Host Jessica Koussevitzky put on her heels, grabbed her purse, and caught up with some of the supporters for a day of high-class pampering. One of its most worthwhile events of the season, local breast cancer charity organization Glam-a-Thon, has teamed up with the Gallery of Amazing Things to host its annual Lipstick Lounge. Lipstick Lounge is one of Glam-a-Thon’s signature fundraiser, which incorporates cocktails, cosmetics, confections, and couture to raise money for the Broward Health Foundation. All funds raised help underinsured and uninsured women in the South Florida area receive early diagnostic testing and mammograms, while those battling breast cancer receive financial aid, transportation, Medebras, and other vital lifestyle needs. And who doesn’t like to be pampered? Ladies basked in utter relaxation in the luxury Beauty Bar, while the gentlemen retreated into the Man Cave the Big Boys Toy Chest for their own pampering. To completely satisfy cravings, guests sampled delectable treats from culinary superstars. As the finishing touch, all guests walked away with quintessential swag bags, which were filled with fashion, food, and beauty souvenirs.
If you missed the Lipstick Lounge don’t worry you can come out to the Glam Doll Strut Oct 18, 2014 and strut your stuff.
