Scarlett's Makeovers

My little corner of CT made it through Sandy relatively unscathed, and I feel very fortunate about that.  There's still power, and no major damage in my neighborhood.  My thoughts are with those that weren't so lucky, and I hope things can return to normal for them as soon as possible.

I've gotten a lot of questions about my Halloween Open House, and yes, I'm still planning on having it.  Anyone interested in coming is welcome, just email or call me at (860) 965-5125 to RSVP.  

Just a reminder that I'm having another open house on Halloween!  Get some extra mileage out of your Halloween costume, or just enjoy some time in your favorite outfit.  As always, you are welcome to change here, and there is no charge for coming to hang out.  Please RSVP though so I can have enough snacks and seats for everyone, and send you directions if you need them!

So I come home from a fantastic time down south at SCC, and find that autumn has come and sprinkled leaves all over my lawn.  I'm glad I got a last hoorah in summer with all the gals in Atlanta.  Will post pics soon :)

Of course the plus side is that there's plenty of T-friendly events to go to as the weather cools off.  This coming Friday is my open house, followed by Halloween themes a-plenty.  I'm really looking forward to October this year, even though I've got a bit of creative block on a costume so far.  Any suggestions are welcome though!

SCC is literally around the corner of this week, and I've only got a few spots left open for the conference.  If you're interested, please contact me as soon as possible!  I've got spots open for Thursday 9/20, Friday 9/21, and Saturday 9/22.

As mentioned before, I'm holding a social for the Friday after SCC, 9/28.  I'm taking appointments for that day as well, though a makeover is not required for you to come enjoy yourself for the day.  Come as early as 10am, stay as late as 8pm, and enjoy coffee, snacks, and conversation in between!  Please RSVP so I can plan according to the number of attendees, and so I can give you directions.

Glamour Boutique has announced details for their Halloween party on 10/12.  It will be held at the Indian Meadows Country Club in Westborough, MA from 8pm until 1am.  For those that have not been to Indian Meadows, it is a classy venue with the added benefit of being very private and away from the road, with plenty of parking.  I am unable to attend the actual party, but will be doing makeovers all day and into the evening at a nearby hotel (most like the Motel 6 that is about half a mile away).  If you are interested in a time slot, please let me know as early as possibly, as I tend to fully book up for any Halloween event.

Will post updates when I'm back from Atlanta, and if anyone will be at SCC, please come by my table and say hi!

With fall in the air, I'm sad to know another summer has slipped by with not nearly enough hours spent on the beach.  However, it also means there are some exciting events coming up soon!  In just over two weeks, I'll be in Atlanta for my third Southern Comfort Conference.  SCC is a wonderful event, drawing over 900 transpeople and supporters, and I'm so glad to make it down there again. 

At SCC, I'll be available Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in the vending area.  This year I'm not only offering makeovers, but also a Princess Package which includes makeover, stick-on nails, and a gift bag including your lipcolor for touch-ups.  I've already started booking for the event, so please email or call to reserve a time with me!

The week after SCC, on September 28, I'll be holding another open house in my studio.  At the August 1st open house, about eight people came to enjoy good conversation, picture-taking, and snacks.  Based on the fun everyone had, I'm aiming to arrange an open house every month for people to come hang out in a safe, relaxed atmosphere. 

Some things to know about the open house.  It is basically a daytime event, running 10am-8pm, though you can come and go as you want or need to.  There is no "cover charge" to attend, and though I'm available for makeovers on the day, scheduling an appointment is not a prerequisite to coming.  There are light refreshments throughout the day, and private areas to change here if you'd like.  All that I ask is an RSVP so I can be prepared for seating and refreshments.

Lots of events coming up in October and November as well, but more on those later.  For now, enjoy the long weekend!
