the short version...Fashion Takes Flight aftermath

What an event!

For those of you who missed it, you really missed out...

Full house of beautiful people, great food & amazing entertainment!
The style theme was Mad Men meets Gossip Girl....late 1950s meshed with 2010...with lots of scarves, headbands, hats & tights of all kinds!  Not a bare foot to be seen!

Here's a peak of what you missed out on - there were soo many pictures, I could only select a few to post...











 







There were 27 looks that went down the runway while the talented musicians played amazing red grand pianos that were on a lifted stage in the middle of Red Piano's massive beautiful venue - they did such a great job!  (As they always do!)

It was a packed house, reservations were all taken up.  The crowd had such a fun vibe!













Thanks to everyone who made it out to the event - it's you that allows us to do what we do!
If you'd like to see more pictures go to Black & Bold's Facebook page...
Thank you Strictly Photonic for doing a great job once again!



A really big thanks to the Alexander Daniel Team & their always fabulous hair & makeup!




Hugs for all my models who volunteered their time & their pretty faces!




High fives out to Red Piano!
It was so fun to do a show with live music!  Especially when the talent is as good as this!
Next time you are wanting to do something fun with a group of friends, I highly recommend booking yourself a table.
Why??....
"One of the best tasting steaks I've had in this city! Over-all the whole event was really well done." -According to my dad. 
"The best variety of live music from rap to oldies!  It was just too good to focus on one thing!! The food was amazing! From the meal to my dessert!" According to my mom.  
These two are anyones biggest critics, trust me, I know.
Thanks mom for taping the show....oh wait, you didn't cuz you FORGOT TO TURN THE POWER ON. 
*sigh, parents.



Stay tuned for the next event *cough*(November) - you really don't want to miss out on the fun we have!!!
Like I said, check out Red Piano, Strictly Photonic & Alexander Daniel!  They do what they do extremely well...

& don't forget to come by to see me!  
I've got sales going on & lots of new stock in!
I had to bring in boxes (yes, plural) of plastic hangers to get everything out!
The tables & shelves are over flowing with new accessory treats!

if I can have any impact...

Well, it's been a very busy week!  Model fittings, new shipments & a visit from Owen!  
Owen & I had a great time doing 'paperwork' - stapling any piece of paper within hands reach, punching a few numbers on the calculator, pen squiggle, stamp it & on to the next!  
He's a great little helper.

The Fashion Takes Flight show at Red Piano is coming up quick!   All the models are fitted & I'm getting all organized.  Which means I type out each models assemble & a drawing.  I know, a little excessive but this is how I operate. If it isn't done this way by the deadline I set - I get cranky.
I got cranky, ladies & gents, I got very cranky.
Think we are back to normal & on track again now.  I've got 27 models lined up for the show.  Alexander Daniel came in for the hair & make-up meeting - I'm very happy with the look they have come up with & the over-all vibe for the show!

 A little sneak peak of what you will see:

Don't forget to book your table - These events fill up fast!
