Last night I went to the Escada fashion show at the Spoke Club. It was fun. The clothes were nice. Nothing stood out to make me REALLY excited. The models were skinny as usual. It was really nice to be at the Spoke again after such a long winter. It made me excited for summer! I saw familiar faces including Tony Charr, Julian & Derek.
We had a really nice time. Our bartender was making these lovely cocktails with fresh crushed raspberries. It was delicious.
I went to the AGO last night and heard some wonderful stories from the staff there. I am surprised by their extensive knowledge about the artwork. I had a man tell me the wonderful story of Daedalus and Icarus. I did not know this story and hearing it from someone who truly has a love for the art was beautiful. This photo is not the one in the AGO, however, I recommend you go check it out for yourself, the story, and the painting. I also found a secret study and that is all I am saying about that.
I have the afternoon off for a photo shoot which is always fun! You know I love having my picture taken! The temperature is warmer today than it has been all week and I’m feeling rays of sunshine. I’m heading out of town tomorrow to visit one of my longest standing BFF’s. I’ll be posting from Guelph, Ontario!
Here is a photo of me as an old ‘Sexy Bag’. It really makes me smile! Happy Friday all!!
I know Kelly through a friend and I today noticed a link on her FBto her myspaceand was like, shit damn Kell, you really know how to rock it. Her sound is beautiful and the beats are soulful yet modern. I’m listening to her right now. ‘Can’t Change Me’ me is my favorite one.
Tonight watched Beautiful People on Slice. If you don’t know what Beautiful People is you may not have been on the Internet for the last year and probably should see a doctor. Right now.
Beautiful People (BP) is an exclusive agency for meeting other people, except it only lets in the pretty ones. No boring and no ugly ones either. It’s beauties meeting beauties. The members vote and if you’re hot enough, then you can join. If not, you get a message that says “the beautiful people don’t think you are attractive enough“. I suggest you take a look at it for fun. I find it interesting however not surprising that a business like this exists this and Slice broadcasts it right into my very own room.
There was a commercial for Botox during the break and it emphasized the importance of “freedom of expression”. This, I am also thankful for, the expression that is, not the Botox. An actress from Toronto got rejected by Beautiful People (BP) and found inspiration in that to get plastic surgery all over her face. They told her that she looked tired and sunken and she needs some work done. Her inspiration inspired me and I drew on my face but I don’t want to change it.
The two blokes who started the company said “PR is the cornerstone of their business”. They like the media and guerrilla marketing because it is cheap & effective and gets lots of attention. They like lots of attention. They like to get people talking. They like to cross borders and make you stretch what you think is normal. They like to shake your mind a bit. They like to get you moving.
The Beautiful People boys did a fine number by projecting an message on the side of one of our downtown buildings. It lasted two hours before the cops shut it down but it lasted much longer once the media grabbed it.
I think to myself, have we lost it. The economy is in the shitter. People are all walking around like The Sims, looking the same in the face, wearing the same clothes, going to the same places, seeing the same people. Boring. Boring Boring.
There are a couple people whom I find quite interesting because I see them doing somehting different. White Rabbit, Jon Dube and Optiadmedia; its all creative inspiration of different mediums. The time has come for the rising of the arts and those who are Borderline Artistic will no longer be hiding.
It was really nice to be at the Spoke again after such a long winter. It made me excited for summer! I saw familiar faces including Tony Charr, Julian & Derek.
