Bra-ha-ha @ Chesapeake Conference Center TONIGHT!

It's that time of year again! The Bra-ha-ha Award Show, Auction & Gala is tonight at the Chesapeake Convention Center near Greenbrier Mall.  This annual event benefits breast-cancer research and prevention.  Each year this event continues to grow; with more and more participants entering custom designed bras which tell their story and support a beautiful wonderful cause. 

In the year past, I had the pleasure of submitting a feature designer bra, meet Guido owner of Costabella and enjoy a night of fun festivities at MacArthur Center in Norfolk Virginia.  In honor of breast cancer awareness, this October Costabella will donate 10% of it's sales from shop.cosabella.com "Prettie in Pink" collection to the Bra-ha-ha organization.

The cause alone brings out the best in everyone, as high numbers in attendance will attest.  The event will be held tonight from 7 PM to 10 PM and tickets are still available for purchase just visit their website.  During the event tonight you can anticipate heavy hors d'oeuvres, drinks, live music and a silent, electronic auction and let's not forget the amazing goodie bags which will include a coupon to my online boutique!

As a result of this organization and its mission being so dear to me, I have submitted another bra but in collaboration with Poshe Boutique in MacArthur Mall.  The bra is titled "Nestled in the Hope" and is dedicated to my Aunt Eloise who put up a strong fight against breast cancer but could not fight any longer on 8/25/11.

Below are two phots of a hand-crafted ML necklace that I donated to the Bra-ha-ha silent auction for this evening.  This bib necklace is made from genuine leather in dark brown over vintage gold cording with moderately sized closure hook and removable brooches for optimal versatility.  (retail value $165).

     

This is an amazing event so put on your cocktail attire and come on out to support!  Don't know what to wear for such an occassion?  I will be sharing pictures tomorrow of what is best to wear for such a social, evening occassion.

Watch a video to learn more! 

Also, this event is organized by the Marketing Dept of the Chesapeake Regional Medical Center.

for the love of fashion,
