Lacy Ball A New Attitude Good vibes coursed through the World Trade Center during the 16th Annual Attitudes & Attire Luncheon & Fashion Show, where the founder of UTD's Center for BrainHealth, Sandra Bond Chapman, was honored with this year's Kim Dawson Attitude Award. Since Lyn Berman established the nonprofit 17 years ago, Attitudes & Attire has enriched the lives of 16,000 women who've overcome hardships such as domestic violence and addiction. To honor the cause, more than a dozen patrons turned models (five of whom were former clients) strutted down the runway in looks from featured designer Eileen Fisher. Not a dry eye was found when A&A alumni Yolandia L. Williams and Castanita Fitzpatrick gave heartwarming testimonies — ergo, the tissue packets at each place setting.
