Q and A for the ladies...
I have had a busy, yet wonderful day.
I just got home from another super fun dinner at Sushi Loca! In attendance were Ricky Gulati and John Sanchez from Memory Lane Video ,www.MLVNV.com ,the most amazing videographers in Las Vegas and soon to be the world. Director of Catering at Aliante Station and super Style Siren groupie, Shauna Lederman! And my one and only beauty and partner in crime, Lauren Gardiner. I love these people. We always have the best conversations and when it comes to advice and brainstorming, they are genius!
I am often asked several questions by ladies who contact me to inquire about our services so I thought I would "novel" real quick about them.
Q: Who are you and exactly what do you do?
A: The Las Vegas Style Sirens are a completely mobile beauty team consisting of hair stylists, makeup artists, estheticians, massage therapists, and nail technicians. We come to your hotel room, home, or venue of choice and perform services that you would find in a salon and spa at your leisure.
Q: What makes your company different from the other companies in town?
A: The Las Vegas Style Sirens pride themselves on only hiring people who are licensed and/or trained in their specific craft. This means, if you book a hairdresser through us for your wedding day, you can rest assured that not only will they be licensed in cosmetology, they will also have trained with some of the most elite hair dressers in town and hold a position as a hair stylist at a high end salon here in Vegas where they are constantly practicing their craft. Also, when you book through the Las Vegas Style Sirens, we understand that your time is valuable and we will always keep that in mind. If you were to book us to do your hair and makeup for an event, we would not send just one person to do the work. We would be sure to send a professionally trained makeup artist, and a professionally trained and licensed cosmetologist to you so that they could work on you simultaneously and have you done in half the time instead of just one person doing your hair and then doing your makeup. If you are a bride with a large bridal party, we will be sure to send the correct amount of artists to your venue and have you finished and ready to go in a timely manner.
Q: Do you guys bring your own supplies, or will you use my stuff?
A: We will bring everything! That is the beauty of our services. All you have to do is make a simple phone call, set up an appointment, and we will show up with everything necessary to perform the services booked.
Q: How much do your services cost?
A: It depends on how many services you are booking and what services you are booking. If you call and speak with us directly, we will be able to give you a more accurate quote and explain our services in more detail.
Q: How far in advance do I need to book?
A: We do not have a deadline for appointments, however it is on a first come, first serve basis. It is better to book sooner than later to ensure you get the date that you are requesting.
Q: Do you guys only do weddings?
A: Absolutely not. We do all types of events such as in office events, fashion shows, birthdays, school dances, bachelorette parties, birthdays, personal consultations, spa parties etc. The possibilities are endless, and we are always willing to accommodate you for whatever you need. We are very flexible!
Q: Do you sell gift certificates?
A: We sure do! These make great gifts for bridal showers, birthdays, Christmas, or just to say thank you to someone. Everyone loves to be pampered!
Q: Do you offer packages?
A: Yes! Since all of our clients are different and have such different needs, all of our packages are custom built. We will work together with you to find the perfect package for any occasion, all you have to do is call and ask and we will make it happen!
Hope these help you guys!

Aloha!
Today Monet and I had the honor to work with a bride named Stacy Wood on her wedding. First of all let me say that Stacy is one of the sweetest people I have ever met! She is spunky, fun, and just a pleasure to be around.
Her wedding was a luau theme which was a dream! Stacy was open minded which made it easy for us to have fun and do something a little out of the ordinary. We did some non traditional color schemes with her makeup which were beautiful on her perfect olive skin, and we got to use some beautiful lime green Hawaiian flowers in her hair done by the famous Monet McRay (Monet also makes custom hair pieces and accessories called MuMo if anyone is interested. They are sold at Euphoria in Boca Park or you can email us and we will put you in contact with her.) Stacy is such a beautiful bride and person and Dave is a lucky guy!
Her daughter Krista is just a vision as well! Her skin is flawless (good genes run in this family, believe me! Stacy's mother is breathtaking as well.) and her hair is just as flawless. And her step daughter Jenny is hilarious and such a character.
I can not say enough good things about this group of ladies. We had a blast with them and it was so special to be part of this day with them. I cannot wait to see the wedding photos captured by none other than the amazing Wendhy Jeffers! (www.WendhyJeffers.com)
If you guys haven't been to Aliante Station yet, you seriously need to go. Now. The property is amazing. It is like a mini Red Rock. They have great food, an awesome pool with cabanas, movie theater AND the most amazing staff ever. Shauna in catering, Jewels in beverage, Elliot in nightlife, and Sterling in the Access Showroom, are just a few of the people who help make this place so fun and professional. If you ever need a venue for an event, or just a great place to have dinner and a movie, this is definitely a place to look into. I just love it there!!! (www.AlianteStation.com)
Today we booked a VIP event in November at Red Rock Station, and I can't wait to meet all of the incredible people up there and have the opportunity to work in their GORGEOUS spa!

Stealing the spotlight...
Lauren. You blogged. So what? No one even cares when you blog anymore. They would much rather hear from me because I am loyal and blog on a somewhat regular basis.
Just kidding. I'm obsessed with you. For all of you that don't know, we are PIC's. (Partners in crime) And Lauren, I am super happy you blogged today (especially considering the topic!) however I am seriously dying waiting to hear what little Miss Conservative has to say in her blog about Brazilian waxing. DYING! Literally lying.
For all of you who didn't catch Laurens blog yet...
OUR WEBSITE IS LAUNCHING AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, SEPTEMBER 16, 2009!!!
The excitement inside me is something I can not contain. This is our baby. We have built every little detail of this website by hand. Lauren and I have spent a countless number of hours over the past 8 months (Yes, you heard me correctly. EIGHT MONTHS!) perfecting this site. From the colors, to the pictures, to the font and size of the text, to the placement of the text, we designed it all! Snaps for Ally and Lauren!
I would seriously like to thank Jesse and Heather at www.PoshWebDesign.com for being so patient with us, respecting our vision, and putting so much work into all the little details we requested. Lauren and I were stalking them everyday and although they probably wanted to ring our pretty little necks, they remained kind and professional.
Please join us at midnight for our cyber launch party! Thanks for all of your love, support, and good wishes. We are so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and Style Siren Groupies! (Shauna and Monika... ;)

12 am on a Wednesday in the year 2009.
Holy freakin' hell! I think it has been a really long time since I blogged because I couldn't even remember the dang password to get in to post! And if you think that's funny Ally blogged on Friday ( or was it Thursday?) and she couldn't remember the password. We haven't even been drinking! Yet....
So I am here to announce the official launch of The Style Sirens website! www.lvstylesirens.com
It has been a long long time coming. It will be up on Wednesday September 16, 2009 at MIDNIGHT! Our web design team is working furiously to finish up last minute details because you know Ally and I don't do anything half assed and then it's DONE!!! This is a momentous event. I want to thank Heather and Jesse at Posh Web Design (www.poshwebdesign.com) for all their hard work. Especially Jesse because he's the flash guru over there and took the brunt of our B.S. He did an amazing job and if you need websites I wouldn't use anyone else!! Jesse is also a wiz at designing logos so check them out!!
By the way I would love to tell you all about the brazilian experience, but I need some time to think how to write about it without keeling over dead from sheer embarrassment. It is a humiliating experience that is chock full of flippin comedy, but I just can't do it right now.
So anyway please join Allyson and I at MIDNIGHT with your cocktail of choice for a party celebrating our new website! This definitely calls for a little Kim Crawford, but because Ally and I were buying so much of it they got a big head and raised the price $5 a bottle! Hello...Recession!! It's just to good not to purchase though. So thanks to us that beautiful New Zealand vineyard is still in business and pumping out a lovely profit. Hope they feel good about it. Cheers!!

TGIF
Excited
That is the only word that comes to mind right now. I just saw the final rough draft of our new website and I am so excited. It is amazing. There are just a few minor things that need to be updated and then it will be going LIVE! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA! Once again, a million thanks to Jessie and Heather at www.PoshWebDesign.com for making all of our dreams come true and for being patient with us. We are very, very picky, I know.
Moving on... I have to tell you a ridiculously funny story about a texting conversation I had with an anonymous person.
It started off by her and I talking about how her father forgot her birthday for the 2nd year in a row. (What a lame-o huh?) She proceeds to tell me about how he needs to get her an amazing gift to redeem himself from this situation, but unfortunately he is the worlds WORST gift-giver. (FYI diamonds and pearls are always an amazing place to start fellows...) Apparently he always gives gift cards to places like Home Depot and Best Buy for his daughter's birthdays. Kill me. I am laughing about the thought of how awkward this must be and telling her I am super sorry. (Wait! It gets better.) Then our conversation turned to this...
Friend: Well, that's not that bad. Lou (her husband) got me a clip on lamp and smooth away for my birthday. I wanted to hit him.
Ally: That is so funny. Is that what you asked for?
Friend: Ummm... Not hardly.
Ally: Wow. That's hilarious. Did you ask him what inspired him to purchase that for you?
Friend: I told him the other day that I wanted a PedEgg but he got it confused with Smooth Away. And the lamp is because I keep him awake when I am reading at night. Not ok at all. I also explained to him that just because I want a PedEgg does not mean I want it for my birthday.
Ally: I'm blogging about this later. This is to hilarious to pass up.
Friend: Well Lou says that birthdays are for practical gifts and Christmas is for big gifts. I disagree but if that is how he feels, I will give him a practical birthday gift this year like some paint for the outside of the house.
Ally: *thinks to herself* This is too good to be true. My blogging topic fell right into my lap through a simple texting conversation.
Friend: Oh, and I forgot to tell you that he also included a gallon of windshield cleaner to fill up my car.
The End
I'm seriously still laughing about that conversation. I hope it made your day as much as it did mine.
Anyway, we have had an amazing week. Superstar Karaoke, Girls Night Out event, body painting and preparations for all of our Halloween events... super busy, but amazing. I hope you have all had a wonderful week as well. TGIF! Enjoy your weekend my little beauties.
I will see you all tomorrow! (That means I will be blogging tomorrow.)
Oh and could you all start harassing Lauren so that she will start blogging again? (I would post her phone number, but I'm certain she would kill me. just email her instead at LVStyleSirens@yahoo.com This is a great way to harass her because the emails go strait to her cell phone :D) You should ask her to novel about her Brazilian bikini wax experience. ;) ahahaha

The View
Yes. The View. We will be featured in it. I am not talking about the ridiculous talk show flooded with old nagging women, I am speaking of the Las Vegas newspaper. Tomorrow Lauren and I will spend all morning with an adorable little journalist telling her more details about our average lives than she probably wants to know. I have no idea exactly what the article will be about, however, it should be amazing and I will post a link to the article once it is published.
Moving on, Thursday is our big Charity event for the Children's Heart Association and I can not wait! Its going to be a mini bridal show and all of the profits will be going to the charity. I will be there doing complimentary airbrush makeup for as many lovely ladies as I can squeeze in! Come see me, it is for an amazing cause. It will be this Thursday, September 10th, 2009 at The Plaza at Whitney Ranch and it begins at 7pm. I would like to give a few much deserved snaps to Wendhy Jeffers for putting together this amazing event, and for letting the LV Style Sirens be part of it.
So if you haven't heard yet, I am back in school super full time (I'm majoring in business Law... "Never underestimate a woman with a french manicure and a law degree." -Legally Blonde 2) so if my noveling is slacking a little, I apologize. I am doing my best to run a business, take care of my 1 year old son, go to school and complete all of my homework, prep for my roller derby debut, keep up on my MLIA's, an whatever else I find important for the moment.
I adore you all and appreciate the support and smart ass comments as well.
And as far as beauty advice, I don't have any today because I would much rather tell you that I bought a new MAC lip gloss called Young Thing that is Myth lipstick in a tube (It is limited so if you want one, you better go right now. By right now, I mean RIGHT NOW!) MAC Cream Cup cremesheen lipstick (Which is the most BEAUTIFUL lip color in the world with Oyster Girl lip gloss and Whirl lip liner...Thank you Mrs. Gardiner for that award winning combination) AND I am going out on a limb here and trying the new Studio Sculpt foundation by MAC. I need to find a new remedy for my disgusting skin since they discontinued Studio Mist, the most beautiful foundation ever invented. I tried to boy cot MAC , but who am I kidding? I would have to abandon my entire $10,000 makeup kit and start from scratch. That would never happen. I will keep you updated on how I like this new foundation, so until you hear back from me telling you that I am obsessed with it, don't go out and buy it. Got it?
Anyway, I am off to go skate around my block a few times in preparation for my derby tryouts in October. Oh and don't worry, I always wear my helmet. It actually looks pretty cute on me.

15 minutes of fame
Yes. You heard me correctly. We had our 15 minutes of fame yesterday.
OK OK OK. It was not really 15 minutes, more like 15 seconds of fame. We were on the 6am Channel 3 news promoting Superstar Karaoke at Aliante Station. It was so fun. We showed Las Vegas how the Las Vegas Style Sirens roll when it comes to karaoke. We went through the whole process... the makeup, hair, and costumes... and the adorable little anchor women, Colette was such a sport through it all. :)
I can not believe what slackers we have been on the whole noveling scene. It is seriously pathetic, I know. But we are hard working women... what can I say?
We have some amazing projects coming through. ESPECIALLY because Halloween is coming up really quickly! We have some great ideas in store and we can't wait to put them to work. We will be sure to post pictures soon!
I have received several requests to explain how to apply false lashes correctly. So here we go...
1) Pick an amazing brand of lashes. (I preferrer lashes that are human hair with a thin band on them.) Lashes that you buy at Walgreens and places like that are so hard to work with! The better lashes you buy, the easier they will be to apply. You might have to fork out a few extra bucks, but suck it up and do it. Don't be a cheap-o. If you buy a good pair of lashes, you can wear them several times (If you take proper care of them)
2) Measure them. Everyone has different eye shapes, so obviously if you buy a pair of lashes, they probably are not going to fit you properly right after the box. Place the lash on top of you lash starting where your lashes begin and pinch them onto your lashes until your own lashes end. Then gently pinch the end and take it off of your lashes, trimming the excess lash. (Always cut from the outer corner of the lash.)
3) Apply 1-2 coats of a good black mascara to your natural lashes (I am obsessed with Lash Stiletto by Maybeline.) Do not put mascara on the false lashes.
4) Using a latex based glue (I like DUO in black. You can find this at Walgreens) place a thin layer of glue on the clear lash band and let it dry for about 10 seconds.
5) Get close to that mirror ladies (or gentlemen if you prefer) tilt your head up so that you can get a good view of the top of your lashes. Gently pinch the false lashes onto the top of your own lashes (They should be glued to the root of your own lashes, not on the skin of your upper eye)
6) Give them about 5 minutes to dry. Gently pull apart any lashes that may have been glued together in the process. Top it off with a little black liner to hid the seam of the lashes and you are ready to go! (I love MACs fluidline in BlackTrack)
7) Although the lashes can be reused, do not get them wet or sleep in them. Gently tug them off at the end of the day, and store them in a safe place. When you want to reuse them, simply tug off the dried latex based glue, and do steps 3-6 again. The more times you wear a pair of lashes, the easier it will be to reapply them because they will learn to form the shape of your eye. :) I wear the same pair of lashes about 10 times each.
It is actually super easy, but it will take some practice. Don't be lazy and give up. Lashes make all the difference so now that I have given you instructions, I seriously don't want to heard any lame-ass excuses.
I'm back in school super full time, but I will try my hardest to blog at least every other day. (But if I don't get around to it, please don't flood my email with hate mail or I will hate you.)
And if you have any beauty questions that you would like me to blog about, please email them to me! I love hearing from you all!

OK OK OK. It was not really 15 minutes, more like 15 seconds of fame. We were on the 6am Channel 3 news promoting Superstar Karaoke at Aliante Station. It was so fun. We showed Las Vegas how the Las Vegas Style Sirens roll when it comes to karaoke. We went through the whole process... the makeup, hair, and costumes... and the adorable little anchor women, Colette was such a sport through it all. :)
