We did it, but it's note over yet!

As you may have read it here, yesterday I was thrilled by announcing that we have done it! We have raised enough money to help Shir!

The goal was achieved really fast, faster than I ever thought! And it didn't gave us (me, Annyka Bekkers, Dove Swanson and Flutter Memel) time to do all the ideas we had in mind!

Annyka, inspired by the inspired by the success and fun of last year's Another Fundraiser, decided to share her Blowpop Tuesday skins with a diverse and eclectic group of SLers. The result was a whole lot of hot sticky makeup love.

As the goal was already achieved, but everyone has made a brilliant job in the make-ups, they are now available at 100Limite, a small and cozy place offered by the sweet Cat Magellan, and all the proceeds will now revert for Relay for Life.

I'll share the picture of my own make-up! I hope you like it and have fun! We surely did, while trying to do cool make-ups :)

Thank you all for helping! For the hope and messages of love! For the hugs and shoulders when we need it! For caring about our friend Shir! For supporting and donating lindens, items or just love! Thank you all! Today I am proud of being part of this community!

Luv,
Ann

Laura *Limited Heart of Love Edition*

During this whole process of trying to help my friend Shir, with the Heart of Love fundraise (all about it here, here and here) I've met a lot of amazing people, all of them willing to help us helping her! To all of you, a very special hug! I am proud of being part of this community!

Now for the release of today! I've done a Limited Edition of one of my probably best sellers: Laura. I've made it in *cherry* and I really like it! I've changed a bit the belt, and instead of having a cherry belt we have a silver belt with a cherry buckle.

Grab this Limited Edition here!

All proceeds in this outfit will revert to the Heart of Love fundraise, and the outfit will be gone once we are done with it!

There are donation boxes all over the grid, so if you want to donate something, you can find them here or here, and in a lot of other places!

Thank you for helping!

Special New Releases

Hey you! Today I have some good and bad news! I'll start with good ones, but it's important you'll read the complete post! Thank you :) Ok, the news is that I have some releases for ya! New poseballs for groups available in George 5!

Here are some pictures:

When I was young, me and my girls, we used to go to my place, dress some old clothes and put some make up, high heels and take some photos! Fun photos! Good days! Well, this is what this pose means... girls having fun!

Confidences is inspired in those moments when you were younger and you sit on your mother's knees and tell her about the boys and your problems! LoL well I did it! And this is kind of a "sweet memory".

Last but not least, this new poseball called girlfriends shows what being a girlfriend means. Girlfriends always support each other! No matter what happens, how is comes or how hard is to deal with it! And this will take me to the bad news of the day!

My close friend Shir Dryke, that you may know from Ornamental Life Store and Blog, is having serious health issues and she needs money to get a new heart! You can read everything here but me and some other girls (Annyka Bekkers, Dove Swanson and Flutter Memel), we are trying to raise some money to help her get this heart! The problem is that we need around 700kL$ and we only have 3 weeks!

Part of the proceeds of this poseballs will go to an avatar created specificly to raise money to Shir. Please help her by buying this poseballs! If you want to help in any other way, there are some donation boxes in my store at George 5 and at Shir's store. You can also help her by getting things at her store! If you have any idea, suggestion or want to help in any other way, please IM me, drop me a notecard or contact me by e-mail!

Thank you all for reading and helping!
Ann

PS - Last night, while doing the ads, we also took some decent and fun pictures! What is work without fun? Here is one of the pictures, using one of the new poseballs!

Retirement SALE

Hey lovelies!

Some of you may know that *AnnaH* will rebrand to a new name! With a new name comes a new store too and obvious new clothes!

Since I think some of my old stuff doesn't reflect me and my new style, knowledgment or criativity I've decided to retire some items! Also, I'll need space for new stuff :)

So, in George 5, you can find a retirement sale in the second floor, in a wall with various panels saying RETIREMENT SALE. Women dresses are L$50, man stuff is L$25, single poses are L$15 and posepacks are L$120. Only the ones in *that* specific wall. Retirement SALE also at XstreetSL.com!

Here are *some* of the girls outfits in retirement sale:

Don't forget that all the rest of my collection is still in 50% off sale, so grab them all before I end the sale!

Luv, Ann

PS - I hate how SL is f*cking up with me! Some stuff were set to L$50 but SL changed it, so if you pay more than L$50 for something in the girls retirement wall, please IM me! I'll try to contact you all today afternoon, but if I don't do it, then IM me! Also, if you paid with store card will be harder for me to find you! The ads with green background for girls are only L$50.

Hey guys! Quick note to announce the winner of the Flickr Contest for December 2008.

Luv,
Ann

Another Letter...

Another non-fashion related post! Skip it, if you don't feel like reading! Sorry for disturbing!

Here we are... with the end of the year approaching fast, and this time my letter (as promised here) is not going to be a "thank you for being part of my life letter", 'cuz I think I've thank you all during Christmas Season (if I did not thank you, then please IM me saying "what about me?"). Today it's about wishes and hopes! The hope I carry with me for the new year, and the hope I want you to carry too!

For this new year I wish you all health, love, and hapiness! I wish you strenght and courage to seek and fight for all your dreams! Obviously, I wish the same for me!

Now, taking the risk of sound greedy, I hope much more than that.

First of all, I hope people to understand what Second Life is. After reading this article from Prad Prathivi, I recognize I will stop trying to explain, and just share the link, 'cuz it's very well explained! It is obvious for me that some of my friends and family don't understand what do I do in Second Life (even my boyfriend who knows it well, disagree from Prad), and I believe they even make comments about it. Well, stop it! Read it, try it, learn it and then you can talk about it!

Then, I want to realize some dreams in my life! I have a lot of personal goals to achieve during this year (I mean a LOT), and though they may seem too ambitious, I want to have strenght enough to fight for them! One of my ambitious is to take *AnnaH* for a new level - but you'll hear more about it soon! If you have dreams and hopes, then stand up and fight for it! 2009 may be your year! I know I want it to be my, and I'll certainly will fight for it!

My last hope for the new year is about love and friendship! I have no doubt that if it wasn't for friends, life would be meaningless, so my hope is to keep everyone of you near me. Plus, I want to make new friends! I mean true friends, not just being on each others list!

True friends care about you; They can listen to you in good and bad times; They help you succeed or just give you their shoulder; They have to be capable of saying things you don't want to hear, and when they do, you will probably agree with them; They can make you cry or they can cry with you! They can make you laugh, laugh with you, or laugh at you! They can just be there, and you know you can count on them.

My hope is to keep you all in my life!

Wishes of a Happy 2009, when all your dreams come true!

<3

So, what can you find in my bag:

• my big black bag;
  
• a black scarf that goes with almost everything;
  
• two cell phones;
  
• a purse, which is bigger than it sould be - the big challenged would be empty my purse;
  
• two pens and a pencil;
  
• two packs of tissues;
  
• sunglasses, 'cuz I never go out with them;
  
• glasses, 'cuz I *should* wear them always;
  
• make up: lip stick, lip gloss, eye mask, and multi colour eye shadow;
  
• and a small bag with my camera in it.
  

It's not that bad ;)
