It's a double-feature for Hump Day!
Let's start with Sideshow muse Dita Von Teese who made a splash in Toronto this past weekend promoting "Peep", the 21st annual Fashion Cares event. Dubbed the "Burlesque Superheroine" by Vanity Fair, this stripteuse performed her signature moves in a life-size champagne glass filled with bubbly and topped off with a playful cherry as part of her stage act.
She's a spokesperson for MAC Viva Glam VI lipstick, and brought her safe sex message to the masses. All proceeds from "Peep" went to the AIDS Committee of Toronto (ACT), including more than $55,000 raised from the silent auction hosted by HGTV's Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan. As you'd expect from this glamour-puss vixen, she was just as charming and captivating in person; and got the only standing ovation of the evening for her show (it likely had to do with her swinging silver tassels). And if you'd like to support the MAC AIDS Fund, you can pick up Viva Glam lipstick at any MAC store throughout the year.
Next up we've got a little Showcase.ca news--It's our first contest of the season!
