On Wednesday, June 18, Marjorie and I attended the event of the year (who cares about a Rose Festival anyway...). We had a birdseye view of the celebrities exit their stretch limos and make an entrance on the Red Turf Carpet at the Hotel Monaco.
(Hotel Careyfornia eat your heart out!)
Portland's Next Top Dog Model event was THE see and be seen spot in town. Complete with CosmoMuttini's, we admired the contestants, brushed shirt sleeves with the celebrity judges and enjoyed the evening. 
We sampled exotic cheeses, vegetables and chocolates. (All contestants are Rescue Dogs http://www.oregonhumane.org/dogs/index.asp.)
