Sunday April 15th was a pretty active day for the Relay for Life. There
was live musician ax Kleene performing for charity, and a Relay Road
Rash party and racing event that I stopped at briefly. Among the events
was an afternoon of DJs playing not just for the audience but also in a
competition for the "Best DJ in SL" from 1 to 4 SL time. It wasn't just for the day. Those
who came out on top would be competing later in semifinals. Among the teams there were the Passionate Redheads. And whom better to compete for the Redheads than the head of the FCA club alliance, the owner of Club Zero Gravity, and experience from numerous clubs around Second Life: the Redheads' own DJ "Naughty" Nydia Tungsten.
TP on down and bring your friends- at The Legends Classic Rock Club - party is on the beach - jump on down! Nydia is getting ready - vote her best DJ in SL by donating to the kiosk while she plays!
The event was just outside the club, right beside the boardwalk and onto
the beach, people dancing away on the sand as the DJ spun the tunes
while dancing behind the stand. Madonna Milena was the DJ before Nydia,
whom looked a bit naughty herself with her green latex outfit. But soon
it was Nydia's turn, and friends of the "Vixen of Steel" human and
furred alike ported in to both enjoy her music and support her in the
competition. Nydia has a reputation for playing entertaining but
occasionally raunchy fare. But she kept her selection somewhat tame for
the Relay. Still, there were a few tunes that reminded people why her
KVXN Radio's slogan is "where the random tunes are … random." Among them
were, "He Had it Coming," "God is a Girl," and "Sexy Naughty Bitchy
Me."I pick all my skirts to be a little too, sexy,
Just like all of my thoughts, they always get a bit, naughty,
When I'm out with my girls, I always play a bit, bitchy,
Can't change the way I am,
sexy, naughty, bitchy me.
Throughout the hour, the crowd danced to Nydia's music and chipped in at the kiosk, a mix of avatar types and members of various Relay teams, as well as people outside the Relay coming for the music. Finally, the hour was up. Trader1 Whiplash thanked her, "Thank You Nydia. … Your Total was $L7,281." This put Nydia third among the DJs at the event in raising money, and at the end of the event, she was still in third.
Talking to Trader later on, he told me there would be two more weekends for the DJ contest, round two this weekend, round three next weekend. On May 5th, the top four of the DJs of all three weekends will compete in the semi-finals. The next day on May 6th, the top two face off at the May Day main stage.
The Passionate Redheads will be involved in another DJ event in a few days. On Tuesday April 24th, Dusk Griswold will be playing at the "Dual Decades" event at Club Cutlass.
Later on, Nydia and the Redheads headed to "Le Palais Du Soleil" in
Southern Colorado (98, 170, 51). The purpose: to give out a motorcycle
as the prize for a raffle. At locations, there was a special RFL kiosk,
one with a purple crescent, and a picture of the prize motorcycle. But
this wasn't just any motorcycle. This was a Special Edition MLCC
Majestic with the RFL logo painted on. April 15 one of the most hated days in the U.S.A. due to the fact it is the deadline to pay all TAXES, so why not give someone a great day by giving away the MLCC Majestic RFL special edition motorcycle back where it all started the Le Palais du Soliel from 4 to 6 dress ready to ride , the tunes will be provided by DJ Naughty Nydia, so come ready to have a good time.
In contrast to the DJ contest, the dress at the raffle was more formal due to the settling. Attendence for the event was light at first, the raffle taking place at the same time as a number of other Relay events. But numbers soon picked up. For almost two hours, everyone danced to more of Nydia's tunes. Then it was time to choose a winner.
Nydia Tungsten: okay lets see who the winner is
RFL of SL 2012 Official Central Networked Raffle Vendor shouts: Whoo! Well done to Skylark Lefavre You have won the raffle!
Nydia Tungsten: Heh, Skylark won!
Skylark "Strawberry Sweetkins" Lefavre, one of the Passionate Redheads team, had won the bike raffle. The raffle had brought in 4200 Lindens, bringing the total raised by the Redheads to over 40,000 Lindens. Nydia expressed her wish that the raffle had brought in more, but everyone else was pleased with the results.
As of the writing of this article, the Passionate Redheads have raised a total of 44,300 Lindens. This despite several key members being absent due to various real life problems. There are more events in store, including Dusk Griswold's DJ at Cutlass, and even a "Bid Me Human" event in the works.
