######### http://www.internationalwomensday.com/ About International Women's Day (8 March) International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.
International Women's Day (IWD) has been observed since in the early 1900's - a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies. International Women's Day is a collective day of global celebration and a call for gender parity. No one government, NGO, charity, corporation, academic institution, women's network or media hub is solely responsible for International Women's Day. Many organizations declare an annual IWD theme that supports their specific agenda or cause, and some of these are adopted more widely with relevance than others.
"The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights," says world-renowned feminist, journalist and social and political activist Gloria Steinem. International Women's Day is all about celebration, reflection, advocacy, and action - whatever that looks like globally at a local level. But one thing is for sure, International Women's Day has been occurring for over a century - and is growing annually from strength to strength.

Grand Opening Night Recap Normally, I get to observe and watch from the sidelines at many events unless I'm also working them as well. In the artist industries it's few and far between the breaks you get when you are passionate about what you do and then even more so about the people you get to serve. In February, I was able to witness some dreams come to a reality as well as also enjoy and partake in celebrations and services from some extremely talented individuals from the valley of the sun. On February 9th, at 7029 E 1st Ave, Scottsdale, AZ 85251, Toni & Guy Oldtown, operated by Gerry Watkins, hosted their grand opening of their latest Toni & Guy location in conjunction with Fashion Arizona's February Meetup Mixer coordinated by Phoenix Fashion Week. The new Toni & Guy Oldtown location experience includes an open air patio, high ceilings, and a rustic warehouse style and feel. Guests enjoyed complimentary hor d'oeuvres and drinks, sponsored and provided by Arcadia Farms Cafe. Lively musical sounds from DJ Frietz filled the atmosphere along with networking, paparazzi, VIP guests, local supporting boutiques, and the Phoenix Fashion Week entourage. The evening included the stylists and spring trends announcement for the Spring into Style 2017 upcoming fashion show followed by a runway show outside under the moonlight featuring Woman's Touch Apparel Designs. The bonus of the night was the future opportunity presented to enjoy a visit to Arcadia Farms Cafe for lunch as well as styling service including haircut from Toni & Guy Oldtown, by no other than Gerry Watkins. ************************Stylist for Spring into Style and their spring trend being hosted at the Jokake Inn at The Phoenician Resort, Scottsdale, Doors open at 6PM. Tickets available here SpringIntoStyle2017.eventbrite.com
Arcadia Farms Cafe is conveniently located just west across the street from the Toni & Guy Oldtown location and the lunchtime experience is to die for. I love elegant yet quaint feeling type environments and this did not disappoint. They had outdoor seating available the day I visited and the weather was absolute perfection, just highlighting how even more important location is when considering where you should place your business. They also house a Arcadia Farms Market and Bakery right next door and I'm sure nothing on th menu will have a bad review. I don't normally eat sandwiches but when there is a baguette involved on the menu, I will always say yes to that. They happened to have my favorite warm grilled ham with mozzarella cheese. While waiting an appetizer of Crows Dairy Baked Goat Cheese Dip was devoured. The service was amazing and the owner even took moments out of their day to make sure the experience was what we expected. My new lunchtime favorite place to visit hands down. I'll be back...
Toni & Guy Oldtown is everything you hope a salon to be. It was welcoming, busy with clients, and staff waiting on you before, during, and after the services. As I don't normally talk about my one-on-one services experiences I just have to share about this one. I've been growing my hair out for a long time. The last year however I've been trying to get it cut to first take advantage of the length but then also wanted to increase the volume. Most hairstylists are gun shy when it comes to cutting unless you give them clear direction on what length to cut off for fear of doing too much. I like to live dangerously, however knowing that Gerry Watkins, a master stylist and parter for this salon, was going to cut my hair, I was pretty sure I could trust he would take good care of me. We consulted about what I wanted, they prepped me and washed my hair and then the decisions were made on the type of cut and style. My expectations were exceeded and the whole experience was exactly what I had hoped it would be. I was able to have a friend along that captured some amazing candid photos that really tell the story of the experience. I'm very serious about my hair the care that I take with it. So it takes an extra special person to accept the challenge. I felt 100% at ease and comfortable with the choices and know I received not only the right cut but the best style for me. That's part of what Toni & Guy has a reputation for is for cuts and coloring. My next visit will definitely be about coloring and getting that refreshed. Definitely this will become a routine visit as once I find a place that is about quality, I just can't go another way.
By Eva Louis - Video - Recap of the Brave Wings Fashion Show held on Saturday, June 28, 2014 7:00 pm - When you have individuals that see beyond the day to day and are truly dedicated to making a difference, you can do nothing else, but bring to the forefront what they are doing. Mabella Chic and Woman's Touch Apparel founders (Mabell Cortez and Jenesis Laforcarde) of the Brave Wings Fashion Show Charity Event are those such organizations and individuals. They see beyond the value of just work but also giving. This year their energy, effort, and time went into this 2nd Annual Charity Fashion Show that is entirely run by volunteers. They have dedicated the charitable proceeds to Ryan House http://www.RyanHouse.org The mission of Ryan House is to provide respite and palliative care to children with life-threatening conditions and, as needed, end-of-life care. Beyond the Charity, this event allowed several local and other established designers and accessory designers to showcase their designs on runway as well as in the Shop Villa designed to give attendees ways to see the latest designs, purchase, and donate to the cause. The event was emceed by the talented and creative Oscar De Las Salas and Irma Deihl, who can be seen often supporting local, regional and national events and causes. The Venue in Scottsdale was home to the event and provided the perfect backdrop to a phoenomenal runway as well as a special performance from Yasmeen.
