Dear Marlo,


IDK about you, but it's been a whirlwind of a fall over here at marlo. We continued the celebration of our 20th anniversary year by hosting a fundraising dinner that raised $10K for the Wonderfund, holding a celebratory bash where former and current members of our team mixed and mingled (many for the first time!), and are preparing for our last studio series event of this milestone year - how better to raise a final toast than with a champagne and cookie celebration?! Please join us!


In this penultimate marlo monthly of 2024, we share ways to create meaningful memories with those you care about most. And, I'll let you in on something I've learned over the past 20 years of building marlo marketing: the key to keeping spirits high any time of year is to make sure you save time to take care of yourself. Enter CAKE, an exclusive VIP members-only shopping community that just launched in my second hometown of NYC. Think early access to new drops from the brands you covet, personal invites to special events, and first dibs on some of the hottest luxe beauty, skincare, and jewelry lines today. Do I have your attention yet?!


CAKE membership is just $100/year, however, you can only join by being invited by a current member. So, consider this our early holiday gift to you: we've pulled a few strings to score 20 (yes, the 20 theme continues, at least for six more weeks!) exclusive invites to share with marlo monthly readers. Just click here, and get ready for a little pre-holiday cray self-care. After all, who says you can't have your CAKE and eat it, too? Certainly not any of us at marlo!

the goldie collection

While visions of sugar plums may dance in some heads come holiday season, we set our sights on more destination-based delights as a cure for the wintertime blues. If you share our excitement for exceptional excursions, look no further than The Goldie Collection for luxurious rental homes in the coolest of spots.


Whether you're seeking a chic centrally-located studio to enjoy Christmastime in NYC, hunting for the perfect historic Beacon Hill mansion mere steps from Boston Common to host the ultimate family reunion, dream of recreating a magical Sound of Music moment in the picturesque hills of Austria, or coveting a much-needed warm weather oasis in the heart of Palm Springs to escape dropping temps and rising wind chills, there's something for everyone.


These sumptuous selections can be booked through third party apps, or - for a truly elevated experience - directly through owners to avoid those not inconsequential booking fees (take that, Airbnb!) and gain exclusive access to specialty concierge services (think fully stocked kitchens and full-time staff, your majesty) as well as personally curated lists for dining, activities, local attractions, and more.

 

So, whenever you're ready to vanquish that winter wanderlust, make The Goldie Collection your first stop. As for us, you may very well find us hiding out in sunny Palm Springs...at least until spring!



eastern standard

Let's not sugarcoat things - the holiday hustle is R.E.A.L. The shopping, the spending...we'd trade that for stress-free sweets and sips any day! That's why this year, we're swapping out the kitchen chaos and Pinterest fails and letting Eastern Standard serve up the cheer with the return of Gingerbread Standard Construction.


Perfect for families, friends, or your fiercely competitive office crew, you bring the creativity, and ES will supply the freshly-baked gingerbread house, decoration bar with ALL the trimmings, and a bag to tote your sugary masterpiece home (if it makes it that far!). Feeling snackish? Feast on a menu of ES fan-faves, festive treats, and tasty tipples sure to keep the spirits high and creative juices flowing.


Reservations are filling faster than Santa's sleigh, so don't sleep on this sugar-filled soirée. Sneak over to OpenTable now to secure your spot...because holiday stress is SO last season!

showcase cinemas

Lights, camera, craze! The most hyped cinematic double feature of the year is here: "Wicked" and "Gladiator II" are about to hit the big screen, and they're going to be nothing short of Popular. And guess who's bringing the magic and the mayhem? Showcase Cinemas, of course. From epic props to signature cocktails and themed concessions, they're giving fans every reason to be #WickedGlad.


At participating Showcase Cinemas locations in MA, RI and NY, you’ll find concessions that’ll make your inner fan go wild. We’re talking themed popcorn buckets, sodas served in cups shaped like Elphaba’s hat or Gladiator armor, and two next-level cocktails. Need something green and mean? Go for Elphaba’s Emerald Elixir—a spicy margarita with a wicked twist. Or, if you’re feeling bubbly, sip on Glinda’s Pink Puff Potion, a sweet concoction of vodka, ginger, and pink lemonade topped with a fluffy cotton candy cloud.


At Showcase SuperLux in Chestnut Hill, MA - the reigning “Best Luxury Movie Theater” by Boston magazine two years running - you’ll find a true gem: Denzel Washington’s costume from “Gladiator II” on display. Want to see an incredible replica prop of the Grimmerie (Elphaba’s magical spell book from Wicked)? Head to Showcase Cinema de Lux at Legacy Place in Dedham, MA – it’s a must-see for all fans!

 

The countdown is on, and tickets are flying faster than a wicked witch's broomstick. So get to Showcase and join in on the #WickedGlad madness before it’s too late!
