What a weekend that was!

Posted on by

On Saturday night we celebrated Christmas in July at Club Cutlass with Dusk Griswold providing the tunes and we raised about L$134k. This breaks the previous Club Cutlass record for RFL of L$104k set a little over a year ago, also with Duskl Griswold spinning. And the answer to the other teams is, NO she is OURS 🙂

Our current toal is L$2,100,718 and climbing:)

On the campsite front--things are falling into place. It is going to be spectacular indeed!

Thanks to EVERYONE who has made our Redheaded PASSION so visible this year!

Rocking With Yahshvah Shinja

Posted on by


Last night the Passionate Redheads were host to TWO angels! Yahshvah Shinja dropped in over at SoCO and blew us away with his harmonica and keyboard. He generously donated all tips to the kiosks.

Just when I didn't think it could get any better, Ariel Zehetbauer, a member of the team and owner of Sensual Nights Ladies' Club, paid a visit to our kiosk, matching all contributions for the concert!

Our team's total for this one hour concert was just under L$30,000; that's over $100! What a night!

Thank you Ariel, what a beautiful Redhead you are!

Thank you Yahshvah, for such a wonderful concert and a successful fundraiser for the Passionate Redheads!

Yours in Service,

Sabine

WOW!

While I was away you all raised over L$200,000 -- maybe I should leave again LOL

Couldn't do that though, with relay coming so soon. Thanks to Sabine I could see pictures of our events while I was away, including the beautiful RenFaire organized by Rita Mariner. Merci Rita!

Now on to the present! We had a fabulous weekend with two major events.

On Friday Kendal Timeless arranged a wonderful 3 hour John Prine Tribute Show benefiting RFL via our team -- well you know who we are 😉

On Saturday Cancer Piers arranged for a number of wonderful live performers to entertain and help us raise funds to to fund cancer research. The performers were, give or take a crash or two: 1pm Bara Jonson, 2pm NEwbawn Easterwood, 3pm Quinton Whitman, 4pm Shannon Oherlihy, 5pm Nick Northman, 6pm DW Swashbuckler and 7pm Nate Easterwood


During one of the performer crashes a bunch of us got up on the stage with guitars -- including our "Kitty for a Week," Daaneth Kivioq!

Thanks so very much to Kendal, Cancer and their helpers for superb holiday weekend events!

We had a BALL! And the SILENT AUCTION continues…

Posted on by

We had a ball yesterday--actually two of 'em. Many thanks to all who participated, but especially to Leala Spire, Monette Gaea, that intrepid wolf, Shockwave Yareach and the lingerie models for all their hard work:) Well done!

Who is that masked man?

Due to several requests, the SILENT AUCTION remains open for your bids until 9am SLT tomorrow! We have some hot dates and several incredible items. Check your bids!

RenFaire!

Posted on by


Samara is on a Romantic European vacation! We're praying for her safe journey, and a happy homecoming.

The Passionate Redheads RenFaire kicked off with the band, Slave Girls Rock, and rock we did!

A beautifully dressed crowd of Lords and Ladies graced the Southern Colorado Sim, which had been transformed by into a virtual Rennaisance Faire for this event. We had expected to be partying there all weekend long, but Second Life had other plans. An unexpected maintenance issue forced us off the sim so many times, the RenFaire was eventually cancelled by Saturday afternoon.

In the time we were there we enjoyed roasting a few Redheads to raise money for Relay, and some of us sold kisses for Lindens! The little shoppes set up by Team Members were a big hit, and we eventually raised over L$10,000, no small feat!

Thanks to all who worked so hard on this project, especially Rita and Shocky. We came away with new friends and lots of good ideas for next year!

Go Redheads! Three more weeks til we Relay!

Yours in Service,

Sabine

We miss you Fimi!

And we celebrated your life yesterday with a genuine Blowout Event held at Park Galleries. We raised L$15,000 for RFL and remembered how much fun you were and how much we missed you. DJs Dusk Griswold, Monette Gaea and Shockwave Yareach provided varied and excellent music for us as we danced the afternoon away:)


And per usual for a Passionate Redheads' event, we had the unusual -- a dancing horse who also rides carousels -- our own Alexandra Mensing.

Thanks to everyone who came and contributed both to the kiosks and to a wonderful time!

The Park Galleries Limo Service

In Memory of … Lachlan Campbell

Service for Lachlan Campbell, May 2 at Hope Gardens, Southern Colorado

On May 2, 2009 we gathered at Hope Gardens at Southern Colorado to remember our friend, Lachlan Campbell. Presiding over the service was the Rev. Gareth Janus of the Anglican Cathedral here in Second Life. Speaking were Marissa Goodliffe and Ren Stonecutter. It was a very moving event organized by us in support of Marissa and Lach's SL friends. Thanks to all that attended, but especially to the Rev. Janus, whose quiet dignity gave us the opportunity to remember reflectively.

Marissa speaking

May the road rise to meet you,
may the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again -
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

More Goodies in Our RFL Store

New stuff keeps coming in at our Passionate Redheads RFL Store in Sacre Bleu.

We have clothes, wonderful pink fur avatars, magic crystals and fountains, jewelry, art.. and did I say clothes?
The newest dress is in the center of the picture. It's Danielle Harrop's Pirate Formal. I have to tell you that this dress wears and moves beautifully and the top provides a close-fitting contrast to the bustle and full length striped skirt.

I flanked the newness with two of hyasynth Tiramisu's contributions to our team store. From ~silent sparrow~ on the left is the Valerian Suit in Rose. As always hya has provided more pieces than you can wear at the same time, creating several outfits in one. And no corners are cut--just look at the texturing inside the coat skirt! Valerian is also available in Green at our store. On the right is Nephilim in Candy. This is a bit racier, although I have choosen to wear more of the corset pieces than necessary 😉 My shoes for both of hya's outfits are Shiny Things hyasynths of course, worn in Black.

AnnaH Whitfield has also added her Redhead RFL outfit to the store so get yer pixels over there for some shopping for the cause!

Thank You Frogg, Jaycatt, Lomgren and Luskwood! GO RELAY!

The RFL Benefit Concert at Luskwood was not only superb musically and well-attended, including MamaP Beerbaum and a number of Passionate Redheads, BUT

Of the First Dueling DJs RFL Benefit sponsored by The Passionate Redheads RFL Team.:)

Three fabulous [and very different] DJs inspired us to dancing and contributing heights yesterday afternoon at the gorgeous Southern Colorado sim. We raised almost L$15,000 for Relay and generally had a fabulous time! This places our team total so far at L$1,1o4,881 --well done Redheads and friends 🙂


And the winner! LilTank Thibedeau:) Congrats to 'Tank and heartfelt thanks to Jaxx & Drezz as well as all of you who came to cheer the duel on!

Watch this space for the next round:)

Dressing for Relay Events… Lag in Style!

Posted on by

I didn't think I'd be letting my fashion blog spill over to here, but it seems that we all have the question as to what we should wear to a RFL Event, especially a PASSIONATE REDHEAD one such as the Duel of the DJs this Sunday. 😉


So here are two answers:) First the loyal, lower prim version... my Passionate Redheads t-shirt [If you need one of these just ask!] I wear the "male" version cause it has the logo on the front and the team name on the back. With the shirt I am wearing a little black prim skirt. Mine was a group gift from Mischief that I tinted black. Leggings are the Orange ones from the Earth Set from :: M * A * ii * K * I. Shoes are new ones from House of Nyla, Crocodile Pumps in Red. The beads pick up the black in the other items. Hair is by !Lamb, Bang Bang in Dark Carrot, made to benefit Toast Bard of Tableau. Skin is Tuli's Meredith in Captivating Copper, Pale. You could go with slacks rather than the skirt and choose shoes without beads, but, except for Relay itself, this is a relatively low lag outfit. Plus you show your "colors" as a Passionate Redhead 😉


I don't know where to begin with this outfit. It is the Handfasting Gown from Rebel Hope Designs donated to Passionate Redheads for us to help raise money for RFL. Thank you so much Rebel 🙂

It is a stunning gown, with many options for sleeves and skirts. I choose the version that continues the gold embroidery down the front of the gown. The whole look is worthy of the fanciest RFL ball. The skirt moves beautifully promising many a happy waltz. My jewelry is Dexter Bachman's Vines set, hair is the new Sarah from ETD in Auburn and my skin is from Curio, Sugarplum in Lumine. Now we just need to arrange for a ball 🙂

You can purchase Rebel's beautiful gown either at her store at Monarch Bay or in our own Passionate Redheads store in Sacre Bleu. Yes we have a store! More about that shortly!

I hope you haven't minded this small excursion outside Relay proper, but, for the ladies "what to wear" IS important. You want to support your team and both of these outfits do so in different ways.

Toga! Toga! We had fun and raised 5k for RFL!

Posted on by


Thanks to Redheads Jahman Ochs, Trixie Bumbo and Monette Gaea we were treated to a marvelous Toga Party on Tuesday last. Monette spinned appropriate tunage and all in attendance were toga-errific!

"Best in Toga" was won by our Redhead hedgehog, TomasMcConnell Sands, whose sartorial splendor blinded us all 😉 Unfortunately I didn't get a good picture so you'll have to take my word. Then in true Redhead fashion, Thomas put his winnings into the nearest RFL kiosk-ours of course!

Thanks to the folks at The Bottom Line! It was a nice silly break in a serious season.
