SUMMER 2008
Here it is our second issue, I can finally breathe. I’ve been holding my breath since I left my first handful of Parlour magazines at Foosh on Whyte Avenue. It was at that moment that I realized I was showing the world my dream, and it was scary. There it is, I thought, 10 000 copies making their way around the city. I sure hope people like it. And somehow my little magazine made its way to Newfoundland and New York City. I kept thinking – ready or not here we go, hopefully people believe in it so we can grow and create a second issue. It’s one thing to have this dream, but will other people believe in it? Since the first issue came out, I’ve been asked the same question, “How did you come up with the idea for Parlour?” I’ve thought about it a lot, and what I’ve come up with is this – I’m inspired by people, by the art they produce, and the stories they tell. When I discover someone or something I love, I want to share it with the world. Parlour is my way of sharing all the new things that excite and colour my life with you. When I first heard Dragonette ( page 17 ), I fell absolutely in love with their sexy sound and no-hold-back attitude. I played Galore, their debut album, everywhere – in the car, at the office, in my living room. I was fanatical. And when they came to Edmonton to play a show at the Starlite room, the first thing I said when I met them was, “I’m like your biggest fan!” I was a total groupie, in the most unoriginal way. I was that starry eyed, giddy, slightly tipsy girl gushing all over the band. I may have appeared foolish, but I walked away with their phone number. And sometimes it’s the little things people say and do, an off-hand remark that reminds me why we work so hard to produce our magazine. Like the conversation I had with Keith Wyatt, playwright of Anime ( page 15 ), over a cappuccino at Leva on a sunny afternoon, we were talking about what motivates us and he busted out this gem, “inspired to express; express to inspire”. I left our date refreshed and with a sense of purpose. I was confident that I was in the right place at the right time, doing exactly what I was meant to be doing. Our summer issue is about being inspired. All around us things are growing, blossoming, and blooming. Summer is the ultimate work of art. It’s the time for all of us to shine. So, do what you’ve always wanted to do, express yourself, and share yourself with the world. Be inspired. And inspire.

Rosalind Christian, the lovely propietress of Eden Lilly Flower and Gift on Whyte Avenue and 104th Street, wants you to know she really cares about what she’s doing, she’s trying really hard, and she’s doing something really special. If you don’t believe her, look at the tattoo on her forearm – the old English letters C A R E. Really. Rosalind and her husband (then boyfriend) Patrick Michalok opened Eden Lilly in October of last year. The couple met in Detroit where Rosalind played keys in Patrick’s band, The Silent Years (Spin magazine’s Underground Band of the Year 2007).

Kink, curl or wave. Let summer inspire your hair. Whatever your hair does naturally, let it. The key this season is to look like you just got out of bed, washed your hair, let it air dry, and it’s perfect. Sound impossible? All you have to do is help your waves come to life. Toss your head upside down and scrunch your heart out using a touch of light hold hairspray. Throw it up in a loose pony or pin it at random. Organized chaos is the main ingredient in looking great this summer. Bumble and bumble Surf Spray and Spray de Mode are essentials to create your effortless look with versatile hold.

Beauty guru Nicola Gavins of Cherry Blossom Makeup Artistry tells us that, “it’s like you spent a day at the beach, not a month.” You don’t have to ditch your bronzers, just use them with a lighter touch. Picture a lazy day at the beach, lovers squinting at each other through veils of lashes, freckled noses, salty kisses, and flushed cheeks. It’s a virtual flight of whimsy featuring shell pink, moonlit platinum, sun-washed gold, and pebble grey. And to translate this daydream into an evening out, glam it up with a flash of colour, be bold with a splash of electric blue on the eyes, or an acrid orange lip. The ethereal colour palette of the day is the perfect canvas for a hit of high drama. Nicola recommends MAC Face and Body Foundation to keep skin looking flawless and hydrated morning to night. And this seasons must-have, don’t-leave-home-without item? Sunscreen, And lots of it.
