Em O' Lantern

I had some fun going around and finding cute Halloween items. There is the Halloween Spooktacular at Atomic Island, the Hide and Seek Sim Halloween Gatcha Event and then a Halloween Dollarbie Hunt at *ICED* (6 pumpkins hidden in the main store for 1L a piece). Those are just three of the fun Halloween theme events happening. Make sure you check all three of these out.

Wear Purple Day

Wearing Purple today can signify two different causes...honoring LGBT youngsters "who have committed suicide in recent weeks/months due to homophobic abuse in their homes and schools" or Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Both are two very important causes in my real life.

My younger brother is gay and in witnessing the discrimination that he faces daily, I personally support the awareness and this cause. By wearing purple today, it is just a stand to end the bully and discrimination against LGBT.

October is also Domestic Violence Awareness. Domestic Violence can happen to anyone, male or female, regardless of who you are. I found myself in two domestically abusive relationships, both of which I was able to leave. I usually don't share this so openly but in the spirit of raising awareness, I have decided it is important.

Today, I proudly wear purple in both RL and SL.

On Wisconsin!!!

This week Alexohol released the Wisconsin line, just in time for the big game between Ohio State and Wisconsin this past Saturday night. I've been bugging Alex for awhile now for a WI line...after all that is where I live (On a side note...I am NOT a cheese-head).

I finally got my wish.

So here is a little background: I love Alex...I've known her for as long as I've been in SL. We have been best friends/sisters. Helping her and Kylie out with Alexohol is always a blast. But she is a die hard Ohio State fan.

So in honor of her....It is only fitting that I blog the WI stuff.

Hope--Breast Cancer Awareness

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Leah McCullough created this amazing project of different pictures of individuals from across the grid in hopes of raising awareness. Each picture is so captivating.

When she announced on plurk that she was in need of individuals to pose for pictures, I couldn't turn down an opportunity since this important cause to me personally.

To view the complete project, visit http://leahmccullough.net/bca/. Also, more pictures are still being added so keep checking back for the updates.
