Impressione Presents "Weekend of Beauty" Featuring 3 Days of Music and Raises Awareness for Healthy Living

The WoB events begin on Friday, September 26th, 2008 and conclude on Sunday, September 28th, 2008. This 72-hour event runs concurrently with Milan Fashion Week and and to benefit a good cause, The National Eating Disorder Foundation.  The event focuses on health and beauty in all shapes and sizes all over the world, as well as celebrating diversity in fashion, art, and music.

“It is all too easy to become trapped into preconceived notions of beauty, which threatens to harm the self-image, and can even result in dangerous, destructive, and extreme behaviors.” says JennyH GossipGirl of Impressione who adds, “An important mission of the Impressione Weekend of Beauty is to promote a healthy lifestyle and raise awareness of at-risk behaviors -- eating disorders in particular.”

An eclectic variety of music will be playing during the entire WoB event from many SL DJs (house, dance, lounge and world music) and live singers.  Highlights include singers/musicians Jonas Lunasea, Maximillion Kleene, Keely Lutrova and DJs Azu and Kromus Korobase.

WoB also includes live streamed music by DJs and musicians, two fashion shows, a freebie treasure hunt, info/donation kiosks for NEDA, and plenty of places to wander and enjoy the view.
