More than a dozen WVU students strutted down the runway in fashionable winter wear hoping to raise money for two organizations. The Saturday-evening event was a fundraiser for the WVU Public Relations tiffany Society of America (PRSSA and PRSSA) and the Mountaineer Boys & Girls Club, said show director Brandon Thomas. The two groups split the earnings. Funding for the Boys & Girls Club has decreased during the past few years, and Thomas said they wanted to help. "We really wanted to highlight the Boys & Girls Club," Thomas said. The show allowed everyone to take a break from their hectic schedules and enjoy fashion and help raise money for a good cause, he said. Seventeen WVU students participated as models and the PRSSA organized the tiffany rings. The models displayed clothing from Gap, Rue 21, Pacific Sun and Vanity. The show had four scenes and more than 50 people attended the showcase. One of the models, WVU senior Megan Puglisi said she watched the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last week and got a few tips on how to work the runway. With only 20 minutes of practice at home she said she was ready to go. "I'm a natural," Puglisi joked. The fashion show shows people how important the Boys & Girls Club is to the kids, tiffany bracelets said. It also was a unique way to increase funds instead of a traditional fundraising program. "If we do something out of the box, it's going to attract a crowd," Puglisi said. WVU junior Ben Hancock agreed with Puglisi that the fashion show was a fun and different type of fundraiser. He added the event helps increase the club cash flow, but also allows the PRSSA students to practice their skills. One of Hancock's friends is involved with PRSSA and Hancock said when he heard about the event he jokingly asked why Hancock wasn't a model. The joke soon turned to reality as he became one. But, he said he had no problem and was excited for the tiffany cufflinks. "I thought it would be fun," Hancock said.
