Guy's Night Out was too awesome not to talk about!!!

We had 80+ men come out for our premier event and even had to make a liquor run after the movie started. There were costumes, white russians, hearty food choices, bumper stickers, etc.

I think we can definitely check this one off the list as a hit. Make sure you come to the next one!!! It will be in June and the ladies are welcome too.

Starting in July, we will be trying something new with our Chick Flick Series. I'm calling it Chick Flicks on Steroids. This will move toward an empowerment theme. Tell me your suggestions ladies. I'm all ears.

I think that The Legend of Billy Jean is my #1 pick!!!

Thelma & Louise: We did 'em proud.

2009-03-20T10:32:00.005-05:00

Even though this Chick Flick happened to fall on St. Patty's Day, we had a great time!!
Here is a sample of our delightful libations offerings.

Check out the love Robyn got from our biggest MAC supporter. He is so great that he even comes to the Chick Flick Events. Yeah, for Diego!!!

We had some great gals come out and support our event.

Our next Chick Flick is rapidly approaching!!!

2009-02-26T10:52:00.003-06:00

Thelma & Louise!!!!!

This Chick Flick embodies the ultimate gal pal relationship and the many sacrifices we sometimes make. Susan Sarandon, Geena Davis and who can forget Brad Pitt's epic performance. Reserve your tickets now for $20 per person and as always, partial proceeds benefit Merryman Domestic Crisis Center.

Adult beverages will be plentiful, as well as some delicious Thelma & Louise approved snacks.

An Officer and a Gentleman

2009-01-23T14:42:00.006-06:00

Well, our last Chick Flick didn't have the same grandeur as some in the past, but we did have men in uniform, so if you weren't in attendance, you missed it. Here are a few pictures to show you what you missed. The beer and popcorn were plentiful and so was the fun. Our own Jill Chambers even got whisked away.

Even though the weather didn't quite cooperate, we had a fabulous time at Breakfast at Tiffany's MAC Style. The ladies looked lovely, the food was fantastic and the champagne was flowing. Thanks Steve at Wine Pro!!!

We were so fortunate to have such great ladies in attendance and very sad to see that everyone couldn't make it.
