As far as charity
events go, Fiber Hair Spa knows how to do it right.
On a rainy Friday night, I attended a benefit for
the Breast Cancer Research Foundation which featured
models, hors d'oeuvres, wine, and a new cocktail
with a glowing bottle, and no, it glowed before
I drank from it.
Fashion designer
Zulema Griffin (yes, of Project Runway
fame) lent pieces from her beautiful collection
for even more beautiful models to strut around in
whilst I snacked on finger food and wine and watched
as gracious attendees admired Siman Tu's jewelery
and sipped on a neon green cocktail. Wait, what?
That's right- cocktails provided courtesy of Ty-Ku,
a new "healthy" sake. What started out
as a started as a grad-school business project at
Columbia University, this beverage is a beneficial
infusion of Asian pears, pomegranates, herbs, ginseng,
and damania, which is good because you will need
all the help you can get when you mix it with vodka
and fall down a flight of stairs. Gladly, the latter
did not happen, and to be fair, the drink was quite
tasty.
Orlando New York's
furs were also a huge hit of the party, and those
who wanted to could get complimentary make-overs
or bid on items in the silent auction. I'm glad
to see that so much of the fashion community gives
back to causes like this, and my hat goes off to
the Fiber Hair Spa for orchestrating such a fun
and well organized event. Even if I did leave with
the wrong umbrella.
