Tootsies
boutique tossed a baubles- and babies-themed bash to celebrate the
Texas Children’s Maternity Center, opening in 2011. More than 100
fashionable femmes, including several moms-to-be, gathered for a preview
of the state-of-the-art center and greeted
Texas Children’s senior vice president Cris Daskevich. To launch the
new addition, jewelry designer Mindy Lam unveiled a special keepsake
pin, while a fashion show revealed that baby bumps deserve more than
traditional maternity duds. In the crowd: Sidney
Faust, Sandy McElligott, Ann Stern, Roz Pactor, Nidhika Mehta, Linda
Kuykendall, and Elsie Eckert.
