A Passing: Jocelyn White

Apr 18, 2021 7:09 PM by Jeanne Prejean

There are people who just walk into a room and hardly anyone notices the new arrival. Then there are people who light up the room just standing in the doorway. Jocelyn White was the poster child for the latter group. It wasn’t the smile that shone like the ivories of a Steinway baby grand, the laughing brown eyes or even the hour-glass figure. It was the whole package … [Read more...] about A Passing: Jocelyn White

MySweetWishList: Paws In The City

Dec 4, 2015 9:30 AM by Jeanne Prejean

According to Paws In The City volunteer Brooke Van Poppelen, “More than 7,300 shelter animals are euthanized each day of the year in the U.S. because they are sick, injured or a shelter simply doesn't have space for them. These are pets that still have a lot of life and love in them if someone would only give them a fighting chance. “As a volunteer for Paws in the … [Read more...] about MySweetWishList: Paws In The City

TV’s B*tch Of The 80’s Morgan Fairchild And Faux Elvis Raised The Paddles And Dancing At Top Hat And Tails

Jun 22, 2015 1:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

From first signs, Paws in the City’s Top Hat and Tails looked like it had turned tables on itself. It had built its reputation on having local celebs and corporate reps take to the dance floor with Arthur Murray professionals in a dance-off, like “Dancing With The Stars.” Why, they even managed to get outfits that had been worn on the ABC-TV show. Last year the group decided … [Read more...] about TV’s B*tch Of The 80’s Morgan Fairchild And Faux Elvis Raised The Paddles And Dancing At Top Hat And Tails

Morgan Fairchild To Be Honorary Chair For Paws In The City’s “Top Hat & Tails”

May 20, 2015 3:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Back in the 1960’s Patsy Ann McClenny was typical of most Dallas gals. She wanted to be part of Ron Chapman’s Sump‘n Else’s “The Little Group” that included Joanie Prather, Delpha Teague, Colleen Anderegg and Kathy Forney. But despite repeated auditions, she just didn't make the cut. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDn_WBhutjc Now, most teenagers would have sulked, gone … [Read more...] about Morgan Fairchild To Be Honorary Chair For Paws In The City’s “Top Hat & Tails”

Despite August’s promise of being a ho-hum month in preparation of the upcoming slam-bang fundraising season, Sunday, August 3, proved otherwise. From 11-4 Eddie Deen’s was the ultimate dog park. In addition to the air conditioned surroundings, the place was jamming with pooches all dressed up and their two-legged escorts to raise money for Paws in the City at Howlin’ … [Read more...] about Eddie Deen’s Was Filled With Party Animals With Howling Success For Paws In The City

Apr 30, 2014 3:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

With temperatures in the 60’s it’s hard to imagine July with its sweltering heat. But maybe that thought of summer baking was the impetus for the Paws in the City organizers to up and move its annual Top Hat & Tails to April. Event Chair Tina Fairbanks admitted that in making the move, there was a slight oops! They discovered a Saturday in April that appeared totally … [Read more...] about Paws In The City’s Top Hat & Tails Moved Its Dancing Ways To April

Mar 25, 2014 1:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Paws in the City made a change last year. Instead of local celebrities dancing in the Top Hat & Tails fundraiser, they opted to have sponsored volunteers. Word just arrived that they’ve re-examined their event and have made some more changes for this year’s dance-athon. First, they’re not going to hold it in June. That’s a very big deal. Why? Because it had become … [Read more...] about JUST IN: Top Hat & Tails Moves To April And Returns To Celebrity Dancers
