ok, i am so late in posting and updating.
it's what happens when life takes you by the back of the neck and says "LIVE!"
and being that i am up and awake, i will take the opportunity to actually update my blog.
In February 2009, I took part in Gabriela Network's annual fashion show. This year's theme is called "A Mile in Her Shoes", a tribute to women defenders. I was asked to submit a pair for showcase, and to donate a pair for auction.
I selected Assata Shakur; and what better way to celebrate her but with 5-inch heel boots.
I donated Vans slip-ons for the auction:
The day was amazing. More than 300 people attended our event at the Eagle Rock Plaza.
Our Lovely Hosts
