    Thanks, Claude.
    Actually, I am the organizer of all the events. Miss Brooklyn is an invited guest and was generous to help out and will show up and say something at the opening reception at Superfine on March 4. Hope everyone will show up.

    We listened HeightsDiva. Thanks BHB!

    Keelie’s Miss Brooklyn Scholarship Fund was set up to promote Arts in Education. That’s where we connect. She’s been totally sweet and supportive, a beauty inside and out.
