52 Weeks of Colour - Deep Pink by Ayla

Pink is my favourite colour!  Here I am grooving on down at the disco wearing a pink Tres Blah corset dress (as a top) and my brand new One Bad Pixel skinny leathers (I won a fat pack for guessing the guess the designers contest) in white.  The shoes are R2 Nohea, I think I picked them up at Collabor88 at some point and my hair is a new release from Shag, available at Culture Shock, and lastly my glasses are from Boom.  See ya next week!

I fell asleep in the slow movement

This is something that really happened to me at a chamber music recital when I was very tired.  I was sitting in the front row, too.  In my defense, it was the second movement of a Schoenberg quartet.

52 Weeks of Color Challenge - Pueblo by Dolly

I thought this would be a cinch this week because I wear lots of brown... I kind of failed to remember many of the names of shades of browns, though, and not one thing in my inventory was called Pueblo.  So I did what I do when I can't be fussed to search my inventory - I went shopping!  I hadn't seen the latest coldLogic releases anyway.  Lo and behold!  OK, maybe the top and capris aren't exactly the dark, rich shade in Luna Jubilee's color swatch, but it's in the family, right? Turned out the closest thing to Pueblo was my Exile hair in the shade Sear from Culture Shock, and that SO counts.  Yes, it does.

Culture Shock Is OPEN!

So strip down to the bare essentials (scripts especially) and head on over!  I love this necklace by Finesmith Jewelry.  It's available only at Culture Shock, as are these so sexy heels from PiCHi.

Once you get to Culture Shock you can easily navigate around using the handy map on CHIC Management's website.

Culture Shock is a CHIC Management event sponsored by MODAVIA Productions benefiting Medicins Sans Frontieres (Doctors without Borders).  Lots of my favorite Second Life merchants (more than 180) are participating.  Each designer offers at least one (and, in lots of cases, more) exclusive and new design with 50% or 100% of the proceeds going to this worthy charity.

What Next at Culture Shock

I name this pic dorm room chic. The posters*, records and record player*, and floor cushions* chock full of animations from laptop surfing to air guitar playing, are all from What Next for Culture Shock and they're all in mesh.  The yellow cushion and the record player are donation items, and the posters are freebies!  Gorgeous work! 

Also gorgeous, if I do say so myself, are the pants* and pose* from Miamai, hair from Exile and sweet cropped top from Apple May, all also available at Culture Shock. 

Culture Shock, a CHIC Management event with 180 participating merchants, starts today and continues to May 26th. It benefits Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières

Navigating Culture Shock is easy when you use this handy guide from the CHIC Management website.

22769 at Culture Shock

Dolly is Double Exposure's official blogger for Culture Shock which opens it's doors today, and a wonderful job she's doing so far of reviewing some of the fabulous items on sale there.  I'm sneaking in with a few items from 22769 because I always blog for the guys and Dolly is run off her feet with everything else!

Here I am wearing the African Spring top along with high waist shorts and the fantastic Badu all designed especially for the event.  I added a necklace and earrings from Miel to finish off the outfit.

Also at the 22769 booth you can find these adorable mesh tube dresses in an array of beautiful, vibrant colours.  My favourite has to be the red in the middle but they are all fantastic in style and texture.

Above I am wearing the 60's styled tube dress from which sales are donated 100% to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières.  The hair is Exile's She Loves You which sets off the style era just right.

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:
