(San Francisco, CA): Vessel puts a fresh and sexy spin on how to go shopping. On Thursday, March 18th 2010 from 5‐9pm, Vessel brings together local and international designers and artists for a one night only event. As the sexiest underground nightclub in San Francisco with a reputation of attracting some of the city’s most influential trendsetters, it is no surprise that Vessel has turned to fashion. They are located in the heart of San Francisco’s shopping district, Union Square, making it that much more seductive for fashion addicts to add one more stop to their shopping destinations on March 18th.

Whether fashion lovers add Revelation Couture to their list or make it their final destination, R.C. is the fashion event for fine style connoisseurs looking to find the perfect new accessory to make their closest that much more unique. R.C. features some of the most fashion forward and innovative designers of right now, and by bringing them all together for one night, it is fashion lovers’ dreams
come true.

Revelation Couture is the premier style event of the season. R.C. hosts nine+ fashion lines including Harputs Market in Union Square; Litter by two of 7×7’s “Hot 20 under 40” Rachael Mann and Mackenzie Burdick; Fida and Hoda Fadel of Posh Boutique from Beirut, Lebanon; Platinum Dirt by Dustin Page and as seen worn by Jamie Foxx, Jeremy Piven, and Adrian Grenier; Marisa Youlden who has designed jewelry for celebrities such as Pink, Beyonce, and many more; and Martha Davis with shoe designs that have been compared with the finest Italian shoe artisans. The R.C. line‐up also features art from the infamous Baron von Fancy and Hoda Fadel and cuisine by Chef Anthony Gregg from the W and St. Regis.

In addition to one of the most impressive designer line‐ups of any design showcase or trunk show that San Francisco has ever seen, Revelation Couture is also hosted by some of SF’s most influential fashion and art leaders. Charisse Nash, Rachel Lena Esterline, Nicole Presents, Alesha Rogness (The Style A), and Virginie Suos (San Francisco Fashion) come together to toast an evening of beautiful fashion and art under one roof with special guest DJ’s spinning all night. And with no entrance charge and $6 champagne cocktails, the problem will not be getting to the event but being the first to snag all the best items before someone else does.

10 point checklist for your business in 2010

VerticalResponse, an e-mail marketing company for small businesses, featured the top 10 things that businesses should be seeking to do in 2010.

We’ve highlighted a few below, but there are so many great ones, see the full article!

1. Use Social Media with Email Marketing – Finally get your act together with social media this year. Start with Twitter and Facebook, it’s easy. Then set your goals on how many Twitter followers your business will get or how many Facebook fans you’ll attract. Make sure you tell your email marketing recipients to follow you when you send out a campaign. And don’t forget to post your links to your email campaigns in your Twitter account and Facebook pages and ask people to join your email list. All of these marketing vehicles work really well together and feed off of each other.

2.  Use “Cause Marketing” – This is the year that you should identify your business with a worthy cause and either donate a percentage of profits to it or contribute to it in some way. And if profits or hard cash don’t fit, consider donating employee time. Then in your email marketing campaigns, your marketing materials and sales pitches you should talk about what you’re doing and why it’s important to you. Your prospects and customers increasingly want to do business with a business that cares and has moral obligations, and they’re looking for you to let them know how you fit the bill.

Everything she makes is tiny – tiny wish pots, tiny cards, and tiny floral arrangements.  Using positivity, wit and humor Brielle weaves messages with big impact into these teenie tiny things. In a world of mass production, Breality is a breath of fresh air!

“In times like these it is essential to share positive energy. Art has always been a way for me to turn the bad feelings of dark times into rays of light and lessons of wisdom. For many years I have played with various mediums, fueled with the desire to always try something new. I am proud to announce that I have found the key to sharing the positively charged world I call Breality in a very tiny, precious and exceptionally affordable box set.”
