Happy 6th Anniversary BOSL -- And Other SL Events

I've been taking a few pics from fun events around SL so might as well share them here.  First I want to say happy 6th anniversary to BOSL who provides me and others with hours of great SL entertainment and information. I went to the BOSL anniversary party yesterday after the MVW challenge so the top two collages are from those, then the next is a It Girlz show from last night and the bottom is a friend's beautiful wedding from last week.

Fashion For Life-Awesome Final Events Yet To Come Today!

Visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/FFL%20Event%20Sim/128/128/10


Fashion For Life is coming to a close later today and this amazing fundraiser for Relay For Life has raised approximately $25,000 real life dollars thus far.  But Mr. Frolic Mills of BOSL just announced that he will also still be auctioning off the cover of BOSL magazine at 12 noon SLT today.  This will also include an article by editor in chief Persia Bravin.   The grand finale will all begin at 9am SLT today.  The 9 sim builds by some of SL's top artists are amazing (see prior posts for credits and names of involved).  The clothing sales and all the events have been a lot of fun. Persia Bravin has done a great job with promotion and all the organizers, bloggers, designers, and so so many people have made this a huge success.  But it's not over yet!  Hurry on over to the sim for the final day and don't miss out on this huge event for a great cause.

We invite you to join an incredible group of volunteers who donate their time, talents and energy to fight back against cancer and together we will let the community know that this disease can be beaten and press on with the fight until a cure is found.

The Best of Second Life Magazine March 2013

This month March 2013 marks the month I was featured in the BOSL magazine. Writer Sonicity Fitzroy has been featuring SL machinimists for about a year now in the publication and this month I was honored to be featured as the Social Machinimist for her article.  So I must brag and show off here of course.  Everyone knows I'm not the greatest at this around or even in their league but I do a lot, have fun, often make them for others or to archive something, and include others a lot, so I'll take the article and rejoice in it.  Soni is an amazing writer both in SL for a variety of publications and is a published author RL with numerous publications on a variety of subjects, most notably in SL for her 2 books "Second Life Media and the Other Society", and also "Machinima: The Art and Practice" (http://www.amazon.com/Machinima-The-Practice-Virtual-Filmmaking/dp/0786461713/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1362706261&sr=8-3&keywords=machinima).  So she made me look good and Morgana Nagorski, artists, photographer, gallery owner (http://www.ballaratart.com/index.php?pageID=12  and http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Gardenia%20Islands/128/128/2) took some great pics to go along with some clips from a few of my machinima for the article.  Please have a look starting at page 128 here: http://magazine.thebestofsl.com/issues/March-2013  This is such a well put together monthly SL magazine that I hope everyone is very familiar with it.  It can be easily read online at that site or via hard copies inworld.  If anyone would like a hard copy inworld just let me know and I will pass you one.  BOSL also has kiosks all over the grid to vend these free monthly publications.  They cover fashion, events, art, sims, well just about anything in SL that has public interest.  Check it out.. and now a few snips from the magazine here:

RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITY EVENT MARCH 31, 2012

March 31st, visit here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Couture%20Boulevard/33/32/3807 or direct link here: RonaldMcDonaldEventBOSLHere.
ronaldmcdonalhouse4

To see the official Ronald McDonald House web site go here: http://rmhc.org/who-we-are/our-history/ or direct link here: RonaldMcDonaldHouseHere.

For 37 years The Ronald McDonald House has been providing a stable environment to families of children in need of medical treatments. Second life residents can show their support through this event and it's hoped everyone will give generously to this world wide charity. SL is hosting a fashion show that will include one of a kind designs and other items to be auctioned. Auction boards will be open for 5 hours from the opening time to allow everyone a chance to bid.
******************************************************************
Event organizer, Michela Benazzi, had a personal experience with Ronald McDonald House services in 2009 when her 2 year old neice, Libby Claire, fell and was injured and the family utilized the RMH.

She states, "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.
http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/libbyclairemcgarity
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.

(Michela's niece Libby)
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!"
*********************************************************************
Since I'm on the blog list I received information about the auction items. There are over 40 quality items and services to bid on in addition to the "Secret Boxes" that are loaded with some amazing prizes. A few of the items for auction are as follows:

*Essential Soul X-Poser Converter 2.0 donated by Steven Dean that can be seen inworld here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Essential%20Soul%20Studio/66/132/20 or direct link here: ESHere.

Happy 4th Birthday BOSL -The Best of Second LIfe

BOSL

The Best of Second Life just had it's 4th anniversary with the magazine edition published and released today October 1st. CEO Frolic Mills whipped up a impromptu party for staff that was a lot of fun. CottonCandy Teardrop provided great tunes as the dj for us to dance to. All the BOSL magazine covers were on blocks on the giant walls in the background. I've been writing for BOSL events/society for about a year now and it's a fun organization I'm proud to be a part of. If you are not familiar with the magazine check it out in world or online. BOSL historically is known in the virtual fashion industry but it's so much more. Mr. Mills embraces all the best of Second Life as the title states and even just the section of the magazine I assist with covers everything from music, arts and entertainment, fashion, wonderful builds and sims to explore and anything cool and fun I can find to write about. Happy Birthday BOSL!

RFL BOSL Campsite-Best Camptsite Award Winners
(BOSL campsite, Frolic Mills, BOSL CEO, Irishgent Resident, Mimi Juneau, Blackbarbie Bravin)
RFL has been blogged, Flickr'd and talked about for months, actually year round in SL, as this is an annual HUGE fundraiser. But I decided to go ahead and blog it one more time since it's such an amazing fundraiser that helps so many people in real life plus they said there were over 178 people in the area of the closing ceremony. They had 24 hours of entertainment at the RFL general track area, amazing builds, inspirational volunteers and today the closing ceremony. Thank yous were made and shout outs given to the main supporters. Team campsite awards were given out.
rfl 178 ppl at closing ceremony_003
There were 42 sims and many builds on the sims and track area. BOSL won first place in one of the best campsite build categories. Most laps award went to jerrazia Lowel. (I'm sure I totally spelled that name wrong and they didn't say how many laps which I wonder about) MamaP Beerbaum and Dwen Dooly, organizers spoke along with others. There was a table onstage with an empty chair representing the lost ones. Honor was giving to their struggles and memory. The 2011 theme was "Seasons of Hope" and at the close of the ceremony it was stated 369,062 USD was raised by the close. Fantastic SL people.. who says we are just gamers... we are people with heart!

Our sole purpose is to help those that are struggling financially get through the holiday season. We have fundraisers throughout the year and raise money to be given out at the beginning of December.
We do our very best to ensure that the people we help are truly in need." There is a large Christmas fundraiser planned for This year to take place at the Patch Thibaud Auditorium at BOSL on December 19,2011 @ 4 pm slt. "Do not miss this spectacular show with gorgeous gowns by HOX. Hosted by Lacie Beningborough and Mr. Frolic Mills, this is an event that you do not want to miss!"

BOSL Browns Are in The Playoffs-Get Tickets for Sunday

SFL-Game Sunday
BOSL Browns in Club IX

Woot! The BOSL Browns are on a roll. The Browns made it to the play offs and Sunday, June 5th we were scheduled to play our first playoff game. The guys had been practising and the cheerleaders made a perfect run through of our half time routine prior to the scheduled game time then hit the sidelines to rev up the large crowd of fans that showed up. But after a short delay we were told the Browns were given the win, as the opposing team forfeited due to lack of enough players for the day. Tickets were refunded so I hope all those people get tickes for this Sunday's game. This was not our ideal way to win, but hey, we get to advance! Woot! So our next game is this coming Sunday, June 12th at 3pm SLT. Get your tickets for 500L each at the marketplace here: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Sunday-June-12th-Second-Football-League-SFL-Ticket-BOSL-Browns-vs-Valhalla-Packers/2342637 or direct link here: BOSLTicketsHere.

As a side note, sadly I won't be cheering Sunday as I have a huge RL family reunion this weekend which will be great fun, but I'll miss my team. Good luck guys, and ladies I know you'll cheer great and look amazing as always! Have fun!

Persia Bravin's Rez Day & May Costa Rica Influential Party

Persia's Rez Day Party
Sunday, May 29th I attended a party for one of SL's favorite media sweetie's, Persia Bravin! She was celebrating her selection as the May Costa Rica Influential and also her rez day. I think everyone in SL knows Persia, so I won't go on and on about all her accomplishments and tons of things she is involved in, as it's all over the web and I've mentioned her here several times before as well. I just wanted to save and post a few pics from her party here. Her Influential interview is here: http://costaricasims.com/sims-tier-prims/view-by-prims-tier/commercial-parcels/2516-costa-rica-sims-may-influential-honors-one-of-the-busiest-women-in-second-life-ms-persia-bravin.html or direct link here: PersiaHere.
Persia's Rez Day Party

The party was a smash with over 70 attendees, full at times, and constantly hopping with dj tunes by Mikee Gemini Ghost who was actually celebrating his RL birthday that day as well. It's notable Persia's actual rez day was June 1st (I think, that's close anyway). It's also notable that Blackbarbie Bravin, another of BOSL's gems who also helps run the magazine along with Persia celebrates her rez day the day after Persia, so wish them both a good one!

The beach themed party Sunday was mostly casual and swimwear at a spot in Alajuela, Costa Rica sim. Some of the many attendees were Claus Uriza, Candylicious Forster, LaPiscean Liberty, Ivy Maverick, Leila Roddenham, Dividni Shostakovich, Kikki Snowpaw, Lacy Muircastle and many others. I had a great time, but had to go RL, so I snapped some pics, wished Persia well, danced a few songs and said my hellos and goodbyes. It must be the season for BOSL rez days... see Frolic Mills post late May here: http://karasecondlife.blogspot.com/2011/05/bosl-ceofounder-frolic-mills-4th-rez.html track directly here: FrolicHere.

BOSL CEO/Founder, Frolic Mills, 4th Rez Day Party

Yesterday, May 28th, I attended the 4th rez day party for Mr. Frolic Mills. Frolic is BOSL CEO and Founder, owner of the BOSL Browns, the football team my cheer leading squad is owned by and also my boss at BOSL. The event was held at the Patch Thibaud auditorium to a crowd of over 50 and the show lineup was a list of Broadway hits.

One of the highlights for me was enjoying the talent of real life Broadway artist Tamra Hayden, known as Tamra Sands in SL, who has held lead roles in blockbusters such as Les Miserables, Cabaret, Phantom of the Opera, Fiddler On the Roof and others. I honestly was very happily surprised to learn of and hear her and kept asking myself and others around me, "Where did she come from?", as I've never seen her in SL before and her voice was so very very impressive. You can read more about her real life and there is also a SL segment including her SL performance schedule here: http://www.tamrahayden.com or direct link here: TamraHere.

Other performers included one of my favorite SL dance troupes, The Dramatiques, which I have blogged a couple of times before here. Jesse Ribeiro, also a RL musician, composer, vocalist, and producer, recently bringing his music into SL, performed as well.

Various Broadways musicals were performed at the party with props, costumes, beautiful backgrounds, dances, and music including numbers from The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Grease, The Lion King, West Side Story, Tommy, Evita and more.

The party ended with Mr. Mills, performers, and guests dancing on the stage. As expected when it involves Frolic Mills and BOSL, the party was something special in SL to remember.

Club IX


Monday night April 25th was the one year anniversary party celebration of Club Nine's opening April 26th a year ago. Owner, Umberto Giano, celebrated along with a huge crowd. There were many high quality name brand free gifts and amazing drawing prizes throughout the night. Dj's Bren Betts and Azu Catteneo kept the tunes and crowd pumping. The gogo dancers lined the bar for some eye candy and the crowd was having a blast. Umberto is my Best of Second Life boss and I've known him ever since he and I were in a video by machinimist Lowe Runo (over a year ago) that was a huge success as a spin off from The Guild's "Do You Want to Date My Avatar" -previously blogged here: http://karasecondlife.blogspot.com/2010/08/guilds-new-videolowe-runo-machinima.html direct link here: LoweHere. Monday & Thursday nights are the big nights for this club so since it's Thursday today I figured I'd put up these pics I took at the celebration. Visit my Flickr (See sidebar link) if you want to see more of the crowd and party. The crowd/dancers are geared toward the gay community, but everyone is very welcomed and there is always a huge mix in the crowd that has a lot of fun. Also to read more and see some great pics my friend Soni blogged the party as well here: http://sonicityradio.blogspot.com/ or direct link here: SoniHere.

SFL League Games -Get Your Tickets Now!


The SFL (Second Football League) was off to a great start last weekend after a somewhat lengthy pre-season. If you have been following my blog you will know that my original co-owners split and eventually disbanded following a merg. Our original team has kind of scattered to the wind but I think that was not uncommon as pre-season sorted out. The remaining 13 teams have worked hard and their time and practice should show that.




(Quick snap I took in my new "away" uniform!)

Recently I joined up with the BOSL Browns cheer squad. I actually write monthly for "The Best Of Second Life" magazine covering events and fashion... check that out here: http://www.thebosl.com/january-issue or direct link here: BOSLHere. So the BOSL Browns seems a good fit for me at this time. Plus the ladies have very classy uniforms and I'm very excited to be joining them.

Last weekend was the league opening games and Sunday even held a surprising tie between the Patriots and Packers for a sudden death ending. Some of the games, or maybe all, are televised so you can also watch online or reruns later here: http://metaversetv.com/live/ or direct link here: MetaTVHere.

This weekend game schedule:
Friday @ 6pm - SFL Stadium: Polano Chargers v. TGF Dolphins
Sat. @ 3pm - SFL Stadium: Heartland Cardinals v. GC Redskins
Sun. @ 6pm - SFL Stadium: BOSL Browns vs. DC Giants

The BOSL Browns first league game is this Sunday so be sure to get your tickets on the marketplace here:https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/SFL-Official-Ticket-BOSL-Browns-vs-Diamond-City-Giants/1845793 or direct link here: TicketsHere.

Sunday I will be dressed out in squad uniform on sideline cheering the game on with a group of cheerleaders while some of the the cheerleaders present their half time dance show they have prepared. If you want to watch the game or see me up close cheering be sure to get your tickets!
