Rouge over Robson, a benefit for the Friends For Life Society and A Loving Spoonful, raised over $5000 for the cause on Thursday, November 29th at the Pacific Palisades Hotel in a holiday gift show, live and silent auctions, wine and a taste of Spanish music all wrapped up with a red ribbon.

The event, organized by the Hotel’s Linda Chin, had Thursday night Ginger 62 resident DJ G-Luve spin the music while sponsors Alisa Usher, Curt van Ardenne and Rachel Davis from Clarins Canada provided $5 mini-makeovers for attendees. Layla Jaffer, owner of the Bling by Layla jewlry line, organized the Christmas buying at the event while those present moved between the Merengue, Flamenco and Calypso rooms of the hotel to bid on silent auction items.
