The Kitty Card Holiday Soirée

Words by Brooke Takhar. Above photo by Andrea Warner.

Last Tuesday night if you happened to hear a girly roar out over the city, it was most likely the pretty partygoers attending the Kitty Card’s Holiday Soiree down in Yaletown. Tucked into one of the chicest high rises, the room we gathered in was gorgeous and oh so glamorous with the décor, party favours and even the edible goodies done up to match the pink and black of the Kitty Card colour scheme.

The Kitty Card, launched in September, is a must-have ladies-only membership that gets you entry (and discounts!) to Vancouver’s most glamorous salons, spas, boutiques and bistros. An offshoot of Glam City Girls, a social group (think Sex in VanCity) and over 500 ladies strong, the Kitty Card wants to help make you, you, and you become the beautiful people. With plans to expand to other North American cities, President Lexie Lamour spoke excitedly of future events she has up her sleeve, “Chocolate parties, girls-only private parties… basically those kind of events where you feel like you’ve stepped into a movie.”

Everywhere you looked Tuesday night was wham bam thank you glam! Express manicures, shoulder and foot massages, MAC makeovers and the most adorable and scrumptious nibbles (candy buffet! Tiny pink cupcakes! Champagne in beautiful decanters!) to munch and sip on in between complimenting every girl on their fabulous dress/shoes/hair etc.

As my best girly friend and I left arm in arm, faces glowing with fresh looks, fingers sticky with sugar and our head full of champagne bubbles, we had an extra kick in our step now that we’re proud owners of the Kitty Card.
