A Wave of Inspiration Rips Through City Hall at DFW

Denver Fashion Weekend: NIGHT ONE: Saturday // November 9 // 8 PM // City Hall AmphitheaterDFW-night-two-290x290

Denver Fashion Weekend. Oh yes, it is a weekend that all of us fashionable Denverlites look forward to all year.  I was particularly excited for this event after getting a sneak peak into 303 Magazine’s DFW Fall Print Issue that had a Lady Gaga-esque appeal.  For me, an overly dramatic editorial photo is the epitome of LUXE – so from that picture on, I was impatiently waiting to see what 303 Magazine had in store for us eager attendees.

We arrived around 8 PM knowing that fashion shows typically start fashionably late. Both the VIP and General Admission Line ran down the entire street, making me thankful that my outfit choice was spot on for the situation – a warm faux fur vest, paired with leather pants and closed toe stilettos.

Once we arrived inside City Hall Amphitheater we snapped a few pictures at the 303 Magazine Photo Booth, grabbed a couple cocktails, mingled with Denver’s fashion elite, and then made our way to our prime seats in the overly packed venue.  The fashion show didn’t start until after 10:00 pm due to the … Read more!

A Seriously Sexy Soiree

CondomCoutureInvitation-HR-1024x658Friday, November 8th marked the 40th Anniversary for the Boulder Valley Women’s Health Center. It also marked the day that I did something I never could have guessed I would do: attend and help produce a Condom Couture Fashion Show.

Condom Couture was held at the Boulder Theater and was completely unique from any other fashion show that I have attended in that it featured designs entirely made out of condoms. Yes, I said it: condoms. All fashions were the unique creations of local artists, activists, fashion designers and fashionistas, designed to help promote safe sex and sex positivity.

I worked closely with Brandi Shigley, Justice Kwesi Kwarteng, and Carlos Estrada from the Global DJ Academy to finalize the music, prep the models and ultimately help produce one of the sexiest and most distinctive fashion shows I have ever been to.

The event began with a 40th Anniversary Video Presentation, followed by a live auction with Don Martin.  The live auction items included a Cabo Getaway, a Breckenridge or Beaver Creek Condo Stay, a couple’s night out in Downtown Boulder, a private helicopter ride, a hot balloon ride and many more seriously awesome items!
