Hair & Makeup by VIP-CAT Makeup Academy

FAB Shows is a result of founder Jessica Stout's passion for animal rescue and advocacy, and her love of all things fashion. A self-proclaimed clothing hoarder that is on the verge of being an animal hoarder (we kid), Jessica decided to bring her two loves together to see what would come of it.

What came was something awesome that caught-on like wildfire. After the success of her first show, Pits and Fash, the "FAB Show" name was created and the rest will go down in history.

Proceeds Raised From this Event Were Donated to the Folsom Zoo Sanctuary to help build Bigger and Better Exhibits for the Animals they house.

The Sacramento Examiner covered this wonderful event in am article and slide show!:

This will be a fun night of High Fashion with all proceeds going to support the Tommy Apostolos Fund.

Tommy Apostolos Fund was formed to help Roseville's needy children by purchasing new clothing, school supplies, shoes and other fundamental needs by joining with local businesses and community leaders to take these children shopping twice a year. This non-profit organization has been serving the Roseville community children since 1988 and is celebrating over 20 years of taking kids shopping. In 1988, the Fund took 10 children shopping and today the fund provides for clothing needs of over 500 Roseville school-aged children annually. In total they have spent over $1 million on nearly 6,000 kids.

Their mission is to continue the legacy of Tommy Apostolos and the fund that was established in his memory. Each year they raise money to buy clothes for Roseville's needy children. With the help of Roseville school teachers and school administrators they are able to identify children in need and take them shopping in Roseville in August and December, providing them with new clothing, shoes and food.

Halloween

By Arrvada

Halloween is a day that gets mixed reviews. Its a day when some believe the spirits roam the earth, a day for fun and frolic and for some fear. Whatever your personal belief there is definitely something about this one day of the year that intrigues and inspires the world.
Its true that this day was once celebrated in ancient times, a pagan holiday filled with mystery and fire. A day that the early Christians feared for its power and the darkness that seemed so close at hand during this time of year when the sun begins to wane. But today, even so many years later, this holiday has survived, taking on a new and glamourous face, that barely hides its ancient origins. What is it about Halloween that facinates and thrills the world? That thrills young and old alike? Why do we like Halloween? Because we get to reinvent ourselves, reimagine who we are, unleash our alter ego and revisit our childhood. We get to be whomever we want to be.
So light the fires, break out the paint and be whomever you want to be this year. For one day, you are free to be...you.

Featured Artist - Angel Rotar

by Arrvada

We met Angel a little over a year ago when we were asked to do the makeup for a bridal photoshoot. All of us were impressed by this young woman's poise, presence and professionalism. A few months later we worked with Angel again for the Hair Wars competition at the Park Ultra Lounge. It was at that time we began to see how good Angel actually was. She coached and coordinated the models, using her experince and skill to help them achieve a level of professionalism mosty amateur models could never achieve. Now we are pleased to say that Angel has made VIP-CAT Academy her new home, bringing all of her knowledge and skill to our students and helping them achieve the ultimate goal of model. To get signed with professional agents and make the runway their home.
Angel fell in love with modeling over three years ago when she participated in her first photoshoot. From then on it developed from a hobby into a passion and Angel has dedicated her life to it. She began with one runway show per month from which she quickly expanded to professional photoshoots and runway modeling shows all over California. Since then Runway has become "my second street I walk regularly." The more time she began to contribute to modeling the more she began to realize how passionate she was about it. Now days she works as a model/coach full time. On a regular basis, she trains and works with new models who after only few weeks with her are able to move on to Professional Agencies. "It has been a climb for me but I am ready for whatever life throws at me and modeling is a live example of that. I am independent, motivated, and want only the best for all of my students."
What more could you ask in a mentor and Angel is there to take you the height of your dreams.

Stylist of the Month - Arlene Culbreth

by Arrvada

It all started because she didn't want to sit behind a desk. Arlene Culbreth chose to attend Gavilan Cosmotology in Gilroy, CA for that reason and quickly found her passion. Not only does she love the art, she finds that every day is different, that she never knows just what to expect. She finds she never gets bored with it, making her love and thrive at what she does.
She loves to be challenged, loves making people more beautiful than they ever expected. It is her ability to achieve and her belief that, "All hair can be beautiful hair and anyone can be a beautiful blond". With 12 years behind the chair and countless hours of specialized training, that's a statement she can surely back up.
For fabulous hair, Arlene's your girl and her home is Image Provocateur.
