Supermodels!

Well, we were! Many years of us… many, many kilos… it was super-scary, super-fun and we raised a super amount of money.

My service club, Soroptimist International, organises an annual fund-raising fashion parade with one of our local clothing stores, and Friday was the big day. Ballentynes of Kilbirnie have hosted us year after year. They let us use their big store after hours, set up a red carpet ‘runway’, tables for drinks and nibbles, chairs for as many people as we can safely cram into the store, and then give a generous discount on the clothing the guests buy over the following week. In return we provide ‘models’ of realistic proportions, the drinks and nibbles, and have a wonderful time. Here’s our intrepid modelling team.

This year we’re raising funds for a charity called Bellyful – an organisation that provides meals for families with new babies or struggling with illness – particularly those who lack a good support network.
