I'm giving away two VIP tickets to NYC's hottest Halloween bash at the Maritime Hotel's Hiro Ballroom


 Happy Halloween Everyone!

It's that time of the year again
when
 creativity comes creeping
out for Halloween festivities.


 I'm brewing
a magic spell over here

to
 NYC's hottest Halloween Costume Ball!

HIro Ballroom in New York City
The Who and What? 
Ok, here's the skinny... 
Many of you know about my favorite charity
 I am a board member and happy to help wherever needed
because this non-profit is making huge leaps
to help children with brain differences.
Flawless has its hands in many projects
but we are raising money
 with
this Halloween bash 
for a special partnership between Flawless and
another non-profit organization
 to
 bring yoga to NYC inner city schools
Read my August post about this partnership.


So, what's not to love? 
 a  raucus, fun-filled Halloween party that promises
to be
this year's hottest event in NYC 
and the proceeds go to a very worthwhile cause.

 We will all don our favorite costumes,
dance the night away
with Aera Dance, take in a  
 special performance by Kitty Cavalier Burlesque
&  appearances from 
The Fabulous Subscribettes
But, gosh Flawless founder Janine Francolini needs a good,
no not good,
fabulous mask -
something creative and fun


What should you do? 

 spend a few minutes (maybe on Google),
find a peacock-inspired mask for sale 
(Flawless' mascot is a peacock) --
send along the information/link
on how to purchase it
for Janine to wear to the party. 

Post a link of where to purchase
this mask with a photograph of it on  
the Flawless Foundation's Facebook wall
HERE 

The Contest ends next Sunday  
If Janine chooses your mask,
she'll buy it and wear it to the party,
you will win
 2 VIP tickets
 to join us
 for an evening of fun and celebration.  
  the peacock is the inspiration for Janine's mask

Now,
get out of here
and win those tickets
then,
get your face painted
And don't forget your dancing shoes...

I'll announce the winner right here on Nest  
Sunday, October 23rd
I'm keeping my
finger's crossed
for you!
