PARTY: Surprise Party for Mary Kostic’s Faces of Beauty Campaign
VENUE: Mariposa, Neiman Marcus Michigan Avenue
DATE: Tuesday, February 10th
THE LURE: Six women across the country were chosen by retail powerhouse Neiman Marcus to appear in their Faces of Beauty spring campaign. The result? A dynamic group of gorgeous individuals who are celebrated for their beauty inside and out. And one of the lucky chosen ones is G&F creative director’s mother Mary Kostic. While we try to be journalistically unbiased at GlossedandFound.com, we couldn’t help but fête this 63-year-old bombshell. Teaming up with Neiman Marcus Michigan Avenue, we invited Mary’s closest family and friends to toast the cover girl. Hiding with champagne in hand, fifty fans shocked Mary with their attendance. Once inside, guests were treated to beauty touch-ups, light bites and even a few dance moves compliments of Mary’s grandchildren. Michael Larys, beauty department manager of Neiman Marcus Northbrook and who accompanied Mary to Dallas for the Faces of Beauty shoot, was also in attendance and gleaming proudly. “It just feels so real now,” Mary said reflecting on the surprise, “It’s one thing to see your photograph in Neiman Marcus and then to feel all the love and support in person? I’m speechless.” Lucky for Mary, we aren’t. >>
