Features / Events Wanna be a stiletto girl?
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 11:13 AM
Last night at Belk Theater, I noticed two women walking gingerly down the stairs. They were late for the show, but they seemed to be in no rush. In fact, each step was taken with extreme caution. I looked down at their feet and immediately sympathized: They were wearing stilettos. Very fly stilettos, too.
Maybe they're a part of the Stiletto Girls?
The Observer ran a story about the Stiletto Girls recently, a local networking group for women that has grown to about 252 members since it was founded in January.
Started by Charlottean Susan Bear in January, the group has grown every month, and about 40-50 people attend the meetings, held the first Thursday of every month. Bear, whose day job is with Carolinas Healthcare System, lines up door prizes and vendors.Her motivation for starting the meetup.com group was simple, she says, and is without strings.
She loves to boutique shop, knows a lot of people in the fashion and beauty business, and wanted to create a place where women could socialize, network and find out more about the retail options available in Charlotte.
Their next event will be May 28: Luxury Special Stiletto Girl Event Benefit Brow Bar at Belk Southpark. The next monthly meetup will be June 4 at Apostrophe Lounge. Click here to check out their meetup.com page.
