An endless source of inspiration and positive energy

We at Mardi-Bras would like to send out a special thank you to Katrina Carrier.


Katrina was an artist and model for last year's event. Her bra was a lovely chain mail creation, composed of thousands of tiny silver handmade links! Even though she is swamped with work, Katrina has found time in her full schedule to once again contribute another wonderful bra to our fashion show this year.

Katrina is an endless source of inspiration and positive energy, she's super enthusiastic and really generous with her time and talents.

We're delighted to have Katrina Carrier back and just want to say "Thanks!"

Looking good, feeling great, fighting cancer!

We're delighted to unveil the latest donations to Mardi-Bras silent auction.

First on the block is a delightful pink ribbon handbag. This stylish denim tote is lined with a pink ribbon pattern and finished with a pink support ribbon. This lovely creation will look good anywhere!

Next is a wonderful pink bow clutch, handmade and also accented with a pink bow. The perfect accessory for a evening on the town.

Both of these bags are from Cherrylicious Designs. Lisa Farinaccio of Cherrylicious Designs is also the person who kindly set up our Facebook event page for us! What a lovely person!

Our other donation is from Odd Bird Designs, who also kindly donated to our event last year. They have given us several charming domino designs that are sure to become one of your favourite jewellery pieces.

Fighting cancer has never made you look so good and feel so great!

Thanks so much to both Odd Bird Designs and to Cherrylicious Designs!

Celebrating 5 Years Free!

Five years is a big milestone for cancer survivors.

When you hit five years, your risk of recurrence is significantly reduced, and many five-year survivors will also see ten years disease free! Doctors schedule appointments further apart, you're back to a more regular exam schedule and your insurance companies start to lighten up. Life becomes a series of "nexts" as opposed to "ifs".

It's a place of relief and a time for celebration!

Anne Campbell, a good friend of Mardi-Bras has just celebrated her fifth year treatment free!!! Congratulations Anne!

Anne is one of life's exceptional people whose good cheer and humour no doubt steered her into such a wonderful recovery. The sentiment on her anniversary party invitations gave me such a warm fuzzy I had to share it:

A hair prosthetic named Osmond: $800.00
Shawls, wraps and raglan sleeved tops: $75.00
Pink socks and T shirts: $50.00
Registration fee to walk for the cure: $40.00
Friends who helped me through the journey and continue to help me celebrate: Priceless

Congratulations to Anne and all of the 2009 Five-Year Survivors!

Kropserkel - correcting the course of our entire social structure on the planet Earth.

New this year we have the talent and enthusiasm of Kropserkel contributing a bra to the show.

Without giving away the surprise, this one is very topical to some big news at Kropserkel. They've acquired the rights to the very classic Metropolis Robot! (SWEET!)

A Canadian-based creative studio serving the entertainment industry and private clients with physical artifacts, Kropserkel is a creative workshop that designs and fabricates props, costumes, and other curiosities. Their licensed Metropolis Robot, the 'Maschinenmensch' will be completed later this year.

Their rather impressive credits list includes fan favourites like Battlestar Galactica and Resident Evil: Apocalypse!







Thank you so much Kropserkel!

Two more wonderful silent auction donations!

Mardi-Bras has two more wonderful silent auction announcements to make.

Adrian Kuzyk, a wood craftsman, has kindly donated this lovely salad bowl. It's made from maple wood, is hand turned and has a walnut oil finish. The bi-coloured bowl will be perfect for those salad days!

Next, J. Paul Ionine is a ceramic and lithographic artist, who created this lovely white porcelain bustier. It has mother of pearl finished panels and is accented with pink ribbon, and has been plaque mounted and dated.

Plus, ten percent of the final bid for this wonderful one-of-a-kind piece will be matched and donated to the Grimsby Rotary Foundation for World Health Issues!

Thank you to both Adrian Kuzyk and J. Paul Ionine!

That's Incredible!

The Mardi-Bras silent auction has another incredible donation: A signed NFL football from Fran Tarkenton, who is a former professional football player and television personality.

This generous and one-of-a-kind item was kindly donated by Wolf and Monika von Brisinski, who are business partners of Fran Tarkenton.

Fran Tarkenton was a quarterback, who played with the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Giants. For those non-sports types, you probably know Tarkenton's name from being a co-host of That's Incredible and a commentator on Monday Night Football.

This pigskin is sure to be one that football fans and television fans will want to get their hands on!

Thank you very much to Wolf and Monika von Brisinski!
