ROCK YOUR RACK 2021
October 2, 2021 - October 17, 2021

9th Annual Rock Your Rack Event is on the way!

Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women. 12% of 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, Art, Dance 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 Sim Sponsor is Digital Farm Systems.  Other sponsors include  Designs by Soosy, Kultivate Music Management, LOPO District, and Rapture.  

Thank you to our Media sponsors as well for getting the word out:  BOSL, BOSLArts, E Magazine, Grid Affairs, Kultivate Magazine, M&M Radio, Media SL, ModeLS Magazine, The SL Enquirer, Unity Fashion, Virtual Arts Magazine and XRadio SL.  

This year's event will support the National Breast Cancer Foundation which provides free mammograms, education, support and early detection services to anyone in need. 

Designers will be providing limited edition creations with 100% of the sales of those items going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation along with a fine selection of the newest, exclusive and most popular designs for your shopping pleasure.  And, of course, the very popular 10L hunt will be up and running in the 55+ different designer booths and 35+ different artist booths. 

For a complete listing of events and more details on this year's event, please visit the website:  http://rockyourrack.wordpress.com 

The event officially opens to the public on Saturday, October 2, 2021 at 12:00 am SLT and will close at 11:59 pm SLT on Sunday, October 17, 2021.

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.

About the National Breast Cancer Foundation

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.

Today I am wearing orange in remembrance of all the Indigenous children that were ripped from their mother’s arms and sent to residential/ boarding school.  In those schools they were beaten, tortured, raped, and murdered.  Recently, mass graves of children have been found in Canada and the USA.  The first one had over 700 murdered children.  Our people still tell stories and have nightmares over what happen.  White people literally broke into their homes and stole their children.  They were then taken to these “schools” to be “re-education”.  In other words, white men took Indigenous children and tried to wash away their traditions, language, and beliefs.  They tried to make them white so it would be easier to take the land.  My people will never forget!
 
Today we were orange to remember every man, women, and children that was murdered due to gun violence.  Every day in the USA over 100 people die from gun violence.  That is tens of thousands of people each year.  These people should not lose their lives.  In Texas, people can carry a gun with no background check, no training, and no license.  It is disgusting.  We need better laws and people need to go through better background checks.  They should have to go through psychological exams.  We need to stop letting the NRA tell us that guns are so great.  The Second Amendment was not wrote about AK47s and nine millimeters.  The Second Amendment says, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”  In today’s world that would be the National Guard for each state.  Now don’t get me wrong, I am ok with people having guns to a point.  I understand if you live in a really bad area and you need protection.  I understand if you live in the woods and need protection.  What I do not understand is why people are so against background checks.  So today we were orange in hopes that this world will be better.

Today is a hard day for me in real life.  Today marks the 12th year that my cousin and her baby have been gone.  i remember that day like it was this day.  It happened on a Tuesday.  I miss her and the baby my family never got to meet.  Then a few years later my grandmother died.  My grandma was my world.  She meant everything to me.  So on this day I pay respects to Heather, Brodie, my Grandma, Uncle Butch, Aunt Janine, Dada, Molly, Demon, My Nana, and my Pawpaw.  I love you guys and I will see you when I get there.

On October 25, 2007 I was watching an episode of CSI:NY and saw SecondLife.  The episode was about a murder that was connected to the game.  I thought it looked pretty cool and I had nothing else to do so I looked it up.  Now here I am 13 years later still enjoying the game.  I have been involved with cheerleading, football teams, RP sims, maternity clinics, and modeling.  SL lead me to blogging which has become a passion.  It has lead me to many great people and adventures.  Shout out to my lovecake and my family for their amazingness.  They put up with my silly shit and I love'em.  I look forward to the next 13 years.  I cant wait to see how SL grows and changes.
