Happy Monday everybody! Hope everyone had a great weekend, as there was sooo much to do around town. So much so that I couldn’t even make it out to everything I was planning to. I didn’t get much sleep, but it wasn’t missed as I got to participate in some awesome events and met some great people.

Saturday, I got the honor of hosting the “Do Good, Do Hair” Benefit Fashion Show, presented by Mark Pardo Salon/Spa and the Aveda Institute of New Mexico. It was a spectacular show, showcasing the artistic abilities of stylists all around down. There were 6 different themes accompanied by models with themed hair and costumes. All created by the Mark Pardo & Aveda Institute stylists.

Here is one of the models, who is so gold that it appears that shes balancing on one leg. All the themes were extremely creative, ranging from Fairies Goddesses all the way to Cleopatra in Ancient Egypt. There was a packed crowd, the models looked great, and best of all… the event raised a significant amount of money that is all going to help the Carrie Tingley Hospital Foundation. It was Fashion for a CAUSE!

Sunday, I went out to the Doggie Dash & Dawdle at Balloon Fiesta Park. It was like a dog theme park out there, with hundreds of dogs, all different breeds, colors, and sizes.

The Animal Human Society puts this event on every year, and it is one of the most raved about events in Albuquerque. KRQE was one of the sponsors for the event, so I got to go out and take some pictures and give out some W8T 2 TXT bands. It was a beautiful day to be outside, and hundreds if not thousands of people showed up to have fun with their furry friends.

One of the events I sadly missed this weekend was the Dia de los Muertos Marigold Parade in the South Valley on Sunday. A huge New Mexico tradition, many people look forward to the day to celebrate the lives of their passed loved ones. I hope all that attended really enjoyed themselves. Im definitely not going to miss that one again.

Today started out pretty chili, as I stepped out into40 degree weather on my way to work. But as the sun came over the Sandias, its ended up being a refreshing day with the perfect balance of a cool breeze and warm sun. I thought it was a perfect day to walk around outside and see what people are doing. I decided to spend some of my day in the beautiful and historic, Old Town.  I thought it would be cool to just wander the narrow streets of Old Town and really just experience it without any destination, you know, just take it in. And thats what I did, and my…was I shocked to what I would find. I captured lots of images too! Check them out.

This was an entry way to one of the alleys near The Plaza. As you can see, it was beautifully decorated with hanging red chile.

Now, a little closer view of one of New Mexico’s staples.

And then I saw this. I felt like I had a flashback into the 50′s. This car was in such pristine condition that I had to take a picture of  it. And on a day like today, there would be nothing like taking a joy ride in this with the top down.

This is just a LITTLE  glimpse into some of the great moments I captured today. Lookout next week for the photo gallery with all the pictures I took today.

Until then, have a good weekend everybody! If your looking for something to do this weekend, the 2 KASA FOX calendar is a great source to find all the things going 0n around town. Click here to see it.
