Thank you from Starline

Dear all:

Now that the store is closed, I would like to write a few words about what we have done.

This $250,000 lindens are simple amazing. This amount of money for our children will help them a lot, I’m sure of, so you have to be proud of this.

To designers, bloggers, models, scripter, webmaster, and the rest of the sponsors like magazines, land owners, djs and everyone who had paid for the designs and made donations…. YOU ARE THE BEST! I don’t have words to thank you for your trust in me, in the project and your wonderful work. All of you have a piece of my heart and you made this my best experience in sl.

In a few days I will make the bank transaction for the ngo.

With all my love and affection,

Starline Igeria

Last Chance for Masai Mara Exclusives!

Original post by Sequoia Nightfire

This may be your final warning to run over and get these designs from some of Second Life’s most amazing designers at Masai Mara: The Solidarity Store, many which are exclusive to this event! It is rare that so many ethinicallly and geographically selective items are available in one spot so better grab now before they go poof tomorrow at midnight. So many have sung you the praises of this charity and the orphaned children it will help. So…. i will only gently remind you that you will be helping those who have so little and you will look fabulous in the process of doing so.

Sequoia has chosen the brilliant colours of the Serengeti outfit and turban by Tres Beau to close out her african continental experience. The mesh harmem pants have a wonderful hip hugging fit and the disc hoop earrings and bracelet set is a spot on match to the flow of vivid hues and patterns of the turban to the top to the pants bringing a beautiful balance and exposure of skin. What a delicious way to show off the exclusive skin Delirio from Yoa Divine Spell.

KymSara has gone a different route returning to that which is familiar, showing off how well the cocktail dress Arusha, an EXCLUSIVE from Tres Beau at Masai Mara, can bring a wild flair back to our western evening wear. What a pity this dress will not be available beyond tomorrow. Even more the reason to rush over and include it in your Tres Beau collection before it goes back to Kimmera’s closet for good. Kym ever the world traveler added Tosy Xue’s Bamboo Ensemble from WTG showing off her love of picking up the rarest beautiful items she can mix and match.

Masai Mara Molichino

Original post by Nyree Soulstar

There are some outfits I seem to reach for again and again, and nothing is quite as easy and stylish to toss on than a casual chic jumpsuit for a little bit of glam spur of the moment.  The Masai Suit by Molichino is just such a piece.  It is one of the four great new offerings in tribal inspired colors and prints from Molichino exclusively for Masai Mara.  I’m wearing the brown print , though in truth, the term brown is an understatement.  It is a lovely blend of gold, maize, black and brown, all with a luscious silken sheen.

The Masai Mara event is also enabling me to indulge in my love of ethnic hairs, including this beauty, Oscar, from Lelutka, which can be worn with or without the braid.  Finally, for a little bit of juice, I blended the golds and browns of my jumpsuit with some berry accents for a bit of color pop.

Styling:

Jumpsuit: Masai Suit Brown Print – Molichiono at Masai Mara

Hair: Oscar Hair Bournville – Lelutka

Jewelry: Safari – Finesmith

Purse: Resort Satchel Burgandy – Leverocci

The Vision: To Give Disadvantaged Children a Good Future

Original post by Nyree Soulstar

Tunza comes from the Swahili word meaning “to care for” and that is the goal of The Mama Tunza Children’s Home.  There are an estimated 1,659,000 orphans in Kenya, approximately 126 or which call The Mama Tunza Children’s Home their home, and for which the Masai Mara event has been organized.  The mission of the center is to provide a home, nourishment, and education to disadvantaged children, many of whom are orphans, many of whom are HIV positive.

Your visit to the Masai Mara Solidarity Store is shopping for a great cause, helping to spread the mission and raise funds to provide a better life for these children.  There are so many beautiful exclusives available, and even 100L helps to feed a child.  Here is just one of the lovely offerings, the Zebra Showgirl by Russh Lussh for Masai Mara.  This is an outfit you can strut your stuff in, and it carries with it the spirit of celebration.

You can help put a smile on a needy child’s face.  Mama Tunza Video Link.

THERE IS STILL TIME FOR MASAI MARA!

Original post by Genevieve Kamala

I want to remind you that MASAI MARA THE SOLIDARITY STORE  is open until September 30th, so you can still shop donating to a worthy cause in Africa.

Today I have chosen a skin and a mesh dress in three versions, wonderful feelings and amazing textures.

The skin is MASAI MARA from Ooh-la-licious Skins, there are four tones from Brown sugar, to Cocoa, to Chocolate and Espresso, in various shades of intensity. They all look magnificent and very feminine,  for once I had to add more than one close up to show you the great golden lips and skin tone in the superb cleavage.

The dress is AALIYAH  by Topazia, an elegant mesh dress where you can find both texture and leather to create a sophisticated look that comes straight from the savannah!

Remember to shop at MASAI MARA, start now your Xmas shopping at MASAI MARA!

Enjoy!

Masai Mara Roar’in Mix and Match

Original post by Nyree Soulstar

I had a roar’in good time putting together this mix and match with some wonderful designs from the generous designers of Masai Mara.  Each of these exclusives donates money to help Mama Tunza’s Childrens Home in Kenya.

To begin my “big cat” theme, is this bold tone-on-tone lion-printed Le Lion dress from Miss Darcy.  It is great as a casual mini-dress, or for layering, like I did over Nieva Kumasi’s jeans with cheetah inserts.  Also making me purr, and continuing with my theme, is the Shambala Necklace, also in Cheetah, and Leo Casandra bag with its fun iPhone in one pocket, and camera in the other.

Let’s talk hair.  If we are focused on cats, well one must have a tail, so I chose this long mesh Britney braid from EMO-tions.  One thing I have to say about EMO-tions, particularly some of their newer hairs out…they have some of the most creative hairbases.  The Britney hairbase has swept bangs tucked behind the right ear, hints at a part, then is pulled up and back, on the left side, perfect for a hair clip, like the new group gift hair brooch from Vendome and some pretty dangle earrings from the Kenya Elephants in Love set for Masai Mara.

And of course, a Masai Mara post wouldn’t be complete without a Thank You Song from the children of Mama Tunza’s you are all helping with your generous support.
