Escada Fashion at Neiman Marcus for Opera Medallists' Luncheon

 

Neiman Marcus in Fashion Valley hosted a very chic fashion luncheon March 2nd. San Diego Opera Medallists, aka big, big opera supporters, were invited to the second floor salon to preview the latest Escada collection. Guests enjoyed a Mosaic catered lunch of grilled salmon and a chocolate themed dessert.... and a whole lot of 'girl talk!'

Among those there were Barbara Bloom, Jeanne Jones, Joan Jacobs, Iris Strauss in Escada Couture, Sheryl White, Karen Cohn, Lynda Kerr wearing stellar Dior stilettos, Ruth Leonardi, Jennifer Greenfield, and Tammy Alter.

Tammy took a small time out in her schedule to make this luncheon. She has been so busy planning the March 23rd event honoring her sister Stefanie Strauss who passed away due to ovarian cancer. (See details under upcoming events.)

And Tammy will have a lot of support for her event. The Opera gals are a closely knit group who with smarts and a tremendous amount of dedication. They make things happen.

Happening too is the San Diego Opera. They started with rave reviews for its 2009 season opening of Tosca.... and it has not hit a wrong note since!

Speaking of, the Opera is in mid-season. To learn more about the San Diego Opera season and its special events, Please visit www.sdopera.com

.............

Fyi, the definition of 'girl talk' in a store like Neiman Marcus equates to shopping!

 

Please enjoy the photos!

Have a great week!

 

The Buzz

Free, Free, Free to a good home!!!

Do you know of a good home for one of these Georgia pawfect beauties....

There are 7 pure-bred female Samoyeds who need a "forever home" because their owner/breeder, Cathy Pendleton, is losing her battle with breast cancer. She can no longer care for her dogs and has been moved to Hospice after being in the hospital for a week.

All the owner/breeder wants is for all of these girls to get good homes. Currently, they are not wanting to place any of the dogs in foster care because they are trying to move the dogs only once. My understanding is that the older animals have been spayed. Because she is a breeder, the younger dogs are not spayed; however the new family would need to have the dog spayed if she is less than seven years. (The dogs range in age from 1.5 years to more senior dogs.)
All are healthy and well cared for, up to date on shots, heartworm, flea treatment, etc. The new "forever" home will need to have a fenced yard with sufficient space for an active dog.
If you think you might be interested after reading Velvet's email (below), her contact info is v.a.simmons@att.net.
