Make it Pretty

We're nailing down hair and makeup looks.  12 models in multiple sets, each with a unique store and designer point-of-view...it can be a little complicated.  So we're totally lucky to have SEVEN SALON and SWINK STYLE BAR supporting FASHION FIRST and helping to pull together cutting-edge looks.

We'll have a little beauty preview for you in a couple of weeks...but we just wanted to remind you to book your appointments for Sept 16th NOW. ;)
