calendar girl

Hi,
I have finally hit the big time, I'm a calendar girl. My picture is now part of the 2012 line up in the West Coast Swing Dance Calendar..... what do you mean you don't have a copy?

My friend Julie is the creative genius behind this production. She is a driving force in the West Coast Swing dance community in Toronto and southern Ontario. Julie also is a huge supporter and fund raiser for CAMH (Centre of Addiction for Mental Health in Toronto). The woman is a real 'doer' when it comes to supporting her cause for mental health awareness and facility availability. Julie produced this 'dance calendar' to high light the dance community and it's events around Toronto, Southern Ontario and the major dance events held in the USA. Did you know you could swing dance  somewhere in North America every day of the week? Lessons, events, special productions, it's all there on her list.... and my picture!

I'm "Miss June", appropriately since my birthday is in June and the photo was taken in June at last years' "Liberty Swing" event in New Brunswick, New Jersey (not in the Canadian province of the same name... totally confusing on both sides of the border when you talk about "New Brunswick"). I have to admit I'm not alone in this photo. It's of a whole bunch of Canadian dancers who came down for the swing party/competition. I just happen to be front and center in the shot. Hey, it's my first time on a calendar so I'm making the most of it.

Julie was kind enough to send me a copy but if anyone wants one of their own (even though the first quarter  of the year is almost over) I know she'd be thrilled to sell you one... I may even be able to get you a preferred rate at this point, with an autograph and maybe a dance lesson thrown in for good measure.  She teaches every Tuesday at the Dovercourt... no partner required, let me know if you want further info.

Even if I'm not Betty Grable I'm very happy to make it into my first calendar. I just hope I don't get cut in the 2013 edition. The competition is pretty stiff out there. Look out Victoria Secret models, I'm on the move.
