Sporting fashion

Sacramento Bee/Randall Benton

Our very own Sacramento River Cats are hitting the local fashion scene. On Wednesday, the team unveiled its new logo at a packed show - Project Home Runway - at Spataro Restaurant and Bar. Following the unveiling, a packed audience was treated to a fashion show featuring the work of eight local designers, including Michael Sommerfield, co-owner of Miosa Couture, and Casey Sue Douglass.

Starting today, at 9 a.m., about 13 pieces from the show, including tops and dresses, will be auctioned by the River Cats, including Casey Sue's baseball-swinging dress (shown above). Gabe Ross, director of media relations for the Cats, says the auction likely will run about three weeks - "until the bidding slows."

To check out the fashions up for bid, visit www.rivercats.com and click on the "auction" link. Gabe adds that all proceeds raised from the auction will go to River Cats Independence Field, a baseball/softball field in Sacramento designed specifically for adults and kids with disabilities. Funds will be used for Phase 2 of the field's development, including dugouts.

And, keep your fashion eyes on the calendar: All of the designers will be honored - and their designs displayed at a River Cats home game - early in the 2007 season. The River Cats' first game is April 5.

Plus: I'll be writing more on Wednesday -- see Scene's Page 3.

About Comments

What You Should Know About Comments on Sacbee.com

Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)

Here are some rules of the road:

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.

• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.

If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
