POETRY In The RAW!

POETRY IN THE RAW: COVERED

For the second year in a row local poets are going raw. It's the annual fundraiser for the Victoria Slam Team: bigger, better, and just as naked! Come out and support as local poets bare their souls...and a whole lot more!

Come see some the most inspiring spoken word show of the year.

Poetry in the Raw is a fundraiser. It will help Peters, Thompson, Kristy, and one other poet raise cash to compete in a national poetry slam competition in Calgary, held in November as part of the Canadian Festival of the Spoken Word. (Victoria hosts the Canadian Festival of the Spoken Word in 2009, by the way. )

Evening free, a night out! "Slam poets" who recite at open-mic poetry performances at Solstice. The series, happening every second and fourth Thursday of the month, is called Tongues of Fire.

"I had such a great night! The Hair Garden Salon was a sponsor for the Poetry in the Raw and I would have to say I have never felt so moved, emotional, and free!
"First time for me attending an evening of Poetry, and I am hooked"

"When the poet is nude, she said, the body becomes an integral part of the performance."

"Amazing, gut wrenching, liberating, therapeutic and absolutely wonderful"

Missie Peters and Steven J. Thompson will be doffing their duds to read their poetry. How does it feel? "Unbelievably empowering," says Peters, whose day job is working as a government public relations officer.

Thank you Barbara for believing in me! Wedding hair 2008!

Barbara and I met at the Sidney Pier Hotel on the day of her wedding. We hit it off immediately, started to talk about the universe and the law of attraction. I am so grateful to have met such a warm, and generous person! Barbara surprised me with a fountain that I absolutely fell in love with when I worked at the Pier hotel for a friend while she needed some help. I briefly mentioned that I loved the spa's fountain. Barbara put that little piece of information away in her mind. In about a week when I went to the spa to pick up my check, their was the fountain wrapped up waiting for me. Barbara bought the same fountain for my Hair Garden Salon. I was speechless! Thank you Barbara for believing in me!

Here are some more wedding photo's!

Here are some more wedding pictures of my wonderful client and friend! We all had so much fun on that special day!

"I LOVE WEDDING HAIR!"

Do I ever love wedding hair! So many people ask me why do you love wedding hair? Do you get many Bridzilla's? Isn't wedding hair the most stressful time for everyone?
My answer to all these questions is I love everything about wedding hair! If the bride is freaking out all I do is ask them how did you meet your fiancee? I just get their mind focused on their relationship. I also generally see them a week before, so I can do a consult with them and create the perfect wedding style for their special day! I think what I like most about wedding hair is that I create a masterpiece, a one and only style that is for you and you only, for your special day! I will travel to your home or hotel, I am a portable wedding stylist! See you on your wedding day!
