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

Dress : Aoharu - Off Shoulder tunic in Red (PCF 100% donation)
Boots : Mon Tissu - Provence riding boots in Dark Brown
Necklace : Statique. - Hope necklace (PCF 100% donation)

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!

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.
