Yesterday I had my first official Jukari class with Carla at King West Fitness. Such beautiful gym. I’ve wanted to workout (in general but) at this gym for years. Very happy they’ve invited me in. Thanks guys! I can kick way higher than this but it’s not so easy with camera in your hand to balance and not look silly. Trust me. I practice. These are shoes for Jukari and great for indoor workouts. Reebok Canada hooked me up. They’re REALLY light and the mesh on the top/sides is like AC for your feet. Carla (or the teacher) yells “hup hup” and you go back & jump high or kick etc. It’s really fun. This is me in action. We are running in circles & doing half moons here. Off the ground! Frog leap. FLYING! My Monday class is advanced Jukari for dancers. I needed something harder than my first class. Basically, I really wanna work hard & sweat. To be honest, my body is hurting today in arms, abs, legs, shoulders. It’s a full body workout. Can’t wait to feel it tomorrow 🙂 Last time I was at King West Fitness for the launch of Jukari Slice.ca was there & made this video. You can see bits of me, I’m on the far left during the class. Tina asked Julie about the benefits etc. of Jukari. Post workout we used this thinger that is for Trigger Point Therapy. You roll your back legs etc on it. It hurts but feels good. Y’know, the good hurt (burn). I have some free passes so if you wanna try Jukari let me know!

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the 10th Anniversary of FITC in Toronto. This year’s event was held at one of Toronto’s premiere venues, The Guvernment. There was a charming 1950’s theme carried throughout the venue with cotton candy, bow ties, popcorn and fun decorations. Safe to say, it was a real experience being there during business hours! FITC (Flash In a Can) is one of the largest and longest running events of its kind. It brings together brings together a wide range of digital enthusiasts from around the globe. Attendees included Flash designers & developers, motion graphic artists, digital artists and anyone with an interest in Flash and/or digital media. The schedule for FITC Toronto was jam packed with over 70 presentation in over three days. At any given time there were four presentation happening in different rooms with another session in the voodoo lounge upstairs. It was really cool to see the dance club/rave space transformed to conference mode! Read my Full Aticle on TAXI here.

My friend from NYC makes the coolest ever clothes from latex. Next week I’m heading to Florida with my sister and I’m gonna see her. HI BABE! Lady Gaga recently requested a custom design from her and wore performing. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHmazing. She’s an awesome girl and I’m so proud of her work & to know her. Check her out on Perez! Latex just got sexier!!

I had a great weekend. You? Did some reading and surfing. I love surfing ocean/internet. Saturday I had a date with myself where I  freely explored Etsy, picking up a few choice pieces from around the world. I read articles from my RSS, got lost in tumblr, and shared things I found along the way. This video is a short documentary about Influence that explores what it means to be an influencer. It pays special attention to trends and people in history. I really love how it shines light on the fact that creativity is contagious in music, fashion and entertainment. I hope you enoy it. Would love to know your thoughts. Please share in comments! Happy Monday 🙂
