        <description><![CDATA[From: afrobella Amidst the destruction and stink of death, there remains life and hope in Haiti. This little boy&#8217;s smile reminded so many of us that Haiti still needs our help. There are still lives to be saved, and donations are still desperately needed. 
In my previous posts on Haiti, I mentioned initiatives that are directly donating [...]

She did the same thing last night in New Zealand. (Link courtesy my beloved Oh No They Didn&#8217;t)

        <description><![CDATA[From: afrobella Just last year, I had an encounter with a fur coat that left me both aghast and amazed. At Chicago&#8217;s Modern Vintage Fashion event, there was an entire booth dedicated to fur. Now &#8212; indulge me for a second. I&#8217;m from the islands. Furs are not a part of the wardrobe in such climates. So [...]
