Cleavage, stilettos and afros, oh my!

Nena and I love it when we get the chance to support women outside the doors of Secret Drawers Lingerie as well as inside, and this event: Big Hair, Low Cut Dresses, High Heel Shoe Party, was the perfect example.

We got to spend the evening eating canapés, drinking, flirting with the barmen and dancing with beautiful women of all sorts all against the breathtaking views of the Schooner restaurant in Tofino on Vancouver Island. We kicked up our heels inside the rich interior and outside on the deck - so much so that the neighbourhood dogs decided to join in to the revelry with their barking.

Women came baring stilettos, plunging necklines and hair teased to within an inch of its life. The heels might have been removed for dancing but the daring cleavage was on display all night.

Mare Bruce, the hostess of this bash and owner of the Schooner restaurant, looked stunning in a copper gown and attracted attention all night long. She was celebrating her 55th birthday but the way she and the rest of us giggled and gallivanted you could have sworn we were a group of twenty-year-olds.

We cavorted into the wee small hours of the morning, but still found the energy to wake up to a spectacular breakfast and another appearance from our hostess.

We spent the afternoon meandering between downtown galleries and shops amid the surfers, families and tourists. Our day ended withe the sun on our face and the sand between our toes looking out over the blue-green Pacific Ocean.

We'd like to say a big thanks to Mare Bruce, the Schooner, and all the women who proudly bared their hair, heels and decolletage. These lively women, in this lovely place, simply left us wanting more.
