Since our 3 month mark is fast approaching I thought I would call and confirm that with DTD. When I called today the girl told me that they are already taking appointments for March 07, she said "Basically as soon as you know you are coming call and make an appointment." Now I had no problem getting an appointment on the day I wanted, but I'm going off season, so for those going in the busier months it would probably be more important to call early.

That's how much they charged me for a party of 2 girls.

Originally Posted By stagemomx3 The store sells lots of girlie stuff, including make your perfume, lip gloss, and lotions. The makeovers let the girls pick from 5 hair dos and include makeup, very light and tasteful, nail polish, and lots and lots of glitter. Ashley Tisdale(Sharpay in High School Musical) has a new line of products there called "Pink Twinkle" that my 10.5 year old just had to have some of! <a href="http://www.clublibbylu.com/home.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.clublibbylu.com/hom e.aspx</a>

Originally Posted By MomofPrincess I don't think it's a new thing; I'm thinking maybe you talked to someone who didn't know better! I called in MARCH and got an appointment for end of August! She told me it was a good thing I'd called when I did, because at that point, most weekends between March and August were already all filled up.

They did say that, if we cancel or something, we get a $24 store credit to be used at any time. So it's not like you lose that money if, for some reason, you can't make it. They also have darling gift cards available that come in pink compact cases! I am ordering one now for my daughter's birthday.

Originally Posted By stagemomx3 The pooch package is where they get to pick out a small stuffed dog, dress it in a t-shirt and collar and get a carrying bag for it, plus their makeover.

Originally Posted By MomofPrincess >>>It's probably just me, but I have a tough time with the word "makeover" in relation to little girls.<<< I understand, and hadn't considered what kind of negative connotation that's sending to little girls. Hmmm... In general, the whole Libby Lu experience is pretty much just little girls playing dress-up, the way we did as kids.

I declined but secretly wanted some!
Originally Posted By drawbridge In our experience they do take ressies for any day but they dont "fully book" they leave approx 1/2 their schedule open for same day appointments. The catch is you must then do it in person, they wont take same day appts over the phone. You then pre-pay when you get your time. Busy days there are lines at opening to get these appts. Its a very popular place. I consider myself conservative but yet I see nothing wrong with the little girls being in there. You dont have to 'send them a message' about wanting to look pretty - they already want too! The girls go here and the boys go to ESPN. Its just hair-dos and lip gloss for heavens sake.
Originally Posted By MomofPrincess That's how I feel too, drawbridge. It would've been a dream come true for me as a child! I know a lot of people have a hard time with the whole concept, though. LOL, Mickeymouseclub! I would've also delined - but secretly wanted - the pixie dust!
