Shopping…for a good cause?!

My first year of highschool, my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer. That was earth shaking. I got involved in a lot of local breast cancer charities. I participated in some annually. I even did the real life Relay for Life once. (Relay for life, is when a team of people is formed, and pledges are made based on the amount of laps done, in the 24 hour relay.) Last year, on my dad’s birthday, his father passed away from lung cancer.
There is an annual one week long fashion fair to benefit The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. Over (I beleive) 60 designers get together over 4 sims, and people come to score great deals, discover new brands, and find some kickass limitied edition dresses. Oh yeah, and to give money to a great cause.
I wandered and wandered. I met some designers. I bought some exclusives. And here is what I have to show.
This great pink number is by Icing. It is called Pink Miss Hathaway, and it is a RFL exclusive. (Meaning it is only available this week, in the RFL clothing fair.) (My tail was attatched to my stomach for this entire shoot) From this piece alone, I can tell you that I will be going back to Icing many, many times. And this was one of the special items that the entire purchase price went to RFL.
This green dress (such a high fashion dress) comes to us from Digital Darkes. It’s their Goddess dress in Wasabi. It cost me only one dollar, and I dont know if any of the profit from this particular dress went to RFL, but it’s a great dress, and comes in many other colors.
This is my first purchase from Popfuzz. A store I will certainly frequent, now that I am aware of it’s existance! This is a set called Gothic Purple Fairy. Again, I dont know if any of the profit from this particular dress went to RFL, but it’s a great dress, and comes a black variety as well.
Oh, what a gown! This is the kind of dress that if you want it, ladies (and maybe some gentlemen!) you need to buy this right away. It’s available from Nymphetamine for the RFL only, and costs a whopping 500L. This dress will be available no other time. And it’s a lovely lavender and white combination, just like the RFL propaganda!
Last, but never, ever least… this is a little outfit I put together. The cupcake on my head, is made by Pink Rain. It’s mod, so you can make it bigger too, or change the colors. I’d been waiting for it for a while (I bought, back when SL was having issues,) and was so excited to see it in my inventory, that I had to put it on with this Devilish Cupcake top (Called Roller Rainbow)! DevilishCupcake is a brand to seriously look for. They’re at the RFL fair, and have some exclusive sets. Not to mention that they’re affordable and really different from anything out there. Can you tell I’m a fan?
Anyway, I paired the DC top with another exclusive item. Bare Rose (the super hip, MEGA STORE) put out a purple variant of their Blossom dress, with all the proceeds going to RFL. So, I bought it, decided that the top of the dress wasnt really me, and chopped it off, making one of the cutest skirts EVER. (The texturing on the fabric is really neat too.)
So, that concludes my RFL blog. It shouldnt be hard to find, search “Relay” in the SL event search, and be on your way. I know I bought more stuff, but I need to dig through my inventory for it. And people are friendly here too, just try to be low on prims. Maybe take everything off, just be a discolored human, and n00b-run through the entire 4 sims. (It’s oddly refreshing.)
