Another Fashion Statement

Although the Saturday Market is always good for fashion ideas to take back to Idaho, I readily accepted an invitation to attend a fund-raising style show last week. Sponsored by a local PTA, the event was organized to raise funds for a high school gymnasium. The sold-out event was held at the historic Blue Baths in Government Gardens - an early 1900's Spanish Mission-style building I had yet to see.

Attendees were greeted with a glass of champagne and then sampled trays of "nibbles" while waiting for festivities to begin. The event was a hoot from the get-go! We shared the fun with 300 others, and there wasn't a bad seat in the house. Moms and dads strutted down the runway to music that made me want to dance, so it took all of my self control to remain seated. The evening featured clothes from local stores, a segment on "wearable art," musical entertainment, an extreme makeover for one lucky gal, and the obligatory auction.

I don't know how much the parents raised for their school, but the event was a huge success and I had an absolute blast!
