Sunday is live music day beginning with Avantguard Frequency and ending with the amazing Miss Katia Keres ! Many mre to fill up in between .... so don't miss this weekend of fun to raise money for needy families this coming holiday season!

And like I said.. all this fun for a good cause. AAF (Adopt A Family) is hosting the Summer on the Boardwalk fundraiser benefit. Organized by Lacie Beninborough, AAF began in November of 2009, when it was brought to her attention that a family was in very dire need that year. They were in jeopardy of losing everything, the husband had just lost his job and the mother had two chronically ill children. The information note card states, "This is where AAF comes in. Our sole purpose is to help those that are struggling financially get through the holiday season. We have fundraisers throughout the year and raise money to be given out at the beginning of December.
We do our very best to ensure that the people we help are truly in need." There is a large Christmas fundraiser planned for This year to take place at the Patch Thibaud Auditorium at BOSL on December 19,2011 @ 4 pm slt. "Do not miss this spectacular show with gorgeous gowns by HOX. Hosted by Lacie Beningborough and Mr. Frolic Mills, this is an event that you do not want to miss!"

Persia Bravin's Rez Day & May Costa Rica Influential Party

Sunday, May 29th I attended a party for one of SL's favorite media sweetie's, Persia Bravin! She was celebrating her selection as the May Costa Rica Influential and also her rez day. I think everyone in SL knows Persia, so I won't go on and on about all her accomplishments and tons of things she is involved in, as it's all over the web and I've mentioned her here several times before as well. I just wanted to save and post a few pics from her party here. Her Influential interview is here: http://costaricasims.com/sims-tier-prims/view-by-prims-tier/commercial-parcels/2516-costa-rica-sims-may-influential-honors-one-of-the-busiest-women-in-second-life-ms-persia-bravin.html or direct link here: PersiaHere.


The party was a smash with over 70 attendees, full at times, and constantly hopping with dj tunes by Mikee Gemini Ghost who was actually celebrating his RL birthday that day as well. It's notable Persia's actual rez day was June 1st (I think, that's close anyway). It's also notable that Blackbarbie Bravin, another of BOSL's gems who also helps run the magazine along with Persia celebrates her rez day the day after Persia, so wish them both a good one!


The beach themed party Sunday was mostly casual and swimwear at a spot in Alajuela, Costa Rica sim. Some of the many attendees were Claus Uriza, Candylicious Forster, LaPiscean Liberty, Ivy Maverick, Leila Roddenham, Dividni Shostakovich, Kikki Snowpaw, Lacy Muircastle and many others. I had a great time, but had to go RL, so I snapped some pics, wished Persia well, danced a few songs and said my hellos and goodbyes. It must be the season for BOSL rez days... see Frolic Mills post late May here: http://karasecondlife.blogspot.com/2011/05/bosl-ceofounder-frolic-mills-4th-rez.html track directly here: FrolicHere.




Darn I missed the mud wrestling!

BOSL CEO/Founder, Frolic Mills, 4th Rez Day Party

Yesterday, May 28th, I attended the 4th rez day party for Mr. Frolic Mills. Frolic is BOSL CEO and Founder, owner of the BOSL Browns, the football team my cheer leading squad is owned by and also my boss at BOSL. The event was held at the Patch Thibaud auditorium to a crowd of over 50 and the show lineup was a list of Broadway hits.


One of the highlights for me was enjoying the talent of real life Broadway artist Tamra Hayden, known as Tamra Sands in SL, who has held lead roles in blockbusters such as Les Miserables, Cabaret, Phantom of the Opera, Fiddler On the Roof and others. I honestly was very happily surprised to learn of and hear her and kept asking myself and others around me, "Where did she come from?", as I've never seen her in SL before and her voice was so very very impressive. You can read more about her real life and there is also a SL segment including her SL performance schedule here: http://www.tamrahayden.com or direct link here: TamraHere.


Other performers included one of my favorite SL dance troupes, The Dramatiques, which I have blogged a couple of times before here. Jesse Ribeiro, also a RL musician, composer, vocalist, and producer, recently bringing his music into SL, performed as well.

Various Broadways musicals were performed at the party with props, costumes, beautiful backgrounds, dances, and music including numbers from The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Grease, The Lion King, West Side Story, Tommy, Evita and more.

The party ended with Mr. Mills, performers, and guests dancing on the stage. As expected when it involves Frolic Mills and BOSL, the party was something special in SL to remember.
