These two weeks I consider to be the busiest time since a while. On Friday, July 15, This Is London (TIL) had a Cherry theme event, which I made giant Cherries for to hang all over the second floor. TIL is a very exciting venue, to work with as it has London style on the first floor, and really Russian Revolution style on the second, which is now called "Red Square". Here are some shots of Russian Cherry @ TIL Love that grass, so much can be done with it  Bacardi was the sponsor of the event (http://www.bacardi.com/)  Cherries that took me a few hours to hand make Thanks for the help from Cris J. And here are some events coming up this weekend that I am actively working on: Girls Night Out @ TIL (July 22)  - Will be Orange theme with gift -bags (Girls - you don't want top miss it!) Corona Beach Party @ DragonFly (July 22) - Corona sampling, HOT girls in bikinis, lost of beach giveaways Paris in London @ TIL - Nice setting of Paris theme with macaroons an...

This Event took place on May 30, 2011 at the Distillery District.  Griffin Poetry Prize (http://www.griffinpoetryprize.com/) is an annual Poet competition, which gives away the biggest amounts of money for their winners - $65000 each, I believe there are 2 winners every year. Wow, lucky poets! The theme for the event was Middle Eastern with giant arcs, carpets and peacocks. We created a beautiful garden type of environment in the lounge areas of the venue, with the trees and pomegranates which was quite a challenge to put up, but at the end it turned out splendid! I wish I could stay for this event, but I was starting to slowly disappear from the starvation, so I had to go to Woo to get back into my shape, because the food at the Griffins was in the miniature portions, which smelled delicious, but is usually enough for the upscale class event, cause rich poets don't eat much at all. :)  It was an great experience to help decorate that event, as these were the most basis of whe...

Another wonderful event that I helped with was Ascot, that took place on May 28 at Woodbine horse racing pavilion. Ascot is a high end (royal) event on which all the fancy ladies wear crazy hats called "fascinators" and rich men bet on race horses and lose thousands of dollars. It was also a charity event with a silent auction where they were selling all sorts of deals for $10 000,  and the hats that me and my schoolmates made especially for this event. So we also did help to raise some money for the organization called Best Buddies Canada (http://www.bestbuddies.ca/SpecialEvents/TheThrilloftheAscot/tabid/88/Default.aspx). I, as I consider myself one of the "fancy ladies", too wore a crazy hat and participated in betting procedure. I ended up winning $10 and losing a little bit more, but outbet Sinclair (the event organizer, who was in charge of our team) and having tons of fun cheering and yelling for those horses I bet on (I might event have scared a ...
