    Shelby's Social Diary

    The Cattle Baron's ladies give a nod to the men behind the scenes of their mega fundraiser

    Those Victory gals love their guys — and this has nothing to do with Valentine's Day. It's just that the group of women that organizes the Cattle Baron's Ball each year couldn't do it without the enthusiasm of their boyfriends, dads, husbands and brothers. With that in mind, the fellows bowed in in the spotlight at the "Gentlemen's Committee Cocktail Bash."

    The evening, held at Capone's Bar and Brick Oven, doubled as a benefit for the American Cancer Society with Victory members Allie Fields, Jackie Eubank and Molly Johnson chairing the high-energy gathering.

    While grooving to the sounds of the Classix, the 150-plus guests scooped up raffle tickets, feasted on brick oven pizzas and Italian hors d'oeuvres and ruminated over the 2013 Cattle Baron's Ball set for April 27 at the George Ranch. Ball chairs Gigi Harbison and Lauri Gordon pumped up interest in the western-themed mega-fundraiser. Of course, their hubbies — David Gordon and Russell Harbison — were there to applaud their efforts.

    In the mix were Jay Fields, Jebb Stone, Monty Eubank, Elizabeth and Alan Stein, Monica and Curtis Bickers, Meredith Riddle, Mary Ann and David McKeithan, Dee and James Darby, Luvi and Carlos Wheelock and Susie and Paul Gold.

    The Bayou City Event Center turned into a stylish treasure hunt when nearly 1,800 savvy shoppers descended for The Sale, a three-day bargain fete for those with a penchant for couture.

    The annual shopping affair brought more than 50 of Houston’s premier boutiques under one roof, each offering discounts that ranged from 20 percent to a jaw-dropping 90 percent. So, obviously, the question becomes: Do you take Amex?

    Shoppers combed through racks and displays while supporting pediatric cancer research at Texas Children’s Cancer and Hematology Center.

    The festivities began with the Preview Shopping Party, where sponsors and underwriters enjoyed first dibs on the merchandise. The VIP Lounge kept the evening lively with an open bar, gourmet bites, and scoops from HTX Nitro Creamery. The venue took on a festive personality thanks to whimsical balloon installations from PopCreations and oversized, handmade bow designs by Rick Butler. DJ G Funk kept the soundtrack upbeat as early-bird shoppers plotted their sartorial strategies.

    Two full days of general shopping followed. Steering the event were event co-chairs Amber Vaughn, Laura Williams, Kate Schneider, Britta Christenson, and Renee Kennedy, with the help of Houston Tri Delta Philanthropies, Inc.

    By the final checkout, The Sale had raised more than $475,000 for pediatric cancer research, bringing its cumulative fundraising total to more than $2.9 million since its debut in 2015.

    Browsing the racks and snagging stylish steals were Bethany Buchanan, Courtney Harmon, Katie Tsuru, Nora Jarrad, Tiffany Haik, Sallie Alcorn, Mary Morgan Stevens, Donae Chramosta, Beth Muecke, Brandi Smith, Imani Guillory, Lauren Mills, Nina Rand, Courtney Zavala, and Jennifer Cope
