I had a charity event tonight that i told some of you ladies about. It was to benefit breast cancer research and there was a woman-less beauty pageant which i took part in. I raised $1500. So sit back and have a good laugh at the pics.

You're a good sport - but the biker chic demands tattoos.

Cathy M 06-03-2008 05:24 PM

Way to go Henry!!! Of course, it is sad that your nails look better than mine.... sigh... $1500 is a huge amount to have raised. Congratulations on going the extra mile (in heels no less) to help others :):)

She did talk me into it.....LOL :) But it was good fun for a great cause. I had an aunt , a grandmother and a dear close friend who died from breast cancer. So a great cause to have done this for. :)

Acetone nail polish remover. Just stick your finger in it and soak it for a bit. should come off

You're a good sport, Henry. It takes a very confident man to be able to pull that off. Good for you. Thank you, too.

That 2nd picture looks a lot like one of my cousins who sings.... :D

quiltwoman 06-04-2008 03:29 AM

Who does your make-up? They did a great job--your face in the first picture reminds me of a fairy.
Honestly Henry, your nails look far better than mine ever have.

You are a good sport for such a great cause.
