CharmingROSE Fashion, Hair and Make-up Show

Friends from CharmingROSE are holding a Fashion, Hair, Makeup Pop up SHOW from the 1st to the 2nd of December, 2012. I've contacted them and below is a statement that they have given me.

Fashion is all around. Whether we embrace it , like it or not. IT IS HERE.

Pop up shows are the new platform for marketing, advertising and selling of products in this century. This pop up show will have a funky twist from the smallest detail in our marketing strategy to the day of the show. The show will be exhibiting fashion, hair ,makeup in all it’s forms. After all fashion is Art. From jewelry, clothes, hair , shoes, nails and bags. It will all be there.

This not your average pop up show . The centre of attraction will be our local talented Designers, Hair Stylists and Make up Artists to a VIP lounge for fanatics. This is an exclusive opportunity that CharmingROSE is giving Designers to showcase their most exclusive , current and unique collections. Suppliers of all fashion, hair and make up products will also take centre stage

The vibe that we promise is an experience one has to be a part of to believe it is real.

MARKETING STRATEGY

The event will be promoted across all Communication platforms available . Zimbo Jam is our Official Social networking Partner and Chocolate Princess is our Marketing and Advertising partner . With a concentrated focus being on the Designers, Hair Stylists, Makeup Artists and Exhibitors this is what will give the Pop up show the edge it needs to be world class.

Our aim is to create a noise as big as a tree falling in the bush. One has to be there to see the tree fall to hear how big the noise is. All who will participate have to be actively involved and own the opportunity because that is how they will also get maximum exposure. A strategic marketing campaign will be implemented through these platforms Press release, Radio Campaign and Newspapers. - Social Media(Facebook and Twitter) - Online Advertising - Print Advertising - Email Referral System

BENEFITS Taking part in this Pop up show will benefit participating Brands in many ways.

1. Occupying a booth will allow their brand to be recognized by other exhibitors, attendees, and event sponsors.

2.After purchasing your space for the Show it is then in your hands to create the connection between your product and the message to the audience and that can be done through your personal creativity.

3. This is the 1st ever Fashion pop up show that has fashion , hair and make up in one place to be held in Zimbabwe and we believe it is overdue. Participation in an opportunity like this will definitely give any Company an edge above other brands.

Clothing Indaba Zimbabwe 2012

The Zimbabwe Clothing Manufacturers Association is partnering with the United Nations and other local organisations such as the Zim Trade and Zimbabwe fashion Council to bring you a clothing indaba, a first of its kind in Zimbabwe.

The event is happening from the 16th to the 17th of November, 2012 at Platinum Lifestyle Estate in Borrowdale from 8am to 8pm.

I've e-mailed Thandi for information on the registration process and i still haven't got a reply from her. If i finally get the info, i'll update.

Update

The first day of the two day indaba will consist of plenary session where discussions on the importance of the clothing industry, dealing with cheap competition from cheap imports and competing in the global village, among others, will take place.

A speaker on attracting investment has been invited to speak on day two, which will include a trade fair and fashion shows. The fashion showcase, on the afternoon of November 17, will present garments by young designers from tertiary institutions around the country culminating with a show by two of Zimbabwe’s top designers, Maita Marimo and Intisaar Mukadam and the winner of the Young Designers Competition at Zimbabwe Fashion Week, Kimberly Masimbe.

General Motors Weight Loss Diet

So my sister introduced me the this diet termed General Motors Weight Loss Diet and i thought i'd have a shot at it.

First day, you consume all fruits except bananas. Second day you have a large boiled potato for breakfast and then all vegetables you want, taking note to avoid oil or coconut. Third day you eat a mixture of vegetables and fruits but still no bananas and no potatoes. Day four you have 8 bananas and 3 glasses of milk, plus you can also have a bowl of vegetable soup if you so wish. On day 5 you will have one cup of rice, six whole tomatoes and 12 glasses of water. On the sixth day, you will take 1 cup of rice and all vegetables, cooked or raw. On the last day, you consume 1 cup of rice, fruit juice and vegetables. In summary, this is all.

They say you can lose anything between 2kg-8kg in a week on this diet. You can also repeat this diet anytime you want, although you must allow your body at least 3 days to let your body rest before starting again.

This diet is supposed to clean your digestive system and remove toxic substances.

I`m on day 1 of this and i've had 1 and a half apples, an orange and avocado. I' also managed to drink a litre of water. I was way too busy today so i didn't have any trouble getting by, and surprisingly i'm so full from the avocado. I hope i can make it through to day 7 **fingures crossed**!
