L to R: Creative Director, Smith Smith; Married to Medicine's JIl Connors, The Starlets, Roxxy
The Starlets were recently invited to perform for "Prohibition", a speakeasy themed event hosted by Jill & Dr. John Connors from Bravo TV's Married to Medicine. The Atlanta based show is currently filming, so we can't say much. But it was an incredible evening benefiting Atlanta Victims Assistance. Special thanks to the uber fabulous Joyce of Lashes & MustAshes, Dr. John & Jill Conners, and the cast of Married to Medicine! Be sure to catch Season 3 on Bravo airing soon! And be sure to LIKE or SHARE on Facebook or Twitter. Doctor's orders! :)

While it was a cold night, the white vintage Bentley in which the Connors arrived was very hot. We love a good speakeasy themed event - and for this event, guests had to secure a password in advance for entry. Inside, guests enjoyed high-end cigars provided by Lashes & MustAshes, and played blackjack, roulette, and craps, while enjoying live sultry jazz era music. And I spent the night drooling over these fantastic head pieces made by Joyce's mom of Lashes & MustAshes. Oh - to get my hands on one...

About Atlanta Victim Assistance Inc:
While it was a sexy night, my favorite part of the evening was having the opportunity to hear women from Atlanta Victim Assistance share their stories. In 2005, Atlanta Victim Assistance, Inc. emerged as an independent organization, operating as a 501(C)3 non-profit, advocating for the fundamental rights of victims and witnesses of crime. Since then, AVA has partnered with the Atlanta Police Department to expand its reach and provide more hands-on services, such as crisis intervention at the scene of the crime, support groups for survivors and victims of homicide and domestic violence, education on the criminal justice process, and response to a 24-hour help line.
AVA advocates work directly in the police zones, responding to calls, assessing victims’ needs, and providing pre-case intervention and follow-up. Placing advocates in the zones also facilitates our community outreach efforts, which include providing awareness and education programs to neighborhood associations, schools, and in the immigrant population. A highly qualified, full time and volunteer staff serves the vital needs of both victims and witnesses of crime. AVA advocates specialize in these areas of crime: homicide, child abuse, domestic violence, identity theft and bank fraud, and general (i.e., armed robberies, sexual assaults and terrorist threats).
As the need for victim assistance grows, AVA continues to evolve to keep pace with the rising tide of violence. Their innovative and comprehensive approach ensures the needs of victims and witnesses of crime are served, and that victims and their families can resume their lives.
