Dear Friends,
Recently I have had the pleasure of meeting Liz Ricketts, a young
woman who is a image/fashion consultant. She expressed to me an
interest in working with people who are vision-impaired, and I told
her I thought there was a great need for what she had to offer. As
an actor, I know how different styles of clothing have the power of
conveying character and do , in fact, make you feel and move in
different ways. I have always wished I had someone I could consult
with to help me choose clothing that not only looked well but also
suited my personality. Of course, I have friends who are willing to
shop with me, but that is not the same as working with a professional
who not only has a working knowledge of the range of fashions out
there, and knows how to match styles and color to personality and
body type, but also knows where to shop for the best deals.
I'm forwarding this announcement because I believe there are other
individuals out there who feel as I do and would want to take
advantage of Elizabeth's talents as I have. She is a fashion/image
consultant and personal shopper all rolled into one. She is honest
and caring and personable.
Please feel free to share this announcement with anyone you think
might be interested, or forward to other list-serves you may belong
to. Contact Elizabeth directly with any questions. Her email
address and phone number are given at the end of the announcement.
Thank you.

Hello!
My name is Liz Ricketts and I would greatly appreciate a moment
of your time.
I recently graduated from fashion design school in the Midwest
and have moved to NYC to start my "professional life". I have
worked in NYC and London throughout the last 5 years as a celebrity
and editorial stylist, designer, consultant and vintage dealer.
While I am still doing these jobs I would really like to explore a
new idea. My work has always focused on individual image and style
as a way of communicating one's thoughts. Unfortunately I find that
many people dress according to what they see outside themselves and
not what they think. Trends and advertisement have obliterated individuality.
Recently I was introduced to George Ashiotis and in speaking
with him and others I understood there is a need for an image
consultant for people with a vision impairment. This excites me
because it promotes the idea of style and look being a product of
personality and individual comfort level versus the fad of the month.
I would like to work with blind and low vision people as a
stylist and image consultant. It would be an amazing opportunity
for me , as well as a client, to explore what fashion could be. I
am qualified to work with both men and women in this
capacity. Here are three possible ways I can be of help:
1. Image consultation-- A preliminary meeting to discuss what
you need, and could include, hair, makeup and style assistance.
2. Organization and shopping assistance -- I can bring clothing
to your home or take you to the stores.
3. Special event planning -- I work for a company that rents
very high end clothing at affordable prices, and would love to
help you prepare for any special occasion, date, or help you
create an occasion.
My fee is 15 dollars an hour or 125 dollars a day. I realize that
things are economically tight for us all, and I can be somewhat
flexible with regard to my fee. I am not into this for the money,
but I do need to make enough to make ends meet.
The bottom line is to make you feel confident and embody whatever
vision you have for yourself. I am open to any other ways my area
of expertise may be put to use and would be happy to answer any
questions you have. This is a new adventure for me, and one I am
very passionate about.
I may be reached at:
Phone: 810-624-5351

Thank you for your time and I hope to meet you soon!
Best,
Liz Ricketts
