BoobieBalls 2010 - A Phenomenal Fund-Raising Sucess

(NSFW due to avatar nudity)

It is safe to say that I am constantly amazed by the generosity of my friends and neighbors in Second Life.  During our BoobieBalls this year, you help raise our total donations by 250,000 Lindens!

As is always our tradition, we raise these funds as we celebrate breast health and beauty, and the lives and men and women everywhere.  We do this with fun and irreverence to be sure.  Many double entendres, much nudity, lots of laughter and joy.  But we also share stories of our friends and family who are survivors of breast cancer, or are actively fighting the disease.  Sometimes, sadly, we also share stories of those who were diagnosed too late in the progression of the disease. 

This year we had the opportunity to give hugs and good thoughts to our dear friend, Myfi Davies, who is newly diagnosed with breast cancer and having her surgery in only a couple of days.  It was a pleasure to be able to spend some time with her at the BoobieBalls, to remind her of our love, and remind those in attendance that we do all of this for our sisters and brothers, our friends, our family.

Thank you.

Second Annual BoobieBall (x2) is a HUGE Success!

There are far too many of you to thank for generosity of spirit and pocketbook to do so by name, but I send a heartfelt thanks to all of you who were able to attend our (and/or donate at) BoobieBalls! When I left the second event this afternoon, I left with the knowledge that over the last 2 days you have donated 1100.00 USD!

All of that money is heading to the Susan G. Komen Foundation via the Blogger Boobie-Thon!

Thank you, lovely Seneschelf, for being such a wonderful partner in our Second Life Boobie-Thon efforts!!



And thanks to Stormy Mefusula and Mollie Braxton, who are the Chief Boobie Officer and a fellow photo editor respectively.

The wonderful vendors with fantastical items for sale in support of Boobie-Thon will remain at the event site until October 7th. Pray do go have a look and make your purchases without delay!

Also - Don't forget to join us for the Limerick Contest on October 7th at 6:30pm SLT!!

It's BOOBIEBALL Night!!

Boobies. Cuhuangas, Breasts. TaTas. Bazooms. They are called

many things and although they come in all shapes and sizes (large,

small, saggy and perky), they have one thing in common: The ability to

develop cancer. Even though there is no cure yet, Serra Anansi and Eva

Bellambi are once again joining the annual Blogger Boobie-Thon to do

our part part to make cancer a thing of the past.

The gorgeous location for the balls.

*First BoobieBall* (for US time zones), Oct 2nd 6:30pm. This

ball is informal, come as you are! Wear pink if you like, come topless

if you dare!! This event will be held on top of a sim crossing. This

wish to step across the simline, you can use one of these two LM's

Please remember that lag is our worst enemy at events this large
and keep your attachments to the necessities. Hair, large prim skirts
and jewelry are beautiful, but we ask for the sake of this charity,
that you keep these kinds of attachments to a minimum.

If you access the advanced menu on your tool bar at the top of your
screen (ctrl + shift + alt + d) and then rendering -> info displays
-> Avatar Rendering Cost, you will see a number over your head any
number that shows red is going to cause lag for your fellow revelers.
If you remove jewelry and replace swishy hair and clothes it will
lower that number and make the event more enjoyable for everyone. We
also ask that you please remove any and all HUD devices as they do not
add to the number above, the do contribute to the sims lag.

"What time is that?" you ask.

Time for the annual Blogger Boobie-Thon.

So now is the time that my real life persona begins creating her poses for the Thon and the cameraman gets the lighting and sets ready. The real me has also volunteered some time to help Boobie-Thon organizers, too.

This will be the second year that Seneschelf, Serra Anansi, and I have supported Boobie-Thon with in world activities. Last year was such a grand success.

This year we'll be doing a bit more for the cause. An entire week of activities during the week of the Blogger Boobie-Thon, October 1-7, 2009.

The main event will showcase the limerick talent of 5 gentlemen in SL in three themed rounds. Those who wish to be judges for this contest need to send Eva Bellambi a notecard with a bid (donation) of at least L500. The top three bidders will be chosen. After the Main Event, there will be a limerick melee. Anyone desiring to enter will notify Eva Bellambi in world during the event. The winner will be determined by popular vote (Lindens donated on his/her behalf).

Men get breast cancer as well. It was a fact of which many at the ball were not aware. Thankfully the educational resources were at hand.

A Vicereine and Two Duchesses - work the dance floor for the cause.

Your Generosity Has Blown Me Away!

Serra and Eva

The Boobie Ball, hosted by Miss Serra Anansi and me, has been a HUGE success.

There will be many more pictures and the final totals along with the story tomorrow. But let me just say this. When I left the ball 45 minutes after it's scheduled end time, donations will still coming in, and the total on the board was about 230,ooo Lindens. Now that in and of itself is completely incredible!! The total will triple when we send our money to Susan G. Koman via Boobie-Thon, since Miss Serra and I are both matching your funds, and we'll have 690,000 Lindens or more than $2600.00 US.

Serra and Eva in front of the donation board, which was smokin' by the end of the ball. :-D

THANK YOU!! Thank you, friends from Caledon and Winterfell. Thank you friends from Steelhead and Antiquity, and Leaf Roller. Thank you Europans. THANKS to ALL of you for dropping by, dancing, showing off those wonderful avatarian breasts and chests, and most of all for caring enough to donate money to help save women from breast cancer.

Much love to all of you!
Eva

Boobie-Thon continues...

and the donations are coming in!

Thanks to everyone for your on-going support for Boobie-Thon and the Susan G. Koman Foundation. My typist and a couple of her friends may be found on the pages of the Thon. Perhaps a few of my readers have submitted pictures for the cause as well. ???Who Knows???

At any rate, I encourage you to visit the site, and make a donation. I also invite you to The Boobie Ball in Winterfell. It's TOMORROW at 12pm SLT in the Taure En Lor Ballroom. My sincere thanks to Miss Serra Anansi for all her work on this and to our vendors. So far generous Caledonians, Winterfallen, and some of our neighbors from Steelhead and Antiquity have donated over 14000L. (So that adds up to ~52000L by the time both Miss Serra and I match the donations. That's $200 USD. ) We know how generous you are and that more will be coming in via our kiosks in Winterfell and Caledon Loch Avie tonight and tomorrow.

BoobieThon has our advert for the Ball on the main page hoping that anyone who visits their site AND is in SL will choose to come join us.

Cheers everyone!! FEEL THOSE BOOBIES!!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

In the event that you have not realized this by now, I am a strong supporter of breast cancer prevention, research, and treatment. As well, I understand that patients and their families/caregivers need to find the solutions and support that are best for them. Throughout this month you will find articles here on my blog - from the ridiculous to the sublime - about this particular topic.

Yes - my typist is part of the Boobie-Thon blogger effort to raise money for the Susan G. Koman Foundation. Does she do this because she is an exhibitionist?

No.

She does this because it is a novel way to raise awareness as well as money in the battle against one of the top killers of women. One in eight women will develop breast cancer. It's hard to grab (pun entirely intended) and hold the attention of the populace these days, and I think this is one effort that actually gets people thinking while they enjoy the beauty that is the female form.

Another unique education and prevention group that I am fully supporting (including a magnet on my car) is Feel Your Boobies. Take time to watch their video. It's well worth it. Then check out the site.



Don't forget to donate to Boobie-Thon!! We'd love to see you on Saturday at the Boobie Ball in Winterfell where your donations will be matched by both Miss Serra and me, but if you cannot join us, due to RL commitments, please make your donation directly. The link is to your right here on the Red Rose.

Announcing the Boobie Ball to Benefit Breast Cancer Charities

Boobies. Breasts. TaTas.

They are called many things and although they come in all shapes and sizes (large, small, saggy and perky), they have one thing in common: The ability to develop cancer.

Even though there is no cure yet, the annual Blogger Boobie-Thon is doing its part to make cancer a thing of the past. As she has for the past 3 years, Her Grace of Loch Avie's human will take part in this event.

www.boobiethon.com

During the first week of October people from across the globe can submit pictures of bare and covered breasts to raise money for breast cancer causes.

Founded in 2002 by Florida blogger Robyn Pollman (www.shutterblog.com,) the Boobie-Thon has grown into a well-known event, raising tens of thousands for breast cancer and blogger-charity causes, with over 1500 people contributing pictures. The Susan G. Koman Foundation has, in the past, been the largest recipient of the funds.

Both founders and participants are hoping to generate exposure and donations for a worthy cause.

Males and females can submit pictures of their breasts. The covered boobies are featured on the free area of the site. The price of viewing the bare breasts is $50.

Come join Serra Anansi and me as we host the first ever Boobie Ball. This will be held in Winterfell at the Taure En Lor Ballroom. This is not a formal event. Please just come ready to have some fun and be generous with your Lindens.

Wear Pink if you like, and you may dance topless if you dare, in honor of the breasts and lives we are working to save.

There will be donation kiosks and vendors with items for sale. All proceeds will be donated to BoobieThon.com during their annual campaign. Miss Serra and Miss Eva will match all donations. So come see your donation to this worthy cause tripled.

Donations will be listed on the site as coming from Winterfell and Caledon's Boobie Ball.

Please contact Miss Serra or me if you have any questions.
