E is for E!, Echo and Essential

Culture Shock e! and Echo

Essential is the word for Médecins Sans Frontières MSF (Doctors Without Borders) who, because they are independent of any government agenda, go where they are needed without fear or favor. One of the places they go is Cameroon where they provide critical work fighting drug resistant HIV, Buruli ulcers and cholera. You can help support this work with an expedition to Culture Shock.

One of the complaints my friends from Africa have voiced is that too often, all we hear from Africa is war, famine and disease. We don’t hear about the vibrant culture and the joy of Africa. A Cameroonian poet Emmanuel Fru Doh wrote about this in his poem Telling Africa. I think it is important that while supporting this essential work of MSF, we remember that the people they serve are more than their diseases, that they have a rich cultural tradition and a long history. That link will take you to a collection of Cameroonian poetry – a small window into the wider panorama of life there.

Hang in there!

may04_002

My 7th and 8th grade science teacher had a poster on the wall in his classroom that said “Hang in there, Friday’s coming!” I always thought that was so unrepresentative his real character as he had a passion for teaching and was not marking time waiting for the weekend. I guess I am thinking of him because I am “hanging in there” in this picture taken at Empyreal Dreams.

These planets are at the top of the stardust ribbon leading up from the build. Empyreal Dreams is a fabulous build that honors great works in literature including in this parcel, Les Miserables a book that loomed large in my childhood and was the centerpiece of one of the great conflicts of my elementary education.

Veni, Vidi, Emi

The shopping this weekend has been absolutely ridiculous in the best possible way. The HAIR FAIR opened, Truth District Opened, the sale days have been awesome plus Disco Deals is still going on.

That’s the bit I’m mostly going to go on about right now.

But before that. Can I just get all lame on you and rave all “love love love” about this dress? Ok I can do better than that. Continue reading

Disco Deals – Now With New Crunchier Flavor

That doesn’t even make sense. Crunchier flavor indeed. My best friend was an English major and she used to just lose her shit over people saying “crispy”. Apparently something can’t be more than crisp. Not even if you really, really dry it out.

I digress. Continue reading

Last Chance for DISCO DEALS – And The Dress I Bought Bcse of REBAKE!

Celebrity Trollop’s latest endeavor REBAKE is a weekly fashion newsletter that is chock full of styling and fashion news, plus a look of the week. I fell in love with this dress from the latest issue and lucky, the REBAKE editors always give you slurl and marketplace info so buying it was a snap.

I love the format vs. magazines with their hurky jurky interfaces and weird navigation. It comes to my inbox and is truly something I look forward to at the end of every week. Sales, fashion events and news and lots of other goodness are packed into every issue. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you’re missing it! SIGN UP HERE!

There is still time, btw, those of you who LOVE Kokeshi dolls to pick up this set from DISCO DEALS. For only 99L you get a set that are tiny (see below) who float around on the water fishing. They’d be really cute if you had a pond on your parcel

You also get a larger pair, that would still be cute on a pond, I wish I had a pond on my main parcel where my house is, I love these. Continue reading
