RL/SL Artist Requests Help from SL Fashion Designers

UPDATE: Thanks to Belleza skin, hoornebeek clothing and KMADD. This av is going to be hot!

In RL, art, fashion, and music cross over many times. Why not in SL? Misprint Thursday, a RL and SL artist, is reaching out to the fashion community. An exciting project she is working on with a RL musician is in need of some help. And this is where YOU come in. This amazingly hot talented hot RL musician needs some help in making him look .. well...hot. She is requesting help from you, SL fashion designers. Please read below and contact Misprint if you are interested in getting involved. If you've been thinking about shaking things up a bit, this might just be the opportunity for you.

From Misprint:

Dear Fine Creator,

I am writing to you today to be part of something special. I am part of a RL project as a musician and an organizer which is to raise funds for Amnesty International and War Child Canada. The project is called Peace Partners. Currently, Peace Partners has 3 albums out and is in the process of increasing awareness and working toward increasing album sales. Part of this promotional effort includes doing an interview and live show through Pop Art Lab and their televised program Pop Vox. I personally have a track on the third album, Vision of Peace.

On November 1, real life musician Kevin Thompson of Montreal will play live as part of this promotion. Kevin is THE up and coming musician for Francophone Canada and we are very excited he will come to Second Life to perform. Although he sings in French his appeal goes beyond language barriers.

This brings me to my request. I have been charged with assisting styling the avatars of the director of Peace Partners and the avatar of Kevin Thompson. I am looking for a donations of a few complete male avatar styles which will be used for an upcoming treet TV televised event, as well as other promotion. (I also would not say no to a promotional skin/make over as I am in the interview as well) The statistics from Treet TV show that shows get around 40,000 hits. In exchange for your donation you will be thanked and credited as styling the avatars on Treet TV with a link and a mention by myself who will also be in the interview.

We hope you will consider this opportunity because it could be a nice promotion for your goods and a good project to support.

Here are some links about the project Peace Partners and about Kevin Thompson:

Please contact me regarding this and I look forward to hearing back from you.

Very best,
Misprint Thursday

Put Your Defenses Down

Defenses are easy to put down when love is involved. Love that makes you feel loved, safe, secure.

Put your defense down
open up your heart and lay
all of it out
I know how hard it sounds
but loneliness will have it’s way
in feeding your doubts

I’m waiting on the light
waiting on the light to change
I’m chasing out the lies
chasing out the lies
that keep you caged
I’m waiting, waiting on the light to change

No matter what’s inside
There is nothing you can say
to cause me to hide
You know I’m broken too
I’ve fallen far, I lost my faith
been found and made new

I’m waiting on the light
waiting on the light to change
I’m chasing out the lies
chasing out the lies
that keep you caged
I’m waiting, waiting on the light to change

Oh, love won’t let you go
It bends and reaches low
Just let go

I’m waiting on the light
waiting on the light to change
I’m chasing out the lies
chasing out the lies
that keep you caged
I’m waiting, waiting on the light to change

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)

I'd like to give a shout out to the following people have donated their time and energy to RFL - American Cancer Society in SL.
