Long Hot Summer

I love markets, especially food related ones so this cute little Market Day prop from Adorkable Poses was just the ticket for a casual outfit for a casual Sunday.

52 Weeks of Colour - Alice Blue

Still playing a little catch up with Part II of the 52 Weeks of Colour Challenge, but I'm hoping to be back on track by the end of the weekend.  Alice blue wasn't the easiest colour to find but then I remembered this skirt from Atomic and it was oh happy days!

More importantly, there is this little event going on at the moment that you may have heard of called Festival of Sin (c'mon admit it, you've all been and gleefully purchased your walk of shame dress :p).  Aida from Glam Affair has released a new skin for the event called Vanity and she is just as pretty and perfect as you would expect anything from Glam to be.  Ms Ewing is a master when it comes to pixels and new Glam Affair always makes me happy!  Unedited pictures of the stunning new skins are below:



There are 4 varieties of eye make up available as well as 10 different tattoo lip shades, so plenty of choice for everyone and I would highly recommend you get on your bicycle and check it out!

52 Weeks of Colour - Electric Indigo

I'm running behind, what else is new?  First week back at work is kicking my ass so I have to admit I have probably cheated a little here because that purple jacket isn't quite indigo but the collar is sort of close..right?

Extend A Helping Hand - The Queensland Flood Appeal

I am a Queenslander, this is a statement I have often made with pride, today it is with desperation, despite the fact that  I am one of the lucky ones.  I have seen some flooding in my suburb but for the most part my home is safe with only a few minor puddles in the backyard.  I have both my parents and my grandparents currently residing with me as they have had to evacuate their homes.  I have friends and family all over the state that are stranded and have lost everything.  I know people on my plurk that have loved ones that are unaccounted for and I am aware of many other Australian Second Life residents that are bracing themselves as the waters continue to rise.   My heart, along with millions of others, is breaking as our state drowns. 

As i am writing this, Queensland has now been declared a Disaster area.  Some three-quarters of the state is currently being effected in some way by rising water.  More than 100,000 homes are without power, 12 people have been confirmed dead with another 50+ missing.  More than 20,000 properties in Brisbane alone are expected to suffer major flooding by 4am tomorrow morning as the Brisbane river continues to overflow, engulfing all in it's path and that is only one of a handful of scenarios being seen around this state.  More concerning is that most of these people are not covered for flooding by insurance as insurance companies, since 1974, have not offered it as an option.

We are desperate and we need your help.  Sanura Sakai, along with dozens of very generous vendors, has put together the Extend A Helping Hand Market to raise money for the Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal, all funds donated to this appeal will be going to help the victims of the Queensland Flood Disaster.   There are some truly wonderful items available, many of them exclusive to the event, such as the gorgeous dress I am wearing in the above picture.   So please, dig deep if you can and if you can't, please keep us in your thoughts as we prepare for the worst.
