Singlelista STYLE: The Betty Peep Show


Being a singlelista is one part attitude and one part glam, and since we aim to give you fantastic attitude adjusters all week, we've decided to reserve Saturdays at The Singles' Salon specifically for  style!

Next week you'll meet and hear from the Salon's very own fashion editor (*faint*), but this Saturday we're gonna talk beauty... a very private kind of beauty that is!

I bet (hope!) many (all!) of you do some form of maintaining your "special occasions" area :) regularly, be it shaving, waxing, laser-ing or whatever.  However, I've recently come across some beauty enhancement solutions that take female grooming to a whole new level.

Now if you're anything like me the mere thought of placing hot wax or a sharp razor near your bikini line has you belting out the chorus of the fierce one's If I Were a Boy.

Well apparently we're not alone because a company called Betty (as in every woman has a "betty") has created the BettyBare conditioning body and bikini cream hair remover.  Now there's nothing novel about cream hair removals, so let me fast-forward to the pretty part.

If going bare isn't statement enough for you, then how about showing the world (Oh wait...definitely NOT the world!) your singlelista spirit by painting your betty pink! Not the pink type, ey? No worries! There's also blonde, blue, lilac, and ruby red, among others!



If you really want to get jiggy with it, pair your betty color dye with the Ready Betty ultimate stylin' kit, and give your girl the home design makeover you've always dreamed of. Feeling loving? How about a nice pink heart?  Feeling dangerous? Strike up a ruby red lightening bolt! With eight design stencils to choose from, you could really create a whole picture scape down there. (Although we highly advise that you don't!)



If these options still aren't glam enough for you, then you probably believe like my sorority sister that "The more bling the better!" In that case, the Alphabetty's got your name on it...literally.  For $2.99 a letter, you can place the name or initials of anyone you'd like down under with the help of peel and stick alphabet gemstones


I guess now we can finally answer the age old question, "Who's is it?" (Ooh...tasteless X-rated joke...sigh...please forgive me!)



Well singlelistas, if this is not a beauty secret, then I don't know what is!

Disclaimer: This is a style segment, not a product review. That means I am making no claims to having tried this product; I'm simply informing you that it exists. 

However, if you want in on the action and are feeling daringly beautiful, visit  Betty online and check out all the offerings.

Shoot me an email at Singlelistas@gmail.com and tell me which product you'd like to try.  The first person to send me an email with "Buy Me Betty" in the subject line will receive a free Betty product of your choice, under the condition that you will write a review to be posted here at The Singles' Salon.  Why? Because sharing is caring, singlelistas!

Alright ladies, get your betty style on!

Love life...every SINGLE moment of it!

SNO- Girls Just Wanna Have Fun


First and foremost I have to give honor to the original diva of Singlelistas Night Out (SNO), the one and only Cyndi Lauper who gave us this anthem more than twenty years ago. 

Nearly three decades later, the sentiment still holds true and we singlelistas know that life is too short to sit around waiting to be asked to the dance. 

So Fridays at The Singles' Salon is officially dedicated to Singlelistas Night Out (*cue confetti drop and raucous applause)!  We'll give you our suggestions for fairy tale evenings with the girls and you give us yours. Together, we'll make sure that our lives our lived to the fullest and that each and every weekend we paint the town pink!



This week we're encouraging everyone to have a "culturally chic" weekend (thanks Sandra!) by calling up a girlfriend or two (please note that gay boyfriends are welcomed;we'll chat about the importance of those very soon!) and feeding your passion for the performing arts (if you haven't yet acquired said passion, now is a great time to start fueling your new obsession!). 



The evening should progress as follows:

5:30- Singlelistas convene at a chic tapas restaurant within 10 miles of the performance venue for a two-hour session of dinner, drinks, and girl talk focused expressly on celebrity gossip, recent fashion purchases, drama at the office, and of course-- boys! (I know what you're thinking "This evening is supposed to be all about the ladies." And you're right, but let's face it, you're dying to tell your girlfriends about the ridiculous/sweet/ridiculously sweet thing that your crush said or did this week, and they are dying to hear about it!)

7:30- Arrive at the performance venue and find your seat.
(Note: most shows begin promptly at 8 PM.  You should plan to arrive 30 minutes before the show, tickets in hand, so as not to be "those women" walking in late. It's tacky and everyone in the theater will be talking about you. Besides, if you show up once the house lights have already gone down, you deprive everyone of the opportunity to see your new Jimmy Choos, and who doesn't love a good fashion show?!  Moral of the story-- don't be selfish, be on time!)

8:00- The curtain goes up and the entertainment begins.
(Shhh!--- NO TALKING! Save all comments for intermission.  Remember, we're fab, not obnoxious!)



10:30- The show concludes. You offer polite applause and  proceed to the nearest wine cellar or ultra-lounge,depending on your mood.  The key here is that drinking must be involved. After-show cocktails are an essential component of Singlelistas Night Out.

Until- That's what time you leave- whenever you feel like it, because not having to rush home is one of the perks of living single. (Don't you just love your life!)

We've taken the liberty of looking up and making recommendations for some artistically appetizing events happening in a few major cities.  If we didn't include your town, write us at Singlelistas@gmail.com  and tell us what show you and your girlfriends will be going to see. 

Atlanta-  The Phantom of the Opera
Chicago- Blue Man Group
Los Angeles- Thurgood
New York- The Heights
San Francisco- Wicked
Washington, DC- Avenue Q

Oh- a few critical rules for Singlelistas Night Out:

1. Look AMAZING
2. Look AMAZING
3. Take lots of pictures*
4. Look AMAZING
5. HAVE A FUN, FABULOUS, and UNFORGETTABLE EVENING!!

*Once your evening turns out fab, email us your SNO pics and we just may post them next week!

Love life...every SINGLE moment of it!
