Collars for a Cause April 13th
For many years Houston has been dealing with the devastating effects of animal overpopulation. Each day, countless animals roam the streets, homeless, hungry and frightened or end up in shelters. In a seemingly endless cycle, many of these animals are euthanized because there are simply not enough homes.
Houston-based charity, the Spay Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP) has been working for more than 18 years to stop this cycle by providing free and low-cost sterilization services to the community, preventing the birth of unwanted animals and giving shelter and rescue animals a better chance at adoption.
Through their stationary Spay Neuter and Wellness Clinic and their one-of-a-kind mobile clinic SNAP provides free and low-cost options for anyone that wants to do the right thing for their companion animal, but may lack the funds.
SNAP would not be able to provide these valuable community resources without the help of the community through donations and participation in their fundraising events, like the Collars For A Cause® Celebration being held this Friday, April 13, 2012, 7-10 p.m. at Momentum Volvo (10150 SW Fwy)
The Collars for a Cause Celebration, presented by LIFE+DOG, Momentum Volvo and Pet Paradise Pet Resorts, is a fun and fabulous evening to share the company of fellow SNAP supporters and animal lovers while enjoying great music, fine food, refreshing drinks, exciting auctions, fun photo ops, and gleaming automobiles! The event not only features a silent auction full of amazing packages and items, it also kicks off the Collars for a Cause collar auction, an online auction of beautiful one-of-a-kind collars custom made by celebrities, designers, artists and dignitaries!
Attendees will have the opportunity to preview the online auction items up close and personal as well as bid on amazing silent auction items featuring some of the most unique and sought after animal products and goodies, as well as valuable sports memorabilia, boutique and restaurant certificates, animal resort packages, custom jewelry and much more!
Not able to attend? You can still join in on the fun! Head to the online auction at www.collarsforacause.org, which begins April 13th and runs through May 15. The site features one-of-a-kind collars created by designers, celebrities, artists, and other public figures who are passionate about making a difference for animals throughout the nation.
Joining us for 2012 are the inaugural Collars For A Cause designer ambassadors: artist Ron Burns, actress Margaret Cho, actress and singer Jordin Sparks, and designer Elaine Turner.
In addition, supporters will have a chance to bid on designs from omg!Yahoo’s Kristen Aldridge, Chrome Canine, Missy Johnson, Broadway stars Orfeh and Andy Karl, television personality Dina Manzo, Annise Parker, Denise Richards, Tori Spelling, and more!
**Event tickets are available for purchase at www.snapus.org
To preview this year’s collar designs visit the Collars for a Cause page on Facebook and visit www.snapus.org to learn more about SNAP and the services they provide.

Betty Audish Handbags
A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting the ridiculously talented Houston exotic handbag designer Betty Audish. Over a delish lunch at 51fifteen, I was drooling over candy colored bag after bag that she displayed on our itty bitty cafe table. Sure, the lunch was drool-worthy as well, but the quality, design, and style of these bags knocked my socks off. Throughout our lunch date, the handbags caught the eye of several other "ladies who lunch" in the restaurant who stopped by on there way out to ask "where in the world did you buy these gorgeous bags?" Seriously, these bags are just that stunning.
So what makes Betty Audish any different than your average handbag designer? Ladies and gents, these are the real deal. If you are looking for sumptuous exotic leathers in python, crocodile, lizard, stingray, eel, but with a high fashion edge..look no further. Unlike many exotic leather bag designers that seem to have a utilitarian feel, Betty's bags scream runway style.
Want to get your paws on one of these gorgeous bags and see for yourself? You can shop online at bettyaudish.com OR for you Htown locals, take a little trip over to Paula Fridkin Designs and Sassy Designs.
