Highmark Presents Lights! Glamour! Action! - 2/26/11

Sparkles, satin, and the impending excitement of the Oscars, thrilled guests at Lights! Glamour! Action! Stage AE rolled out the red carpet to celebrate the 83rd Academy Awards and welcomed more than 900 guests for the evening. The Star 100.7 Morning Show Team lined the entrance, asking questions such as “What are you wearing?” And paparazzi clenched their cameras to steal shots of the elegantly dressed guests. The night included a live telecast of the Oscars, and a Salon Oscars Fashion presentation, featuring local beauty destinations. The silent auction included more than 160 items, ranging from sports, health and fitness, Downtown and dining, beauty and fashion, travel, and more. Official film props from NBC’s Community, the locally filmed movie I Am Number Four, and collections of autographed DVDs from Anne Hathaway and Denzel Washington were also auctioned off. The event benefited the Pittsburgh Film Office. “Everything was positive,” says Assistant Director Jessica Conner. “This was one of the best in 11 years.” Photography by Megan Wylie Ruffing
