My model debut...a.k.a Trash the Dress Contest!

So it's official!! I'm never going to be a model, but I did have the chance to be one for a recent shoot for a trash the dress contest. I definitely have a new found respect for all you models out there, it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. However, I was pleased that my dress still fit, 5 years and 2 babies later:)! The contest is being put on by Tampa Wonderworks and Confetti Events and will include everything from pictures by Carrie Wildes Photography to flowers to hair (by yours truly) and makeup. All for FREE!! So if you have that wedding dress and you don't know what to do with it, enter the contest, it'll be a blast!

WHY: What is a “Trash the Dress” Session? It is a personalized photo and video shoot wherein you can creatively and memorably use your dress as art. This can also highlight your time as a married couple/family and give you a chance to get “all dolled up” just like your wedding day. This is about creation not destruction. It is also a great way to add something unconventional to your wedding album. Some examples include: burn it, wet it, paint it, wax it, trash it, Roll around in the mud, etc.

Why enter THIS contest? … Why not! You’ve made a commitment to your husband. He’s your one and only true love, right? Then you’ll never need the dress again. And no, your daughter won’t wear it in 20-30 years. So you have two choices:

1.Suffocate it in plastic and throw it in a closet
2.Show your husband how committed you are by trashing the dress, and get some great fun FREE pictures while you do it!

Glamour Event

As you all know I love the glamour! So the Red Carpet Glamour Event I participated in recently was right up my alley! I got to style the ladies hair, my dear friends Tamara Whittaker and Jessica Leigh did the makeup and pictures. For $30 you could get all done and a free 8x10 with the opportunity to purchase more! A stealin' deal! We will be doing another one at Cheval in the summer and possibly one in August at another location. So ladies keep an eye on the blog for that, cuz it is well worth the $30! Above is the group shot we took that day, too fun!! Thanks ladies, can't wait to do it again!

Brow before Beauty

Eyebrows are something to think about before your wedding or special event. You want to make sure you have a nicely shaped brow that compliments your face and eye shape. You never want to get them wax within a day or too of your event. Make sure to do it about a week in advance just in case their should be any over waxing or dislike in the shape. Typically I would recommend not waxing your brow for the first time the week before the event. If it's your first time waxing, threading, tweezing, etc. Make sure to start the process at least a month ahead (if you have that kind of time). This will give sometime to assess the shape and before the final shaping. So make sure you shape your brow for a beautiful offset to a complementary makeup application! BTW, we do waxing or tweezing for your big day! Give us a call!

A Big Thank You!

A big "Thank You" goes out to the little dancers and moms at Bell Shoalts Baptist School!! We had a great time doing all the little dancers hair and makeup for their big performance. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to serve you all. It was a blast and I happened to watch some of the performance and they all did a fabulous job! We hope to see you again for the next recital. Sincerely,
Holly Nazario and The Hair Affair Team
