Listen

 I loved these headphones from the fun guys at 22769 for The Mens Dept.  With several colors and designs on the headphones to choose from, I chose the Seafoam Peens - those aren't musical notes, guys!

Time to Breathe

The holidays are over, and it's time to relax, take a breath and pull on a comfy sweater.  I popped into The Dressing Room Fusion, which is all new as of yesterday.  This mesh sweater by Ricielli intrigued me.  Casual, slouchy, and non symmetrical items in Second Life take extra artistry and skill, in my opinion.  At 70 Lindens for a fatpack of colors, this sweater is a clear win.

Also from The Dressing Room Fusion is this lightly freckled skin for us gingers from Akeruka.  I've admired Akeruka skins before, but I must say - this is my favorite to date.  I hope there are more makeup options in a full release at the main store.  I will be paying a visit.

Culture Shock - It's What the Doctor Ordered

I couldn't be more proud to be chosen as an official blogger for a charitable event.  Culture Shock, a CHIC Management event with 180 participating merchants, is running from tomorrow, May 4th to May 26th.  Culture Shock benefits Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières for the second year in a row.  A brief perusal of their web site gives you a sense of the critical humanitarian aid this organization provides, even in mortally dangerous conditions for the volunteers.  Send a prayer their way with your donation.

I'm not on many blogging lists - I usually buy what I blog, and that's fine with me.  Ayla and I blog whatever suits our fancy.  Many of the merchants associated with Culture Shock have provided review copies so that we bloggers get their name out there and generate some buzz for this event.  All good marketing, and I'm glad to do my part.  I'll put an asterisk in the credits for review copies, and I'll be making a Linden dollar donation to the cause as well.

I don't think I have to tell you how awesome the dress, scarf and skin are, not to mention the pose.  Here's the credits:
