MINI Coopers, the only vehicles as cool as Vespas, weren’t the only sexy models on display at MINI Yaletown last Thursday night…
Angela, Pamela, Sandra, Rita, Monica, & Erica
Clad in swimwear by celebrated designer Anna Kosturova (whose in demand creations have donned countless famous bodies and the cover of Sports Illustrated, bikini models swept the dealership’s runway as Peroni- drinking guests were stunned with the visions before their eyes.
Stealing my attention was a familiar color, YSL #49 …

I then noticed something going on in a private back room…
Karl and Allan of 2 Chefs And A Table were grilling up a storm...
Blue Crab Tartar with mango, jicama, & chiles.
Mini Steak Sandwich - pineapple marinated & grilled Triple A Beef with papaya salsa.
Pacific Tuna Poke - Long Line Tuna, cucumber, chiles, & Shanghai Chips.
Jerk Chicken Sliders - traditional roasted polderside chicken with orange salsa.
Roasted Prawn Cocktail with pineapple BBQ sauce.
But back to the sought-after MINI. Why are they so coveted?
- Piece of cake to park
- Maneuverable beyond belief
- Preferred by Italians/up-to-the-minute fashion hounds
- Cute & petite with surprisingly spacious front seats
- Wrappable in chic patterns, like Missoni
- Available in hot colors, like YSL #49,as seen above.

Bikini models' final strut.

DJ spinning hits like, 'Turn Me On' by Kevin Lyttle.
The perfect, packed party to cap off summer.
A hand-delivered gift box invitation (bearing a mini MINI Yaletown towel) was the early sign of a knockout party. The sea of guests and appies were the second, and the neon orange Native Shoes as a parting gift was the last.
Thank you, MINI Yaletown.
