Lori
Loughlin
called “Wine
Women &
Shoes” a
perfect
event,
ticking off as reasons: so many of her friends, two great beneficiaries, and the glamorous array of
shoes, handbags, hats and jewelry for sale.
Loughlin, of “Full House” and “90210,” also said she was ready to shop. “It’s an addiction,” she
said.
(Check back later today to see more pictures from the event.)
Carla Du Manoir, Stacey Kohl and Patty Penske chaired the May 22 affair, which gave 400
fashionable women the chance to become even more so, thanks all the vendors who set up shop on
the spacious front lawn of Heather Thomas and Skip Brittenham’s home. A portion of all proceeds
went to Children’s Action Network and Westside Children’s Center.
Nia Vardalos gave a nod to Children’s Action Network for the success of her best-selling book,
“Instant Mom.” Vardalos said she and her husband, Ian Gomez of “Cougar Town,” adopted a
daughter 4 years ago.
The writer and star of “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” Vardalos said she has since become a
spokesperson for National Adoption Day, when courts finalize thousands of adoptions of children in
foster care.
Committee members included Christine Chiu, Michele Dominick, Bettina Duval, Jennifer Mintz
Eidinger, Teresa Fourticq, Layna Friedman, Suzanne Fulco, Natalie Gianne, Risa Green, Laura Hein,
Kathy Kendrick, Alexandra Kimball, Lisa Klingenberg, Shelley Litvack, Diana Maiman, Leslie Mayer,
Pati Miller, Yvonne Mychal, Jennifer Nordstrom, Michelle O’Brien, Lu Parker, Shelley Reid, Sharon
Segal Prudholme, Susie Sheinberg, Sheila Walker and Christina Zilber.
Also in the crowd: Shannon Tweed of
“Detroit Rock City,” Shiva Rose
McDermott of “David and Layla,”
Pandora Vanderpump of reality TV,
Catherine Bach of “The Dukes of
Hazard” and jazz musician Steve
Tyrell.
Fashion partners were Fred Segal,

issues and finding homes for children
in foster care. The Westside Children’s
Center is committed to breaking
intergenerational cycles of poverty,
abuse and neglect and preparing
children for a life of learning.
