It’s for sure.

Canadian Cancer Society

Tit-Elation – A fundraising event for the Canadian Cancer Society in support of Breast Cancer Research is a go! Saturday October 23 from 630 pm to midnight, join us at Ex Nihilo Vineyards for this titillating evening that celebrates all things boobage: bras, breasts or prostheses in all its forms.

I have not heard much publicly about the emphasis of sensuality while having Breast Cancer or being a survivor. It is understandable that a woman’s confidence in her sensual self is affected and that their connection to the seductive side of themselves is impacted. I am so thrilled that this partnership is happening and will bring this issue to the forefront. Kudos to Decoa and Jeff for their vision and community spirit! If you would like to get involved in this event as a sponsor, please contact Decoa at decoa@exnihilovineyards.com.

Breasts in all forms, everywhere, unite!

I am really excited to announce that the Okanagan Erotic Art Show will go ahead in 2010. Jeff and Decoa Harder, partners in Ex Nihilo Vineyards are also art lovers – from their website: “On their first holiday together to Napa Valley and the Bay area, Jeff and Decoa came across the sculpture of Ex Nihilo at an art gallery in San Francisco. They immediately fell in love with the carving of Ex Nihilo and its translation, a Latin word meaning ‘out of nothing.’ Frederick Hart’s original Ex Nihilo, depicting creation, adorns the west façade of the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, DC.” The winery itself is beautiful, there are pics on their website. The show will be in the Tasting Room and the Barrel Room and a few events are also lined up to spice things up during the show. We hope one more partnership, to be announced, will be very exciting and relevant to the idea of sensuality and eroticism.

Show dates will be October 14th to November 9th, just after Winefest. Deadline for submissions will be September 25th. The Call to Artists will be coming out today so stay tuned!

As a service to the vendors who signed up for the Xtream Fantasy Sex Show, and because Natasha was using my website as her own for vendor and sponsor contacts, I am going to publish updates to the situation as it progresses. Here is a story on castanet – http://www.castanet.net/edition/news-story-54164–.htm#54164. I thought it was a very good article, well represented, thank you to Rachael Kimola for such a great story!

Please pass around to any other vendors you know who were to be participating and may not know of what’s happened. The last known contact with Natasha was the week of the 19th of April. If Natasha contacts anyone, please let her know the seriousness of her actions. If she says she has a new venue, please ask what it is – if it is in Kelowna I can go verify, or if in Vernon or elsewhere, one of us can, I am sure. The rcmp file  # is 10-8275 and the officer is Christian, phone 250-545-7171.

Once I know of a new venue for the art show, I will also publish an update. I have decided if I do not have one by May 31, then I will close this portion of the Okanagan Erotic Art Show, refund everyone, whether they were successful in the jurying or not, and start over.  If you know of a good fit, please contact me. The artwork is amazing and beautiful and thought provoking.

Another update – earlier this afternoon I saw that Castanet was in touch with Natasha – http://www.castanet.net/edition/news-story-54209-1-.htm#54209. At least Natasha has turned up. She has a chance to make this right. Let’s hope she does.
