When it comes to helping women in need, Boone county resident Cindy Crowe-Layne says she just wants to make a difference in her community.
In October, Crowe-Layne organized a fashion show, called “Uncage You Beauty,” an initiative to help former Boone County Jail female inmates with rocky pasts. Now she’s continuing to pay it forward with her next event coming later this month.
Crowe-Layne, owner of beauty salon As the Crow Flies in Zionsville, provided several of these former inmates with free beauty makeovers and attire and presented their stories to the public at the “Uncage Your Beauty” event. Her goal is to help these individuals get a fresh start on life despite their rough pasts.
This event will mark Crowe-Layne’s third “Uncage Your Beauty” event with several new individuals including, for the first time, a gentelman.
“We’re going to basically have the same makeovers, but the format of the show is not necessarily a fashion show,” said event content coordinator Daniel Sung. “Cindy is going to come out and do an introductory speech and will reveal five makeover stories. The makeover stories are shown on screen and as soon as one makeover story happens, that person will come out and be revealed. When that’s over with they’ll all walk out and Cindy will update everybody on some of the past makeover stories and what the Birds Be Free/Uncage Your Beauty program is doing with the past makeovers as far as provding them with things to help improve their quality of life.”
Food will be provided and there will be live entertainment presnted by one of the featured individuals who happens to be a singer. A band be performing three songs about recovery and helping people in recovery.
The event is from 6 to 8 p.m. Jan. 28 at River of Life Church in Lebanon. Tickets are $10 and everyone participating will receive a $25 gift certificate for Birds Be Free products.
