This is a little bit fashion, a little bit location and a lot of love for Squinternet Larnia.
I’ve mentioned the Love Donna Flora event a few times – Flat Rod and I went there and of course, my friend Cao is running her own personal auction to benefit Squinternet – but I haven’t directly blogged about this event.
When I went to this event, I was awed by the gorgeous items so many SL designers had donated to assist Squinternet in her fight against breast cancer. Her brand, Donna Flora, is one of the standbys for fashion in Second Life. It is apparent from the turnout that she is well-loved. I don’t know her personally, but I have heard so many stories about her and her battle – for a second time – that I feel compelled to blog about this event.
The link in the opening paragraph is to the Love Donna Flora blog. You can read about her, the event and even leave her a message of support. Whether you know her or not, I have no doubt that any messages she receives will help buoy her spirits as she goes through her treatments.
And now, a bit about the location. I shot the first photo at Bitcora. What drew my attention to it was that it is the homestead sim that was won by the photo contest winner from SL10B. Rather than keeping the sim to him/herself (sorry, I don’t know who the actual winner was), the owner has opened it to the public. Click the link to check it out for yourself.
The outfit, hair, shoes and even Slink nail appliers I am wearing all came from the Love Donna Flora event. The outfit (including necklace, earrings and Lola appliers for those who wear them) is part of a fat pack by Indyra Designs. To be honest, the pink (blush) isn’t my favourite colour in the set, but I wanted to match the Gos shoes. But all of the pastel shades are lovely – very feminine and soft. And I think the sign on the ice cream cart in the photo is a good motto for visiting the Love Donna Flora event – Stop me & buy one!
The amazingly sexy outfit I am wearing in the chair shots is from Gizza, also to be found at Love Donna Flora. It includes the necklace and the headpiece, as well. I just adore the ruffles and as you know, I am not above posting a shameless ass shot 😉
But what the hay…check out the front, too. This outfit just screams “girly”. I have no idea where I’ll wear it, but I guarantee I’ll find somewhere!
The Love Donna Flora event runs through this Sunday, August 11th, so please remember to stop by. As my friend Cao said, you buy clothes – probably from these designers – all the time. Go to the event, check it out and if there is anything you see you love, don’t just stop. BUY.
Remember you’ll be loving Squinternet, as well.
