Bonnie Bing roast

Tonight Dan and I went to a roast in celebration of Bonnie Bing, the Wichita Eagle's society and fashion columnist, who is celebrating her 60th year.

It was a great night. A real "who's who" of Wichita came out to celebrate Bonnie.

These are blog-alicious photos, Marie. I have posted a couple for now on my blog, but will do better later. I'm very disappointed I didn't get good photos from the fashion show. Yours are great. However, I got a good one of you and Dan and will post later.
