Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women. 1 in 8 women, and an every increasing percentage of men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. There is currently no known cure for breast cancer, and its early diagnosis is critical to survival.
Models Giving Back is pleased to present Rock Your Rack, an annual fundraising event combining the best of SL Music and Fashion to support the work of breast cancer charities and raise awareness for early detection which is critical to a positive outcome for this devastating disease.
This year's 4th annual event will support the National Breast Cancer Foundation providing mammograms, education, support and early detection services to anyone in need.
The 2016 Event is all together on one sim and involves 63 designers including 9 Gold sponsors: AlaFolie, Athena Couture, Dulce Secrets, Emerald Couture, Empyrean Forge, LaVian & Co, phedora, Prism and Kultivate Magazine. Along with these designers, 14 DJ's, 11 Live Musicians, 22 2D/3D artists, and 22 models will participate in the two week long event.
Events during the fundraiser include 9 fashion shows, 11 live musical concerts, 12 DJ dance parties, a 10L Hunt, Two Silent Auction areas, an Art Exhibit organized by Kultivate magazine, Art Auction and 7Seas Fishing Tournaments. Designers will be providing exclusive creations with 100% of the sales of those items going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation along with a fine selection of the newest and most popular designs donating a percentage as well.
This year's event officially opens to the public on Saturday, October 1, 2016 at 12:00am SLT and will close at 11:59pm SLT on Sunday, October 16, 2016.
Together we can make a difference!

About Models Giving Back
Models Giving Back is an agency of professional, certified SecondLife models who give of their time and talents to raise funds for legitimate and verified SL and RL charities.
Models Giving Back was founded in October of 2012 by Jamee Sandalwood after a previous agency dedicated to charity work was forced to close due to the owner leaving SecondLife. Jamee felt the work that was being done needed to be continued and set out to lead the models that were already a part of the former agency into new and bigger endeavors at the newly created Models Giving Back.
To date the agency has partnered with dozens of designers and provided models for runway, print and other functions that support charities around SL.
Rock Your Rack is the creation of Jamee Sandalwood and is owned exclusively by Models Giving Back in SecondLife.
The National Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor, Janelle Hail. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1980 at the age of 34. At the time of her diagnosis, there was little information about the disease, and she was forced to make a decision about her health with few options. After her treatment, Janelle made a commitment to help women around the world by educating them about breast cancer and the importance of early detection. NBCF’s mission is to save lives through early detection and to provide mammograms for those in need. This mission includes increasing awareness through education, providing diagnostic breast care services for those in need, and providing nurturing support services.
The Fashion For Life committee is proud to announce the dates for Second
Life's 10th Annual Clothing Fair benefiting Relay For Life of Second
Life. This event has become a mainstay of the fashion community and we
are excited to continue the tradition with a special 10th anniversary
event. The event will open its doors on March 6th 2016 and run for 14
days, closing at 6pm SLT on March 20th.
This event began as a dream 10 years ago with 34 designers participating
all with a special reason to fund raise for Relay For Life. Since that
date, it has grown to over 180 Designers covering 10 sims and has raised
close to 20 million Linden Dollars for Relay For Life and the American
Cancer Society . To celebrate this Special Event and Milestone,
Amethyst Starostin and Nevar Lobo, the founders of the Clothing Fair in
2006, have returned to plan this amazing event.
This year is going to be a trip back in time and Celebrate the history
of the Clothing Fair (Fashion for Life). Prepare to be immersed in 10 of
the greatest sims built by some of Second Life's most talented
builders. What is the Theme you ask ? Well its : " THAT'S
ENTERTAINMENT"
We are looking forward to presenting 14 days of shopping from some of
the most dedicated designers here in Second Life. Each one is committed
to raising as much money for Relay for Life of Second Life and the
American Cancer Society as possible.
This year we are again inviting the Live Musicians and DJ's of Second
Life to join us. T1 Radio will be covering 24/ 7 through out the fair ,
fund raising and letting us all know just what can be found through out
the 10 sims.
But that is not all:
With over 150 designers, we will also offer One of A Kind Auctions,
Fashion Shows, Treasure Hunt, and a Photo Contest. Also, the fabulous
Elysium Cabaret Dance troupe will be there to perform not one but two
shows during the event.
I am a complete and utter fool for a styling challenge.
There is nothing more fun than to push yourself to a
new height.
I guess I wouldn't be modeling if I did not like the challenge of it.
I guess we are all just big kids at heart!
So here is my breakdown...minus the hours on Gimp!

Aging with grace. That is a universal question.
I wanna fight it every step of the way.
Aging sucks. It seems like such a strange concept,
and I know for me, I always thought I was invincible
when I was younger. But one accident changed all that.
I have struggled just to stay here.
So, fighting aging, you bet. It is worth not falling into oblivion.
