YOUR COMPUTER—A beautiful gown for a good cause: Carmen Marc Valvo is auctioning off a gown (through March 15) and selling limited edition tees (through the end of the month) to benefit the Colon Cancer Alliance (CCA), the nation’s oldest and largest colon cancer advocacy organization.

CULVER CITY—Also in session: Allie Pohl's Ideal Woman at Royal/T. The Los Angeles-based artist has taken over the space with thinky-thinky multimedia works that tackle the notions of self, ultra-idealized beauty, femininity and power. And cute jewelry to buy! There's an opening party on Wednesday, from 6pm to 8pm, but the show goes through March 28. 8910 Washington Blvd. [Racked Inbox]
