Dearest Scarlett,

Michael Knight at C.A.N. Fundraiser

My mother and I attended the Michael Knight event in Atlanta (actually Norcross) GA last night. The event, which was a fundraiser for Cure Autism Now (C.A.N.) featured two other designers (unfortunately I don’t have details about them), with Michael showing his collection last.

He showed men’s and women’s clothing, new items and also some of the collection that appears on his website (clothing and swimsuits). The event was held at The Grape, a wine bar located in The Forum shops. Michael wore an appropriately grape-colored sweater (cute!!) with a hot-pink tie, jeans and a pink and purple belt. After the show, Michael auctioned off an original gown (also purple!), which he crafted for his PR Season 2 audition. The dress sold for $500. Michael was just as sweet and friendly in person as he seemed on the show, and even cuter in person!
