| Through the red doors of the Park Plaza Castle unlocked a night of enchantment as the Mass General Hospital for Children's annual Storybook Ball took place on October 2nd. Rafanelli Events set the stage for Arabian Nights, the theme of the fundraiser. An impressive who's who of Boston showed to support this worthy cause, raising over 1.6 million dollars for the hospital. |


| The space was truly transformed into something magical. |




| The co-chairs of the event. |






| Palm trees were brought in to liven the room. |


| Michael Blanchard Photography is now offering a unique "photobooth" experience and we were pleased to have it at Storybook! |


Below is a photograph from our photobooth.
The background was hand painted to match the theme of the event. |




| Billy and the entire team from Rafanelli definitely pulled it off! |

| Although her birthday was in September and I am a bit behind in my blogging, I still wanted to share a few from Kelley's party! |

| Brendan did a good job keeping the party secret. |
















Arnold Scaasi's dresses have been worn for decades on red carpets, at awards shows and even by several first ladies. Now retired, Scaasi appeared last week at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston for the opening of Scaasi: American Couturier.

| Lines of people waiting to greet Manolo stretched throughout the store for nearly three hours. |


| Manolo took the time to make everyone feel special, even the four legged! |



| Manolo's book of sketches sold out quickly. |












| Manolo was in town from London so Neiman's hired "Beef Eaters" to entertain. |



| Even after the crowds left, Manolo stayed late to autograph a few more books and shoes. |
