PASSPORT to glamour

In another wildly successful event to raise money for AIDS research, the beautiful came together in September at the Santa Monica hangar where Sharon Stone raised $130,000 auctioning to the audience. The two-city event, which is held in Los Angeles and San Francisco, attracted the likes of Antonio Sabato Jr., David Schwimmer, Randy Jackson, Tommy Hilfiger, Anna Sui and Michael Kors. The VIP tent was buzzing with celebs, hunky Bacardi boys, and a lavish offering from the city’s best eateries. So if you missed it this time, mark your calendars for next year and dig deep into those pockets because it doesn’t get more indulgent than this!
