A new dress in the BAA Building which is a show-stopper. My daughter is playing today in RL for Bugles Across America and I thought it was time for a new dress for BAA :)
Adia - named for one of my favorite songs by Sarah McLaughlin - gold and emerald and very unique 250L and 1/2 goes to BAA for every dress - so far we have raised $400 RL for BAA and time to kick it up a notch! The veterans deserve all we can give. FIND ADIA HERE!!!

BENEFIT CONCERT & FASHION SHOW

MUSIC AND FASHION TAKE CENTER STAGE TO BENEFIT VETERANS

It’s part of a Second Life double header as musician Ridha Cooljoke performs Sunday July 27th and a Hollywood Fashion Show takes the runway the following day at 2:00pm PST to raise funds for “Bugles Across America.” “Bugles Across America” is a group of volunteers committed to have a live bugler play taps at every veteran’s funeral in the United States.

“My daughter is a member of this organization and I am the daughter of a veteran, so I feel very honored to be part of this worthwhile cause,” stated Lemania Indigo. Ridha Cooljoke will take the stage at the Celebration Hall Sunday and all donations will be contributed to the cause. The sale of 10 of the dresses featured in the fashion show will give 50% of the profits to the cause and the sale of one limited edition dress will give 100%. Look Elite Models will be featured at the fashion show and all shoes for this event have been supplied by Melanie Zhao.

Born in Tunisa, now living in Milano, Ridha began performing at a very young age playing and singing international tunes including swing, jazz, evergreen, 60's, 70's, 80's and World music. He just finished singing at Christopher Coppola’s PAHfest MOTOWN 08, a concert that was not only seen in Second Life but was featured on Internet2 and on the campus of Madonna University.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 26, 2008 – Concord, New Hampshire — The haunting call of taps brings thoughts of the men and women who have valiantly served the United States military and are finally laid to rest. Mother/daughter Lemania Indigo and Alexandria Davis are teaming up to assure every U.S. veteran has a live bugle player playing taps at their funeral. Indigo is using her skills as an established clothing designer in the virtual world “Second Life” to raise funds for this important cause. Her daughter is part of the organization “Bugles Across American” and has donated her time and talents to this crusade. “As a blind person I wanted to serve my country and Bugles Across America is a way to serve my country and honor those veterans who have passed away with a live rendition of taps representing our respect for their service to our country,” said Alexandria Davis. Seeing her daughter’s great devotion to this organization Indigo felt she wanted to do more. That is where the 3D chat realm Second Life comes into play. Using her talents as a clothing designer in the virtual world, Indigo now designs and sells a clothing line that all the proceeds go toward “Bugles Across Amercia.” She has also set up a donation kiosk where people can donate directly without purchasing any of her designs. To date, the money is coming in and Indigo plans to continue to make designs and sell them for “Bugles Across America. “Yes this is a cause for me that I believe in. Not only because I have a wonderful daughter who participates but also because I think it is the least we can do for our veterans,” said Indigo.
