First, for “www.baldgirlsdolunch.org”, our ever evolving website and photo gallery.
Second, for “The Beauty Event”, March 2009 in Larchmont, NY with the Bobbi Brown makeup artists of Neimans at The Westchester.
“This event was the most rewarding, life changing experience for the makeup artists. It’s amazing to take your profession and be able to affect lives in an event driven by passion and not by sales. As a team we had a greater feeling of accomplishment than with our usual work for strictly superficial cosmetic needs. Treating each individual took on extra special meaning that day. Someone said: ‘I look so beautiful I don’t want to wash my face.’” - Jill K Imbrogno, Bobbi Brown acct mgr/ Neimans, White Plains, NY
Don’t miss the new photos of our recent Beauty Event with the Bobbi Brown Cosmetics make-up artists from Neiman Marcus at the Westchester in White Plains, New York.
