Girls Gone Shopping

Ahh! Good to get a little change of scenery. But I'm back, citizens, and eager to tell you what's going down downtown.

This one goes out to all the ladies. On May 1st from 10am-6pm and May 2nd from 10am-5pm at the Stamford Plaza Hotel (aka, the thing you might still think of as the Sheraton) check out the Fairfield County Women’s Expo. This event features so many giveaways and activities, it's made my head spin. Some examples that caught my attention include:

- Giveaways such as a cosmetics, jewelry, skincare, Conair products, massages, teeth whitening, stays at resorts and even a lap band bariatric surgical procedure (does not include all costs, but still!).

- Over 200 vendors, many of which will offer presents suited for Mother's Day.

- Health screenings (some requiring reservations by calling (203) 276-5990).

- Back massages by Stamford Hospital and hand massages by CoCo Nail & Spa.

- A 5,000 square foot Natural Living area spotlighting vendors specializing in eco-friendly products and services.

- Wine and Cheese.

- 15 different seminars.

- Demos on fashion, hair, beauty and (obviously) karate.

- Psychic readings (which might help you predict surprise karate attacks).

Best to check out the website for the four billion things I didn't tell you about. Perhaps I'll see you there - I'll be the one changing into various different wigs so I can get repeat massages.
