Once Out Of “The Stall,” The Equest Fashion Show Ponied Up With A Sold-Out Success
It seems that Brook Hollow had made some changes to its two-lane entry. Now one lane was dedicated to “members only,” and the other was for guests. But having only one lane open for the Equest Women’s Auxiliary Luncheon and Fashion Show on Tuesday, October 4, caused a bit of an unexpected challenge.

A Jaguar Trapped In The Ritz Driveway Didn’t Hamper DSOL Presentation Ball Underwriters Dinner
While the Ritz Carlton porte-cochere can be a bit of a challenge for guests and valets, an unexpected “oop’s” really derailed the most patient on the evening of Thursday, January 27. It seems a guest driving a sleek Jaguar sedan had headed into the hotel with keys in pocket.

MySweetCharity Photo Gallery Alert!: 2020 And 2021 Crystal Charity Ball Newbies Reception
Noontime at Highland Park Village looked like a luxury car lot on a slow day. The vehicles were top-drawer, but they weren’t budging and finding a parking place was like searching for a contact lens in a shag rug. So the ladies of Crystal Charity Ball had two options in attending the new members get-together at Carolina Herrera — valet or take a workout on their stilettos after … [Read more...] about MySweetCharity Photo Gallery Alert!: 2020 And 2021 Crystal Charity Ball Newbies Reception
A Gentle Reminder: The Beginning Of Daylight Saving Time Approaches
