This years partial funds raised went to our most insprational friend Janelle Hughes who unfortunately lost her fight last year. Samantha Rae was lead painter with Jenn Little as her assistant this year. Both are pictured centre bottom row (Sam on L, Jenn on R) .

It was an amazing evening of very high brow elegance and amazing Body Art. This years competition was outstanding. The level of artistry from the contestants was just jaw dropping. I didn't expect to win, as I had won last year, but I was wonderfully surprised when I was selected once again as the winner. It was a very close competition and my artist friends Lucie Brouillard and Jen Little came in 2nd and 3rd place as well. Here are the detailed pics from the night.
