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

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.

Update - News, Michael Feinstein & Cheyenne Jackson

OK, I have been a bit MIA here on the blog as I get ready for the parents 50th Anniversary surprise party. I am working on a video/slide show I thought would be 4 or 5 minutes that has turned into a 14 minute short film - LOL. I have been working on scanning the pictures, culling through cabinets of them, picking out music that is appropriate for them, not me... The surprise party is on Saturday afternoon on the 29th, a full two weeks before the actual date, so we might really surprise them. Hopefully that will be under control soon, and I can be back to internet fun!



Meanwhile, I wanted to take the opportunity to welcome follower Steve A to the blog. Steve has his own blog called Long Haired Boy, which can be found here. I can identify with Steve when he writes that he sometimes is social, and sometimes antisocial. I tend to just say sometimes I don't like people. Stop by and see the blog, it is quite nice! Also, thanks to everyone who comes here, the blog is approaching 8,200 hits, which is just so surprising to me. I never would have thought anyone would be interested in the musings of a 50ish gay man rambling about music that didn't involve Cher, Celine or Whitney. And also several of the artists featured here have been very kind, stopping by to comment or Tweeting me some appreciation. That list includes Derek Nicoletto [of Telling On Trixie], Casey Stratton, Aiden James, Christopher Dallman, Jimmy Adams and Angel Adams. If I forgot anyone, sorry - been working on about 3-4 hours sleep a night.

In other noteworthy news, After Elton reports Cheyenne Jackson and Michael Feinstein are heading to the studio to record an album together. I was very excited to hear they worked together in NYC, playing at Feinstein's at Lowe's Regency. In June, they performed a show called The Power Of Two, and by the time I heard about it, tickets were sold out. I first saw him on Braodway in 1988 in concert, called Isn't It Romantic, and again in 1990, in Piano And Voice. Feinstein has released 23 albums, and I have 18 of them. I am a freak, I can't help it. And I find him to be very hot.





OF course, my appreciation of Cheyenne is well-documented on this blog (click here), but I will do a quick recap - he is gorgeous, tall, handsome, charismatic, and beautiful. So put the two together, and I was weeping I couldn't get a ticket. So when this album is released, I am so there!



You can find out more about Michael Feinstein at his website, and Cheyenne Jackson at his website.

Thank you So Much

See what happens when you aren't looking? This has been a busy week, from the passing of a horse to seeing Jay Brannan sing live, to having a Music Notes spot on David Dust's blog, and I haven't really noticed a couple of milestones for me and this blog.













First, we are fast approaching 1,000 views on the counter, something that surprises me very much. I started the blog on June 9th, and the counter didn't go up until the 14th, so this has occurred in the last month. I would never have expected to think people would be interested in my silly ramblings about music, especially when the focus was on the gay indie scene I love so dearly.

Second, thank you to everyone who has decided to 'follow' the blog. Seems as though I blinked and am now up to 21, up from the 12 I figured I was lucky to have. So, to Joni, Kimberly, Linda, Eric, David, Maddie, Miss Ginger, Bob, Joy, Wonder Man, Nancy, Sam, Behrmark, gracjc, Derek, Kailyn, Beth, Jennie, John, Eric Arvin and Michael Rivers, thank you so much for the support.

And, to dear TrannyBeth, thank you for poking me until I tried this blogging thing. And to David thank you for your support and suggestions to make it better.

I am constantly amazed at the far-reaching effect of the internet, as my little blog is not only has been read by people across the US, but in the last 24 hours has had readers from Belgium, Slovenia, Columbia, Australia, the Philippines, Thailand, Germany, Japan, Canada and Spain, a fact I know thanks to the Feedjit widget that keeps me more fascinated than it should. Most do not leave any comment, but it is nice to be read nonetheless.

And I just wanted to say a thanks to a few of the artists who have taken the time to send me a comment either on the blog, via Twitter, or in email. So thank you, Derek Nicoletto [whose own blog, Mo Derek, is quite amusing] Tom Goss, Jake Walden, Aiden James, Eric & The Adams [Jimmy Adams is hysterical on Twitter], Christopher Dallman, and Travis Howard, who I couldn't tell if he was more amused that I blogged about him, or that I used the title 'Str8 Boys Need Love Too', as well as Gene Dante's PR guy, Noel.

Well, to keep this from sounding like it is a total acceptance speech for an Academy Award, I was happy to get some good news. Eric & The Adams have traveled to Nashville and are recording, hopefully to have something out late this year, or early next. Daniel Cartier is also recording, and hopes to get something out soon. Tom Goss is working on the DVD of the show I went to in DC, and hopes to have it available for sale in the coming months. JR Richards is ready to release a video for A Beautiful End, the first song from his CD of the same name, and Aiden James is getting ready to release his first music video next month. And this morning, Tom Goss was excited to announce his preparation for an all-day kickball tournament, and Travis Howard tweeted that he gave himself a drunken haircut last night.

Yes, I am full of information. Or at least, full of something. And I hope you enjoyed the little photo-recap of the blog thus far. Again, my thanks.

WOW! What a week!

Last night saw the end of a week of celebrations, parties every night from some amazing DJ's; Dakota Christensen, BCreative Wilde and our own amazing Qwark Allen and to end it all a live concert from Labgraal, more pictures can be seen in the EVENTS section.
Later today I will finish uploading all the pictures from the week of events into my Flickr HERE.
We have shown 7 artists and photographers in our gallery; Attila Fetge, Tom1 moonites, Neuron Bandit (Physche Designs), Memories by Mystique Sassoon, Cienega Soon and yesterday Rag Randt.
We had Newbie, Tiny, Trance and Wild west parties. Masterclasses in sculpty making from 10 Goosson of M&M creations plus How to make Machinima with Ariella Languish plus we heard Nazz Lane reading from his novel on the beach. Plus all the people that went to a huge effort to set up the fair for you to enjoy.
WOW! What a week!
We gave away over 90,000L$s worth of prizes to the winners of our contests in a star studded glittering ceremony and all I can say is
WOW! What a week!

I would like to personally thank each and every person that has made this week special but there are a few that have really gone above and beyond to help organise this week and they deserve credit for that.
There are 3 very special people at Skybeam estates that have choked me up with the amount of effort they have personally gone to to make this week the success it has been Nevar Lobo, Amethyst Starostin and Charlene Trudeau I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the help you have given me.
All of our crew have been a huge help Bree, Bixyl and Nazz but I have to say Gemma Cleanslate and her Partner Qwark have been awesome, taking over most nights when parties went on late and we were all but collapsing from exhaustion, they took over and did an amazing job - Thank you both.
I also wish to thank Wilder PR, Annette Wilder and Mahala Bing who did so much to let people know across the WWW and the grid it would not have been the success it was without them!
One more person I have to Thank personally may come as a bit of a surprise, because it was to me, and that was Frolic Mills of Best of SL Magazine, not only was his team amazing but he personally oversaw the whole show to make it work in a very short time - when I shouted 'HELP!' Frolic was there and came to the rescue :) Thank you!
Now we have the cleanup to get started :) And I better stop before I started blubbing over my keyboard. So once again Thank you all and WOW! What a week!
Dana
