Happy New Year

Jan 1, 2011


I would like take this opportunity to say thank you to all of our supporters, fans, customers and readers who have made 2010 such a memorable year. Without your help Goldgenie would not be where it is today and it’s because of each of you we continue to grow and succeed.  As you surround yourself with family and friends to celebrate the ending of this year and welcome the next, us at Goldgenie would like to wish all of you a very happy holiday season and a prosperous New Year. We know that 2011 will bring bigger and better things, and we have all of you to thank.

Warm regards,

~Laban Roomes

The event was organized by the founders of ABC named after their initials (Aimee Vermaelen, Bouchra Van Persie and Carla Fabregas) for SOS Children’s Charity.  One of the many items auctioned off was a 24ct. Gold iPod donated by Laban Roomes of Goldgenie which had Robin Van Persie, Seb Fabregas, Thomas Vermaelen, signatures laser engraved onto the back ~ auction prized organized by Ask Godders.

The event was attended by Thierry Henry and members of the Arsenal football team where they bid generously for items such as Rafael Nadal’s tennis racket which fetched £6,000 and other items such as diamonds, pearls and luxury holidays also went for vast sums of money providing life changing donations to this organization.

Laban Roomes said during an interview with SKY “Our donation of this 24ct. Gold iPod is in line with our Bling with Benefits program where we look to create limited edition products to raise money for good causes” – Bling with Benefits created by Laban Roomes was founded when he designed 900 limited edition Starburst iPods for superstar Sir Elton John AIDS Foundation – raising much needed cash for people living with and affected by HIV and AIDS.

From time to time you have to let your hair down, so that’s exactly what I did.  At the Nobu Restaurant Black Hair Awards, I was in good company.  But I must admit, I have misplaced all the names of the lovely people I met, which is the main reason why I have not named anyone, please forgive me. However, each one of you beautiful models made the night so enjoyable, thank you.

But next year, we are launching some exciting new products and some modeling vacancies will be available.  If you would like the opportunity to work with us, please email our sales team at sales@goldgenie.com.

God bless you all.
