getting down




I'm off to paint at my dad's for the week ! So I'm not sure how much time I'll have for blogging so here's a blog to the coolest band around.Their music will keep me going with my work . I would love to spend an evening in their place. Talk music, drink wine and watch Allison and Jamie become one with their phenomenal twisted lyrics , experimental beats, and words I never would have put together. These two have inspired me so much musically. Their collaboration is perfect, they make the perfect trouser and I admire every inch.
The first photo is Sasha Pivovarova at the 57th store opening of Mui Mui! Fierce! I love it all <3>








And of course Pete and Carl <3>sorry no credit, I have way too many collected photos on this pc

Gender Neutral

welcome to our fabulous 21rst century
I read this on the subway 2 days ago but I wanted to take a break from blogging because it's all I was dreaming about and scheming.
Here it is. Gender Neutral bathrooms in our Universities for the transgender-friendly http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2008/12/01/7588386-sun.html


I chuckled and thought "as if". Almost right away I felt really happy. Now every he/she has a right and place to be who he/she truly is.Power to the people.

Unfortunately this is still going on http://www.petitiononline.com/seg5130/petition.html

I feel helpless but not hopeless. This must change soon for everyone. It's sad ,terrible mistake.

We are all so totally equal

I love peace




I love Peace. And we have this man to thank. I hate remembering him on the tragic day, so here's a little after toast.
So I'm 20. I didn't live through the "Beatle Mania", The Lennon-Yoko movement or his tragic tragic death.
I was raised musically. Raised in a rock and roll home. Seventies and Eighties rock where I heard dad's ACDC and Rush. Mom introduced me to the women of music and Shania; being as we were settled in a high percentage country area. And I love Shania. Through Shania I learned about The Mama's and the Papas', Ray Charles and other classics.. I don't even recall what got me into the Beatles but I remember the day I did.
The Beatles were never brought into my home from my parents, they weren't their biggest fans. The First Beatles song was my musical revolution lol It was summer, and I was 16 and free on the beach. Past John's sincere smile and Paul's drop dead gorgeous eyes those guys gave me thrills that put BSB in rehab.
From the Beatles came Bob Dylan, to Janis and Patti Smith and other great influences. Through these famed iconic artists I found a new appreciation for lyrics. I was always writing about love and heartbreak. Now I can write about peace, earth, bums and dancing barefoot.
Him and his band drew the world in with their simple, carefree, heartbeat lyrics, their gorgeous looks and boyish charms.
Lennon has that look. When Lennon branched solo, he took people with him. He continued his music with the beautiful Yoko and wrote about Peace, Love and Hope. He made a beautiful family and had a fanbase of people who wanted to change. Who cared, believed and hoped. Lennon was a leader, a motivational speaker and someone we all still admire. Thank you Lennon for giving us
Speech, Hope and Peace. Thank-you for giving Peace a chance, and I am spreading the love to carry on dreams

women have the power


Here's a powerful woman- Madonna for Louis Vuitton <3 Merci Marc
I'm finishing with perfect Monday with a munch-out and A Charlie Brown Christmas.
I love having that woman-esque time of the month
Ever find yourself questioning why food is your number one priority all of a sudden? It's taking over your thoughts and dreams? You can't sleep if you don't eat?
You make your way over to your calendar and sigh. " oh that's why".
:)
so go ahead, have another piece of pie, it's your woman right and monthly treat no man will ever defeat.








Sasha,Milla,Lou and Kate.A couple of the many influential women at Vogue China event. <3

Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things.
I'm sitting here, attempting to study on the main floor. Surrounded by by windows all around me my attention is drawn away from the bland white paper and toward the juicy white snow falling down at a beautiful pace. The pine trees are nicely sugarcoated and the lake is pale blue.
I have my espresso and grapefruit. Flicking between Regis and Kelly (whom are admiring their beautiful New York morning with a wisp of comedy), Sex and the City and pause.... yess Fashion File is on!
This Monday morning is perfect and my exam may go to the dogs, but I can't be bothered at this moment.
Hope everyone has a magical Monday xo

P.S: how come my profile and archives are only showing up at the bottom of my blog? When I chose THIS Template they were on the side like I like them? :(
I missing my camera like mad but this is a google image that sums up my view in front and in the backyard (minus the lake)

grow up




















Tomorow is my last exam.

Then begins my 1 month Holiday :) I have no job and no volunteer work until January. I'm heading to Sudbury with my dad on the 22nd and I find myself tempted to go earlier.
I mean... I have a whole month off and a mom, 3 sisters ,3 dogs and 2 cats I miss terribly.

However

Toronto is my home now. I have a roommate, a new home, a new school and a new life. Should I run home , (mom's home), early?

Or do I stay here with Chris, keep myself busy and resist from the comforts of home and lazing around with the cats all day. awe cats.
This was my decision to move here and make a life of my own. I kept playing house and finding myself "over-caring" if I may say for my household. I love my family.

But I think I'll stick to the plan.
I won't go home early. It would be too much of a home-comfort tease.

c'est la vie.

Wicked scuptural pieces. I'm obsessed. These two are the ulimate muse for the mold of the spread ' ashes and bones.' Adrogyny meets Goth for the seasons hottest pieces. I don't have the name of the designer pieces but go buy this mag. Or at least look up the rest of the editorial. I saw it on TFS but here's the mag's website:http://www.zoomagazine.de/the_magazine/current_issue/

It's Sublime.
