The Boobiethon in SL fights Breast Cancer!

The Boobiethon in SL starts with a gala tonight. Tops may come off - for charity

Second Life boobs will have a little more gravity this week! Led by Eva Bellambi and Sera Anansi, the community of Winterfell is again this year organizing a series of fundraising events to benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation to raise breast cancer awareness. The events are in coordination with the 9th annual Blogger Boobiethon, which October 1st and runs through October 7th.

Opening festivities begin tonight with a party at Miss Bellambi's home (castle really!) and the opening of a fantastic art auction (I've caught a peek, and yes, the art is stunning!) organized by PJ Trenton and Autopilot Poppy. In addition to work by the organizers, contributing artists include some of SL's biggest names, including: Tricia Aferdita, Miso Susanowa, Ragamuffin Kips, Fuschia Nightfire, Eliza Wierwight, Scottius Polke,. Sledge Roffo, Monty Streusel, GM Nikolaidis, Callipygian Christensen, Gracie Kendal, Ghosty Kips, Gleman Jun, Cee Edman, Winter Nightfire, and Weston Graves. Details of the event can be found on PJ Trenton's blog.

Add captionThe Art Auction features stunning unique works.

Other events include a Gypsy Caravan and Carnival, educational lectures (including one by yours truly on the history of undergarments - come along in your favourite corset or underpants!), and a closing night Burlesque show!
