It was a rather fabulous February for those who like fun, fashion, food and fundraising. And you really had to be there to see it to believe that women and a few men wouldactually arrive at Bamboo Beach in Chicxulub by 9 a m to get a good table for the 10 o’clock show sponsored by Olga and Charly.
By that time,the Lebanese beauty – the fashion queen of expats, local residents and winter visitors – had assembled her colourful and chic collection, inventive food was being whipped up by Charly and staff and the raffle tables were loaded with donated gifts.
Restaurant gift certificates, hand crafted jewelry, leather hat and bag and much more – all gathered by a team of volunteers with proceeds going to the Chicxulub Food Bank.
The fun? Well, that gathered momentum as people settled in to get ready for a good time.
No one really knows who had the first drink of the morning with the two complimentary drinks offered with the ticket……and we’re not talking coffee.
But as soon as the beat blasted out, and with audience clapping, the models took over the scene. And they punched up the fun even more.
Kudos to Charly for authentic Mayan dips and spreads and a Mayan dessert. The strawberry cheesecake was divine, dahlings.
