You Look aLike a Celebrity!

I had to give it a try. I saw photos pf people I knew and famous faces poppin up all over Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. I’ve gotten Sharon Stone before and Nicole Richie is the most common celebrity match I’ve had the last ten years.

Here are my celebrity matches:

Madonna, Spielberg, maybe I have a famous looking face? I always loved Brittany Murphy.

The app is called aLike and it’s free for iPhone. Download, select photo of you or someone else, and voila, you have a match. Think Lauren looks like an Patricia Arquette, oui, non?

It’s a bit smart this app, I tried with a photo I took of Adrian Grenier and IT PICKED Adrian Grenier.

I cruised around my fav area (current construction zone) Queen/Spadina. My condo is right up the street and I really feel I can do just about anything in this neighbourhood. There’s lots of places to eat, drink, shop, or just hang out. There’s always lots happening, the streets are busy, and you’re close to the water or highway for a quick getaway.

Do You Believe in Magic?

I do.

 

But you have to create it.

You have to build it.

Manufacture it.
The means of production are all yours.
Open the doors to the factory inside your mind.
Let it all out. Let it spill over the sides of everything and flood the basement.

Build a house out of it.

Build a life.
A magical life to live.

This was a fun lil’ afternoon project yesterday. Took flowers and make my first summer flower crown. I used to make heaps of things as a kid, I really should make more. You should make more.

I’ve penciled in some time with my sewing machine, Zoey. We’re well over due for a hang out.

Dreams, Films, Marriage, Comedy, Crop Tops, & Waterfalls

Hello & happy Friday! I’m at 1188 Films doin’ some work today. I had the weirdest dream last night. I documented it in audio when I woke up. I hope you enjoy it. He is in Toronto in September, it must be a sign.

New episode of my show on Coral actually comes out Friday next week (my bad!) and then one each week thereafter. Here’s a screenshot of me wearing a crop top I made from an Epilogger shirt. DIY FTW.

I was also reminded of this wonderful jam this morning and it’s been stuck in my head for hours. Guess what? YOU CAN HAVE IT NOW!

Have an awesome day!

Another Day For You and Me in Paradise

 Dear Diary, Great sleep. Good day. Lots to get done. Heat wave. Sunshine. Summer love. Tomorrow is Friday the 13th and I wanna get tattooed.

Tuesday night I popped into ‘Mattel Game On’ at GCI Group’s rooftop and played some games with friends. It was fun. I didn’t win the grand prize but it was nice to see the media peeps. I went last year too, see that post here. Recognize anyone?

After games night I scooted to Bloor Street for a foodie event. We were at Noka Japanese thanks to Ken Samuel and the food was DELICIOUS. This plated selection is called the Threesome. Creative one haha 😉

First time trying this beer from Kensington brewing Company. It was good but given I had a couple before I got there, I probably would have liked any beer!

Photo shoot yesterday was SUPER short.Being confident and not camera shy is something you just gotta get over. I’ve had lots of practice but this time I shocked myself!

It went like this:

Did you happen to chatch this outfit cruising downtown West yesterday?

I loved walking behind her in my vintage dress w/ cowboy boots. Complete opposite. I saw about 100 eyeballs pop right out of peoples heads. There’s some fun comments on Instagram.

Sending you positive vibes for an awesome day!

The World is Yours. You Can Have It.

Couple shots from the next episodes of my show THIS on Coral. This three part series is about Twitter, Creative Blogging, and my favourite photography apps for iPhone.

Part 1/3 will be out on Friday and I hope you enjoy it! Thanks Shannon for these photos! Check out all the Coral TV shows on the channel at youtube.com/coral.

I’m heading north of Bloor, gasp, to the head office of eBay Canada for a photoshoot. It’s for an upcoming profile for eBay Style Stories. Check out my friend Spiro’s feature here. It came out this week.

And, in other news…

Thank you Emma at Timeless Apparel on Queen Street for her awesome styling. I’m wearing a dress in a beauty green flower print like this.

Enjoy the day!

Take it all in. Every detail. Then let it GO.

I love the wilderness. Taking a break from the city makes me miss it more.

The other day I got a press email with the entire list CC’d.
I’m reading an excellent book, Steal Like An Artist. Inspiring.

Shooting with CoralTV and eBay this week.
Good busy is good work, I am never bored. I have one speed, GO.
I am addicted to documenting, afraid to forget.

I like this commercial. I knew it was Ting Tings before I checked the Googler. Saw them Ting Tings at Mod Club in 2008. I like this style of shooting! “liar liar jump in the fire!”

Take it all in. Every detail. Then let it GO.
