Allow ME to be a part of YOUR next girls night in, birthday or party with a Bollywood Blast or Genie Dreams and Genie Belly Bliss themed event. Throw the ordinary out the window and let the extraordinary in the front door.”
· Salonniere Kimberley Thomson Morris says of her salon, “Things are slowly starting to happen here at the Intrepid Ladies Adventure Club and Tea Society. Since we have gained full salon status, I have been furiously planning amazing adventures and wondrous teas for the enjoyment of our members and their guests. Our first gathering will be a Witch's Tea on October 18, 2014 and on November 8, 2014, our salon will hold its Austentatious Afternoon Tea for new members at the Quail and Thistle Tea House in Capitola, California. December will find us at the Great Dicken's Christmas Faire on the 6th. Costumes are encouraged, but hardly necessary. There is shopping, roaming street entertainers, and a wonderful tea room at The San Francisco Cow Palace which is transformed in to Victorian London just for the occasion. Next year there will be hikes, and beach trips, and lunch in the city, and...well, you get the idea.”
· Georgia now has a Siren School Salon of its own – The Bohemian Belles, where a bit of bohemian flair and southern charm fuse together. Go on a ghost tales tour at Oakland Cemetery, one of Georgia's most historical cemeteries, or join the belles for a belly dance show, or perhaps have a moonlight picnic among the fireflies and magnolias. Let Bohemian Belles help ignite your bohemian soul and let your gypsy spirit soar!
