Rik Riel's weekly round-up of upcoming SL events...
If you avatar's clothing inventory is looking a bit bare and you want to do your part in the fight against cancer, come shop for a cause at the Relay for Life Clothing Fair which runs until March 23.
Hosted by the group Relay's Raiders, with sims donated by the Rezzable Group, this
event brings together an amazing 84 fashion designers
to raise money for the American Cancer Society. You'll find everything from neko wear to goth to ballgowns to cyberpunk -- something for even the more eccentric avatars you know. Besides shopping, there's live music concerts, dancing and a scavenger hunt, all in a lovely, densely wooded, winter forest in the sim Rezzable Discover (click here to teleport.)
Also Coming Up This Week: Bohemian artsy folk tunes, an international human rights defender opens a new center, tax help for the procrastinating avatar, laughing to combat MS, getting down to business in SL, and tea time! All that, and much more after the jump...
