Once again we had another fabulous
event! I was under the weather for
several weeks, despite this we were able
to pull off a great event!
I want to thank both of my designers:
Beverly Olivecce (originally from
London) and her brother, Valda Rainy
(originally from Latvia) and her
boyfriend Bruce Popolizio and Models
Gaby Hass & Nicole Cornetti for helping
me to coordinate things so we could have
these shows. I was busy working and
managing things needed on the phone for
this event. The show must go on... we
had many guests flying in from different
parts of the world, so we had to push
on.
I was still weak and dizzy from being
ill, but ploughed ahead and attended the
venue. Everyone worked so very hard to
put on this event including our models
and sponsors, our make-up artists
beginning with
Alexander De John and hair dressers from
Hairbyblack.
Everyone truly did their tremendous best
to help out, and so we thank you all.
You know who you are...We usually do
this in the end. But since everyone
helped out - it is my duty to sincerely
thank you all for the supportive help
given that night.
Thank you to Mr. Kwan Kim and Mr. James
Kim of KAGGNY Headquarters FOR letting
us use their headquarters for our event.
Our guests had a good time.

suits.
