Playtimes HK Magazine November 2017 Issue | Page 8

welcome T his month at Playtimes we get right into the party spirit with our celebration issue. Inspired by the 15th anniversary of the magazine – yes, it really has been running that long – the imminent festive season and parties in general, (our ultimate party guide is full of ideas on the best venues, caterers, entertainers and suppliers for all your party needs) the pages are packed with fun and excitement. Fashion shoots with kids are always exciting and this month was no different. Our shoot took place at the stunning Maggie & Rose family members club at The Pulse in Repulse Bay, and our models (Caleb, Isaac, Molly, Jack, Maggie and Peter) had a blast! A big thank you to Imi at Zzzoom for capturing the fun. Speaking of models, we revisited the hundreds of fashion shoots Playtimes has done over the years and caught up with some of the stars to find out what they are doing now. Being honest, we could have filled the magazine with just this feature! It’s been really great to see how much the kids have grown up and ask them of their memories from fashion shoots of the past. We are keen to catch up with all our past models, so please do get in touch if you participated in a fashion shoot in the past. We would love to hear from you. Continuing our celebration theme, Jennifer Deayton gives us a humorous take on Thanksgiving, explaining the traditions and meanings. There is some festive fun in the air, too, as we get ready for Christmas. Check out our advent calendar feature, showing some of the best ways to countdown to Christmas – we’ve even got five Smiggle advent calendars to giveaway! There’s also a Skip Hop 2-in-1 Duet Tote Bag up for grabs from Picked by Poppins . As the staff raise a glass to toast 15 years of Playtimes, we would like to thank our advertisers, distributors, contributors, printers and, most importantly, you, our readers, for your support over the years. Until next month, 6 www.playtimes.com.hk
