On Monday, the 8th of August, following the Rebecca May Weddings Vintage Photo Shoot, I attended the Limerick Pride 2011 Press Launch.

The event took place in Bentleys Bar and featured an ILoveLimerick.com feature entitled "A Decade of Pride" (which you can check out here) as well as speeches by those key figures involved in this year's festival.

Specsavers/Gok Wan Range Fashion Show

Hi Everyone, 

Saturday, the 26^th of March saw Cruises Street in Limerick transformed when the Specsavers Fashion Show took place with models wearing the new Gok Wan range of glasses available. I decided to go along as Rich Lynch of ILoveLimerick.com was hosting the event with Haunty Beor.

Upon arrival at the event, I was invited to join the models on the red carpet catwalk. The event saw a competition for the most stylist glasses wearer take place which the public were given the choice of entering. I hit the catwalk in a pair of retro-inspired specs while my personal make-up artist and best friend Claire Kelly rocked a more geek-chic look.

Olivia O’Sullivan of the Limerick Post was also there along with photographers Pat Browne of Munster Images, Cian McNamara and Dolf Patijn. A photograph of Claire and I subsequently appeared in the Limerick Post, as did a photo of myself for the Limerick Post Fashion Section on Street Style – for once, I was not wearing one of the stunning dresses from the Ivory Closet on Shannon Street but had instead opted for a more casual style.

The whole ILoveLimerick.com team were there to film the event. Watch the feature here:
