Mondays aren’t exactly the most popular day of the week, except when it begins with a photo shoot involving a handsome dog, a hot nude model and a few glasses of champagne. All in the name of doing good!
Kevin Bryant, the Executive Director of Pets Are Loving Support(PALS) and I co-chair Rubbing Noses, a long standing signature event for the organization. This year’s event, which will be held on Sunday, September 26 at the Lambert Place, will feature a silent auction, a live auction with 11Alive’s Evelyn Mims, a menswear fashion show like no other, sponsored by the Boy Next Door and free-flowing cocktails.
The talented Richie Arpino, once again, did the photography for this year’s show promo.
For Braxton, the 2010 PALS Spokespet, this was his first professional photo shoot and he handled himself like a pro. Of course, his dads and his doggie treats were nearby. Thats Paul Santora and John Flynn taking good care of their boy. John, Paul and their friends, fought hard (fundraised) for Braxton to win the title of PALS Spokespet at the PALS Pet Cotillion this past May.
Atlanta based model/actor/hottie Adam Gates gave us the better part of his day (and body) for the shoot.
You can take the stylist out of the salon but you can’t take the stylist out of the man. Richie’s an all service photographer. He’s very professional and a total perfectionist. Everything has to be right. See more of Richie: www.arpinosalon.com
The sensational Kitsy Rose of Kitsy Rose PR and PALS supporter stopped by to say hello. Remember Kisty from Doggies on the Catwalk…
Thats Kevin Bryant, the Executive Director of PALS, in the background. He’s making sure all is going well.
At this moment, Richie is getting the light balance accurate and Braxton just couldn’t be bothered.
Test Shot. Adam and Braxton get “direction” from Richie. Do you see Richie’s hand on the left, pointing. He’s good!
Braxton loves on Adam.
Braxton needed just a little more direction from dad.
Richie and I love on Adam & Braxton.
The real star of the day, Braxton, for Pets Are Loving Support.
Look for the finished artwork late next month. I hope to see you at Rubbing Noses on September 26 at Lambert Place — $20 donation gets you: open bar, live & silent auctions, catering, sizzling hot fashion show and cute doggies. Pretty fabulous!
* Thank you Richie, Adam, John, Paul & Braxton for giving your time, love and support to PALS!
