EDITOR’S LETTER 

I am absolutely in love 

with nostalgia and 

the past. When I was 

young, a hundred years 

seemed like an eternity, 

now, looking back one 

hundred years is not so 

far out of reach. Mostly because so much of what we take for granted today was 

given shape and form in the past century. The liberation of a world that had finally 

put the Great War behind them left every avenue to grow and prosper and usher in 

a more modern era. So many ideas and the inspiration for industrial advancements 

made the possibilities endless. 

This special issue of teenLook pays homage to this great era, The Roaring Twenties, 

or as it was known in Paris, ‘Années Folles’ - The Crazy Years! It was a great time 

when artists, writers and designers of fashion explored the freedom to create and 

collaborate. With the events we are facing in this decade we have just started, we 

might refer to this time as The Crazy Years too! Hopefully, our instinct for love and 

goodwill towards each other will prevail. May we seek our time to be the best we 

possibly can be at every step we take. 

And with that being said, we are here to celebrate the models and photographers 

featured in this issue! 

I apologise for the delay of this issue. I do this on my own, and time for me has 

become much more limited for my work on it here. Thank you all for your continued 

support & patience. I will be enlisting the help of passionate and energetic teens and 

parents to give me a hand. See page 86 for more details. 

Don’t worry. teenLook is still going strong! With your help and support it will continue 

to be even stonger. Keep sending in your submissions for the December issue and 

I do hope you will enjoy the Fall Issue of teenLook, as much as I enjoyed putting it 

together. 

Till then, stay healthy and strong, and keep following your dreams!

She is an easy going, fun loving beach girl. 

She is 1/2 Chinese & 1/2 American. Her

involved in shooting and editing, spanning 

from Malibu to Miami Beach. 

She has her own custom clothing line

Alessandra’s beauty is beyond compare. 

Her Instagram accounts have a wild growth

She is the hardest working teen you will 

find, loves to do her own make up and 

does it very well. Her natural posing combined 

with her beauty has photographers 

gasping in disbelief when she looks directly 

into the lens. Any photographer shooting 

Alessandra is a fortunate person. Don’t

Interview & Photos, Mr. G - teenLook

teenlook.ca 25

Hi Crystal, I am so pleased to have this chance to 

sit down with you for coffee and conversation! 

It’s my pleasure! I love the magazine and am happy to be a 

part of it. 

Thank you! I have to admit I am a huge fan of 

your work as are many others. How did you 

become interested in photography? 

I moved to Edmonton, AB in 2008 as an international 

exchange student when I was 15. I didn’t know anyone and 

was very shy. I decided that photography was a good way 

to get outside and explore. 

That must have been a very lonely time, being 

away from home & family like that. 

Yes, I had no family here. I hadn’t made any friends yet, so I 

needed to get out of my room and do something. I also wanted 

to stay connected with my Friends in Hong Kong, and I would go 

out and take pictures to show them what life is like over here. Photography 

was something I could do on my own and make memories 

for my life. 

Well, I’m glad you found your passion. Your work is amazing. Did 

you keep working on your photography skills? 

Thank you. Yes, after I graduated high school, I studied design at Grant MacEwan 

University. Photography was my major. 

Did you pursue your photography career after University? 

Not right away, I worked at Sephora for four years as a hair and make-up artist first. 

Another great experience and skillset. I would also freelance on photography every 

weekend those years. I love to do make-up artistry too. I love working with people and 

get to slow down and get to know them. 

What came after Sephora? 

I started working for World Management. They gave me so much opportunities and freedom 

doing magazine/ editorial work, doing test shoots with new models and get to travel 

around and help develop their models. I am very grateful. 

How long have you been with World Management? 

It’s been about four years now. 

Four years? Wow.. how many models do you estimate you have worked 

with? 

It’s hard to keep track (laughs) but I would guess about three thousand. 

That’s incredible! You have such a wealth of experience for such a young 

age. What’s next for you? 

I love what I am doing. I have built up a loyal client base and I feel it is time for me to start 

challenging myself again and expand my portfolio. I have started to freelance and focus on my 

own business and overall work, so hope to possibly open my own studio soon. 

I can’t wait to see what you do next. 

Thanks so much!

Being on a cover of a magazine has always been 

a goal and I’m so happy to have achieved this! 

It’s fun shooting different looks and having creative 

sessions with photographers and other stylists. 

I absolutely loved the outdoor roses & flower shoot 

with Tony Chan (@tinophoto). It was a super-hot day 

when we did this shoot but it was so fun with the 

flowers, rose petals, and laying in the dandelions! 

This spring & summer I didn’t have as many chances 

for shoots as we had hoped because of Covid-19, 

but I did have a have a really fun summer with lots 

of activities like going to the lake and wakeboarding, 

surfing, tubing with friends, & hanging out on the 

beach in BC. I was also able to participate in various 

volleyball training camps with friends from last 

season. Volleyball is my favorite sport (I play middle), 

and I’m hoping to tryout for more club volleyball 

when the new season starts. 

This fall I’m really hoping that there is a vaccine approved 

for Covid-19 so that life for everyone can go 

back to normal, and we can all go back to doing the 

things we love. 

I’m really looking forward to having a fun high school 

experience with all my friends, and also hoping that 

all the fashion runway shows are allowed to start 

up again. It would be so exciting to be cast again 

for Vancouver Fashion week and South Asian Fashion 

week. My BIG dream would be to be cast for 

runway in Paris, Milan and New York Fashion weeks 

one day in the future! Throughout modeling this last 

year I’ve learned that every girl no matter what has 

the capability to do whatever they want, no matter 

what shape, size, race, or age. It’s never too late to 

start. Following your dreams has no limits and If you 

put your mind to a goal, and work hard, anything is 

possible!

Like most of us, Faith was struck with overwhelming 

boredom and restlessness when we went into 

Covid Lockdown Mode this spring. To add some 

excitement to her days, Faith would do her hair and 

makeup and go out with her mom to shoot photos. 

This allowed them both to have something positive 

to focus on doing, and helped to keep Faith’s skills 

sharp, so that she would be ready to get on set the 

second that the restrictions were lifted. So these 

pictures are a reminder of a time that we found 

hope and kept dreams alive amidst a sea of fear 

and unknown. 

Faith loves to do print work, and has taken every 

opportunity to work with photographers throughout 

the summer. She also loves to do runway, and is 

crossing her fingers that Western Canadian Fashion 

Week will be able to go as scheduled this fall! If 

there is one thing that this Covid experience has 

given Faith, it’s an appreciation for the freedom to 

safely do the things that she loves to do!

GENERAL MERCHANT 

Step back in time, today! 

Alexander Archbold is an Edmonton Entrepreneur 

and collector; founder and curator of Curiosity Inc. 

He shares his journey of curiosity with teenLook. 

TL - When did your passion for collecting start? 

My passion for collecting started when I was about nine years old. My 

family was going through some very hard times and I realized I had a 

knack for buying and reselling items I would find at garage sales. 

TL - How did you spot the items that had value? 

I was always uniquely interested in history because it was and still is 

cool! That knowledge base and my keen eye is what helped me find the 

valuable items. 

TL - How did your collecting shape your life and where you are today? 

I had a very stable job in the tech industry, but was still collecting and 

reselling as a hobby. It was my dream to open an antique store when I 

retired. My wife is so supportive of my dreams and she asked me why 

should I wait till then? I agreed and decided to take the leap and follow 

my heart. It’s been four years now and we couldn’t be more happy with 

how things have turned out. 

ABOVE/ Alex holds his published book, 

“The Potter’s House. Mary Borgstrom’s Art & Life Uncovered’ 

It is his first book, and documents Mary’s Art and is filled with 

photos he took documenting the journey. You can find it in 

store or online - 

www.amazon.ca/Potters-House-Mary-Borgstroms-Uncovered 

LEFT/ When in the store, Alex’s day is busy fielding calls from 

prospective buyers and sellers as well as helping customers 

that stop by. 


Interview & Photos - Mr. G - teenLook

The thousands of unique items in store are captivating 

and thought provoking. Your journey through all the 

vintage items ranges from prints, original art, collectibles, 

guitars, and so much more. Even having your fortune told by Zoltar! The 

historical location used to be a pool hall years ago, and the original neon Billiards 

sign is still here. Alex is currently developing an addition to the store to 

house more collectibles. 

TL - It’s obvious that was the right choice! 

How did the road to what Curiosity Inc. is now begin? 

I mostly searched and sold higher end items. I would start with one and 

then turn it into two. It just took off from there! I would search garage 

and estate sales for items. Now, mostly people are reaching out to me. 

TL - Your YouTube channel, Curiosity Incorporated has also taken off. 

You have over 300k subscribers! 

I love to document my adventures and share them with my viewers. 

Every day and every video is a new adventure!

TL - I love to watch your videos. You know so much, it blows my mind! 

I don’t know about that (laughs) I do make mistakes identifying items, and 

I get corrected quickly in the comment sections. I love the community 

and the eagerness to share and learn together. 

TL - I discovered your channel during the Potter House series. 

Can you tell me more about that and who Mary was? 

I had the opportunity to purchase Mary Borgstrom’s home, contents 

and all. She was a Canadian potter, ceramist, and artist who specialized 

in primitive techniques. Her artwork was shown world-wide, and appeared 

in numerous collections and exhibitions. 

TL - You chose to save the house and restore it. 

What an undertaking that was! 

It was a long and arduous process. I loved it! We discovered many 

unpublished pieces of Mary’s art and were able to preserve so much of 

her history and the opportunity to share her life’s story. 

TL - Thank you for taking the time to talk today! Can you share a final 

thought about how you keep collecting antiques fresh? 

It was a pleasure! Thank you too. The key to buying and selling antiques 

is to make it fun and grab peoples attention. The store contains everything 

to entertain kids and adults. I believe in making vintage items 

accessible to everyone, making it fun and not too serious.

Sophia Lia’s Advice & Thoughts 

- The Power Of Perspective - 

The Power of Perspective 

Is life happening TO you, or FOR you? 

It’s a question of perspective. 

When I sat down to think about it, I realized that many 

of us coast through life noticing the world, the events 

that take place in our lives and our interactions with all those 

we come in contact with as things that are happening “to” us, 

as if humanity is on some sort of “auto-pilot” program that 

we have no control over. 

On a conscious level…we observe the world happening 

around us from a physical perspective, but subconsciously, 

our past experiences and judgements alter how we perceive 

our tangible world. Have you ever noticed that even 

throughout the same routine of daily life, you have some 

days that are just miserable and everything seems to go 

wrong, while some days you feel completely unstoppable 

- like the whole world is working for you and everything is 

sunshine and rainbows? 

simple as having the capability of observing the different 

points of view between you and your parents but having 

the grace to understand and accept that both views can be 

potential truths. 

It could also be as deep as looking at a broken friendship 

in a way that allows you to accept that it taught you a lesson 

you were meant to grow from, as opposed to leaving you 

“worse for wear.” 

But shifting perspectives is not always easy, especially 

when emotions are involved - so here are a few techniques 

I’ve found to be useful as I’ve grown on my own path: 

1. Learn to become a neutral observer 

Looking at your situation or challenge from an outside point 

of view (removing your emotional response to the situation) 

can really help you better understand others’ perspectives 

of a situation, not just how you perceive that situation to be. 

You’ll find this approach can very quickly bring you peace 

of mind and deescalate negative emotions surrounding the 

topic or situation. 

38 

Have You Read It? 

If you like what Sophia 

has to share, be sure to check 

out her debut publication which 

was released this past August. 


For the most part, our 

daily events and the relatively 

routine patterns 

of things happening 

around us go relatively 

unchanged. However, 

our perspective of our 

environment creates certain 

emotions and focusing 

on those emotions 

causes the expansion of 

what we see 

as positive 

or negative, largely 

dictating whether we 

have a “good” day, or a 

“bad” one. 

What’s important to realize 

is that your perspective 

can completely make 

or break any situation - it 

all depends on how you 

look at it. 

A healthy, or positive 

perspective might be as 

IG - sophiallia 

sophialiamag.com 

2. Take on an optimistic viewpoint 

Even though sometimes it can be tough to find the light in 

something, if we can identify even one positive thing about 

the “negative” challenge, it can sure open your mind to a 

more optimistic perspective overall. Find one good thing 

that could come from your situation, and it’ll be sure to make 

you more open to accepting the situation for what it really 

is (which again, is often nothing more than an opportunity 

to grow.) 

3. Practice gratitude, even for the little things 

Even though you might be facing a sticky situation or feeling 

completely overwhelmed with life, keeping a journal which 

includes things or people you are grateful for is a powerful 

exercise to stay happy and positive. When things are going 

rough, you can refer back to all the good and then come 

back to your situation with a more blessed mindset. 

Remember, your mind is an incredibly powerful tool. A tool 

that can quickly influence your emotional responses to the 

world around you - so when you put it to good use with 

repetitive positive thoughts, chances are, you’ll see more 

sunshine and rainbows.

be almost a century old, but a 

look that is still fresh today! 

Thea Vaporis shows us how.

As a historian and makeup artist I have always 

loved the aesthetic of the 1920s because Hollywood 

glamour was birthed. The 1920s marked 

an era of women’s liberation. Women began to 

enjoy nightlife, the movies, and jazz music. Makeup 

was a form of women’s liberation because it 

embraced all the freeing aspects of a modern 

women’s life. 

Makeup was used for silent films to emphasis the 

actors or actresses’ expressions. Actresses would 

shave their eyebrows and use a pencil to draw 

them in a downward shape much darker than 

their natural color. Lips were dark and vampy and 

all about exaggeration. Women would concentrate 

on an accentuate the cupid’s bow to create a 

perfect feminine shape. 

Silent movies actresses such as Clara Bow and Josephine 

Baker popularized makeup for the everyday 

women through their status. The popularity of 

movies is what began retail cosmetics as we know 

it today. Women wanted to emulate the looks for a 

night out of their favorite on screen actresses. 

I love taking past trends and put a modern wearable 

spin on them. These are some ways you can recreate 

roaring 20’s style makeup in your everyday modern 

life. 

Take your favorite kohl black eyeliner pencil and use 

it as your eyeshadow. Start at the lash line and then 

buff out with a brush or your fingertips. No fuss and 

no need to worry about it being perfect. 

Try a vampy lip! Using a lip liner sketch out your natural 

lip line. Doing this will give your lipstick a longer 

lasting base. Try darker tones with a satin finish, 

look for raspberry, plum, or deep red tones. 

Pick a matte pink toned blush, smile and pop on 

to the apples of your cheeks. 

ABOVE/ 

Clara Bow was an American actress 

who rose to stardom in silent film 

during the 1920s. Her appearance 

as a plucky shopgirl in the film It 

brought her global fame and the 

nickname “The It Girl”. 

LEFT/ 

Maybelline New York was founded 

in 1915. Then later, it’s name was 

shortened to just Maybelline. 

I hope makeup makes you feel liberated in 

expressing your truest self.

Maddie had never even thought of modelling 

three years ago. She attended a fashion 

show one of her friends was in and 

realized this was something she would love to do! 

Maddie is now in her second year of modelling. 

She started by attending the Walk the Talk 

course led by Dara Eckel and at that moment 

she knew this was something she had a passion 

for. 

Maddie is 16 years old and is an honours grade 

12 student. Her favourite subjects in school are 

Drama and Chemistry. She just got her license 

and enjoys going for cruises in her buttercup 

yellow punch bug. When she isn’t driving she 

can be found tap dancing, drawing, reading, and 

watching movies. She also enjoys working at the 

Boys and Girls Club in Leduc. Maddie loves going 

camping with her three sisters and parents. 

She feels that modelling is a way that she can feel 

confident and come out of her comfort zone.

We take a moment to see how she 

has been coping during quarantine and

Hi everyone! I hope you are all healthy and happy. So 

much has happened since my last publication just a 

few months ago and I am excited and very proud to 

have the opportunity to share with you! 

I have managed to graduate high school from Michigan Online 

Schools. In fact, I completed the second half of my junior 

year as well as my entire senior year in just 18 weeks. I managed 

to use my time in quarantine quite 

efficiently which expedited the graduation 

process for me substantially. Little did I realized 

that I would be a 2020 graduate! 

Proof that you can make good things happen 

during times of stress and chaos. My 

advice to those that may be struggling with 

staying focused and/or motivated would 

be to start a detailed calendar. Planning 

my days in advance and reviewing them 

the night prior as well as the morning of 

truly helped keep me on task. It kept me 

on task with my schooling, workouts, meal 

times, and “me time”! Give it a try. You 

have nothing to lose! 

Many are wondering what I plan to do 

now that I graduated a full yr sooner. I 

will be attending ISSA College of Exercise 

Science in the Fall. Just this past week, I 

was awarded the Frederick C. Hatfield 

Memorial Scholarship which allows me 

my first two yrs attending at zero tuition! I am beyond honored 

and blessed to have been selected to receive this prestigious 

award! I will receive an Associate’s Degree in Exercise 

Science prior to continuing another two yrs to complete my 

Bachelor’s Degree. This education will prove beneficial as I 

strive to be a leader and role model in the fitness industry. 

On the modeling front, I recently traveled to Columbus, Ohio 

for a super fun fitness shoot with the talented Ian Crumpler. I 

have chosen to use his pictures as the highlights with this article. 

I am thrilled to be heading to Pittsburg in September for 

another shoot, part of which I will be dressing as a superhero! 

I can’t begin to explain just how much 

I am looking forward to that. Who 

wouldn’t want to be a superhero for 

a few hours? 

In July, I made the decision to start 

a TikTok account and that has been 

a blast! I am excited for the growth 

my account is seeing in such a short 

amount of time. Check it out to see 

sides of my personality of which you 

have yet to see! Nielsen_autumnfit 

On a final note, I prepare to enter 

“adulthood” as I turn 18 this month! I 

realize that to many, it is just another 

number. To me, however, turning 

18 is like entering a new chapter in 

my life. A chapter of which I plan to 

make a successful one. 

To everyone reading this article, I 

hope for you all wellness and prosperity 

during these trying times. With 

that, I would like to end this with an inspirational quote by 

Sonia Ricotti in hopes of shining light on all of you beautiful 

souls. “Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in 

what will be.”

Sarah 

Chan 

Mom 

Musician 

Philanthropist 

Edmonton’s First Lady 

Exclusive Interview by Sophia Wojdak 

Many notable Canadian figures 

are well rounded, but Sarah 

Chan seems to have knowledge 

and expertise about everything under the 

sun. Some may know this talented musician 

and philanthropist as the wife of 

Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson, but today 

I was introduced to an educated, talented, 

working mom and community builder 

that has inspired many. We discussed 

everything from the changing dynamics 

of education during the Covid-19 pandemic 

to her work with charities under 

the United Way, as well as how she has 

maintained her integrity and self-respect 

throughout her career. We also got the 

opportunity to discuss how she hopes to 

leave a lasting impact on impressionable 

youth in her community. 

We began the interview by discussing 

how she has been balancing her charity 

work and teaching business during 

these unprecedented times, and how she 

is thankful to still be able to engage in 

her many projects despite lockdowns. 

Among other organizations, Sarah Chan 

works heavily with the United Way and 

the BGCBigs. “My interest in community 

building is poverty elimination as it is 

related to support of students and families, 

and early intervention and education 

for students.All of that is still ongoing, 

and the social aspects of how I get 

that stuff done have made a transition to 

a virtual landscape very well.” She also 

discussed how her husband’s job has 

changed, whereas he would typically be 

out of town and collaborating with federal 

officials, they now have more time together 

as a family. Sarah also commented 

on how both she and her husband’s 

jobs have been shifted farther away from 

public events to just the core projects and 

responsibilities they have. 

Sarah Chan’s charity resume is miles 

long, but we focused on Denton’s Make 

your Mark which is a youth initiative 

that she created with the United Way. 

Edmonton was launching its “End 

Poverty Edmonton,” campaign 

around the time she decided 

to form this initiative and was 

given a unique perspective 

on how to tackle it. “We are 

talking about ending poverty 

in a generation, but 

who’s talking to young people? 

If you want people to 

know about it, first people 

have to be educated about 

it. Young people have a lot 

to offer. It isn’t just about 

writing cheques, it’s about 

involving yourself in 

the community.” The 

granting program 

works to support 

applicants forming 

their own poverty fighting projects, and 

marking those youths achievements 

in the community. “I’ve been working 

with young people my whole life and 

often feel that they are underestimated. 

We need to make sure we give space 

and opportunities so that people can 

demonstrate what they are capable of.” 

Adding on to her statements about youth, 

she spoke about how much a learning 

experience mentorship has been for her. 

“What you really get out of that relationship 

is friendship and connection. It’s 

about having someone else who can 

come in and still listen and reflect and 

connect with the things that are important 

to you.” 

We then shifted our conversation to the 

arts, something both of us are very large 

proponents of. Sarah Chan works as a 

piano teacher and has an Arts degree in 

Literature and Music Performance, and 

a Masters in Integrated Studies. She was 

eager to share not only the social and 

emotional benefits of the arts for youth 

but the scientific impact that comes 

along with music. She spoke about the 

importance of developing new neural 

pathways through music--especially for 

youth who are developing or youth who 

suffered from trauma. “It’s the only way 

to scientifically rebuild your brain which 

is pretty phenomenal. An arts education 

is often underrated. It teaches 

you to learn how to communicate and 

think critically.” She also spoke about 

the cultural significance of art and its importance 

to multiple communities. We 

also discussed the specific arts opportunities 

available in Edmonton, and what 

was so unique about them. Sarah Chan 

works with many theatres and organizations 

across Edmonton, and was eager to 

respond, “I like that the Edmonton arts 

scene is so collaborative. I have gotten 

invited to do a lot of theatre things and

it’s been really fun to lean into things 

that feel purely Sarah Chan, and not 

just ‘the mayor’s wife,’ because that’s 

temporary, but who I am as an artist-- 

that’s forever.” 

We had an opportunity to talk more 

about the city she is so heavily involved 

in, and her favourite aspects of it. She 

explained how many of her friends 

moved away from Edmonton to cities 

like London and New York, and how 

she and her husband wanted to work 

together to try to bring some of the positive 

aspects of those unique cities to their 

hometown. She also praised the public 

education system in Edmonton and the 

hardworking teachers and administrators 

that make it a possibility for youth. 

“Public education, my family is here, and 

I love the river valley. I also love the 

people,--they are very open and that’s 

not the same everywhere.” 

A proud working mom, Sarah Chan 

shared how homeschooling her young 

children has been during this pandemic, 

and the advice she has for other 

parents dealing with the same thing. 

“Don’t be afraid to adapt and hold the 

kids capable.” She praised both of her 

children, both having to do homeschool 

elementary classes, for being hardworking 

and responsible as they go on this 

journey together. 

We also had the opportunity to discuss 

what balancing so many charitable endeavours 

and being a working mom is 

like. She expressed her admiration for 

mothers everywhere, using whatever 

system works best for them and is proud 

of the achievements she has made. She 

told me about how hard she worked 

while her husband was first running for 

city council, and how her career as a 

musician and teacher doesn’t always get 

the recognition it deserves. “I’m really 

proud that I have been able to maintain 

my career throughout all of these transitions. 

Teaching is really a part of who 

I am and I have always stayed true to 

that even though it doesn’t get taken 

seriously in some places.” 

Sarah Chan also discussed the importance 

of integrity and standing your 

ground, and how calling people out 

when they are disrespectful and unkind 

is so important even though it can often 

be difficult. “I am proud of myself for 

continuing to be who I am and holding 

myself accountable and the people 

around me accountable to my standards 

of respect.” 

When asked what advice she would 

give a young version of herself if she 

could go back in time, she had a great 

answer. 

“You don’t have to go so fast! For so 

long I believed how much I did meant 

how much worth I had, it’s okay to slow 

down. What’s the rush?” 

On the topic of advice for young people, 

she discussed how social media can be a 

double-edged sword for youth, as well 

as the harmful double standard many 

women face. “Social culture and images 

can be really damaging, and a lack 

of authenticity can be dangerous. I just 

feel as girls we are held to a way higher 

standard. It leads to perceptions of selfworth.” 

She also talked about how detrimental 

that pressure to succeed can be, 

“Then we burn out because we have 

been working 3 times as hard as everyone 

else to be taken seriously. It’s exhausting, 

plus you’re supposed to look 

perfect and be polite. Social media can 

help accelerate those things.” We then 

talked about how serious the issue of cyberbullying 

towards women running for 

political office can be, and how harmful 

it has become over the years. Despite 

all of the difficulties that ring true in our 

modern world, Sarah Chan had some 

great words of advice for young women 

who may be struggling on their personal 

Photo - Jason Symington 

road to success. 

“Surround yourself with real people. 

There are a lot of people out there really 

good at pretending and manipulating. 

I would say trust your gut. I like to 

be transparent.” She also talked about 

the importance of starting a conversation 

with those who don’t always agree 

with you and not just ignoring tensions 

or disagreements, even though it takes 

a lot of bravery to do so. “Be brave. 

Be transparent, trust your gut and surround 

yourself with good people. People 

who will be with you when you fall 

flat on your face but people who will 

also challenge you. All the other answers 

you are looking from will come 

from you.” 

She ended off our interview by reiterating 

her advice for women everywhere, 

emphasizing the importance of being 

brave and holding those around you 

to a standard of respect. I encourage 

everyone to look into more of the charitable 

and creative projects this notable 

woman has been working on or take a 

gander at the hilarious videos she and 

her husband make on tik tok (even the 

busiest most hardworking individuals 

have to take a little break to have fun!) It 

was a pleasure and an honour to learn 

the story of this inspiring woman, so keep 

your eye on the media to see what incredible 

projects she will be doing next!

“ Ghost towns and glamour “ - These are my 2 passions 

when it comes to photography. Nearly any type of historical 

building interests me and I am working on a book 

about the old corner stores of Calgary, the gradual disappearance 

of which I have been documenting for over 

20 years. After university I studied commercial makeup 

which then led me into glamour photography. 

I am proud to have had 2 model shoots featured in past 

issues of Teen Look magazine.

“ Edmonton’s Transit Hotel has watched Fort Road evolve 

from a muddy dirt road with horses and wagons in 1908 

to the paved high-speed thoroughfare we see today. The 

neighborhood was once a very active meat-packing district 

as seen in the undated archival picture with pigs going to 

market. The colorful hotel was seemingly closed for good 

in 2017 but recent rumors suggest it might just be resurrected 

once again.”

“ On a brief trip to Edmonton in the 1990’s I took 

this impromptu picture of an intriguing old building 

in the inner city. Soon thereafter it was demolished. 

For years I wondered if it might have been a corner 

store - buildings which are close to my heart. So I 

posted the picture asking if anyone had information. 

I was quickly rewarded with this amazing 1908 photograph. 

Not only was it a corner store, there was 

another corner store directly across the street ! “

when I turned up that final gravel road and saw it there 

in the distance, right where it had stood for 126 years! 

I breathed a huge sigh of relief. The top photo shows 

the class of 1902.”

structure in Alix. When she was built in 1904 there 

wasn’t even a street in front of her yet ! “

TMI exclusive 

interview 

MADYSYN 

18-year old singer songwriter 

Nashville, TN - USA 

Hey Madysyn!! We are so excited to 

be chatting with you about your single, 

“Girlfriend.” Can you tell us what this song 

means to you? 

“Girlfriend” to me is the perfect song to communicate your 

standards in your relationship. To let your person know if we 

don’t put a label on this we’re not doing what I thought we were. It’s a 

confident and fun tune 

How excited were you to get this single out into the world? 

I was super excited! The song is so relatable and catchy, once it was 

recorded I couldn’t wait any longer. 

You also released a fun music video to go along with your new 

single! How did the idea for the music video come about? 

Jake Vale (my brother), Justin Wylie (the director), and I came up with 

the concept. It was a lot of fun creating the visual! The making of music 

videos is one of my favorite experiences 

Do you have any other release plans for 2020? 

I am planning on releasing more originals in 2021! In the meantime I am 

constantly posting little snippets of covers & my own writings on my 

social media. 

What do you hope your supporters 

will think of the new music? 

I hope my listeners resonate with my 

music and feel the emotion through 

the recording. I know I love listening to 

the artists I look up to and hearing the 

authenticity in their voice. To listen and 

know it’s real is beautiful. 

Being in country music this may not be a surprise but I was totally in 

to riding horses growing up. I did rodeos and would ride all the time, I 

loved it! 

What do you want your fans to know if they ever see you in 

public? 

Say hi! I promise I don’t bite. It means the world to me when someone 

who has seen me on my socials or listens to my music says hello or 

asks for a picture or anything like it. That’s something I’ll never take for 

granted.. 

What’s one word you would use to describe what your fans 

have allowed you to accomplish? 

Narrowing it down to just one word is so difficult, but I think I would use 

“breathtaking.” 

Is there anyone in the music business you are dying to meet? 

I would love to meet Kacey Musgraves. Kacey is incredibly talented. 

She’s a big female influence to me when it comes to music and I love 

her persona. 

Why do you think social media is so important for artists like 

yourself? 

It’s important to stay connected to your supporters 

and social media is the perfect way 

to do so. They get to know more about you 

and vice versa. It’s also a great tool to use to 

get your music out there. 

What would you say is your biggest 

dream/goal right now? 

How do you want your relationship 

to be like with your supporters? 

I have a very open relationship with my 

supporters. I am replying to messages 

and comments all the time and they 

always make my day. I’m so grateful to 

everyone who supports my music 

What’s something your fans don’t 

know about you? 


- New single “Girlfriend” out now - 

https://frtyfve.lnk.to/Girlfriend 

My biggest goal right now is to release an EP/ 

album and go on a tour! I love performing, it’s 

one of my favorite parts of being an artist so 

definitely stayed tuned for that 

Any last things you want to tell your 

supporters? 

I am over the moon grateful for you. The fact 

that I get to create and release music as my 

job makes life feel like a dream. If you support 

and listen to my music just know I’m appreciative 

and am so thankful for it.

Cads started modelling December 2018 and 

since then her following has escalated to an 

inspiring number of followers. Initially her motivation 

was to boost her self confidence and 

embrace her individuality and show teenagers 

that uniqueness is a quality that needs to be 

expressed and amplified on a social platform. 

It also provided a space to be able to interact 

with new people. She is 14 years old and has 

a passion with animal welfare and spends her 

free time dedicated to assisting in shelters and 

providing human interaction to animals in need 

and aspires to be a Vet. Her modelling career 

so far has enabled her to grow as a person 

and start believing in herself. She really enjoys 

dressing up in different outfits and collaborating 

with artists that enhance her own unique 

style. Her goal is to show that you don’t have

to be perfect to be a model and 

that being real and authentic is so 

important. Ultimately what makes 

you you, is something to be proud 

of and from this journey she is 

now able to organically move 

into the influencer side of things 

and is starting to evolve in her 

aspirations. Cads is animal 

obsessed and has wanted to 

be a vet since she was two. The 

shift from modelling to influencer 

has been a personal goal 

that is currently being supported 

through companies reaching out 

to her. She feels very blessed that 

her presence on instagram has 

ignited the interest of companies 

wanting to utilise her established 

platform to harmoniously promote 

their product. She welcomes this 

new movement in her career and 

hopes to be a beacon for them. She 

is so grateful to have the backing 

and friendships she has met 

through Instagram, and to 

be able to have such fun 

modelling and being 

creative. This experience 

so far 

has flourished 

her growth 

in personal 

and professional 

relationships 

and 

feels so 

blessed 

to have 

supportive 

people surrounding 

her 

in her journey.

THE 

ROARING 

20’s 

Looking back to the era known best as 

“The Roaring 20’s”, there are similarities 

of events and maybe it was a time 

not too different from this decade before us. 

We are still coping and learning to live with 

COVID 19, wearing masks is commonplace. 

The state of unrest that we are suffering in 

that has many people in protest. As we go 

through the difficulties of the time, we are 

learning and growing in ways we might never 

have. 

In the 1920s, the Great War was put behind 

the people thanks to the Armistice and mass 

production was forging a way for enormous 

growth and opportunity for prosperity. In retrospect 

to the masks we wear now, the 1918 

Flu Pandemic still had many people in the affected 

areas wearing white surgical masks to 

protect themselves leading up to the 20s. It 

was also an era of great protest; The Women’s 

suffrage movement led the way to giving 

women more rights to vote in elections. The 

Prohibition caused an outcry of the American 

people as it put in place a nationwide constitutional 

ban on the production, importation, 

transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages. 

This led directly to the rise of organized 

crime with names like Al Capone leading the 

fight to control the illegal sales and distribution 

of alcohol. The Bolshevik Revolution 

in 1918 created an ideology in America for 

pro-communist support also referred to as 

the “Red Scare” Many strikes and protests 

were common place due to these events. 

Outside of the negative aspects, there are 

much more positive events and influencers of 

the 20s that helped create the change in the 

world we live in today. Influential writers like 

Ernest Hemingway, J. Scott Fitzgerald created 

literary works that are required reading in 

most schools. Artists such as Pablo Picasso 

changed the way we looked at art. Fashion 

designers like Coco Chanel shaped the haute 

couture and created fashion houses that still 

are designing today. The architectural design, 

“Art Deco” replaced the previous design style, 

“Art Nouveau” with bold lines that still resonate 

and is appreciated in our modern times. 

This is just a small look at the people and 

events. I f you do some research, you might 

be surprised at the people and companies 

that were a part of the decade that are still 

around in our current times. 

EGYPTIAN INFLUENCE 

Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel was a French 

fashion designer and businesswoman. The 

founder and namesake of the Chanel brand, she 

was credited in the post-World War I era with 

liberating women from the constraints 

of the “corseted silhouette” and 

popularizing a sporty, casual chic as 

the feminine standard of style. A 

prolific fashion creator, Chanel 

extended her influence beyond

THE GREAT GATSBY 

JOSEPHINE BAKER 

The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel written by 

American author F. Scott Fitzgerald that follows 

a cast of characters living in the fictional towns 

of West Egg and East Egg on prosperous Long 

Island in the summer of 1922. Many literary 

critics consider The Great Gatsby to be one of 

the greatest novels ever written. 

Josephine Baker was an American-born 

French entertainer, French Resistance 

agent, freemason and civil rights activist. 

Her career was centered primarily in 

Europe, mostly in her adopted France. 

She was the first black woman to star in 

a major motion picture, the 1927 silent 

film Siren of the Tropics, directed by 

Mario Nalpas and Henri Étiévant. Her 

performance wearing a banana skirt is 

still spoken about to this day.

The Crossword Puzzle! 

The first book of crossword puzzles was published by Simon & Schuster in 1924. 

Cross-word puzzles had been around for awhile, but didn’t catch on till December 21, 1913, when 

Arthur Wynne, a journalist from Liverpool, England, published a “word-cross” puzzle in the New York 

World that embodied most of the features of the modern genre. It was first known as a Word-Cross 

Puzzle, which then was re-named the Cross-Word Puzzle. 

The puzzles became weekly features in many of the leading newspapers, holding prize competitions 

for completed puzzles. - Keeping the tradition alive, teenLook wants you to earn a prize for completeing 

this Cross-Word Puzzle featuring trivia and facts about the 20’s. - On the right is my version, a 

freeform puzzle, as creating a functional “cross-word puzzle” is extremely time consuming. But, I hope 

you will have fun doing this one! 

• The Rules! 

You must mail in the original cross-word page on the right, printed here in this issue of teenLook. 

Complete the puzzle as best as you can... some of the answers are in this issue, if you get stuck, ask 

your mom & dad to help!
