The 13th annual World’s Worst
Oil Paintings Dinner and Auction
last week attracted a sell-out
crowd to the inviting Robson
Square Conference Centre, which
was decked out in cctorful
streamers and balloons.

Hard to believe that it was 13
years ago thay those two nut-cases,
Dr. Norman Watts and B.C.
Paraplegic’s Bill Goodacre came
up with the idea of collecting the
most ghastly, awful paintings dur-
ing their travels to flea markets,
antique fairs and garage sales
throughout the world.

Together with the brainpower of
MLA Doug Mowatt, UBC's Nor-
man Young and PR man, Fin An-
thony, they have gathered, over
the years, a monumental collec-
tion of terrible trash.

Most of it was exhibited and
auctioned off last Tuesday night, to
folks tike West Van's Bert and Col-
ieen Davies, and CBC-TV’s popu-
lar “Talkabout’’ game show host
and TV star Wayne Cox and his
best gir!, Jeri Janz.

Jeri’s the promotions lady at
Capilano Mall, where the free San-
ta photos are going like the
proverbial hotcakes!...

Siill retained in their permanent
collection are two “important’’
pieces, both from VIP patrons of
the World’s Worst.

Hollywood's Phylis Diller did a
self-portrait entitled Fangless,
while Man In Motions’ Rick
Hansen created a swirl of black
and red oils entitled It’s the Wheel
Thing!...

Also on hand were Alf and
Gloria Magnussen and their three
daughiers, including Olympic
skating champ, Karen, now Mrs.
Tony Cella.

Next Tuesday, Karen will be
honored by the Rotary Club at a
giant luncheon at the Hotel Van-
couver with their Good Skate
Award, the same award that was
just presented co zillionzire,
Donald Trump for his geod works

COCKTAILS CAVIAR

last week...

Ray Dagg and his wife were at
the auction chatting with Sam
Sullivan and Hugh Pickett while
Peter Scott, whose Regency Ca-
terers handled the dinner, busied
himself with last minute details.

The music of the Felix Smalley
Trio added to the evening's en-
joyment... Cheers!

The nose knows ... West
Van’s Colleen Davies,

last week’s World’s Warsi
Oi! Paintings Dinner and Aucticn.
She did, however, come home
with an item from the auction
block ... as did TV star Wayne
Cox and companion feri Janz
(below left}. Famous skater Karen
Magnussen’s parents, Alf and
Gloria, were also on hand, and
are shown below right examining
