Join Us at the 2009 NAAFA Fashion Show & Auction Dinner

July 4, 2009 - PRLog -- This year Washington DC will take its place as the leading plus-size fashion capital of the world as we bring you the NAAFA 2009 Fashion Show & Auction Dinner being held on Friday, July 31, 2009, at the Dulles Airport Marriott. NAAFA is the world's oldest, largest civil rights organization working to improve the lives of people of size.  We turn forty years old this year and are going strong with the strength we need to build a new future.  This major fund raising event for our organization will feature food, fashion, music and our well known Not-So-Silent Auction.

Plus size fashion designers from around the country will present their latest collections of inspired designs.  These talented designers have a sincere desire to see women return to the truth within themselves as expressed through what they wear, giving men and women of any age and size the opportunity to be truly fabulous. We are happy to announce that we have award winning makeup artist, Maisie Dunbar, to assist our volunteer model participants with their makeup and hair stylists from Paul Mitchell The School Virginia to finish their looks.

Be sure to bring your wallets, checkbooks and credit cards as we will showcase vendors of fashion, accessories and furniture--all catering to the plus size audience.

The event begins with dinner at 7pm on Friday, July 31, 2009.  Tickets to this exciting fund raising event are $75 each for the entire fashion-filled evening and may be purchased through July 26, 2009 online by going to http://www.naafaonline.com/NAAFA_2009_DC_Convention/index... and clicking on the Registration tab.
