Ronald McDonald House Charity Show

Not being from mainland Europe, I wasn;t really aware of what the RMH charity was all about. But when I received a notecard inworld and read it, I knew immediately I wanted to be involved with it. I know many bloggers have already blogged this, but one more will not hurt. I will be in the show, modelling some of the beautiful creations so generously donated by SLs fab designers. Here's what its all about.......

Michela Benazzi, Miss USA 2011 is the main organiser and driver of this event, so here it what its about in her own words......



   For 37 years the Ronald McDonald House has been committed to helping families of children who are in need of more than medicine and treatments.  Providing a stable environment during hospital visits and treatments, gives children and their parents a loving approach to healing.  Our family learned the value of RMH personally, July 10, 2009.  My niece, Libby Claire not even two years of age,  took a very bad fall while on vacation.  If you would like to read the story, Caringbridge holds it all.

go to the journal and read oldest to newest.  One thing I remember from that time is the call, saying Libby may not make it.  Over time I am happy to say Libby has bloomed into quite a beautiful girl.  During the battle, RMH opened their doors, hearts, and love to her parents and siblings.  They were able to be with Libby through it all.  I will never be able to tell you what a blessing that was.  RMH will always remain precious to our family, and during the recent opening of the new Charlotte, NC RMH Libby was even asked to be a spokes model Shes appeared on billboards and a variety of advertisements.

It is by far an honor to give back to RMH in any method we can.   If you have ever had the need for RMH, you too will know they are there when you need them.  No questions asked.  That is why I would like to take this opportunity to give back.  No child should have to battle any illness or treatment alone.  That hug, touch or smile from family is healing too!

So what are we doing?

SATURDAY MARCH 31th, 11AM  SLT
BOSLs PATCH THIBAUD AUDITORIUM

There will be a charity Fashion show with several of Second Lifes top models, along with a wonderful auction.  All monies raised will go directly to the Ronald McDonald House Charity.  Direct donation boxes will also be onsite, Mementos, as well as a set of extended auction boards will be set up.

  Auction items will open directly AFTER the fashion show is closed. The show will include the one of a kind designs and many other items to be auctioned off.  Auction boards will be open for FIVE (5) hours from the opening time.    This gives everyone the opportunity to bid.    Due to rarity of the one of a kind designs, and high value of the Model McDonald Boxes,  the winners of those items will have delivery directly from the show promotions agent Michela Benazzi.


We hope you will enjoy this event and that you will give generously.  This is a world wide charity and it is our hope you will continue supporting RMH within your community for a long time!


So here is a preview of the items to be auctioned:

OK, OK I know I am bad .............

After months of Xmas, new Year and plain too much work, I've managed to find a few minutes to show you a couple of things I found while shopping this morning.

I've always liked Hucci's things, I havn;t been there for absolutely ages, but I did go in this morning. Sun was shining and Spring seemed in the air. I found these two so-cute dresses that screamed warmer times were not far away.

First, I found this adorable minidress, simply called Pink Zebra. I won;t explain why:) Cut sleeves tied at the elbow, a clinging top and miniskirt, what better way to start my tan off? I finished this off with the lovely D'Ann range, using the pumps and clutch bag just to match perfectly.

The hair is a new mesh from one of my favourite places, Wasabi Pills. This is the sweet Monique in the faiirly bright Rye shade. The makeup is from, of course, Face Paint, the soft blues and pinks of the Temptress Blue matching well.



While I was in the mood, I also found this foxy little number. The Ivana dress, also from Hucci, caught my eye immediately with its lush Wild Pink colour and sweeping, elegant style. Draped sleeves form an elegant silhouette, while the close-fitting top and skirt provide a glimpse of your ample charms. The classy NCore Coquette pumps seemed perfect for this. Sticking with the mesh hair, I wore the gorgeous Monique in the Rye shade, again from Wasabi Pills.Eve Express (Face Paint's owner) made this makeup for me, not surprisingly called "Kim" :) This is Kim #7, a delicate pale pink and purple look. Zuri Rayna makes some of the best jewellry on the grid and I chose her lovely Sunshine Elite collection with its many gem and metal options. Perfect for my spring theme:) The clutch is from Orta, the Stella in Charcoal.

Hopefully (maybe), I'll keep you up to date with things I find out there in SLs wonderful world of fashion:)
