As Lion Jonesford, creator and owner of LionSkins, says, “Something BIIIIIG is about to emerge

from the jungle…! Will you be ready???”

We can only assume she is busy designing another stunning skin line to be launched soon, which will be an exciting event for certain. Lion promises details will come in the near future.

But this impending launch means good luck for all of us, because Lion has drastically reduced prices on some top lines, just in time for Christmas!

And the prices are unbelievable.

“Cana” skins for L$300!

 

“Yin” skins in the “Dark” shades for L$400!

 

“Yang” skins in the “Fair” shades for L$300!

 

ALL OTHER SKIN LINES REDUCED TO L$300!!!

This is an amazing event, and one you shouldn’t miss. LionSkins are among the most coveted on the grid, so hurry down to the LionSkins main store and grab yours while these sale prices are in effect!

I adore the summer, dont you? It makes me feel good, and it always puts a smile on my face.

When I was at Mimikri I saw a cute little summer dress called “Blossom.” I fell so totally in love with this dress that I had to share it with you. I noticed that Mimikri also had a very nice bikini in her shop, and, well, a girl cant have enough bikini’s!

Makeover Magic

SL Cancer Survivors and SL Cancer Caregivers are working together with the FACES Creative Team and a host of talented designers, who have kindly agreed to donate items, to sponsor makeovers for a group of selected survivors and caregivers. The results will be shown at a fashion show on the American Cancer Society island at 11 a.m. on Sunday, June 7 – which is National Cancer Survivors Day.

11am SLT @ http://slurl.com/secondlife/American%20Cancer%20Society/177/40/22

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last year’s fashion show was held on November 2 to coincide with the official unveiling of the makeover of the American Cancer Society sim. Five cancer survivors modeled their new outfits alongside their fashion mentors. The outfits were kindly donated by leading hair, clothing, skin, shape, shoe and jewelry designers in SL.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For 2009, members of the Caregivers group have also been included. Through these makeovers, our goal is to honor and pamper inworld cancer survivors and caregivers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Fashion Show will be hosted by FACES at ACS Island.and will feature the new looks of the chosen participants walking the runway with their model/mentors, showing off designs donated from this program’s supporters. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘Makeover Magic’ is the Second Life equivalent of a real life program, ‘Look Good…Feel Better’ – a free, community-based service in the USA that helps cancer survivors to restore their appearance and self-image during treatment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ‘Look Good…Feel Better’ program in real life was founded and developed in 1989 by the Personal Care Products Council, a charitable organization supported by the cosmetic industry, in cooperation with the American Cancer Society and the National Cosmetology Association (NCA).

National Cancer Survivors Day is the world’s largest cancer survivor event and is held annually in hundreds of communities throughout the world on the first Sunday in June. It is a symbolic event to demonstrate that life after a cancer diagnosis can be a reality. Please join us in support and celebration at this unique event!
