Hello again, FASHION18 readers!

Today I am writing from an Internet cafe in Rossland, B.C. We are on tour in Canada and this has to be the most beautiful time of year to experience this country! We started in Vancouver, B.C. and already I have seen the ocean, the rainforest, the Rocky Mountains and the desert. British Columbia is one of the most beautiful places, and to have grown up here, you sometimes can take such beauty for granted.

Hi all,
 
Tasha here from Lillix. We are still on our western Canada tour, having arrived in Saskatoon last night! Once we arrived, Lacey and I stayed up watching Max Fleischer's Color Classics cartoons late into the night. It’s a collection of 33 rarely seen cartoons. Some of my favourites are Betty Boop’s Poor Cinderella, Grampy in Christmas Comes But Once a Year, and my ultimate favourite, Somewhere in Dreamland. Made in the 1930s, the animation in these cartoons was very advanced for the time. It’s funny how I get shook up when I watch these movies; they remind me of my childhood and how I will never be able to get it back. I will never be three years old again and it’s kind of sad. The other element that made these cartoons so special was the music. The music touches on every emotion from laughing to crying, and sometimes it can also cause a feeling of disturbance.
