Dinner for Blake Mycoskie, Founder of Tom's Shoes
By Mickey Boardman
Mr. Mickey was invited to a cute dinner last week for Tom's Shoes designer Blake Mycoskie who, in addition to being yummy to look at, is an inspiring entrepreneur and new school philanthropist! For each pair of shoes sold, a pair is donated to a shoeless child in some developing part of the world (Argentina seems to be where the whole thing started). The shoes are only $38 (more for special collaborations) ,which is a steal! MM insists you log onto Tom's website and buy yourself some shoes. MM wears his around the house with Rick Owens shorts and a Lacoste top. That's MM's lounging look.
Anyhoo, here's a shot of Blake at the dinner with second generation glamour puss Alessandra Balazs and a darling girl who's name Mr. Mickey sadly does not know! Mr. Mickey is quite the professional journalist isn't he?
