NOTE: Overall this year's event, as always, was very inspiring especially with the candid stories from the cancer survivors. Although the crowd was a bit light as compared to the past events, the quality of it remained the same in regards to its purpose--to enlighten the community about cancer. And we at OUTSTAGN tip our hat to Watson for pulling off this event because of the quick turn around of the changing the venues two weeks before the event. The gallery was also a great venue to have this event with the decor and art as well in this two story venue. Now as far as the fashions, well there were more misses than hits (and you know who you are lol), but we were able to find a few hits here and there, but we will give a pardon to the fashion choices selected by the majority.
