Draping chiffon, hot pink lighting, fresh flowers, 5 star menu and a happening D.J.  This isn’t “Platinum Weddings” this was the scene at the National Building Museum Saturday night for the Fashion for Paws 5th annual runway show benefitting the Washington Humane Society.  The event was hosted by D.C. media blogger Pamela Sorensen of Pamela’s Punch and Entertainment Tonight’s Lawrence Zarian.  Models alongside their beloved pets wore high end fashions sponsored by Tysons Corner Galleria and worked a runway adorned with hot pink lit trees and a hot pink fire hydrant that was the center piece on the runway. 

D.C. filmmaker Jason Baustin differs from his area counterparts in one important regard: He's not from around here. Jason moved to the D.C. area from Atlanta, Georgia to study Film and Digital Media at American University after some friends had told him about the program. After graduating, he decided to stay in the D.C. area to make films rather than opting for the oft chosen destinations of New York and Los Angeles.
