Show them How It's Done, Robin!!

A bald Robin Roberts braved the catwalk today of Isaac Mizrahi's runway show, live from New York Fashion Week.

Her fellow "Good Morning America" anchors dared Robin to do it. What they didn't know t to step on her dress. She said her biggest fear was not falling, but causing a 16-model pile up behind her.

Isaac's entire collection and the full runway show can be seen on his Web site by clicking here: Isaac Mizrahi.

***I didn't see the show at Isaac's site but I did find it at ABC News...See Robin Strut her stuff!***

Why and How She Did It

"The story of my dare began back in July of last year when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer, knowing only that a battle lay ahead," Robin explained.

The last thing Robin says she felt was beautiful. "So when GMA dared me to be a model, it was the perfect opportunity for me to really push outside my comfort zone," Robin said.

To transform herself into a supermodel, Robin sought help from the best.

Next Robin went to see designer extraordinaire Isaac Mizrahi, who agreed to give her a chance and helped her find the stunning red sequined gown she wore.

The last step before the show was the obligatory photo shoot. Supermodel Nikki Taylor showed Robin how it's done for a special layout in Redbook magazine.

(CNN) -- Richard Roberts, the embattled president of Oral Roberts University and the son of its namesake evangelist founder, stepped down Friday, according to the school's Board of Regents.

"I love ORU with all my heart. I love the students, faculty, staff and administration, and I want to see God's best for them," Roberts wrote in his resignation letter.

Roberts' decision was effective immediately and came as the school fought a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by three professors who accused him and his wife of misconduct.

John Swails, Tim Brooker and Paulita Brooker said they lost their jobs after reporting information indicating that Roberts and his family lavishly spent school money for personal expenses.

Roberts and his wife, Lindsay, have denied the allegations.

The suit also claimed Oral Roberts University gave a "convicted sexual deviant unrestricted access to students" and evidence in the case had been shredded -- charges the university has denied.

In addition, the suit alleged Lindsay Roberts repeatedly spent time with an "underage male" in various situations. She denied any improper behavior, insisting in a statement that she had "never, ever engaged in any sexual behavior with any man outside of my marriage."

The Board of Regents, which voted to hire an auditor to look into the claims, will meet early next week to discuss a search process for a new president, according to Friday's statement from Chairman George Pearsons.

Roberts announced last month he would step aside temporarily as president, saying he and his family had suffered "heavy damage."

The controversy has drawn international attention to the private Christian university in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
