Musical Event at Museum of SL Photography

The Autism Experience Revisited
Dual Exhibitions at the Museum of Second Life Photography
and Angel Dorei Museum
April 4 - May 3, 2009
Musical Event at Museum of SL Photography:
Sunday April 19, 5pmSL - 7pm featuring Russell Eponym and Somerset Oh & Rhode

Russell EponymRussell is an accomplished guitarist as well as a superb harmonica player - his finger picking is of the highest caliber and his eloquent vocal style, reminiscent of the finest British thespians of the West End Theatre District, is rich and engaging- whether he is singing one of his original compositions, or any of his superbly selected covers. Russell's original song "You Have no Eyes" which tells of diversity and acceptance, will be featured in his set at MoSLP.

Somerset Oh & Rhode - SOARComposed of Charles Somerset, Bright Oh and Experiment Rhode, Soar's original songs are heartfelt and sincere telling musical stories of people and places who have touched their lives . The honest lyrics and simple pure melodies never fail to reach the hearts of their audience. SOAR recently put a poem by Mari's son Chance, who is the inspiration for the "autism experience" exhibition, to music and "A Song for a broken soul" will be featured in Soar's set at MoSLP.

The Autism Experience Exhibition -
by Mariposa Upshaw, Curator Museum of SL Photography and Angel Dorei Museum
I am honored to present The Autism Experience exhibitions at the Museum of SL Photography and Angel Dorei Museum. Autism is very personal to me. My only child was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome at age 8; he is a shining spirit, a unique individual and my inspiration. This exhibition is not about ribbons and cures and research; it IS about awareness, understanding and acceptance; about compassion and celebrating diversity; about being unique, being "atypical", seeing the world thru different eyes and celebrating that we are all threads in the tapestry of life; it is also about isolation and misunderstanding that can occur when a non-typical person is expected to adapt to a "typical" society.

The artworks on display for the Autism Experience will be auctioned at exhibition end, with all proceeds going to Dreams/the Brigadoon Explorers and VAI - Virtual Abilities Inc, two groups that provide support to residents on the autism spectrum, and awareness and education to residents in general. Donation jars are onsite at both MoSLP and Angel Dorei for the run of the exhibitions.

Congrats Horris and Cara!!

Two of our favorite people here at Fashionista tied the virtual knot on Saturday, Horris Fitzcarraldo and Carabella Babii. Their wedding was held at the amazing Eostara sim. Be sure to wish them well in their SL togetehr! We love you guys!

Spring and Flowers show success!

What a great time it was at this beautiful show. The set was spectacular, the clothing divine, the models outstanding, and the crowd loved it! What more can you ask for? We have some amazing photos from Tillie Ariantho that you can view by clicking here, and also a video from Melonie Romano that you can see here. Be sure to stay tuned for more amazing show successes from SuperElite Agency!

Great April Fools Show at SE!

So, Yas had sent out this PR...which I should have known was fishy since I am the PR Director, and I had no clue of this show! Haha! But it was called Claudette Cozen Couture, and I felt a little ill reading it as I posted it on another blog. It even got a few harsh comments form some readers! Luckily it was a joke, and there was a great party on our new sim Trashionista. Check out more of these hilarious pictures courtesy of Krise Shepherd.
