13th 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 we have an amazing SIM sponsor: Playdolls Magazine. Playdolls Magazine and Mansion have supported the event over the years and we are very happy to have them with the event again this year!

This year’s sponsors include The Best of SL, BOSLArts, Chef’s House, Classy N Sassy, Cobalt Island, Dark Star Radio, Giano Properties, Kultivate Arts, Perverts of the Carribean, The Fae Folk , XRadio and WIC Foods.

Thank you to our Media sponsors as well for getting the word out: BOSL Magazine, Grid Affairs, Hostcrate, Media SL, ModeLS Magazine, SL Educate Record Social Magazine, SUGAR, The SL Enquirer, The Biology club, Provocateur Magazine, and EyeWatch Inworld News.

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 60+ different designer booths and 30+ 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 26, 2025 at 12:00 am SLT and will close at 11:59 pm SLT on Sunday, October 5, 2025.

Together we can make a difference!

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.

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.

Wake me up when September ends

My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me.
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating.
Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me.
‘Til then, I walk alone…

I can’t resist a Green Day shoutout.

I got my invitation to the lunatic ball

Sometimes I’m in a room where I don’t belong
And the house is on fire and there’s no alarm
And the walls are melting too
How about you?
I’ve never been the favorite, thought I’d seen it all
‘Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball
And my friends are comin’ too
How about you?
Don’t worry, it’s all just a symptom of being human
