The Story of Americarna A La Mode

The Magpie and the Dragonfly

Once upon a time there was a dragonfly  whose head was in the clouds and who flitted from beautiful thing to beautiful thing .  One day dragonfly was planning a huge trip but before her trip she saw a vision, a vision of such beauty her wings stopped beating for just a moment.  Her vision was so perfect she realized that she must make sure it happened... but she was due to leave...who would help her?  So she flew to her friend Magpie and told her what she saw.  Now magpie she rubbed her feathers together and said “That is a beautiful dream Dragonfly... how can I help?”  Dragonfly said “you could be my getter while I am gone” and Magpie said “no problem...the shinier the better.” 

So Dragonfly went on her trip and while she was gone through the miracle of Facebook...yes Magpies and Dragonflies also use the blessed thing, she told Magpie all that she needed to make her dream come true....13 vintage American cars and drivers, 17 beautiful models, a girl Friday, 5 hair artists, 4 makeup artists, a costumier, a clothing designer, two graphic designers, a printer, a real estate tycoon, a photography shop, a photographer, a garage, a studio, some food and drink, a stint on the Morning Show,  a fire on a beach, firemen, the parks department, and a baby.  Magpie flew until her feathers were falling out but Magpie found them all.  And when the labour was complete...out popped Dragonfly’s vision: Americarna A la Mode..a beautiful charity calendar made by Wellington Creatives to support the most vulnerable of our community the families in with babies in the Special care unit . 

In the middle of producing the calendar the Christchurch Earthquake hit and the Printers said why don’t you print some more to raise money for the people of Christchurch.  Magpie and Dragonfly said....but of course.  So each calendar you buy supports the good people of Christchurch and the beautiful babies of the special care unit at the Hutt Hospital.

Calendars will be available by the end of April and are Anniversary calendars so they never expire.

cheers,
