We are nearly sold out!!!

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the June 20th, 2008

Well it has happened again…we are nearly sold out for STYLEAID…I have too many bookings currently so it will be those that pay up first that will get a seat or a table…thank you to all those that have paid so promptly and we are once again shaping up to have one of the best nights of the year!

It is so rewarding to know that we are just about there again in terms of payments and bookings because it means that once again we can make more money for the AIDS Council than ever before and truly cement STYLEAID as the fashion fundraising event in Perth.

Thanks and I look forward to seeing you all on the night!

Casting and the tale of the Lammy

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the June 15th, 2008

Well here I sit at the end of casting day for STYLEAID and as I reflect on all of the great talent that we have here in Perth I thought I would take the time to recall a story that happened to us today whilst casting.

A very talented young model named Tammy Stone came to casting and as she approached our desk to get ready to walk for us she handed us her agency card.

Our very talented and inspiring fashion stylist Aly May took a quick look at the card and instead of calling her Tammy called her Lammy…I know what was she thinking…was it becuase she was wearing a lamb knit jumper in the photo on the front of her comp card, was it because she looked lamb like in her picture (we think not) or was it just a quick glance that was misread…I will leave it up to your imagination (it was the last one) but much laughter ensued and it was a constant source of fun for us for the rest of the day.

And lets face it if you are in the situation of sitting and watching many, many models walk for you for a day sometimes you need some lightness to break the day up a bit.

In saying that let me also say what a plethora of talent we did see today and all those that were seen by Aly, Tegan and myself can all be proud of how they presented.

We are in the process of making the decision as to who we will use this year and all the agencies will be told this coming week…we will also be looking for some more male models as we did not see enough today to meet our needs for the parade this year so will be doign another casting on Wednesday evening just for males to hopefully get the rest that we need.

So what a day it has been and thanks to the great agencies who have once again sent us some great talent to consider for this year….Viviens, Chadwick Model Management, Scene and Metro…

Those coming along to STYLEAID can look forward to seeing some of the best talent on the catwalk once again…

FIAT joins STYLEAID Renaissance

Posted in Uncategorized, Mark's Blog by admin on the June 12th, 2008

Well hi there…it has been a busy week but I thought I would take this time to sit down and tell you what has been happening this week.

FIAT have now come on board and are now the official car for STYLEAID Renaissance…you will be able to see some of the great new FIAT cars at STYLEAID this year and we thank them for coming on board to support the event and the charity work for the WA AIDS Council.

Also working madly this week on the STYLEAID magazine as the deadline looms near and along with Tamara Day ( who is working in the office with me a couple of days a week) and the wonderful Desiree Selvey our graphic designer who is putting the magazine together we have been working on getting something together that will be hotter than ever before.

Add the great photography from this year, some hot adds from our great sponsors and the top WA fashion and you will see a magazine that really is amazing…I am so unbiased as you can tell but this does promise to be the best magazine we have done in support of the event so far.

Finalising prizes for the auction as well and making sure that the auction items all get finalised…oh yes and also taking bookings and payments for tables…

Get in quick as we are selling lots of tickets each day at the moment and I am hopeful that we will sell out within 2 weeks!

Well that is enough for now…hope you are enjoying the new site this year and I hope to see you at the fashion fundraising event of 2008 - STYLEAID Renaissance…
