Fashionably Late (With This Post)

Trying to catch up!
Fun Outing Post!

Last Thursday evening, my dear girlfriend Shanna and I, attended the Make A Statement, Design for the Cure Fashion Show!
Invited by my other dear friend, Maggie Connell, who serves on the Aids Foundation of Chicago's Junior Board as the President!
The event was held at Le Passage, and yes, it was that kind of cool.
Steven Rosengard, from Chicago, and from the last season of Project Runway was a witty emcee.
Shanna was the perfect person to give her beady professional fashion eye to all of the designers and models we saw showcased on the catwalk, and it was really just a nice time to get out into the Chicago "It" scene, have a few cocktails, and have some fun.
Really the best part was seeing Maggie in her element. She LOOKED beautiful, the event was a HUGE success. I was just so proud of her! I KNOW how hard events are, I know the effort they take, the planning, etc. and I just loved watching her. She has been the biggest supporter of Open Books and I really appreciate all that she has done for us.
Here are a few pics of us being fab and fashionable.



I wish I would have gotten some more pictures of the fashion show, but it was jam packed!

More posts of my AMAZING LONG weekend, Mother's Day and time spent with my Mom and Sister in Chicago coming soon.
