However, with all this glamor surrounding us, I sat down to start writing this blog, the TV on in the background and I look up to see yet more devastating images from Japan. From this I decided to put the Ottawa Fashion Week news aside for the day (we will be back over the weekend) and remind you of the way's that you can donate.
Here's a few helpful links:

Remember the old saying "every penny counts"? It really does. If you can donate a dollar just think how much that would be if everyone in Ottawa donated one dollar!
Bye for now,
