Lisa's Picks for the Gift Giving Season

The Holiday Season is upon us. Shopping for gifts can sometime feel like a task. I thought it may be helpful to offer a bit of gift giving advice to our Sexy Skins followers.

Fashion is in my blood (I was probably designing clothing in my Mother’s womb and she and my Grandma were sewing before they ever learned how to ride a bicycle). I have my BFA degree in Fashion Design. I can draw, paint, decorate...you name it, if it has anything to do with creating, I can do it. Besides all that, I usually am the one you will speak with when you call Sexy Skins or email with questions or to place an order. I'm always the one who measures our clients, and the one who drafts their pattern. I am the only designer for Sexy Skins. I am also Sexy Skins best customer!! I have worn everything!! Who better than me to handle the responsibility of helping you do your Sexy Skins shopping?

So without further ado, here are my 10 top Sexy Skins picks:

10. Zen Cuff….what I love about the Zen Cuff is pretty simple; it looks hot on my man! And I have to admit, it looks hot on every guy I have seen wear it. It’s a simple, uncomplicated and sexy design. Period.

http://www.etsy.com/listing/47631018/the-zen-cuff

9. Kiss Me Halter…one of my favorite halter designs because it looks great on every woman whom I have made one for, and here’s why: It was designed that way! It was meant to flatter the figure and lift the puppies. To ensure that, all I need is her bra and cup size. Waist measurement helps too. If you’re not sure what color combinations she may want, then a gift certificate may be the way to go.

8. Large Brown LOVE Pouch….I confess, was a designer’s accident and I’m glad it happened! It’s different, attractive, and functional. This is a great leather bag to cart around your makeup, school supplies or travel goodies. And, 10% of its sale is donated to charity through Etsy Project Embrace.

7. X-Cuff…is available in so many pretty colored rhinestones including Black (Black is missing from the photograph)!! Just the right amount of bling to keep the look sophisticated and classy, but without losing that biker style. It’s a great looking cuff! And made with the same top grade latigo leather used on our belts except the X-Cuffs are a little thinner making them comfy to wear.

6. Sequoyah Suede Scoop….one of my personal favorites for the color alone. I LOVE purple! I LOVE the scooped front! It shows just the perfect amount of cleavage so you feel sexy, and classy while wearing it. It’s affordable too!

http://www.etsy.com/listing/61303087/the-sequoyah-suede-scoop-halter-top

5. LOVE Belt….this is one nice belt just for the leather we use alone. We don’t line the belt because we don’t have to. We use top grade, thick, latigo leather in black or brown. All we need is the size you want it (instructions on how to measure are posted on the listing to purchase). A great looking belt with a beautiful buckle which coordinates perfectly with the entire LOVE Series Line with 10% of the sales donated to charity through Etsy Project Embrace.

4. LOVE Hip Pouch/Purse….I created the design and made the prototype based upon my own personal needs. I wore it around on and off the motorcycle for a while, then went back to the drafting board to make changes to the design, and voila! I LOVE the LOVE Hip Pouch/Purse!! It’s so versatile…one minute it’s a hip pouch attached to your belt loops, then in seconds, you can clip the shoulder strap on and you’re good to go wearing it as a purse instead. I think the design is just beautiful and it matches the LOVE Belt and other LOVE accessories!! I LOVVVVVVVVVVVE it!

http://www.etsy.com/listing/47502193/the-new-and-improved-love-hip-bag-purse

3. Trilogie Cuff…rugged, sexy, masculine all in one cuff!!! When I see a guy wearing the Trilogie, I get the goose bumps. There’s just something about the way it looks on a man’s wrist. The photograph does not do it justice. You really have to see for yourself.

http://www.etsy.com/listing/61304310/trilogie-latigo-leather-cuff

2. Heaven Halter…we sell more of this design than any other, and in all different colors, and even some with little changes like; closing up the front tummy, the addition of side slits, and covering up the extra bit of junk in the back…oh and ask me about my little cutlet secret. The Heaven makes my top 10 list not just for those reasons but because, you can wear it without wearing a bra! All Sexy Skins are designed that way – to lift and support! I hate bras!

http://www.etsy.com/listing/7301787/the-blue-heaven-lambskin-leather-halter

1. And my number ONE Sexy Skins pick is……drum roll please……honestly, I couldn’t decide! It is a toss-up between the Santa Fe Suede Halter and all the custom clothing we create here at Sexy Skins (in case you haven’t heard, Sexy Skins is NH Magazines Best for Custom Leather).

I love the Santa Fe for its beautiful cut. This design ROCKS!!! It supports! It lifts! It separates! It looks great in suede! It looks fantastic in leather (Vegas Heat)! Beautiful with the addition of bling, with grommets, or with an inlay design…even with nothing at all! It feels beautiful on your skin! It is sexy, and it looks good on every single woman I have seen it on from the tiniest of busts to the double D’s. The Santa Fe is my all-time favorit, by far!!!

http://www.etsy.com/listing/15025953/the-brown-santa-fe-suede-halter-top

I get so much joy making people happy so the experience of working intimately with an individual to design and create a custom piece that they will enjoy wearing for a long time, also has to be my number one pick. Some of my most creative pieces have come from working with some very extraordinary people. We even have seen Sexy Skins being worn on television! Maybe you will recognize one…

Well, that’s it….Lisa’s Top 10 Sexy Skins Picks for 2010. I hope this is of some help. If not, there's always a gift certificate!

1st Annual Ride for the Cure was a HUGE SUCCESS!!!!

Brenda Smith
New England Walkers for Knockers


What an unbelievable Day! With over 200 bikes in attendance and $8,013 raised - the First Annual Ride for the cure was a huge success!

Thanks to mother nature, the sun was shining bright and there was not a cloud in the sky! The wind was a bit harsh and the temps were brisk, but that didnt' stop anyone from joining in on the beautiful escorted foliage ride along the back roads of New Hampshire. Thank you to all the police officers who escorted the ride and also the road captains and road guards who got us to our desination in a safe and timely manner.



We were joined by Portsmouth Firefighters who proudly displayed one of their fire trucks at Seacoast Harley-Davidson in honor of Sarah Fox; who is one of the individuals who will benefit from this fundraiser.



Bikes were decorated with pink bandanas, bras and one very special one remembering a loved one that had recently passed from breast cancer. The riders and passengers were also wearing pink in support of the cause! There would be no doubt this was a breast cancer ride.



The energy on the morning of the ride was amazing! Everyone was so excited to be part of this event. The riders started rolling in as early as 8am and everyone enjoyed coffee and donuts as they talked amongst the other ride particpants. We had participants who drove from as far as Pennsylvania and we were also joined by a few people from China!

Brenda Fox joined us as the grand marshal of our ride. She walked the crowd all morning and met many of the ride participants and took many pictures with everyone. She also had the opportunity to get to know many of them while sharing stories about her life experiences, their life experiences and with some, their experiences with breast cancer.

As we rolled into Manchester we were honored to be able to parade down Elm Street. Thanks to Mayor Gatsas for welcoming the ride at Granite Street and alsofor making an appearance at Jillian's.

The Sexy Skins Fashion show was a big hit! Brenda Fox was the MC of the show. Thank you to the Sexy Skins Models and everyone who was involved in the fashion show. Thanks also to Sexy Skins and Bizznatch Bling for the beautiful top they donated to the event which raised over $300.00.

There were many other raffle itmes donated which raised over $800.00. NE-W4K team mate Lori Elwell did a fabulous job showering the crowd with tons of tshirts and other give aways and had fun doing it!

We also had a few vendors and Clubs at the event, Wicked Paintworks, Cabin Fever and the East Coast Biker Chicks. Thanks also to the Elliot Breast Center of Manchester for attending the event and speaking with our participants about breast cancer.

We met so many wonderful people and everyone exrpressed they had a great time at the event. There were many stories shared about people who had been personally touched by breast cancer and they were very grateful to everyone who was involved in putting this event on.

With this being the first Ride for the Cure for NE-W4K, we had no idea how many people to expect. We were elated to see over 200 bikes attend the ride. As with any event, there are growing pains and there is always room for improvement. Overall, we felt the event was a very positive experience for everyone who was involved.

Thank you to our event sponsors, Robert Burns of Baystate Financial Services, Exeter NH, Walls Ford, Salisbury , MA and IRA Toyota of Manchester. Also thanks to Seacoast Harley-Davidson for hosting our event and to the employees for catering to the rde participants. Thanks also to Jillian's Billiards and it's employees for throwing a great after party bash. Also Thank you to Sweetshot photography, Robert Daniels, Brian Lumb Photography, Radioedit, DJ Adam Furious and Sexy Skins for making the After Ride Bash, FUN, FUN, FUN!

Our sincerest thanks to everyone that helped with this event. Everyone that took part in this event donated their time and services 100%. And, thanks to that and to our sponsors, 100% of the proceeds raised from this event will be donated! This event was a total team effort and would not have been possible without the help and supupport of everyone involved.

NE-W4K has three goals when organizing our events; 1.) raise money, 2.) raise awareness, 3.) get people involved in helping others. We are thrilled to say we reached each of these goals with this event!

Thank you all for Making A Difference.

Well for me anyway. As some of you know, on September 24, 2007, my beautiful sister Dianne died from Leukemia. Less than 2 1/2 months later, my mother died from Cancer. Not only did both experiences feel like the life was sucked out of my soul, it changed my perspective on life and business. I realized how valuable time is. Once it ticks away, it's gone forever...you can never get it back. So I now make every attempt to use my time wisely, and spend it with people who are deserving of it, and doing things that bring joy, peace, love and happiness to myself and others.

So many people have told me that in business, you cannot help others until you can stand on your own two feet. That I must wait until we are profitable before I can move mountains. Well, after watching my two "go-to" women die from such a horrible disease, that perspective didn't sit too well. I had a vision and designed the "LOVE" Series where Sexy Skins donates 10% of the sales from those items to The Cancer Society, through a team called Etsy Project Embrace. I received an email no too long ago stating that the Project Embrace Team will be adding other charitable organizations in which we can donate to. Yesterday I got word of which those are and I'm so excited! They are:

1.American Hospice Foundation
2.Children’s Miracle Network
3.Macmillan Cancer Support
4.Susan B Komen for the Cure

Both my Mother and Sister spent their last days in a Hospice facility. Watching them die was the most difficult thing to witness. But seeing how much the staff cared and nurtured them during their last hours made it a little bit easier. I will never forget those people for loving and caring for my loved ones the way they did.

I have been holding off making my next donation from our "LOVE Series" sales until the list of charities came in, and I'm glad I did because the next donation will be going to the American Hospice Foundation. I may not be able to move mountains (yet), but each penny makes a difference.

Remember to live, love, laugh, and make a difference....♥
