Tara Subkoff, the 36-year-old designer behind fashion label Imitation of Christ, appears to be recovering well after recent brain surgery, reports the New York Post.

We previously reported the startling news of Subkoff's benign brain tumor in July, in addition to the benefit being held later that month to help cover her hospital bills.

Subkoff attended a recent screening of "The Last Days of Disco" in New York City, and even participated in the Q&A session with the film's director and the audience, according to the paper.

Subkoff, who has appeared in several films including "The Notorious Bettie Page," founded Imitation of Christ in 2000 with Matthew Damhave and in collaboration with creative director Chloe Sevigny. She's also designed lines for Easy Spirit and Bebe.

I WISH THAT I COULD HAVE A BENEFIT HELD FOR ME. I HAVE BEEN BATTLING AN INOPPERABLE MALIGNANT ASTROCYTOMA GRADE III BRAIN TUMOR FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND RECENTLY OPEN HEART TRIPLE BYPASS SURGERY. I AM STILL RECOVERING FROM THE SURGERY I GOT 7 WEEKS AGO AND THE TUMOR IS IN CURRENT REMISSION, BUT STILL NEED TO TAKE CHEMO EVERY TWO WEEKS ON A MAINTENANCE BASIS. THE COST OF ALL OF THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE AND THE ONLY THING I HAVE LEFT TO PAY THE MEDICAL BILLS IS THE SALE OF MY CD'S WHICH ARE SELLING, BUT NOT AS MUCH AS NEEDED.

She had two benefits held for her and raised half a million dollars under the pretext that she would be bedridden and unable to work for up to a year. A week later she was spotted in St. Tropez and now she is out at a screening? I bet these generous peoples money could have gone to a much better and deserving purpose.

I have a friend who was found to have a brain tumor about 15 years ago. Dr.'s said it had prob. been growing at least 10 years. She had surgery and is doing GREAT!

Lis, don't be a hater. She was very sick, sounds like you have more information than you are letting on. Is she someone who upset you so you are now lashing out on a blog?
