Weather, schmeather. The looming snow storm didn’t keep dozens of women away from Shepherd’s fashion and accessories store on Tuesday as it played host venue to a private shopping night and fashion show for supporters of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation’s Bust A Move for Breast Health.
The $40-a-ticket benefit was organized by Team BFF. The 14-member group of friends, captained by Krista Kealey and Melissa Shabinsky, is participating in the all-day, large-scale fitness fundraiser happening this Saturday at Shabinsky’s family-owned Ottawa Athletic Club on Lancaster Road. It will feature former NFL player-turned-Bachelor star-turned sports commentator Jesse Palmer, who grew up in Nepean.

Kealey and Shabinsky are co-chairing this year’s Bust A Move with lawyer Trina Fraser of team Legally Pink.
The money raised is going toward a new program to help breast cancer survivors adjust back to normal life. The initiative is called After the Bell, referring to that “hurray” moment when a cancer survivor rings a bell to mark the end of treatment.
“One of the things that became very obvious through dealing with some of the women who’ve gone through breast cancer treatment is that once they’ve rung that bell, after dedicating so much of their life to getting healthy and getting through the treatment, they have a hard time transitioning back to every-day working life or family life,” Kealey told the crowd.

Shabinsky took to the runway with fellow Team BFFs Andrea Gaunt, Susan Margles, Nadine Sabine and Paula Thebarge, who coordinated the event at Shepherd’s location in the Ottawa Train Yards shopping district. The women showed off the hottest spring styles from Joseph Ribkoff, JS Collections, Theia, Nic + Zoe and Sandwich Clothing. Curating the show was Shepherd’s general manager, Samantha Poole.

Anyone there with a bad case of winter hat head could seek help from Eli Saikaley and his team from Water Salon and Spa. Likewise, professional makeup artist Leslie-Anne Barrett was there turning guests from drab to fab. The evening also included silent auction items to bid on and drinks and nibblies to enjoy. Ten per cent of total sales that night were donated to the cause.
