Pink Fashion Rocks!

Pink Fashion Rocked!! 

Longview Gallery rocked in Pink on Wednesday, February 24th!  The Greater Washington Fashion Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Pink Jams! presented an amazing, one-of-a-kind pink fashion show benefiting Pink Jams!, Avon Walk for Breat Cancer and GWFCC's own DC Fashion Foundation. Headlining the fashion show was the latest pink trends from Betsey Johnson.  The evening was full of energy and amazing sounds from iTunes' 2009 Rewind Best New Rock Band, Charm City Devils.

Special thanks to our amazing partner, Pink Jams! founder, Christa Floresca.  YOU ROCK, GIRL!
