The Hershey Legacy: Milton Hershey School's 100th year anniversary took place at The Times Center Tuesday evening. Athletes, actors, singers, Academy Award winners, and Hershey staff and students gathered to celebrate a man and his legacy.

Milton Hershey, founder of the Hershey Company, and his wife Catherine, founded Milton Hershey School 100 years ago to give children from backgrounds of profound need a nurturing and caring environment, a first-rate education and a guiding hand to adulthood... alumni of MHS have carried on his legacy of selfless giving through their commitment to give back to their communities...

I witnessed Mr. Hershey's profound impact first-hand when I had the opportunity to speak with MHS President (and 1959 MHS graduate), Dr. Anthony J. Colistra, and four current MHS students, Brittany Queen, Asham Asmani, Rachel Knight, and Sharron Townsen. All four students have big plans for their futures, and as student government officials. What impressed me the most, was their desire to give back to communities not only while attending MHS, but also in their fields of study.

Brittany, graduating Spring '10, plans on attending St. Johns as a Psychology major. Rachel, also a senior, plans to attend IUP for nursing. When I asked Asham, President of the Student Government, what his favorite plan he was cooking up for this years activities, he informed me that he hopes to join forces with MHS rival school (Hershey High School), and plan 4 community service events to participate in together. Righteous.

As Dr. Colistra stated, "I hope to maintain and prosper with the tremendous legacy Mr. Hershey left." If these four kids are any indication of the dreams and aspirations that come to life through MHS, I'd say... mission accomplished.

In addition to chatting with these inspiring students, I joined guests to a screening of the documentary, Living the Legacy: The Untold Story of Milton Hershey School, directed by Oscar winner Cynthia Wade.

This heartwarming, honest, and poignant documentary, brought attention to the lives of students touched by Mr. Hershey's vision and the continuing commitment of the school. Through my tears, I was able to catch a glimpse of the immeasurable impact and value MHS has had over the last 100 years.

The Untold Story was beautifully told and I urge you to catch a showing on IFC or the Sundance Channel in early November.

Custo Barcelona Air Show 9/13/09

S/S '10 Womens and Mens Collection

Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week

I dream of lips

Washed against an exotic fabric of fantasy,

Of a singular melody

Transposed against jewels of colored majesty

A contemporary dream come true.

When your wildest imagination ebbs and flows

To the tune of the ethereal express.

This 2010 Spring/Summer collection definitely captured an ethereal essence mixed with a sultry spice. Custo's signature use of colors popped in this season's collection with the utilization of textures and eyelets. HOT. I must also mention as well, the models were g-or-ge-ous.

The pumping music combined with the lighting design, accented this fantastic runway, highlighting each piece. Somehow, watching the runway, I felt uber-sexy, like dancing, and flying simultaneously.
