• A warm thank you to everyone at the SS. Galaxy-Nova Straaf, and Bill Stirling, and a big thanks to the SS Galaxy Crew for without them this event would not have been possible. Special attention must be given to our emcee DBDigital Epsilon, and our evenings DJ and prolific bidder Midnight Capalini.

• Glorious Praises go to Una Ewing, and Connie Molinaro of the Ewing Fashion Agency! If it weren’t for their hard work putting together Fashion Week, none of this would have been possible.

The evening was amazing! The SS. Galaxy is 3 sims long, so you can only imagine what they would have to offer in terms of delights. Our Art Show was held in the beautiful Nova Straaf Gallary, which was designed with as much attention as RL Galleries are. Correct lighting, proper placement of walls, and the color- a deep rich red which really showed off the play of light and shadows in the intense work of Ahz Senior. Ahz Senior is an RL artist whose work has been brought inworld, where he has launched his place in the Second Life art community and is well received. To see more of him inworld, visit the Nova Straaf Gallery on the SS Galaxy.

The Gala itself was a delightful sea of pink, and if one knows their fashion–a virtual display of Second Life’s hottest designers in pink formal wear. Even the gentleman graciously graced us with their fined tuned evening wear with pink accents.

The venue, SS Galaxy, was quite a awesome thing all on its own. One of the best kept secrets in Second Life. Where else can you find the amenities that they have to offer? A floating mini city of ballrooms, for-hire staterooms, a theater, ice rink, pool, spa, basketball, skeet shooting, skydiving, (deep breath) holodeck, cuddle garden, bars, restaurants, conference rooms, and wedding chapels.

I marveled at the fun to be had onboard when I received group announcements for Take It Or Leave It, and innertube races around the ship, if you are seriously bored, or looking for a place to call home, or have your event, look no furthur.

And lastly, I would like to thank all our guests for coming and sharing this evening. We hope to see all of you at our next party.
