On the 4th of June the Black and Blue Fair – Fashion for Mental Health Awareness -
will open it’s doors, or at least open it’s airspace to the public, seeing as I don’t think I actually noticed a door while there.

Keira Seerose and her team have put together an amazing event, combining space for dozens of stores all over Second Life, some familiar and some new to me brands, which makes this event a MUST ATTEND. All of the items are available only at the fair for it’s duration, but it is not only the range, but also the pricing that will have you right click buying everything in sight.

:: T HE  P U R P O S E :: Explained by Keira Seerose
The purpose of this fair is twofold… firstly, FASHION. Who doesn’t love a good fashion event? Brand new items, some at discount rates, all in one glorious place. Lovely. Secondly though, there will be information about all sorts of mental health issues and illnesses throughout the venue. Mostly these will be visual aids around the precious couture so that people don’t have to read huge chunks of text. The main purpose of the fair is to de-stigmatise mental health issues. A lot of people in Second Life have unhappy “real lives”… for whatever reason. Some of us are unwell, disabled, depressed and other people are just lonely or don’t like who they think they are; but no one is alone and in SL we can be ourselves. So don’t let it beat you black and blue… couture can help!

Whimsy and I were so impressed by this event, and did see all of the subtle ways of sharing information, such as the international crisis centre phone numbers on the wall etc. This is such a positive event, one of many that Second Life residents put on each year to help others, another reason to appreciate this Virtual World that gives so much of it’s time and heart to others.
