Scrolling through the best of the Style Quotient. And no, it’s not just because I’m in it.

Take a look. Thanks again, Paul, for taking such gorgeous photos!

because your photos of Rio are killing me. Wish I were there. Now.

Although I would like to be back in time for the Vancouver Olympics. Please and thank you.

Everything. Zing! Love Julian Louie’s hair, his glasses, his ‘tude.

We raised thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars for the Red Cross on Wednesday. And it was all thanks to those of you who came, volunteered, sponsored and supported Hope in Haiti.

Larissa and Kim, you guys blew my mind. A huge thank you to Barcelona for hosting it.

A huge thank you to all those who helped out at the event: Rica, Rachel, Alexa, Lara, Lib, Kim, Dana, John, Rob, Sonja, Connie, KellyAnn, Michael and Mike. How would we have sold so many t-shirts and tickets without you?

A huge hank you to The WZRDZ, the funnest, funniest band in the world, and Vancouver’s favourite DJ’s: DJ Flipout and DJ Soo.

And a huge thank you to our outstanding auctioneer Gregory Rollo, who helped raise thousands and thousands for things like this autographed Gordie Howe jersey, which I got to wear for a few glorious minutes (photo by SoloLisa, whose hilarious recap of the event you can find here).

Were you there? Did you see the t-shirts everyone was wearing? They’re $30 cdn (plus shipping and handling) and net proceeds go to the Red Cross. So you can feel good about wearing one. Want one? Send me a note at theanthology@live.com.
Thanks to Matt MacEwing for the three photos.
Yes, I’m a little biased, but I think these are the most spectacular t-shirts in the world. They’re gosh darned good lookin’ and they’ll be available for $30 at Hope in Haiti. But the best part? Net proceeds go to the Red Cross.

They even come in dark grey for the gentlemen.
Want to get your hands on one but live in, oh I don’t know, Winnipeg? Send me an email at theanthology@live.com. We’re taking orders.
Sonja, thank you for designing them! You are such a star!
Just try to outbid me at the Hope in Haiti auction Wednesday night. The spa packages, the Opus Hotel in Montreal, the baseball signed by Alex Rodriguez. Yes, that Alex Rodriguez.
I’ve got my eye on them all. Plus, The WZRDZ, DJ Flipout, and DJ Soo will be there. And so will your favourite bloggers.
A few tickets are still available online so get ’em before they’re gone.

This Wednesday, the live and silent auctions at Hope in Haiti are going to be insane — a jersey autographed by 8 million Canucks, a Coach tote, two nights at the Opus Hotel in Montreal, gift certificates to your favourite Vancouver boutiques and so, so, so much more.

Plus, these shoes customized by the lovely Niki of A Haute Mess. It’s guilt-free shopping, really. Because all proceeds go to the Canadian Red Cross’ Haiti earthquake relief efforts.
So buy your tickets now.
Bloggers — we’ll be live blogging the event so if you’d like to geek out for a good cause (and who wouldn’t?) then send me a note at theanthology@live.com.
My very favourite band in the whole wide world played the Orpheum as part of the Cultural Olympiad on Friday. And I’d like to think it was their most memorable show.

Not because I was there sending them creepy superfan vibes, but because during the encore some 200 people stormed the stage, dancing and singing while the few security guards looked on, dumbfounded.

And, good sports that they are, Phoenix kept on playing. It blew my mind.

Where was I during this Phoenix love fest? Do you see that tiny little blur in the top left corner of the balcony? That’s me ): (that’s a sad face).
The first photo is Phoenix’s, the second two are my sister’s.
