I can't believe its over .........

Over the last week, it seems that time has flown by. Almost a years worth of work and this morning we fly around the sims that are not starting to look empty. Just yesterday there was hustling, bustling, music , laughter, and shopping .. now you walk the fair and yes you might see a person or two .. maybe one of the designers trying to decide if they should clean up or leave it for a little bit. Or, those of us who are finally getting a chance to even look in the shops that have been filled all week long . The clothing fair has found its end and we did go out with a bang, Raising almost 400K in the Silent auction bringing our total over 4.5 Million lindens in one weeks time.

There are so many people we have tried to thank that we get overwhelmed at times; however, in all the thank yous we have forgotten two very special people. Today dana and Amethyst were begining to pull up the landscaping around the sims and we all said.. wow we forgot to thank the Hearts. Lilith and Dolly Heart of Heart Garden are two amazing women who have much passion in the cause that we fight so hard for. They are Members of the Relay Raiders team and for the third year in a row they donated as much landscaping as we could need to make the beauty of those sims come alive. Just two weeks ago I contacted Lilith and asked her to help us make this vision come true. Not knowing what we would need or where to even start with our annual list, Lilith messaged me and said dont worry .. I will put together some wonderful things and get them to you ... well that she did and you all saw the amazing outcome...

We thank you Lilith and Dolly !!!

We also want to thanks the staff and owners of photoLife studio, all the bloggers and contest participants., and most importantly , we want to thank you .. the shopper... with out you and your lindens we wouldnt have been able to raise as much as we did this year.

SO here we go .. time to clean up.. take a week to catch up on sleep and then back at it .. Cuz ... 2010 will be here before we know it and it will be time to shop again ....

See you all next year..

Nevar and Amethyst

Clothing Fair Treasure Hunt

What would a pirate's island be without treasure and there are 19 around the 9 sims to find. Be sure to look high and low...the best treasures are always the hardest to find. This is what you're looking for....

Clothing Fair and Lag

The Clothing Fair is rockin' and rollin' and the sims are packed to see all of the great designs. But as with all events this size...we have the ever present problem of lag. We've done our part to make it as lag free as possible but we need you too.

Trust me when I tell you people do not care what you are wearing except when it affects their experience of the event. Let me show you some pictures of people with very high ARC (Avatar Rendering Cost).
If you can't move...take a look at what you're wearing. Check your ARC. You can do this by going to the Advanced menu and selecting Rendering/Info Displays/Avatar Rendering Cost.

We are very grateful for each and every one of you visiting the Fair and supporting RFL. Please help us make this event enjoyable for you too.

Clothing Fair Treasure Hunt

Before the Fair Begins

Dear All,
On the 16th of March the Annual Clothing fair to benefit RFL kicks off at 10am but before it starts there are a few people that deserve recognition for all they have personally put into making this huge event a success.
Just getting the fair to the size it is now and the organization and building involved is a huge achievement.

Firstly and always foremost we have to thank Babe and Eyeing Daligdig of Ohana Land, Dyldam.com and JC Designs without whose bravery and willingness to dream this fair would never have got to where it is.

Next have to be the individual sim sponsors which of course also includes Babe and Eyeing:
Sim 1 Sponsor House of RFyre
Sim 2 Sponsor Maxie McBride & Moxie Polano
Sim 3 Sponsor LaPointe & BastChild Designs
Sim 4 Sponsor Destiny Dreams
Sim 5 Sponsor Ohana Land/Dyldam.com
Sim 6 Sponsor Alexandar Fine Jewelry
Sim 7 Sponsor DeLa
Sim 8 Sponsor JC Designs
Sim 9 Sponsors Bastians and Rosebud Designs

Then the fabulous Team of dreamers and builders who made the visions of the Raiders come true on the 9 themed sims:
- HaroldThe Burrel for his support and Ideas as well as team captain. Harry is the backbone of the raiders and will be overseeing the entertainment during the fair.
- Pips Fetid - although RL called her away, as co-founder of the clothing fair for RFL, her Pirate theme keeps her with us.
- Moxie Polano who provided all the maps and textures and some amazingly creative buildings for the stores as well as having a huge input in the overall design and managing to design one of the 7 one of a kind dresses to be auctioned off as well as lead the building project.
- Indra Jun for her help setting up the sims.
- SarinaJane Loon and the Timeless Agency for planning the Fashion Shows.
- Viscount Menatep for getting us the incredible ships that are the highlight of the fair and building the sponsor stores on every sim.
- Synergy Devonshire who has been instrumental in helping raise awareness and get people involved in gathering treasure hunt prizes.
- Dana Vanmoer for her terraforming and help with the landscaping and of course press coverage in sl-newspaper.com (look out for more interviews from designers and sponsors).

The following designers for their incredibly recreations of the 7 deadly sins dresses:
Raven Pennyfeather
Moxie Polano
Paul Lapointe
Swaffette Firefly
Wiccan Sojourner
Nicky Ree
Lemania Indigo
Bidding will start for these one of a kind gowns when the fair begins on Monday, March 16, 2009 at 10:00 am SLT and will close at 6:00 pm SLT on Sunday, March 22, 2009. Winners will be announced at 8:00 pm SLT on the 22nd to bid the fair adieu.

There will be a total of 4 fashion shows by SerinaJane Loon and Timeless agency with all the models chomping at the bit to take part in this amazing event - you can even see some of the RFL dedicated designs being modelled on their blog : http://timelessagency.blogspot.com/ Thank you to all of you!

During the fair there will be countless live bands and DJs and we have to thank all of them for giving their time and energy!

The biggest part of this fair are the designers themselves who have gone to huge lengths to give of their time and effort to make this the biggest fashion event of the year for a worthwhile cause and we would just like to thank each and every one of you for being here and doing your part to save lives and give us all hope.

The theme for this year's Relay campaign is One World, One Hope... it's about embracing our diversity and coming together for a common cause.. and our prayer is...as people work this year on Relay... that they remember this is not about them...but something much bigger than they will ever be.

Thank you all for all you have done and all you are about to do!

Nevar and Amethyst

Clothing Fair Auction

The Relay Raiders are proud to present 7 original dresses designed by a few of SL’s premier clothing designers. Representing the 7 Deadly Sins, these works of art will be auctioned during this year’s “Clothing Fair 2009”, by way of silent auction. The auction is scheduled to run from the sim’s grand-opening on Monday, March 16, 2009 at 9:00 am SLT; until 6:00 pm SLT Sunday, March 22, 2009.

Fashioned after the art of Marta Dahlig, this year’s designs are as indulgent as the sins they represent. Bidding is the easy part… there are 9 sims with over 170 designers represented this year and entertainment scheduled around the clock! Even sin can be beautiful in your second life… and let’s face, there’s a little sin in all of us!

All auction proceeds to benefit Relay For Life of Second Life 2009.

Thar Be Pirates!

Friday morning dawned bright with just a hint of mist rolling off the seas, the tang of salt in the air. Nevar quietly opened the sims to the designers after he and Dana (Vanmoer) checked to make sure all the pirates were fast asleep in their bunks. One small detail was forgotten however, and a cry went up from the lookout as the designers were discovered! The intrepid duo, knowing the fair was at stake, jumped aboard the ship and held back the pirates so the shops could be filled. Dana the Red and Nevar the Black have been hard at work all weekend protecting those special and one of a kind designs from falling into the wrong hands.

In the meantime, as any good fashionista's wife would, I was following the rumor there would be a treasure hunt during the fair as well. After scrounging and scavaging, I did discover one treasure hidden in some of the island foliage. I've included a picture of this amazing fob watch to whet your appetites.

Just 8 more days!! You won't want to miss this!

The Pirates Have Landed!

Hello again everyone. As you can see by the picture, the pirates have landed and that means you get another post from me. The minute they arrived, Nevar and Harry (Haroldthe Burrel) jumped on the ship to get acquainted and the last I looked they were slumped against the mast with a half empty bottle of rum surrounded by others in an equal state of happiness singing at the tops of their lungs wondering where the wenches were.

The sims arrived yesterday and we've begun the process of putting everything together. Keep your eyes open over the next few days as we share more news and tidbits. From what I hear there is another contest in the offing as well.

Arrrrrrr!
