Helloooo Fellow Hunters & Gatherer's
My name is Christina, I hail from the semi-small, underrated town of Peterborough, Ontario. I moved to the big city to take Creative Advertising at Seneca College since then I've held positions in Advertising, Promotions, Graphic Design, Publishing, Marketing and Sales. I also have an extensive Modeling background. I lived and worked in Toronto in my related field for 4years, then my life went to hell in a handbasket (break-up). I moved home to good ole Ma's house and re-designed my life. I use to LOATHE my town but after a year Peterborough grew on me like weeds in a garden. I decided to pursue a business STRUTT with my partner, Alisa Lillico. I bloomed where I was planted and we have began to change the fashion scene in Peterborough by launching this August the ONLY fashion magazine- ST[i]LED and modeling/talent agency- STRUTT.

One thing I learned from moving back home is that GPA (Greater Peterborugh Area) is filled with talented models, photographers, writers and artists. We have a fantastic arts community, unique shopping experience and a HUGE student population due to Trent University and Fleming College. Publisher Michael Bell and I launched ST[i]LED Magazine August 07,2010. It has made a BIG splash in Peterborough. We published an article called Cheekie Bitches, a column on sex and relationships. Already there is controversy in this town over the content and the fact we published the word BITCH in a local magazine. First, let me remind you Peterborough has the most churches per capita in Ontario. In the past we've been a very conservative city in regards to what we publish in the media. Our arts community does not reflect this, so therefore we are about to change that.

I intend to bring to trendhunter a taste of what small towns can produce. There are a lot of big fishes in this small pond. I will hunt them down, catch them and put them on display for all of the trendzies to see. And remind people to never forget about the small guys! ;-D
