Rehearsing the Austin Style Maker Awards
In just over 24 hours, the public will know the winner of the vice-presidential debate, also the winners of the Austin Style Maker Awards. The “Glossy 8” will be revealed during a 6:30 p.m. party at Neiman Marcus. As Melanie Spencer says: “TiVo the debate. Attend the Glossy 8.”
For Neiman Marcus: Lisa Trahan, Bethany Thomason, Nancy Nichols
To prep for the party, which will introduce the eight — nine actually, since one unit is a couple — the three main forces behind the event met. That would be representatives from the American-Statesman features editorial staff, the newspaper’s marketing department and the department store’s staff.
For Statesman Marketing Department: Phyllis Campos, Beth South, Krystal Halfmann, Retta Kelley
A guests mingle in the men’s wear department, Retta Kelley will introduce the idea behind the awards — the money benefits the Season for Caring program — and then the individual presenters, among them Spencer, Addie Broyles, Marques Harper and myself. The winners will be accompanied by models wearing NM clothes chosen by the honorees.
For Statesman Features Department: Kathy Blackwell, Melanie Spencer, Marques Harper, Addie Broyles
Then the party really begins. Mingling ensues. The band plays on. And we head home to see whether Sarah Palin or Joe Biden made a bigger fool of themselves.
