Louisville's Best Dressed

Last night was the 3rd annual Voice Tribune's Best Dressed Gala to benefit Hosparus. My 15 year old daughter and favorite alterations specialist, Sherry, accompanied me to the event. You can imagine the time it took for me and my daughter to get dressed, do our hair and makeup for an event where everyone is going to look their very best. Of course my daughter looked like a stunning 20 year old with her retro dress and hair. I wasn't sure her dad was going to let her out of the house.

It wasn't until we arrived that the former recipients were given a letter and asked to walk the runway prior to the fashion show. Once over the shock of having to be "on stage" we followed the guides to the reception area. There was Nigel Barker from America's Next top Model. I immediately took his picture with my daughter. What a genuinely nice guy and yes he is as handsome in person as he is on television. I loved the reception, the food was great, I enjoyed the addition of having informal models but my favorite was chatting with all my beautiful friends that were there.

When it was time to enter the room for the fashion show it was fun to see all the corporate sofas and beds. They did a great job giving this event a New York feel. Of course I loved walking the runway. This was a switch - usually my daughter is the one in the fashion shows.

Jo Ross produced the electrifying fashion show. Blades furnished the extreme hair and makeup on the models but it was the clothing that wowed the audience. Even though it was local boutiques and stores, it looked like combinations you would see in Milan.

The highlight of the evening was the announcement of the 2008 Best Dressed women, men and couples. Congratulations to all. Welcome to the elite group of men and women with women who will now feel the pressure to go to the grocery in full makeup, heels and only on good hair days because of this new title. You get use to it.

If you have not yet attended the Best Dressed Gala, I highly recommend it for next year. Congratulations to the Voice Tribune for an enjoyable and memorable evening.
Continued success. Can't wait for next year.
Joyfully,
Chris
