QC After Dark / News A bar of beauty
Posted By Brittney Cason on Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 5:37 PM
Last week, The Shops at Caramel Village converted into a beauty bash during the Beauty Crawl. But there wasn’t too much crawling – now I’m not talking about the Santa bar crawl where people dressed like snowflakes and elves were stumbling from bar to bar pretending to be led by an imaginary Rudolph while girls in slutty santa suits were chanting “Ho, Ho, Ho!”
Although, this crawl was festive in it’s own right.
The Beauty Crawl was a quaint party including two makeshift beauty bars and a tea bar: Salon Tribeca, Skin Elements, and Urbana City Spa & Tea Bar.

Posted By Jeff Hahne on Fri, Dec 12, 2008 at 10:35 AM
Each Friday, we bring you 10 CD reviews done in 10 words each —
Dion Heroes — Tearing through classics, you’d never guess he’s 70-years old.
Semi-Precious Weapons We Love You — Garage-style glam rock with androgynous singer is campy fun. (At the Milestone on Jan. 29, 2009)
Hoots and Hellmouth Hoots and Hellmouth — Gospel-fused roots rock is sure to get feet moving.
Various Artists Punisher Soundtrack — Plenty of metal including a new song by Rob Zombie.
Hillary Duff Best of Hillary Duff — It’s an oxymoron to say Best of and Hillary Duff.
Laura Reed & Deep Pocket Live at Tree Sound Studios — Soulful singer brings the funk with a hint of blues.
Portugal. The Man Censored Colors — A bit of mellowed-out Mars Volta-style psychedelic rock.
The Radiators Wild & Free — New Orleans quintet releases swamp-soaked live, rare rock compilation.
The Bridge Blind Man’s Hill — 12 tracks of rock mixed with Southern soul, country, funk.
Solange Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams — Beyonce’s sister tries her best to separate herself…poorly accomplished.
