading ... no matter what we have done to keep them out ... its not happening ..... so beware of greenies as you shop this week you never know where they might show up around the sims....

ok 45 hours and 50 minutes ..... and this fair opens!!!

UNTIL THERES A CURE!!! RELAY FOR LIFE !!!!

WOW!!! ITS FRIDAY ALREADY!!!

Where has all the time gone to. Lets see ... well we started this in September '07 and have been working on the planning hot and heavy since November 1st. Now, here it is March 14th and we are three days away from opening the biggest Fashion event of the year here in SL . I keep walking around the sims talking to designers, press people , volunteers and helpers and Everyone is getting so exited to open the sims monday morning. Everyday it seems i get someone else coming to me wondering how they can help. Designers messaging me asking me if there is still room. Some telling me if you have anyone back out just let me know i can be ready in 10 minutes. Its kinda funny ... I never even dreamed this would be so big when we started to plan but WOW... look at it.

This week alone we have had people come to the rescue at different times and I really dont know how to thank everyone for pitching in . I put out a call for some graphic help a few days ago and in a matter of minutes my ims were crazy with people volunteering to make signs what ever needed to be done. Thank you Chiman, Forda and Bastchild. You three saved some long nights. And thank you to everyone who responded to our call for help.

Now, Tomorrow is the big kick off for Relay for LIfe and collections start for this year. I will have my vendors and kiosk tomorrow finally and im sure the designers will be so happy to be able to finish setting up . I do want to say ... if you know anyone who wants to be a part of this event and would like to set up an RFL vendor at the fair have them im me. It doesnt matter what team you are from , it doesnt matter what team name is on the vendor... what matters is that we raise money. Let me say that again ... what matters is WE RAISE MONEY FOR RFL. We are all in this fight together. we all want to have the same outcome. A CURE FOR CANCER!!

So if you want to join the fight contact me in world and lets join hands and FIGHT BACK!

The countdown has now started 71 hours and 42 minutes till the RFL Clothing Fair '08 opens its doors... Lets get ready to shop everyone !!!!

Until there's a cure!!!! We Relay for Life!!!!!

Fashion, Fashion, and YES!! more Fashion

I have been sitting here thinking about what to tell you today regarding the fair . Suddenly, I realized that I have shared with anyone about the Fashion shows. You can not have an event like this with out showing off some of the special designs that are here at the fair. SO, we have not one , not even two, and three would'nt cut it... so we planned 4 Fashion shows for the week of the clothing fair ... Here is a little bit about them :

The stage was design and created by Pips Fetid. When we were trying to come up with an idea how to use all 4 sims she said to me , " you have to have runways in all of them so everyone can see." She did just that ...

Close your eyes and imagine… 4 sims packed with the finest designers SL has to offer, entertainment 24/7, treasure hunts, and more.

You’re not dreaming. The Clothing Fair 2008 is here! We are just days away from SL’s premiere shopping event of the season. Featuring 84 shining stars… ahem, designers all coming together to kick off the 2008 Relay For Life of Second Life’s fundraising season for the Relay Raiders.

Relay for Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature event started back in 1985 by a Colorectal Surgeon from Tacoma, WA; and has now become an international movement, with over 600 communities spanning 18 countries outside of the United States. Relay For Life is designed to “CELEBRATE” survivorship and raises money for life-saving research and programs, “REMEMBER” those who have lost their battle, and unite community members committed to “FIGHT BACK” against cancer.

It’s hard to imagine that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. 1 in 8! We can make a difference!

Go Relay!!!

so we dont have much time to blog about anything today except there is alot of business going on in the sims today and work is flying around .. lots of prims and lots of fun is about to happen...

until there's a cure!!!

Whats Lag Got To Do With It!!!

So, the countdown is at 12 days before the fair and boy things are really moving along. I was asking a few people lately what should I talk about in the blog this week and everyone has mention we have to keep thinking about keeping this Fair as Lag Free as possible. So with the help of my good friend Madison Donnelly ..I bring you the fact and fictions of Lag Free Shopping.... (this was originally posted in her blog)


Here’s my philosophy. Everyone is having a hard time rezzing and can barely move. They are focused on shopping. Do you think they care what you look like? If you are reading this and know someone who needs to give this post a whirl, please forward it on and help the rest of us.
Here’s my list of tips and tricks that seemed to have helped me survive the lag at the Relay for Life Clothing Fair:

Remove your prims: Yes, girls. You too can live without your lashes, face lights, prim skirts, 200-prim boots, and yes…*GASP* your hair! Try a system skirt. There’s lots of cute stuff out there that has NO PRIMS! Besides, others will think its just the lag and your hair is slow to rez.

Prims, Part 2: Take them off before you go! The server will be slow to respond, so they won’t come off right away, if at all. A little preparation will take you a long way.

Remove scripted objects: AO’s, multi gadgets, mysti tools, anti-away and anti-spy devices, AV radar, and translators. FYI, I find flying less traumatic than standing when I’ve got no AO!!

Turn down your graphics settings: turn off local lighting and water rippling, set your terrain detail to low, and crank down those sliders as low as you can stand it.

Cam in from a neighboring sim: If you are lucky, stand on the property line and cam in. Also helpful if the sim is full. There are 4 sims for this event so if you are on one and there happens to be some lag just head over to another sim.

Remember: If you are just looking to shop then shop on off peak times. There will be lots of events going on during the day (ie: Fashion shows and Live Music) so if you don't want to participate then make sure you check the schedule to see when they are happening.

Any tricks or tips you’d like to share? Favorite shopping outfits? Please let me the rest of us know how you survive the lag-fest!

The Team has worked very hard to make this event as lag-free as possible so remember to do your part and enjoy your shopping!!!!

Until there's a cure!!!!

13 Days to go ........

Lots of Progress going on .... We have hit cunch time and the hammers and nails are quickly being used up. Pips has been working hard trying to get all the shops in place and the layout perfect for an awesome shopping experiencea as you can see from the picture, this is a sneek peak of the autumn sim being worked on.

So we have alot going on .. the Entertainment schedule is about complete and wow I can saw not only do we have some awesome designers coming together to help Raise money for the Cause... we have some of SL's Best Entertainers and Dj's participating. More on that tomorrow!!!!

Been a couple of days

Its been a couple days since I was able to sit down and blog about the fair . I can tell you that Sunday, when I logged onto SL, I almost could'nt believe that we had made it to the 30 day count down point. Right away I started to think of all the things we had to do and lucky for me panic wasnt about to set it because we had the big kick off event to focus on .

Well, now we are at 28 days before the fair and I think the everyone is getting excited. You could feel the energy on Sunday and for me it was more of a drive to get this here and start raising money . I Hope everyone is getting ready because ... yes... Relay time is here!!!!

The sims are starting to shape up and Pips is working hard everyday .. I have to put a plug in here for Lilith Heart who donated all the trees for the entire build. Thanks Lilith and Dolly !!! Also, I am going to be touching base wiht everyone this week so if you dont hear from me by thursday please shoot me an im .. I need to get final confirmation done for the vendor list.

So Dj's are booked, Live Musicians are ready to sing their hearts out , the vendors are being created...

So, its crunch time now folks.. Lets get ready to Relay and kick this clothing fair off with a huge bang...

Until theres a cure!!!!

Have a great day everyone,
Until there's a cure.......

Thank you Rezzable!!!!

I know that a lot of people do not know what has happen over the past two weeks when it comes to the fair. We, unfortunately, were told about 10 days ago that the people donating the Sims for the fair would not be able to provide them for us . This put us into a panic mode... we have done so much planning that how could be be without Sims. Well.. it was pretty late that night and I was not going to be able to sleep until I found Sims for us to use .

I am very very please to announce that this years Clothing Fair has Sims!! These Sims have been donated by the wonderful People from Rezzable. Home of the Greenies, Crimson Shadow, Toxic, and others, the Rezzable team has been creating some of the most fantastic builds in SL over the past year or so. We are very honored to be able to have them as a sponsor this year and as a part of Relay for Life .

I do have to say thank you to Callie Cline for putting us in contact with the Rezzable group. I also would like to thank Wiccan Sojouner for being a big support and for her ideas as we dealt with this issue.

As an event planner and project manager, I have found out when thing are going smoothly you should never sit on your laurels. Challenges are there to overcome and provide test for us to succeed on a higher level.

Now.. on to other information. Pips and I have been putting together Information packages regarding the design and responsibilities of the Designers . Most of you were not involved at the last fair so there are lots of question of what do i do? This package will provide all your answers and it will be sent out this weekend. Because of the Sim donation .. I have been told that two of them are already ready so Pips will be able to get a head start on the build, hopefully to get the designers into shops earlier then we had planned!!

Thanks everyone for your hard work ...

Until there is a cure.....
