Introduction
What is Chic or Shock™?
Chic Or Shock is a collaborative decision-making Social Network with emphasis on beauty and fashion dilemmas, opinions, assurances and reactions! With Chic Or Shock you get real personal reactions and opinions on:
- A dress, shirt or shoes you are about to wear to a wedding.
- Or that new pair of jeans you want to buy to match your shirt, an outfit you want to wear to a birthday party.
- Or just getting your curiosity satisfied about a hairdo or a makeup style.
- Whatever your creativity takes you, the choice is yours!
