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.

Emeral Jewel Shoes

Yes, here I go - I am trying my hand at shoes :) These are an original texture and would look great with the Theda Bara dress I will have on sale on the 28th at the fashion show. They are sculptie and jeweled and twinkling!

Shine

Snow time ain't no time to sit outdoors and spoon

Shine on, shine on harvest moon for me 'n' my gal

C'mon, shine on harvest moon way up there in the sky.

Don'tcha know I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June, AND July?

Now, looka here—don't you know better than to set out there in the snow 'n' spoon?

C'mon, I don'twant no half moon, I want a full moon.

Oh, won't you shine on, shine on harvest moon

(shine on, shine on)Up in the sky? (shine on)

So shine on, shine on harvest moon for me 'n' my gal

Annie Hall

Another suggestion... Annie Hall and yes I dressed like Annie Hall and still like the look. Matter of fact in RL its a favorite of mine minus the tie lol. For one of my first casual outfits I like it :) Hat not included but you can pick up the hat with hair at ETD. :)

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 :)

UNRELEASED - Peacock Blues

This one is the final dress for the show with a total of 11. This one is another unique and unusual design and the flexi is interesting and the texture is a beautiful back of a peacock. Peacocks and thier feathers were quite popular in Hollywood in the 1910's and 20's and I have updated it but also imagined Gloria Swanson wearing it - bet she would have :)

UNRELEASED - Theda Bara

You would be amazed at where I got this texture and what it really is! It is a irridescent beetle and the minute I saw it I knew it would be a perfect Theda Bara dress - who would have thought it? Me - I am crazy but the result is fantastic along with all the jewelry!
