Recap: Cincinnati Profile Launch Party at Performance Lexus


A couple weeks ago, we had our Cincinnati Profile Launch Party where we celebrated its new online-only format and new events! It was a huge success! Click here to check out pics!

Performance Lexus was a fabulous host to the party. All the guests were completely wowed at the venue and couldn't believe it was actually a car dealership. If not for the new CT parked in the middle of the showroom and all the pictures of cars around, you wouldn't know it!

It has a workout facility, locker room, movie theater, lounge, patio, pond and fountain... you name it, they have it! It's unbelievable! Mark your calendar for June 11 when we'll be back at Performance Lexus for another Cincinnati Profile event called "Summerfest" ... we'll be grilling out, making sushi, tasting beers and wines, smoking cigars, taking hot air balloon rides... lots of fun! Make sure you're subscribed to Cincinnati Profile to be the first to learn about the event!

Eco-Fab Fashion Show Sneak Peek

To say I'm excited about today's Eco-Fabulous Fashion Show at Lexus RiverCenter is an understatement. First of all, I brought on a national client for it (Vitamin Water Zero...woohoo!!). Second of all, we have 350 RSVPs and it's sold out. Third of all, it's benefiting the Civic Garden Center which is an amazing organization making our city pretty. And lastly.... it's going to just be a ton of FUN!

There will be food, drinks, music, shopping and a eco-fab fashion show with clothing made out of re-purposed materials. And the jewelry is also made out of re-purposed/recycled materials. The jewelry vendor, Serket Jewelry, sent me a sneak peek of some of the jewelry that will be in the show. The pics are just showcasing some of the jewelry that will be at the show.

For a sneak peek of some of the clothes that will be in the show, check out the bottom of this post for a segment we did on Wednesday on Fox19!

Lexus RiverCenter was so kind to give us a weekend lease to auction off to raise funds for the Civic Garden Center. The car will be a loaded RX for the weekend, 2011 AWD model with navigation, Bluetooth, backup camera, parking sensors. The winner can pick it up on a Friday and bring it back on a Monday…weekend of their choice!

Enjoy the pics and video, and hope to see you at the event!

Eco-Fabulous Fashion Show At Lexus Rivercenter


I’m so super excited for our “Eco-Fabulous Fashion Show” event coming up March 25 at the Lexus Rivercenter! We did a go green event last year, and it was great. But this year, we’re taking it to a whole new, even more amazing, level.

Last year, we had some designs that DAAP students made on display throughout the venue. It was neat to look at them, but none of them could really be worn. But this year, the DAAP students are making eco-fab designs that are going to be worn on the runway! The outfits will be made out of repurposed household items and/or eco-friendly products. Think couture gown out of dryer sheets whisking its way down the catwalk… yeah, amazing.

Serket Jewelry is sponsoring the fashion show portion of the event, and is designing all the jewelry for the models. I interviewed her in this previous blog. I just love how innovative Lyn (owner/designer for Serket) is, so I’m sure she’ll have incredible designs and concepts for you to enjoy at this show. I’ll have a sneak peek here of some of her designs soon on the blog after Lyn and my fashion show intern go and check out the DAAP designs.

Also, this year, Lexus has a brand new hybrid it’ll be featuring. AND vitaminwater zero just came on board as the presenting sponsor, so you know there will be great swag!
I hope you can make it! Here are all the details…
