AquaChange by Mermaid in England

Mermaid in England’s new range of AquaChange colour change swimwear is the world’s first swimwear to change colour and pattern on contact with water without the use of chemicals. The swimwear was a hit with celebrity stylist, Arabella Boyce, who chose several pieces of the colour change swimwear for the Fresh2o underwater shoots taking place at Summer Clothes Show 2010 over the weekend.

Is this as cool as it looks? Has anyone tried these? For some reason I’m pretty sure once you actually get out of the water you’ll have some sort of “in-between”-look, which is obviously not what you’re looking for. If you have any experience with these Mermaid in England-pieces, let us know in the comments section!

Lees, who is known for her exquisite embroidery skills, has released a range of T-shirts made exclusively for Freya featuring designs to help promote the “Holy Fit” campaign, which is aimed at bra-fitting awareness.

“As we’re trying to raise awareness about the importance of wearing a correctly fitted bra to a younger audience, I felt that creating a range of T-shirts in this season’s hottest styles will offer girls an opportunity to show their support for the Holy Fit campaign in a fashionable way,” Lees told Vogue UK in an interview.

There are 60 T-shirts of each of the five designs available only in the UK for £25 each. All proceeds will go to The Genesis Appeal, which is the only UK charity entirely dedicated to the prevention of breast cancer.

For a few years now, Slimpressions has been actively involved with the charity, Food for the Poor, that reaches impoverished communities in the Caribbean.  With 96% of donations going directly to those in need, the organization does amazing work to build homes, sanitation facilities, and more.  The funds from Slimpressions have been donated to Lahatte, Haiti.  In light of the recent tragedy in that nation, the funds Slimpressions is donating is even more vital and timely than ever.  I spoke with co-founder, Jennifer Daniels this week at Curve and she informed me that the development of Lahatte is just about 20% complete.

Want to help Slimpressions reach its goal?  Click here to donate to Food for the Poor.  Don’t forget to check the Slimpressions blog to hear first hand about how this wonderful charity was chosen.

The Lingerie Post has pitched in a small donation to get things started!

The corset, which the exhibitionist popstar wore in her recent concert tour, is also signed by the Gaganess herself and will be given to the highest bidder once bidding ceases on February 23rd. The corset has an estimated value of $2,000, but bidding is already up to $5,000!

The following Lady Gaga mini bio is found on Charity Buzz:

“When Lady Gaga was a little girl, she would sing along on her mini plastic tape recorder to Michael Jackson and Cindy Lauper hits and get twirled in the air in daddy’s arms to the sounds of Rolling Stones and The Beatles. The precocious child would dance around the table at fancy upper west side restaurants using breadsticks as a baton. And, she would innocently greet a new babysitter in nothing but her birthday suit. It’s no wonder that little girl from a good Italian New York family, turned into the exhibitionist, multi-talented singer-songwriter with a flair for theatrics that she is today: Lady Gaga.”

The ‘Wickedelic Sweethearts’ calendar features 13 girls who joined 10,000 other hopefuls in submitting photos for a competition to win the chance to become a ‘Forces Sweetheart’. The lucky 13 were chosen for their appearance and their caring attitudes towards the Armed Forces, with many either having an Armed Forces background or an Armed Forces spouse.

One such girl, Susie Hutson won the overall competition when she polled the most public votes after becoming a Forces Sweetheart in the East Midlands, where she met an Officer, who has now become her partner. As part of her win, Susie won the chance to appear on the calendar cover, and become the face of Wickedelic Lingerie. Susie said, “Britain has the bravest Armed Forces in the World, and I am so honoured to be a part of the Wickedelic Sweethearts calendar, raising money for the two most important charities in the UK right now – Help For Heroes and Combat Stress.”

Wickedelic Lingerie boss and ex-Royal Marine, David Hildrew said, “I understand the physical and emotional strain the brave men and women of our Armed Forces go through, and it’s a great source of personal pride for me that we are able to do our small bit, and raise funds for these two vital charities. All our 13 girls are stunning in their own ways, and Susie is a perfect cover girl, and a gorgeous girl to be the face of Wickedelic Lingerie.”

Boutique Founder Nikki Crouwel says about the campaign: “This recession is not only harming the car industry, it is painful to the fashion and lingerie sector as well. But this witty campaign that refers to the car scrap scheme in a lighthearted way, has surprising earned attention and increased our sales. Most important, we can send the returned bra’s to a good cause.”

I actually think this is a GREAT idea – and hope to see more brick & mortar locations do similar things. This has to be a win-win situation, no?
