What better way to see a battle than to see one with t-shirt designers, music, art, culture?!?! Yes, that’s right, t-shirt designers!

Hey it’s Syd! It’s so cool that I get to write about Syd Rocks and our upcoming awesome beach event. I was lucky enough to meet Billy Dec when I was 12 years old. He was hosting a charity event for Make A Wish and I was there since I was a “wish” child. This means that I had a life threatening illness and Make a Wish granted me a wish to help me get through the tough medical things I was going through at the time. I will never forget how much Make A Wish did for me and how much I appreciate Billy’s generosity and support for that organization.

Hey Chicago ladies! This Billy Dec’s intern Lauren Hurt again, here to let you know about another great fashion event coming your way! Cece & Melinda with Raymi Productions will be hosting this fun day at The Drake Hotel on Sunday, July 28th at 11:00 AM. This afternoon will be a fabulous excuse to get out of the heat and into this luxurious locale for a day of shopping and spa services.

You and all your friends will be able to browse through carefully handpicked collections of jewelry, makeup, handbags, skincare, and aromatherapy from wonderful Chicagoland boutiques.

It all started with a pair of red shoes. What if a business could take a simple pair of mass produced shoes and turn that into knowledge, into a way to track a customer’s desires? These are the questions that Jeremiah Green, CEO and founder of Purely Fashion asked on a shopping trip he took on Michigan Avenue. Jeremiah noticed a huge problem in retail, which is that once a customer leaves a store empty handed, the retailer loses all the data on that person. What if that could be changed? Enter Purely Fashion.

Hi, my name is Terrence Chappell and I’m the event chair for the Joffrey Auxiliary Board, and I’m writing to tell you about the board’s Blue Masquerade Ball.

Ten years ago, I attended my first Madhatter’s Ball, and it was unlike anything I had ever experienced! Lights, music, fanfare, and hats galore! Not only is this annual event an incredible spectacle, but the people I have met over the years through Lookingglass have become lifelong friends. The theatre brings extraordinary plays to the people of Chicago, and consistently engages our diverse community through talk-backs, volunteering, and educational outreach. I hope you will join me in supporting this wonderful organization of remarkably talented and caring people who create beautiful art, educate Chicago youth, and throw awesome parties!
