Ahoy, ye scoundrels, scalawags, pirates and wanna-bes!  Ye'll want to be in attendance this coming Saturday for the Swashbucklers for Life's third annual WALK THE PLANK FASHION SHOW, a Relay for Life of Second Life event.  

It is co-sponsored by Black Moon Marauders, one of the most infamous pirate groups of Caledon, and Team Caledon, the Relay for Life team of the Independent State of Caledon. The show staff and models are all volunteers from the Black Moon Marauders who enjoy having fun while raising funds for the American Cancer Society.  The design houses included this year are among the top fantasy clothing designers on the grid:  Avatar Bizarre, BlakOpal, Caverna Obscura, Designs by Isaura, Evie's Closet, and Suki's Silks.


Here is a sneak peek at what you will see on the runway (er, plank):

Belle of the Fantasy Ball

I was invited to a fantasy event last weekend, The Lost Hall Ball, so I set out to find a fantastic gown for the event.  I found what I sought at Jessie Auer's !!!Quality Designs!!! in the form of the Victoria Formal Gown in a luscious dark red velvet.

The gown, in the French Renaissance style, has a gold-embroidered corset set above a luxurious skirt of draped velvet.  Peeking out below is an underskirt in a wonderfully textured gold print.  Optional sleeves and modesty panel above the bodice are available.  It's a pity the photo doesn't show the matching ankle boots, so here they are!

Hair is Alanis by Alli&Ali, and jewelry is "Only You" by Zuri.

The setting for this wonderful soiree was a long-lost ballroom on a mountain lake created by Blondbear Santiago.  We danced to the strains of music fit for the princes and princesses we were.
