I’m no Karlie Kloss in the looks or modeling department, but such is my passion for writing and my books that I was willing to take to the runway – OK, the floor of the restaurant La Provence at Bloomingdale’s White Plains – to promote my work. And so I found myself turning and posing in two lovely outfits as part of Tricia Fraser Productions’ “Fashion Food Faire” at Bloomingdale’s White Plains Tuesday night.

It was all in a good cause, too, benefiting Gilda’s Club of Westchester, which provides free support to cancer patients.

Having strutted my stuff, I have to say that I would rather write a zillion articles. I have new respect for the models who slink and pout their way down the runway in that hip-exaggerating manner or those who can make their faces speak volumes in front of a camera. Hats off, ladies and gentlemen. Still, it was fun connecting with old friends and making new ones, talking up my books and, I must admit, playing dress up and being admired.

Nonetheless, I’ll just stick to scribbling.
