And tune in to Virgin 95.3FM tomorrow at noon for my chat with host Simone Grewal about the PinUps For Pink Red Carpet Launch!
The chance to help find a cure for breast cancer and a food photo shoot. These are two opportunities I would never refuse. When Penni Thow, one of the inspirational organizers of the PinUps For Pink calendar asked me to participate as one of the twelve women featured in the project, my enthusiastic response was instant.
Classy and powerful – two words to describe the project, featuring twelve Canadian women who’ve each taken a stand for what they believe in. Our passionate team’s goal is to raise $100,000 and even more awareness about breast cancer.
As pin-ups, we were dolled up by sought-after makeup artists Breianne Zellinsky and Andrea Tiller then outfitted by top stylist Karolina Jez in ensembles to compliment our careers, charities, or passions (in my case, my career and passion – food!). The prop used in my shoot was red and hot – any guesses? Leave a comment!
Penni’s partners in crime (co-founders of this project) are renowned photographer Karolina Turek and creative mastermind Lisa von Sturmer. As for the pin-ups…
