OLT Meg’s SATC-Themed Bridal Shower!

Monday, May 24th, 2010

On Location Tours’ very own Online Marketing Manager, Meagan, had her own (surprise) Sex and the City event this weekend: her bridal shower!  Her bridesmaids brought a little NYC to York, PA with this fabulous themed event!

The event began with a mystery text instructing the bride to go home and look in her closet.  There she found a little black dress, hot pink accessories, and instructions to await her transportation that would arrive at 5:30pm.

At 5:30pm a taxi cab (how New York!) pulled up to take her to the shower destination, where she was met by her father, her future father-in-law, her brother, and her bridesmaids’ fathers, who had been serving as valets for the evening.

From there, she was welcomed to the SATC-themed bash by her bridesmaids and their accommodating hubbies, who dressed in tuxedo tees and served food and drink at the party.

No SATC-related detail was left out:

  • Guests’ stiletto’ed invite asked them to don the apparel of their favorite SATC character and a “costume contest” was later held, with the bride acting as judge.
  • Upon arrival, guests were instructed to select name tags indicating which SATC-character they most identified with: Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda
  • Hot pink and black were the colors of the evening
  • Flirtinis and cosmopolitans were the signature cocktails of the evening, served in hot pink martini glasses
  • Table centerpieces were comprised of black feathers, hot pink hydrangeas, and “diamonds”
  • A pink-and-black New York City skyline cake was baked using the Magnolia Bakery recipe and was adorned with a Manolo Blahnik and pearl necklace
  • The Sex & the City Movie soundtrack was playing throughout the evening
  • Guests received copies of the Sex & the City Movie DVD as prizes for the night’s various games
  • The bride received a SATC-themed gift from her bridesmaids, which included a gift bag for each character… each filled with character-appropriate lingerie (think conservative and classy for Charlotte; leopard print for Samantha)

Congrats, Meagan!

How are you celebrating Sex and the City week?!

On Location Tours partner, The Pleasure Chest announces that in response to the devastation in Haiti, 15% of sales nationwide in our Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York stores on Saturday, January 16th, 2010 will be donated to Partners in Health. Make your reservation for tomorrow’s SATC Tour to visit the Pleasure Chest and shop for a good cause!

Partners in Health is an organization that provides community-based health programs in Haiti and throughout the world. They focus on preventing common illnesses as well as HIV prevention and treatment, including the world’s first program to provide free, comprehensive HIV care and treatment in an impoverished setting. Haiti was the location of their pilot program, and they have been doing work there since 1998, so Partners in Health workers are rooted in the communities and their work there is incredibly crucial at this time.

“Since 1971 Pleasure Chest has been dedicated to serving our communities, and at this time we wish to join the global community in giving what we can to aid the people of Haiti,” says owner Brian Robinson.

Excuse Me? Manolo Blahnik “sick” of Sex & the City

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

From marieclaire.co.uk:

Carrie Bradshaw may adore her Manolo Blahnik heels, but the designer himself saves little love for the TV show that helped make his name.

As filming for the sequel kicks off in New York, Blahnik has revealed that he’s more than a little bored of being linked to the fashion-filled franchise, telling the Sunday Telegraph, ‘If people talk to me about Sex and the City I get sick.’

Although a designer for nearly 40-years, Blahnik’s status soared when Sarah Jessica Parker’s small screen fashionista namechecked her love of his heels week-after-week on the hit show.

Now, speaking on his newfound fame he told the paper in horror, ‘It’s sweet but it becomes too much and I don’t feel comfortable. I have never wanted to be a celebrity designer.’

Admitting the association had provided his business with a boost though, he added, ‘Well, we had a very good year last year, thanks to those stupid satin shoes (which SJP wore in the movie). That shoe saved our company.’

Filming for the SATC sequel started last week, with Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kim Cattrall all already spotted filming on location in NY.

And perhaps word of Mr Blahnik’s distaste had already got back SJP. While she was rocking her signature skyscrapers, there wasn’t a Manolo in sight, and she’s instead sported a string of Christian Louboutin designs. Looks like Carrie has a new favourite!
