ROCK YOUR RACK 2023! September 29, 2023 – October 8, 2023

11th Annual Rock Your Rack Event is on the way!

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.

Models Giving Back is pleased to present Rock Your Rack, 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.

This year’s sponsors include The Best of SL, BOSLArts, LOPO District, DBS Designs by Soosy, Digital Farm System, Playdolls, Fae Folk, Emerald Couture, Emerald Man, Coco Louis and Kultivate Music Management.

Thank you to our Media sponsors as well for getting the word out: BOSL Magazine, AAZAARD SOCIAL CLUB, Grid Affairs, Kultivate Magazine, Hostcrate, Media SL, ModeLS Magazine, The SL Enquirer, Que Rico Design, The Biology club and XRadio SL.

This year’s event will support the National Breast Cancer Foundation which provides free mammograms, education, support and early detection services to anyone in need.

Designers will be providing limited edition creations with 100% of the sales of those items going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation along with a fine selection of the newest, exclusive and most popular designs for your shopping pleasure. And, of course, the very popular 10L hunt will be up and running in the 80+ different designer booths and 35+ different artist booths.

For a complete listing of events and more details on this year’s event, please visit the website: http://rockyourrack.org

The event officially opens to the public on Friday, September 29, 2023 at 12:00 am SLT and will close at 11:59 pm SLT on Sunday, October 8, 2023.

Together we can make a difference!

About the National Breast Cancer Foundation

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 could show you incredible things…

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!

When Emma Falls in 💜

When Emma falls in love, it’s all on her face
Hangs in the air like stars in outer space
When Emma falls in love, she disappears
And we all just laugh after seein’ it all these years

When Emma falls apart, it’s when she’s alone
She takes on the pain and bears it on her own
‘Cause when Emma falls in love, she’s in it for keeps
She won’t walk away unless she knows she absolutely has to leave

The Way I Loved You

He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear, and it’s like
I couldn’t ask for anything better
He opens up my door and I get into his car
And he says, “You look beautiful tonight”
And I feel perfectly fine

But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it’s 2 a.m. and I’m cursing your name
So in love that you act insane
And that’s the way I loved you
Breaking down and coming undone
It’s a roller coaster kind of rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that’s the way I loved you
