SUITING FOR SUCCESS

Our friends need your help! The lovely owners of Funk Your Junk (a Capital Oh favourite) have been backing an initiative called "Suiting for Success" and we want to help them out. As the awesome Ottawa civilians we know you are, we know you can do it! They are looking for donations of items such as new socks, pantyhose/tights and ties to make for complete outfits. Suiting for Success has been collecting new and used blazers, skirts, pants and shirts for over a year to help out those who need to look extra sharp for things like job interviews or loan applications. Who said you had to spend a lot of money to look great? One man's trash is another's treasure, but you already knew that. So, let's do what we can to give back to those who need it - Capital Oh urges you to get in the holiday spirit and give back to the community. We definitely will! All donations can be dropped off to Funk Your Junk at 110 Parent Avenue in the Byward. The goal is to reach over 100 donations by the end of the month, which is already being greatly surpassed. Let's do it up! - J

HOORAY FOR BOOBIES: SLAYSH

Any event where there's cupcakes in the shape of boobies is my kind of event. In fact, any event where there's cupcakes period is my kind of event. Hooray for Boobies was a silent auction in support of the Keep ABreast Foundation. Local artists decorated casts of their breasts and they all looked incredible. Quite a few of them went for over $200! S, a starving student, could not unfortunately bid on a cast, however she did win a free sweater! Awesome night. ♥ U Slaysh. - S

Hooray for Boobies!

Last Friday, Sarah and I embarked on yet another day of explorations in this beautiful capital city of ours, and we came across a store called Slaysh. We noticed they had hand painted casts of multiple breasts in the window, so we decided to ask what they were all about.

Turns out, Slaysh will be holding an auction in support of Keep A Breast Foundation at their store on Bank Street, this Thursday starting at 8:00pm. The items up for auction? The painted breast casts, created by Canadian artists! These pieces of art are super cool, and you won't feel guilty for the purchase at all. Great art for a good cause, what could be better?

The evening will be filled with shopping, music by DJ Matt Tamblyn, Slaysh giveaways, refreshments, cupcakes and even boobie truffles - sweet! See you all there! - J
