What a week and it will only continue to get more involved. There are shows, events and more around the corner and as usual I always love bringing information that you will find useful and inspiring - thus it's a Kitten Pick and one that I am super excited to say will be an organization that Kitten Couture will also be a part of as well.
First off, you never know how you can meet someone and how life comes full circle. The very first event that Kitten Couture presented itself at was a fashion week event that I created in midtown. My boyfriend's friend so graciously offered to be a part of the event by describing the pieces that my models wore as they worked the runway. I was completely blown away! Bring that back to current day and I hear from Brooke (along with three other amazing partners Kerry, Kara and Amy) that she is a part of a theater production company! I was intrigued and had to know more. So, I visited Groove Mama Ink and was so impressed by what I saw that not only was I pleased to be involved in one of their events but knew it was something that I had to let you guys know about on here as well.
Briefly (because I know that you guys will scour the site yourself!), Groove Mama Ink serves as a platform to foster artists creativity and assist them as they do so on the stage. To get an idea of how this is done, you can go to Groove Mama Ink's home at the Gene Frankel Underground Theater on 24 Bond St NY, NY 212.252.2402.
Their first week begins Sat Sept 2nd. During this first week there's an awesome lineup of artists and performances that will let you know much more about Groove Mama Ink. There are comics on one night, a 24 Hour produced play (this is when a group comes together to write, rehearse and perform within the 24 hour limit) and of course there is much more - so go to the site and look up these events.
Of course what's a debut without an amazing party to kick it off>? On Sat Sept 9th from 7 - 11pm, Groove Mama Ink will host "Coming Out in Style" at Bamboo 52 (344 W. 52nd st) NY, NY. This is a silent auction raffled event (more info on that in a sec) fundraising gala and yes tickets are still available and are available via Paypal! There are great drink specials ($4 drinks) and there are some amazing items that you can bid on.
After scanning the site I noticed that there is a visit and lunch on the set of All My Children with Emmy Award winning actress Eden Riegel, a Luca Luca evening gown, Broadway Tickets, $50 bar tab to Bamboo, Jewelry from Kitten Couture (ah notice the little slip in there) and a lot of fabulous donated items. Of course the raffle is $2 a ticket or 3/$5 which means you could get Yankee tickets, a pilates session or a yaga and much more.
Tickets are $15 and MUST be purchased through Paypal and are not available at the door - click here to go to the purchase page. These women have created an amazing haven where creativity is encouraged and their hope is to provide a variety of programming and educational programming as well. In addition this is a way of keeping theater alive which is why Kitten Couture has decided that it will continue to assist in Groove Mama Ink's goal in continuing this education by creating a line of jewelry where 20% of the purchase price will go to Groove Mama Ink. We love a well dressed fashionista and we love one that gives to their community through art. Expect to hear more about events that are going on with Groove Mama Ink and make sure that you visit the site to see which shows you will be attending as well.
