BRIEF ALERT! Best Of Intima Magazine
This week’s Intimate Discovery: Intimate Soirée for Specialty Stores Nominated for BOI AWARDS
It was a perfect summer evening on 
Sunday, July 31 in New York City. Nothing is as congenial as the good will that permeated the atmosphere at the 230 5th Avenue Penthouse Lounge where The Best of Intima Magazine hosted its 2011 THE BEST OF INTIMA AWARDS, the most prestigious gathering of lingerie boutiques across North America. Easy conversation, excellent food, an open bar and dancing defined the party. The guests represented shops that had been singled out by a jury of Intimate Apparel brands for their unique contribution to the entrepreneurial spirit of this business. Nominated for their expertise in a host of categories, all of these dedicated stores were worthy of a prize, but there can only be one winner.

Hi Ellen,
What a memorable night indeed! Every single one of the nominated boutiques stands out for their professionalism and hard work. It was the first time Conturelle was on the jury panel and we were honored to participate! Thanks for the post!

Ellen,
It was a fantastic evening. We were honored to be nominated.
Also, it was great meeting you in person. My husband said your seminar was very informative. He has a number of ideas that we are going to implement.
Keep up the good work.
