Uptown Jazz


This is cheating but this is for tomorrow's release at 4:00PM SL time - dress 3 with shoes and jewelry! Uptown Jazz - created while I was listening to the amazing voice of Anita O'Day (which is pig latin for dough or money). She had a rough life and her voice was something - if you get a chance listen to some of her hits from the 1940's.

Blessings



I want to thank Abide Blessed who provided the texture for this dress and the shoes. She was kind enough to allow me to use it and I think it turned out beautifully! I called it Blessings because sometimes we forget to think about the things in our lives that our blessings.

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.

Nile Queen


I loved the beetle texture so much I created a wonderful new design for it with jewels and a one-of-a-kind unique chiffon wrap. I have never seen this type of chiffon wrap in SL and it took some doing to make it - trust me! Once the outfit was complete I felt like the Queen of the Nile and -- here it is :)
