Fashion show at Mar A Lago for Carlos Alberto and United Way

Hello bloggers…

Today I bring you some images from an extraordinary event I was part of last week.  It was a fundraiser for The United Way held at Mar A Lago in Palm Beach Florida.  The event featured famed Puerto Rican designer Carlos Alberto (gown designer for Miss USA and Miss Universe) and jewelry designer George Wittles, represented by La Casa Hermosa in Palm Beach, and sponsored by Seacoast National Bank.  Event decor was by Jose Graterol Designs, the event was produced by Lauren Malis from Without A Hitch Events.  Photography by Alain Martinez Photography.

Here are some of my favorite images.

  11. Miss USA is a sexy girl, and there is not doubt she has fantastic booty. She may not be the brightest girl around but with all the body who cares.

    Why we choose MBT? Because MBT is completely different with many other shoes. MBT is very particular, it has a positive on the entire body, not just the feet. MBT shoes actives muscle tissue instead of undermining all of them. It is unstable, not stable. The only is curved, not flat.
