2011-10-25T20:24:00.001-04:00

Thank you to all the fabulous TBB ladies that came out last week to the event we co-hosted with Pari Beauty.

There was fabulous food, a fun group of ladies and we learned all about Pari Beauty from one of the co-founders Sean and their account manager Andrea. They brought a whole range of products for us to play with and we even walked away with some very generous goodies!

Here are some pictures from the event.

Ladies Night with the Toronto Raptors

2010-03-16T10:53:00.003-04:00

This message is brought to you by the lovely Davida :)

Hi ladies,

If you didn't already know, I'm an active Raptors fan and season ticket holder.

Because I'm such an awesome fan :) I've been given the opportunity to get my own "section" in the Air Canada Centre for a couple of upcoming games and was thinking we could brand it the beauties in red section or something.

The tickets would be $35 each and would include a tour of the ACC and a chance to go court side before the game with a possibility of even getting jerseys! The seats are pretty good too - in the 100's.

I thought it could maybe be a fun thing to do as a group. The idea is to all wear red lipstick to the game to not only stand out but show our support to the Raps. Anyone can enjoy a game, even if you're not a crazy fan like me!

xoxo
Davida

Below are the details:
Date: Wed April 7th 2010 Raptors vs Boston
Time: Game starts at 7:00pm we will most likely meet outside the gates between 6pm-6:30pm
Who: All us ladies and all our lady friends!
What: 100 level seat tickets, chance to go court side and possible jersey giveaways!
Where: Air Canada Center downtown Toronto
Cost: $35 per ticket.

Update:
The price of the tickets to the game April 7th 2010 has been confirmed at $35ea, if you would like to attend this event please email Davida at dgragor@gmail.com asap to purchase your tickets as they will go fast and there are a limited # of tickets available.

Everyone is welcome!
Thanks

Kelly Cutrone Book Signing @ Eaton Centre

2010-03-10T14:52:00.000-05:00

A few of us are heading down to Indigo at the Toronto Eaton Centre this coming Monday March 15th for the launch of If You Have to Cry, Go Outside by PR powerhouse Kelly Cutrone. Book signing to follow at 7:00 PM.

You all probably know her from her role on The Hills as Whitney & Lauren's boss at Peoples Revolution, the one who tried to play match maker for Whit or the one who fired Stephanie Pratt after only a few days on the job but here's a little more about Ms Kelly Cutrone.

Kelly Cutrone has long been mentoring women on how to make it in one of the most competitive industries in the world. She has kicked people out of fashion shows, forced some of reality television's shiny stars to fire their friends, and built her own company-one of the most powerful PR firms in the fashion business-from the ground up. Through it all, she has refused to be anything but herself.

Kelly writes in her trademark, no-bullshit style, combining personal and professional stories to share her secrets for success without selling out. Let's face it: this is a different world than the one in which our mothers grew up, and Kelly has created a real girl's guide to making it in today's world. Offering a wake-up call to women everywhere, she challenges us to stop the dogged pursuit of the "perfect life" and discover who we are and what we really want. Then she shows us how to go out there and get it. Much of our culture teaches us to muzzle our inner voice and follow the crowd; Kelly enables us to stop pretending and start truly living.

With chapters on how to find your tribe (those like-minded souls who make your heart sing), how sometimes a breakdown is really a breakthrough, and how there is no such thing as perfection, Kelly also shares practical advice, such as how to create a personal brand and how sometimes you have to fake it to make it.

Raw, hilarious, shocking, but always the honest truth, If You Have to Cry, Go Outside calls upon you to gather up your courage like an armful of clothes at a McQueen sample sale and follow your soul wherever it takes you. Whether you're just starting out in the world or looking to reinvent yourself, If You Have to Cry, Go Outside will be the spark you need to figure out what you have to say to the world-and how you're going to say it.

Whoever can make it and would like to join us are welcome :)

So now.... Who's in??

ps- you don't have to be a blogger to join us we all love meeting new people so the more the merrier!!
