We love you, Japan.

Less than 12h after the beginning of Pacific Crisis Fundraiser, over L$1,000,000 were already given to the cause from donations and purchases. ONE MILLION! That's fantastic!

And because you can never have too many skins, mostly when it helps a good cause, I got myself these two lovely ones below. At 600L$ each, 100% donation to PCF, it's quite a deal... you know you have to get them too! These two skins are asian inspired but fit my caucasian shape quite well.

Look

Skin : Glam Affair - Sakura in Natural 01 (PCF 100% donation)
Hair : Sixty-Nine - Jessica in Dark Mocha (tinted)
Eyes : MADesigns - Promise collection in Green 13
Lashes : Redgrave - Lucious #6
Alpha layers : cheLLe - Moles in Freckles Light & Mole! 3

Boots : Mon Tissu - Provence riding boots in Dark Brown
Necklace : Statique. - Hope necklace (PCF 100% donation)

Pose : Statique. - Jump! 01

100% good cause.

Don't forget : Pacific Crisis Fundraiser starts tomorrow and you can find plenty of lovely things. I wanted to make a 100% PCF outfit (including skin, hair and eyes) but Paypal won't cooperate and I'm out of Lindens. Oops.

So I'm 100% donation from neck to knees. Better than nothing?

Pacific Crisis Fundraiser.

Statique. is extremely honored to be part of the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser which starts this Wednesday, for a full month! Again, I'll let the press release speak for itself :

"An emergency fundraising effort for the victims of the crisis in the Pacific that hit on the 10th/11th of march is being set up.

SL is an international community, with a strong base in Japan specifically. This disaster is worldwide and affects us all, as a community SL has risen up time and time again to help out in times of distress, including very recently.

In september 2010, 11,000 us dollars was raised for the Pakistan flood crisis relief fund (UNICEF) at an SL event. An event organized in four days. This is an example of what our community can do, and we are attempting to prepare for a similar, simple but effective, event."

Pacific Crisis Fundraiser will take place from March 16 - April 10 and everyone is offering at least 1 item at 100% donation (some others at 50%). The place is already packed with all the well known brands and some more (I heard 300 stores registered so far!) to the point they are adding a 2nd row of vendors above the 1st one! It's gonna be ginormous and hopefully we'll raise a lot of Lindens!

You can find Statique. exclusive HOPE necklace, along with 5 other regular products already available in store (50% goes to PCF) straight at the entrance... I was lucky enough to arrive as they were setting the 2nd row of vendors so I'm comfortably installed straight above Peqe and The Secret Store. You have no excuse not to find me!

You will recognize the little bird from the Spring ring on the HOPE necklace... I wanted an exclusive item for the event and thought it would be appropriate to use my little friend and his flower as a symbol of hope for Japan's future.

Visit Pacific Crisis Fundraiser, starting Wednesday!

C'est l'euphorie!

E U P H O R I A sim is announcing their Hunt #2, starting today at 12 SLT! And if you were already in their group, you got the news before everyone else and had the opportunity to grab their stuff before it turns into a major lagfest (it was already laggy when I teleported out).

Unfortunately, most of the items offered weren't that fantastic (but eh, it's free) even if some big names are taking part of the event (Fishy Strawberry, The Secret Store, Donna Flora, Milk Motion and more) but I found some fun stuff.

That hat from Donna Flora is not your everyday outfit, but it made me laugh so hard! I love it!

Look

Skin : CheerNo Femme - Dahlia2 Light (EUPHORIA hunt)

Dress : sYs - Euphora Hunt dress (EUPHORIA hunt)
Hat : Donna Flora - Jennifer Hat in Black (EUPHORIA hunt)
Shoes : Kookie - Athena in Black

Pose : DARE - Cool Sit (EUPHORIA hunt)

Second Life saves lives.

I will let the official press release speak for itself on that one :

Fashion for Life is SL’s longest-running and most successful fashion fair. All donations go to SL Relay for Life, benefiting the American Cancer Society.

Running March 12-22 across 9 sims, this year’s theme will be “Beyond Black and White,” embodying the spirit of cancer survivors everywhere as they find hope rising out of the dark diagnosis of cancer. Spread over the sims will be over 180 stores with a hunt and gatcha areas, all with the goal of raising funds for the American Cancer Society. Fashion for Life will feature the best designers from around the globe.

Over 1,100,000L has already been raised via sponsorships and store registration. With nine sim sponsors including KMadd, SLink, House of RFyre, Nicky Ree, Bliss Couture, Evie's Closet, Falln Angels, Lapointe & Bastchild, and Woe, we expect this to be the biggest so far, with donated funds going to the American Cancer Society via their RFL program in SL.

MUCH information is available at the website, http://fashionforlifesl.com

C'est l'amour.

I must admit, I almost didn't purchase the dress shown above. Because if there's one thing I hate as much as bodylights, it's skirts with the mini prim between the legs, which moves with the AO and makes you look like you pooped a square of fabric.

So I got this dress thinking the color and pattern were divine and I could always wear it as a shirt with jeans or something. But voilà, the whole skirt is a prim! I went waaaaarrrgblll! in happiness and purchased the 2 other colors (black and tan) as well.

These gorgeous dresses from Riddle are currently available at Pure Juice Event and I can already confirm : I'm gonna wear the shizz out of them!

Pure Juice Event starts now!

I see grey people.
Walking around like regular people.
They don't know they're grey.

If - like me - you read the JuicyBlog, you already know about the Pure Juice Event, a fair pricing event which started today and is ending March 26. There is a very nice amount of products (some are exclusive to the event!) and I really enjoyed my time there. The place is a bit laggy (first day... it's busy, which explains why everything isn't rezzed on my picture) but if we survived the Skin Fair... we can survive anything, right? Pure Juice Event is very cozy and smooth even with the lag.

As usual, The Rumor has a ton of pictures, this way you can still learn about all products available while avoiding the lag.

As I'm typing this note, Gogo - who organized this event - didn't officially announced it's opening on her blog yet, but she's probably very busy in-world... I'm sure we'll get a word from her very soon.

Visit Pure Juice Event now!

It's the Skin Fair!

...and I almost missed it.


Yes, I went in fluffy slippers and mud mask... after all I was running late!

The Vanity Universe Skin Fair, 3rd edition starts tomorrow! Hope you saved some Lindens cuz there is skins to satisfied the most difficult people... myself included! I'm seriously lurking the new Fairy skin by Redgrave... but let's put this on the side for now.

Since I got an invite for Bloggersday, I was planning to go to the Skin Fair for a few hours, take the time to try all demos available and do a huuuuge report... but I forgot about that thing called Real Life and was caught into it all day. Uuuugh. So I teleported in at the last minute tonight and only had a quick overview.

Fortunately for you, plenty of bloggers are already talking about this very interesting event in a much better way than I could ever do. So I'll just go with this: to the few creators it may concern, please stop thinking we all want to look like Angelina Jolie. Play it safe when it comes to drawing the size of lips 'cuz ginormous mouths aren't as sexy as you think they are.

Besides that, I strongly recommend to have a look at the Skin Fair where you'll find very well made skins by amazing creators. All the well known brands such as Redgrave, Laqroki, LeLutka, Curio, Glam Affair, etc. are around, but you'll also discover some new - and gorgeous - faces.
