A Whimsical Afternoon at the Kiss & Tell Tea Party

On August 17, 2024, West Texas Social transformed Stoex in Amarillo into a realm of charm, mystery, and laughter for its exclusive Kiss & Tell Tea Party. This enchanting event was a unique fusion of elegance and intrigue, providing guests with an afternoon of captivating experiences that left everyone talking.

With limited space and high demand, tickets for the tea party sold out quickly on West Texas Social’s Facebook event page, WTXSocial. Attendees, dressed in chic tea attire and adorned with playful tea hats, fully embraced the whimsical theme, creating an atmosphere of sophistication and fun. The maximalist invitations designed by Designin’ Minds set the tone perfectly—bold, vibrant, and full of life.

The main attraction was undoubtedly Lip Prints by Laura. Laura, one of only eight certified Lipsologists in the world, traveled from Dallas to bring her unique skill to Amarillo. Certified in October 2015 under the guidance of Jilly Eddy, the pioneer of Lipsology and author of "Lipsology: The Art and Science of Reading Lip Prints", Laura brought a blend of science, art, and intuition to the event.

Guests eagerly applied fresh lipstick and kissed cards multiple times, numbering their prints. Laura’s readings were a delightful mix of humor and insight, as she interpreted the subconscious messages hidden in each kiss. With every lip print uniquely different from the last, each reading felt personal and memorable, sparking curiosity and joy throughout the room. Whether revealing hidden strengths, playful traits, or current emotions, Laura’s readings had everyone enchanted and eager for more.

Complementing the intrigue of Lipsology were exquisite culinary offerings. Buttercream Bento delivered an artistic touch with hand-painted cakes, while Scratch Made added nostalgia with their homemade pop tarts. Guests savored every bite as Sip & Giggles poured two signature drinks, creating a delightful pairing of flavors and fun. Each table was adorned with elegant florals and vintage tea cups curated by Avant Garden, enhancing the tea party’s enchanting ambiance.

Adding to the charm, makeup artist Kim Wood shared expert tips, particularly on lipstick application—a fitting touch for the lip-themed event. Her guidance helped guests perfect their pouts before leaving their prints for Laura, blending beauty with entertainment seamlessly.

Creative Native masterfully documented the afternoon, capturing every candid laugh, thoughtful gaze, and elegant tea cup in hand. Each photograph reflected the spirit of the day: a joyful celebration of individuality and connection.

The Kiss & Tell Tea Party was more than just an event; it was a celebration of community, creativity, and the unexpected. Guests left with hearts full and minds buzzing from the unique experiences they shared. This enchanting afternoon reaffirmed West Texas Social’s dedication to curating unforgettable moments, and many attendees are already eagerly awaiting their next event.

Whether for its delightful Lipsology readings, gourmet treats, or elegant setting, the Kiss & Tell Tea Party was truly an unforgettable occasion.
