Hey ladies, listen up. This one's for you because last week's events were all about pure girl power. First, Women in Film and Video Vancouver (WIFVV) held their annual Spotlight Awards “Femme Fatale” Evening Gala 2007 at the Hycroft mansion. Six outstanding individuals took home honours for their creativity, both on and off the screen, at this elegant "Film Noir" themed night. Then, the trendy autoONE gallery kicked it into high gear for the YWCA and Single Mothers' Services with the opening of CLUTCH, North America’s first female-focused car dealership. This "Rossa Affair" gala, which featured CTV's Keri Adams and Senator Larry Campbell as MC's, helped raise funds from a Ferrari Testarossa Lottery with the goal of collecting over $100,000 for the cause. You go girls!
