Retail Splash
Striking theatrical makeup is an instant way to evoke the circus feel on a budget - clown makeup, black and white and red are pure drama - for little cost involved. Use of colorful wigs or graphic shapes provides plenty of scope for innovative beauty looks. Don't forget the animal masks - or if any of you are lucky enough to have stashed actual venetian masks away - now is the time to pull them out and bejewel them!. Use top hats and huge bows and tons of large fashion forward costume jewelry. This is NOT the place to scrimp - at least on the visible points. You have probably already noticed this look around, as even Hollywood has gotten into the mix. This was a large section of the recent staging for Brittany Spears as she toured at the Tacoma Dome. One of the greatest pieces of this look is reflected in all of our memories, so this is a great asset to putting on the "Best Show In Town". Labels: Trends
Plan A Meeting With Special Interest
 In another look at our series of great things to do locally, try a little variety to perk things up. Everybody loves the incredible water we find ourselves surrounded by in the area. From Pierce to Snohomish County, we have it all and Argosy Cruises knows how to take you to just about every part of it. They say getting there is half the fun and if you add It's A Mystery to the Cruise or An Esp Experience, it takes on a whole new life of it's own. There is another option for you as you head out to the Puget Sound and that is Waterways Cruises. They offer several key cruise options so be sure and check them out for a customize cruise to fit exactly what your timeframe needs. Need to create a meeting environment offering some presentation options, then look no further than the Lincoln Cinemas in Bellevue. Don't forget to ask for the popcorn and candy concessions before the meeting starts! Labels: Local Events
Travel To Tacoma
As we continue our weekly feature on the local hotspots in the Seattle area we simply adore, we move slightly south to the area of Tacoma, Washington. Often an overlooked city in the shadow of its northern neighbor, Tacoma sits on the shores of the Puget Sound just 30 minutes south of Seattle. This is a city going through a renaissance. It is an exciting place to be with new restaurants and new hotels coming in to the area. Tacoma is actually the city with the perfect view of Mount Rainier, just ask anyone who has stayed or lived there. Here are a couple of fabulous places to stay and or have your meeting. We cannot speak of Tacoma without mentioning the Tacoma Dome, a major concert venue in this area, in addition to many many more fine restaurants such as the Pacific Grill. Be sure and stop in at the BITE Restaurant right at the Hotel Murano. Hotel Murano

Kill-A-Watt
By Guest Blogger Mark Verner  Do you always leave your cell phone charger plugged in continuously because it's convenient? Do you leave you computer or laptop on all night in "sleep" mode? Do you leave some kitchen appliances plugged in even though you only use them once a month?
Even though these items are not being used or turned on, they still drain power out of your outlets. During these tough economic times most people are doing everything they can to help save some money. How much money could you be saving? Well you can easily find out with the Kill-A-Watt Power Monitor by P3. With the Kill-A-Watt you can find out which appliances are the energy abusers in your house. The Kill-A-Watt will pay for itself in about two months. Check out the Kill-A-Watt at the Choose Renewables website. Labels: Going Green, Mark's Corner
