The 2013 Christmas Expo closes tomorrow, Sunday December 15th at 10am SLT. You have a little more time to see the beautifully decorated sims and visit all the shops before that time. I am featuring two exclusive dresses from one of the sponsors – Purple Moon. These dresses are each in a color that Poulet Koenkamp created especially for this event. The proceeds of the sales of these dresses along with two other choices all go to Relay For Life of Second Life benefiting the American Cancer Society. If you haven’t taken the opportunity to visit this event, head over to the four sims before it closes!
