PROXY STATEMENT
 
SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
 
June 7, 2011
 
INTRODUCTION
 
This Proxy Statement is furnished to the stockholders by the Board of Directors of Vanity Events Holding, Inc. (herein after referred to as the “Company”, “we,” “us,” or “our”), for solicitation of proxies for use at the Special Meeting of Stockholders to be held at Best Western Plus Windsor Inn, 12210 Biscayne Blvd., North Miami, Florida 33181, on beginning at 1:00 p.m., local time, and at any and all adjournments of the meeting.
 
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date of May 6, 2011 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting.  At that date there were 67,628,695 outstanding shares of our common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and 500,000 outstanding shares of our series A convertible preferred stock, par value $.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), our only outstanding voting securities.  At the Special Meeting, each share of Common Stock will be entitled to one vote.  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to 1,604 votes per share.  Upon filing an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized Common Stock so that there is an adequate amount of shares of authorized Common Stock for issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into an aggregate of 802,000,000 shares of our common stock.  
 
A stockholder giving a proxy pursuant to this solicitation may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by delivering to our Secretary a written notice of revocation prior to the Special Meeting, or by appearing at the meeting and expressing a desire to vote his or her shares in person.  Subject to such revocation, all shares represented by a properly executed proxy received prior to or at the Special Meeting will be voted by the proxy holders whose names are set forth in the accompanying proxy in accordance with the instructions on the proxy.  Solicitation of proxies may be made by directors, officers and other employees of the Company by personal interview, telephone, facsimile transmittal or electronic communications.  No additional compensation will be paid for any such services.  This solicitation of proxies is being made by the Company which will bear all costs associated with the mailing of this proxy statement and the solicitation of proxies.

The representation, in person or by properly executed proxy, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting.  Stockholders are not entitled to cumulate their votes.   If your shares are held by a broker, bank, broker-dealer or similar organization, you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name”.  If your shares are held in street name it is critical that you direct the organization holding your shares to vote the shares if you want your shares to be voted in the election of directors.  In the past, if you beneficially owned your shares in street name and you did not indicate how you wanted your shares voted in the election of directors, your bank or broker was allowed to vote those shares on your behalf in the election of directors as they felt appropriate.  Recent changes in regulation were made to take away the ability of your bank or broker to vote your uninstructed shares in the election of directors on a discretionary basis.  Thus, if you beneficially own your shares in street name and you do not instruct your bank or broker how to vote in the election of directors, no votes will be cast on your behalf. Your bank or broker will, however, continue to have discretion to vote any uninstructed shares on the other proposals included in this Proxy Statement.  
 
The purpose of the Special Meeting and the matters to be acted upon are set forth in the following Proxy Statement.  As of the date of this Proxy Statement, our Board of Directors knows of no other business which will be presented for consideration at the Special Meeting.  Whether or not you expect to attend the meeting in person, please vote your shares as promptly as possible to ensure that your vote is counted.  It is anticipated that the mailing to stockholders of this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy will commence on or about May 11, 2011.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT
 
ABOUT THE MEETING AND VOTING
 
1.
WHAT IS A PROXY?
 
It is your legal designation of another person to vote the stock that you own.  That other person is called a proxy.  If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document also is called a proxy or a proxy card.  Lloyd Lapidus, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Director, has been designated as proxy for the 2011 Special Meeting of Stockholders.
 
2.
WHAT IS THE RECORD DATE AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
 
The record date for the Special Meeting of Stockholders is May 6, 2011.  The record date is established by our Board of Directors as required by Delaware law and our By-laws.  Stockholders of record (registered stockholders and street name holders) at the close of business on the record date are entitled to:

receive notice of the meeting; and
 
 
(b)
vote at the meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the meeting.
 
3.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REGISTERED STOCKHOLDER AND A STOCKHOLDER WHO HOLDS STOCK IN STREET NAME?
 
If your shares of stock are registered in your name on the books and records of our transfer agent, you are a registered stockholder.

14. 
HOW MANY VOTES CAN BE CAST BY ALL STOCKHOLDERS?
 
869,628,695, consisting of one vote for each share of the Company’s common stock and one thousand six hundred four (1,604) votes for each share of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock that were outstanding on the record date.
 
15.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE PROXY CARD?
 
It means that you have multiple accounts with brokers or our transfer agent.  Please vote all of these shares.  We recommend that you contact your broker or our transfer agent to consolidate as many accounts as possible under the same name and address.  Our transfer agent is Olde Monmouth Stock Transfer Co., Inc., 200 Memorial Highway, Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey 07716, or you can reach Olde Monmouth Stock Transfer Co., Inc. at (732) 872-2727.
 
16.
WILL MY SHARES BE VOTED IF I DO NOT PROVIDE MY PROXY?
 
If your shares are registered in your name, they will not be voted unless you submit your proxy card, or vote in person at the meeting.  If your shares are held in street name, your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, under some circumstances, may vote your shares.
 
Brokerage firms, banks and other nominees may vote customers' unvoted shares on "routine" matters.  Generally, a broker may not vote a customer's unvoted shares on non-routine matters without instructions from the customer and must instead submit a "broker non-vote."  A broker non-vote is counted toward the shares needed for a quorum, but it is not counted in determining whether a matter has been approved.
 
17.
ARE ABSTENTIONS AND BROKER NON-VOTES COUNTED?
 
If your shares are held by a broker, bank, broker-dealer or similar organization, you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name”.  If your shares are held in street name it is critical that you direct the organization holding your shares to vote the shares if you want your shares to be voted in the election of directors.  In the past, if you beneficially owned your shares in street name and you did not indicate how you wanted your shares voted in the election of directors, your bank or broker was allowed to vote those shares on your behalf in the election of directors as they felt appropriate.  Recent changes in regulation were made to take away the ability of your bank or broker to vote your uninstructed shares in the election of directors on a discretionary basis.  Thus, if you beneficially own your shares in street name and you do not instruct your bank or broker how to vote in the election of directors, no votes will be cast on your behalf. Your bank or broker will, however, continue to have discretion to vote any uninstructed shares on the other proposals included in this Proxy Statement.  
 
18.
HOW MANY VOTES MUST BE PRESENT TO HOLD THE MEETING?
 
To hold the meeting and conduct business, a majority of our outstanding voting shares as of May 6, 2011 must be present at the meeting.  On this date, a total of 67,628,695 shares of our Common Stock and 500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were outstanding and entitled to vote, respectively. Each share of our Common Stock is entitled to one vote and each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to 1,604 votes per share, respectively.  As such, a majority, or 434,901,311 votes, must be present.  This is called a quorum.
 
Votes are counted as present at the meeting if the stockholder either:
 
 
(l)
Is present and votes in person at the meeting, or
 
 
(m)
Has properly submitted a proxy card.

When evaluating candidates for election to the Board, the Nominating Committee seeks candidates with certain qualities that it believes are important, including integrity, an objective perspective, good judgment, leadership skills.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
Our business, property and affairs are managed by or under the direction of the board of directors. Members of the board are kept informed of our business through discussion with the chief executive and financial officers and other officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating at meetings of the board and its committees.

Audit Committee

The Board of Directors acts as the audit committee. The Company does not have a qualified financial expert at this time because it has not been able to hire a qualified candidate. Further, the Company believes that it has inadequate financial resources at this time to hire such an expert. The Company intends to continue to search for a qualified individual for hire.

Nominating Committee

We have not adopted any procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.

Compensation Committee

We currently do not have a compensation committee of the board of directors. Until a formal committee is established, if at all, our entire board of directors will review all forms of compensation provided to our executive officers, directors, consultants and employees including stock compensation and loans.
 
Director Nominations
 
Stockholders who wish to recommend a candidate for election to the Board may submit such nominations pursuant to timely notice in writing.  To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received at our principal executive offices, not less than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is changed by more than 30 days from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the earlier of the day on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure was made. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (a) as to the proposed candidate, the name, contact information, background, experience and other pertinent information; (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice (i) the name and address, as they appear on the books of the Company, of such stockholder and (ii) the class and number of shares which are beneficially owned by such stockholder and also which are owned of record by such stockholder; and (c) as to the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, (i) the name and address of the beneficial owner and (ii) the class and number of shares of the Company which are beneficially owned by the beneficial owner.

Director Independence
 
Two of our directors, Nick Morf and Gregory Pippo, are independent directors, using the Nasdaq definition of independence.  

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, all officers, directors and 10% stockholders were late in their filings.
 
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Lloyd Lapidus is our chairman and interim chief executive officer. We do not have any independent directors. The Board believes that the Company’s interim chief executive officer is best situated to serve as Chairman of the Board because he is the director most familiar with our business and industry and the director most capable of identifying strategic priorities and executing our business strategy. In addition, having a single leader eliminates the potential for confusion and provides clear leadership for the Company. We believe that this leadership structure has served the Company well.

Our Board of Directors has overall responsibility for risk oversight. Our Board of Directors is responsible to approve all related party transactions. We have not adopted written policies and procedures specifically for related person transactions.

PROPOSAL 2:

AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO
EFFECT A 300-TO-1 REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

 On February 18, 2011, the board of directors of the Company approved an amendment, subject to shareholder approval, to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split at the ratio of 300 for 1. The Company currently has authorized capital stock of 350,000,000 shares and 67,628,695 shares of Common Stock are outstanding as of May 6, 2011.  Pursuant to the reverse stock split, the 67,628,695 shares of Common Stock outstanding and the 802,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Old Shares”) would be automatically converted into approximately 225,429 shares of Common Stock and 2,673,333 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. (the “New Shares”).

The reason for the reverse stock split is to increase the per share stock price.  The Company believes that if it is successful in maintaining a higher stock price, the stock will generate greater interest among professional investors and institutions. If the Company is successful in generating interest among such entities, it is anticipated that the shares of its common stock would have greater liquidity and a stronger investor base.  No assurance can be given, however, that the market price of the New Shares will rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of outstanding shares resulting from the reverse stock split. The New Shares issued pursuant to the reverse stock split will be fully paid and non-assessable. All New Shares will have the same par value, voting rights and other rights as Old Shares. Stockholders of the Company do not have preemptive rights to acquire additional shares of common stock, which may be issued.

The one for 300 reverse stock split is being effectuated by reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares at the ratio of 300 for 1.  The authorized number of shares of common stock shall not be impacted by the reverse stock split.  Accordingly, as a result of the reverse stock split, the Company will still have approximately 349,774,571authorized unissued shares (prior to any increase in the authorized capital as elsewhere described herein and assuming full conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) which shares may be issued in connection with acquisitions or subsequent financings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in making any such acquisitions or obtaining any such financings. In addition, the reverse stock split has potentially dilutive effects on each of the shareholders. Each of the shareholders may be diluted to the extent that any of the authorized but unissued shares are subsequently issued.

The reverse stock split will not alter any shareholder's percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in any of the Company’s shareholders owning a fractional share.   No fractional shares shall be issued. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, the Company will issue to any stockholder who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split an additional full share of its Common Stock. The principal effects of the reverse stock split will be that the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (excluding the 802,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) will be reduced from 67,628,695 to approximately 225,429 and the Company's stated capital will be reduced by approximately $67,404 and its additional paid-in capital will be increased by approximately $67,404.

In addition, commencing with the effective date of the reverse stock split, all outstanding options or convertible debentures entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock will entitle such holders to receive, upon exercise of their options, one-three-hundredths of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock which such holders may purchase upon exercise of their options or conversions. In addition, commencing on the effective date of the reverse stock split, the exercise price of all outstanding options and warrants will be increased by 300 and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of such outstanding options and warrants will be decreased by 300.

 The Company believes that the Federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split to holders of common stock will be as follows:

 
 (i)
Except as explained in (v) below, no income gain or loss will be recognized by a shareholder on the surrender of the current shares or receipt of the certificate representing new post-split shares.

 
(ii)
Except as explained in (v) below, the tax basis of the New Shares will equal the tax basis of the Old Shares exchanged therefor.

 
(iii)
Except as explained in (v) below, the holding period of the New Shares will include the holding period of the Old Shares if such Old Shares were held as capital assets.

 
(iv)
The conversion of the Old Shares into the new shares will produce no taxable income or gain or loss to the Company.

 
(v)
The Federal income tax treatment of the receipt of the additional fractional interest by a shareholder is not clear and may result in tax liability not material in amount in view of the low value of such fractional interest.
 
 The Company's opinion is not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts will accept the positions expressed above.

THE ABOVE DISCUSSION IS A BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE EFFECTS OF FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION UPON THE PARTICIPANTS AND THE COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT. THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE COMPLETE AND DOES NOT ADDRESS THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO TAXPAYERS WITH SPECIAL TAX STATUS. IN ADDITION, THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT DISCUSS THE PROVISIONS OF THE INCOME TAX LAWS OF ANY MUNICIPALITY, STATE OR FOREIGN COUNTRY IN WHICH THE PARTICIPANT MAY RESIDE, AND DOES NOT DISCUSS ESTATE, GIFT OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OTHER THAN INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES. THE COMPANY ADVISES EACH PARTICIPANT TO CONSULT HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT AND FOR REFERENCE TO APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.

 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE AMENDMENT TO
 
 THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO AUTHORIZE THE 300 TO 1 REVERSE SPLIT.

PROPOSAL 3:

AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE OUR
AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

On February 18, 2011, the board of directors of the Company approved an amendment, subject to shareholder approval, an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 350,000,000 to 1,300,000,000. The Company currently has authorized Common Stock of 350,000,000 shares and approximately 67,628,695 are issued and outstanding as of May 6, 2011. The Board believes that the increase in authorized common shares would provide the Company greater flexibility with respect to the Company's capital structure for such purposes as additional equity financing, and stock based acquisitions.

INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK

The terms of the additional shares of Common Stock will be identical to those of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. However, because holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any unissued stock of the Company, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock will reduce the current stockholders' percentage ownership interest in the total outstanding shares of Common Stock. This amendment and the creation of additional shares of authorized common stock will not alter the current number of issued shares. The relative rights and limitations of the shares of Common Stock will remain unchanged under this amendment.

As of May 6, 2011, a total of 67,628,695 shares of the Company's currently authorized 350,000,000 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding. The increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock would enable the Company, without further stockholder approval, to issue shares from time to time as may be required for proper business purposes, such as raising additional capital for ongoing operations, business and asset acquisitions, stock splits and dividends, present and future employee benefit programs and other corporate purposes.

The proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock could have a number of effects on the Company's stockholders depending upon the exact nature and circumstances of any actual issuances of authorized but unissued shares. The increase could have an anti-takeover effect, in that additional shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover of the Company more difficult. For example, additional shares could be issued by the Company so as to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain control of the Company, even if the persons seeking to obtain control of the Company offer an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the independent stockholders. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to certain persons allied with the Company's management could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove the Company's current management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal. The Company does not have any other provisions in its certificate or incorporation, by-laws, employment agreements, credit agreements or any other documents that have material anti-takeover consequences. Additionally, the Company has no plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements, except as disclosed below, that may have material anti-takeover consequences. The Board of Directors is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, and this proposal is not being presented with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti-takeover device.

 Except for the following, there are currently no plans, arrangements, commitments or understandings for the issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock which are proposed to be authorized:

On December 31, 2010, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) by and among the Company, Shogun Energy, Inc., a South Dakota corporation (“Shogun”), Shawn Knapp, the principal shareholder of Shogun (the “Principal Shareholder”) and the other shareholders of Shogun (the “Shogun Shareholders” and collectively with the Principal Shareholder, the “Shareholders”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Shareholders exchanged an aggregate of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Shogun in exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company’s series A preferred stock (the “Exchange”). Each share of series A preferred stock shall be entitled to 1,604 votes per share and shall be convertible into 1,604 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Upon filing an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock so that there is an adequate amount of shares of authorized common stock for issuance upon conversion of the series A preferred stock (the “Amendment”), the shares of series A preferred stock will be automatically converted into an aggregate of 802,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Exchange Agreement contains customary terms and conditions for a transaction of this type, including representations, warranties and covenants, as well as provisions describing the Exchange consideration, the process of exchanging the consideration and the effect of the Exchange.   The closing of the transaction took place on December 31, 2010 (the “Closing Date”).

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE AMENDMENT TO
THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE OUR AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

VANITY EVENTS HOLDING, INC. TO OAKWOOD HOLDING COMPANY

 
On February 18, 2011, the board of directors of the Company approved an amendment, subject to shareholder approval, an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name from Vanity Events Holding, Inc. to Oakwood Holding Company.  The board of directors of the Company has declared this amendment to be advisable and recommended that this proposal be presented to the Company’s shareholders for approval.
 
If the shareholders approve this Proposal No. 4, Vanity Events Holdings, Inc. will file a certificate of amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to change the Company’s name. Upon filing the certificate of amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, the name of the Company will become Oakwood Holding Company.

The board of directors believes the name change would be in the best interest of the Company as the new name better reflects the long-term strategy and identity of the Company. While the “Vanity Events Holding, Inc.” name has served the Company over time, the Company’s management believes this opportunity presented the right timing to change the Company’s name.
 
To better reflect our new business direction, our board of Directors recommends that we change our name to Oakwood Holding Company.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE AMENDMENT TO
 THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE OUR NAME FROM
VANITY EVENTS HOLDING, INC. TO OAKWOOD HOLDING COMPANY

PROPOSAL 5:

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors has appointed RBSM LLP to serve as independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2011.  Effective February 2, 2010, RBSM, LLP has served as our independent auditors and is considered by our management to be well qualified..  The aggregate fees billed to us by RBSM LLP, our principal accountant for professional services rendered during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 in connection with their audits of our December 31, 2010 and 2009 consolidated financial statements and reviews of our interim consolidated financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other professional services as audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and all other fees are set forth in the table below:

(1) Audit fees consist of fees incurred for professional services rendered for the audit of financial statements, for reviews of our interim consolidated financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and for services that are normally provided in connection with statutory or regulatory filings or engagements.
 
(2) Audit-related fees consist of fees billed for professional services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements, but are not reported under “Audit fees.”
 
(3) Tax fees consist of fees billed for professional services relating to tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.
 
(4) All other fees consist of fees billed for all other services.

We currently do not have a designated Audit Committee, and accordingly, our Board of Directors' policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditors. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent auditors and management are required to periodically report to our Board of Directors regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The Board of Directors may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis.

The Board of Directors determined that all services provided by RBSM LLP in 2010 were compatible with maintaining the independence of the principal accountants.

Representatives of RBSM LLP will not attend the special meeting.


 
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF
RBSM LLP
AS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS OF THE COMPANY.

ANNUAL REPORT

A copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, accompanies this notice.

FUTURE PROPOSALS OF SECURITY HOLDERS

Stockholders who wish to present proposals for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders may do so by following the procedures prescribed in Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.  To be eligible, the stockholder proposals must be received by our Secretary at our principal executive office on or before December 31, 2011.  Under SEC rules, you must have continuously held for at least one year prior to the submission of the proposal (and continue to hold through the date of the meeting) at least $2,000 in market value, or 1%, of our outstanding stock in order to submit a proposal which you seek to have included in the Company’s proxy materials.  We may, subject to SEC review and guidelines, decline to include any proposal in our proxy materials.

Stockholders who wish to make a proposal at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, other than one that will be included in our proxy materials, must notify us no later than December 31, 2011 (see Rule 14a-4(c)(1) under the Exchange Act). If a stockholder who wishes to present a proposal fails to notify us by December 31, 2011, the proxies that management solicits for the meeting will confer discretionary authority to vote on the stockholder’s proposal if it is properly brought before the meeting.
 
 
HOUSEHOLDING

“Householding” is a program, approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission which allows companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports by delivering only one package of shareholder proxy material to any household at which two or more shareholders reside. If you and other residents at your mailing address own shares of our common stock in street name, your broker or bank may have notified you that your household will receive only one copy of our proxy materials. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” materials to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the proxy statement and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account. If you hold shares of our common stock in your own name as a holder of record, “householding” will not apply to your shares.
 
We will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of our annual report and/or proxy statement to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of either document was delivered. For copies of either or both documents, shareholders should call us at 605-692-8226, or send a written request to Vanity Events Holding, Inc., 118 Front Street, Brookings, South Dakota  57006, Attn: CEO. 

OTHER BUSINESS

The Board of Directors knows of no business to be brought before the annual meeting other than as set forth above. If other matters properly come before the stockholders at the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named on the proxy to vote the shares represented thereby on such matters in accordance with their judgment.
