Doggies on the Catwalk,guess who’s modeling?

Monday, November 8th, 2010

Doggies on the Catwalk is an annual fashion show to benefit the Pals non profit organization, produced by my friend Vincent Martinez. He also created the fashion division, Urban Couture at Grady High School. Think Tim Gunn from project runway for high school kids lol. Each year the senior class has to make a garment for local influential people in the community and I was chosen to participate! I did a cartwheel when I got the invite!

My designer, Timothy Bennett

Vincent, Timothy and Me

So the other day I got to visit Grady High School and meet my designer Timothy Bennett, he was too cute! He wants to be a doctor and attend Ga State when he graduates next year. He also loves sewing interiors for old school rides thats why he took the class. We hit it off right away and he asked me what I would like to wear. He sketched out a drawing and we both loved it. I told him as long as it had some pink and poof,I was a happy camper!

This will be the 4th Annual fashion show and it will be held at Scad Atlanta. More details will come when I get them. Oh, did I tell yah I will be walking with a furry friend? Timothy told me he has some new bulldog puppies and if I would like to walk with one of them. I said sure and can’t wait to meet my model. This is going to be a hoot I can tell already! This will be a televised event that will air on Georgia Public Broadcasting, too Pinktastic!
