7th Annual Pimp & Ho Party for PAWS: Selective Service

Saturday night was Dana Spain's annual Pimp and Ho party to raise money for PAWS, an organization she founded to assist our furry friends (PAWS is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to saving Philadelphia’s homeless, abandoned, and unwanted animals. PAWS is the city's largest no-kill shelter and operates a high-volume, low-cost clinic serving pet owners and rescue organizations that lack access to affordable basic veterinary care. Through its adoption locations, special events, and foster care network, PAWS finds loving homes for thousands of animals each year. PAWS is working to make Philadelphia a place where every healthy and treatable pet is guaranteed a home.)

We also gathered to wish Captain Eric Cahill good will on his mission as he is shipping out on a top secret mission on Saturday.  (the theme of the night was military dress.)

The evening was really more service oriented and charity minded with everyone looking dashing Carol Drumstas, Brown Forman, Steve Rockman, Teresa Nino, Merril Lynch and Christie Honigman, The Honigman Group.

Mom Joan Spain and Renee Freeman co founder of Donors are Heroes bringing awareness to donor donation brought their hoses and their husbands.

Steve Thorne, Lauren and John Colabelli, Philly Style Magazine and Sabrina Tamburino-Thorne (I have a feeling those outfits might be part of their arsenal)

City Hall's Holly Maher Gross and Philadelphia Daily News Gossip god Dan Gross

There was food by Brûlée Catering, delicious and pretty

Dance, dance, dance, dance - so much fun for a good cause.

9/11/12 Sunset From the Cira Center

I never saw or photographed the City from the Cira Center. WOW what a view. I was shooting an event for my client, United Way. I tried not to get to distracted, but was able to get a few shots in.
 
This was my favorite. Looks much better when it's not resized.
