Meet The Gang

I'd like you to meet my girlfriends.

This is Kate. Kate is twenty four years old and lives with her father in a spacious Vancouver apartment. She is a huge yoga buff and recently landed her dream job at Lululemon Athelica. She is short, spunky, and full of life. Great fashion sense, and a great head of curls decorating a slightly light headed personality. Spacey yes, but very honest.

Next is Claire. A dark, tall, ballerina shaped beauty, all of twenty six years old. Coming from wealth, she lives with her parents in West Van, and works at a gym as a personal trainer. Her true aspiration is to be a ballet dancer, but is trying to convince herself social work is her forte.

Natalie. Twenty three years old, brown haired and voluptuous, and full of happiness. Happiness hiding a painful past. In this way Natalie and I are quite similar. We bubble with personality to escape a lingering reality. But that's another story. Natalie is a stewardess, and lives with her recovering alcoholic mother.

Oh Jules. Julie is all of twenty two, and is hard as rock. The no pain, no gain type. She broadcasts, I feel no feelings, yet underneath is a deep old soul. Dark hair, dark eyes, and expressive tattoos. Artistic in may ways, Julie enjoys photography. She works as a server at a local club.

Natasha. The mama hen. Twenty three years old, acts twenty eight. European, blonde, and naturally beautiful. Natasha has a sense of maturity we all look up to. A sense of knowledge about herself we all wish we could attain. A woman of many talents, she is never still yet amazingly grounded. A fashionista, godmother, and pioneer all rolled into one.

Then there's Gillian. The oldest of us all at twenty seven. Very driven and career orientated, she runs her own business downtown Vancouver. Relationships come last with this one. Standing all of 5'6", this brunette has one thing in mind. We're just not sure if it's fame or money.

Last but not least, Emma. The most inexperienced of us all, relationship speaking. The youngest of the group at twenty, Emma is far from naive on every topic except men. She always speaks her mind, which limits the amount of social bonding she has with those around her. A sweet girl, but blunt. Not being an obvious knockout, she carries a certain 'men are stupid' energy to mask the reality of wanting a boyfriend.

I guess that leaves me. Kristen Marks, hitting quarter life crisis this year with the big twenty five. I am a dance instructor living in a bright Kitsilano studio that faces the beach. I am tall, slender, brown hair, brown eyes, the usual.

Now that you know all of us, here are our stories.
