BAM! is a great party for a meaningful cause!
We (Tanya Huang and Erin Leach) have an autoimmune condition called alopecia areata, which causes hair loss. Recently we both made big strides embracing what we have (see video above!) and we really want to improve the outlooks of people living with alopecia. This party marks our first step towards this goal.
We've partnered with Suki's Hair Salon, who loved that this cause is so personal to us, to provide you a hair and bow tie fashion show (since Tanya is a neckwear designer at Knot Theory).
We've also invited two bands, whom Erin loves: Their There and Dogwood & Dahlia, to perform for the night!
100% proceeds go to non-profit org called BAM! (Bold Alopecia Movement).
We hope you can join us!

HAIR AND BOW TIE FASHION SHOW
The night will start with a spectacular hair and bow tie fashion show, presented by both male and female models. The show will feature to-die-for-hair by the hair mavens at Suki's (They are more affordable than you think!) and summer-ready bow ties by Knot Theory (Vancouver design house currently seen in the June issue of GQ UK). Will there be clothes too? Yes. (We know what you're thinking. It is not the Chippendales! Though it could be if you stay long enough ;)) Styling by talented wardrobe stylist Nicolette Lang-Andersen!
We'll have a bow tie tying contest. Start practicing tying a bow tie like a pro and win prizes!

LIVE MUSIC
Two incredible bands! Their There and Dogwood & Dahlia are among Vancouver's best with their exciting energy and live performances! They've already gained a strong following locally, and we think you will fall for them fast.
Their There is the perfect blend of rock, folk, and indie pop. They have gained much attention for their exciting and captivating live shows, and their album, Familiar Skin, is an absolute must have! These incredibly talented gentlemen create the most amazing energy with their wide array of instruments, and they'll have you up off your seat dancing in no time!
Their There just came back from Japan! Watch this clip and see how fun it is to watch them perform live!

The release of their much-anticipated full length album is just around the corner! D&D creates fun and excitement whereever they go and they will play their way right into your heart.

THE CAUSE
100% of the proceeds go to a non-profit organization called BAM!, Bold Alopecia Movement. Alopecia is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks its own hair. It can happen to anyone at any age, and affects about 2% of the population (About 140 million people worldwide). In the most severe form, all hair is lost, including eyebrows, lashes, body hair. BAM!'s mission is to help people with alopecia feel confident the way they are.
