Last Day for ONE VOICE

Well, today is the last day of ONE VOICE. I am also very happy to say that all of the SL residents involved, have managed to raise over 20K USD for Gala Phoenix's cause. It is truly amazing what we can accomplish with our virtual global community and have it translate into real life help. If we could do this on non-virtual level, I can only imagine how better our world would be... With that said, here are few more fabulous 'must have' exclusives that you'll need to grab before the event ends at 11:59 SLT this evening. Here is you LM to ONE VOICE:

Keeping Cool

It is another seriously HOT day in NYC, so I figured I would stay inside and be comforted by the air conditioning. So, I decide to login to SL and I am imagining that I am somewhere in upstate New York by a pond; being totally lazy. Maybe this weekend I can do this in RL. LOL! Anyway, I have the perfect look for such lazy warm days. Maya Levane, of Toki-Doki, has been on such a roll lately! She has been creating the most perfect mesh Summer separates. And, for Stumblebum this week, you can grab her exclusive mesh 'Mari Top'. I decided to pair this gorgeous top with Maya's mesh 'Cocoro' shorts, which come in every color imaginable!
Siddean Munro,of Slink, just answered my prayers this week and finally released a pair of mesh 'Aussi Thongs'! I have been waiting to see who would release the first pair of mesh flip-flops and Siddean did an just this! What I love most about these 'thongs', is they are created to go with her mesh feet. Yes, you do have to buy the mesh feet separate, but they are DEFINITELY worth it. I have not taken them off all Summer! She has created other sandals and shoes to go with these feet too. The thongs come with both a rigged and non-rigged mesh option.
One Voice is still going strong and we have manged the raise 20K needed for Gala Phoenix to cover her legal fees. I can't tell you how much it warms my heart to see the SL community get together and help a fellow resident, as well as amazing creator, in need. It just goes to show that with a common goal and lots of support, anything can be accomplished. Thankfully, One Voice is on until the 22nd, so please come buy a pick-up one of the many fabulous designer exclusives. For more info on One Voice and Gala's legal situation, go here:http://curioonline.org/  
Inka Mexicola, of Essences, created this stunning 'Moana' skin for One Voice. In comes in 3 skin tones and has several tattoo options. Inka's skins are quickly becoming a huge favorite of mine.
And last, but definitely not least, Truth Hawks has been creating hair like crazy again. For this post I chose his latest release, called 'Aurora'. It is rigged mesh and comes with a HUD so you change the color of the headband, I am totally in love with this long and wavy style. So, let me stop my babbling, so you can go try on some demos!

Baiastice 'Aicha'

Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice just released some gorgeous and super sexy dresses for Summer! For this post, I am wearing her 'Aicha' dress. This stunning mesh mini-dress with a plunging neckline, is a definite must for your Summer wardrobe.
Speaking of MUSTS! Izzie Button released an seriously beautiful skin exclusive, called 'Gala', for the 'ONE VOICE' fundraiser. Izzie has come quite a long way with her skins and they just keep getting better with each new release. One of the features that I love most about her skins, is that she gives you several base skins with brow and cleavage options. Then she gives you a ton of eye and lip tattoos, so you can fully customize your look to your liking!
By the way, Truth Hawks has been making tons of fabulous hair lately. I also appreciate that Truth has not gone totally mesh yet. Each release includes both mesh and non-mesh hair. As much as I love mesh, there are just certain textures that are difficult render in this medium. 'Ashlee' is a good example this. I really adore this style, especially since Truth went back to his "roots" and brought back his "streaked" option, which I have not seen in awhile. So, not only do you have a root options with this style, but a streaked option too. I know it is a lot of work, but I hope he does more of this in the future!
So, let me shut-up and give you your LMs:

ONE VOICE and MANY SUPPORTERS

Unless you have been living under a prim rock in SL, you must know about the copyright complaint and DMCA take down notice filed by Hush Darkrose (aka HUSH Skins) against Gala Phoenix (aka Curio Skins). It is fairly easy for anyone with just a bit a common sense to say, "WTF?!". Gala has been creating some of the best and most sought after skins on the grid for years. I am sure almost every SL female avi owns at least one Gala's amazing creations. So, I had found it seriously difficult to believe that a content creator of this caliber and reputable reputation, could have been guilty of such allegations. And allegations are just what they are, nothing has been proven in court yet. Unfortunately, in order for Gala to defend her name in court, it will cost quite a bit money to pay a lawyer. The fee runs a very steep 20K USD. Thankfully, many of SL's designers have come together to raise these funds for Gala, by selling exclusive creations with 50-100 percent of the proceeds going to her cause. The last time I checked, around 8K USD has been raised! By participating in this event, called 'ONE VOICE', people are not only helping Gala, but are also taking a stand. This could happen to any content creator! Once a DMCA take down is filed, a creator can no longer sell their creations n SL until a decision is made in court. For many designers in SL, the sales from their creations are their only source of  income! It is frightening how can easily one can shut down a person's store and money supply. I am confident that the community will raise what Gala needs and them some. I also give her major props for standing by her name and fighting. I wish only the best and know that they will find her innocent of these insane changes.

So, what are you waiting for? Please check out the pics and head down to the venue. Many of the designers involved are also selling there creations for this event in their main stores too. Here are your limos:
