Think Pink

Pink Shirt Day started on February 26. Have you raised your voice? I don't know about you, but I was semi bullied by my next door neighbor when I was 7-12 years old. Luckily, she didn't torment me as maliciously as some kids do nowadays, but she was definitely intimidating because she would walk behind me, with her friend, and make all kinds of remarks.

Picture this. In real life, I'm super short, and I've worn glasses since I was five year old. I was like a walking cliche of the perfect kid to pick on. Luckily, and it's a strange lucky, my family didn't have a home computer until I was in high school. Because now social media allows teens to target and bully from afar, and with that convenience comes double the impact to cause harm.

If you want to show your support against bullying, stop by PurpleMoon and make a donation in exchange for a shirt.

Net proceeds from Pink Shirt Day activities and t-shirt sales benefit the CKNW Orphans’ Fund in support of Boys & Girls Clubs Anti-Bullying programs. All transactions will be published at http://purplemooncreations.blogspot.com/p/pink-shirt-day-2014.html.

A minimum donation of 10L is required,  but higher amounts are definitely appreciated.

February Stars

While I can appreciate the day after Valentine's day (discounted chocolate), I've never been a fan of February. It's just so short! 

By the way, Designer's Showcase's February collection is about to make its exit, so if you haven't had a chance to stop by....why not drop in? All designers feature items for 100L or less so you may find a treat or two or three or ten.

"time keeps rolling by..."

Designer Showcase's February round is still alive and well. Have you had a chance to pop on over?  Glitter's Lord Mesh is a partial mesh ensemble. My avi is one of those super tall avatars*, so it may just be me, but the alpha took away my tummy. I'm half machine, so it kind of works ;)



Designer Showcase is still kicking, but I'm about to drop! Just remember that it's never too late or too early to shop.

Just a minute

You know how some people say "in a New York minute?" I would never make it. Lately, I run on two speeds and that's slow and stop. Case in point, Sascha's New York ensemble is new, but not as new as it was since I got it. The mesh jacket comes in two version: one has a fur collar and the other does not. Also, New York has a nice set of system pants to go with it, but I paired the jacket with another one of Sascha's pieces (Iggy pants) because I love their textures together.



Make the most out of your time, and see what's new at Sascha's Designs! Hope you're having a lovely weekend.
