Macy's Passport99: Metro Fashion Extravaganza

Š1999 metrofashion-

Macy's September 16-19th "Passport99" fashion event in San Francisco was a spectacular fundraiser for

HIV/AIDS organizations in California, capping 10+ years of Macy's support for HIV/AIDS research and establishing the annual Passport show as a major stop on the fashion circuit. MetroFashion Magazine was there, capturing the event with an exclusive photographic series to be presented here on the Internet. This issue we present the first segment featuring some of the celebrity images of Macy's Passport99.

Sharon Stone Replacing

Elizabeth Taylor as the guest MC of the Macy's Passport99 was actress

Sharon Stone. It's fair to say that Mrs. Stone had on her "game face" for the Passport99 event; she was ebullient, charming, and articluate, voicing the challenge of fighting the tragic AIDS epidemic which has now taken millions of lives worldwide. Mrs. Stone shared her personal compassion for AIDS victims and noted how the disease has touched everyone's private social communities.

One of the highlights of the Passport99 Fashion Show was the celebrity auction event, where flamboyant gifts such as a personal ride with

Tommy Hilfiger on his private blimp were put up for bid. During the auction, Mrs. Stone literally ran around the stage, up into the stands, and down onto the catwalk seating area, rallying bidders to drive the auction prices higher and stretch their financial commitment to

HIV/AIDS charity. She would embrace and nudge and hold hands with her audience, getting everyone into the action, and compressing what seemed like an arena of 1000s into an intimate evening social affair for a few.

You can't say enough about the impact that

Sharon Stone has had on

modern women's culture, and this was evident in the reverent, sisterly manner with which she was greeted by the professional female auction winners who came on stage. At once enthrawled by her presence and charisma, they along with the rest of the audience were grateful for Mrs. Stone's self-deprecating manner when she spoke earlier at the podium about "ME (actually) getting a call from Elizabeth Taylor, THE Elizabeth Taylor." Even celebrities are celebrity worshipers, but Mrs. Stone kept the Passport99 crowd focused on the matter at hand, and Passport99 came off as intensely entertaining as well as philanthropically fruitful.
