Last week Commonwealth Proper had a cocktail party at the Union League hosted by Rhonda Clark Carlson; Dana Spain to showcase fall / winter fabrics and styles. CMMP produces custom suits and shirts as well as gentlemanly accessories including ties, pocket squares and wallets

Eric Cahill and Andrew Kennedy, Financial Advisor at PAX Partners of Raymond James. They love the custom made suits from the Philly based shop which is located at 18th and Spruce (commonwealthproper.com).

Jessy Kyle is a Philadelphia based jazz/soul singer, songwriter, and pianist entertained the guests.

Jon Dorenbos does a little retail therapy for a change, as wife Julie looks on. Look for big news from Skin Palette in the coming weeks. Nothing like a nice healthy spray on tan to beat the upcoming SAD. John likes Commonwealth’s quality, and that everything is made by hand, and in the United States.

ABOUT THE PHILLIES BALLGIRLS PRESENTED BY MACY’S

Each
year, the Phillies Ballgirls make over 150 off-field appearances
including TV and radio as well as school visits, nursing home visits,
golf and bowling tournaments and fashion shows. They also play a minimum
of 10 softball games which all have a charity element.

Saturday night was Dana Spain‘s annual Pimp and Ho party to raise money for PAWS, an organization she founded to assist our furry friends (PAWS is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to saving
Philadelphia’s homeless, abandoned, and unwanted animals. PAWS is the
city’s largest no-kill shelter and operates a high-volume, low-cost
clinic serving pet owners and rescue organizations that lack access to
affordable basic veterinary care. Through its adoption locations,
special events, and foster care network, PAWS finds loving homes for
thousands of animals each year. PAWS is working to make Philadelphia a
place where every healthy and treatable pet is guaranteed a home.)

We also gathered to wish Captain Eric Cahill good will on his mission as he is shipping out on a top secret mission on Saturday.  (the theme of the night was military dress.)

The evening was really more service oriented and charity minded with everyone looking dashing Carol Drumstas, Brown Forman, Steve Rockman, Teresa Nino, Merril Lynch and Christie Honigman, The Honigman Group.

I never saw or photographed the City from the Cira Center. WOW what a view. I was shooting an event for my client, United Way. I tried not to get to distracted, but was able to get a few shots in.
 
This was my favorite. Looks much better when it’s not resized.

 I lived in NYC between 2005 – 2007. I went to the Ground Zero ceremonies during the years I lived there, and the subsequent years when I was shooting NYFW.
