Just another day/week/year in SoCo. The Catwalk for a Cure is a raucous but sobering lunch soiree, a fundraiser in the fight against Breast Cancer. The event, in it’s ninth year, makes for good photographs. Anyone here not been affected directly or indirectly by Breast Cancer? I didn’t think so.
Part luncheon, part fashion show, amateur models took to the catwalk to raise funds for the research of Breast Cancer. The fashions are from Sonoma County clothiers. (Kent Porter / Press Democrat) 2011
