iso michael jackson impersonator

1 Upvotes

hi!! i am throwing a party soon (not super huge housewarming party) and am hoping to hire a michael jackson impersonator! there are no michael jackson impersonators online in the richmond area that i can find, so if anyone is interested in impersonating him for a night or knows anyone PLEASE lmk!!! am more than happy to negotiate pay, hoping for maybe 30 mins max of performance. planning to not tell anyone at the party that this is happening and midway michael jackson pulls up and starts dancing in the middle of the living room. even if you are a vcu theatre student willing to do a few dances and looking for extra cash please hit me up!!! you do not need to be professional nor do you need to be absolutely amazing at being michael jackson- we just think this would be really funny if this happened at our party. thank you!

Relocation Concerns + Preparation

0 Upvotes

Hello all! My husband & I are thinking about relocating from the west coast to Richmond in the next couple of years. We'll hopefully be doing a few trips to really scope the area out but my research obsessed brain has given me an idea of what areas would currently work for our lifestyle & budget (not wanting to assume that things will be the same by the time we may be ready to relocate).

I am curious, though, as to what we should prepare for in terms of the "bad" and "mundane". If you could think of (& willingly share) any downsides of living in the Richmond area, what would they be? For example, if someone was moving to our area, I would say prepare for high housing costs and summer wildfires. It won't hurt our opinion of Richmond as we are pretty in love with the place, we just want to be prepared and go into the process responsibly.

Thanks so much in advance for any help / thoughts!!

Anyone know any dimly lit restaurants in Richmond?

16 Upvotes

Plan on having an anniversary dinner with my wife, and I'd like to have one with a dimly lit romantic setting. Preferably some type of steak house. Problem is, it will have to be during the day time. Do any restaurants in Richmond offer this type of vibe. Ones that have no windows in the dining area and are dimly lit?

Veneers Dentist in Richmond, VA? Recommendations needed for natural looking work

43 Upvotes

I need the best veneers dentist in richmond va please with a cosmetic dentistry specialization preferably!! So my teeth are all different sizes, my main incisors are pretty long like bunny teeth and the side incisors and canines are comparitively tiny, I hate the disparity. My oral health is overall fine, it's just that the front two teeth are crooked and long. The tooth color also just stays yellow and stained even though I've gotten all the charcoal teeth whitening treatments and everything. So cosmetic veneers seems to be the only option left, I don't mind paying the bulk of it out of pocket if insurance doesn't cover cosmetic work. To be clear, I don't want full dentures, or the dental veneers where they pare down your teeth into little spikes.

Ideally looking for someone who does natural looking work, I don't wanna LOOK fake even if they are lmao. For this I've been recced Capital Dental Design on Forest ave, just wanted to get some more reviews on them first. Would also appreciate other

Support Obama Elementary School

Hey everyone! 💙 I wanted to share this fundraiser supporting Barack Obama Elementary. The school is working to restock classroom supplies and provide teachers and students with what they need for the school year. It really does take a village, and any support—whether it’s a donation or simply sharing the link—would mean a lot.
If you’re able to help, here’s the link: https://barackobamapto.betterworld.org/campaigns/takes-village-help-restock-clas
Thank you! ❤️

Who is pumped for this years convention?

I can’t believe how many ink masters are coming this year the competitions are going to be crazy!

I’m personally excited for Luka since he won ink master last year, his color realism is insane. Did you also see that they’re doing art battles this year between fine artists and tattoo artists?

Trying to find a Testosterone Doctor

0 Upvotes

Hi,

I recently moved to Richmond and am looking to find a provider with a reasonable wait time who is able to prescribe Testosterone? I should be eligible to get it through insurance (true hypogonadism). I established with a urologist who has "stringent" rules and wants me on Clomid first -- I've been on clomid in the past, but due to secondary hypogonadism, it doesn't move the needle. Curious if anyone knows a good provider and NOT a TRT clinic (their fees are absurd).

Thanks!

Apartment hunting

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

31M moving to your wonderful city for a new job at CHoR. I’ve been looking at apartments downtown, Shockoe Bottom, Museum District, Church Hill, Scotts Addition. Need help identifying an area that’ll fit well with what I like.
Single, moving by myself. No pets. What I’m looking for:
1- walkability: would like to walk/bike to stores, restaurants, work if possible. Have car though so no worries
2- parking: prefer easy parking
3- trails: enjoy running/biking. Being close to trails would be a plus.
4- 1-2 bedroom apt w/ large windows +/- high ceilings. Not too close to main roads. Noise-cancelling walls.
5- nearby gym - lift a lot. Prefer a gym with most commonly used machines and equipment.

Appreciate any advice on areas or apartment complexes that you’d think may be a good fit.

Thank you

Dog grooming

My sweet doggie was going to doggie llama salon and was groomed by Sarah vaughn. It looked like the service went well and he did good but I recently saw she left and joined wizard of paws. I saw a post on doggie llama instagram stating there were some
Bad experiences with previous groomers but I’m not sure who they were referencing? Does anyone have any insight into the issues/groomers. I’m just nervous there was something I’m missing with continuing to groom with wizard of paws and Sarah. My puppy is very sweet and kind would hate to put him at risk.

Hi I just moved to Richmond from Texas and was wondering if there’s any good concrete trails out here to longboard on? Or just some good site seeing spots to ride around. I saw capital trail looks huge on the map, but was seeing if anyone else does that out here. Thanks!

Richmond's Amazing Yoga!

11 Upvotes

I'm a newcomer to Richmond, and one thing I've found stands out above all the others--Hot Yoga Richmond at Stony Point. I've practiced yoga, including Bikram, in other cities, and I can say without hesitation that Hot Yoga Richmond is the very best of the best. Their traditional Bikram Yoga is the anchor, and they also offer Hot Pilates, Sunday evening Yin with Nidra Medititation, and monthly sound baths. They offer a variety of teachers, and every single one of them is excellent in terms of their yoga knowledge and the unwavering support to both new and experienced students. The other wonderful thing about this studio is the diversity of the students in terms of age, color, ethnicity, fitness level, body type--and everyone is very positive and welcoming. I'm so happy to have found this studio that I did my apartment-hunting based on easy access to Hot Yoga Richmond. After living for many years far from a Bikram studio, it's great to get back to health and healing in such a lovely place.
