Folks,
There is an organization in Moab called WabiSabi - I gave you a link to that last night. To quote from the Wabisabi by-line, 'supporting the community with recycled style and grace'. It is the mother organization of several non-profit partners in Moab and it raises money for these partners through it's store of recycled article and clothing.
Once a year though on Fat Tuesday (Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Tuesday, Mardi Gras, etc.) it hosts a fashion show at - where else - The Moab Brewery. Tickets aren't cheap - it's for charity. The fashions however are unique - nine local designers, grab clothes off the shelves of Wabisabi and work them into rather unique article of fashion.
There is a fashion show at the brewery, complete with runway and music, and then ... the outfits are auctioned off to raise money - the top outfit went for $750 and - between ticket sales and costume sales I am betting they raised about 60k$ - good for them!!
I have included some better pictures of that event here.
Also yesterday I drove beside the Colorado River towards Castle Valley - it just like driving into the Grand Canyon. I then drove back to Moab and drove down Potash Road to catch some petroglyphs and then I went back into Arches to capture the sunset at Doc Williams point before the fashion show - a big day.
Moab is turning out to be a very interesting spot - it will be investigated thoroughly for a future blog.
To quote from verse 111 of the Krome Koan, 'Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.'
