FRIDAY - (7 p.m. to midnight at Equinox on Oak Lawn) You didn’t think the Fashionistas were going to be stay-at-home types this weekend. They’re partnering up with Equinox for an “Old School Red Carpet Gala.” What does it entail? Basketball players wearing the newest duds in court wear? Heck, no. The Legends of Basketball (Houston Chapter aka “Dallas’ most southern burb”)  will honor Moses Malone (pictured) and “Sweet Lou” Dunbar. Besides locals, you can also expect to see special invited guests. It will be a night of cocktails, legends of style, silent auction, and entertainment by DJ Guillaume, DJ Kelly Hooper, and live entertainment from Boss Level. The $50-ticket will cover Fashionista membership, cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres with proceeds going to the Fashionistas and Youth Basketball Camps of Texas. Leave it to those natty naughties Heidi Dillon and Bri Crum to be putting this little tall pal gathering together.

Oh, and, Mike, tickets just might be available at the door. See ya!
