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.
My blog today is dedicated to an SL friend
who just broke up with her SL boyfriend.
It takes a lot of courage to leave a relationship when
it is not working out.
So many people stay in a relationship because it is comfortable.
But just because your love tells you that they want a break
that things aren't going so well...
You have the choice to walk away as well.
You don't need to wait around for someone else to choose you...
You deserve everything that is good in this world.
Let it go, don't wait around for them,
Make the call yourself and start yourself healing.
IN MEMORY OF ALL THE LOST LIVES in Florida!!

Yes, black magic... cast a spell, sip a secret potion...
Imagine a friend of yours that you find extremely attractive and you are becoming more than just friends with them every day in every way. Each day the two of you are becoming more and more passionate and you both take more romantic and sexual action now.
I think we all ask, would it matter if I was here?
I know in my life I had the privilege of seeing just
what life would be like, for others, if I wasn't here.
But we all matter if we are important enough to be
missed if we were gone.
It does matter, it's like a rock being thrown into a pond.
The ripples go far and wide and are immeasurable.
So stop thinking it wouldn't matter and figure out how
you can make a difference.
I think everyone has the person, that you wish you could go back and
do something a little different.
Perhaps there is someone you wish you never let go of.
Sometimes you just wish you could go back, start over
make different choices.
Both beautiful and seductive, the Fairy Queen rules using a harsh and deadly hand.
She will seduce you and destroy you without a blink of an eye.
She exudes strength and her followers are forever true.
It is thought that a pot of gold can be found at the end of a rainbow,
but truth be told,
it is the elusive fairy queen behind the radiant colors.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the panel of judges
for all of the time spent on our behalf.
This has been a wonderful opportunity of growth
as a model and I will cherish the new friendships I have made along the way.
I look forward to participating in future pageants.
Thank you Miss Royalty.
