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.

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

Seriously, thanks for posting!!!!!!

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.

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.

Here it comes.

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.
