Relay, Baldie, and Some Press

As most of you know, Relay for Life wrapped up just about two weeks ago now. Not only did we meet the total of the last four years combined donations, we surpassed it! And my own team not only met the 2.5 million L$ I challenged them to, they surpassed that, too! The Designers in Seclusion team raised just over 2.9 million L$ and I could not be more proud! As promised, I am bald!

Heidi Ballinger has managed to snag a pic and put it in her article. She was a joy to talk to, and happily it was under much more pleasant circumstances than the first time I met her. (The first time I met her she was alerting me of stolen hair, which she also mentions in her article.)

And, in case you haven't seen this:



That's me. On the cover of Second Style! I'm so honored that I haven't even known what to say. I'm still not sure that I do! But that means a huge deal to me. Second Style was the first mag in-world that I ever read. Heck, it may have been the first one in SL period! But to be among the great talents that have been feature-interviewed and have graced the covers of Second Style over the years, like Nyte Calligari, Elikapeka Tiramisu, Blaze Columbia, Torrid Midnight, Launa Fauna, Stiletto Moody...it's an honor that I cannot even begin to explain.

I'm especially honored to have been included in this specific issue which also focuses on Relay for Life. It's obviously a cause that means a great deal to me and something I've devoted a lot of time and energy toward.

I've never been so nervous for any kind of interview, SL or RL, in my entire life. Thankfully Iris was awesome and by the time it was over, we were both laughing, and I was slightly less nervous. For heaven's sake...it was SECOND STYLE!

Front page of SLNN.com!

I was approached by Osiris Pfalz a few days ago for a brief interview, which I fully expected to be buried someplace in the depths of slnn.com and only a brief few sentence mention.

Imagine my surprise when I got a link from Katoria this morning and saw this on the front page!



Okay so they typo'd my name. Koi, Coi, it's the same sound, who cares!

I didn't manage to snag a screen shot of if when it was on the front page with the little lead in blurb and link, I've been way too busy with other things today.

A huge thank you to Osiris for the wonderful article. She was wonderful to chat with and I very much enjoyed meeting her.

We're in a book!

Calla has been listed in the Second Life for Dummies book as the number 2 place to get hair! We are so honored to have been included.

Haedon received the following message:

[4:42] Typewriter Tackleberry: Just a note to let you know, Sarah "Intellagirl" Robbins and I mentioned your shop in Second Life For Dummies. Thanks for bringing quality to Second Life.

I didn't know anything about it and didn't get a message from them. I'm so far behind in keeping up with the blogs that it'll be next year before I have any idea what's going on.

She goes to look, and then messages me (cause that's what we do) and I go look.

While we honestly, truly appreciate it, and are honored to have been included, there's a very huge printing error.

HAEDON WAS LEFT OUT!!!

That's like the yin without the yang, or the peanut butter without jelly, or the coffee without peppermint! It's the Lily without the Hae! You just can't!

We also got credit for Eolande's Accessories.

I've taken the liberty of making a few corrections.






Woot! That's better.

Really sincere thanks to Mr Tackleberry and Ms Robbins for all of the effort that went into this publication, it seems to be a great guide. (<3 Amazon search inside.) We're proud that Calla was chosen.

And much congratulations go out to everyone else who was included in this book! It's so exciting to see so many fabulous creators receive mention!

/me is a total geek and ordered her copy today.
