The Good Body Fashion Show

FEB 22, 2009 Sunday Time: 3:00

"I've worked hard for this body. I have a 3 year old daugther to prove it. But, finally I'm starting to snap back into a healthy lifestyle, and while my tummy may never be the same, I love how the folds of skin remind me of that amazing little girl I gave birth to... I have learned to love all my imperfections, and if I play my cards right, I'll be able to teach my daughter the same thing— love yourself for who you are, not your dress size."
Join other women for an afternoon of hors d’ouvres, cocktails and fashion! This is an event for every woman because you are beautiful and deserve to look and feel your best!
