Fashion Fest 2010 - Exhaustion for a Good Cause

Fashion Fest 2010 opened tonight with some of the best music in SL. The Follow kicked it off for an hour of their own amazing sound. Then Damian Carbenell hit the stage with more awesomeness before the Limited Edition Fashion Show began. Then Skye Galaxy hit the stage and OMG the lag was insane. After restarting the sim, Max hit the stage. He refused to leave until we had made 20,000 more lindens. And you know Max...we made it!

Tomorrow promises to be another awesome day at Fashion Fest. Over 100 designers! Erin68 Frog will start things off tomorrow at 10am. After Erin is the One of a Kind fashion show. Shasta Soulstar is at 12 noon. Following Shasta is the Designers Ball in Venice.

After the Designers Ball, CraigLyons Writer will take the stream from 3-4pm, followed by Damian Carbenell at 4pm. Keeba Tamma will round out the day at 5pm.

I hope to see all of you there! It will be one of the more amazing days in SL and for RFL!

Fashion Fest 2010 - RFL

I was going to do some sort of fashion post. And I still am. But with a little more substance. Starting July 2 and ending July 11, Fashion Fest 2010 will be hitting the runway in SL. This is a Relay for Life event benefitting the American Cancer Society.

Yes, I know that RFL seems to have gone on forever. And I've heard the complaint that people are "benefitted" out. I was feeling the same way. This year, I have the honor and privilege of Chairing Live Music for Fashion Fest. My responsibilities consist of booking the musicians and finding hosts to help.

I would say 95% of the musicians and managers I spoke to were more than willing to help out. The hosts are mostly from the amazing friends I have. There were some who responded enthusiastically and others that did not respond at all.

This experience so far has been one of complete amazement at the love and support and generosity of heart by so many people, and of shock and disappointment at the indifference of some others. Many of these people who are helping at this event are cancer patients, cancer survivors, caregivers, and those like myself who have lost someone they love to this terrible disease.

I don't like coming from a place of fear. The truth is: 

Approximately 1500 people die each day in the United States due to cancer. About 3,400 people are diagnosed with cancer each day in the U.S. (American Cancer Society)

Fashion Fest 2010 - Calling All Designers!

R

The All-Stars Relay For Life team would like to cordially invite you to participate in our 3rd Annual Fashion Expo, now called the Fashion Fest! Fashion Expo 2009 was an incredible success, raising over 1 million lindens for the American Cancer Society and bringing thousands of shoppers to some of SL's BEST Fashion Designers!

Fashion Fest 2010 will take place July 2nd - July 11th, 2010 and combines a mixture of different designers and talents into one area that will span 9 sims! Everything from clothing, to hair, to shoes, to skins, to shapes, to jewelry, to poses and more will be represented! If it's about FASHION, we'll have it.

This year's theme will be SL's Back to the Future! Each sim will be a different location and point in time and the teleport directories will be designed to look like time machines. Once inside the shops, the theme stops.. so the shop's interiors are all designer's fashions and selling your designs.

Fashion Expo 2010 promises to be bigger and better and full of surprises! If you are interested in showcasing your designs at the Fashion Fest, fill out the Fashion Fest 2010 Registration Form, return it to Nikki Mathieson and reserve your spot today. The spaces will fill up fast! We hope to see YOU there!
