Powerball

by Gillian on June 15, 2012

The Power Plant Gallery celebrated its 25th anniversary last night with “Power Ball: Quarter-Life Crisis”.

Extremely appropriate for this time in my life, the annual ball’s theme this year was all about the joys and inner turmoil of turning 25.  This was celebrated all over the Power Plant’s space with art, sculptures, film and performances.

The Power Plant is Canada’s leading public gallery devoted exclusively to contemporary visual art.  I have always wanted to attend this event after catering it years ago and being completely enamoured with the wild decor, outfits and abundance of beautifully presented food.  So when my friend Ashleigh asked me to go a few hours before the event, I put my stress aside and said “yes“.

You’re only 25 once, right?

All in all it was a super fun evening that reminded me I should be having a little more fun at this time in my life.  Less stress, more art, more time spent with good friends, and much more living in the moment is in order.

first of all, you look like a total babe in that topshop dress! second, this is a good reminder to me to stop acting like such an old person and go out more during my work week ;) in my defense i did enjoy an adult beverage 4 times in the last 7 days and one of those included day drinking. i give myself some credit to hydrate this weekend with some whole, nourishing foods! definitely needed!!

Je t’adore. And yes, I’m a 90-year-old at heart but have been making an effort to let go a little lately. Definitely in hydration now too! I think I overdid my limit big time!

You look so gorgeous!! I adore that dress. I definitely could use a little more fun this time in my life, I sometimes take things too seriously. I’m only 21, I should be out living! Great reminder!

Thanks love! And yes, it’s hard to let go sometimes but when you do it is so worth it! You should definitely be enjoying yourself at 21 (and every year after)!
