Gigi Belmonico: Image Consultant, Glamour Girl, and Bombshell Coach! Many entrepreneurial women lose their femininity and friendships as they build amazing businesses and Gigi shows them how to turn up "The Bombshell Factor™"! An Image Consultant for over 25 years, she's shown thousands of women how to feel powerful in their femininity through tools such as body typing, makeup and fashion personality, core wardrobing, and much much more so that EVERYday is Bombshell day!! Many women have qualities that make them "look" beautiful, but Gigi takes it even further and teaches women how to develop the more esoteric qualities that truly connect women with each other without the typical drama, trauma, and jealousy so prevalent today.

She was featured in "Mom Spa:75 Relaxing Ways to Pamper a Mother's Mind, Body, and Soul," by Gin Sander, and was a contributing author in Gin's book "Raging Gracefully:Smart Women on Life, Love, And Coming into Your Own". Gigi is also our very own Kansas City Style Examiner!

If you think you know what a Bombshell is, perhaps you do...but maybe you don't. Join us on December 9th as Gigi explores what it means to be a REAL Bombshell and how being one just might be YOUR missing link!

In addition to great open networking and inspiration, we're supporting a wonderful cause. Your registration for the event is a charitable contribution to SAFEHOME, offering support to survivors of domestic violence. Enjoy a wonderful sit down lunch provided by Bonefish Grill of Leawood while networking in the company of savvy Kansas City area business women. We will be joined by representatives of Safehome to learn how we can use our resources to immediately help women within our direct community struggling to change their lives for the better.

About SAFEHOME

It all began 30 years ago with a knock on a door and a compassionate woman who saw a need in her community. In 1980, founder Martha Hunt began a grassroots effort for a shelter in Johnson County. Meeting every Thursday night, this group of concerned citizens found that there was an unmet need, and it was great. As a result of these efforts, the Johnson County Association of Battered Persons was incorporated. Initially, the organization established a network of "safe homes" in private residents’ homes to provide safety and shelter to women and children fleeing domestic violence. Volunteers also took turns answering the crisis hotline when it was forwarded to their home phones.

In 1982, Martha and her small committee applied for and received a government grant, and used the funds for a down payment on a 118-year old house to be used as a shelter. In August of 1984, SAFEHOME shelter opened and was completely full the first night.

What is "Linking Women"?

Linking Women is a networking and professional support group for women in business. There's no registration, commitment or fee to be a part of this circle of strong, driven women. If you're here, you're part of the group! We plan to add additional venues very soon. Currently Linking Women will host this benefit luncheon each month; offering a variety of motivational and inspiring speakers. Your $20 admission is a donation to the work of Safehome. Want to sponsor an event? Contact Laura Wynn using the contact info in the left margin! It's tax deductable, too!
