Pinch me - I must be dreaming. At least that's what I thought last week as diamonds, champagne, battling bars and movie stars made for a celebrity-studded week of fun and fundraisers. Sanafir restaurant's first annual Champagne and Shoes event, which raised money for B.C. Cancer, kicked off the weekend in style. The champagne continued to flow Friday night at the exclusive Steve Nash VIP "Carats" diamond and poker event, held in conjunction with the NBA star's classic basketball fundraiser for kids. Next day, once the bubbly was gone, it was down to Yaletown to judge the Epic Battle of the Bartenders at the Yaletown Street Party. The competition was fierce and picking a fave wasn't easy for us - but fourteen cocktails later, we crowned a winner. Then, for those still standing, Rouge 2007 was the place to be as A-list actors and industry pros danced the night away in support of Women in Film and Video Vancouver (WIFVV).
