baby you were born to styyylllle. (sorry. i know. i spend a lot of time alone now, and this is what my head does when it's left to it's own devices).
on thursday, katie and i filled ourselves with sushi, and then made a night out of aveda's born to style competition - four finalists, who had submitted videos of themselves and were chosen to come to the aveda institute, and display their talents in front of the judges. the winner walked out with a full scholarship to the aveda institute in vancouver.... think, top chef, but for hair. and with better outfits. and wine.
not really sure what to expect, we showed up to be escorted in, coats taken, and offered hand massages and some drinks. without even seeing hair, we looked at one another, and did silent fist pumps for deciding to attend. once the show got down to business though, we smartened up, and acknowledged that we hadn't even touched the tip of the iceberg.
by the end of the night, bobbi-jo cronk went home with a full scholarship... and well deserved.

judges (from left to right) Anya Georgijevic (Western editor for Flare Magazine), Ray Civello (President\CEO of Aveda Canada) and Marta Murray (Creative Director of Aveda for Western Canada) were all sitting front row, watching the styles as they came out. we all watched, and inhaled delicious snacks, and some drinks all night.

all four finalists had to come up with a runway (models to the right above), and a ready-to-wear style (models to the left above), while also deciding on their clothing choices, and makeup styling. what came out of it all was fantastic - creativity, and a true reflection of why these women were the chosen finalists. by the end of the night, bobbi-jo cronk went home with a full scholarship... and well deserved.
thanks aveda, for having us!
