I was singing at Coffee's Music Venue yesterday and got to use the brand new cheese and wine stage. There were some very interesting songs along the lines of "Don't Cry for me Gorgonzola". I had been hoping to work a few more in such as "In the Brie Small Hours of the Morning" or "The Gouda Life" but recent time shifts meant we were all a bit rushed yesterday. However we did have a fun time. If you get the chance to pop along to one of the concerts, please do and check out the decor. Coffee not only decorates the stage, he transforms the whole club. A month back we had a wonderful Arabian theme. The last one was absolutely astounding with a night time city-scape. There was even traffic driving around and a spaceship buzzing the club. Check out the photos below. Every two weeks it's like a complete installation and just pure magic.

We like to make a bit of a show at Sinner's Burlesque and since we have taken a hiatus from doing cabaret, the set designs still keep coming out regardless. Since the Oscars had just taken place this it seemed like a fun idea to roll out the red carpet.
Our first event was with Samm Qendra and she had them rolling in the aisles between songs. She is not only a talented and sweet person but also extremely funny. I treasure getting to work with her because she is such a joy. I made a joke on Facebook about not dropping the gold envelopes so she turned up in a dress with no long skirt at the front so she wouldn't trip over it :D The week after we had the equally lovely Lisa Brune who turned the red carpet blue just before we started and had us all crying laughing. I offered her an Oscar for Best Promotion of Depeche Mode in SecondLife but she had to get Noah to accept it on her behalf because her dog needed to be walked in RL. Damn, I thought being a star meant you had people to do these things for you! LOL Both shows were packed out and Sanne and I had so much fun. We hope everyone enjoyed them as much as we did. The 3 Divas strike again !! Sinner's Burlesque in Second Life I have never had a lot to do with MadPea in the past, apart from a few visits to their old sim which was a lovely place. When Brique asked me to be part of this event I jumped at the chance, knowing that their great organisational skills were going to be something special.
On the day of the opening I got a message from Brique saying that they needed a fill in so I jumped in and when I got there found I was opening the event! with 15 minutes notice it was a bit slapdash but we had a good time and there were a lot of people around on the 4 sims. My first experience of streaming over multiple sims I think? When the 21st came around (and yes I did really wear a teapot on my head..its Darjeeling btw..I was also wearing rollerskates but I ditched the fruit platter for Health & Safety reasons) I was in full fundraising gear so got the good people of Roissy at my earlier gig to donate their tips to Feed A Smile. I think we ended up with about 18K from that alone, so shout out to those wonderful patrons who gave so generously. The actual concert at MadPea brought in another 10K I think, so again, thank you to everyone who donated. In total I believe the event raised in excess of 3 million Linden for the School Kitchen in Kenya which was nearly $12,000. Congratulations for such an amazing event and to all the other artists and contributors. Thank you also to Brique for letting me be just a small part of such a wonderful event. http://www.madpeagames.com/goodbye-food-fair/ |
