Leather & Laces introduces the “Vampires & Vixens Ball”, a one-night-only special event held in Houston on Saturday, October 28. Hosted by actress and model, Charlotte McKinney, known for her roles on “Dancing with the Stars”, “Baywatch” and the upcoming “Flatliners”, the party will feature an award-winning haunted house, live performers and creepy clowns, with a celebrity DJ on site to keep the LED dancefloor pumping.

The event will be held from 9:00 p.m. – 2:00 a.m. at industrial-chic Silver Street Studios located just seven minutes from the heart of downtown Houston. Guests can channel their devilish side in the 20,000 square-foot space which will be fully decked out with scary decor. All-inclusive tickets start at $135 and a costume contest will be judged by local media personalities who will award various prizes for the best costumes in the house.

Since its inception in Houston in 2004, Leather & Laces has become known for throwing the chicest Super Bowl parties. Past hosts include Adriana Lima, Jeremy Piven, Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski, Bar Refaeli and many others.

Easter Seals Greater Houston is a non-profit provider of services for individuals with autism, developmental disabilities, physical disabilities and other special needs and their families, as well as veterans. The funds raised for the local charity are now more important than ever in the wake of Hurricane Harvey as Easter Seals clients begin to rebuild and recover.

Leadership in Action: John Kuykendall Traded Newcaster Dream for Success in Luxury Retail

Leadership in Action: John Kuykendall Traded Newcaster Dream for Success in Luxury Retail

John Kuykendall, Showroom Manager, Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove

How did you get to where you are today? Growing up I had envisioned myself as a news anchor, living in NY and enthusiastically saying into the camera “Good Morning America!”. To this day, I am still a news/political junkie. My mother owned fur salons so specialty retail, luxury retail was in my blood through the family business. Eventually, mom shuttered the stores and I was recruited to a large specialty retailer. Over the next 30 years, I was in commissioned sales on the sales floor, became a department manager, worked my way up to buyer and store manager. Although I never became a newscaster, I did live in NYC for a few years. But Texas is home and with aging grandparents, I felt the pull to come back to my roots. A headhunter approached me. I never envisioned myself in the high-end appliance market, but there are so many similarities. Clients want a memorable experience; whether shopping for diamonds and fur or remodeling their kitchen.
