Last night, Toronto’s top nightlife sartorial spotter, Jeff Rustia, host of Club Fashion, hosted his own fashion extravaganza. Every year, the city’s most stylish clamour for an invitation to his exclusive holiday party.  Bernie and I showed up promptly at 7:55pm - just before the doors closed not to be re-opened until midnight.

The Solid Gold theme forced me to do something I never, ever do: reprise an outfit. For last season’s BuyDesign event, I wore the most exquisite vintage gold Halston dress from The Paper Bag Princess. It is simply too beautiful to wear once.

Jeff was all-new and all bling. He wore brand new D&G gold sneakers (which came in a gold box) paired with a gold-painted jacket customized by his stylishly-extraordinary friend, Jefre Nicholls.  Jefre wore an outfit of golden spandex topped with black lace. With everyone in gold and black, the night’s fashion was absolutely decadent.  An in-house makeup artist provided guests with requisite gold makeup highlights and body paint.

Not only were partygoers wearing gold, they consumed it as well. Every kind of gold drink was there - Goldschlager, Gold tequila, and many golden bottles of sparkling wine, lined up behind a circular bar with a gold-painted bartender.  And what party would be complete without a cake? Naturally, this one was divinely gold.

The night’s highlight?  A show, which brought everyone in the room together, where Jeff chose the top twelve best dressed to each sing a part of the “twelve days of christmas”.  The lucky chosen dozen will be treated to a private dinner with the consummate host.  After the stylishly impromptu carol, the beautiful Quinn Burdick  - who started the night in a stunning chocolate brown and gold sari - was revealed in full gold body paint and danced a Bond-worthy  “Goldfinger”. For the finale, two handsome shirtless bodygaurds accompanied Jeff, who showered his gorgeous guests with gold coins. Though the coins were indeed chocolate, we all left the party feeling richer.
