Galway's got glamour

ON THESE dark winter days, an injection of glamour is just what the fashion doctor ordered. Never mind the biting winds that try to blow your hair into a fuzz ball, or the rain that conspires to reduce even the best made-up face to a pasty wreck. For those of us feeling the winter blues, model agent and all-round glamour puss Mandy Maher has just the ticket with the first all-day beauty, fashion, pampering and styling event to hit the west. Glamour in Galway, taking place on Sunday, November 14, at the Radisson blue Hotel in Galway, will be hosted by uber-stylist and presenter of RTE's Off the Rails Brendan Courtney. Brendan, our very own fashion angel and an all-round nice guy, will hold styling master classes and transform some lucky ladies with makeovers throughout the event, which runs from 11 am to 7 pm. Mandy Maher from Catwalk Modelling Agency said she'd being toying with the idea of a glamour day for a number of years, and decided the time was right to give Galway Fashionistas a day out on their own doorsteps. Tickets are priced at €15, and can be bought online at  www.glamouringalway.com, or at the door on the day of the event. For those interested, there are limited exhibition stands remaining.
