Contacted in June by associates of Linda Randall, TJRandallGroup, to advertise in a book titled Makeup Artist's Who's Who which was scheduled to launch in Fall of 2009. The scheduled launch of the book was planned around a gala event set to take place on October 24 in Las Vegas, NV at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino and was to benefit Cancer Schmancer. 100% of proceeds of ticket sales were to be donated to Cancer Schmancer.
I signed a contract in June of which stated the book was to be published in Fall of and paid the sum of $500 for a 2 pages in the book Makeup Artists Who's Who. Per my contract I was promised a press release announcing my involvement with the book which I never received. Received notice on Oct 9 stating the book was delayed and to be launched in Jan. Received notice on October 21 the gala which was organized to now promote the book instead of celebrate the launch of the book had been cancelled thus canceling on Cancer Schmancer.
Sent an email to Linda Randall and associates on October 21 requesting a release from my contract, which did not officially hold any funds until the book went to publishing, and a refund in full.
As of October 23, I have not received a refund but the group claims they are processing the refund. I paid through PayPal to their PayPal which provides a simple refund transaction option.
Received an email from Cancer Schmancer on Friday, Oct 23 stating "due to unforeseen circumstances, Cancer Schmancer is no longer part of the book or book launch."
