BLING for a GOOD CAUSE!

I have just received the following Press Release:



Alienbear Gupte, one of the most famous and prolific designer of the finest jewelry in Second Life, has created a pair of limited edition one-of-a-kind crowns for prom king and prom queen to be auctioned off at 4 PM SL time (GMT-7) on Sunday June 22 to complete the DiS Relay for Life “RFL” prom event to benefit the American Cancer Society.

The pair of crowns are extremely detailed with baked shadows and glistening jewels, totaling over 700 prims, each prim painstakingly hand placed by the master jewelry maker Alienbear Gupte herself over the span of a week. They are to be worn on multiple attachment spots. The pair of crowns reflect the DiS RFL Prom theme of “Celestial Life,” and also that of Relay for Life. In Alienbear’s own words, “I get the inspirations from the UK Royal crowns… ‘Cross’ represent the ‘Jesus' love’. A Cross in between the flying heart just imply ‘the love of all people around the world join together to share their love to the Cancer patient & their family.’”

Designer CaSimone Aquitaine, the master builder of this immersive high school comments on the crowns, “Alienbear dedicated so much time and effort to truely make these crowns into strikingly beautiful works of arts.” Fashion Consultant and Designer Ina Centaur, also the Artistic Director of the SL Shakespeare Company, asserts that, “These are truly the most detailed crowns I have seen on Second Life.”

The DiS RFL Prom event was held 5/14 and 5/15 evenings in a totally immersive 4-island virtual simulation of a real life high school event. The high school portion of the build included a “working” high school—uncanny levels of details with dozens of classrooms each containing different academic subject posters and chalkboards, library, car shop, offices, locker rooms, and working shower and lav, and everything else. The prom was held in a giant gym spanning two island simulators, and decorated by over one hundred and eighty designers in the Designers in Seclusion “DiS” group. DiS raised close to L$200,000 this weekend, bringing the team total to nearly L$1,000,000.

The bidding begins at 4 PM on Sunday June 22. All who arrive will receive a small gift from Alienbear whether or not they are the prom king and queen to take away the crowns.
