Frinj Loves Kristinia!

The Frinj Webmistress had the AWESOME opportunity today to visit with the folks at Universal Music Group - who have been prepping Dallas for the arrival of Kristinia DeBarge!

Kristinia is here on tour - (opening for Britney Spears on the Circus Tour) - and Dallas is in for a HUGE treat tonight - for the concert.

What a GREAT talent Kristinia is - and SO very sweet and professional. She was fresh, beautiful and friendly - a true superstar - and, at only 19 - and we know she's going to keep growing and topping the charts.

Certainly, her hit song "Goodbye" - the first release from her new album, Exposed - is stuck in my head (and my three year old loves the "na na na na" part). I'm not too proud to admit my age and say "In my day" I did have some serious teased hair, head-bandanas, oversized shirts + shoulder pads - when reenacting the MTV video of the Bananarama version of "Goodbye" with my girlfriends - but I have to say - I LOVE this one better. It's much more soulful and hip - and a totally different song.

However - I have to say - the real treat today for me - was the acoustic version we got of her second release, "Sabotage" - is something that about brought us to tears - In a good way - you know - where the little hairs on your arm stand at attention? Her voice was spot-on, and the guitarist, Eric (seen in the video below) - was fab, too. They rocked the songs together like a hand in a glove! I guess they've had some practice - it was AWESOME. We listened to the CD/Studio version of the same song on the way home - and it's just as great! (See below for video from event! and don't forget to pay special attention to SABOTAGE!)

Not only is this song SO easy to relate to - it's catchy, true (for almost all of us girls - and everyone really!) and sung so well by Kristinia. Below is a link to a video from Kristinia's site - offering an acoustic version of the second release from her new album - and here's Frinj wishing her only the best - and offering an open invite to visit us anytime she's in Dallas!

DID YOU KNOW? We were cool enough to get to do Kristinia's nails! She paid us a visit - and Barbara - our super-nail doer extraordinaire was in awe! Barbara is a HUGE fan of Kristinia's dad - JAMES DEBARGE - and the group DEBARGE from the 80's! We'll have pics soon!

SIP-N-SWAP - New Date!

As you might know - we've planned a super cool event called Sip-N-Swap!

It was originally planned for Tuesday May 12th, but due to recent Swine Flu school cancellations and event delays - we understand your schedule is chaotic at best right now. To accomodate, we've moved the date to Tuesday June 16th. Visit our website for the details!

What is it? It's an exclusive clothes-swapping event for those of you who prefer NOT to deal with long lines or crowded stores, or pay the high prices for new duds. It's for those of us who'd love to socialize a bit, drink a glass of wine - then indulge in that animal-like instinct of getting some new-to you items for only the ticket price of $20.00! It's a FASHION FRENZY! Look below for more tips on how to maximize your sipping and swapping experience.

What's even better - is that all leftover clothing will be donated to The Family Place.

OK, I'm In! What do I do?

First, buy your ticket. Visit www.sip-n-swap.com to purchase your tickets online. Tickets are 20.00, or you can call Frinj Salon & Spa at 469-361-0017.

Next, pick out at least five gently-worn or even new items from your closet that you don't wear. It can be apparel, jewelry, handbags, shoes or other accessories. No holes or stains, please - clothes must be something you consider in great condition, something you'd want to swap FOR!

Finally, come to Frinj Salon & Spa (visit website for directions, map and phone number) on Tuesday, June 16th at 7:00 PM to SIP-N-SWAP!

DATE: Tuesday June 16th from 7:00 PM until 9:30 PM
WHERE: Frinj Salon & Spa

Sippin' & Swappin' TIPS:

1/ Buy your ticket online or call to purchase tickets. Once you've received your ticket, we recommend you drop off your donation to Frinj Salon & Spa prior to the event, and we'll stamp your ticket that your clothing contribution has been received. That leaves only your showing up to sip a bit, then SWAP for some new glam-gear!

2/ The night of the event, dress with boxers or shorts and a tank top under your clothing. This will make it easier for you to try on things to make sure they fit. We'll have mirrors around so you can quickly verify your capture before you claim it!


Want to know more? Contact us at 469-361-0017 for more information, or visit our website. We can't wait - and hate that we've had to postpone it. But our clients and friends told us that right now was just not a good time with so many changes in important plans like graduation, school closures, childcare issues and everything surrounding the Swine Flu outbreak in North Texas. We've accomodated by pushing the event out by a few weeks.

But you know what that means.... MORE TIME EQUALS MORE CLOTHES. You can expect the clothing crop to be MUCH better given that we've got more time to 'Spring Clean' our closets!

Happy SWAPPING!
