This year's Life Ball to raffle off the Pink Panther MINI

It's great when fashion and music and cars come together. It is a rare sighting, but that is just what has happened with the newest and most unique MINI cabrio prepared for Life Ball 2009. We know that the MINI has taken part in the premier European AIDS fundraiser for the last nine years and this year is no different. This year the chosen designer for making a cute little retromobile is none other than the Hollywood fashion icons The Blonds. They are known for being a hit with pop stars. This leopard print MINI is something between an eye sore and a fun playful mobile, but it definitely doesn't draw inspiration from Pink Panther. In fact, Katy Perry is the one who has inspired this pink flirty design. She will perform at the gala in Vienna on May 16 and this is where the car will be raffled off to raise money for fighting AIDS. I'm not sure how much I like the pink leopard print design of the car, but I certainly support the cause.
