Cuban Food, Haircuts, Mixey-Mixey
I think it's fairly well-known by now that two topics that I feel passionately about are: Cuban food and progressive hair design. This almost goes without saying. So, it's intriguing that this e-mail (which includes the phrase "open bar") lands in my in-box, compliments of the one-and-only Dwight Carter:
Rockuniform, V-Vegaz and Mirasol join together to launch Stylin Industry Night.
Stylin' Industry night will be every Sunday starting with the Kickoff on June 4th! There will be an open bar from 9-10 sponsored by V-Vegaz. The rest of the night will be happy hour prices on beer and selected specialty drinks. There will be a small fashion show early in the night featuring a local designer. 'Stylin' was created to recognize the professionals who create style and glamour. Salons and stylist will get a chance to mingle with others in their industry. Salons, students, magazine stylists, product reps and make-up artists will be invited.
Dwight Carter, founder of Rockuniform, started his PR firm after organizing a designer contest for Fash-n-Bash at the Pageant in October, 2005. Since then, Dwight has been involved in Hairball and Venus Envy in addition to several trunk shows and charity events. Dwight signed on his first two clients, Mirasol and V-Vegaz, in March. You can also see him as a personal shopper at Ziezo in the U-City Loop!
V-Vegaz (6174 Delmar, St. Louis MO 63112), though best known for their skill with curly hair, have also mastered the art of cut, color and extensions. Their stylists have worked with local and national celebrities in the world of print, television and fashion design. Opened in August of 2005, V-Vegaz has been featured in several local magazines, as well as fashion and hair shows such as Fash n Bash and Hairball. V-Vegaz provides a progressive salon experience with vintage decor and energetic tunes to stimulate your senses. Future plans include a trip to Amsterdam for the World Hair Competition in November.
Mirasol (6144 Delmar, St. Louis, MO 63112) captures the unique flavors of Cuba, Central and South America with their fabulous dishes. This Loop restaurant also offers a tasty range of cocktails to compliment the exotic flavors delivered up by the kitchen. Mirasol has been featured in Sauce, The St. Louis Post Dispatch, and Alive Magazine. With their recent expansion, they now offer a private dining room that is perfect for parties, corporate events and rehearsal dinners.
Please RSVP your name and company to Dwight @ Dwight@rockuniform.com. Deadline is June 2nd.
