MACY's Go Red for Women Fashion Show



Walking the runway for Macy's Go Red for Women Fashion Show. (INC Fashions)

With the Store Manager for MACY's






Heart month was busy but so much fun. I was honored to be asked to be a part of the Macy's Go Red for Women fashion show as a survivor. It started with a fitting about a week prior and what girl does not love to have a wardrobe pulled for her! This, of course, included the signature " red dress" and mine was by Alfani. My favorite though was my heart shirt and skirt from INC. I have always loved that brand and it just works for me. I arrived early and ready to have my makeup done. Chanel make artist did the makeup for the event. So my makeup was done complete with a REALLY red lip. I joined the others as we waited. This meant I joined a bunch of "real" models whom were all under 20, rail thin and six feet tall. I assured them they we in the right place when they joined me and that I was one of 4 survivors in the show. I love youth,I miss youth but geez get a poker face when you are wondering why someone is in the room who you think is not like the others! :) Next, my six inch shoes hit the runway and I suddenly felt like Carrie from "Sex in the City". I gave it my best "Ms Jay" walk and survived without being fashion road kill.

Heart Disease survivors

The day was amazing and such a celebration of life and education on women and heart disease. Heart disease is the number one killer of Women in America and very silent. Educate and learn more. The life you save one day may be your own. http://www.goredforwomen.org/

Off to work on my model figure. Ok so I may never get it but I can choose to be the model of health!
