To all the Mystic Women !!!

We began a "test run" of some of the portraits which will be hung at Salem Ink for the show.  Will be taking a few to the shop in a couple of days to get a "visual" on the placement and sizes that will be printed/mounted on the walls of the gallery .  As I stated before, my Loki is assisting with this project ever so gallantly...Thanks Loki!!!  

I just wanted to tell you all how truly breath-taking they are...I had forgotten just how gorgeous these portraits are!  Of course the prints will REALLY be impressive.

Job well done gals...job well done!

Wow, it is REALLY a muggy afternoon here in our lovely Salem towne!

The City/Mayor Kim, has given us a free ad on the Haunted Happenings website.  Check it out at the below link!  Unfortunately we missed the deadline for Destination Salem...maybe next year!

I'm sure most of you know that advertising during the month of October is SKY HIGH no matter what form of media you choose.  The ad does not reflect the "show" dates/hours (they just wouldn't do it) however, that information will be on all of our other PR materials.  Just FYI - show dates and hours are as follows:  10/10/14 - 7pm to 9pm,  10/11/14 - 7pm to 9pm.  Sunday 10/12 7pm to 9pm is our "invitation only" show.   

All the Mystic Women are encouraged to attend as much as your schedules allow - you MUST come during one of the show dates/hours - so you can experience it (after all this entire project is about you, your businesses and your stories).  Again, I encourage all of you to go by Salem Ink on Derby and introduce yourselves to Loki and his staff...be sure to tell them you're an MWS woman!  I will remind everyone that this is our last PUSH to beef up our blog and facebook numbers (likes and followers) so continued to pass on our project info to everyone you know...come October we will literally be "pounding the pavement" and working the masses as well as word of mouth.  We expect BIG numbers !!!

It is VERY basic but you know the saying "beggars can't be choosers"!  

Corrections have been made.  The cropping was necessary as they only had "x" amount of space (the City employees did the cropping).  BUT, we should be thankful for the free publicity (even though they wouldn't specify the show dates/times)...oh well.

Ordering supplies this week...and boy oh boy the real work begins!  

Enjoy summer everyone ....(yuck too hot/humid for me) hee hee

Good Afternoon Everyone!  Two new sponsors of the MWS project!

*  I have spectacular news, we're having an Exhibition/Show/Fundraiser during the month of October 2014!!!   The contracts were signed yesterday...our host and new sponsor is Loki (proprietor) of Salem Ink Tattoo and Art Gallery at 201 Derby Street in downtown Salem (right across from Tache' Real Estate).  Loki is a college buddy of mine from a couple of years ago.

*   Salem State University, Center of Performing and Creative Arts Division are official sponsors as well!  Because of this grant we are going to be able to get all of our shots printed, mounted and displayed during the busiest time of year in Salem...OCTOBER of course.

We begin final editing and preparations to print in July, 2014 - ha, NEXT MONTH folks!

Now, you may be wondering why a show pre-publication?  The answer is as old as the hills...money talks and bs walks, that's why.  The grant came my way and after much discussion with the Project Manager, we just could not pass up this opportunity.  As I have said many, many times, beefing up our "likes" (let's not forget followers!) on the blog especially and on facebook is absolutely critical when we take the prototypes to New York and meet with Agents and Publishers.  Plain and simple...it won't happen without them.  Our intention for this years PR blitz, Show and Exhibition is just that to BEEF UP NUMBERS!   During the Exhibition dates we will be conducting a fundraiser as well.  This is also critical.  You can just imagine how much money it is going to cost to have prototypes printed at a "fine art" level of quality...hence the fundraiser.

The dates are as follows: 

Pr blitz and Campaign - the entire month of October.  A few of the MWS ladies and I will be "working" the crowds and handing out 3x5 cards prior to our show dates.

We will be in Haunted Happenings and Destination Salem this year - not sure about their deadlines however, I'm sure it's this summer (we may have to use the original poster/card design for this-just not enough time to complete a new design).  Loki has generously offered to promote our event with the Chamber of Commerce!  Thanks Loki !!

The Show/Exhibition/Fundraiser at Salem Ink is 10/10/14 through 10/14/14 - SHOW hours/dates will be 7 - 9pm on 10/10, 10/11 and 10/12.  Of course the MWS Team will be there each night and the MWS ladies will attend any of the show dates they choose.  This is perfect, that way our featured women will be present each night...sprinkle a few on the 10, sprinkle a few on the 11, and sprinkle more on the 12th (it is your choice ladies, as to which night you can come).  One night will be an event (by invitation only) - more on that later.

Busy, busy, busy - I will keep you all updated as we progress.

Many, many thanks to our sponsors, Salem State University and Salem Ink Tattoo. 

Here's Loki's web site www.Saleminkma.com and his email - loki_ink@hotmail.com.  If you're in the neighborhood stop by and say hi and by all means check out the shop and the art that is being shown!

VERY EXCITING EVERYONE !!!   R :}
