Anne, Love, and Friends - The Celebration of 22 Career Years of Designer Anne Avantie

The show absolutely got hotter, when Anne Avantie's friends who were designers came on stage. They with other models played act to buy batik clothings from old ladies who sell on the street in traditional ways. Nycta Gina and Indra Bekti gave surprise the audience by bringing bicycle on stage. They were so funny by making hilarious movement. During that attractive act, Judika Idol delightfully sang "Candu Asmara" song that successfully gave the "beat" on the stage.
