I took my camera and a glamorous friend to the Glam Doll Strut in Fort Lauderdale for the excitement, - the color of the day - Pink.
As this was the first I heard of it, I arrived a little early as I didn't really know what to expect. This is an annual event I found out, and was celebrating it's 5th year. The motto of Glam-A-Thon is "Kiss Breast Cancer Goodbye". That seems like a very nice sendoff to a brutal disease.
This year the Glam Doll Strut had 1,000 participants and raised $150,000.00 to fight breast cancer. What do the participants do? They form teams to raise money for the cause then strut their stuff down the street and in front of celebrity judges. High heels being a perfectly acceptable form of footwear.
One of the best things about this event was the crowd. Whether they were part of a team of 2 or 50, or just a spectator like me, everyone was friendly and having a great time. Even with such a serious cause, it felt more like a big, pink street party.The highlight of my day was meeting celebrity judge Julie Durda, Channel 7 meteorologist. She comes into my home and office every morning. It was a thrill to just walk right up to her and say hi. Lynn Martinez, news anchor and host of Deco Drive, was there also. Not so easy to talk to as she was doing interviews and hosting the event pretty much the entire day.
I have quite a few event photos on my Flickr page. If you were participating, there is a good chance you might find yourself posted.
What a cute idea! Looks like it was a really fun event. Where is your pink outfit?! ;)
ReplyDeleteI was quite a standout in my NOT pink outfit. I didn't think this event would last the whole day so I did not lotion properly. Consequently my skin turned brighter shades of pink. When they have the March for Skin Cancer, I hope they do it in the evening.
ReplyDeleteThat tiny dog? Is all about the glam.
ReplyDeleteI'm from Palm Beach County I can attest to the fact that there is no shortage of colors, particularly these colors, in that area.

The sunburn was clearly the universe's way of telling you that pink was de rigueur!! Is that you in the bottom right pic??
ReplyDeleteLoving the pink - but are you up for sharing your Florida REDS with my readers??
@Megan - Yes - It was a dog, with blond braids
ReplyDelete@Elliot - Thanks for the follow. All the colors of the rainbow and then some.
@Red - Funny - That is one of our radio personalities. Now that you have laid down the challenge, as you always do, I will seek out some SF Reds and get back to you.
Well ... I can be forgiven for the non-recognition, I bet he doesn't make the headlines downunder! So what REDS have you got for me?? Jim sent me the pix and I developed questions around them, which he then answered! Too easy - for both of us!!
