DOWN BEHIND THE OLD SCHOOL.

There truly isn't much I miss about my past or feel sentimental about.

The only exception really is middle school. I feel like while most people have an amazing four years of high school filled with friends, wandering the streets at night, sleepovers, jokes, tears, and emotions you'll remember forever- I had all of that condensed into one year in middle school. 

Today I decided to go on a walk "down behind the old school" and play on the school playground. I realized that while I'm still able to hang upside-down on the monkeybars and climb up the slide, it's a hell of a lot harder being fully grown. They're not kidding when they say "this playground was designed for children aged 5-12." But hey, I loved every second of it. 

It's still fun to play on the playground. I swear. Try it.

MIKHAEL KALE FW13.

As promised, here are some pictures (and a video) I found of myself walking in the Mikhael Kale FW13 show last week.

The number one question I get asked is: "Sonya how did you manage to walk in those shoes?!" Honestly, it wasn't very difficult. The platform is so high that you don't really feel like you're walking on 9" heels! 

I strongly urge you to look through the other pictures from the show, because the designs are seriously so striking and beautiful. I was dying over the dresses on the other models; they are all so detail-oriented and luxurious in a unique way. 

I'm off to a casting now, and also off to enjoy the sunny weather Toronto has graced us with today!

 Last week I had the amazing opportunity of walking in the Mikhael Kale FW13 show, which would also make it my first "real" runway show ever. I feel beyond lucky to have such an experience, as I can honestly say that I would have never, ever imagined it to be a possibility. Being in a room with so many talented, passionate and experienced people is the greatest inspiration I could ever ask for.

Tomorrow I'll post the pictures from the show.

A SIGH OF RELIEF.

I am extremely grateful for everything and everyone in my life. 

 This week I was able to spontaneously buy a ticket to Los Angeles and get my good friend to come with me. If you didn't know, this has been a burning dream of mine for as long as I can remember. 

As if that wasn't enough, I got signed to Plutino this week, which is an amazing modeling agency.

The day I went to their open call, the weather was absolutely terrible. There was a snow storm the night before, but it had all melted, so you were basically forced to walk ankle-deep in water and slush. Of course, Toronto weather is incomplete with disgusting cold wind, so that also accompanied my early morning mission. I also got lost thanks to the accuracy of Google Maps (major sarcasm), and I was on the brink of giving up. When I arrived to greet the agents of Plutino Group, I got signed to them right on the spot. 

Words can't describe how excited I am to be able to work with such dedicated and experienced agents. So this is what I was vaguely saying in my past few blog posts: always start at the top when (inevitably) seeking acceptance. You never know who will believe in you and taking the risk is work it.
