I AM MORE CAMPAIGN:<br />
This event was so amazing. It was my 59th Birthday Party, held at<br />
Numbers. I shared with 7 wonderful women from Christie’s Place,<br />
which is the only organization in San Diego dedicated to serving<br />
women, childre. and families infected and affected by HIV/AIDS .<br />
What a great gift this was being able to share my day with them. I<br />
could have not done this with out the help of HAIRSPRAY SALON<br />
located at 141 University Avenue in the heart of Hillcrest. They help in<br />
donating their time and talent by doing cut, style, and color for these<br />
women. Then upstairs, there were the M.A.C. Cosmetics makeup<br />
artists, who worked their magic! Big Thanks to Louis Orozco, Lady O’,<br />
and Matt Walker. You all made these women feel like queens. They<br />
were then ready to attend my birthday party and be QUEEN FOR A<br />
DAY!<br />
Here are a few quotes from a couple of the women:<br />
“ICSD & HAIRSPRAY put on an amazing event for me and the women<br />
of Christie’s Place (CP). The experience I had on Sunday was truly<br />
life changing. I made new friends and took away life-long memories.<br />
The Imperial Court S.D. gave me back my feminine side—I felt like a<br />
beautiful women again! I was so impressed by everyone involved, from<br />
the hairstylist to Jay Prince Royal and Empress Candi Samples, to the<br />
CP staff member that was there. They were so sweet and genuinely<br />
cared about pampering me on my special day. The owner of the salon<br />
(Hairspray Salon) told me to come in whenever I was ready for my<br />
next appointment and it would be on the house. I started to tear up<br />
because I knew this was great but I would never be able to keep it up<br />
for it would be too expensive—so knowing I can get my hair done at<br />
Hairspray’s for free means more than just a haircut. It’s giving me back<br />
my beauty and feminine side. I am grateful to Candi Samples, but also<br />
to CP for yet again providing me with such an awesome opportunity to<br />
show the world I am more than my status!”-Cinnamen Kubricky<br />
