Coverage of A Touch of BLUSH – The Fashion Show at Mai

scarlettjames — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 18:54:14 +0000

Pounding music, flashing lights, & a stable of gorgeous women in the spotlight. What sounds like the average evening at Club Mai was anything but ordinary: the spotlight was on a glittering runway & the women in it were models strutting their stuff in the hottest BLUSH designs.

Inception
What culminated in a grand spectacle began as an idea for two friends to team up. Kristin Leim, assistant manager at BLUSH, describes owners Max & Jen Khavanov as “very encouraging of creative ideas.” Leim was once an esthetician at Natural Oasis Salon & Spa & was approached by their manager Rajean Maynard to see if there was a way BLUSH & Natural Oasis could combine forces. What, mused Leim, do you get when you add the latest trends in clothing, plus stunning hair & perfect makeup? A fashion show was the clear solution to the equation.

Fashion, Put It All On Me
“BLUSH is very well known for cocktail dresses,” explained Leim, “So I wanted to show versatility in separates that we offer as well.” Buzzwords for spring include feminine, flirty, & fresh. The models showcased a range of adorable get-ups ranging from perfect weekend ensembles of leggings, tank tops, & fitted cardigans to a note-perfect coral ruffled one-shoulder cocktail dress to a miniskirt, lace leggings, & a cheeky leather vest worn with a smile. Leim gave us the insiders edition. “For so long we have been seeing army green, grey, navy, & taupe,” she said, describing current winter trends. However, her inspiration came from the exciting colour palettes for spring, which she described as “so fresh & exciting,” adding “They are workable into the colours from A/W 2010.” New trends that let us hold on to clothes from last season? BLUSH, you may have created a rabid devotee.

Hair + Makeup
Natural Oasis Salon & Spa, which has been featured in national magazines for its stylists’ work & who Leim describes as “insanely talented” provided hair & makeup for the show. Leim approached Jaima McReynolds, a stylist at Natural Oasis, who agreed that yes, a fashion show is a killer idea. McReynolds, along with Crystal Keller & Aimee Sanchez, did hair & makeup for the event. Katje Lael & Jenny Taylor worked exclusively as makeup artists. Keller dished on the inspiration behind the hair & makeup looks on the runway. “Spring & summer looks you think of soft pastels, corals – Movement, free-flowing,” she said, describing perennial notions about how springtime “should” look, adding, “To change things up, we thought of softness with hard edges.” This juxtaposition translated onto the models in the form of sleek ponytails, brioche buns, & voluminous curls. Makeup was bold coral focused on either the model’s eyes, lips, or cheeks for a look of daring minimalism.

No Business Like Show Business
Marketing for the show was provided by Empire Media Group (EMG) a local publicity powerhouse. Owner Shaun Bertrand worked personally with Leim, who describes both Bertrand & EMG as “My favourite … Very creative.” They secured contributions to the goodie bags with the generous contributions from Stephanie Fahey at Genesis Diamonds, spray tans by Anastacia Wetzel, and Jamie Bryant of HotBox Kickboxing Studio.

Olympus Gym: The Best Fitness Deal in Murfreesboro, TN!

murfreesboronews — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 09:18:20 +0000

Olympus Gym has the best deal in town if you want to get in shape! For only $15 a month you get to work out at the best gym in town, with the most Free options! You won’t believe all of the perks included with your membership! When I joined, I simply paid $210 for the whole year, and that was it! That’s just the setup fee at most gyms, and then they want to charge you $50 a month after that? Heck no!

Olympus gym really surprised me when I found out that they have free child care and free tanning beds! These are services that most gyms charge extra for (or charge too much for a membership). They also have free exercise groups and offer you a few free personal training sessions to get you started.

Olympus has everything you could want when it comes to working out. The variety and abundance of equipment is very impressive to say the least. Personally, I prefer a co-ed environment and it seems to work very well. They have a great layout of several different sections, for different genres of working out, including a padded Group Exercise room, indoor track, freeweight room, a large machine & treadmill room, and a Mixed Martial Arts Gym!

The thing I really noticed was that everyone that works there is extremely nice and helpful. They seem to work hard at keeping the place clean and organized. That’s a huge plus!

So what’s the catch? Well, you’d think a gym this big and versitile would try to make some extra money by selling highly marked up beverage, protien and food items, since the monthly fee is so low. Surely they don’t let you get off that easy? Well yes they do! I was very suprised on how inexpensive their Refreshment Bar prices were. In fact, I can get a Red Bull for cheaper than my grocery store! Water is only a buck per bottle and Gatorade is only a $1.25.

In addition, the owner is a really nice guy and is actually probably in the best shape out of anyone in there. That really conveys a message to me that he’s serious and passionate about what he does, and how he runs his gym. I really respect that in a business man. Be the best at what you do and take it seriously. That’s what Olympus Gym does!

In my opinion as a business man, these guys are doing everything right and they should be commended on a job well done. The Southeast Gym that was located in the same spot before Olympus, was the worst gym I have ever been to. Now since Olympus has taken over the scene, it is hands down, the best gym I have ever been to, and I’ve been to a lot of them in the last 15 years! Olympus has taken a tainted location and turned it into a proud symbol of Murfreesboro business. The formula is simple… offer your customers a deal they can’t refuse, and that’s exactly what the guys at Olympus gym have done! Thank you for making fitness affordable again!

Olympus Gym has two locations in Murfreesboro and growing. Your membership is good at any of their locations! Give them a phone call or a visit and tell them that MurfreesboroNewsPress sent you. You will be very happy that you did!
