As many know, there’s something mysterious and special about the number 11.
So it’s no surprise that our much-anticipated 11th issue of the magazine, THE F1 CONNEXION EDITION, was bathed in a little extra “je ne said quoi “… our best yet, according to many (thank you for that feedback, warms the heart and means the world!!).
Same goes for our official launch of the special book baby at Jardin Azul and Time Supper Club.
Daring to venture outside of our (my!) comfort zone, we entered into the wild world of F1 Grand Prix Parties and bravely hosted what we’re affectionately calling The F1 Party Starter Launch on the Tuesday before F1 weekend (a mere 10 days ago though it seems more like 110 given how much has transpired since lol!!).
And. sure enough, that magic number 11 energy and magic was in the air as some of the Party City’s most fabulous embraced the out-of-the-box all white Love Lu-WOW theme (yes my crazy idea lol) and sauntered down to the newly reimagined timelessly fun Time for a very memorable “launch time”!
Heck, don’t take our (my) word for it. Feast your eyes on the following rather expansive Social Gal-lery, comprised of professional shots (thank you Christina, Edmond, John, Vas) as well as a generous sprinkling of phone pics (thank you Rach lol, you killed it on Socials!).
In closing, it was a night many of us will remember for a longgggg time to come (especially yours truly!) and would never have come to fruition without the incredible humans and talents who supported it and brought their A-game along with much love and humour (TG for that!!) including the likes of next-level event partners TIME GROUPE; JARDIN AZUL; REV COMMUNICATIONS (led by mountain moving PR power queen TUTI DO!!); MCLAREN MONTREAL: LULUTHIA DESIGN; KASTALLIS (brain baby of visionary soul bro, WESS!); HAUTE BALLOON; TOALA; MESSIKA; BIJOUTERIE ITALIENNE; CELEBRATIONS;THE MASTER THAT IS DJ MAJESS; EARTH RATED; ISMI; and LE FOTO BOOTH; as well as Bubbles partner CLINIQUE- K / DR. KARL SCHWARZ; Spirits partner AUPALE VODKA; Hydration partner GLOW PREMIUM BEVERAGES; Special Giveaway partners MESSIKA, BIJOUTERIE ITALIENNE, and DE LONGHI; and, last but so far from least, our beloved purveyors of insanely good food and treats (LIKE WOW!): A LA TABLE; BLISSFUL BROWNIES; DAVIDSTEA; MANDY’S SALADS; O’LOVE CAKES; PATISSERIE MAHROUSE; QUARTIER PERSE; SQUISH; and YES, PLEASE COOKIES. (People could not get enough!!!! Soul food galore!)
Finally, honourable mention must also go to the inside dreamiest team including the mother of all mothers and humans, gorgeous Gail “Mama Diary” Campbell who is as tireless as she is innovative and hands-on; absolutely sublime Sydney Goldstein (a true warrior who pulled far more than her weight along the wild journey to publication and the night-of alongside her wonderful sister Halle!); the social media maestro who always saves the day, KATRINA 911 LORENZETTI; the beauty bestowing sanity saving ever there Charlotte Marie Flannery (makeup magician!), the glow goddess extraordinaire CRYSTAL ESTEVEZ of NOUV TANNING fame, who literally dropped everything to spray me her perfect way, and that nugget of a deliciousness, Sonia Chi Chi Price, who insisted on being there as early as possible to do all she could to help pull off another winner.
