AA Absurdity of the Week.

You wanna be strapless, droopy and hippie all at the same time? Then American Apparel has a solution for you!





You know, I've already stated how you are not allowed to wear these anymore.
Show the world your deliciously shaped ass!

Also, you can now purchase your favorite AA leggings that have been lovingly altered by Freddy Krueger:



Why didn't Lindsay Lohan think of this idea?!
Please don't let the highness of the slits discourage you from wearing a skirt, however.


I heart my Am App.

Bark!

Hi there.

So I'm over the aura-shattering day I had last week, you know the one?
Yeah, that one.
Anyhoo,
I saw Bruno last night! I laughed and laughed....the psychic scene killed me.
Critics can suck it.

Also saw this French horror movie called Martyrs.
Basically, it makes the Hostel franchise look as threatening as Teletubbies.
I don't think I've ever seen anything so disturbing, and I've seen a LOT of sick shit.
I felt impure after...like I went through something.
I even considered stopping it and I never do that...
recommended!
I think Papa J has called a moratorium on my horror movie renting.






For the Canadians,
had these guys on my mind lately:

............................

Seems like summer is a bad time for me to blog.....
yesterday I was feeling worn out and stressed and I had this urge to just delete the whole thing
and step away from the laptop for a while.
Okay, maybe deleting is drastic, I enjoy reading my archives sometimes, don't you?
Every blogger can attest to the fact that there is a huge disparity between what actually occurs in their own life versus what they decide to post about for computer-land each day.
What did I do yesterday for real?
I woke up and had breakfast with Papa J at Bonjour Brioche in the east end of Toronto then I worked in my shop all day. I had a nap and then we went to the Afrofest in Queen's Park. Later we had a drink at Cafe Diplimatico then went to see Josh play at Whippersnapper Gallery.
We came home, watched a bit of The Craft on tv then fell asleep.
I don't have one photo to prove that I did any of those things so in blogland, did they really happen?
Sometimes you have to put down the camera, and be "in the moment." I used to hate that phrase...
My life is beautiful and fun and amazing, even with the absence of $900 shoes and free shit from Topshop. Imagine!?
I like being a voyeur and gleaning snippets from other people's lives but that is just what they are, snippets. A fragment of a full and real life....
I couldn't give a fuck about Google Analytics or commenting on banal fashion blogs just so someone else will read mine.
I do this for fun or when I am feeling creative or need to throw some burning annoyance out into cyberspace.
Blogging is thankless and for the most part, rewardless...unless you do that advertising shit.
I also despise these cliche blogger fatigue issues....
Maybe I just don't feel like it right now, is all.

We were celebrating the return of Jay's sister Marnie who just came home from a year in France:

There I am on the left.....one of the people who got the memo.

Yay Canada!

Happy Canada Day yesterday!!!
I took a day off so I could read, have naps, drink beer and eat Pad Thai with Papa J!
Best holiday ever.......


Here is Edith M. at the cottage:


So grown up!

And Baby Bill too.....he didn't care for me all that much. I guess we are strangers *sniffle*.....

Going to the cottage tonight to see Edith M. and Baby Bill............


Found the most amazing Chinese grocery store near Cherry Beach.....

It was beautiful.........



Yes, I would like a Melty Kiss...........




Delicious ocean insects:

There was one noodle in the sand, calm down!
