Yula is a super adorable double bun style with a parted hairbase. It's a sexy Leia!

If you like it long and wavy, then Ruth is the style for you. It comes with a parted hairbase as well and is just gorgeous.

Content theft has always been a hot issue in Second Life with many creators either having their work stolen and resold by others, or being accused of doing that when they haven't.

Gala Phoenix (Curio) is currently in the midst of legal issues which have resulted in her content being removed from the grid and her major source of income lost pending their outcome. She is facing serious expenses in securing representation and taking her case to court, and the issues she's dealing with regarding intellectual property rights should concern anyone who makes a living from SL content creation; Gala's situation is one that any creator of original content could have the misfortune to find themselves in.

The object of this fundraiser is not only to assist Gala Phoenix but to show that the SL content creation community is stronger standing together. Participating creators will have a special or new release with a donation from its sale going to help Gala and to stand up and have their voice heard saying content theft will not be tolerated, nor will false claims.

I hope you come out and show your support for Gala and for all content creators in Second Life. It wouldn't be such a wonderful place to live (virtually) in without all of them!
