Culture Shock 2012 will run from May 4th to May 26th with over 175 stores participating, each will have at least one exclusive item contributing 50 to 100% to Médecins Sans Frontières.

This show-stopping gown I’m wearing is from GizzA and will be available exclusively at Culture Shock. I’ve also fallen in love with the beautiful “free as a bird” necklace from Caroline’s Jewelry which will also be available at Culture Shock.

Map and SLurls to Culture shock can be found here. Don’t forget to set your calendars for May 4th!

I was recently going through all my poses that I have dumped into one big folder named “poses” (aren’t I so organized?) to get them all in order and into the PoseAnywhere Hud (which is my new addiction) when I found a folder of these fabulous Vog poses from Status. I absolutely LOVE the attitude in this pose set and I also love that you can pick up the whole set for only L$100. Check out the Status marketplace or visit them inworld.

While I was writing the credits below and looking up all the designer’s profiles, I noticed that majority of people have their profiles wiped clean. SL keeps doing that to mine as well and then I have to go and redo it every other week. But I figured I’d point it out to y’all in case a lot of you are not on viewer 2 and might have no idea that your profiles look blank to the rest of us. One way to check is go to your profile on the web, this is mine – https://my.secondlife.com/strawberry.singh just replace my name with yours to check yours. Another good thing to check is also your privacy settings which you will need to login to get to. A few weeks ago I had to mess with my privacy settings because people were not able to see my picks and groups unless they logged in. You can set your privacy settings to however you would like them.

While you’re visiting my profile page, please if you can, also take a moment to visit my Facebook page and give me a “like” so you can follow my updates on facebook as well, I would really appreciate it. I have a tumblr where I share inspirational quotes on a daily basis that also gets automatically sent to my facebook page so you can follow all of my blogging adventures on facebook.

You can also follow me on Twitter if you’re there. Ok I’m like all over the place, aren’t I? I am a complete social media addict! But I have to admit that I really feel like I’m part of this big community on Twitter and there is just so much information I have picked up and learned from the others. A lot of people say Twitter is very difficult for them to grasp and find it hard to follow and interact with others there. But I really think that using an app of some sort to watch Twitter makes it a lot easier. I use Seesmic and I have been pretty happy with it so far. It really helps in organizing whichever hashtags you wish to follow. It’s definitely a great networking tool and, unlike plurk which is more of a playground for me where I can be goofy or whatever, I feel different on Twitter. It’s a completely different environment and I am definitely loving it.

Anyhow, I’m rambling again. Here’s a link to my facebook page and twitter page again and I would love a “like” and “follow” thank you for your continued support! <3

A quick post because I really felt so pretty in this skin so I wanted to share. The skin is called Emery, it’s from Grixdale and I am wearing the mocha tone. It’s a special Valentine makeup so go by the store and check it out now.

Also I’ve been wanting to take a pic on this sim for so long, I’m in love with it and there’s so much to explore here. The sim is called The Pixel Bean and I hope you get a chance to visit.

Have a great weekend! <3

Adorable blogger Makenzie Irling (with her cute eatable nose :P) has given us a great blogger’s challenge. The Bloggers We Love challenge is perfect for this week because it’s almost Valentine’s day and we get to request our favorite bloggers to pose with us for a post.

So of course, I knew this would be the PERFECT opportunity for me to take advantage and molest one of my most favorite male bloggers on the grid, Carthalis Rossini.

Carthalis is a man of few words, definitely a strong, silent type. However, his presence is just so powerful. Even on his blog, he rarely writes much, it’s his style and pictures that do the talking. He blows me away with every post. His creativity and his love for the unusual keeps me going back to his art over and over. He’s inspired me so many times. Thank you Carthalis, for all that you do…and for posing for me patiently today. <3

I hope you guys get a chance to do the Bloggers We Love challenge this week. Lets spread the love around. <3

What Carthalis is wearing:
Skin: Ispachi Gabriel Vanilla Bald/5 O’shadow
Hair: Exile Adam Greystone
Eyes: Ispachi Reality Eyes Metal
Earring: Rozoregalia Gemma
Beard: No.07 Freestyle Black Type 2
Suit: Aoharu Pinstripe Formal Suit Black
Boots: Ispachi Holmes

These braids from Discord Designs are just so well done and available in a variety of colors. Each style also comes with a perfectly matching hairbase. The adorable heart necklace is from Caroline’s Jewelry and would be the perfect gift for that someone special.
