I attended the Viva Las Vegas Fashion Show this weekend at the Austin Music Hall with model/actress Bobbie Ragsdale and we made the Statesman's A-List.

The 16th Annual Viva Las Vegas Fashion Show had all the looks you need for a weekend in Sin City.
“What we wanted to do was take you through a morning in Vegas all the way through partying all night long.” Said Kathy Girling, chairperson.
The following local boutiques provided clothes for the event: Estilo, Garden Room, Keepers, Banana Republic, Underwear and Minx.
“I really appreciated the diversity of models. I especially liked the one model who wore the bright orange dress. To me she looked like a younger Michelle Obama.” Said fashionista Robert Giardinelli.
This year’s show also included something known as mangerie. That's the new word for men in underwear, something local diva and fashionista Jette' Momant appreciated in addition to the lingerie looks for the ladies.
“I really loved the babydoll kind of get ups. I thought that was really sexy and innocent at the same time.” Commented fashionista Jette' Momant.
Proceeds from the event benefit AIDS services of Austin and the Capital Area Lea\gal Project. They help people who are living with HIV and AIDS in the Central Texas community with everything from case management services to CALP and the legal services.

I have never heard it called that before, that is just too funny. I think men's underwear needs some more styles, other than your usual boxers and briefs.
