New York Fashion Night, which will be held at Pure: The Existence, was organized to help a fashion model cope up with her disease—brain cancer.

The local fashion model, Morgan Griffin has hoped all her life to be a runway supermodel. She is stunningly beautiful at twenty-three years old, but her face and her catwalk were put to risk when diagnosed with a brain tumor in December 2010. Though she immediately had surgery to remove it,  the financial implication of the entire treatment course is something to worry about.

It’s an odd twist of events since Morgan had already landed her first magazine cover just before she was diagnosed with a Stage Two Astrocytoma. She had to drop out from college and put her modeling career on hold in order to cope with surgery and side effects of the treatment. To help Morgan, her family and friends put up a huge fashion show for Morgan’s benefit. As Massingill says, “From what I see and what I know, she is really genuine. She has a lot of friends and a lot of support. I don’t think she would have that kind of support if she wasn’t who she was on the inside.”

The fashion show is expected to be gigantic. As photographer Toni Riales who helped plan the show, said “We thought… Let’s just do something.. Let’s throw a party. Since we don’t do anything small, we decided to have a giant fashion show, and have band and a dj and make it a fundraising event for her.”

Though Morgan won’t be able to do the catwalk at the fashion event solely for her, her friends and supporters will surely be there.

John wall lead the Rookie Challenge with a record 22 assists. The Rookies won over the Sophomores 148 to 140 in the 2011 T-Mobile Rookie Challenge.

After a less than spectacular first half, the energy doubled the second half with what seemed like a duel for the MVP prize by DeJan Blair and DeMarcus Cousins. Cousins had been an MVP favorite and looking at his stats you could not deny that. But in the end Wall’s 22 assists pushed him into the MVP slot.

Blair ended the game shooting 14 for 21 with 28 points and 15 rebounds. Cousins had 33 points and an equally impressive 14 rebounds.

Wall and Griffin had the quintessential wow moment of the game. During the second half of the game an alley-oop bounce pass with a reverse two handed slam dunk by Griffin had everyone out of their seats.

John wall scored 12 points only slightly behind Blair and Cousins, but his 22 assists are what everyone is talking about. Chris Paul held the record at 17 assists previously.

There is also some talk of Dougie dunks and whether or not that was the move Wall was trying to do while hanging from the rim. Right now that is still open for interpretation.

Further highlights of the game include Serge Ibaka of the Thunder with two three pointers and a whopping 30 points by James Harden.

The T-Mobile Rookie Challenge took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Friday the day before the regular All Star Game Which is happening Today.
