I am excited to announce that Angelic Dreamz and Jamie-Show will be a very special part of Golden Gate Glamour!
Once again in partnership with Angelic Dreamz, we bring you our second Sandra Stillwell Presents Jamie-Show centerpiece. Created exclusively for Golden Gate Glamour, this ultra limited beauty is inspired by a 1950 Balenciaga couture design. She will be presented at Friday night's dinner, graciously hosted by Angelic Dreamz/Jamie-Show in honor of my 10th Anniversary Celebration!
I was privileged to meet the mega talented Jamie-Show team at IDEX this past February, and was immediately impressed by their warmth and enthusiasm. Angelic Dreamz has long been a special supporter and valued member of the doll community. It was my pleasure to collaborate with these two outstanding companies and I thank them for their generous support.
Just to update you all, Golden Gate Glamour is nearly sold out. So if you are on the fence about joining us for an unforgettable weekend, email me ASAP!
The hotel room block is extremely limited so I have been monitoring our numbers according to your input on the nights you plan to register at the hotel. June is a busy month in San Francisco. I can increase my room block now but may not be able to at a later date. It is extremely important that you touch base to let me know the nights you will be staying. It also helps to know if you will be sharing a room.
We have exciting tours planned for Thursday and Sunday you will not want to miss. Our tours are dependent on meeting a minimum number of attendees so it is important I know if you plan to participate. Details on these are forthcoming.
Please feel free to email me with any questions. dls6643@aol.com
Hope to see you in San Francisco!
Golden Gate Glamour!

Our souvenir will be a fabulous fashion gift set designed to fit your favorite 16" fashion doll. Inspired by Balenciaga's designs, the collection was created especially for this exciting event. Centerpiece dolls modeling stunning haute couture fashions will be showcased at each meal function. I believe you'll be as blown away as I am by the beauty of this collection! I can't wait to share it with everyone!
The registration fee will also include a desert reception and 3 meals, including a gala Saturday night banquet. We will also have illustrious guest speakers, interesting displays, table gifts, raffles, swap tables, and more surprises!

Hotel:
Our convention hotel is the lovely Embassy SFO Airport/South San Francisco, located only 10 miles from downtown San Francisco! Each room is a spacious 2 room suite complete with refrigerator and microwave...perfect for room sales or socializing with dolly friends!
We will have a special code to make reservations in our group block, which will be forthcoming soon. Please do not contact the hotel or make reservations online until this is announced.
Our special group room rate is $119 plus tax. Our group will receive complimentary hotel parking.
The hotel offers complimentary WiFi and computers in their business office, and in room Internet access at a discounted rate.
The Embassy Suites offers a complimentary shuttle to shopping and eateries within a 3mile radius (based on availability), and an airport shuttle which runs every 35 minutes. BART conveniently travels directly from the airport to San Francisco and other suburbs.
The group rate is available from Monday, May 30, through Wednesday, June 8th (based on availability) for those who would like to come early or stay over to take advantage of the many fun sightseeing opportunities in the area. If you need rooms on other dates, please contact me directly.
I strongly encourage all attendees to stay at the Convention hotel for a complete "convention experience"! Besides all the fun and camaraderie those who don't stay at the hotel will miss out on, our room and food rates are based on our meeting a guaranteed minimum, and it is crucial I have your cooperation to meet that guarantee.
There are other great reasons to stay at the convention hotel....with our many planned activities, you'll find being onsite much more convenient, plus the Embassy Suites includes a fabulous cooked to order complimentary breakfast and manager's cocktail reception daily in their beautiful atrium.
Our room block is extremely limited. Though we are not yet ready for hotel reservations, it would help me greatly to know as soon as possible how many nights and what dates you are planning to stay, so I can increase the block if necessary. June is a busy time for the hotel and I may not have the opportunity to do so at a later date. Once the room block is sold out, reservations will only be taken on availability.
Airport and Flights:
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is serviced by all major airlines.
Oakland International Airport is also very convenient to the hotel. Both are directly connected to BART and Caltrain for travel to San Francisco or neighboring areas for sightseeing on your own.
When booking your flight, don't forget to allow a few extra days, if possible, to enjoy the multitude of tourist attractions and unique activities that San Francisco has to offer!
Tours:
I'm excited to say that Casey LaLonde, Joan Crawford's grandson, will again be joining us for convention this year... and, if all goes as hoped, we are planning a surprise "wrap party" on Sunday night to celebrate Sandra Stillwell Presents 10th Anniversary! An optional event, this exciting evening will follow a day of sightseeing in San Francisco. For a taste of San Francisco elegance, I am proposing that we begin the day with a delicious breakfast buffet in the glistening Garden Court at the opulent Palace Hotel.
Details are not available yet, but I am also planning a very interesting excursion on Thursday that all doll lovers, vintage fashionistas, and sewing enthusiasts will be sure to love!
If there is anything in particular you would like to see or do, now is the time to let me know!
Raffle Donations:
We will be having a raffle to help offset convention expenses. Donations of all sizes are greatly appreciated. If you would like to contribute to the raffle, please email me at dls6643@aol.com.
Please remember that this special event is extremely limited, so do not hesitate to register. If you plan to attend, please RSVP as soon as possible so I'll have an idea of how many to count on.
I hope you'll join me in San Francisco this June for an event to remember!
