Grabbed

All content creators in SL have had to watch over their shoulders all the time to make sure their content isn't being stolen.  This is, unfortunately, useless.  People can steal easily and they do it often.  My items have been stolen and I am not even a big shop at all.  It doesn't affect me much other than making me cry and feel bad and want to quit.  For others, who make their RL incomes in SL, it can be devastating.  Most often stores are able to keep going even with the stolen items circulating because people want to support the original creator.  With the current case of Curio vs. Hush skins that isn't the case.  Hush has gone so far as to file a false copyright and get Gala's skins removed completely from the grid, giving her no chance to try and keep going.  It's appalling but it's happened before.  Because SL is all over the world, when this sort of thing happens people can't afford to fight in other countries.  This time we as a community will help the fight.

The One Voice fundraiser is here to help Gala Phoenix go to Canada and fight these false claims in court.  This international fight could set a new precedent and is extremely important to any content creator in SL and any other virtual world.  Whether you agree with Gala or not it's something you'll want to follow.  I am very tired and can't speak well on the subject but my pal Eden at Free*Style has explained things pretty well HERE with links to other information on the subject as well.  The fundraiser has some amazing items at great prices with 50%-100% of each item being donated to Gala Phoenix to help her fight this thief.  I hope you'll check it out, even if it's just to grab pretty things.

Undies in a League of Their Own

We all know League makes great products so the fact that they made great lingerie for the Vintage Fair isn't surprising; yet somehow I found my jaw dropping at how gorgeous this lingerie is!!  There are lots of ways to wear it, bloomers, plain stockings, camisole only, etc., but no matter which layers you put on it's going to look amazing.  I thought that the furniture piece from Melu Deco made a great backdrop and seeing as I am pretty much addicted to leopard print I had to use it in the photo. xD

Ploom made some fabulous pin-up style poses for the fair, one of which I am using here.  The store is well known for their hair and skins but the poses there are fabulous too, as you can see.  I put on some cute little boots from Loordes of London to add a bit of romantic toughness to the look.

I Want It Now!

I want the Platinum Hunt to start now. With Designers like Adam N Eve, Magika, League, Atomic, Pididdle, Ploom, Baiastice and more who wouldn't get a little pouty at having to wait??
Worn In Photo:
Hair: Magika
Skin: Adam N Eve
Shirt: League

In case you don't know what the Platinum Hunt is here's the 411: All items in the hunt are NEW and EXCLUSIVE and meant to show the best quality the designer has, not some last minute thrown together cast off. The items are 10L, not 0L, which I wholeheartedly approve of! The items shown in this post are NOT from the hunt! They are currently available items. The hunt doesn't start until the 8th :(

Fly Away

I set myself free and flew into the beautiful void.

May I free you too?
