  Dear InfoSharers,

  At the last meeting I was asked to post  Liz Ricketts phone number.  I 
decided to repost the email I originally sent which includes contact 
information for this wonderful image and fashion consultant.  .  Here it is.

          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.

  George Ashiotis


  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
      or email at: 
      ricketts.liz@xxxxxxxxx 

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