These pictures (courtesy of Kevin Backs) are from a recent show I worked on; Runway Project Ottawa.

It was a fashion show, designer competition, gourmet four-course meal with Yellowtail wines, and silent auction, all in support of The Children's Wish Foundation at Lago Bar & Grill. Of course, I was backstage and didn't get to taste the meal, which i heard was amazing.

It took place on a rainy Sunday evening, March 29th, 2009. ALL PROCEEDS went to the Ottawa branch of The Children's Wish Foundation, a charity which grants wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses.

Derick and TL from Rogers "Daytime Ottawa" hosted the event, Texture Hair Salon
did the hair, who are the same people that worked on Project Runway Canada, and the Makeup was supplied by Christian Dior, led by Thierry Papineau.

This event was possible thanks to the Runway Project Ottawa Event Coordinator Team:
Tara Lynn LeSage, Mary Knight, Rebecca Hart, Tracie Geller and Karen Swain

The winner of the designer competition was the lovely Aida Flores with her magnificent gowns. Congratulations to all participants and thanks to all those that made it happen.
