I was invited to attend the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation's Seven Stars for the Seventh Season 2008 celebration. As promised, I am keeping true to my resolution to attend more industry events. It was Friday, and perfect timing for me to catch up with my cousin and get out of the house. So, I met her after work and we headed down to Suzie Wong's on 27th between 10th and 11th.Place was packed, designers were honored, drinks were served and then a magician appeared. Josh Beckerman wasn't part of the show, at least that is what he said. But two minutes after meeting him, he was whipping out decks of cards and fuzz balls. It was SO MUCH FUN! You should check out his website.Originally Kate Walsh was scheduled to appear but she evidentially came down with the flu. However, Carmen Electra showed and she is as beautiful in person as she is in photos. AND she is TINY. Maybe it was because I was wearing 4 inch heels (that I couldn't walk in - HELLO!) but I towered over her (I'm slouching in this shot). I was standing right next to the VIP area because I knew that is where the celebrities would go. She came in, the rope was lifted and her interviews began. I ran to the PR people sponsoring the event and asked if I could take a picture of Carmen. They knew my site (thank GAWD) and let me in. SO EXCITED! Long story short, I had to wait a bit but I got the shot and even had one taken of the two of us. Too bad I looked like a freaking dog. NO WAY I am posting that bad boy. But trust me, that's me with Carmen. Told her we followed her fashion and thanked her for her time. Got out of the way for the rest of the ravenous hounds waiting for their turn. Lots of fun. :)Click on the thumbnails to enlarge.
