RFL Clothing Fair, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Second Life’s 4th Annual Clothing Fair benefitting Relay for Life is open! From March 13th at 3pm slt through Sunday, March 21, 2010 9pm SLT you can shop til you drop on 9 sims with over 150 merchants who all have set out 4 or more items of which ALL proceeds will go directly to the American Cancer Society (these are the items in the dedicated RFL vendors)

The Clothing Fair began as a dream three years ago with 34 stores participating in this event for Relay for Life. Since that date, it has grown to over 150 designers over 9 sims and has raised over 11 million Linden Dollars for RFL.

This year is no different. Prepare to be immersed in 8 of the greatest “Fashion Cities of the World” surrounding a center sim patterned after the UN Sculpture Gardens containing sculptures from some of SL’s most talented artists.

For the occasion I have dressed up in Très Beau’s RFL Exclusive Amethyst gown. Yes it is the gown you see on Clothing Fair posters. Isn’t the texture of this gown amazing??? I’m also wearing alaMood’s Amethyst Night Life set, which is also a RFL exclusive (Both alaMood and Très Beau can be found on the CF Milan sim).

Tuli’s Eva 2/6a is the perfect skin with this gown and the stylish red chignon is Summer, by fri.day.

Visit Clothing Fair 2010 and help making this year’s SLRFL bigger and better than all the previous editions!

Wilma Hijacked my Blog! <3

My name is Wilma Delgado and I’m a breast cancer survivor.  This testimony was actually written last year during SL Relay for Life..but I felt like today was a good day to post it again.  This is why I’m walking around the grid today looking like the offspring of Barney and Tinkerbell!  In real life I just had my first haircut…only thing is..I sure don’t remember having this much gray mixed in with the blond! Oh well….I’m healthy and happy and I will deal with the gray in my own way.  Thank God for good hairdressers and the magical potions they possess.

I’m a bit of a private person but I will tell you a bit about my reasoning for being so vocal about RFL.. I’m a cancer survivor! I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in August of 2004. I went thru chemo and radiation…thinking it was all over and done with. But, this wasn’t to be. I was diagnosed a second time in July of 2007. I finished my chemo in late March. I’m finishing up with my radiation now and I fully intend on being around to spoil my grandbabies SOMEDAY. My son is 22 and a senior in college. I will be here to see those grandkids. I know that. I feel it in my heart.

I think it is amazing at what we can do when we pull together and work towards the goal. SL RFL has been one of the most touching things I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been involved with RFL for many years and I was just as touched at the Survivors Lap in SL as I was my first survivors lap in so called real world. I sat in front of my computer on a beautiful summer day…I sat there all day…couldn’t tear myself away from the computer screen. Everyone came together for the same cause. This is a beautiful thing!

Cancer is a horrible disease but it doesn’t have to be a death sentence. Don’t look at me like I’m sick or a patient..just look at me. ..I’m a mom..I’m a daughter..a sister …a wife…a friend..I am you. Cancer can happen to anyone. Let’s just find a cure.

Please join me at Relay for Life and be generous. Help us Remember, Celebrate and Fight Back against Cancer!

Until there’s a Cure,

Wilma Delgado

Oh, I forgot this part..grins. I walked my Survivors Lap with my 79 year old mother. She is a breast cancer survivor of 40 years! I walked in our honor and in memory of my older sister that lost her fight to ovarian cancer at the very young age of 46.
