Our gorgeous Community Work

At gorgeous, we are of the firm belief that when conducting an
ethical business, it should never be “all take & no give”...
We make a point of supporting numerous charities & worthy causes – plus of
course, the dance community that we serve & earn our living from...
We proudly support “Club Slick” – a Rock ‘n’ Roll Club “with a difference”,
Club Slick is a fabulous innovation from the Down Syndrome Society of South
Australia, & you can check out their site at: www.downssa.asn.au...
The annual Good Friday Appeal for the Royal Melbourne Children’s Hospital
is another very worthwhile cause which attracts our support...
We also supported various appeals & events that were held to aid victims of
the Tsunami in Indonesia & a number of other Asian Countries...
Other charities that we support are:  The Anti-Cancer Council of Victoria;
Children’s Cancer Institute;  Breast Cancer Awareness;  The Heart Foundation;
Baker Heart Institute;  MS Society of Victoria;  Spina Bifida Queensland;
Epilepsy Foundation of Victoria;  The Salvation Army;  Glaucoma Australia;
Guide Dogs Victoria;  Royal Victorian Institute for the Blind;  Smith Family;
Oxfam Community Aid Abroad;  Australia Huntington's Disease Association;
The Australian Red Cross;  Relay for Life;  Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Appeal;  
St John Ambulance;  Catholic Homes for the Elderly;  The Starlight Foundation;  
Bendigo Tsunami Appeal;  VRRDA Tsunami Appeal;  Various other Tsunami Appeals;  
Medecins Sans Frontieres;  Gippsland Cancer Care Centre;  St Vincent de Paul;  
The Royal Melbourne Hospital;  National Down Syndrome Annual Buddy Walk;
Various Service Club Appeals & Fundraisers - Lions,  Apex,  Kiwanis,  Rotary...  
 Plus many smaller “one-off” worthy causes...
There’s many Rock ‘n’ Roll & Swing Clubs, Schools & event holders who often
& generously organize dances for charitable causes – they invariably contact
gorgeous as they know they can rely on our active support & contributions...
We display our clothes, shoes ‘n’ other stuff at dances, festivals, hotrod runs &
various other events throughout Melbourne, Victoria & Interstate – gorgeous
always donates Gift Vouchers for door prizes, raffles, etc., to help offset
their running costs – these are usually not charity events, but we
believe in making appropriate contributions – wherever we go...
A number of the above charities including their “Letters of Appreciation”
are shown on this page...


Our gorgeous shoes range, much
of our clothing range, our
various other bits 'n' pieces,
& details of our exclusive
"personalized" Gift Vouchers
are available online in special
"print-friendly" versions.
Our print-friendly section serves
as the gorgeous "Catalogue".
Just click on the link below:

Also, because of requests from
some of our gorgeous customers
who "feature" on our website,
these pages are now available
on our "print-friendly server





Down Syndrome Society


'gorgeous' frequently & will continue to
“lend a hand” helping worthy causes,
organizations & charities…
But we have a particularly soft spot for
“Club Slick”, an innovation of the Down Syndrome Society of South Australia…
“Club Slick” was established in response
to requests from members to provide
increased opportunities for young
people to socialise, and to develop
skills that enable them to participate
in a range of community activities…
The intention of “Club Slick” is to involve
as many young people as possible in
the development of the Club, including
participating as committee members
and dance instructors…
We have seen the “Club Slick” performers in action and they are so fabulous - & they just love their 'gorgeous' dancin' shoes…
If you would like to also “lend a hand”,
then you can contact the Club from their
website at: www.downssa.asn.au









































gorgeous were pleased to donate 5 x US$20 vouchers to
help The Roxbury PEC from Landing, New Jersey USA,
raise funds in their annual "Buddy Walk" for the
US National Down Syndrome Society

We feel it is the least we can do. Without great sponsors like you, we could never pull off such a great event.

Thanks again for your support!!!

Hi again Joanne...

Thanks for sending us the "Expression of Gratitude" - it's surprising how few of the many people/organizations that we support do so, it was greatly appreciated...

We've included it on our site at: http://mary.busuttil.tripod.com/id137.htm & at: http://gorgeous-gear-print.tripod.com/id34.htm...

regards

Mary & Ray

The theme for our walk is "rock and roll". We always like to get prizes to go along with our theme. I linked to your site from google - you guys really looked unique...or should I say...gorgeous!!!

Thanks again.

Joanne

If you live in Melbourne, Australia - or you're here for a visit, then
you're most welcome to make a time to call in to personally
check out our gorgeous range of shoes, clothes, etc
at our home-based showroom in Craigieburn…
We also display our range at rock `n' roll & swing dances, classes
& festivals in Melbourne, Victoria & occasionally Interstate…
You'll be most impressed with both the quality & range of items
that you certainly “won't find in your local shopping mall”…
Not to mention our friendly & personal, efficient Aussie service…




We've been experiencing quite a few email
problems lately - both sending & receiving...

If you send us an email to our usual address at:


 & you don't receive a timely answer,
then please try our alternative email at:





FREE INTERNATIONAL TELEPHONE CALLS
You can talk to us at gorgeous from your computer absolutely FREE
It's just like talking over the telephone - but you don't have to pay
those horrendously expensive international phone call rates
You'll need to install a clever little freeware program called "Skype"
It's available to download at:  www.skype.com
Once you've installed "Skype", search for us under "gorgeous-gear"
in Australia - & you can then speak to us completely FREE
You can even call people who don't have "Skype", or have a computer
Yes, it does cost you a little, but we really do mean "a little" - & it's
also considerably less than those International Phone Cards
eg: Check out the costs of a 30 minute call between Australia & the
following Countries - & the costs are the same in either direction:
USA:
  US 62 cents
New Zealand:
  NZ 98 cents
Canada:  
  CA 72 cents
South Africa:
  Rand 3.8
United Kingdom:
  UK 35 pence
Japan:  
  Yen 73
Europe:  
  Euro 51 cents
Singapore:  
  SG 98 cents
Switzerland:  
  Franc 0.80
China:  
  Yuan 5


Details are on the "Skype" site - under "SkypeOut"
If you have a webcam, we can even "eyeball" while we're talking
with "Skype" video calling  - & this is also completely FREE

<div><a href="http%3A%2F%2Fshare.skype.com%2Fin%2F26%2Fgorgeous-gear" target="_blank"><img src=" http://share.skype.com/show/flash/?id=26" border="0" alt="Share Skype" id="skype-banner-img" width="120" height="60" /></a></div>
"Skype's" PRIVATE chat function includes a conference call facility
In the course of our gorgeous business, we make many calls to our
customers right across the world - & as you can probably tell
from all this, we're absolutley rapt with "Skype"
"Skype" is a fabulous utility & so easy to use - it's saving us a "bundle"

“I knew it was over when I downloaded Skype,” Michael Powell, chairman, Federal Communications Commission, explained. “When the inventors of KaZaA are distributing for free a little program that you can use to talk to anybody else, and the quality is fantastic, and it’s free – it’s over.    The world will change now inevitably.”

If you "click" on the clock, it will open a new window
showing you the Day & Date here in Australia
