Mad Designs Hair - Couture Collection - Ana

When I first heard about Plurk, I thought it was a joke. Well let me tell you, it isn't!

I truly lucked out yesterday while sitting here in SL just working on a few projects when I heard the Plurk "new message" sound. I looked over to see that Maddox DuPont was putting out an offer I couldn't refuse to attempt. It was be the first so many ladies to IM in SL and they would get some NEW free hair. Well, some other Plurkers beat me to the punch, but I ended up with this wonderful surprise to have "ANA" coming my way in various colors.

I love this hair! It's kind of victorian meets goth. I will say this much though, it is wonderful! I played around with styling it up and sent a picture over to Maddox just to show him how it looked. Next thing I know I am standing in the studio being shot from all angles.

Luck looked favorably on me yesterday. Thank you Maddox and Plurk for a fruitful afternoon!

Relay for Life in Second Life


7.17.09_001, originally uploaded by Laurel Luminos.

Celebrating its fifth year in the virtual world, the 2009 American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Second Life is set for July 18-19 as avatars representing cancer survivors, caregivers, their families and the millions of passionate supporters gather virtually to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and join the American Cancer Society in fighting for every birthday, threatened by every cancer in every community.

This year’s virtual world event is expected to attract in excess of 3,000 participants as more than 125 teams unite toward reaching a fundraising goal of $250,000. In 2008, Relay For Life of Second Life raised $215,000 – surpassing its total for the previous three years, combined. The latest announcement showed the current standing of 56 million lindens already raised and the walk has not yet begun.

Relay


Here is one of the starting points. Please, come out, walk, remember and even if all you put in is one single linden, it is one linden closer to a cure.

The current total, as of this writing is at :

L$55,427,390
US $ 241, 972.56

Let's Get Grubby


Let's Get Grubby, originally uploaded by Laurel Luminos.

After a rather busy day I stopped into the Grand Opening of "Island of Silk". I have to say, it was a breath of fresh air at the end of the day.

After taking a little raft across the pond I came around a corner to find a little vegetable garden. It is fittingly called " Lets Get Grubby" and built by Keikei Baxton. It was a nice way to end the day, spending time in the garden, feeling the fresh dirt on ones hands. Keikei, please, keep building things like such.

Not really! Just the name of the picture as it just seemed fitting.

The Rezzable sims are a wonderful place to go and roam around. Take some pictures, enjoy the view and maybe make some friends along the way.

Give in to Temptation 1


Give in to Temptation 1, originally uploaded by Laurel Luminos.

One must truly love when great skin designers decide to have a sale. Unknown to me until about 3pm est yesterday afternoon, I didn't know that Nomine was having a sale on all the specialty skins. Well, a kind soul let me in on the secret so I ran over to the store with lindens in hand and stood there for an hour, picking out just the right ones to add to my collection.

I came away with five different skins for half the price of one regular priced skin from Nomine. Sadly, the sale ended this morning at 12:01AM SLT.

Laurel Luminos - Love's Flight

Ando Joubert has built a gorgeous sim named Symphony. This photo, which Spectre was so kind to help me with, made it to the final twelve in a photo competition.

Congratulations to all that sent photos in for the competition. Everyone of you sent in wonderful thoughts of what one feels is so exceptional about the Symphony sim.

If you ever think you want to go someplace that is enjoyable, relaxing and in general beautiful, this is the place to go.

Boudoir Secrets


Its going to be a great day! Today, June 13, 2009 is the day for one of the biggest fashion shows in Second Life. Boudoir Secrets by AVENUE Models is huge and includes nine different designers of the best lingerie to be found in Second Life. To not be there would be sad, but I would understand if life takes you away from a bevy of beautiful women in lingerie. *laughs* NOT!

Thursday night and all is well.....

YAY, Thursday night so that means tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!! Friday means another chance at free chocolate! (See previous post for the info)

In the meantime, I have picked up a couple of lines of clothing to sell in my shops located on the Ansari sim, currently. Many of you have probably seen the “Shouted Couture” line around the Second Life grid but did you know that there is also a men’s line? “Menlosophy” came out May 23rd and while I was speaking with Mimi, she let me know that they were looking for resellers. After speaking with her for an extended amount of time, I figured what the heck and have joined up. As soon as I get the store settled in I will get a SLURL up and hopefully you will all stop in and visit!

Coming up this weekend:

LaRosa Fashion Show – Saturday, May 30, 2009 – 12pm SLT at the AVENUE Sky Runway.

Here is hoping everyone has a great weekend!

Free Chocolate Fridays!

That's right, you read that correctly! While watching a local news station they mentioned Mars was giving away chocolate bars on Fridays.

I had to check this out and share it with all of you because I don't know many people that don't like chocolate of some form or another.

Check it out!

Relaxing at Symphonic


Relaxing at Symphonic, originally uploaded by Laurel Luminos.

I took some time today to enjoy this wonderful place after having had it on a list of places that I have been wanting to go see.

After roaming around and looking in various buildings I came across this wonderful field of flowers. As I walked into the center of it there was the invitation to lay down and relax, a wonderfully soft pillow that seemed to call my name.

The rest of the afternoon was spent relaxing, watching the day turn into night and napping. If you ever need a place to go to just relax and enjoy, look up Symphonic.

Practice, practice, practice!

Practice, practice, practice has been the theme today while preparing for the upcoming graduation show from AVENUE Modeling Academy. This experience has truly shown that the show may look so easy and simple, but the actuality of it, it's not.

From day one of the academy, I knew I had joined a group that truly could be a plus in my learning all that goes on with modeling, within Second Life. The kindness shown by the instructors and their understanding of the issues each of us faces has made going to class so much fun!

As time passes along, I will be updating my blog with various blurbs. It could be anything from upcoming shows to shops that I tend to keep going back to, over and over and over again!

Here is hoping that everyone enjoys. If you will excuse me though, I need to get back to practicing!
