Toodle Doodle, 2011 Lee Romaire

Thanks to my friend Tom Gray I was invited to participate in the CELEBRITY DOODLES Charity Auction event in Palm Springs to benefit the Desert AIDS Project. I created this little guy, TOODLE DOODLE, for the event.

Also, me and my date Gretchen (from Housewives of Orange County) got to hang out with friends Suzanne Somers and Barry Manilow.

Just kidding…all were kind enough to take a pic with me and my doodle!
