Second to the last post of the year!!! LOL!

The Curves ended their busiest week ever, in true Curvy style. We are a blessed trio of chicks and we try our best to give back to this community we love so much. Our final Christmas performance was at the fabulous Studio 8 Ten. Studio 8 Ten is a non-profit arts and crafts studio providing paid training and employment for adults with disabilities in Las Vegas' Transition Services supported employment programs. Resident artists train in the design, production, and sales of over 50 different handmade products, all unique to our company, and learn the specifics of running their own business. Studio 8 Ten fosters pride, self-sufficiency, and self-esteem by providing positive interaction with the community and opportunities to show off their personal talents. All proceeds from sales in the gift shop go directly back into the program to purchase supplies, upkeep facilities, and pay the individuals for their efforts.

It was our pleasure and privilege to support our great friend Angela Esler-Whelan, who runs the studio and who also happens to be VERY pregnant and on bed rest, but got permission to come out to the open house! It was a great success and a fabulous way to end the Curves 2009 Christmas season!

We hope you are enjoying the Holidays, whichever way you celebrate them! And, look to the 2010 Holiday CD from Dangerous Curves! We wish YOU the curviest season ever!

What a week the Curves had here in fabulous Las Vegas! On Wednesday, we had the absolute honor of performing at Nellis Airforce Base for the Officer's Spouses Club. What a delightful group they were and very receptive. We are so grateful for our military and how they keep our great country safe!

Thursday, we were invited to sing at the Suncoast for Hit Parade at their lovely theatre. The hosts for the week were the fabulous Mark Giovi and the gorgeous Robin Berry! Both of these local entertainers are enormously talented and so welcoming. We did our new big band "Jingle Bells" and an a cappella number, "Star of Wonder". As always, the Suncoast audience is wonderful and loving and we love singing for them!

What a weekend!

This was quite a Sunday for the Curves! First of all, up at the crack of dawn to sing not one, not two, but 3 services for New Song church. It was our first performance of "Star of Wonder" and really what better place to debut such a song but church! And, not just any church, but one that has supported our endeavors totally! And, it went really well. I mean seriously, singing at 8am? Yikes!!! Now, I said this was quite a Sunday and it was.....between services, we rehearsed our second-half-of-the day gig with Dennis and our other debuts of the season, which was the Bing Crosby/Andrews Sisters "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" and a big band arrangement of "Jingle Bells".

After the 3rd service, we packed it up and headed down to Flamingo Library Theatre for sound check and the annual Christmas show. This show is really fun, because its a conglomeration of many the performers from the past year. And, we all get to see each other and hear each other perform! A fab time was had by all, especially the audience. And, the big 16 page Jingle Bells we've been working on for a month? Well, it went smashingly! Three more Christmas shows to go! Wheeeeeee! Hope you are enjoying the holidays as much as we are! Be sure to check us out at dangerouscurveslasvegas.com or Facebook and follow us on Twitter.

Christmas, Projects and Charity Work

The Curves are rehearsing some gorgeous Christmas music for all our upcoming appearances! We are thrilled to be performing at our favorite Flamingo Library Theatre for their annual Christmas show, which features the performers who have performed this past year. We are thrilled to see who we'll be singing with! We are doing a fabulous arrangement originally done by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters that our own Lisa is working out for us. My fabulous husband will be singing the Bing part! It's gonna be so much fun! In addition, we are singing a big band arrangement of Jingle Bells that is not only musically challenging, but a truly exciting piece to sing!

We'll also be performing at Nellis Airforce Base, a special guest appearance at the Sun Coast Casino and downtown Las Vegas for a fantastic charity that supports the less fortunate, Studio 8 Ten!

In addition, we sang the National Anthem and did the 5K (yes, acutally did it!) for the Alliance for Lupus Research, our current charity. We raised over $300! If you would like to donate, please follow the link above.

Don't forget you can follow us on twitter! You can also follow each curve-Lisa, Gret and Karen. Our fabulous CD is available at itunes! What a perfect gift for the holidays! Curvy blessings to all!

Gosh, it has been a while since I have written. Forgive me Curvy darlings and I promise to make it a fall filled with lots of exciting news! It was a long hot summer of rehearsals and shows and lots of work on our EPK and some well needed personal time!

First of all, we performed in the Den and Stu Show which was spectacular! Tons of great comedy and these boys do nothing but sing, sing, sing! Now, it is true that Den is my husband and Stu is our best friend, but still! There's no bias-just truth and fact abound here!!! They plan on putting the show up again so stay tuned for more info on this great show.

Much of our rehearsals were taken up with work on our EPK, i.e., Electronic Press Kit. Lisa is our resident Photoshop goddess and thank god for her, because this thing looks awesome! Gret and I would put in our opines and 2 cents and Lisa would create it! It will be up on our webpage soon so take the time to download it and look it over!

And, hey! Please don't forget to become a fan on our Facebook page, follow us on Twitter and if you wanna keep a smile on your face, download our debut CD "Girl Talk" on iTunes!

The Curves hang with some Dolls!

My cute hubby with me and Lisa. Swing City Dolls, Connie, Robin and Natalie
Two of us Curves went to check out the Swing City Dolls at the Cannery East, Las Vegas and there was nothing but cutie-pie-licious all around! These girls are adorable with their genre inspired hair and outfits and harmonies. You look at them and you think Andrews Sisters of today, you listen to them and you hear everything from Queen to KT Tunstall back to the Andrews Sisters. Very clever, very fun and we are proud to call them our friends. :-)

We are thrilled to announce the commercial release of our debut CD "Girl Talk" which will be live on iTunes USA and Canada, Amazon, Napster and Rhapsody by September 9th. Official release date TBA. Have a super curvy week, friends!

The frontline vocals from Monday night!
The Curves are enjoying a short summer break and met up with friends on Monday night to check out the local band, Santa Fe and the Fat City Horns at the Palms in The Lounge. We were absolutely captivated by this stunning show of outstanding voices, musicians and performances. These guys have the exciting sound of Tower of Power, blended with the contemporary arrangements and vocal harmonies of today. The arrangement of the Beatles song, "Come Together" was positively thrilling! We feel so energized and inspired to work on some of our newest arrangements. Thanks, guys!!! The whole evening was made even more enjoyable by sharing it with some of our nearest and dearest friends, Jen and Todd Vigiletti, producers,Stargazer Productions, out of Orange County, CA and husbands all around. By the way, we are so proud that Gret's husband, Michael, is a regular in the band! All in all, a perfect evening of stellar music and the ones we love! How could a hot summer night get any better?! Don't forget to check out our page on facebook and become a fan! We'd love to hear from you!
