The San Juan Sensation Junior Dance Team tapped into Sundays fashion show.
Sunday’s triple-digit heat provided a sizzling backdrop for Syd Boutique’s cool clothing at its first fashion show. Staged on the lawn in front of the store at Rancho Shopping Center in Los Altos, the show served as fundraiser for the American Cancer Society and showcased Syd’s women’s wear. The models, from teens to women in their 60s of all sizes and shapes, were Syd customers, said manager Durana Temor.“These were real women in real clothes,” she said.
Models sported outfits, shoes and accessories from Syd’s spring and summer collections, including sports, golf and resort wear as well as clothing for travel or special occasions.
Owner Irene Miszler, who also owns Bliss Beauty Center at Rancho, said her boutique carries sophisticated and chic fashions that don’t break the bank. “Our selections are made for the Los Altos lifestyle,” she said. “We are all about practical, easy and everyday fashion.”Miszler said a number of her customers are cancer survivors who come to Bliss or Syd for post-chemo makeovers. “It’s an emotionally taxing time for them,” she said, “and we can help them look their best.”
The fashion show featured a raffle, goodie bags, two performances from the San Juan Sensations Junior Dance Team of Los Altos, music from DJ Chris Webb and food and drinks. Customers received a 10 percent discount on clothing purchases for the rest of the day, and the store donated 10 percent of all sales to the American Cancer Society. “I hope it becomes an annual event,” Miszler said. Syd Boutique is located at 632 Rancho Shopping Center. For more information, call 650 947-3447. |

Judging Saturdays auditions were, from left, Abby Althoff, director of Los Altos Live!, Linda Thompson, president of Peninsula Youth Theatre, and local arts supporter Nancy Glaze.
A colorful cross section of local performers turned out Saturday to audition for the first Los Altos Live! talent show, scheduled next month. Three judges watched 32 performances from which they chose 22 to appear at the talent show. The event is scheduled 7:30 p.m. March 7 at the 370-seat Los Altos High School Eagle Theater, 201 Almond Ave.
“We were amazed at the variety of talent that showed up,” said Abby Althoff, director of the show. “The public is in for a real treat when the performance is staged.”
Althoff has produced and directed more than 100 shows in the Los Altos area in the past 15 years.
In addition to Althoff, the judging team included Nancy Glaze, longtime community leader with such groups as Los Altos High School’s Broken Box Theatre Company, and Linda Thompson, president of Peninsula Youth Theatre.
Christy Dawson, assistant principal of Los Altos High, will serve as master of ceremonies. Among the featured performers for the evening is Stephen Waarts, a 12-year-old violin virtuoso who performed recently at Carnegie Hall.
According to Mike Abrams, chairman of the event, “The participants, who range in age from 6 to 81, seem extremely enthusiastic about the opportunity to be on stage in their hometown.”
The program, co-sponsored by the Los Altos Cultural Association and the Los Altos Town Crier, is not intended to be competitive “but to showcase the variety of talent we have in our community,” Abrams said.
Proceeds from the show will benefit high school student programs.
Tickets, $10 for students and $20 for adults, are available in downtown Los Altos at Main Street Cafe & Books, Campi Properties, Borel Private Bank, Vino 100, Maltby’s Restaurant and Tavern; Linden Tree Children’s Recordings & Books, Full Thread Ahead and Adventure Toys and Teachers’ Supplies; at Bliss Beauty Center and Brian’s Restaurant at Rancho Shopping Center; at Tom’s Depot at Loyola Corners; at Foothill Produce at Foothill Crossings in south Los Altos; and at Chef Chu’s at San Antonio Road and El Camino Real.
