I'm going to be a runway model!

I just received the deadline for selling my 10 tickets to the fashion show that I'll be walking in as a Breast Cancer Survivor.  I haven't officially sold any tickets!  I know people want to go and I know how hard it is to fork out $100 right before Christmas for something that isn't happening for another 4 months.  

I mean, who knows where you'll be on March 24th, right? What about at the Board of Trade in New Orleans, celebrating your friends Triumphant Battle Against Breast Cancer! What about being with other friends and family at the Board of Trade in New Orleans celebrating your friends Two-Time-Triumphant Battle against Breast Cancer!!! 

Based on the smiles and excitement of the women who participated in the North Shore You Night event, this is  one amazing night. I'm so excited to be a part of it!

Tickets are $100 for a cocktail party from 5:30-10, including open bar, passed foods and desserts, raffle prizes and door prizes and a RUNWAY SHOW.  Corporate sponsorships are available also with packages ranging from $500-$20,000.

After December 4th the individual tickets go up to  $125. I'm trying to figure out away to purchase the tickets now and let you pay later so if you are interested please let me know ASAP. Or if you think your company would be interested in a sponsorship role let me know and I'll get you in touch with the right people.

I have my checkup with my Oncologist next week, a checkup with my Breast Surgeon the following week and my (hopefully) last surgery is December 4th.  They will be removing my port and doing some reconstruction to fix my left breast that was 'messed up' when I had the infection in July.  Please keep my in your thoughts and prayers.

You Night New Orleans 2015

As I’ve mentioned before, I will be walking the runway at the You Night New Orleans 2015 on March 24^th, 2015.  I am really excited about this opportunity!  The women who put this together have done a really great thing to empower cancer survivors. 

The event will be at the Board of Trade in downtown New Orleans.  It is a cocktail party with an open bar and passed food and desserts

You can order tickets through eventbrite but there is a processing fee.  If you order through me (by giving me a check for $100 this month) there is no processing fee.  There are also corporate sponsorship packages if you’re interested.

October In Review

Practicing my pose at the Windsor Court

 

Wow, October was a crazy month!  Lots of fun times with family and friends.  And now, 4 days into November I have a cold or sinus infection, or something and I think it’s a sign that I did too much. That’s ok, I wouldn’t change a thing!

 

To catch you up on a few of the events listed in my last post:
On October 2^nd I picked up a few copies of Inside New Orleans at the launch party at Saks 5^th Ave.  I’m even in a few pictures!

On October 16^th I attended the NOLA 2015 You Night New Orleans Launch Party at Fulton Square.  This event was to introduce the 2015 New Orleans models for the March 24^th, 2015 YOUNIGHT Fashion Show.  This event is going to be soooo cool!  We wear 3 outfits from local boutiques, get our hair and makeup done and have formal practices where we’ll become trained models.  I’ve been asked to sell 10 tickets (which is one table) for the event.  The tickets are $100 each, if ordered through me.  I’d love to sell more than 10 tickets and show New Orleans how a Pacific Northwest girl can rock this!!!  I’m going to do a separate post about this.

 On October 17^th I picked up my friend Danielle at the airport and we ran home to get all fancied up for the Pink Gala at the Windsor Court Hotel.  I walked the runway at this event also, dressed in an expensive BCBG outfit.

Dawn interviewed me for talkdatnola.com.  If you haven't watched the video yet you should!  My story is the 3rd story on Epsiode 3.

The local Race for the Cure was on October 25^th.  We were a little unorganized this year and I apologize to anyone looking for us at The Tree we meet at.  I couldn’t find it!  I promise to be more organized next year!

Today I am one month away from my (hopefully) final breast cancer related surgery.  Sometimes I forget that I had breast cancer.  For instance, when I fill out paper work and am asked about my health.  What do I say?  I guess it could give someone a good laugh if I say I’m in good health and then they find out the truth.  Or maybe I am in good health?  I don’t spend too much time thinking about this but sometimes I’m in shock of what I’ve gone through.

My Radiation Oncologist released me from his care although he assured me that he’s always available to me.  Besides, I have several other doctors I see on a regular basis so he’s confident I’m taking care of and doesn’t want to add another doctor appointment to my calendar.  This will be helpful when I go back to work!  My next appointment is with my Breast Surgeon on November 21^st when I expect to hear him say it is good to see me and he’ll see me again in 3 months.
