"We're so happy that we can take our Think Pink Sphynx items downtown to help raise awarness and funds, and to make people smile."

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) October 20, 2011

Everyday a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. Both Ana and Debby Boe have had some of their close family and friends diagnosed with breast cancer over the past couple years and have been touched deeply by their courage, hope and fight to live.

"Walking in the upcoming Susan G. Komen 3 Day breast cancer walk is a way for us to give back, to walk in honor of all WOMEN past, present and future in hopes that a cure is found very soon." says Debby Boe.

The women have planned an event on October 22nd to help raise even more funds for the cause and their walk. With some determination they canvased the San Diego downtown area, and were able to secure the Bamboo Lounge for their event.

After securing different vendors to provide designer clothes, Miss Diva purses, Gold Canyon Candles and ZRII Health and Wellness to participate, they approached Air Feathers and were greeted with open arms.

"We are always happy to help at events like this," says Art Director Mandy Florez, a cancer survivor herself. "We're so happy that we can take our Think Pink Sphynx items downtown to help raise awarness and funds, and to make people smile."

Air Feathers "Think Pink Sphynx" Breast Cancer Awareness Kit has been doing well, and both Florez and Air Feathers founder Airie McCready are glad they placed an order for more product.
"This way," says McCready, "we can provide fundraising items right up until the last day of October, and even further if needed.

The Air Feathers team has chosen Airie's own sphynx cat, Daisy, to be their think pink mascot.

When asked why, Florez, smiles and replies, "Well, she's pink, she makes you think, and if you look closely at her picture, she's a great representative for Breast Cancer awareness."
Daisy herself was diagnosed with cancer at only 3 months old. The kitten, who weighed only 2.5 lbs did not have a great prognosis, and Airie was not sure Daisy would pull through. But with a lot of love, care, and effort, Daisy made it.

McCready and Florez acknowledge that Daisy does not compare to a Mother, Sister, Daughter, or anyone you may know that is fighting and surviving Cancer. But the little pink cat certainly is attention getting, and you can't help but smile when you see her on the cover of the new kit.

"Laughter is an immune system stimulant," says McCready, "and Daisy is about the cutest and funniest thing most people have ever seen!"

McCready believes that there's nobody better than her hairless cat to represent the new line of "AirMazing Fakes," a hybrid synthetic hair extension that's taking the industry by storm. The synthetic looks and acts much like real hair, at only a fraction of the cost. It's heat resistant up to 300 degrees and curls nicely with a moving tool like a flat iron. It comes in every color in the rainbow, but in the new kit stylists get an large amount of the pinks-solid light and hot pink, as well as "Grizzly" or striped light and hot pink that mimic the popular feather extension trend.

McCready also loves the fact that this kit does not lock stylists in to any particular charity or event-it leaves them free to raise funds however they see fit.

The new pink hair extensions, as well as a few items that have not hit the market yet will be available to purchase for a donation amount at the event.

Where: Bamboo Lounge, 1475 University Ave, San Diego, CA 92103
When: October 22nd, 2011
Time: 3:pm-7:pm

Air Feathers "Think Pink Sphynx" Breast Cancer Awareness Kit an Exciting & Original way for the Beauty Industry to Raise Funds for the Cause this October

2011-10-09T23:23:00.000-07:00

Escondido, CA (PRWEB) September 30, 2011

Air Feathers introduces an exciting new product with an original twist-using a hairless cat who suffered from cancer herself to put the "fun" back in fundraising. The "Think Pink Sphynx" kit is for the stylist on a budget who wants to raise funds, and still offer their clients the latest in exciting hair trends.

Daisy looks pretty on the cover of the fundraising package

"Yes, this looks crazy-but it's not!" Insists Airie McCready, the inventor of the "Think PInk Sphynx" project, "it's just a bit more out there than most, but you noticed it, right?"

Why a trendsetting company like Air Feathers would choose a hairless cat as their mascot for a "Think Pink" campaign, as well as to launch a new hair extension product is a mystery-until Airie McCready and Mandy Florez explain it.

Daisy is a model for http://www.sphynxcatwear.com that retails internationally, and she poses for photographer Christopher Voelker whenever possible. She's the official fit and photo model for their new Junior Wear line that's coming out soon."
"I used to dream about being a supermodel, having a designer come to my home and alter my wardrobe, use me as a muse," says McCready, "it didn't happen for me, but it's happened for Daisy!"
The "Think Pink Sphynx" campaign launches Monday October 3rd, with the products shipping in the middle of October.

Best thing in my makeup kit

2011-06-17T22:47:00.000-07:00

PREP + PRIME SKIN

BRIGHTENING SERUM

Sometimes my baggy eyes just need to go!! Before I put on my foundation I dab a few drops of this baby under my eyes and it plumps right up! It's great for photo shoots or getting ready for a party.

This serum is formulated to instantly brighten, smooth, firm, and hydrate the skin while providing a plumper, more evenly toned finish to the complexion. Natural antioxidants help to strengthen the skin against UV-related damage, while M∙A∙C Charged Water ensures deep, long-lasting hydration.

I got your Strong Hold

2011-05-30T16:34:00.000-07:00

If extra hold is what you're after, Session-Max Spray by Unite is it for you! Just be careful, once you spray your hair you better make sure that it's exactly how you want it. You can use GO365 if you want a workable spray, but I used Session-Max Spray at my last photo shoot and yes, oh yes did it do the job! I love it to pieces!!

Stepping AWAY from the Chair and into a PILE of FEATHERS!!

2011-05-24T13:25:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone!

I am sadly announcing that I am temporarily stepping back from behind the chair to run a feather/hair extension company with my friend and now business partner, Airie McCready. I can be available to do freelance work from time to time, but wont be able to book people on a weekly basis. My last day at the Salon is June 18, 2011. I am still only there Wednesday, Friday and Saturdays until that time, so book away!!! After that I totally feel comfortable referring you to a stylist at The Style Lounge or we can work out something on a when available basis.

Please visit http://www.thestyleloungecarlsbad.com/#!stylists to see all stylist available and their contact information at the style lounge. Feel free to visit www.AirHairExtensions.com to see what I'm up to!!

Love you all,

Behind the Scenes at the Air Feather Photo Shoot... Art and Creativity overflowing

2011-05-12T11:46:00.000-07:00

I had a blast working the Air Feather photo shoot at Voelker Studio, in Los Angeles, earlier this week. I was sad to cancel our other photo shoots scheduled, but one shoot was enough it turned out! We're getting ready to promote our cruelty free feather hair extensions and Christopher Voelker was the perfect photographer to do it! Puck joined us modeling feathers, Jeremy Kaikala and Melanie Manson also joined Air Feathers as the great make up talent. We had fabulous modeling talents, Nix Mione, Jessica Lee, Isabeau (Gia) Castle, and Breanna. They were the sweetest and most professional models to work with. Taylor Jameson cut amazing hair, Airie McCready and Mandy Florez (self) were feathering and styling up a storm!! I can't wait to see the photos, I'm splitting at the seams. I'm so impatient! :) I can't wait for the next shoot in my future!

Found Foundation Found

2011-05-03T13:22:00.000-07:00

Chanel makes makeup!? It makes sense... how did I not know. I had the privilege of being a model for a make up class with Jeremy Kaikala and Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation by Chanel was used on my face. I am so picky about foundations that I usually just go without. I hate feeling like I'm wearing paint on my skin. Just to do the simplest skin care preparation before you put your make up on is the first step into having great skin. After this foundation was applied it was so light weight, its aroma was light, clean and floral. It doesn't feel or smell light typical foundation. I forgot I was wearing it. I loved it.

"The tiniest drop of this new hybrid fluid creates a fresh, natural complexion. Skin looks refined and feels refreshed, creating an exquisite makeup experience. The fluid formula has a soft, water-light texture, and comes in 10 shades that match perfectly to skin’s undertones, whether pink or beige. Dermatologist-tested. Non-comedogenic. Oil- free."

#16 Foundation Brush

Other items used on my skin for make up preparation was Dior lip maximizer, Chanel lift concealer, Laura Mercier universal setting powder, and Perricone advanced eye therapy. All these products felt fantastic and set my skin up for a perfect makeup application.

Product of the Day!!

2011-04-27T16:26:00.000-07:00

1. Absolutely Weightless!
2. Lasts all day long
3. All hair types
4. So light and flexible you can flat iron on top (mild thermal protectant)
