InvitationBox.com Celebrates The 2011 Fall Season With Thanksgiving Greeting Cards

Cary, North Carolina (PRWEB) October 25, 2011

The beginning of the fall season opens the opportunity for customers to reach out to family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and clients to share their appreciation and gratitude before the holiday season begins. With the many cultures, holidays and customs celebrated during the year-end months, many customers have taken an interest in sending out a greeting card for the fall season or Thanksgiving holiday which encompasses the true meaning of the season, rather than purchasing a holiday-specific greeting card.

To support this growing increase of interest in non-holiday specific greeting cards, InvitationBox.com has introduced over fifty brand new designs to their Thanksgiving greeting card and fall greeting card collection, just in time for the beginning of the holiday season. Greeting cards feature breathtaking drawings and photographs of fall scenes featuring fall swags, fall leaves, autumn trees, fall foliage, fruitful cornucopias and covered bridges and countryside during the autumn season. The message portrayed with these greeting cards is a significant implication of thanks, well wishes, serenity and appreciation. ?Our fall greeting cards offer some of the most touching and eye-catching designs that we offer for greeting cards,? says Derek Stockman, Vice President of InvitationBox.com, ?Our most popular designs are from Birchcraft Studios which feature gate-fold designs with welcoming doors and detailed autumn scenes with fall roads and colorful trees.?

For those who wish to send a personal greeting during the fall season, InvitationBox.com also offers a unique line of Thanksgiving photo cards which are digitally printed and feature a digital photograph of the customer and/or their family members. Each fall photo card features up to two digital photographs along with a fall patterned background featuring damask designs, Thanksgiving turkeys, fall foliage, pumpkins, fall leaves or delicate vinery. ?Our fall photo greeting cards double as a greeting card and personal keepsake for the family,? says Jonathan La Nasa, President of InvitationBox.com, ?Customers can take pictures of the kids from Halloween, their trip to the pumpkin patch or a fun photograph from the summer season?. Customers can use InvitationBox.com?s photo manager tool to upload their photographs when ordering their cards to preview their designs when choosing which photo will work best with their chosen holiday card design.

Customers choosing to send a Thanksgiving greeting card or fall greeting card will receive the benefit of quick 2-3 business day turnaround times in addition to rush processing options and upgraded shipping options for last minute orders. Over forty brand new Thanksgiving greeting card designs are currently on sale and discounted so that customers can celebrate the holidays and spread Thanksgiving wishes at an affordable price.

Photo Shoot Celebrates Unique Concept of Beauty

Hollywood, California (PRWEB) December 16, 2011

International fashion photographer Ash Gupta of 838 Media Group, along with Pam Loar of LA Models, and designer Maggie Barry, pushed the boundaries of fashion in a live mega-shoot. This editorial featured 11 curvy, plus-sized models to remind everyone of a time when voluptuous was not only the norm but also considered beautiful.

This shoot, ?Th??tre de la Beaut? Classique,? evoked the grandiose style of Bertolt Brecht?s Three Penny Opera while weaving the style forms of burlesque and cabaret throughout.

Although Europe has begun embracing plus-size models as mainstream symbols of beauty, Los Angeles had not yet hosted such an involved production shoot featuring models above size 0 to 6.????

LA Models recently launched a specialized plus size division LAM2 PLUS+. To celebrate this new division, Ash Gupta conceptualized this shoot at West Hollywood?s Voyeur Nightclub which, coincidentally, stands at the same spot where Marilyn Monroe (famous for her curves) performed her first burlesque. The shoot required a crew of 40 and featured the roster of LA Models' LAM2 PLUS+ . Equipment was provided courtesy of Samy?s Camera and catering by Gate of India - Hollywood.

LA Models (http://www.lamodels.com) and 838 Media Group (http://www.838mediagroup.com) are proud to have brought this retro concept of beauty and fashion to Los Angeles.
