On Sunday Darren and I went on an adventure to find a copy of the newest issue of HOLR Magazine. This one was a special one because I (my actual self) would be featured in the national magazine painting my new artwork "True Beauty" 'Delena Providence'. Thinking of past experiences, where it took many days for the magazine to actually hit the shelves after being released, I wasn't overly stressed about getting a copy. BUT I should have been! We tried the famous Eaton's Center first and they had one rather beat-up copy left! I snagged it fast (pictured above)! I asked the clerk if they had any others and she happily informed me they had all been sold. She even called the other locations to see if they had any left (I wasn't a fan of having a beat-up copy) but they had all sold out as well! Absolutely crazy! While I would have liked a crisper copy, I am beyond excited that all those copies were sold and thus all those people will see me and my artwork! Just awesome! Seeing myself in a national magazine was just completely overwhelming. I'm not the typical lady you'd see in a fashion magazine; being a chubby comfy kind of gal; so I give HOLR major props on diversifying what they promote as beauty and talent. In fact, they asked me to pose and dress "exactly as I am" without feeling the need to adhere to any social standard of what a woman in a magazine should look like. I LOVE that! If you get a chance please check your local Chapters or Indigo for a copy and be sure to take a picture with it/my page! You would put one big smile on my face if you did! :D
