Last night was a wonderful meal in Tony Hsieh's loft where the speakers got a chance to introduce themselves and meet each other. This sign was part of the art. I like it!

Downtown Project: Day 1 with Heidi, Feetish Spa Parlor and Lil Art Bodega

Hello Gorgeous from the Ogden in Downtown Las Vegas!
I am hear on the Downtown Speaker Series and also teaching a makeup workshop.
Can you say, excited?

Today was the first day and it is not over yet!

Here is my first meeting outfit: simple dress, belt to match my cowboy boots-yes, I had  to bring a little Arizona with me!

Next, Heidi, the "positivity pixie" and Rainbow Bright'est ever tour guide. She has so much information about what is going on down here and I have so many questions!  In this photo we are in the collective work space/art space-so it smells heavenly with fresh coffee and looks beautiful with the current month's art installment!

Under the Dome is over-now what? Come see me at The Stitch Factory on Friday 2 pm

 Well hello Gorgeous,
Sigh, Under the Dome is over. Can you believe it? The book, was by far better. Though, the tv series caught my attention for the summer and now I just may tune in next season, but no promises.

Now, the winner for our Twitter party giving away a Vaseline Spray & Go moisturizer has been notified and mass congrats to the soft skin they are about to get!

Finally, put me on your calendar for Las Vegas this Friday September 20th at The Stitch Factory.

From 2-4 pm I will be teaching a makeup workshop: The first hour is a structured lesson and the second hour is a free for all to answer and teach the burning beauty questions! This workshop is free to attend, so come on down to:

Stitch Factory, 300 N. Las Vegas Blvd. and RSVP here!

SXSW V2V: The Gold Spike Party & Chic CEO speaks this morning

Good Morning Gorgeous!
Oh it is a great day to be in Las Vegas! The SXSW V2V event is in full swing and building steam. Yesterday's opening and inaugural day was jam packed with speakers, panels and hands on event training that is producing our next wave of technology.

A highlight was the keynote meeting with Zappo's Tony Hsieh who taughts us two new 'isms.
ROC and ROL - return on community and return on luck. His entire talk was on the building of community and demonstrated what is going on in Fremont East, the
 area of down town Las Vegas that he is investing  in as a 'start up' city.

Now here is what you need to know: you  can  follow the events on Twitter by using #SXSWV2V

Be reading this morning for Chic CEO Stephanie Burns, the beautiful blonde in the photo with me below; she is speaking on the importance of Angel Investors-good times ahead!

 SXSW V2V is being held at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, let's just say it has flavor.  In this next photo I'm with one of my favorite new 'startups' at SXSW V2V, it's called Pop.Co and it makes the front page of website happen in a moment on a smart phone. It's so easy! Visit www.pop.co and get started!

 

SXSW is known for jam packing a day, but then the night gets even busier! The day for V2V moved from the Cosmopolitan via bus to the Downtown Las Vegas Fremont East area that Tony Hsieh of Zappo's is investing in as a 'startup' city. Learn more here: http://downtownproject.com/

 

The evening party for all the Party Pugs moved to the Gold Spike which is a revitalized casino space in down town Las Vegas. All the gaming has been gutted and now it's a huge fun space: part bar, part diner, part  oversized lawn games. It was so much fun. The food was good too! The jewelry photo is of a local artist who is part of the Downtown Project.

Here I am at the Gold Spike and now I've moved parties, from Tony Hsieh's Tech Cocktail to the Chic CEO XX pool party. It was supposed to be held at Stitch, the fashion tech center that is being funded by the Downtown Project but the head count got too big and had to be moved to the pool.

 I love vintage neon signs, like this one for Gold Spike. I must say, even though it's a 'bad' area geographically, it has a good vibe.

Ok, a party is not a party til something gets broke or someone goes in the pool. It did not take long for someone to go to the pool. BARE Cocktail mixers were on hand along with HINT water providing libations. Liberal libations.  Both of those companies are woman owned and run! Go XX!

See you at SXSW V2V today!
