Robert Andrew in the Community: A Day in Lingerie

When you think Robert Andrew … think beautiful women. Earlier this year, Robert Andrew President Melissa Eppinger saw an incredible partnering opportunity with the Lingerie Football League when they announced their newest league edition in Baltimore, aptly named the B…altimore Charm. The venture was natural, seeing as how Robert Andrew is the official salon and spa for both the Washington Redskins cheerleaders and the Baltimore Ravens cheerleaders. Melissa made this partnership a reality.

Robert Andrew is proud to announce that we are the official beauty partner for the Lingerie Football League’s Baltimore Charm. You can count on Robert Andrew to be wherever the “charming” ladies are, including a future calendar shoot and pre-opening spa event for the girls at the salon.

We were exposed to some of the pre-season magic at try-outs on May 2 at the 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore, MD. The drills were grueling, and Melissa Eppinger and RA make-up artist Jami Funk were on-site to watch the action. Jami Funk also did make-up and spray tanning for last year’s Baltimore Raven’s calendar shoot. Competition was tough as girls lined up on the field for both defensive and offensive drills.

“This is not a cheerleading camp,” founder of the lingerie league Mitchell S. Mortaza said, according to the Baltimore Sun.

Emotions were high, but thankfully Robert Andrew was on hand to calm the nervous ladies, offering discounted spa service coupons and live complimentary touch-up make-up sessions. Hopeful Baltimore Charm candidate Samantha Allen was treated to a post-work out make-up session to calm her jitters, and to keep her feeling confident and looking beautiful throughout the day.

Make sure to keep updated about our involvement in the community via the Robert Andrew Twitter and Facebook page.

Redskins and Ravens Cheerleaders Help Us Kickoff the Men’s Zone

This Saturday at Robert Andrew, we celebrated the Men’s Zone–a private, men-only spa area. At our Open House, we welcomed men to our Gambrills location, and treated them to free massages, paraffin hand waxes, facials and facial hair trims. Our guests were “cheerfully” greeted by the Redskins and Ravens cheerleaders, who talked with guests, signed autographs and performed outside of Robert Andrew.

Despite the very hot temperatures, the two teams’ cheerleaders danced and cheered. They put on a great performance and attracted quite an audience.

The Men’s Zone remained packed throughout the day. In addition to the free spa services, the men also received beer, free skincare treatment packages and a cigar from our neighbors at Titan Cigar. In between hot shaves, Robert Andrew’s celebrity stylist, Derek, was able to meet and greet some of the men who visited the Men’s Zone. To view all the photos from the Men’s Zone Open House, click here.

Thanks to everyone who helped us break in the Men’s Zone, we had such a great time. To schedule an appointment with Derek in the Men’s Zone, call us.

Redskins Cheerleaders Photo Shoot Wrap Up

That’s a Wrap!

The 2009-2010 Redskin’s Cheerleaders Calendar Shoot finished up this past week with some amazing shots that are sure to make this year’s calendar the best yet!

Thursday we started at 4am with hair and make-up.  The girls getting body paint had to be up at 3:30am!  Shots were taken of Leeann (below), Jessica, Brittni and Melani at the beach and pool.  You won’t want to miss Jessica’s pictures, as she was painted as a sexy snake!  The shots came out so good we cancelled the trip to shoot in the Everglades.  That afternoon we shot Michelle, Toccara, Megs, Tequia and Sabrina in a mixture of locations including the beach and the spa.

Our last day of shooting began at 4am with hair and make-up for Kristin, Michelle, Amanda, Khlover, Noriko and Abby.  After a short nap we were back to work at 2:30pm for hair and make-up with Chastity, Barbra, Stephanie, Melynda and Abby.  Chastity and Melynda were shot off site at Stan’s Restaurant while the other girls were shot at the Yacht Club.

We finished off the week with a VIP reception and dinner.  I can’t wait to see the finished calendar!

Redskins Cheerleaders Photo Shoot in Florida

Hi everyone from sunny Florida!  Our team arrived this past Tuesday for the 2009-2010 Redskins Cheerleaders Calendar shoot!  After arriving in the afternoon the hair and make up team met to discuss each girl’s look and get all of our equipment set for the next day.

Make sure to check our Flickr photostream every day for more pictures!

Then it was up at 4am to begin hair and make up for team captains Abby, Heather, Kelly and Jamilla.  Abby and Heather did their shoots by the fountain while Kelly and Jamilla were on the beach.  Jamilla had an amazing shoot done in bodypaint that took 3 hours to apply!  Then we did a group captain shot and wrapped up at 9am.

We were back in action at 4pm to get Jaqui, Sarita, Dawn and Melanie J. ready for their shoots.  Jaqui and Dawn shot on the beach, Melanie in the water and Sarita was shot in a jersey created with bodypaint.  The second shoot wrapped at 8pm, then dinner and a team meeting at 10pm.  What a long but incredible day!

Tomorrow we are off to the everglades!
