~BBW~

Well if we want to technical it would be BBA.

Now be honest...who is scratching their chin wondering what BBW stands for? For those that don't know, it stands for 'Big Beautiful Woman' (some say Buxom Beautiful, Big Buxom...etc etc). So often we see blogs with all the pictures with what is apparently the SL version of a model. Stick thin, no hips, legs from here to Timbucktoo and ether no boobs, or huge ones. I'm not one to judge on what is right or wrong with our avatar looks, each to their own opinions. I also know there are a few blogs scattered around that feature the larger sizes. So in carrying on from my previous post about the Wear Gray blog reviews. I kept a couple aside for a BBW post.

You can still have curves and a chunky butt in SL and look good in the latest fashions.

Wear Gray is full of colour

Wear Gray Market is up and running and I'm late with my blog reviews ..... eeps. But I have good reason! As most of you would know I have helping Sanura with the set up and organisation of Wear Gray, along with - doing my own releases for my store, participating in hunts, setting up my own store at Wear Gray and being a blogger for Wear Gray. Can anyone say bite more than you can chew? But it's all worth it in the end.

Now Wear Gray for a Day in Second Life was started by Sanura Snowpaw last year after the tragic passing of her RL cousin to brain cancer. Sanura heard about Wear Gray in RL and wanted to do something in SL to help the cause. This year she decided to go BIG. With a full sim wide Market with over 100 creators all joining together to create exclusive items, with all proceeds going towards the charity organisation 'The American Brain Tumor Association'.

Wear Gray for a Day isn't just about the colour gray. This post sure proves that. Our brains are sometimes referred to as 'Gray Matter'. So the play on words - Wear Gray for a Day - doesn't mean everything has to be gray. The designers were asked to make a couple of exclusive items that are only going to be available at the Wear Gray Market and it was great to see lots of colour flourishing the sim. I was lucky enough to have a few blog reviews passed my way. So enjoy the colour festivities, pop over to the Market when you can and show your support. Every little linden makes a difference.

Wear Gray Market 20L Hunt

Having an early access to the Wear Gray Market meant I was able to do a bit of hunting before the crowds. I was pleasantly pleased with all my little goodies from the hunt. And happy with myself that I picked up about 40 new items to wear.....but also that each one of those items I purchased - the proceeds are going to the Wear Gray Fundraiser. I lost track of how many stores actually had ribbons in them, so there's quite a few. But to help you they have signs up advertising that a hunt ribbon, or ribbons, can be found inside their booth.
