Stevie Nicks headlines Couture Design Awards

MAY 11, 2006 - Las Vegas -- Stevie Nicks will take the stage as the headline act when the winners of the Town & Country 2006 Couture Design Awards are announced at the Wynn Las Vegas on June 1.

Nicks, the acclaimed singer/songwriter who gained fame as the lead singer of Fleetwood Mac before going solo, will be performing an intimate concert for the Couture community during the award program.

Hosted by the Couture Jewellery Collection & Conference and Town & Country magazine, this is the 11th year that a special evening gala has been held to announce the awards, which recognize those in the jewelry industry who shine not only with their designs, but with their marketing and public relations initiatives.

For the first time, luxury car company Bentley Motors will be sponsoring the awards. Bentley also aims to help raise funds and awareness for Jewelers For Children and its Caring for Katrina's Kids fund-raising program, set up to help the youngest victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Bentley will auction a weeklong, chauffeured luxury trip through England to benefit children impacted by Katrina. The itinerary, including luxury hotels, airfare, top-notch dining, and transportation will be planned by Bentley and Town&Country Travel magazine.

Each entry ticket for the vacation, valued at $20,000, is $100, with all proceeds going directly to JFC's Legacy Charities for their Katrina-related support programs.

"As the industry's premiere jewelry event, we at Couture are delighted to have such esteemed partners in Town & Country and Bentley, to both support Jewelers for Children and bring Stevie Nicks to Wynn Las Vegas," Lee Arevian, vice president of the VNU Jewelry Group said in a press release. "This is the fifth year that the Couture community has participated in the JFC initiative and we look forward to continuing to work together and most-importantly, raise money, for years to come."

The gala will be held on June 1 at Wynn Las Vegas, during the Couture Jewellery Collection & Conference which takes place May 30-June 2.

Stevie Nicks headlines Couture Design Awards
nice. thanks for the info.

wonder what she'll sing? I mean, you never know with Stevie. ;)

[strandinthewind]

Hmmmm - let me sum this up right now.

Dissention and his posse will scream she is a sell out whore who cares nothing for her real fans. How dare she get paid for performing.

Me and my posse will point out that she is a paid entertainer and her getting paid by one party to do this private gig is in no way different than 10,000 people paying her to do an arena gig.

Well, that preculded a lot of bandwith on this topic :laugh:

Seriously, thanks for posting!!!!!!

alrighty then. I guess that covers everyone. no need to have a 30 page thread then. :thumbsup:

The same Sparky who was gonna go to Vegas on Oct. 14 :wavey:

[Jyqm]

Seriously, though, as long as we got this thread nipped in the bud, people need to go listen to that drum & bass song and post about how SO AWESOME it is.

[ELIUD]

I'm with you Strand. I have no conflict with her performing private/corporate gigs.
The issue with a private party for fans could have happened if handled differently.

[JazmenFlowers]

I can't wait to get home to listen.

There's a charity aspect to this event. I think it's nice.

Here it comes. :nod:

[Johnny Stew]

The show is going to help raise funds for children effected by Hurricane Katrina -- why on Earth would anyone have a problem with her performing there?

But then I forget some people just like to blast her for every single thing she does.

[bikerchic]

......and all I can think about is the beautiful room she'll be staying in at The Wynn.

[SortaSavageLike]

That charitable bitch! :mad:

[Rickypt]

So far I think everyone is supportive.

[Jyqm]

I missed that on my first skim through the article, that is really great.

[Rickypt]

I'm over her.

This got a laugh out of me. Sometimes you say quite a lot in very few words which is a great skill.

[diamondsnake]

I forget some people just like to blast her for every single thing she does.

Ain't that the truth!

[sparky]

The same Sparky who was gonna go to Vegas on Oct. 14 :wavey:

I wanted to spend a weekend with Clayre, and have cocktials with you. Oh, and watch the bitchslapping of people snarling at each other at the stage apron.

[amber]

I wanted to spend a weekend with Clayre, and have cocktials with you. Oh, and watch the bitchslapping of people snarling at each other at the stage apron.

Oh, great. I was going to use you as my "muscle" to get to the front. But I guess you'd be too busy laughing at me.

[sparky]

Oh, great. I was going to use you as my "muscle" to get to the front. But I guess you'd be too busy laughing at me.

Lord no. We could drink and laugh lots and then I would muscle you up to the front. I could deposit you there with confidence. I would always put my money on you in even the nastiest of bitchslap territories.:wavey:

[Clayre]

Sparky & I were definitely into checking out to see who all would STORM THAT BACKSTAGE on 10/14/06 ! :nod:
Lord have mercy--SN & her fans rock right off the planet!!!
:angel:

[SapphireSister]

I saw we all crash this event in Vegas and harass Stevie for not performing at her own fans' private party :laugh: :woohoo:

[amber]

Lord no. We could drink and laugh lots and then I would muscle you up to the front. I could deposit you there with confidence. I would always put my money on you in even the nastiest of bitchslap territories.:wavey:

:laugh:

Hurray! It's because you know my fists would make an appearance right quick, and that my ass is a weapon of mass destruction.
Good plan, especially with a few drinks in me. Wait...wait....could I possibly charm my way to the front? If I've had cocktails, I'll certainly think I can.

"Bitchslap Territories".
They used to be part of the French Caribbean, but became independent following the Hundred Years Bitchslap War.

Sapphire - that's a great idea, that will sway Stevie to our side!!

[SandyMac]

Wow, Stevie getting some press. cool. What web site was this from?

[jwd]

The issue with a private party for fans could have happened if handled differently. Ouch. I agree.

[jwd]

For the first time, luxury car company Bentley Motors will be sponsoring the awards. Bentley also aims to help raise funds and awareness for Jewelers For Children and its Caring for Katrina's Kids fund-raising program, set up to help the youngest victims of Hurricane Katrina.

I'm sure that's why Stevie is doing this. Kudos to Ms. Nicks, once again.

:laugh: :laugh: there was my daily "ledge laugh" thanks!

[Phoenix]

I saw we all crash this event in Vegas and harass Stevie for not performing at her own fans' private party :laugh: :woohoo:

Well, thats it, Next time we disguise the "fan party" as a "charitable event" and then ! WE POUNCE! Mu-ha-ha.:D

[amber]

:laugh:

Hey, Phoenix! :wavey:

I love it when people cackle evilly.

But besides that, it's too bad we couldn't hold a charitable event - It would be a great thing to do, and it seems more likely Stevie would participate.

[strandinthewind]

......and all I can think about is the beautiful room she'll be staying in at The Wynn.

I think we should get a gang up and show up on your soft tail and my fat boy (when I get it) :cool: Stevie in riding leather (swoon) :wavey:

" The 2006 Couture Jewellery Collection & Conference

The most exclusive and intimate jewelry event in the world gears up for its second year
at Wynn Las Vegas

The Couture Jewellery Collection & Conference returns to its new home at Wynn Las Vegas for what is set to be the event for the elite jewelry community in 2006. Major changes are taking place which promise to excite the Couture community and further elevate the experience involving the dates and the number of exhibitors at the show.

This invite-only event both raises the bar of exclusivity and provides an intimate setting for networking and socializing during this important buying time."

So much for getting in.......:(

[Jyqm]

But besides that, it's too bad we couldn't hold a charitable event - It would be a great thing to do, and it seems more likely Stevie would participate.

Come on now, folks. While it's great that there's a charity aspect to this awards show, I doubt that that's got anything to do with why Stevie is performing. As Brian Stew mentioned in another thread: with Stevie, a gig is a gig, and we know she's got no problem playing corporate events just for the paycheck. Besides, the money going to the charity is all coming from the vacation raffle thing; nothing to do with Stevie.

It's more likely that Stevie will participate in something if it's a charity event? Have we forgotten Mitzvahpalooza already?

Come on, yourself. I do think in theory she would be more likely to participate. Yes, there was Mitzvahpalooza, but she's also done charity shows as well. I think the money is the main factor. Also, I imagine Stevie would rather be at cool events, rather than non cool events.
I also wish I could go just because I really like jewelry...:laugh:

You were at that party :eek: :laugh:

[Johnny Stew]

Yes, there was Mitzvahpalooza....I still think the presence of Tom Petty and Don Henley at Mitzvahpalooza is all we need to know as to why Stevie performed there.

[DavidMn]

Hmmmm - let me sum this up right now.

Dissention and his posse will scream she is a sell out whore who cares nothing for her real fans. How dare she get paid for performing.

Me and my posse will point out that she is a paid entertainer and her getting paid by one party to do this private gig is in no way different than 10,000 people paying her to do an arena gig.

Well, that preculded a lot of bandwith on this topic :laugh:

Seriously, thanks for posting!!!!!!So many posse's, so little time. hank god at least you didnt say pussy.:laugh:

[amber]

I agree.

:p
The bottom line to me is that I'm not the boss of her, nothing I say will make a difference in what she does anyway, and if people offered me money to sing, I would, because I love to sing. And Stevie would too because she loves to sing, and it's her job.
