At 1:29pm I entered the Arctic Club Hotel, not knowing what to expect. I'd been there before for a wedding (years ago) and remembered the Dome Rome vividly, but today was different. I was going to be part of a cause that I hope will spread nation wide.
The Charity Event: Get Hitched, Give Hope; a bridal event that raises money to help stage four breast cancer victims fulfil their wishes.
I was greeted off of the elevator by a nice guy who immediately asked, "One of the models?" and then escorted me to room 311. A room buzzing with action already. Liz Navarro, The Gown Diva, was laying out the beautiful jewels that we'd be wearing with our gowns. Kat, another model, was having her make up done by Karen. And Erin and Chelsea of Bellatrix Studio were ready to make our hair fabulous! A couple of things about these two women: 1) Erin was pregnant and literally due tomorrow! She was beautiful and without the baby bump in the front there would have been no signs of pregnancy on her body. She could have told me she was only 5 months and I would have believed her. 2) Chelsea was gorgeous and styled. Her hair was black with short cut bangs. She wore a litte pink sweater over a fitted black corset, a full black and white mini skirt with a petty coat underneath, pink fish-net stockings and pink, iguana cowboy boots from Australia. She represented the coolness of this Studio and the breast cancer cause beautifully! I was excited to see the transformation of me, the mom who had just spent an hour painting clay penguins with seven year old students, to whatever they were planning and I sat down for hair.
Liz showed the gown and jewelry that I'd be wearing to Erin. After a quick consultation with Chelsea, I was in the chair getting my glam on!
