Party with Christian, Hugo,and Judith!

Yes, it is that time of year again for festive fundraisers and glitzy galas! Once September hits, women flock to the dress shops and high-end department stores, scouring the racks for flattering frocks, killer shoes and accessories to turn heads for the party season.

One particular event, we'll call it the 'Governor's Ball' is held yearly right after Halloween at a country club, 'The Grove'. This gala for us has been too much fun because the attire is glamorous and the energy is high! A hip crowd with a few too many martinis makes for one fun fete!

Some highlights of this year's event were my friend 'Eva' Bella's lovely Louboutins, Mo's Boss lace ups, my little bag from Judith, and Jennifer's (aka Elizabeth) gorgeous red strapless gown. Some are so stunning, it's blinding, and, uh, not in a good way.... a few elegant fashionistas were ready to contact the fashion authorities to send some 'Bratz Dolls' back to Toys'r'Us...Let's give them the benefit of the doubt....maybe they were still dressed up for Halloween.

My gown of choice was this flowing Marc Bouwer Glamit!, and despite the numerous people who stepped on my train, miraculously, it is still fully intact for the next function (in another city with another crowd, of course!).
