MOST Magazine Fashion MAY-JUNE'15 ISSUE NO.9 | Page 6

e are beginning the season of celebrations. In the US, we celebrate our Mothers in May with their special day. June brings graduates to slap on the back and of course Father’s Day to honor our dads. In light of Mothers Day, we want to recognize the mothers that are behind our wonderful staff and contributors here at MOST Magazine. I want to start with recognition of my beautiful mother, Maryam Habashian. She has been selfless in her love for me, and her artistic passions continually inspire me. We would like to ask ours and your moms: Please stand up and dip a curtsey: Maryam Habashian, Raedine Schroeder, Amy Price (two curtsies), Jennifer Davis, Elizabeth Fyne-Nsofor, Cheri Bloom, Julia Watts, Mary Tharp, Cristina de Jave, Sandhya Ghangrekar, Miriam Jave, Tammy Thomson, Molly Reardon and Bernadine Jones. The characteristics that our mothers genetically pass on or foster in us may be those that make us artistic, curious, dedicated and responsible even imaginative. As you start reading through this issue, there are so many outstanding photographs that we hope will stir your imagination. There is an ethereal, dreamy, fairy-tale feel that floats through the pages. It is amazing how the photographers this month lead us to escape, imagine, dream. I hope in your mind you can add a story with the wonderful variety of shots, if you can, please share them with us on any of our social media pages, we love to hear from our readers.
