The salon just participated in my favorite event of the year – the American Cancer Society’s Silhouettes of Spring Fashion Show! Why is it my favorite event of the year?  Because not only does it involve my favorite thing – getting’ all gussied up- it also raises money to fight a disease that has effected the life of everyone on the planet (cancer), and I get to work with the most amazing women (both the fashion show volunteers and the models).
 

Each model in the fashion show is either currently going through treatment or is a cancer survivor. Regardless of the pale skin and little hair, these models have never looked more beautiful, because they are fighting for their lives with strength and grace. It’s also encouraging to see models who had no hair last year feeling well, laughing and having their hair styled! 
I’m so proud of our staff; they take off work and donate their entire day to making others look and feel great. This year Janet Hale, Melanee Montalvo, Michelle Viscal, Jamie Weiss and I (Charla Malone) did hair and makeup for the show.

It was a moving and unforgettable day. Although I must admit, I can’t wait for the year when there is no fashion show, because the cure for cancer is found!
 
And Susan McCorkindale was the Master of Ceremonies!
