1) "The Dong Show" Art Exhibition
In support and celebrating Calgary’s annual Pride week, Stoneworx Gallery at Art Central put together an art exhibition: “The Dong Show”, which will run through the month of September.
As the name implied, “The Dong Show” is an exhibition of “male extravaganza” in various art forms: paintings, photography, sculpture, and woodwork are all seen in this exhibition.
Tonight was the opening night of the art exhibition, and many guests attended to get a glimpse of the male anatomy (in an artistic way). Our local fashionista Domingo was the guest bartender tonight. He poured wine and made specialty drinks for guests to enjoy along with some delicate catering snacks.
Guest bartender: Domingo
The famous “Dong Show” poster boy Bradley Swayze from SHIFT Model was also there to meet and greet along with fab PR/artist Sabrina May. It’s always nice to see familiar faces in an event such as this one, like the lovely ladies from blog: Insert Calgary. I got to know them better this time, and I am sure I will be seeing them more and more in future events.

“The Dong Show” showcased artwork from five local artists: Doug McKinnon, Lisa Heinricks, Daniel Audet, Tobias Luttmer and Alicia Hoogveld. I was especially drawn to Alicia Hoogveld’s photography work. The work contained female body forms with strap-on wrapped around the thighs. I think it played well with the theme of gender equality that females take on the role as a male. It also gave me the sense of male dominance being represented by the female anatomy. Alicia said this collection of work was her first time working with nude models. She is definitely building an interest working with the human body and will continue to explore this aspect in photography.
Photographer: Alicia Hoogveld
Leather bracelets and unique belt buckle/accessories designed by Lisa Heinricks were also quite interesting. Bradley Swayze was asked to model some of the buckles on the spot :)
As the night goes on, the gallery began to get crowded. Anyone who is interested, the exhibition will continue to run in September:

2) Burberry Body Eau de Parfum & the Nude Line
KO on assignment for Binzento Vincente September first two thousand and eleven in Burberry Chinook Centre for the launch of the Burberry Body Eau de Parfum and the Nude line that complimented the fragrance launch. The fragrance which is a lovely feminine floral scent contains notes of peach, iris, and predominantly rose. The EDP comes in a 30ml, 50ml and 100ml ranging from $75-$115 CDN. From the Nude line, Stephanie tried on the Lace Trench which looked stunning on her. The cut is traditional, but the lace make this piece a real statement coat for Fall 2011. The Nude line was released today at the Calgary Chinook location, and more pieces from the collection will be arriving in days to come.

I personally fell in love with the Single Breasted Structured Jacket from the London Fall collection, because the nude line seemed to wash me out.
