RFL Clothing fair how and why, part 7 ....................

Raven Pennyfeather has this year sponsored the Paris sim tell us why she is involved as a long term supporter of RFL and the RFL Clothing fair

I have been involved with the RFL Clothing Fair since its inception and have had the good fortune of working alongside the amazing people responsible for its development over the years.

SL has one of the highest concentration of creatives/artisans that I have ever encountered.    My art is a reflection of all that I am, and I continue to strive for improvement with each texture I make and design I craft.  It is my hope that we all continue in a spirit of tolerance and support to protect the rare environment this truly is

Cancer has touched far too many lives including those in my family as my father was diagnosed with a rare form of male breast cancer in December, 2008.  He has recently finished his rounds of treatments and is gaining strength each day.  My father has always been a formidable force.  He is a man of great courage, intellect  and strength.  To watch him battle this illness has shown me how he is a true warrior for he has had to call on all those aspects of himself and more.  I adore him, admire him and seek to honor him with this event.

Kindest Regards,

Raven Pennyfeather,
CEO House of RFyre

RFL Clothing fair how and why, part 6 ....................

Nyre Gray with her partner  Aurelius Draken of Caliber Sponsor the London Sim, her Nyre tells Breezes of her involvement and hopes for the fair and SecondLife:

Please tell our readers how you became involved in the sponsorship.

My inspiration comes from Nevar, and Ame. Although I have been involved before, their passion and insight into RFL is so inspiring I had no choice but to follow their lead. You can give... and then.. you can really give...
They have taught myself, and others how truly selfless charity is.

What are your goals for the future.

To slide into Modern Fashion, laugh, and enjoy Second Life. Life is too short.

Please tell us how you got started with your designs and such creative textures, and delightful stories on releases. 

I came to Second Life because of a friend.. he thought I might enjoy it here. At first it seemed very daunting, and then class after class... sim after sim.. that I visited I found I couldnt see enough, experience enough. I started to work in Adventure, fantasy, victorian eras..
I remember learning how to first work with prims.. and literally deleting them every five minutes.. and wanting to throw them across the room.. but.. in the end.. they finally started to listen to me those prims!

The build of your shop and the exquistite textures that make us want to enter the realm of  your world
Is there a special wish you have for the the world of Second Life

Absolutely... Find your passion, share it with others, and never allow yourself to stand alone. People are here for you, and you them.. our greatest value is not how we remember, but how we are remembered.

せりさん、こんにちわ。ガン協会のスポンサーになってくださった事を感謝いたします。


Q.世界からガンを撲滅させるためのこの素晴らしいプロジェクトにあなたが何故関わったのか教えてください。


A.去年のFantasyFairの際に、EmberやNevarと知り合いました。そしてFantasyFairのお手伝いをしました。お手伝いは、コンサートの開催や、日本の優れたお店の紹介、そして、スポンサードでした。
そして、FantasyFairが終わった後、RFL2010を手伝うようにと誘われました。
私にとってそれはとても光栄な申し出だったので、お受けしました。
日本のアンバサダーとしての労働のお手伝いと、スポンサーとしてのお手伝い、両方出来ることは私にとってとても喜ばしいことです。


私は服飾デザイナーではありません。また、何らかの製作や販売を行いません。私のSLでの仕事は、SIMの管理と運営です。


􀀀


私の仕事の上での喜びは、日本人で海外と交流したいと思っている、でもそのチャンスをもてない、優れているけど引っ込み思案な多くのクリエイターを海外に紹介することです。


彼らクリエイターが、日本以外の人々との交流を持てるようになり、また、日本以外の国の方々が、日本の文化やクリエイティングセンスに興味を持って下されば、それは私の至上の喜びです。そして、このフェアがそれにとても適した場所であることを知っています。


このフェアでは、私のおすすめするいくつかの店舗をCF TOKYO SIMに出店させました。スポンサーショップにはKWZをおきます。


彼らのエキサイティングな作品を是非楽しんでください。


I became deeply involved in this wonderful project by meeting Ember and Nevar at the FantasyFair last year. 
As a sponsor, I helped them by introducing Japanese talented designers to the world and also organized a concert during the fair.
After the FantasyFair, I was asked to help them again for RFL2010 and it was indeed an honor for me to receive such a offer so I accepted it.
I'm grateful to be in a position to contribute not only as a Japan ambassador but also a sponsor.
I'm not a fashion designer so I can't make or sell anything. My work in SL is to manage and operate my SIM.

One of my pleasure is to introduce wonderful talented Japanese creators to the world. Maybe this is the characteristics of Japanese people but they are very shy when it comes to interacting with foreigners. I make chances for them to have the opportunity to work with foreigners.
I would be very delighted if they can interact with people besides Japan and at the same time people outside of Japan become interested in our culture and understands our creative sense.
And I know this is the perfect place for it!
At this fair, I've selected few recommended shops and exhibited them in the CF TOKYO SIM.  
I've selected KWZ for the sponsor shop. Come and enjoy their exciting designs!!


Q.どのようにしてSLに興味を持ち、そしてどのようにしてガンがあなたの人生に直接関わってきたのか？


A.多くの日本人がそうであるように、わたしとSLの出会いはビジネス的なものでした。当時、働いていた会社でセカンドライフを調査するように命じられたのです。
2007年の日本では、「セカンドライフで新しいビジネスが出来る」と報道され、私以外にも沢山のビジネスマンが、セカンドライフを調査していました。
しかし多くのビジネスマンが「自分たちの望む収益を上げられない」と感じSLを去る中、私はこの世界に魅了されました。
私にとってSLは、異なるタイムゾーン、異なる世界の人間がひとつのクリエイトを共同で作り上げることができる、エキサイティングなツールだったのです。


ガンと私の戦いは、現在も続いています。
私の子宮はかって何度か腫瘍に冒されました。
幸い、それらはすべて良性でしたので、簡単な手術で治療することが出来ました。
しかし、その手術の痛みや薬の副作用、今も続く後遺症の貧血は、その後の私の人生に大きく影響しました。
私の貧血は今では腫瘍そのものよりも深刻な問題です。
わたしは普通の人のようにオフィスに通って働くことが出来なくなりました。現在の私は在宅でWeb製作や、Webマーケティング、コンサルティングを仕事にしています。会議などで短時間の外出は出来ますが、私の心臓は度重なる貧血により痛められ、長時間の外出は出来ません。
良性腫瘍を克服した私でさえ、このように人生の軌道修正を必要とするのです。癌と今現在、闘っているファイターとケアギバーに私は尊敬を禁じ得ません。


Like many Japanese residents, I became to know SL through business. At that time, I was told to do a research on SL from my company.
In 2007, Second life was widely reported in the media as "New business" in Japan so many company started to look into Second life.
While many left SL not making any profits, I still was drawn to this world.
For me Second life was a exciting tool where different time zone, different people from all over the world can collectively work together to make one creation.


Cancer entered my life as being cancer myself.
My battle still continues today.
My uterus got affected by a tumor several times. Fortunately, it was benign tumor so I was able to remove it by a surgery.
However, pain from the surgery, side-effect of medication and anemia which is postoperative sequela changed my life completely.
Now my anemia have become a serious problem rather than the tumor itself.
I can no longer go to the office and work like others. Now I'm working from home making websites, web marketing and consulting.
For limited time, I'm can leave to have meetings outside but repeated anemia have put a strain on my heart so I can't be out for long hours.
Even after I overcome my benign tumor, I needed to change my life plan. So for those who are currently fighting with cancer, I can't help respecting the fighters and caregivers. 

Q.あなたの将来の目標はなんですか？

 A.セカンドライフの目標は二つ。セカンドライフを通じ、日本のクリエイティブを海外の方に知っていただくこと。もうひとつは、セカンドライフを通じ、あらゆる世界中の無理解、誤解をなくすことです。
RLの目標は、あと3年以内に仕事を安定してこなせるようになり、虐待や貧困に苦しむ子供を2人以上養子にもらうことです。
この春、セカンドライフで出会ったすばらしい友人たちと一緒に、RLで起業します。LSL,ビルド、テクスチャ、服,WebSiteヤプログラミング、サーバー管理など、あらゆる分野のスペシャリストが集まりました。
翻訳家もいます。
是非、私達にRLやSLで仕事をください（笑）
Lemme briefly explain my future goal. Actually I have two goals. One is to let the world know about Japanese creative works through Second life.
Another is to dispel all the uncomprehensions and misconceptions around the world through Second Life.
Also my real life goal is to get my business on tract within 3years and then adopt two or more children whose been abused or suffer from poverty. 
This spring, I've made a big decision to start my own company in RL with the wonderful friends that I met through Second Life. We have people from every profession and every walk of life. For example, LSL, builder, texture, clothes, website, programmer,server administrator and translator.
Please give us jobs in RL and SL! LOL
  
あなたのお話を紹介させていただき、今年のイベントでの貴方の大成功を祈っております。
間違いなくすばらしいもになり、貴方のデザインを見るのがたのしみです＾＾。

どうもありがとう。

RFL Clothing fair how and why, part 4 ....................

Breezes Babii talks to Aradhana Voight sponsor of the New Delhi sim at the clothing fair:

Bree: Please tell our readers how you became involved in the sponsorship.

Aradhana: Being an participant at earlier versions of relay for life i stayed in contact with Nevar. I sympathize with his cause and offer my help when needed.
When Nevar was mentioning this years theme for the Relay for Life i was more than excited to be part of his idea this year to represent the Indian themed sim New Delhi. i was happy to hear that he wanted to include Indian fashion into Relay for Life

Bree: What are your goals for the future.

Aradhana: One of my goals off course is to participate in the next Relay for Life.
My main goal is to be the starting point for shoppers that are looking for Indian or Indian-inspired designs. I like to broaden my scope and dress avatars from head to toe. That is one of the reasons why I started my skin line, another reason is that i like the challenge to use new skills for designing items for SL.

Bree: We all strive to make this the very best Clothing Fair and want to show your designs to the fullest possible extent. Please tell us how you got started with your designs and such creative textures, and delightful stories on releases.

Aradhana: Mashooka means female lover or muse in Hindi. I choose this word to describe the feeling i wanted for my clothing. Something sensual beautiful and elegant. I started because i was looking for fashionable Indian clothing which were not available in 2006. I had a very clear idea about the look i wanted to have in SL. I made my avi’s shape and was reaching a specific style. So i decided to give myself an unique look and started to learn about designing. After my SL friends convinced me to sell these Indian clothes. Thats’s how Mashooka Designs started.
I get my inspiration for textures from what i see in RL, when i shop or watch an Indian movie. When I think of a name for a design, i imagine how and where someone would wear my design. That get the story started which i sometimes publish on my blog (www.mashookadesigns.com) or in the store.

Bree: The build of your shop and the exquistite textures that make us want to enter the realm of  your world
Is there a special wish you have for the the world of Second Life

Aradhana: I wish that SL will stay the platform for virtual worlds. I makes a great meeting point for people all over the world, and i like the idea that you can use this medium to make new friends for life.And what i find special about SL is that people also bring the SL into RL by support each other in RL too, like Nevar.

RFL Clothing fair how and why, part 3 ....................

Luna Not only sponsored a sim but also Built the Milan sim with her representation of the Galleria, one of the most striking builds at the RFL clothing fair this year, here Luna tells us how she got involved:


My involvment with the Clothing Fair comes after the one with Relay For Life. 
In my first days in Second Life I discovered by chance about this organization  through clothes I bought, and I just loved the idea to have the opportunity to give my little contribute to the Cancer research, and in general to use a gaming tool, like SL, for something so important for all the human beings.
Then when I started designing clothes it came natural to keep this connection hosting RFL vendors in my shop.
On october 2009 I eventually have realized the project to build my sim, Fantavatar, and during the inauguration of it I have met two wonderful people: Nevar Lobo and Amethyst Starostin. A while after we first met they contacted me and asked if I would have been willing to collaborate to the Clothing Fair, building the Milan sim, I did accept enthusiastically this opportunity to actively participate in a great event as it is.
The Clothing Fair is a great event under many aspects, it gives chance to clothes designers to promote their works and their skills, to meet other designers and exchange creative ideas, gives chance to people loving the fashion field to be updated in what is going on at the moment, gives chance to socialize through the many related events that will happen during the Fair - but most of all, again, gives the chance to all of us to contribute to something so vital for everyone like the Cancer Research.
I have been so lucky to never been directly involved in this diseases in real life, but  it doesnt need to be under an hurricane to know hurricanes are better to be avoided, and if it there is a chance that it can be done - avoiding it - then it is a good idea to support those that are trying to find a cure, and help those that are trying to fight it back every day. 
The Clothing Fair will be a great fun event aimed to a good cause, my hopes is that these kind of events aswell as the number of people supporting them in anyway - from organizing, building or just attending - will grow exponentially in Second Life, and I am just glad to be one of them.

RFL Clothing fair how and why, part 2 ....................

The RFL Clothing fair is a big event in any SL calender and, getting involved more and more each year, I see how much hard work and dedication go into this event.
Much is accomplished by builders, organisers, designers, models and many many more BUT none of it would be possible without the help of the people who sponsor this event and each day I would like to give each of them the opportunity to tell us why they feel the way they do about this event in particular, what motivates them and what they hope to achieve.
Breezes asked each to answer a few of those questions and the replies are varied and interesting I hope they inspire you as much as they do me. Dana


Constanza Amsterdam From Slapt.me sponsors of the Rio Sim:


My wishes for the Fair are to raise even more awerness then we did last year and that everyone involved has a great week.


In February 2008 i lost a very close friend to me to cancer in SL after having to fight hard against it and also in RL in my family we are fighting against this horrible disease. Then via a friend in SL (Nyte Vargas) i found out about the clothing fair and as i am also a designer i decided to join in last years event (2009).


This experience was awesome and it kinda makes you addicted to the Clothing Fair as a designer to get and stay involved as you fight together to help raise awarness for this cause all over the world.


I joined SL in nov 2006 after reading about it in a PC Magazine here in The Netherlands. Together with a close friend ( who started SL a week after me) i started a club and soon we both started designin clothing and we split ways. In 2007 i met my SL/RL Husband and we decided together to quit SL for a year and in 2008 we came back and i picked up my designin again under the name i had in 2006: Eye-Catcher. In 2009 right after the Clothing Fair my husband, me and 2 close friends started with http://slapt.me/market/index.php which is an alternative to XstreetSL and after the message from Nevar we decided to become a sim sponsor with slapt.me for the RFL Clothing Fair as this is a really good way to show how important this is to me, but also to the other owners (Lord Sullivan, Kosta Cela, Bykoff Sontze and me) of slapt.me


slapt.me is now the fastest growing independent marketplace where SL merchants and shoppers have the freedom to shop, chat on the forum, have fun and keep up to date with SL trends and info, and has an ever growing community who've discovered the delights of being slapt!


And so are both JariCat Fashions ( the new store name since 2010) and http://slapt.me involved in the RFL Clothing Fair 2010.

RFL Clothing fair how and why, part 1 ....................

The RFL Clothing fair is a big event in any SL calender and, getting involved more and more each year, I see how much hard work and dedication go into this event.
Much is accomplished by builders, organisers, designers, models and many many more BUT none of it would be possible without the help of the people who sponsor this event and each day I would like to give each of them the opportunity to tell us why they feel the way they do about this event in particular, what motivates them and what they hope to achieve.
Breezes asked each to answer a few of those questions and the replies are varied and interesting I hope they inspire you as much as they do me. Dana

I will start with the Centre sim sponsors Lightning Video:


Arabella Cinquetti & Chiman Fassbinder

Chiman and myself got involved with Relay for Life because we have had cancer touch each of our lives, Chiman lost a child a few years back and it has been a real struggle even now to face. I had skin cancer in 2003 and in 2008 diagonised with ovarian cancer.

Chiman and I came to second life for kind of the same reasons, he was healing from the death of his child and I was still healing and dealing with the after results of my  first chemo and couldnt leave the house, and there was second life. Chiman and I met the first day I landed in world and have been inseperable since. While in Secondlife and real life there are always instances and situations that pull us in different directions we have always been each others rock we lean on.  In that time we started several business, Lightening Video, Sinful Pleasures, Fantasy and Cf Furnishings, we continue to grow and learn and hope that while we do we have fun, because ultimately everyone needs to have an outlet and second life is ours. Our passion is Relay for Life.

Nevar came into our life when he was promoting a event for RFL, and needed donations and lets say the rest is history. We were so excited and Chiman and I were right on board, we know what cancer can do and hoped what we would contribute could make a difference in someones life.  Whenever we are needed we will be there for Relay and Nevar, he has become near and dear to our heart. We never met someone so selfless in a cause and couldnt help but want to help ease his burden if just a little bit with whatever we could.

Nevar on a personal note, When i was going through Chemo for my ovarian cancer late last year he was there for me personally. He would message me and know just when i needed someone to lean on, and gave me the support and guidance that was a god send. He will never know just how much that meant to me. That kind of caring only comes from someone very special.

I hope that for the future that Relay will  continue to prosper and grow, I hope for Nevar that he will continue to do the things he does because without people like him, this would not be a reality.  I wish for the people who participate in these events for such a great cause that this will become their passion. I know Chiman and myself will not stop participating or doing whatever we can til there is a cure. Because this is what its all about, this is not about anything else except to help raise money for the one thing that eludes us all, A cure for a deadly disease that I know in my heart will have a cure and will no longer plague anyones life or family and the great losses of such amazing people will come to an end.

Builders wanted

Regent Estates has been asked to sponsor and build the New York build sim for the 2010 Clothing Fair benefitting Relay for Life.

There will be 9 sims in total, with the theme of " Fashion Cities of the World". It is our job to build, in full, the NYC sim. The Clothing Fair will play host to 130 of the top clothing designers from across Second Life.

There are 8 amazing cities and one United Nations, all coming together for one great cause. New York is one of these important sims and we are honored and thrilled to have been asked to participate in this great project.

The sim will be based on many of the current builds in our New York NYC, which has gained notoriety over the years for its tribute to the World Trade Center Towers and the tragedy of 9/11. Voted best Memorial in Second Life, we are honored to be able to give back to another worthy cause, the Relay for Life.

Included in the sim you will see the Lady herself, The Statue of Liberty, as well as the New York Library. Among other buildings planned are the Empire State Building and the famous Flatiron Building.

You may be asking yourself "why is Melody going into all this?" Well, I will say that our builders were so honored to be asked to be a part of this we couldn’t say no. But that is not the only reason: we decided to come to the community itself, and offer a way for some of you great builders to join in this worthy cause with us.

We are looking for 10 builders to join us in this endeavor. We want to offer a way for you, as a builder, not only to give back, but also to get your work out and seen by THOUSANDS of people over a 10 day period.

If you would like to be a part of this project, please continue for more information on what we need:

• NYC skyscraper style buildings
• Exterior footprint of 25x25M
• Interior space of 15 m deep x 25 m wide x 20m tall
• Minimum height of 70m
• Maximum height of 200m
• 200 prims or less (The fewer the better!!)
• No textures over 512x512 (256x256 is preferred)
• Mega prims are allowed but must be phantom
• Single front entrance
• Only the main floor must be functional – IE, no multiple floors needed
• Nothing scripted
• Completed build in a building rezzor (one can be provided if needed)
• Minimal sculpty use, if at all
• Must provide the finished build copy/mod to Melody Regent and the Relay for Life manager (to be named later)
• Interior must remain flat and neutral in color
• A full permissions copy of your logo or ‘name plate’ to be used for promotional use.

All builds must be turned in no later than January 30th. The sooner we get them, the better. You may replicate a RL building or come up with your own design. You are welcome to turn in as many entries as you wish, we will accept only the best of the designs for the limited space available.

When you turn in the build, please include a folder labeled “NYC Clothing Fair – (your name)”. In the folder we will need a copy/mod version of the building in a building rezzor, a landmark to your store/location (if available), Company logo and a notecard with any information you feel we need or about you and your company.

We will be announcing the names and store locations of all the builders that we use to the forums, in Prim Perfect and to our New York group with over 6000 members. You will also get a sign outside the build that honors you as the contributor.

We also have some ‘filler’ places available that need to be built. These are simple builds that will have nothing inside them. They are merely for looks and there to fill the space between buildings. If you want to contribute to these as well, please contact Melody Regent directly for more information.

We are thrilled to be involved in this worthy cause and to have you join us. If you have any questions at all, please send detailed questions to Melody Regent in world or email to MelodyRegent@gmail.com

Thank you again

Sim Builders Wanted for the 2010 Clothing Fair benefiting Relay for LIfe

The Clothing Fair is in planning and we have over 130 clothing designers this year all coming together to raise money for Relay for Life 2010. This project will consit of a 9 sim build with the theme "Fashion cities of the world".

We are looking for experienced builders who take the utmost pride in their work. Our goal, as the builders, is to create structures that are not only true to the architectural style of each city we have chosen , but will stand long as examples of our dedication and love for creating an art form others will enjoy. 

This requires not only fine building skills, but the ability to work well with texture creation and application as well. While there are countless off-the-shelf textures that come close, a majority of the buildings we create require custom made textures. As such, the experience of working with programs such as Paint Shop Pro or GIMP2 ( or any other program that allows for alpha channels) is very important for Clothing Fair  builders.

We are looking for builders  who are intrested in building full sim recreations of the following cities: New York, Melbourne, Rio de Janero, London, Paris, New Delhi, and Milan. There will be an over all theme and direction for the build but creativity and skill of our builders is also important.

 If you wish to be considered for this amazing event please send your notecard to Nevar Lobo or dana Vanmoer. All notecards should include, your name and example of your work ... including LM of builds. 

This is a volunteer position as money raised from this event goes to Relay for Life. Event will take place in March.

We look forward to hearing from you please send all applications before Nov 15th
