I went with my friends to a fashion show at the Tyson’s Galleria last night. It was pretty cool. It was an evening wear show, with about 50 dresses.

The fundraiser was for the Make A Wish foundation, and one of the kids receiving her wish was in the front row with her family.

Her dream is to go to a fashion show in Paris, and she’s headed there in about a week. Apparently the average cost of a wish is $7500, and they grant a wish almost every 40 minutes nationwide. It’s such a great and imaginative cause.

There were only two men in the show, but how many tuxes do we want to look at anyway?

The last dress was this purple gown. This was amazing in my opinion. Don’t you agree?

There was a silent auction going on as part of the event, and there were many offerings from the different stores in the Galleria.

I actually won one of the silent auctions. It is a shirt, tie, and cufflink combination from SARAR. It is worth about $230, I bid twice and won at $175. Not that it matters, it’s for the charity… but still there was a bidding war between me and on other guy. Too bad, Jim, mess with bull, you get the horns!

This slideshow has the rest of the photos from the night.

For extreme color matching: Urbanears!

I recently discovered Urbanears headphones. Ok, so I’m a little obsessed with these. I spotted them in an issue of GQ a few months ago. They come in almost any color you can imagine. I now have the start of a modestly growing collection. I think of them the same way I do my sneakers. I don’t NEED a bunch of high tops.. but it’s nice to have many different colors. The models I like, “Plattan”, are an over the ear variety. They have other styles. Who knows how far one can go with these? I think you need a little bit of attitude to strut around with them matching other stuff.

They aren’t going to compete with any audiophile’s choice in headphones I don’t think, but they do sound good enough for me. They also work with phones so you can hear the phone call on them.

The microphone doesn’t work that well though. I’m still trying to figure out if it is me.

I don’t have that many of them yet..but they are now etched into my mind. You can find them online at many different sale prices.. but if you want to try them, they are at urban outfitters.
