A Capacity Crowd Enjoys Sizzlin' Summer Fashion Show

Summer swimwear looks great at the Sizzlin' Summer Fashion Show
with lighting from Dallas Light and Sound.

An enthusiastic crowd filled all chairs and spilled into standing room only sections for the Sizzlin Summer Fashion Show, held Friday night July 20th. The Red Party Foundation pulled out all of the stops in producing the event, which was presented by Prestige Model Management and benefited Legacy Counseling. Held at the Ilume in the heart of Oaklawn, two half-block long runways ran poolside and were connected by a pair of pool bridges designed and installed by Dallas Light and Sound. The pool runway bridges provided VIP and photographer reserved sections at the ends of the pool with unobstructed views of the swimsuit and summer fabulous fashions.

Dallas Light and Sound provided lighting, a pair of pool bridge runways, red carpet entry, VIP cabanas and stylish brushed metal crowd control stanchions for the event. DLS Lighting Designer Craig Canant and our production team overcame afternoon rain and the summer heat to install a network of lighting truss towers that provided stunning lighting for the runways and pool bridges.

A photo gallery from the event is available on the Dallas Light and Sound facebook page at www.facebook.com/dallaslightandsound.

Quenched Water Thirst Fundraiser at Goss-Michael Foundation June 16th

On Saturday, June 16th The Goss-Michael Foundation will host the 2nd Annual Quenched Art Benefit to benefit Water-Thirst. The event will feature artistic masterworks from Christopher Martin, Geof Kern, Thom Jackson, Joshua King and Maxine Helfman. Aja Martin of the Nasher Sculpture Center curates the show which provides the artistic backdrop for the event.

 

Water-Thirst is a community of ordinary individuals who saw an extraordinary need. With over one billion people without access to clean water, any effort seems like merely a drop in the bucket. With today’s technology and a growing community of people who want to help, they are finding innovative ways to meet people’s needs. It’s the charity’s goal to work within a community to find the most beneficial solution that will serve the most people. The methods they use vary from digging wells and building water lines, to using rain catch and filtration systems.

 

Water-Thirst is proud to have been a part of the on going solution to the global water crisis over the last year. On June 16th, Dallas will once again put its beauty and creativity to work. Don't miss your opportunity to take home some amazing art and to benefit those who live without clean water.
 

Please join the event organizers, Honorary Chair Karla McKinley, and the event underwriters for an evening of drinks and hors d’oeuvres with some of the world’s most celebrated artists. Dallas Light and Sound will supply lighting, audio and video projection for the event.

 

The Goss-Michael Foundation is located at 1405 Turtle Creek Blvd. Dallas, TX 75207 - Ph. 214-696-0555.
