SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER 2005 EDITION

EDITOR'S GREETINGS

Editor's Note: Due to a serious automobile accident, "simply FAB" will be on hiatus for the next month, and should return in December. To all the FabOriginal Junior-FABS and Staturistes,
hope that this Summer has brought about many fond memories to look back on and smile. And are we not just FAB or what!? Inside this newsletter you will find info on up & coming events, future projects, Fab profiles, fashion design classes and more. Remember, we're not the only ones who think we're FAB! Those who have seen us and attended our productions refer to us as being DDG & S! We are constantly being presented with new and original opportunities to set a standard for talent, creativity and dedication to our ideals, which will ensure our success.

FAB-YOU-lously Yours, Christine Brown

KAYLA - NATIONAL MOTORCYCLE SHOW

Congratulations to our team for yet more shows that were "beautiful and beyond", earlier this year. We were brought together on several occasions to model the creations of some local and out-of-town designers - not to mention the talents and creativity of our own stunning Staturistes and Junior-FABS.
Everybody did their best to make the best of the shows, and it was much appreciated by all; especially our Sponsors and Not-For-Profit organizations.
So, way to walk softly, gals! We all had FAB-YOU-lous fun with a job well done!

UP & COMING

Future Miss Universe ???

This month's spotlight shines on
Jacqueline Tonge,
"FAB of the Month!"
We are hoping that her entrance as our very own contestant in the Miss Universe Pageant will be a sign of things to come for all of our Staturistes and Junior-Fabs!

Preliminary events will be held throughout Huronia, and we all look forward to the Finale to be held here in Barrie at The Roxx nightclub. Come out and support your fellow FAB on the evening of
October 23, 2005.
Tickets are only $15.00.

Jacqueline was born in Bracebridge, Ontario and is 23 years old. Her adolescent and adult life have been devoted to self-improvement activities. By the age of 16, she was well on her way to becoming a Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer, a Weight Loss Consultant, a Swimming Instructor and a Nutrition Wellness Specialist. Jacqueline has worked extensively in Toronto as a Hip-Hop and Go-Go Dancer, and doing promotions for various clubs. She just loves the Toronto club scene. She believes that it has been "rewarding to have had jobs in these fields" where she has had an opportunity to work with others wanting to fulfil their own development. Her goals are to enter the world of broadcasting and to work with youth. She wants to encourage young people to develop healthy lifestyles and help them to realize that in life, "it's not about winning", it's about just being all you can be. And for Jacqueline Tonge,
"It's about what you can do for your community."

NISH DISH
with
TIBBY JOHNSTON

When it comes to writing, it certainly doesn't hurt to be the daughter of one of North America's most respected authors, Basil Johnston. Tibby is the Aboriginal Early Years Co-ordinator for Simcoe County, Ontario and, in keeping with the family literary tradition, is compiling a collection of recipes for her first treatise on Aboriginal cuisine. Raising young sons to manhood has given her ample opportunity to discover and prepare culinary delights guaranteed to satisfy the most demanding appetites. Be sure to join us for a monthly tour through Tibby's kitchen and a glimpse into her future book.
