Meet Carson Kressley at Fashion Funds a Cure Thursday
Did you guys ever watch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy? Geez, I was kind of obsessed with that show. I know Carson Kressley has moved on to other things, but I'll never forget how those guys stampeded into dude's homes and cut their tragic hair and pulled their smelly couches into the dump heaps outside. Sigh. I miss the good old days.
Anyway, Carson will be in Tampa Thursday hosting Fashion Funds the Cure at Neiman Marcus at International Plaza. The annual fashion fundraiser features a runway show with young models who are currently battling, or have battled, cancer. You'll get fine wines, food from area restaurants, private shopping, plus a live and silent auction. Tickets are $100 each.
Call (813) 877-5700 or visit fastercure.org/FFTCTampa2011.htm. And for the love of Pete, if you meet Carson Kressley, send us your picture with him!

Katie Sanders foolishly spurned pretty dresses and shoes as a child, tossing new clothes over her shoulder at birthday parties with a totally rude "no, thank you." Her drab days of monocolor outfits are over now, and she certainly knows better than to turn down free stuff. Her wardrobe mixes classic with quirk. Think blazers with statement necklaces, and lots of patterned ballet flats. She can be reached at 850) 224-7263 or 
Kameel Stanley has never encountered a thrift store she didn’t like. Her mother taught her that the true value of clothes isn’t how much they cost, but how many outfits one can create from them. Having grown up in Michigan, she was delighted to learn upon moving to Florida that she almost never needed to wear socks or boots again. There’s a lot of turnover in her closet, and she’s obsessed with dresses, necklaces and wedge heels. She can be reached at (727) 893-8643 or 
A disciple of the little black dress classics school, Letitia Stein stretches her budget by looking for styles with staying power. She lives for 80 percent off shoes at DSW, floral sundresses and bohemian chic tops. She confesses to being a bit of a snob when it comes to handbags and jewelry. She can be reached at (813) 226-3400 or 
From camo pants and construction boots to sundresses, sweaters and sling backs, Keyonna Summers knows how to make all of it rock -- at rock bottom prices. A Detroit native, Keyonna delves into her urban roots to find fashion pairings that give a nod to street fashion while maintaining the class of the modern, professional woman. She believes in searching for affordable clothes that look expensive and can easily be dressed up or down. You won't find plaid shirts or fleece jackets in her closet; the only hiking Keyonna does is to the bargain basement. She can be reached at (727) 445-4153 or
