Boobilicious

So I'm finding the toughest thing about experiencing all there is to do in Vancouver is finding the time to blog about it.

A couple of weekends ago Mike and I attended a charity event for breast cancer that a guy I work with was organizing with his new company. The cause is of course very close to my heart and after talking to people there, everyone seemed to have someone close to them who had breast cancer at some point in their life. The event was called Boobilicious and held at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden in the middle of China Town.
Everyone was asked to wear pink and come ready for a great time.

This picture was taken earlier in the evening. The gardens are beautiful during the day, but lit by pink flood lights and candles, it was a sight to behold. Doesn't Mike look handsome in his pink shirt? Hopefully I'll be able to convince him to wear it again, the man didn't have even a stripe of pink in his whole wardrobe.

There was a silent auction, DJs, massage stations, henna tattoo stations and burlesque dancers.

The party was an absolute blast and to top it all off all the women were given pink goody bags on the way out.

Goodies included hair brushes, sexy pink panties, hair care products, free photo finishing, etc.

You could really tell that the whole thing was organized by a bunch of young guys ;)
Here are the massage chairs I mentioned earlier.

I'd never seen these before until I came here, but they've been hired for several events I've been to lately. I have yet to take the plunge and try one out yet, next time!
Here I am in front of the pink-lit statue of Dr Sun Yat-Sen out front and what a gorgeous evening it was too.

They were very lucky that way, it wouldn't have been the same if it had of rained.

Here is a photo of the entrance where we gave our ticket, checked our coats and donned our pink ribbons.

We need someone there to keep out the riff raff, right?
Here is a picture of the gardens. It may bee a bit too dark for the blog, but it shows the lanterns and the little ponds.

The ponds are full of gold fish and ducks.

And now for the burlesque dancers. I was not expecting this and I don't thinks Mike was either although he was pleasantly surprised.

There were several shows with several different girls in varying getups. Here is the beginning of one of the shows....
and here is the end. Boobilicious, get it?

They were incredible shows, one girl actually lit the tasseled suckers on her breasts on fire and danced around.

Brave girl! Nope you couldn't tell that the whole shebang was organized by a bunch of young men...Our friend Chris was kicking himself the next day because he declined my invitation to attend what he pictured to be a dry fund raiser for breast cancer.
It was awesome anyways I have to make sure I keep in touch with that guy, he knows how to throw a party!
