The Paper Catwalk & A Visit From SweetP

There's nothing more that I like than being with creative people. Whether it's writers, fashion designers, or my Sunday dinners with an architect and his family, I know I'll have a good time.


At the 17th Santa Monica Festival, the emphasis was on a "greener, healthier, more sustainable lifestyle" by showcasing eco-friendly technologies, goods, and activies. The goal of the festival was zero waste --everything was to be recycled. Children and adults alike took to the catwalk dressed in fashions made on-the-spot from newspaper, blueprints and colored papers. Helped by Tawny Featherston, and Ann Closs-Farley, the event was emceed by the creative Howard Seth Cohen. A visit from SweetP Vaughn of Project Runway closed the day. Petite and every bit as nice as her name, Sweet P is enjoying many opportunities made possible by appearing on the reality TV show. SweetP is designing costumes for a play. She also continues to design clothes, and has a financial backer for a future line. Everyone who met her was genuinely pleased to hear good things have come her way. (Watch the remix for a photo of Sweet P).
P.S. To Howie & Tawny, Sorry your digs are being turned from residential to comercial. Hope you two find a new place soon. But check this out: I think if the dude is going to do this he has to pay you money in your pocket to leave. Not sure, but that's the rumor. Have the legal beagles look into it.
