The photo you see here was taken on June 23rd , 2011 , at the end of a very special journey.  A journey that began three months to the day of the photo-shoot. During that time I had lost 25lbs as a result of a “weight-cut”. I had started taking boxing class for fitness about eleven months before. As I got more fit the idea of fitness modelling and perhaps one day competing in an amateur boxing match entered my mind. So, I decided to try a weight cut that professional athletes go through. Primarily, I really wanted to see if I had the mental strength and to gain confidence in myself. I wanted to confirm that I can do whatever I put my mind to. I wanted to experience the extreme measures and sacrifices that it would take to do it successfully. In the end I succeeded!  I never imagined how satisfying and euphoric it would feel to finish this incredible journey, with all of the highs and lows you could imagine.
  Your dresses made me feel like a beautifull woman and really complimented how I feel inside! I can’t wait to do it all over again!

Thank you for the amazing story and picture, Sayuri!!

I went to an art opening at 80 Spadina last nite , with an amazing exhibit by Paula John called ‘Out of Darkness’. She made the quilt shown here with silkscreens of her psychiatric medical records from when she was a teenager. Sewn on top of the quilt are the words ‘Art Is My Therapy’ in clear plastic bubbles filled with pills.I have taught LOTS of people to silkscreen, but this is one of the most interesting results. Check it out if you can… the exhibit is on until June 25th in suite 208

Here is our totally cute new co-op student (all the way from Paris, France!) modeling our NEW silk patched and beaded t-shirts!! Sooooo perf for summer and everyone (of course!!) is different!! Call to order, only $39 each !! xoxoxo
