Are you still in need of Christmas gifts?

On Thursday, December 2 at 5:30 p.m. Amacon will kick off the holidays with a Christmas tree lighting at the Vancouver Art Gallery (Georgia Street side). The lighting of the Rockefeller-style 50-foot tree is the largest of its kind in Western Canada and will raise money for a variety of local charities. The event will be emceed by Rock 101’s Bro Jake, with appearances by the BC Lions, the BC Lions Cheerleaders, the Vancouver Giants, the Vancouver Children’s Choir and the guest of honour, Santa Claus. Entertainment acts begin at 5:30 p.m. and there will be a 10-second countdown prior to the lighting of the tree at 6:45 p.m. Fore more information, please see the flyer below.

Last winter, Modern Mix Vancouver featured Lippmann Collection’s Marquee Moon, a glittery, silver nailpolish color reminiscent of a disco ball crossed with holiday tinsel. This year, just in time for the 2010 holiday season, try out Boom Boom Pow, a luxurious nail lacquer with an explosion of glimmering 24-karat gold flecks! A little bit too flashy for everyday wear, but perfect for a fashionable winter party. It’s apparently inspired by Kate Moss, but I think the Black Eyed Peas may have been an inspiration as well! Boom Boom Pow and other nailpolish in the Lippmann collection retail for $24 at Murale at Oakridge Centre and are “big three free” of Toluene, Formaldehyde and Dibutyl Phthalate.
