More music events will be featured throughout the weekend including performances by live performers JimStewart Rains, Newbawn Easterwood, and popular DJs.

Sunday will feature a charity fashion show showcasing the creative fashions of Jaimie Earst Altelier at 1pm SLT on the WOI Estate at “The Glen” (Glens na hEirean – http://slurl.com/secondlife/West%20of%20Ireland/89/112/24). The event will showcase 20 ensembles created by the designer and featuring WOI Volunteers as models. Display boards of the featured fashions will be up through out the day with all items being available for sale. Proceeds from sales that day will be donated to War Child North America.
Jaimie Earst has been a in Second Life for just one year, and has brought her real world experiences in design to reach a new realism in her fashion creations. Her “True Life Texturized” ™ exclusive technology allows realistic textures and patterns that join perfectly at the seams. Jaimie’s preferred materials are leather, latex, vinyl and PVC which she replicates realistically using several graphics processes that create an essentially three dimensional textural image of great depth and reflectivity. Her inspirations come mainly from a fantastic imagination, comics and graphic novels, and a continuous attempt to make girls feel sensual in the virtual world. Jaimie takes great pride in the designs she creates, and is constantly challenging herself with something new that will advance her designs, building on the strengths of previous works.
“We are just so blessed to have this talented designer generously share her creations and unique textures with us in support of our on going fundraising efforts,” said Fashion Show Organizer, Caledonia Skytower. “Historically we have raised over $L20,000 through individual charity fashions shows. Jaimie’s work is bright, sexy and fun – it is a new look to feature at WOI. ”
The fun wraps Sunday evening with Celtic Music and DJ “Velvet” Violet Ormenthal at Nancy’s Pub. Donations will be accepted through out the weekend to benefit War Child North America.
