“This is such a fun show to be a part of,” said Pudduck. “Every year we love it. All the models including the (breast cancer) survivors who participate are amazing to work with and to watch. Just a great energy.”
“We have about eight or nine male and female models, and for the first time we’re including swim wear,” said Steere before the event began.
