Brandi Shigley emcees Westword's ArtopiaA couple months ago, I emceed Westword’s  Artopia fashion show White Out and to be honest, I really don’t know how to do my own makeup. I asked my friend Heather, editor of the Denver Style Magazine if she could recommend anybody that could help a sister out and without any hesitation she told me all about the amazing Lyndsay Wilson, owner of Glamour Bar. I immediately called them to get an appointment to get beautified for the fashion show.

My experience was absolutely amazing! When I walked in, I was in love with the vibe of the place. The front of the space had some clothing and accessories to peruse through and do a little shopping. And right away, you are offered a delicious beverage with Stella on tap.

I had such a fun time going from station to station getting my nails, hair, and them makeup done. The team was absolutely fabulous and made me feel like a princess! Thank you Glamour Bar!!!

I knew right away that I wanted to learn more about Lyndsay and hear the background behind this business! Read our interview with Lyndsay Wilson!  There is a special discount at the bottom for … Read more!

On March 19th, we held our fashion camp for fashionistas between the ages of 5-15 and had an action packed day of fun!

Our campers learned about inner beauty and being kind with Denver Style Magazine editor Heather Okimoto. They learned how to introduce themselves and compliment each other in a way that led to new friendships. It was so much fun to see this transpire!

Next Jeremy Willard and I (Brandi Shigley) shared our upcycle designs and our campers went to work, sketching and making their own designs. A beautiful mess of creativity filled up our headquarters at Green Spaces.

After they learned the walk, it was off to hair and makeup!

After hair and makeup were done, it was time to walk the runway!

We had such a wonderful time! Thank you to all of you who participated in the event and for giving your young fashionista an opportunity to dive into the fashion world!
