Fashion for Life is the kick off event for the RFL season, so we open in a big way for all the fundraising that goes on in SL for RFL through their season. All donations go to SL Relay for Life, benefiting the American Cancer Society. We are SL’s longest running fashion fair and one of the biggest on the grid.

Running March 10-20 across 9 sims, this year’s theme will be “It’s Time…,” evoking the urgency of a cure for cancer. Spread over the sims will be 192 stores with gatcha areas, a hunt, and a raffle, all with the goal of raising funds for the American Cancer Society. Fashion for Life will feature the best designers from around the globe.

Our mission is to maximize donations to the American Cancer Society via the SL Relay for Life while creating a great sales environment for in-world avatar content (including lowered lag). Our goal is provide complete transparency in financial and operational actions to all residents. And to have fun doing this!

This year Tres Beau has created an exclusive dress as well pictured below that is only available at Fashion for Life!

AVENUE of Life: 10 hours LIVE MUSIC to RELAY

AVENUE of Life:

10 hours LIVE MUSIC to RELAY

AVENUE of Life cordially invites you to a 10 hours marathon to celebrate music and support the American Cancer Society.

A rich line-up with some of the best performers on the grid:

12pm SLT – Blindboy Gumbo

UK Northener Blindboy Gumbo started his SL music career mostly doing covers with the odd original thrown in for good measure, but with regular shows and audience feedback he found SL live music to be more than just doing covers for fun, and it became an outlet for his real talent, performing his original music and playing some serious slide guitar!

01pm SLT – POL Arida

POL Arida is a solo artist working from Edinburgh, Scotland. Words are POL’s real passion and each of his original songs presents his own unique perspective of life in this world we live in.

02pm SLT – Savannah Coronet

‘I am influenced in my Singing by many different genres. My passion is country music. Singing has taken me in many different directions including small musicals, theatrical roles, honors chorus, talent shows and karaoke shows. I have won contests and I was also a singer in a garage band for a few years. Now I am living out my dream here in Second Life!’

03pm SLT – Freestar Tammas

Freestar Tammas, or “Free” as she is known to most, has streamed live in SL since May ’07. Her singing/songwriting style developed while listening to Bonnie Raitt and classic Elton John/Bernie Taupin (pre-1976), resulting in her own bluesy, sassy, soulful style. Quirky, irreverent and often a bit naughty, she is an original personality playing original acoustic tunes, making the few covers she performs completely her own.

04pm SLT – Allister Westland

Allister has been writing and performing music for over 20 years. He is self taught in guitar, bass, percussion and keyboards. He is also Conservatory trained in Clarinet and has won several awards for his playing abilities. Allister has performed and recorded with many bands throughout the years and has solid stage and recording studio experience.

05pm SLT – Lighthouse Mixmaster

Joel Harlan, aka Lighthouse Mixmaster, has been playing professionally, both live and session work, for many years. While living in Texas, Joel has jammed with Ted Nugent, Jimmy Wallace & Bugs Henderson. He has also shared the stage with many artists including Tracy Byrd, Black Oak Arkansas, Three Dog Night and many more. Joel has been playing guitar ever since 1976. He attended Southwest Guitar Conservatory in 1985 where he studied with Jackie King and Herb Ellis.

06pm SLT – Rapture Damone

One woman and six strings equals pure pleasure. Rapture delivers an eclectic mix of covers that provide pleasure regardless of your music of choice! She pulls out new material constantly and delivers it with talent and enthusiasm… always interacting with her audience to deliver what they ask for!

07pm SLT – Sojurn Rossini

Sojurn Rossini has been rocking the SL music scene for a few years now. He plays regular gigs at several different hot spots around the grid. Sojurn has an eclectic array of influences and cover tunes ranging from Bob Marley to James Taylor, to more recent artist like Pearl Jam, Incubus, Three doors down, Jack Johnson and more. If you are looking for a whole lotta soul packed into one man’s performance, this is the guy to see!

08pm SLT – Maximillion Kleene

If music feeds the soul, Maximillion Kleene is the food of the gods. His dynamic musical range and smooth groove provide many a listener with a virtual buffet of auditory temptations. Max brings high energy and a vast repertoire of quirky, classic, and current covers to Second Life. Oozing charisma and charm, he provides his fans with an hour of musical magic.

09pm SLT – Edward Kyomoon

Edward gives you high energy rock music and love songs, performing live on either acoustic or electric guitar. From high energy guitar solos and soaring vocals to acoustic ballads and love songs that make the girls swoon, he is sure to please any audience he draws.

FANTASY FAIRE: Don’t Miss this 9 Sim Event.

From Monday April 19th to Sunday 25th 2010, thousands of Second Life residents and creators are coming together to support the American Cancer Society’s vision of a world without cancer. Friends Fighting Cancer (FFC) have transformed nine sims of Second Life into a fantasy wonderland: the Fantasy Faire 2010 to benefit Relay for Life of Second Life (RFL of SL).

The Fantasy Faire 2010 is the largest gathering of fantasy designers, enthusiasts, roleplayers and performers in the virtual world. A week of commerce, special events, live music concerts, exclusive items auctions, RFL ribbon hunts and fundraising to benefit Relay for Life and the fight against cancer. Avatars, clothing, furnishings, gadgets, goodies and exclusive items are available from top SL Fantasy Creators including Fantavatar and Moonstruck, Evie’s Closet, Fallen Gods, Mer Betta, Sassy Kitty, and many, many more!

This nine sim event is bringing together such fantasy genres as Fairy, Elven, Magic, Mermaid, Goth, Demon, Vamp, Neko, Tiny, Sci-Fi and more! FFC’s goal in 2010 is to raise $15,000 USD for RFL of SL. The Fantasy Faire 2010 will also offer visitors an opportunity to celebrate the survivors of cancer, remember and honor loved ones lost, and to fight back with the American Cancer Society.

Check out our AMAZING Sponsor & Creator list! http://www.fantasyfaire2010.wordpress.com

You can view some of last year’s beautiful sims on YouTube, featuring our great environments and creators from Fantasy Faire 2009, shot by the talented kyota Spitteler and also a fantastic interview of Zander Greene, our Creative Director, showing scenes from across all the sims as he is interviewed fo Life On Line and discusses the background to the Faire:

Neko: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sjXuVWt0ZU

Mer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqCnglEVZhM

As with all events this size, there will be lag. We have done our best to keep it as low as we can but we’ll also need your help. Be considerate of your fellow shoppers…keep prims and bling in your pocket…turn off your AOs and other scripted HUDs… You will find the going easier for yourself. Low prim clothes are available at each teleport point so that you can show your support for The Relay for Life and help everything run smoother PLUS our secret Fairy Godmother will be dropping FABULOUS prizes on people with really low Avatar Render Cost and Scripts for doing such a great job at keeping the lag down!

—————————————————————————

Since its inception in 2005, the RFL of SL has grown in both attendance and fundraising. With almost $275,000 USD raised last year RFL of SL has become the largest fundraising event in the virtual world.
