I am a hair stylist/owner of the first African American Luxury Spa in Dallas called Unique French Touch. I have four lovely daughters ranging from the ages of 4 to 10 years of age. My salon that I worked so hard to build was recently raided by Federal Agents and local police officers. My children and I were held at gun point while my items in the shop was confiscated by agents. My patrons in the shop had their identification taken and their cell phones confiscated. All my personal belongings such as ID, bank receipts, cell phone, computers, bank cards, credit cards, and check books confiscated. I have requested the reason for such harassment with no answer. I want to get representation but to find out my bank accounts have been frozen even the children’s personal savings account for their college. Therefore, I do not have any way to gain representation or feed my children with no access to my accounts. I have spoken to the local NAACP and Urban League to no avail. The investigator has threaten to take all my babies and place them into Foster Care and I cannot have that happen due to I have friends who are Social Workers and I hear the horrific stories from them. If you have any direction at all please contact me via phone: (469) 583-8224. This email was sent out via library computer if you are wondering. For your review my personal background Devoted Christian who holds a Bachelors in Accounting and have done accounting for 8 years and hair on my off hours. I decided recently to open up my own Luxury Salon for the classy African Americans, but I think someone did not like that. Also a mother and father (father does not want to take part of his children’s life) of 4 wonderful little girls who I cannot allow to be another statistic in this judicial system. I have never been in trouble with the law so this is absurd to me. Please assist in any way that you can. Your loving single mother, sister, friend, Martina Auguste July 30, 2008 (469) 583-8224 To Whom It May Concern:

Prom is like a passage from high school into the real world. It is from the fish bowl to the pond. Females are so burdened to "look their best", and this outfit helps on the most visual and subliminal levels. That is true ingenuity. That is true understanding. Good for you! I truly applaud your efforts.

I don't blame the boys for not understanding, prom is a girl thing. I like what Fairy Dust is doing and commend their efforts!

The idea to create this foundation is amazing. It is every girls dream to go to prom and have a new dress, get your makeup done, hair and nails done. But in all reality a lot of girls in the country arent able to do this because their family isnt in the financial position to spend money on something that isnt a necessity. Thinking back to 2002 when it was my prom the tickets were $100. Then you have to pay for all the other stuff as well. A girl can easily spend $500 in preparing for prom. http://hateitorloveit.typepad.com/hate_it_or_love_it I love it! The idea to create this foundation is amazing.
