Behind the Scenes: Uniting the Gateway for the United Way of the Tonawandas Fashion Show

Posted by: Julie Ann - Sat, 25 Feb 2012   Bookmark and Share

Cats Like Us is always up to support a cause we believe in and this one is right in our backyard. We were involved in a fashion show a few weeks ago where the proceeds went to support the United Way of the Tonawandas and it was held at the historic Riviera Theater. Pretty swanky.

If you are local and have never been to the Riviera Theater, go. It is beautiful. This is what it looks like on the inside. It was built in 1926 and patterned in an Italian Renaissance style. More information on the Riviera can be found here http://www.rivieratheatre.org/.

 

 

Tons of people braved the cold weather and the fashion show had what looked like a full house!

 

Getting ready for the fashion show was chaos, but my models are professional as well as beautiful. They rehearsed and prepared…

 

The music from The Mighty Wurlitzer before the fashion show made the anticipation even more exciting.

 

Here’s a picture of Amy working the crowd.

Oh and here’s a little video of Amy, Kelvis and Adah on stage doing their thing!

 

 

If you like stylish sailors, you’ll LOVE cutie Theresa Joe our other Cats Like Us model in this video!

 

Here are my models along with some information on their outfits…

I’m so proud to have such wonderful people representing Cats Like Us. Also I’d like to give a special thank you to Guy William Gane III for providing moral support, sweet talking everyone and taking pictures and video. Thanks to Deena for capturing Amy’s personality on the stage too.

 

Stay fashionable,

~Julie Ann

  1. Without a doubt Cats Like Us created a vibe at the show that was unparalleled. You, Andrew and the girls made it worth going out on a school night and braving the frozen tundra.
