Agape Animal Rescue presents their fifth annual Glitter and Glam event July 28, from 5-8p.m, at the Hutton Hotel.

Enjoy an evening filled with fashion, food, auctions and wine tasting.

Hosts

This year’s event will be hosted by “singer-songwriter, model and television personality” Kimberley Locke, and CMA’s recently chosen “Debut Spotlight Artist” Phoenix Stone. “Locke has achieved five Top 5 singles on the Billboard dance chart and ten Top 20 singles on the adult contemporary chart, the most of any Idol alumni.” Stone’s “debut country single “100 Proof Moonshine” has already “hit #1 on the New & Active Charts and Billboard Top 50,” and he is currently a “judge on the brand new reality television music competition “Next Great Family Band.”  (Glitter and Glam)

Fashion Designers

This year’s fashion show will feature Nashville Designers Corello for the humans and Baxter Bailey & Company for the furry friends. “Corello will be showcasing their 2013 “Black Jezebel Road” collection at Glitter & Glam. Core says the collection is inspired by Caballo’s country chart topping single of the same name and is about “delving into unfamiliar territories and realizing how familiar it really is.” (Glitter and Glam)

Baxter Bailey & Company’s latest collection, “Music City Mutt,” will serve as inspiration for the custom pieces going down the Glitter & Glam runway. “As a play off our company tagline, ‘Luxury Living For The Discriminating Mutt’, this product line will embody the look and spirit of Music City!” said Brown. These custom pieces will compliment the looks of human designer, Corello.” (Glitter and Glam)

Auctions

In addition to the fashion show, there will be a silent and live auction featuring over $15,000 worth of merchandise. A few notable items include “a one-of-a-kind autographed, oversized Thomas Kincaid painting and a Predators 2012-2013 team autographed jersey”.

Cause

All proceeds will go directly to Agape Animal Rescue, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, benefitting the dogs of Middle Tennessee. Agape Animal Rescue is dedicated to finding forever homes for abandoned and displaced dogs while educating the public to be more responsible pet owners.

Agape Founder, Tanya Willis said “Last year we raised over $37,000 and we hope to break $40,000 this year!”

Tickets are now available online for $70. Visit http://glitterandglam.org for tickets or more information.

“You’ve got to admit, dogs know how to show serious love for their humans. Their love can be seen pretty much every moment of every day, from the happiness they show when you come home to the longing look of affection they give when you aren’t doing anything at all.

Show some love in return (as if you don’t already) by capturing your dog’s personality in professional photo on Saturday, February 2nd at Harmony Designs Photography in downtown Nashville at Cummins Station. April Hollingsworth, renowned Nashville photographer, is hosting the event and will donate all proceeds to Agape Animal Rescue. There is a $25 per dog sitting fee. Any additional $10 per person will be added on for humans wanting to be photographed with their dogs.*

Be sure to arrive early, as the event is first-come, first-served and only runs until 2:00 p.m. that day.

Hollingsworth specializes in pet photography and has achieved amazing results in portraits of pets and family. You will come away with a rock-star-quality photo of your beloved pet you can keep forever. Display it on your mantle or keep it in your walled. Who knows, it may be the beginning of your dog’s professional modeling career. Make it work!

Last year’s Luv My dog Day event was a big hit, with over 40 dogs being photographed, and 2012 is already providing to be a winning year for Agape. Come support local dog rescue while showing some love to your favorite pooch this February. Showcase frame and gallery canvas specials will be offered to everyone who attends. Bring our dog’s favorite toy, treat, article of clothing or anything else you think would help make your dog feel comfortable in front of the camera.

EVENT TIME:
Feb 2nd from 9:00a.m.- 2:00 p.m.
(first come. first served)

PLACE:
Harmony Designs Photography
Cummins Station
