Take to the Catwalk

Last night saw the latest launch and preview of the hugely successful Blossom Hill Catwalks event in the cavernous Odeon bar on Harcourt Street. Now in it's 6th season, the Catwalks roadshow has been going from strength to strength, with the support of Blossom Hill wines.

The nominated charity of the event is the Marie Keating Foundation, which campaigns for cancer research and support. Singer Ronan Keating originally set up the charity in memory of his late mother, and it is now run by his sister Linda, who delivered a sincere thank you to Catwalks organisers Greg Canty and Deirdre Waldron.

At last nights launch I spied Alan Hughes and Debbie O'Donnel from TV3, socialite Dr. Robin O'Reilly and her boyfriend Ziggy, Paul Trainer and Eoin Higgins of The Dubliner magazine. Clare Feely of Kennedy PR and Roisín Tierney - Crowe of Paul Allen were also enjoying the fashion show, as were model agency boss Trish Fallon and stylist Cathy O'Connor. Fashion designer Synan O'Mahony was also there, no doubt admiring his own amazing creations on the catwalk.

The first Catwalks event kicks off on May 12th in Mullingar followed by Dundalk on the 13th and Dublin on the 17th. For the full itinerary go to www.catwalks.ie.

By the way, did you know that over 25,000 glasses of Blossom Hill are consumed ever hour? I'd say last night's shindig contributed a great deal to that figure.


Question of the night: Which party person is back on the snow patrol? After previously attending rehab the socialite has fallen off the wagon once again and has returned to telling lies and acting like a diva.
