Haiti Relief Efforts ...

This week's release is being brought to you on a serious note. As everyone knows, there is a big call for humanitarian aid to go to Haiti to help vicitims of the devastating earthquake there. In SL, there are many designers and builders participating in an in-world effort to raise money that will go to the Red Cross and all the good work they are doing for the men, women in children in Haiti.

Chippie and I have combined our efforts to bring to you two men's, and two women's items this week, with 100% of the proceeds on the sales of all these items set to go to the Red Cross. We decided on using the theme of 2010's Chinese zodiac sign, the tiger, along with the colors red, white and blue for the shirts we made. The tiger symbolizes strength and courage, and red white and blue are found in the Haitian flag. We also used the Chinese character for 'tiger' in the men's and women's necklaces we made.

The shirts and necklaces are available seperately, but we also offered an option where we packaged them together, and discounted the combined price of both by 15%.

If you're not in the mood for one more shirt or one more accessory, there is also a donation kiosk set up by the vendors. Please donate whatever you can, as it all is good and helpful. I want to thank those who already showed their support for this campaign, and thank everyone else in advance for their generosity.

On a lighter note, I also wanted to let you know that we are in the Shoes and Accessories Hunt. This hunt is the first of its kind, and I was so extremely honored to be invited to be in this hunt! It was by invite only, which was so flattering. Be sure to take part, there are some amazing designers in it, including Hoorenbeek (which is the starting point), Iren, and many many more amazing designers. The shoes and accessories you are hunting for are for men and women, and some designers have included prizes for each, or a unisex one. The link to the blog site for the hunt is on the right of this page ;)

You can see that RGK's prize for this hunt is a women's item. Sorry guys! We just couldn't get it together in time to have one of each, as we usually like to do. I promise we'll make it up to you soon!!!!

So that's our news for this week. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and have a great time on all these hunts!
