BLACKBURN AND SWEETZER

Adorable pet event alert! A friend of mine emailed me about this:

“This Sunday the La Brea Tar Pits will play host to a thousand+ little feet. Walk for the Underdog (www.walkfortheunderdog.com) is a charity walk-a-thon event and adoption festival, to be held in its 4th year, where people and their pets strut it to raise funds for the “underdogs.” The actual walk is only a mile, however, day-long festivities will include, bands, food, dog adoptions, and a silent auction to benefit rescue organizations. Over 30 vendors including Andrea Levine Jewelry (www.andrealevinejewelry.com) and LA’s own Urban Tails pet store (www.urbantails.net) will be on hand, so you can walk, adopt, and then buy some goodies for your new pal. It looks like last year someone lifted the velvet rope to let a few crusading celebrities into the event—Amy Smart, Linda Blair, model Jaime King, Melina Kanakaredes, and Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard. [This event is open to all.] “
