Moderator Arlene Dahl Heidings brings her signature panache to this year's annual Bargain Basket Fashion Show featuring haute couture from the world's leading couturies. A veteran of shows from Paris to Milano and London to New York, Dahl Heidings formerly walked the runway but revealed she prefers moderating over modeling. "Perhaps it's because I got tired of getting pinched by Oscar (de la Renta)," she said. "Moderating is so much more relaxing!"

De Carlo Hall has endowed the BB with her fame, notoriety and example. "Throughout my years on stage and screen, I have learned it is better to give than to receive," she said. "By far, you get back much more than you give. Besides, the BB is a good time!"
