Giveaway: Girls’ Night Out to See Hairspray!
Editor’s note: Congratulations to winner Pam Lewis of Lowell, mom to Riley, 6, Sophia, 2, and 10-month-old Amelia! Pam is taking her husband to the show because she can’t even remember the last date they had. Have fun, Mike and Pam!
We know just how important it is to get away with the girls every now and then. Sometimes it’s necessary to tap into our inner girl who loves to giggle, hook arms with her friends and take off on a little adventure.
We’re here to help with that.
Today we’re giving away two tickets to see Hairspray, Broadway’s Tony Award-winning musical-comedy phenomenon! And you know what else? Dinner at the fabulous Bordinos – as well as a basket full of hair products, courtesy of Rhonda Moulder (who writes the hair blog “Help Me Rhonda” on this website) and the salon Estella Studio.
FYI: Rhonda is moving to a brand new salon called Estella Studio, located at 1309 S. Walton, Suite 1, in Bentonville. Call her at 586-5100 or 464-4996 for an appointment at the 
new salon. Rhonda is putting together a collection of some of her favorite hair products for the winner of this giveaway, so that lucky mom will have lots of “good hair days” in her future.
We think this could be just what the doctor ordered for a hard-working mama who needs a night on the town with her best friend! Don’t you agree? Total value on this giveaway package is more than $200. Cha-ching!
If you think this sounds like fun, here’s how to sign up: Just click on the big orange comment button at the bottom of this post and tell us about your favorite beauty product(s). Do you have a favorite hairspray? Is there a lipstick that you just can’t live without? Would that particular mascara make it on your if-I-could-only-have-five-things-on-a-desert-island list? We’d love to know!
About the show: Hairspray makes its awaited return to Walton Arts Center after a crowd-pleasing performance in 2007! It’s a musical with a beat you can laugh to! This mega-hit is piled, bouffant-high with hilarity and romance. The New York Times said “If life were everything it should be, it would be more like HAIRSPRAY! It’s irresistible!“
Take a little trip back to 1962 Baltimore, when JFK was in The White House, John Glen was in orbit, Cadillacs had fins and bee-hive hairdos were in vogue. Watch as pleasantly plump 16-year-old Tracy Turnblad sets out to twist and shout her way onto TV’s most popular dance program, “The Corny Collins Show.” Can a big girl with big dreams – and even bigger hair – change the world…and still have time to win the boy she loves?
Based on John Waters’ 1988 film of the same name, Hairspray won a Grammy for Best Musical Show Album in 2002 and an astonishing eight 2003 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Sixteen years after the release of the original film, a second big screen adaptation of Hairspray hit theaters, starring John Travolta and Michelle Pfeiffer. Now, after two hit movies and a stunningly successful run on Broadway, this musical-comedy is back on tour.
About the food: Bordinos is just the perfect place for all special occasions! And celebrating girlfriends is something we consider special. They have the fancy drinks to go along with the delicious food — and desserts that are worth getting dressed up for.
Ladies Night Specials on Dickson Street: FYI: Walton Arts Center and Dickson Street businesses are celebrating a Hairspray night of fun by offering special discounts to ladies (Wednesday, March 10). The following restaurants, bars & retail stores are participating:
- Jose’s- $3 margarita madness with Karaoke
- Common Grounds- $4.25 cosmo’s and special appetizer menu
- Haug House- 1/2 price wings
- 21st Amendment- 1/2 price wine
- Private Gallery- Free pair of CZ or pearl stud earrings for Hairspray ticket purchasers between March 10- 13 (bring in ticket stub or program)
Don’t forget: Northwest Arkansas audiences can see this musical extravaganza for one night only on Wednesday, March 10 at 7 pm. Tickets range from $55.50 to $75.50 and can be purchased by calling the Walton Arts Center Box Office at 479.443.5600 or by visiting waltonartscenter.org.
Good luck, pretty mamas!

I love Clinique’s Egyptian eyeliner, it goes on smooth, the color is not as harsh as black, and has just a hint of sparkle. What more could you ask for.

I absolutley love Maybelline’s Shiny-Licious lip gloss. It makes me instantly feel a little prettier. It makes my lips look great. I also am addicted to hair serum… it makes my hair so soft and silky. One more thing I cant live without is face wash… if it smells good it’s even better. Talk about aroma therapy!!!

I really love Rockaholic Fun Times hairspray- I think I’ve tried every hairspray available in the US…. maybe some from over seas as well? TIGI’s Rockaholic ROCKS though- keeps everything in shape (I have fine, oily type hair) but isn’t hard or sticky- *party like a rock star!*

Year round, my favorite thing to keep my lips from drying out is Mary Kay Satin Lips Lip Balm. I put it on before I put on my lipstick. My lips never get chapped since I started using it. And one little tube lasts a looong time!
Comment from Lyndi
Time March 1, 2010 at 2:46 pm
My favorite make up is bare minerals. It has great coverage but allows your face to breath:) Also I have very full lips so my lip trick is applying vaseline instead of chap stick. It really helps keep them soft especially during these cold dry winter months:)

I do not wear makeup or use a lot of hair products but I do love the look of healthy hair and skin. I eat right, drink a lot of water and try hard to get enough sleep, easier said then done with a four year old, in an attempt to keep myself looking and feeling as healthy and well as possible.

I love, LOVE Lancome’s Bienfait tinted moisturizer. I have dry skin so I need to apply moisturizer before any kind of makeup and a lot of times I just wouldn’t apply any because I wanted my skin to breathe. Bienfait is perfect because it is creamy and it has SPF 30 (huge plus). You also only need, literally a tiny drop and it will give you perfect not-so-heavy coverage while moisturizing and protecting. Because I use so little of it, it lasts me months – which is great because it’s a little pricey. That has to be my favorite beauty product thus far.

I don’t wear a lot of makeup – I’m a stay-at-home mom of a 5 and 1 year old. When I do go out during the day I put on powder and lip gloss and I’m usually good to go. This give away sound like a lot of fun. I would take my sister. She lives in NWA, but we don’t see each other very often because of different schedules with kids, etc.. I think it would be a fun time to spend with her.
