As we start the ramp-up into Breast Cancer Awareness month, prepare to be overwhelmed with an onslaught of pink — both BCA-themed events and pink products.

Highlights included the burlesque antics of Hell’s Belles, as well as fanciful installations with models wearing Leg Avenue lingerie, Tarina Tarantino jewelry, and hair styled by Hairroin Salon. We’ve never seen so many people with bright pink hair in the same place, at the same time. (Yes, the highest-profile pinkhead, Tarina Tarantino, was in the house, as well.) We’re bad at estimating crowds, but there were easily 500 people who showed up to drink liquid nitrogen cocktails, ogle the scantily clad models, and support the cause.

You’ve come a long way, baby!
