Just ask Sophie and her boyfriend, Oliver. Waiting patiently for their smoothies….
Saying ‘please’ as the drinks come into view…..
Yum! Now it’s time to settle down and enjoy the story.
We know we have so many cute clients (yes, parents, you’re included!).
Sons and Daughters, a new high-end kids eyewear company will be launching soon and they are looking for models ages 3-10. They have taken inspiration from icons of the past to cater to icons of our future with utmost class, quality and of course, style. The frames are high quality hand-made Italian acetate with complete UV protected CR-39 lenses that meet the highest international safety standards.
Models will be paid in product, unless they have an extensive commercial/print portfolio. Kids that are represented by agencies and have modeling experience or a background in acting can be paid $50 an hour for minimum of 2 hours.
Dandelion KIDS can’t wait to have these glasses in stock next spring!

Is the moon blue?
It must be, because Jane Photo is seeking a Fresh Faces newborn model to try out some new props. Is your little gal going to be between 3-10 days old in the next month or so? Drop Jane an email at: info@janephoto.ca (info null@null janephoto NULL.com).
The session will be a mini session, just geared towards trying out new props. As a thanks for posing, Jane waives her session fee and offers an 8” x 10” print!

Our good friends Karri and Nico just had their restaurant Chambar (http://www NULL.chambar NULL.com/) featured on VancouverIsAwesome.com (http://www NULL.vancouverisawesome NULL.com), in their ‘Home Grown’ section. Chambar really needs no introduction, as they’ve been a hit since they opened their doors in 2004 in the Crosstown area of Vancouver, on Beatty Street.
And of course, who could forget our favourite breakfast spot, their cafe… Medina Cafe (http://www NULL.medinacafe NULL.com/) (located right beside Chambar). Best coffee and lemon meringue pie in town! And if that couldn’t be enough goodness, they recently opened a cooking school called Dirty Apron (http://www NULL.dirtyapron NULL.com). Now you can learn how to make that tagine at home. AND if that wasn’t enough… they also have their own Chambar Ale. Cheers Karri and Nico!

We are so pleased that our lovely friend Erin has realized her dream! Her new retail shop and workshop space, Collage Collage (http://www NULL.collagecollage NULL.ca), opening on Saturday, September 12 (Join the party from 1-4 in the afternoon!) in East Vancouver, is light-filled and airy. A perfect space for everyone who would like to engage with the arts, find inspiration and explore contemporary works through workshops and classes. A long wooden table dominates the space, inviting creativity and collaboration. It is a place to find some art supplies, a story book, a small sculpture or a new pair of scissors – and that hardest to find of necessary art items – a good pencil sharpener!
We have had the pleasure of having Erin lead a Halloween-based craft workshop at dandelion KIDS that was enjoyed by all, the results of which made up one of our most beautiful and spooky window displays! And long ago, when he was in preschool, Stefanie’s son Jasper, was seriously enamored of Erin after she led several art classes. Her education in the fine arts and her gentle approach will ensure that participants of her workshops will be inspired to create and learn, over and over again.
We can’t wait to sign up!

Victor and his wife Julia are long time supporters and clients of dandelion, (Victor is also my hairstylist and now Stefs too!). Victor was just interviewed on a local cycling blog, talking about his love of cycling and hairstyling. It’s great to see our friends getting this kind of great coverage and wanted to spread the word.
From Bespoke:
Victor Cuevas Jr, owner of Rain City Bikes is almost certainly Vancouver’s ‘new man’. Not only does he own Vancouver’s nicest city bikes, he also sports Vancouver’s nicest hairstyle. It helps that he owns Rain City Salon and Rain City Bikes – a strange, but prescient combination. Victor is a familar face riding around Vancouver, tie and hair in the wind on his luxurious Dutch bike. As a hair stylist, Victor has the advantage of seeing things from outside of the box. In fact, what was missing in his eyes was nothing more than a box, in this case, the popular Bakfiets (literally: box-bike) bike which he imports into Canada. Today Victor sells a ton of Euro bikes to regular folks who just want a comfortable, safe, and durable bike that they can wear their regular clothes with. He’s making Vancouver more beautiful one bike – and one hair-style – at a time. Eric Kamphof, editor of bespoke (and a former Vancouverite) conducts the interview.
