More than just ’old people, dart boards and draft beer’
By Kelsey Hipkin
I had heard of Calgary’s Legion No.1, friends had told me about various music shows they had been to there but I never saw it for myself, until the Sled Island Music Festival.
Walking through the Legion’s Sandstone doors and into the wood panelled lobby with [...]

Before I begin this post today I want to say a few things straight up.
I’m 25, 5’6 and 115 lbs. I have no illusions of ever being a successful model. I’ve been lucky to have fun modeling for local creative people for the last 7 years. I will never be successful for many [...]

I was riding the bus the other day and as usual I was bored. So I used my Blackberry to browse the Globe and Mail’s mobile site and I found this little gem that bemused, amused and creeped me out a bit.
Vaginas enjoy their 15 minutes of commercial fame

St. Patrick’s day has come and gone. Easter weekend saw families and friends get together. The Flames aren’t going to win the cup. The world has gone back to normal after the whirl of The Olympics. If someone honks in the road these days it’s probably because somebody wasn’t paying attention, not because [...]

I used to keep a list. I even used to rank them. I never bragged but I didn’t lie. However, after awhile I ripped out the page from my notebook and tossed it in the garbage. Since then, I can’t tell you the exact number (just a rough estimation) of partners I’ve had, [...]

I remember my first month at Mount Royal, and the freedom I felt when I was able to walk into a bar right on campus. No driving was necessary, no carpooling arranged; just a hop, skip and a jump over to Wyckham House, and I was able to drink away the sorrows of [...]

I don’t know too many people who would rate their first time having sex as their best sexual experience. For some people it’s special, others it’s awkward, and for many it’s painful. We all have a story and we remember it for the rest of our lives even if we try not to. Way [...]

As millions of people invade the Olympic city of Vancouver and the excitement of corporate products, sponsors and entertainment
sets in, it’s easy to forget
about the athletes that are taking part in the games.
As a former high performance athlete in synchronized swimming,
I know the effort that is put into training and preparing for big [...]

I am far from perfect.As a journalist however, I do pride myself on always being on time to do interviews or conduct photo shoots.
The Olympic torch was in town recently, in case you haven’t noticed the miles of coverage from different news organizations all over the country. Images of Calgary’s glorious ‘88 Olympics segued into [...]

You have to feel for Steve Yzerman and Co. He’s assembled what he thinks is the best 23-man roster that Canada has to offer. Win gold and he’ll be hailed a messiah, anything less than gold in Vancouver and every pick will be analyzed and over-analyzed, including the selection of Yzerman [...]
