Ever since the Stiletto Strut starting circling the Neiman Marcus Downtown block, it’s been a ladies-only affair of champagning, chatting and charity supporting. After all, how many fellas want to don nose-bleed-high heels and stroll the streets in rush hour traffic.
That’s what we thought, too. That is until this year. No, it’s not what you think. The fellas aren’t going to be wobbling around on heels, but they will be doing “their own thang” to help raise money for The Family Place, this year’s Stiletto Strut beneficiary, on Thursday, April 25.
Robert Weatherly is chairing the Loafer Lounge at The Joule. And true to its name, the gents will be loafing around the pool deck until the ladies take to the street. Then they will rise from chairs and cheers the gals from on high.
Afterwards, the boys will be joined by the girls for the Patron Party.
Both groups will have their own tailor-made raffles.
For the girls:
- $100 tickets have a chance to win
- Season of Shoe (a pair of shoes every season from NM Downtown)
