Each successful initial bidder receives an invitation to have
dinner at PASTINA in Westwood California with Michelle Phillips and her friends at her
favorite restaurant in September 2021. Winning bidders can
each bring one guest. Dinner will be hosted and attended by
the members of ViciNFT.
Regarding the auction, Michelle
Phillips said: "I am delighted to be able to help so many
children through these auctions."
Bill Gladstone, Partner in
ViciNFT Corporation, said: "Michelle represents the essence of
the California musical and cultural transformation of the
1960s, which has impacted the world for more than 50 years." He
added, "These NFTs will increase in value as icons of this
era."
While working as a model in San
Francisco, Michelle met and married John Phillips in 1962 and went on to co-found
the vocal group The Mamas and The Papas in 1965. The band rose to
fame with their popular singles "California Dreamin'" and "Creeque
Alley", both of which she co-wrote. Her original "California Girl"
memorabilia is digitized in a digital collectible, including her
original signature and a fabulous hand-drawn portrait of The Mamas
and The Papas, originally created by Lou
Adler in 1955. The NFT also includes a video of the
making of the drawing and signature, along with a dedicated message
to the winning bidder.
The Painted Turtle began as a dream in 1999
when Paul Newman, Page and Lou Adler and a group of dedicated
individuals, co-founded The Painted Turtle, a place where kids
with medical conditions can just be kids. Through the ongoing
commitment of these individuals, the dream of The Painted Turtle
became a reality. Michelle Phillips' beauty and attitude was
and is the image of the original 'California Girl', and the
harmony she has brought to the world through her involvement in
music is matched only by the kindness she has shown for those in
need. Fortunately, The Painted Turtle is one of the recipients of
that kindness.
Adler signed The Mamas & The Papas to Dunhill,
producing six top-five hits for the group, including "California
Dreamin'" and "Monday, Monday."
