Today we meet up with Philip Nitely (astonishedgene) from Nitelys Apparel. Philip is one of our annual supporters at CharitySL.nl in action for KiKa. Today we take a closer look around the store and what motivates Philip to support CharitySL.nl in action for KiKa.
Hello Philip. It’s good to meet you. Can you tell us about yourself and Nitelys Apparel? What can people expect during a visit in the store and the sim around it?
Philip: Well my Second Life Name is Philip Nitely and my Real Life name is Philip Georgiadis. I am from Greece.
Sarrah and I own the sim and it’s the home of Woodstock Festival that we bring back to life every summer. The Woodstock Festival of 1969. We have live stages here for Live music weekly. It’s also the home of my store: Nitelys Apparel. We Support live music in SL as much as we can. We have created this place for everyone to enjoy and to relax. With yoga and massage tents. Camping spots which can be free, but without rezz rights or for rent with rezz rights, but with a prim limit. We have around 30 people staying over at our camping spots. There are also spots for Gacha stores and we also have a wedding venue where you can book your wedding and we organize everything for you.
All the landscaping on the sim is done by me and the stages are done by Sarrah. I started Nitelys Apparel because I love to create, as you can see around the store and the sim.
It’s really impressive around here. How did you hear of CharitySL.nl in action for Kika and what is your motivation to support our cause?
Philip: I heard and saw CharitySL.nl for the first time at a Together As One festival (TAO) and was excited that I could be of help there. I lost my mother from cancer and I was the one that took care of her so I did see her in all the stages of the disease. There nothing worse in my opinion from cancer and even more in kids. Children are our future so we have to try to give them one.
This is one of the reasons why I am creating a new apparel line. It’s called Nitelys Apparel FOR KiKa. There will be full outfits at the cost of 500 L$. There will be 9 outfits with a top, bottom and shoes. The full amount, 100%, will go to KiKa. This will be in my inworld store only, so that no L$ will get lost on the selling fees of the SL Marketplace.
Sounds really interesting. I am looking forward to seeing them! Are there more ways you support CharitySL.nl in action for KiKa?
Philip: Yes, there is. For about 4-5 years now, from all sales in my inworld store and on the SL Marketplace a percentage goes directly to CharitySL.nl in action for KiKa. There is also a donation vendor in the store where visitors can donate to Kika themselves. Besides that I try as much as I can to support CharitySL.nl events with gifts and apparel.
We are really thankful for that. It means a lot to us and of course to the children. Is there a message you would like to give to the visitors of CharitySL.nl in action for KiKa?
It is in our hands to make the dreams of all the children with cancer come true. We have to give them a fighting chance and a future. We can’t just look the other way!
That is a great message to share. Thank you again for your time and thank you for your amazing words.
