On Saturday, 09 June 2018 a lifestyle products photo shoot on the top floor of an upscale condominium at 38 Joe Shuster Way peered down on a monumental rugby game happening below in Lamport Stadium, and Velago Patio Furniture was part of the luxury being showcased on the balcony.
The shoot was organized by a food company and our furniture was practically donated to the cause and together with another exhibitor we decorated an empty apartment balcony space with style.
This unique VIP event was conceived to put interesting people in an interesting space for an afternoon. We gathered high above the cheering crowd on the concrete bleachers – Lamport Stadium has no roof or sun shade of any kind. The sponsor’s idea was to contrast high-quality condo lifestyle with the more uncomfortable pedestrian fan-experience below. To that end they invited a couple other interesting sponsors and several notable influencers, bloggers, and models, photographers and makeup artists to come share the space and admire the view from the balcony that afternoon.
The Premier Matrix: the geography of Toronto plays a big part in determining the value of luxury condominiums in the city. People like living downtown and near the water and they like handy locations with high visibility and high walk scores; the ‘walk score’ is a grade out of 100 which calculates the nearby amenities – listed among the data is always the number of fun things to do on the weekends. Nothing could be better than owning a space overlooking a sports arena or in this case a soccer stadium which a world class rugby den has renamed The Wolf’s Den.
FemEvolve follows Toronto Wolfpack Rugby
Christina Paruag from FemEvolve health magazine was one of the spectators on the porch that afternoon, and as it turns out, she’s a passionate Canadian rugby fan. Saturday 09 June was the season home opener. Toronto Wolfpack, now a second-year English rugby league team, took to the newly refurbished artificial turf at Lamport Stadium and dominated the London Broncos from start to finish, winning 32-12.
According to TekWyse, the official sponsor of this home opener game and the source of many tweets and Instagram stories, there were 7343 people inside Lamport Stadium that afternoon. And of course, we know that even more fans were watching the game online, on CBC television, and in the balconies of all the luxury condominiums facing the stadium on King St. And although the balcony at 38 Joe Shuster Way, 19th floor corner unit had a lovely view of the field, nobody at our event was really paying too much attention to the game to be honest; they were preoccupied with the happenings inside the luxury condo.
At 4:30 pm, the Chef got busy at the bender whipping-up Mango Cherry smoothies and Pina Coladas like you’ve never tasted before. One scoop of egg white powder adds meat to the juice. The models seen below are wearing the ‘clear’ egg white powder face masks while sitting on the Ronco outdoor sofa.
Party goers ate their pizza out on the porch. Velago Patio Furniture donated a Ronco outdoor conversation set to the display lounge on the balcony. In this example, our Canadian company battles big box stores to help citizens enjoy the great outdoors and elevate their quality of life. Made from durable all-weather resin wicker and other high-quality materials, Velago’s outdoor patio furniture sets have a reputation for keeping their shape and surviving the toughest weather conditions on the planet – icy cold Canadian winters and scorching hot summers.
The Egg Powered Meat & Greet
Attendees who made smoothies and helped compose egg white powder face mask recipes with Jennifer Turner of Modern Makeup in Toronto, all received free Sunbeam 6 cup blenders and one full kilogram of Caneggs egg white powder to take home and continue their experimentations.
