    Ermelinda Manos Celebrates The Release of “Lost in Las Vegas” With a Downtown Fashion Event

    Local fashion designer Ermelinda Manos celebrated the official launch of her book “Lost in Las Vegas” last night with a fashion event at The Metropolitan Gallery Art Museum in Downtown Las Vegas. Manos gave thanks and appreciation to her team, guests, and family for the endless support they have shown her throughout her life, the creation of the book, and her lifelong battle with immigration.

    “I’m so humbled by the outpouring of support for this project,” said Manos. “I couldn’t be happier with the response for this book and how hard everyone worked to make my dream come true.” With her mom and dad by her side, she teared up as she dedicated the evening and book to other young immigrants going through the same process. Francy Johnson, who played an integral role in Manos’ immigration case, traveled 20 hours from Kuwait to celebrate the evening with her.

     

    After walking through the eclectic art in the gallery and snapping photos in the photo booth, guests were treated to a fashion show with designs from Manos’ line featured in the book, modeled by TNG Models and hair and makeup by Kelly Cardenas Salon. Local personality Sancho Van Ryan emceed the event as guests sipped on cocktails from Hug L’Originale and Tequila Chamucos. DJ Douglas Gibbs provided the soundtrack to the evening.

     

    Mayor Carolyn Goodman honored Manos with an official proclamation declaring Dec. 7 as “Ermelinda Manos Day,” recognizing her contributions to the Las Vegas community through fashion and the arts.

     

    Wearing a glittering black and gold backless design of her own, Manos then personally signed copies of her book and posed for photos with guests.

    Lost in Las Vegas is available online for $39.98 at lostinlasvegasbook.com. For more information on Ermelinda Manos and her designs go to ermelindamanos.com.

    The Best Las Vegas Deals

    We’ve all been guilty of letting ourselves consider vacation as a “reward” after eating healthy and working out for weeks, even months! So everyday is considered a “cheat day” right?! During our stay in Las Vegas, we were in Summerlin, North Las Vegas, Fremont and also the Red Rock! It was so nice to check out the Strip and everything else Vegas has to offer. 

    20151218_211817

    In a place like Las Vegas it’s easy for that to happen to anyone. The best way to stay healthy while on vacation in Vegas is to sign up for drop in classes and fun recreational activities. You can also hit up the hotel gym, and pool, do exercise right in the hotel room and eat healthy foods/drinks.

    Activities and Fitness options:

    -Touring the Grand Canyon and other attractions outside the strip.

    -Walking the strip can be a great way to explore along with getting in some steps for the day.

    -Swimming around the pool at the Wynn you get a pretty view while getting in a slight workout. This would be perfect to cool down from the hot weather in Las Vegas.

    Healthy Eating options:

    -If you have been eating healthy and working out for your trip to Las Vegas you can’t miss out on the great food this place has to offer. My suggestion would to be smart when ordering. Get the food you want with a smart side such as a salad or veggies.

    -The Westgate is a resort that has many healthy food options even for you Vegans out there.
