Can you believe we are already into December? The days are secretly creeping by. Last Tuesday was the first day of the month and also the kick off event for Hotel 1000's "Twelve Days of Comfort, Joy, & Cheer." Hotel 1000 started the month off early with a gathering that offered VIP Guests specialty cocktails, festive appetizers from BOKA KITCHEN + BAR, as well as an opportunity to pre-bid on fabulous auction items such as: A Premiere Napa Valley travel experience, Destination packages to luxury hotels, Private dinner experiences with local chefs, Fine Art, and a trip to see Oprah. They also enjoyed a fashion show that was emceed by Lily Jang, co-anchor for Q13 FOX News This Morning, and Shawn Stewart, midday host and music director for 103.7 The Mountain. Not only did people get to mingle, listen to the great dj, sip on cocktails & bid on luxury items, but they were giving back at the same time. The luxury boutique hotel had selected Art with Heart as the recipient of the proceeds. Isn't that what the Holidays are for, giving back?

If you were not able to make the kick off event, don't worry, there are eleven more events left. Come check them out here.

Also, throughout the month of December, Hotel 1000 will be offering guests a 12 Days Shopping Passport, inviting them to shop at a variety of boutiques and specialty retailers in the hotel’s West Edge neighborhood, while giving back to the community. Each boutique will donate 12 percent of all purchases generated from the Passport Program to Art With Heart.

The passport includes a range of retailers inviting guests to find one-of-a-kind holiday party attire, along with specialty gifts from local retailers. This year’s participating retailers include: BoConcept Seattle, Buckets at Harbor Steps, Encanto Barcelona, Far 4, The Finerie, Hästens, Hotel 1000 Lobby Shop, Jack Straw, The Legacy Ltd., Le Marcel Specialty Bakery for Dogs, Liave, Light Matters, RE Welch Galleries, Sandylew, Scandia Jewlers, Spaahh at Hotel 1000, Totokaelo and Watson Kennedy. All retailers in the program are located within walking distance of the hotel.

If an item is purchased at any of the 12 Days retailers, the Passport carrier will receive a stamp. Once three or more stamps are collected, the Passport is eligible to enter a drawing for a one night stay in Hotel 1000’s Grand Suite (valued at $5000). A winner will be chosen at random on New Year’s Eve.

BLOG MEET BLOG- SEATTLE,WA

Photos Taken by: Mike Adams Photography

Blogs were uniting, amalgamating, mixing, bonding, connecting, all of these terms could have been used to describe the frenzy of the converging bloggers during last nights Blog Event held in cozy Seattle, WA.

What a wonderful idea to bring together people with the same interests. Everyone had the desire to express their own unique ideas, and make those ideas come alive in the form of a blog. Not only did the event attract other bloggers, but the event was fortunate enough to welcome non-bloggers, photographers, social media, and last, but not least, the food vendors, such as Qdoba, which supplied a fantastic array of tasty tidbits, along with Mike’s Hard Lemonade, dry soda, and the ever tantalizing, tasty, Trophy cupcakes!

One of the big attractions of the evening that everyone looked forward to was the drawing for wonder gifts donated by Shopruche, Modcloth, SPUN, Hazel Salon, Moo Cards, & Value Village.

Lets thank the two wonderful bloggers, Clothes Horse & Needle+Thread for an amazing evening. We can’t wait until the next event.

Fashion First 6^th Annual Fashion Show—an event at the Heart of Fashion to benefit the Starlight Children’s Foundation

Fashion First was a night of “transformation”—a description used by Oslo’s men’s boutique owner John A. McDowell.

The large space of Quest Field Events Center became an exquisite venue for Seattle’s premier fashion event . Once the lights dimmed and the people began to arrive, Joan Kelly & Wendy Wood’s vision became reality.

The two fashion show producers made sure to give Seattle its fill of glitz and glamour. Cameras flashed, sequined fashions glimmered, $15,000 worth of Alvin Goldeare’s designer jewelry sparkled with grand attention, and wine glasses clinked in celebration of an incredible night.

Beautiful models shone down the runway featuring attire from La Ree, Clutch, Merge, Mercer, Tatters, Ragamoffyn’s, The Finerie, and designs by winners of Seamless in Seattle.

For even more excitement, Fashion First invited Seattle celebrities to model attire from Oslo’s men’s boutique. Politicians, TV reality stars, Radio talk show hosts, weathermen, and sports stars were transformed into models who gave their audience an impressive performance.

Fashion First was an incredible evening featuring Seattle’s finest. Not only was the Quest Field Event’s Center (Seattle,WA) transformed for an evening, but so too will lives be changed by the proceeds that benefit the Starlight Children’s Foundation.

Getting an insider look from behind the scenes at Thursday’s “Glitter Gala” event felt like being on fast forward. Getting the opportunity to start from behind the scenes. Robert Lenard Hair Salon invited us to see the preparation that went into preparing over 40 models for the event. For both parties, the models and the salon gave up their time to support a wonderful cause, the Glitter Gala event.

After getting the chance to meet and mingle with the wonderful people at the salon, we continued on to the event. The Sheraton Hotel in downtown Seattle, welcomed us through their golden doors to a glitz and glamour setting. With the lights on dim and many well-dressed folks holding their wine, the atmosphere felt as if you where in an old fashion film!

The theme of the fashion show was, ‘Fashion in Films’. The event planning, from concept to finished product took about a year to produce, and boy was it evident. Each piece was purchased from a goodwill store. It was great to see real people walking the runway, having a great time strutting their look-a-like character from a film. The Seattle art Institute was also a contributor to the event, the students had $75 from a goodwill store to create a garment; the winners were show cased at the end of the show. Surrounded by the runway, countless tables were served 5 star dishes.

Great Job Glitter Gala event! Beauty Revolution Magazine will be back next year!

Beauty Revolution attended its first tweetup event. Not only was it a tweetup event, but a trickortweetup event where we dressed up and saw lady gaga, a robot, and a peacock, oh my! It was nice meeting the faces behind different social networking groups (blogs, twitter, etc.) while supporting a wonderful cause. Among all the fairy-tale and goblin characters, we saw a ton of people sprouting mustaches thanks to Century Novelty, fighting pediatric cancer one stache at a time, www.mustachesvscancer.org.

Delicious foods were spread out, the music choices just right, the raffle simply divine and the drinks, supplied by two vendors were uniquely different. Elemental Vodka introduced us to their high-quality organic spirits manufactured by sustainable production practices, and Pike Brewery, with assortments of delicious beers, including their signature “pumpkin pie” in a bottle- yum!

Special thanks to hotel max, wishpot, and everyone else that contributed!

WHAT DO YOU CRAVE?

Credit: Barbie Hull Photography 

What an event! Last week I was invited to model for the CRAVE party (sold out) event.  My friend, and hopefully one day business partner (cross my fingers lol), Carly Holtzinger, who I must say is quite the woman, is an intern for CRAVE and organized the fashion aspect of the show. The night was charming under the stars of the Tetro Zinzanni tent, the food was delicious, and the people; divine.

A group of diverse and creative vendors displayed their wonderful creations. The time and energy put into these pieces made by their own hands, has so much more value to me then a prefab item. 

I had the opportunity to wear a “Labor of Love” by Tuzzie Muzzies. What is a Tuzzie Muzzies? Tuzzie Muzzies are beautifully detailed hats and masks. Being at Tetro Zinzanni for the event (cirque du soleil vibe), it was only right to have these little trinkets on our heads. I had a chance to interview the milliners of Tuzzie Muzzie about where and how they are made. What an education—check them out!

Unique Party Hats Handmade
in Seattle     

1.)   How long have you been creating these detailed masterpieces?

                 We are both milliners that began tuzzie muzzie in 1999.  That is when we were appro

ached by a local restaurant to create party hats for their New Years Eve celebration.  We got so many calls from the restaurant that night we had to go in business. 

 

2.)   Who or what was your inspiration?

We are inspired by hats throughout history.  We think of tuzzie muzzie as a dollop of glam for everyone.

3.)   How long does it take to make one hat?

That is a hard question to answer, it all depends on the inspiration.

4.)   Do you do custom hats or masks?

We do make custom hats and masks, all you need to do is ask.

5.)   How can we purchase them?

You can purchase them through our website at http://www.tuzziemuzzie.com/ or visit one of these 

stores, Crackerjack in Wallingford, WA, Around the Block in Magnolia,WA, Horseshoe in Ballard,WA, or City Flowers in Bellevue,WA
