This swanky, May 26 shindig at Hotel Parq Central (806 Central SE, 505.242.0040) promises to be one of the year’s top chichi events. Bon Fete Fashion for Paws, a silent auction and fashion show benefiting Animal Humane Association of New Mexico, is the brainchild of makeup artist Ashlynne Padilla and boutique owner Monica Vigil. The night begins at 6 p.m. with a silent auction featuring art, pet products, styling services, makeovers, boutique gift certificates and more. Bliss! Next, at 7 p.m., it’s a Moni V’s fashion show (emcee: yours truly) with makeup by Padilla and hair by Inspire salon. Designers include Splendid, Cynthia Vincent and Halston.
Tickets are available at Moni V’s (112 Amherst SE, 505.255.0148); $25 for general admission and $50 for VIP seating and swag bag. Fifty percent of ticket sales and 100 percent of silent auction funds, benefit Animal Humane Association of New Mexico. For info, call 505.569.0157.
