One of the more fun things to do this weekend is going on right now, so hurry and get to one of the locations to participate in Dance for the World. This is a fundraiser for CUSO, one of Canada’s largest and oldest organizations that seeks to send volunteers to troubled parts of the world and provide help. The dancing is going on in the real world as well as in Second Life, so either hop in the car or fire up your SL viewer and dust off those dancing shoes. You can join the fun at New Providence from 5-7 PM SLT, at Phat Cat’s Jazzy Blue Lounge from 7-9 PM SLT, at Diegoland from 8-10 PM SLT, and at Arsheba2 from 9-11 PM SLT. Different venues will have different events, but all will be raising funds for CUSO and will have fun contests and silent auctions and things to participate in.
For fashion fun tomorrow there’s a show by Catnip and Virus Co. The show starts at 2:00 PM SLT and will be held at Innocence.
On Sunday at 9:00 AM SLT, SL Illustrated will hold its live Calendar Girl Competition. Sunday is the first round of the finals, where the finalists will be revealed after several days of voting to reach this stage. As I understand it, Sunday’s contest will lead to a final showdown later in the month where models will battle it out for L$25,000. The contest will be held at SL Illustrated.
Yes, I know that the weekend doesn’t go all the way to the 15th, (wouldn’t that be nice though!). I love the graphic on the PunkyRomantik Fashion Show coming up on the 15th so I’m including it in my weekend preview. The show by Digit Darkes and Bianca Foulon begins at 12:00 PM SLT and is being held at ITland.
While it’s not limited to this weekend, it might be something you start this weekend; The World Society for the Protection of Animals is sponsoring a contest in Second Life to design clothing that will help promote their cause. According to a card from organizer Marissa Meltzer, “The clothing should contain some sort of reference to the charity, whether it be the charity’s logo or simply an animal- feel free to use your imagination! The more creative the better!!” They are offering L$50,000 as a prize. You can check out their in-world display here.
I’m sure I’ve missed a ton of things, please let everyone know what you have going on with the comment section below and have a great weekend!!
