The Mansion note states:

"The Lefevre Mansion - when a dream becomes real...
The Lefevre Mansion is the semi-public home of the Lefevre Family in Second Life, patronized by Marcus Lefevre, known as Director and CEO for RGF Estates, Master S&M Estates and Fire Island in Second Life™.
The mansion and its grounds span two regions, The Lefevre Mansion and Lefevre Mansion Park and are designed and built by Kaya Angel, creator and owner of the famed and popular Rose Theater/ Angel Manor.
The exclusively and luxury design of the mansion is exceptional in Second Life™ in this form and it`s supposed to be an expression of love and dedication to Second Life™ and it`s range of architecture, design, arts and culture.
When the plannings for the build started, Kaya told Marcus, he`s going to build him the finest mansion ever seen in Second Life™ and he truly did not exeggerate, but kept his promise. A vast of rich textured rooms with custom created elegant furnitures make this mansion an outstanding example of Second Life™ building and design.
The center and heart of the mansion certainly is the ballroom, which opens the access to the Grand Staircase. The ballroom with the flat, large glass roof and breathtaking huge chandeliers is also the entrance hall of the mansion and is surrounded by a number of rooms like the entrance hall, the office, drawing rooms, a dinner room, a media room and the open lounge. After stepping up the elegant stairs of the Grand Staircase with the glass dome, which floods the hall into a warm light, there are the upper floor rooms including a library and the private rooms of the Lefevre Family.

Happy 6th Rez Day Mr. Mills!

 

Mr. Frolic Mills celebrated his 6th rez day in a beautiful garden party surrounded by many friends and entertainment provided by DJ Sofia Diage-Goodnight, singer,  Antonio Gallaway, first official runway walk by Ms.Virtual World 2013, Ms. Natzuka Miliandrovic, followed by DJ A.F.I. and dancing on the dance floor in the garden.

I dropped into the party with my "Once Upon A Fairy Tale" wedding and events sim business partner, Emma Portilo, to a huge crowd of Frolic fans dancing to the 80's tunes Frolic likes best.  At one point Sofia Diage, Belinda Barnes, Peace Edenflower and I all grouped together for a great shot of our matching dresses, deemed the official Frolic Mills rez day party dress by us, and made by the amazing ZAARA, mesh dress AAmani.  We all survived many crashes which is a sign of a fantastic party and many guests for a fun party.  Happy 6th rez day Mr. Mills, The Best Of Second Life owner, CEO. Great party!

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.


(Mr. Frolic Mills, BOSL-at FFL)
The Relay for Life kiosk provides this information in part..."Relay For Life is the signature event of the American Cancer Society.  The Relay For Life of Second Life is the largest, most successful fundraising event in the virtual world, raising more than $1.6 million US since its first event in 2004.
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.

Addendum:  The BOSL cover and article went for 100,000.L to Zuri Lyric and the Top SL Model contest went to Beatrice Serendipity.

Ms. Frolic Mills Auctioned at Grand Auction for Autism

Did you ever wonder what Mr. Frolic Mills, BOSL CEO, would look like if he were female? Well now we know.

(Frolic Mills)
I missed most of the event but popped back in to SL just in time to see MVW Anna Sahhpire (4 hours private modeling session) go for 25K L to Hezabel Blackheart. CottonCandy Teardrop was the hostess who then announced the next "item" up for auction was none other that Ms Frolic Mills, BOSL CEO, herself (original female avatar) in a original skin, dress and styling with a one hour private styling session with Mr. Mills, up for grabs. The red dress is a one of a kind Gizza. The bidding was fierce back and forth all the way up to the winning bid by Draakje Dailey For 65K. That is about 262.40$ RL where I come from and all for a good cause. I'm not sure the total raised for the Autism benefit, but this was a great boost. It was fun to see the bidder's comments and fun of course to see Mr. Mills as a Ms. : ) I took a bunch of pics.

(He even provided a hair change to vary the look)

They were in jeopardy of losing everything, the husband had just lost his job and the mother had two chronically ill children. The information note card states, "This is where AAF comes in. 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!"

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


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.
