PLAYINGINTHESANDBOX

I didn't think it was possible to surpass the amount of excitement I had when Braden, the Creative Editor of SANDBOX magazine, first emailed me about appearing in the Fall issue, but it happened. I was thrilled at the interview, fired up at the shoot, and beyond ecstatic at the party marking the launch of their September Ambition Issue. Oh, and the party? It was half pre-party, half party-at-a-local-nightclub and definitely on a school night, way past my curfew of 7:30PM.

So how'd I managed to go to this event (part of which happened in a nightclub not for the under-aged)? Well for starters, there was no way I was about to miss out on the launch of a magzine I was featured in, especially if it was local. And second, my mom insisted on chaperoning the event. Yeah, I know. Partying with your parents gives you zero cool-kid-creds, but that was just about the only way I was about to go partying on a school night!

Anyways, it was an ace party. I am a sucker for free cheese. Ha, kidding! It was much more than that!

The pre-party was held at Connect Four in the Exchange last Thursday night. The cheese was delish, the wine was free (not that my mom let me near any), and the company was great! I brought my bff Bryce along for moral support and we had fun chatting up fellow Winnipeg bloggers Andrew and Kylie, and meeting new faces. It was fantastic to meet the various talented models, photographers and stylists who contributed to such an amazing magazine.
After the pre-party, we headed over to Mystique. The majority of us girls had a hard time tottering over to the club in massive heels, but it was funny in retrospect. There was also a bit of a mix up in terms of the minors getting in, but with my mother in tow, who needs an ID? Bryce and I didn't stay for very long, but we still had an awesome time dancing around crazily in a mostly empty (apparently, no one goes clubbing until 11PM), very foggy, laser light-y, pulsating nightclub. Perfect way to de-stress on a school night, don't you think?

Lastly, a huge thank you to Braden, Suzy and Jeff for featuring me in their magazine, and for the fun night! SANDBOX is a true gem, featuring some of the most talented, creative, hard-working geniuses from Winnipeg, and I couldn't be any more proud/honoured/thankful to have been a part of it. If you haven't had a chance to check them out yet, then what are you waiting for?! You can visit their website to read my article, and as well as their past issues (they publish online and print quarterly) or, if you're a Winnipegger, grab your own copy at any of these locations.

Last week has been so busy! Seriously so much trauma from all the planning and canceling that has been going on for the past several days...Last minute plans, saying my goodbyes (Bryce is off to England for three weeks, boo) and photo shoots galore!!!

In fact, I was scheduled to do my under-water shoot today (bought a disposable cam and everything) but yesterday's shoot really tired me out. That, and the weather here is forever bipolar, literally making me ditch the pool shoot last minute when the clouds started rolling in.

Anyways, here's a variation of the outfit I wore today while I was out and about with Kylie at the Forks. I would upload the pics we took today if I weren't feeling so lazy/sleepy. Blerrrrrhhh!
Hope your weekend was fabulous!

After many late night chats and ping-pong texts, Kylie and I have finally got together for some good ol' fashioned blogger bonding. We spent the day eating veggie crepes at Kawaii Crepe, doing DIY projects in her amazingly tidy craft room, and taking pictures by the pool.

It was pretty awesome and totally worth the fact that I was half an hour late for my curfew of 7PM. (There was a road block and we got lost)
