Runway Fashion Expert at the Temecula Reality Rally for Breast Cancer, 2011!

THANK YOU to my fellow CBS SURVIVOR Castaway, Gillian Larsen, for inviting me to be a part of this and help give my grain of sand to "Michelle's Place," a very special Breast Cancer Resource Center.  A few of us arrived the night before the event and gathered for dinner at the Pechanga Casino and Resort. Here I am w/fellow Reality Show gals:

  To the left, a quick intro to the "Fashion Challenge" that I was in charge of ,as the "Runway/Fashion Expert" guiding Rally tea(below)ms to put together outfits picked out for them, to be approved by me...and then, the challenge...workin' the Runway....and making sure I don't vote them off..LOL.  If they got Ms. Rita's seal of approval, then they had immunity in the Rally...LOL

Here I am with my "twin" Julie Berry..She has NO idea the pressure   I felt being compared to her!!  An accomplished SURVIVOR Castaway herself, she was also Jeff Probst's girlfriend of several years.  Below a shot of about 1/3 of the group that participated in the "Temecula Reality Rally."  If you're a Reality Show fan, you may recognize a few of the people in the photo. For example, sporting his signature bow-tie look, Mr. Bob Crowley, Winner of SURVIVOR Gabon. It took me awhile to place the man lying in front of everyone..besides being an "Amazing Race" participant w/his brother, Mark Munoz is the Jockey who rode the horse in the movie SECRETARIAT:)
