Backstage with Goldie at VFW

Last week I spent 3 days in Vancouver, B.C. walking in their fashion week. It was definitely their best season yet. The venue moved from the Chinese Cultural Center to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, where they had set up tents. 

I'm looking forward to sharing all the different collections I walked for with you, but let me start with Goldie. This was my third season walking for this designer. Her ready-to-wear collections never disappoint. The makeup for her show was soft on the eyes and a bright pink lip. The hair was soft waves. Below you can see some of the photos from backstage.

After the show was over, my husband and I headed out to the VFW after party at Cabana nightclub. The music was great and the hors d'oeuvres were delicious.  I even found a panda on the way! 

And finally here's a photo from the runway captured by Dale Rollings.

I <3 to BOOM BOOM!!

Last Tuesday was kind of a big deal....it was my birthday:) And I can think of no better way to have carried on the celebration than to go see The Boom Booms perform live at The Sunset Tavern in Seattle!!

The show was absolutely incredible! From the music, to the energy of the room, and let's not forget my first ever birthday shout out from a band, it was a night to remember! Just when I didn't think it could get any better, Aaron, the lead singer debuted a new song that they wrote on the tour bus on their way down from Vancouver, B.C.. The hook of the song had the phrase, "she has diamonds in the soles of her shoes"! It was made for me! After the show I tried to convince the band that they should slip my name into the lyrics....I hope they listened to me:)

And for the cherry on top...that really sexy conga player you see in the first photo below...that's my brother-in-law, Theo Vincent, and he hooked my husband and me up with T-shirts from their band! Of course I had to get a picture with the superstar before he went off to his next destination!

The Boom Booms are performing at SXSW Friday, March 15th, at 10pm. If you're in the area, I would definitely take the time to check them out! You won't be sorry you did! Below you can see my daughter and I wearing our Boom Booms T-shirts, which are available at a Boom Booms concert near you!
