Christian Siriano, great clothes and good deeds

siriano%20edited.jpg It's not every night that you can mingle with Christian Siriano, get a chance to win one of his designer dresses and help with literacy efforts -- all at the same time. Saturday night, join the drive2thrive fund-raiser at Maserati of Baltimore. It benefits Baltimore Reads and other literacy campaigns by the Greater Baltimore Urban League and the American Academy of Pediatrics Foundation.

Tickets are $100 and up for the event, which runs from 7:30 p.m. to midnight at the Maserati dealership, 1628 York Road, just north of the beltway. For details, click here or call 443.802.0454.

About the blogger

Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is the Maryland Editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.
