Stephen King

I had always seen Stephen King on TV at baseball games, where the camera would span to him in the crowd, normally with a book in hand, and the announcer would make some casual comment about the notorious author. To be honest, he always gave me the creeps. I had never read any of his books, but had encountered scenes from "The Shining" and "Carrie" when I was younger, and his physical appearance was exactly what I thought the author of such stories should look like - slightly haunting with pale skin and dark hair, and small beady eyes peering through his glasses. "On Writing" is the first book I've read by King, and I cannot seem to match his physical appearance to his 'voice' in the book. He seems so laid back and relaxed, as if the words just slipped out of his head and glided on to the paper. When reading "On Writing," I picture a guy you'd sit down and joke around with over a cup of coffee; not someone who writes about killer clowns. I am intrigued now to read one of his books and see how his 'voice' translates into his fictional stories.

Pretty. Eventful. to launch their first event at Mantra on Thursday, November 11th

We all work, so why not be fashionable while doing so? Women and men alike are invited to join Pretty. Eventful. in the launch of their first event, Women can be fashionable at Work, a fashion show located downstairs at Mantra on Thursday, November 11^th from 6-9 p.m. with 100% of the proceeds benefitting Dress For Success Boston. For more information please visit http://www.prettyeventful.com.

As an avid fashion blogger, Stephanie Cofrin knew that she wanted to pursue a career that incorporated the fashion aspects of styling and merchandising with a fun, social environment. After stumbling upon the photos from a fashion show held for a non-profit organization, Cofrin was instantly inspired by the idea of using fashion as a tool to help spread the message for different charities.

Rather than joining a non-profit organization, Cofrin decided to create her own event planning company to reach out to as many organizations as possible. “There are so many great organizations out there that people just haven’t heard of yet. I’m essentially the person in the middle bringing the two together.” Although Pretty. Eventful. was started with an influence from fashion shows, Cofrin plans on expanding her fundraisers to incorporate different kinds of events in the near future.

The launch of Pretty. Eventful. will be held downstairs at Mantra, with a cocktail hour and complimentary appetizers starting at 6 p.m., followed by the fashion show at 7 p.m. To stay connected with Pretty. Eventful., join us on Facebook, follow us on Twiiter @prettyeventful, or log on to http://www.prettyeventful.com.
