National Specktra meet?

[Janice]

I doubt we'll be standing around outside other than hopping in cabs or walking short distances.

I've lived in Vegas and have visited on a number of occasions, The only time I have ever done the walking the strip thing was at night and it turned into one of those bicycle chariot rides. During the day you stay indoors and can be quite entertained. As far as those who don't do the naughty things that Vegas is known for.... well it became kid friendly. It is the entertainment capital of the world and it is in the US, I mean if someone didn't make a lot of it family friendly then someone would have sued, and won!

Don't be so discouraged, it is a dry heat, no humidity so it is way different as far as sweating your hieney off. I mean it is hot but the temperature isn't like you would imagine. I drove through Texas once... ahem, the side of the cars interior melted and the big ass sucker I had melted to the floorboard!

Hah, we could all storm the Vegas CCO.

That would be awesome! They wouldn't know what hit them and I doubt that they would have much left after we left!

um... a whole bunch of MAC addicts in one store, I'll bring the camera. Sure to be some Kodak moments there!

[syrene78]

This summer doesn'twork for me at all...
Next year, around the spring would be much better. Less hot and some time to save enough money. The entertainments are rather expensive in Vegas.

[melliquor]

I couldn't do this year at all... just came back from hols and going to Europe in March and then Egypt in August. I don't have any money left for this year. I am definately up for 2010... I can do June - August.

[CantAffordMAC]

Ireally hope this happens in 2010.

[Janice]

I'm sure we can do something once a year.

[mscasanova]

Im so in. My sis would love to go to! AND I saw a few prospects for drinking buddies!

Dont Judge me!

[couturesista]

I'm in. I would really love to see all the Spektrettes/ers "IRL"! Maybe we can have the meet during one of the MAKEUP SHOWS in Vegas, just a thought.

[coachkitten]

Have any dates been decided yet?

[HeavenLeiBlu]

I voted March 2010, but just about anything after the 2nd week in March would be fine for me.

[Brittni]

Oooh!! I have always waited for a national meet up (thought I was the only one who secretly thought it'd be cool LOL) however I don't think Vegas is the place for it. What about us who are like 20? :/ Personally, fun doesn't involve mandatory alcohol or gambling for me but I would hate not to be included because I wasn't allowed in certain places due to my age after I traveled all the way to Vegas to hangout! lol

Also, I would reconsider choosing August as the month. That's the month that most people begin going back to school and a lot of us Specktrites are in college.

I understand this is for Vegas but maybe you could consider doing a poll on other suggestions based on temperature the month it's planned for, attractions, etc.

[shyste]

This sounds nice...I would love to attend!...I voted also...

NO! It's worse!

Ahhh bittersweet memories of me walking out my hotel and having my face blasted off from the "DRY" heat that hits you like a MAC truck! The word is "sweltering"

I think this is great idea long overdue...but it's soooo lovely in the fall or spring - off season, of course, before the rain sets in. October in Vegas is Heavenly! I cannot stress enough my feelings about a Makeup Maven's need for mild weather!

Don't believe me? Try applying your Cremesheen lippies with their Cremesheen Glass over it and then take your hairdryer to your lips for five minutes!!! Tell me what you see after!



This will be fun! It would be incredible if we had some seminars/workshops/tutorial classes, maybe even get a MAC Rep to come and give a talk or an Artist to give a seminar. It's possible they'd probably jump at the chance. I've been to enough Fashion Doll Conventions across the country to know that this definitely adds to the meet-up experience.

I bet you they'd even do a exclusive souvenir lippie for it- not a free lippie, but souvenir we'd pay for! If at least 150 people commited to going and you charged $60-$65 for the whole weekend you could probably get them to do one!

One can dream?!?

Just think of the names they could call it:

L. V. Rendezvous,
Specktra,
Luck Be A Lady,
Viva Las Vegas, Baby

Oh wouldn't it be fabulous to name the souvenir lippie after the host Hotel:

Stardust (Just for old times sake...I miss it so!)
MGM Grand!
Circus, Circus
Venetian Pink
Mêlée At The Mirage
Brunch At The Bellagio
The Strip
Luxor-y
Wynn, Wynn

All Frosts of course! O.K. so they sound like an OPI Nail Polish collection waiting to happen. Oh Janice is going to kill us!

O.K. so no souvenir lippies.

The would have to know we were coming, after all, since they'll have to serve champagne and hor d'oeurves for us Darlings!

[Susanne]

I would love to come to Vegas in 2010!!! As an international meet

There will be my 30th birthday in October 2010

I will have vacations in July and October 2010 - could this be a possible date as well??

[pdtb050606]

Have any dates been decided?

[FemmeFatale]

A national meet up would be awesome, a make up show would be a great idea. I would definitely go to a make up/ specktra convention.

I travel quite alot internationally and domestically for work and personal reasons. I don't know if I would come to Vegas for it though, I absolutely despise that city!

[cupcake_x]

Yes, I'd definitely go to a June 2010 meet-up.

[chocolategoddes]

Yeah, let's see if I can convince my parents to allow their underage daughter to fly to Vegas by herself to meet a bunch of makeup obsessed strangers she met on the internet.
Maybe if it was in 2020, it'd be a different story, but you never know.

Sounds like a ton of fun! I've been wanting to attend a Specktra meetup for a long time! Vegas would be crazy!!!!

[BBJay]

Chocolategoddes, I think we could totally pull it off.
We could always use "but all the other underaged specktrettes are flying to Vegas alone to meet makeup obsessed strangers that THEY met on the internet!!"

I so wish I could go.

[VintageAqua]

2010 would be AMAZING! Gives me enough time to save for the trip and EVEN more time for the MAC PRO store!

[GlamQueen21]

2010 would be so awesome! That'll give me plenty of time to save up money and my chance to go to the MAC Pro store!

[MacPinkFlamingo]

You would not believe how often I erupt into a soaring chorus of, "Luck Be A Lady" but rarely has it ever been more appropriate than during the reading of this thread...



My vote is June 2010...I'll be 30 June 15, 2010 so this will give me an alternative to the glass of wineand jagged cliff itenerary I have been envisioning. (Me=30...math problem has never been more true!)

MAC... Vegas... MACPro... WayneNewton... CCO... Specktrettes... MAC... GLITTER... MAC... NEON LIGHTS... MAC...

Yeah, I'd definitely postpone that cliff thing until 40 for that CoCtail! Speaking of CoCtail...


'Nuff said! I rest my case...
