The lovely and beautiful Marilou invited me to go with her to ROUGE: Ottawa's Ultimate Bacherlorette Party, on Saturday night. This was a fun "non-wedding" event for a good cause. The proceeds went to support the AIDS Committee of Ottawa.
The only thing that was missing from this event was my good friend, Krista. Her wedding is fast approaching and even though most of the details have been sorted out, there was tons of fun and ideas for her bachelorette. Unfortunately my camera is a very basic "point & shoot"... and the lighting in clubs is never ideal... so please excuse the fuzziness of the pictures. The bridal fashion show was very pretty. Even though the dresses were all very beautiful, I kept my eyes on the hair pieces... they were all so funky.
Isobel is the creative and talented designer of frAsh femme. & bel.
Above is just one of many beautiful pieces created by Isobel. The generous Marilou gave this necklace to me and I can't wait to show it off. I first discovered Isobel's work when I attended The Posh Wedding Show, in February. Her jewellery really stood out from all the other booths. I enjoy the unique looks to the pieces. Her spring/summer 2011 line is amazing and it's so cool that each piece is one of a kind.
Yummy cupcakes were generously provided by Auntie Loo's Treats. The most shocking discovery of the night was that the delicious treats were vegan. Vegan! It really blows my mind that cupcakes can be diary and egg free.... and still taste amazing good. It's dangerous for my waist line that she sells these amazing cupcakes at a cafe close to my work called Raw Sugar. These cakes are also Auntie Loo's creations and look amazing. My favourite is the orange one because it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.
Now on to my awkward moment of the night...
It involved a pole, a scandalously dressed hottie as an instructor and ML recording the moment.
I was so confused on how to turn around and slide down the pole. With the first attempt, I lost my shoe. And didn't do much better with round two. Pole dancing is not a hidden talent of mine... no upper body strength and lack of grace are not pros for this activity
ML was awesome, with confidence and humour she nailed the turn and slide.
Isobel is too cute. I wasn't able to capture the moment too well with the crap-tastic camera of mine (it had a seizure during her turn and slide). But she did great and the bow at the end was adorable.
The pole dancing demonstrations and lessons were provided by 3Sixty. The girls who were doing the demonstrations were amazing. If I try to explain what they were able to do it doesn't seem to do it justice, so you're interested just check out the site's photo gallery. What's really fun is that they will do Pole Parties... something that could be tons of fun for a bachelorette?! Non?!

Looks like so much fun- everyone looks great! I have the same necklace from Frash Femme- I love it! I took pole dancing classes and it is such hard work- I got bruises on my feet from spinning!
Your pole pics are so adorable!! I smiled seeing you have so much fun just being silly. Kam's been after me for ages now to take a pole dancing class with her just for fun. She's too afraid to go alone, and I'm the only one in our circle who's even remotely receptive to the idea. But I have NO grace whatsoever and am so afraid of freezing up with nerves! lol
I am SOOO jealous! I wish I could join a fun group like that. And pole-dancing?! That's my other fantasy!
I seriously love these photos of us "pole-dancing"! It's so fun and (almost) care-free!
I'm so happy you were my date that night babe!
besos,
ML
It's OUT!
