I haven’t posted in quite a while… the holidays get pretty crazy for BGP. So, my next few posts, both here and on my new Boudoir Blog, will be highlights of 2011 work that didn’t quite make it on the blog yet : )

The week of Thanksgiving I had the opportunity to help out a great cause. Sweetest Sin and Sugarush hosted a wonderful event, Go Naked & Check Yourself, along with Teak in Red Bank. Raising money for the awareness of detectable cancers, such as breast, testicular and skin cancer, 100% of the door, raffle and auction sales went to The American Cancer Society. The event raised $8,405.00… Unbelievable!

The night was filled with music by This is it Entertainment, fabulous raffle and silent auction items from local Red Bank shops, restaurants, salons and photography studios ;-P  Even the owner of Bikini Barbers raffled himself off (for a date, of course). Models strutted around in Sweetest Sin‘s sexy lingerie selling raffle tickets, and stylists from Bikini Barbers helped pass delicious hors d’oeuvres by Teak and scrumptious cupcakes by Sugarush.

The event was such a success. I know next year’s event will be even better… I can’t wait!

I am so excited for the Go Naked & Check Yourself event this Sunday at Teak with Sweetest Sin Boutique & Sugarush! Contact Sweetest Sin or Sugarush for tickets… come out to support a great cause (awareness for detectable cancers:Breast, Testicular, & Skin) and go home with some fantastic gifts from fabulous Red Bank business!

Voted the “Best Shop” by Best of Intima 2011, Sweetest Sin has a lot to celebrate! With over 350 lingerie stores reviewed in the United States and Canada, and 165 nominees, Sweetest Sin was one of the 29 finalists. This past week Sweetest Sin also celebrated it’s 2 year anniversary, and the recent launch of a brand new website.

Between the Sheets designer, Layla L’obatte came from New York to celebrate with Angie, and showcase her gorgeous line of intimates and loungewear. I can’t wait to do a photo shoot with her collection… LOVE it!

 Complete with door gifts, a corset Cupcake cake from Sugarush, her award in hand, A little bubbly, and fabulous lingerie, Sweetest Sin’s birthday bash was a blast!

Happy Birthday Sweetest Sin!

April showers are upon us, and I thought we could all use a pick-me-up. What better way to celebrate the arrival of Spring than with a showering of gifts. Yes, I will be showering you with beautiful, fun, sexy and pampering gifts this April with the help of a few fantastic friends…
