Fashion Show Highlights

The show was a great success and we filled the sim! All the models were great and everyone was thrilled. In the last 2 days we raised over 29,000L for BAA and as I send the money to them know they are very thankful and happy with the results. I will continue to donate and BAA will remain on my sim so be on the lookout for more dresses in the BAA house :) Hope everyone like the Hollywood dress I decided to send out to everyone now that we have 800 subscribers! Yay! Hugs and I am tired!

Hollywood

This is a dress I am calling Hollywood in honor of the fashion show today and because it is such an elegant classy texture and design - the shine is brillant. Visitors at the show will be receiving the dress and jewelry at the show today as a gift - otherwise it is on sale at the store :)

CONCERT PICTURES

The concert with Ridha Cooljoke was great and very successful and during the concert we raised over $8000L! Thanks to all that attended and a special thanks to Ridha for donating his time and musical talents to the effort to raise funds for BAA.

MUSIC FOR MUSIC BENEFIT CONCERT

Today at 1:00 PM SL time we will be holding the benefit concert - MUSIC for MUSIC and all proceeds will go to Bugles Across America. You can click here to view the website. Every little bit helps and I am happy to be able to do this as is Ridha Cooljoke a great talent! He is donating his time and effort to help and it is greatly appreciated! The music will be wonderful and the company fun! I have already raised over $25,000L (about $100 for this great effort). The money will be used for uniforms and equipment for the all volunteer Honor Guard members who play Taps at the funerals of veterans who have served this country. I also have a permanent building at my sim where I will be placing new weekly dresses and also there will be a donation rose. You my friends have been so kind and thoughtful and I thank you! Tomorrow is the fashion show - more on that later but 75% will go to BAA with the rest going to the cost of the shows. So -- :) Giving with your heart in Second Life is not so hard :) Hugs to all and see you at the concert!

WEEKLY GROUP GIFT - LA PALOMA

Yes I have showing it here on the website early because I finished it and it is ready for release on Sunday - the day of the concert and I will release it right before Ridha begins to play ;p

"La Paloma" is one of the most popular songs ever written, having been produced and reinterpreted in diverse cultures, settings, arrangements, and recordings over the last 140 years. The song was composed and written by Sebastián Iradier (later Yradier) after he visited Cuba in 1861. The first line of the original song is "Cuando salí de la Habana, válgame Dios!" Iradier may have composed "La Paloma" around 1863, just two years before he died in Spain in obscurity, never to learn how popular his song would become.
The influence of the local Cuban habanera gives the song its characteristic and distinctive rhythm. Very quickly "La Paloma" became popular in Mexico, and soon spread around the world. In many places, including Mexico, Spain, Hawaii, Germany, Romania and Zanzibar, it gained the status of a quasi folk song. Over the years the popularity of "La Paloma" has surged and receded periodically, but never subsided. It may be considered one of the first universal popular hits and has appealed to artists of diverse musical backgrounds.

Shimmy

I went to a dance with my sister Kate;
Everybody there thought she danced so great;
I realized a thing or two,
When I got wise to something new:

When I looked at Kate, she was in a trance,
And then I knew it was in her dance;
All the boys are going wild
Over sister Katie's style.

Oh, I wish I could I shimmy like my sister Kate;
She shimmies like a jelly on a plate.
My mama wanted to know last night,
What makes the boys think Kate's so nice.

Now all the boys in the neighborhood,
They know that she can shimmy and it's understood;
I know that I'm late, but I'll be up-to-date
When I shimmy like my sister Kate.
I mean, when I shimmy like my sister Kate.

Now I can shimmy like my sister Kate,
I know that I'm real late,
I think I'll do a real shimmy dance,
Dancing like my sister Kate,
Sweet papa, just like my sister Kate.
