Picture this: Different pieces of your life—thoughts, memories, and emotions—swirling around in a cloud above you. When you want to address an item, envision yourself reaching up to string these pieces together, if you can even manage to capture the right ones. Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in this whirlwind. It sucks you in, tousles you about, and throws you out in a windblown mess.

We understand that life is not neat. Thoughts, memories, and emotions are not organized, but instead tangled, twisted, and constantly on the move. And, being human, we are always in pursuit of straightening everything out and putting these pieces in their rightful places.

We are like you, driven to catch up with the storm. But six months ago we decided to stop the relentless storm chase to stand back and admire the beauty of it. We stripped down our image, vision, and mission, and looked back to the basics to build our foundation. We wanted our first issue of this year to reflect that time we spent. From focusing on the simple elements of design in style—shape, color, and proportion—to using unexpected ingredients from nature, we are looking to the resources we have around us. This includes the talent we have here in our very own city—the artists and craftsmen that rank among the best.

We invite you to join us in taking a step back. We are excited to share our latest issue and our new vision with you as we admire the beauty of this crazy thing called life.

and smells of what summer food

is meant to be. Experiment with

organically sourced florals for a surprise

twist on your favorite dishes.

FRESH &BRIGHTAROMATIC& LIGHT

4 large parsnips2 T. olive oil2 T. dried parsley

Parsnips are a sweeter, tangy ancestor to the carrot. This recipe can be made with rutabaga, kohlrabi or turnips.

Wash and peel the parsnips to remove all dirt. Thinly slice into long strips and lay in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle the parsley over the top by first rubbing between your hands to awaken the aromas. Top with cracked pepper, and toss to evenly coat each piece. Bake at 425 �F for 30 minutes, or until they are a golden brown.

4 T. melted butter3 cloves fresh garlic, thinly sliced3 green onions, finely chopped1 ½ T. fennel seeds, ground with a mortar & pestlezest of 2 lemonszest 1 orangejuice of 1 orange (see note)2 T. fresh tarragonfresh cracked pepper1 ½ tsp. thyme1 ½ lb skinned salmon¾ tsp. cayenne pepper

In a small bowl, combine garlic, green onions, ground fennel seeds, fruit zest, and the fresh herbs: tarragon and thyme. Add some freshly cracked pepper. Once combined, pour in the melted butter and stir. It will be thick and paste-like.

Preheat the oven to 300 �F. Prepare a baking dish with olive oil. Choose one large enough to fit your entire piece of salmon, but not too large that will let the heat escape. Continued on next page.

Citrusy Tarragon Salmon

To prepare this simple salad, make a bed of fresh arugula. Cut up sections of pink grapefruit, removing any excess of the white bitter membrane. Sprinkle with goat cheese and toasted walnuts.

For the dressing, combine ½ C. freshly squeezed lemon juice, ½ C. olive oil, 2 T. honey and 1 T. fresh lavender, chopped. Pour a small amount over the top, and add freshly cracked pepper.

1 orange, peeled¼ C. honey1 C. fresh whole basil leaves16 oz. frozen strawberries

If you have an ice cream feature on your blender, follow your manufacturer’s instructions. The notes below are for a Blendtec blender.

First blend the orange, honey and basil to meld the flavors on a lower setting. Then add in the frozen strawberries and blend until thick, ending with the highest setting. If you are making ahead of time, store in your freezer, and remove to thaw 2 hours before serving. If not, place in the freezer and remove immediately before serving.

Strawberry Basil Sorbet

Citrusy Tarragon Salmon,Continued from previous page:

Before the citrus rub, use paper towels to soak up any moisture from the fish. Then season it with a little coarse sea salt. Spread half of the citrus spread on the skinned side, and place facing down in the dish. Spread the remaining on top and sprinkle with cayenne pepper. Let the salmon stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Pour the freshly squeezed orange juice into the dish, surrounding the salmon. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, uncover the salmon and broil for another 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque in the center.

By contrasting textures and mixing old with new, Ashley Barlow creates eclectic yet inviting spaces. The artist welcomed us into her home, and we saw just how attainable her enviable aesthetic can be.www.ashleybarlow.com

Can’t find an old wooden bench at an antique store? This look can be easily replicated with matte white paint, coarse sandpaper and a little elbow grease. Don’t be afraid to let the natural wood show through.

This vintage First Aid cabinet (below) is truly one-of-a-kind. But you can achieve the industrial feel

with a metal storage cabinet. Don’t look for home decor, but instead

“utility” or “industrial.”

Fur gives a room a touch of luxury. You can find a faux

sheepskin rug at Ikea, or a fur blanket at Target for under $30.

A throw pillow with a fun pattern goes a long way. This single statement pillow adds a punch of movement, and definitely attracts the eye.

Fresh flowers immediately offer life and beauty, and they

don’t have to be expensive. Check out the weekend

Farmers Market to support local growers. Flowers can keep upwards of a week if

you maintain the water and remove dead blooms.

You don’t have to be a hunter to take part in this latest trend. Pottery Barn, Etsy and even Fleet Farm offer a number of antler options, from natural and rustic, to pristine and symmetrical.

ALL MODELS ARE TALL, BLONDE, SKINNY, AND REALLY, REALLY GOOD-LOOKING (CUE ZOOLANDER FACE)FALSE! On a daily basis agents are booking all shapes, sizes, and ethnicities.

From newborns to grandparents, no one is too young or too old to call himself

or herself a model. The word “model” can have multiple meanings. There are

different divisions within an agency, and jobs range from voiceovers, television

commercials, movies, print, hand/foot modeling, makeup artists and stylists. In

the files you can find Santa Claus, men and women with special needs, twins,

and the coolest hair colors you ever did see (even rainbow!).

“I’m a model agent.” When I speak those words, I never know

how people will react. The modeling industry can be looked down

upon and is often criticized. Luckily, I’ve had a lot of experiences

as a model and, on the other side, as a booker. I like to think I know a

thing or two about the industry as my experiences have given me a

very unique and well-rounded view of what it means to be a model.

There are several common misconceptions about the modeling

industry—some that I never even knew existed until becoming

involved with this profession. When I actually inform people of the

truth, they’re either great actors or genuinely stunned. Yes, I may be a

bit biased because I love what I do and there’s not a person I wouldn’t

recommend it to, but I want to give an objective opinion for those

who may not be so sure about the business.

33

Yes, companies are going to book your “typical” model for some projects.

This will probably never change, and that’s ok because they deserve it just

as much as anyone else. However, a lot of companies also want “real.” Many

businesses in Minneapolis prefer to hire models that will represent their target

market. Perhaps surprisingly, this tends to be more common than hiring your

stereotypical runway/swimsuit model.

MODELING IS EASYNo, it’s not a triathlon, but these people work hard. There can be extremely long

hours, patience can be tested while sitting in the makeup chair, and holding

some poses for hours can leave you feeling sore. Imagine having to run the

track for hours to get that perfect shot of the soon-to-be released running shoe

or memorizing lines with only one night to spare.

Rejection can also take a toll. Casting calls occur every day and no one books

them all, not even Heidi Klum. Developing thick skin is key. All models will

have their fair share of letdowns, but auditions only make them better and

more prepared for the next.

I am in charge of the Children’s Division at my agency, and one story I like to

share with my families is about a mother and her daughter with whom I work

“Many businesses in Minneapolis prefer to hire models that will represent their target market.”

closely. They were very dedicated in attending castings, yet I wouldn’t hear her

name when the casting directors would call with their selections. But one day, a

huge national commercial audition was taking place, and the mother sounded

discouraged (rightfully so). She wasn’t seeing any reward after the preparation

and multiple trips for the go-sees. I told them, “Give it another shot and see

what happens.” Sure enough, she booked the gig!

MODELS AREN’T INTELLIGENTI don’t even like typing that statement. The agents and I are constantly

complimenting models on how successful and bright they are. Some have

full time jobs and modeling is more of an enjoyable hobby. Our roster is a

compilation of lawyers, doctors, teachers, etc. Other young models are putting

away money so they can attend a university. Their busy schedules amaze me

(especially parents), yet they juggle it all gracefully. The ambitious talent that

walks in and out of our office is what inspires me day after day. If it didn’t, I

wouldn’t be going on my fourth year as an agent.

The purpose of this piece isn’t to try and convince you to be a model, but to

offer you a different, more honest perspective on the modeling industry. By

no means am I downplaying anyone that has had an unpleasant experience,

because I know that happens and I’ve heard a lot of those stories firsthand. My

sole desire is to inform you of the experiences I’ve witnessed and questions

that I’ve been repeatedly asked. Modeling is a varied industry, full of all types

of people: hardworking people, intelligent people, and every other type

you can imagine. The word “model” is distorted. It has no definition and no

limitations. You are a model.
