It's like a heatwave

In these tumultuously heated times, one can only anticipate how discomforting and unnecessary putting together an outfit can be. Sometimes, you just wanna throw on an old 'fruit of the loom' tank and flips flops and be done with it. But come on party people, we can do better than that. Here is my oh so gorgeous buddy Emily. I put together some of these outfits (did not take long mind you) keeping at the forefront, the fact that it is 49 degrees here in Toronto. They're breezy, lightweight pieces. And even just adding a flashy hat or a crochet sweater to an all too casual outfit can give life to your look without compromising anything. We all know the benefits to a hat on a sunny day, and the crochet can let good old oxygen dance on in, everyone wins!

till we meet again,

Hey Stinky: Shave Your Arm Pits!

Thought of the day:  If you are one of those people who choose not to shave your arm pits, don't also be one of those people who refuse to wear deodorant !  JUST SAYIN'!

Okay I know we live in progressive times, when woman no longer need to fit into a sterotypical ideal of what the world wants them to be.  And I truly feel that this is a great time to be a Woman.  Glass cealings are being smashed every day by pioneers in fashion, science, politics and so on.  But in this progression I feel have we lost some gender rules that should be reinstated.  Like SHAVING YOUR GOD DAMN ARMPITS!   Out here on the West cost it seems to be widely acceptable to grow a bush under your arms, and that is something I can just not get down with. 

 Once upon a time in m life, I too rocked crochet tops and patcholli, listend to Janis Joplin and ate mushrooms for breakfast.  But I drew the line at excessive, stinky, unsighly body hair.  Here are a few woman that should also draw that line......

AND AS FOR ME:  I'M Back in Action!

IN OTHER NEWS, Yesterday I signed my first legal contract as a freelance designer.  I'm going to be creating Tech Packs for a company that develops collections for major labels- AND according to the contract- that's about all I can tell you.  I must say it was a little intimidating.  I defiantly translated some of the complex lingo in google.
I'm starting to feel like I might be one of the lucky ones.  Like I might be able to make this whole fashion thing work as a career.  The other day someone even described me as "Driven".  DRIVEN?  Really? ME?  I guess I never really saw myself that way.  When you have a clear picture of what you want out of life, you gravitate toward it with ease.  When that picture becomes foggy, like it has over the past year, it starts to feel like a struggle.  So, yeah, I guess you could say I'm driven. But mostly driven by the fact that I have absolutely NO back up plan if this doesn't work out.  Well I guess I could always give Medicine a shot!

A Big Huge Wiener and Back Lane Graffiti

Wow I can not believe how many people have viewed my blog in the last few days.  Pretty Cool! OH and THANK YOU!  

I stayed home sick from work today and I feel like a bag of trash.  That being said I can't really think of anything worthy to write, so look at these pics and I'll see you tomorrow!  

Honesty this could have read: "I love Kung-Fu"-Bruce Lee- and I still would have found some sort of meaning in it because it's from Bruce Lee.

A Little Back-Lane art.  This space was so small I don't know how people got back there to paint it.  Amazing.  

More Street Wisdom

 This Guy makes me feel Equally scared and happy.  And a little hungry.

This is taken through a giant hunk of metal sits on the corner of Granville and Georgia.  I'm not sure what it is, but I'm sure it's some sort of west coast expresionist art.  Hobo's like to sit on it. 

Does anyone remember Alex Mac?  It looks like the blob she used to turn into on that show!

For those of you living under a big giant rock.... When Vancouver lost the Stanley cup, all hell broke loose on this corner.  After the volunteers boarded up the giant shop windows.  People began writing messages of peace, love, and unity on the sheets of wood.  One clever person even wrote "First Riots-Now Graffiti??? Get it together Vancouver !!!!

This older lady is still keeping it gangster with a broken arm.  Although the botox doesn't allow you to see it- She's actually smiling right now!

NO NO TO CAMEL TOE

This post is not going to be deep, or smart, or enlightened.  This is a few thoughts on- YEP- CAMEL TOE! THAT'S RIGHT- THE DREADED CAMEL TOE.

This topic crossed my mind as I watched an attractive young lady cross the street wearing an interesting pair of trousers.  By interesting, I mean that it look as though her lady parts were eating the fly of her pants.   Not to long ago one of my male friends, who's opinion I respect very much, informed me that some camel toe is sexy.  He said that it is comparable to a girl seeing a "nicely formed outline" on a guy.                           HOLD UP- WHAT?????  Because I think it's more comparable to seeing a guy rocking a greasy mullet and beat up Brooks runners! Here is what is wrong with camel toe:

IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT!
