To bravely go where no one has gone before
Courtney Doyle styling hair in the Main St window
I love when people are not afraid to try new things. “Because it’s never been done before” does not even faze them. Today I want to tell you about Solstice stylist Courtney Doyle. After a short time of planning, she put herself in our front window on Main St to ‘do hair’!
Yesterday, December 5th was the Main St Holiday Stroll. Stores up and down Main St were decorated for the window contest, Santa had breakfast with a bunch of kids at the BBC and carolers braved the rainy conditions to sing at every corner. The conditions were perfect for the ‘force of nature’ known as Courtney Doyle. I, myself have considered using the front window for some sort of demonstration, but after spending some time in that small space I found it to be really very hot and uncomfortable if the sun hits the glass just right. But not Miss Courtney! She recruited models, collected product, designed signage and jumped right in. Ah, youth.
I had the pleasure of taking pictures and speaking to the dozens of ‘strollers’ who stopped and gawked at our live models and action figure among our holiday display of silver trees and teal shiny christmas balls. “That’s just like a window you’d find in New York city”, said one woman whose children were making faces at the models. Sweet kids.
So in closing, our first live action window display was a great success. I hope to have many more in the future. But not if it’s too cold, or too hot, or……THANK YOU COURTNEY!!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!
