All For A Good Cause

The Blonde and The Brunette were out together last night to support our dear friends Linell and Robert Shapiro and their very important cause.  The Brent Shapiro Foundation – founded after the loss of their son Brent who had battled with addictions most of his life – to fight the stigma of addictions through education, and help parents communicate with their children on addiction issues.

Their third annual star-studded event emceed by Larry King,  showcased their “It Takes A Friend to Save A Friend” campaign and introduced their new SOMO (Sober Monkey) Educational Program for Kids.  Held on one of the most beautiful estates in Beverly Hills, the evening featured a live auction hosted by Bob with items such as tickets to American Idol, a  trip to Vegas on a private jet and accommodations at the Bellagio, to an amazing Montage get-away.

This was topped by a Barraci Fashion Show (one of Linell’s favorite evening and wedding gown designers) who also donated a custom-made gown for the auction! Models walked past over 800 guests down a very, very long runway which was constructed over one of the longest pools we’ve ever seen. And to honor Linell’s black and white fashion theme, one of us wore a  white and black, floral sequined Stella McCarty.
