Nabe blogger Melissa Lopata, known in the world of Twitter as @HipSlopeMama, has co-founded a new business with Ellen Bari called Momasphere. Momasphere is an organization that is focused on empowering moms and celebrating individuality. Their unique events will change the way we think of social networking for moms, they are not "child-centric" and hope to "reawaken & celebrate" the multiple aspects of womanhood, not "just" being a "mom." On top of having time away from family to replenish oneself, network, and make new friends, moms can revel in that proceeds of the events go to Madre, an international women's organization that uses human rights to advance social justice for women. Pretty cool stuff.
The first Momasphere event (which will soon be bi-monthly), "Mommy Needs a Cocktail," will be held this coming Sunday, September 13th at Melt Restaurant in Park Slope. The event is co-sponsored by everyone's favorite sex shop, Babeland and will be moderated by Carolyn Castiglia, a mom comedian who has been seen and heard nationally on VH1, MTV2, NBC's Last Comic Standing, Nick-at-Nite's Funniest Mom in America 3, The Maury Show, ABC World News with Charles Gibson and Sirius/XM Radio. Babeland will also lead a fun and informative mini-workshop ~Sex Toys 101 for Moms~ and they'll give away free gifts! All that plus a free cocktail (or mocktail), hors d'oeuvres, raffle prizes, professional portraits, free massages and more! For more information on the evnt and to buy tickets, click HERE.
