Cirque du Soleil Kooza, Burberry at Holt Renfrew, HMCS Vancouver

A look back on this hot and steamy month reveals a July filled with excitement and special events. Whether it was breaking out the barbecue with friends, the celebration of 100 years of Canada’s naval forces, or the star-studded premiere of Cirque du Soleil’s big top production of Kooza, North Shore faces were in all [...]

Lion King at QE Vancouver and Harrison Resort

Spectacular – it’s the one word that best describes this week’s two fabulous features. First up, it was the premiere of Disney’s Broadway award winning musical “The Lion King”. Replete with elaborate costumes and stunning sets, not to mention the music/lyrics of Elton John and Tim Rice, this show is absolutely worth the price of [...]

Whistler Film Fest Gala, Zac Efron and more

The Whistler Film Fest is celebrating their 10 year anniversary this year – and what better way than with their annual gala fundraiser called “Soiree”.

Mark Madryga does the Twitterbug

Do you believe in the power of Twitter. Witness the exchange between Global BC TV morning news anchor Lynn Colliar and Catherine Barr as it yields hilarious results when weatherman Mark Madryga performs a little Irish Jig with the help of Riverdance star Michael Flatley in honour of St. Patrick’s Day 2009.

Dancing with the Stars First Impressions

Truth is, I really don’t get a chance to watch much television and when I do, I really don’t want to waste my time with so-called “Reality TV”. But being a former dancer (and dance teacher) I’ve got to admit that, after several seasons of changing the channel, “Dancing With the Stars” has actually managed [...]

James Bond, Scotches and Watches and 100.5 The Peak Radio Vancouver

This week’s wrap has something for the spy in all of us. On Saturday, the Vancouver Club played hos to the Jet Set Crew and their James Bond 007 Martini Party. DJ Timka, direct from New York’s Buddha Bar, put down the sounds as Octopussy, Odd Job and other sexy villans strutted their stuff. A [...]
