BETSEY JOHNSON.
The benefits of living in good ole' Kentucky on May 5, 2011 were very sunny as I got to meet Betsey Johnson! She was hosting a benefit for breast cancer awareness and research among the many Kentucky Derby festivities she also participated in. The amazing experience of being able to meet a favorite designer is indescribable. We had a special "VIP Meet & Greet" time with her where we got to talk to her for a few seconds and get our picture with her! She is an undeniably warm-hearted person, and so bubbly and fun to be around.
Betsey Johnson was the perfect person to hold this benefit, she herself has had breast cancer (as she calls it, a funny story), and she knows first hand how to deal with it and what these women go through. She is so supportive of women and to fighting for a cause.
We were given the professional pictures from Chambord and she signed it :)
Last picture of the day!
I think the pictures and the signing were amazing, but I would have to say the BEST part of the day was before the even even started. We arrived early to be able to stand in line and decided to go to the restroom first. Well, when we walked out of the restroom, Betsey Johnson is just sitting there on the couch by herself, just hanging out. Naturally, we freak out and go up to her and ask for a picture and everything, and she stands up and gives us hugs like we have known each other forever! She was just the sweetest person and I am so grateful to have these opportunities in my life to be able to meet people like her.
