A few friends, the Posh Pals, have decided to fundraise $10,000 for the Weekend to End Breast Cancer. It's a 60km walk through the neighbourhoods of Vancouver. They held their first fundraising event at Relish a while back, but chose to hold it on a Thursday which is the night I play volleyball, so I opted out and ended up getting so much flack from everyone that I was guilted into attending last night's event. Well really only 2 people gave me a hard time, I'm just easy like that.
Naturally, a Post event requires Posh attire, so the boys decided to wear suits and I decided to wear a cute Japanese inspired dress that ended up being quite boobie. But since it's a fundraiser for boobs, figured it was appropriate. It was held at the Sylvia hotel downtown. It was fun to see so many people all poshed out and the free booze came in very handy as I was reunited with old co-workers from my Riptown days. Between saying hi to old co-workers, trying to sit to give my toes a rest from breaking in the new stilettos and flirting with the cute boy from GIB, the event was suddenly over. Somehow 3 hrs had disappeared and I hadn't even made it back to my crew that I arrived with - I blame the free beers and lack of food, although they did have a risotto bar which was a pretty decent. I had also missed when Justin won a personal chef for either dinner for 4, a romantic dinner for 2 (I know Ozzie's hoping he'll be asked), or meals for a week. Disappointed that I didn't win anything, my whining was cut short by Justin who promptly asked if I bid on anything in the silent auction. As I confessed I had not, Justin was all too ready with "Well then no, you didn't". Clearly not a friend who sugar coats and gives it to you straight. Walking away sans any winnings aside, it was fun to give my schlepy jeans and t-shirt a break and go out dressed to the nines...especially when randomly running into a cute boy you've been crushing on and you're wearing a boobie dress.
