Last night's RAGS Wearable Art Sale and Gala at was the scene of much art. Most of this art was carried around on moving canvasses, bodies showing off last years’ purchases or modeling items for sale this year.
The wine flowed freely, loosening purse strings (present company included) while the jazz music from the trio of musicians known as the Kareem Kandi Band added to the ambience of the evening.
The diverse crowd of people wandered around the completely altered Mercedes Benz of Tacoma, oohing, ahhhing, sipping, and buying.
For myself, I blew my paycheck on one of Maureen-Galloegos’ embellished handbags, a couple of pairs of Diane Vermalen’s felted wool ballerina slippers (I love them so much I slept in them!) a Lisa Kinoshita leather necklace, a button bracelet from Theresa Owens and chandelier earrings and a matching fabulous multiple strand pearl bracelet by Jessica Alexander. Seeing Britt Simone and Marty from Vinosus (and planning future purchases) was good fun, as was running into family friends from long ago. There’s nothing quite so satisfying as having your childhood best friend’s father grabbing you wine and dropping f-bombs.
Ahhh, sweet adulthood.
Also satisfying: knowing the large wad of dough I dropped was going to a worthy cause, the YWCA’s domestic violence programs.
You too can get some cool stuff for a worthy cause through Sunday, at the Mercedes Benz of Tacoma. â€" Jessica Corey-Butler
