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!
