Since Sensis is in downtown L.A. we are surrounded by the hoopla for the Michael Jackson memorial service tomorrow, July 7th.  None of us won tickets to the actual memorial service at Staples Center; however, thanks to WeeWorld our WeeMees will be able to show their love and support.

If you loved Farrah Fawcett you’re also in luck.  For 200 points/40 cents your WeeMee can don the feathered hairstyle she made famous.

Check out the below article from Virtual Worlds News dated July 1, 2009:

WeeWorld, home of the increasingly popular MeeWee portable avatar and virtual world (there have been 29 million MeeWee avatars created since the app launched in 2007), has created Farrah Fawcett gear to honor the actress. The company has also created Michael Jackson gear.

Created in their memory, according to a company rep, Farrah’s legacy lives on in her signature mountain of hair, which will set a MeeWee back 200 points, or 40 cents. Michael Jackson, who passed away the same day, can also be memorialized via a “I [heart] MJ” placard one’s MeeWee can tote. That is being offered at no charge.

The move by WeeWorld is a powerful reminder how quickly the online world reacts to real world events. The items just launched, so it’s too early to have a sense of adoption. WeeWorld reps tell us, however, that the MJ placard is a more popular item out of the gate.
