Okay, my SL bod isn’t that voluptuous and my skin is pale (sorry Malibu Barbie, but I did go blonde!), but wasn’t diversity the point of the movie Barbie? I LOVE Kennedy Fairlane’s creation because who doesn’t want to be a Barbie? It’s a limited edition piece and you’ll find it at Rock Your Rack 2023. Presented by Models Giving Back Rock Your Rack is an annual fundraising event combining the best of SL Music, Art, Dance, and Fashion to support the work of breast cancer charities and raise awareness for early detection which is critical to a positive outcome for this devastating disease.
Of course, it’s pink. Barbiecore lives on! I escaped my box and now I’m a real Barbie.
The limited edition includes all accessories including the shoes as seen above. There’s more too! Rock Your Rack 2023 opens on Friday, Sep 29, 2023!
Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women. 13% of women, and an every increasing percentage of men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. There is currently no known cure for breast cancer, and its early diagnosis is critical to survival.

About Models Giving Back
Models Giving Back is an agency of professional, certified SecondLife models who give of their time and talents to raise funds for legitimate and verified SL and RL charities.
Models Giving Back was founded in October of 2012 by Jamee Sandalwood after a previous agency dedicated to charity work was forced to close due to the owner leaving SecondLife. Jamee felt the work that was being done needed to be continued and set out to lead the models that were already a part of the former agency into new and bigger endeavors at the newly created Models Giving Back.
To date the agency has partnered with dozens of designers and provided models for runway, print and other functions that support charities around SL.
Rock Your Rack is the creation of Jamee Sandalwood and is owned exclusively by Models Giving Back in SecondLife.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor, Janelle Hail. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1980 at the age of 34. At the time of her diagnosis, there was little information about the disease, and she was forced to make a decision about her health with few options. After her treatment, Janelle made a commitment to help women around the world by educating them about breast cancer and the importance of early detection. NBCF’s mission is to save lives through early detection and to provide mammograms for those in need. This mission includes increasing awareness through education, providing diagnostic breast care services for those in need, and providing nurturing support services.

I have my eye on leopard print because I see it everywhere! At first, I thought it was a homage to 1989 Taylor’s Version and her delicious portrayal of an unhinged woman, but quickly realized the world doesn’t revolve around Taylor (it should). Regardless, PurpleMoon is back! I’m glad to see one of my all-time favorite designers coming back into the fold. You can find this outfit with a variety of patterns and colors at Designer Showcase!
