How about NOW bitches, will this help you think more beautifully…if I plastic my face and show of my lovely tata’s and great ass. Is that what it takes to be beautiful? A little A & T? I’ve seen the profiles that they think are beauties, scantily clad seems like the way in. I’m not like that.

I’ve not tried my own face at acceptance, but I’m considering it heavily.

Just for sport of course!!

Art ‘H’ Box Project presents…

South African born, Canadian citizen, Toronto based Fine Artist Frankie Rich has much of her work housed in both public and private collections across the globe. Included in the collection of the South African Embassy, Ottawa, her work, paintings and sculptures, have been exhibited to great acclaim in South Africa, Canada and the United States. Frankie’s paintings are imbued with a deep sense of spirituality, and her approach is a joyous one, perhaps best explained in her own words: “Art can be understood, it cannot be explained.”

Frankie has been invited to participate in the prestigious Arts ‘H’ BOX project, an innovative, roaming screening ‘hall’ which presents major new video commissions by eight rotating international artists. The itinerant nature of the H BOX allows it to travel the world between renowned museums and highlights the exciting fluidity of video, a medium now reshaping the twenty-first century. Each year four new international artists will join the rotating programme while four others give up their places.

You can see Frankie’s artwork on Sunday afternoon from 2-5pm at
88 Mutual Street, Toronto, Apartment 1008, Entry code 1092.

H BOX is an innovative, roaming screening hall, presenting major new video commissions by eight international artists. Designed by architect Didier Fiuza Faustino, the unique structure hosts a rotating, diverse programme of videos by Alice Anderson, Yael Bartana, Sebastián Díaz-Morales, Dora García, Judit Kúrtag, Valérie Mréjen, Shahryar Nashat, and Su-Mei Tse.

H BOX is produced by Hermès. Benjamin Weil, executive director of Artists Space, New York, is the artistic director of the project. H BOX was first unveiled at the Pompidou Centre in Paris in November 2007 and has traveled to MUSAC, Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Castilla y Leon, Spain, and MUDAM, Luxembourg. Following its presentation at Tate Modern H BOX will travel to the Yokohama Triennale in Yokohama, Japan.rankie Rich!!

Be happy, despite not being happy, get that?

Happiness is a state of mind. Not a bank account number or fancy clothes, arm candy, sex, drugs, and all that shit. Being happy is a way of feeling a way of acting and an outlook on life. I live a very happy life despite what happens around me. I make a conscious effort to not let other peoples worries & troubles infiltrate my own feelings and inner thoughts. My message from Yehuda this week is all about Building on a Moment. I share this message and the 72 Name of the Week, my favorite one:

49. Happiness – Vav Hei Vav
(Scan the letters from Left to Right to connect to the energy)
Meditation: I find the strength to restrain selfish longings. Through this Name I ask for what my soul needs, not what my ego wants. I find deep appreciation for whatever life brings me. This brings me happiness in the deepest sense.

“The only thing we can do when faced with chaos and pain is accept things as they are and be happy in that moment. The genius of this logic is one moment is carried into the next. When we put all our effort into seeing the good, to pushing back the darkest doubts and to injecting light and happiness, we go into the next moment carrying that energy.

Switching up the energy, that’s what we’re doing. Difficult? Yes. Paradoxical? For sure. Doable? Without a doubt.

Lots of people are in the dumper lately, that’s no news flash. And I think this idea of building on the moment is especially relevant. It doesn’t mean we have to resign ourselves to a bad situation or relationship. I think we have a habit of thinking “I can’t be happy now because I have this problem and if I accept it I will never get rid of it.”

The energy that goes into being happy, internally ignites change on the external level. That’s the beauty of life: everything can change just like that. Even when things aren’t as you want them, if you can train yourself to be happy in the moment, then you will see dramatic shifts forward.

On top of that, why be miserable and unhappy? Look back at your life. If you had certain parts to do over, would you do them over with apathy, boredom and fear? Or would you rip into those situations with confidence and verve?

This week, call yourself out on your negative thought loops. Break it in your mind. Pay attention to how often your feeling of desperation and doubt are in control. Practice being excited and happy – even when you’re not.

To keep it simple, here’s a 3 step reminder for the week:

  1. Accept the difficult situation for what it is
  2. Be happy, despite not being happy (get that?)
  3. Switch the moment, leading to a new continuum of happiness

All the best,

Yehuda”


it looks cold outside

the life the luxury.
the sun, the sand, the skin.
the ocean, the waves.
the boards, the boys.

barry manalow rocks the eighties

Tonight, I watched Will & Grace and it was the episode when Will is in line for tickets the one night show of Barry’s Christmas Special. Grace gets mad when she sees that her mum ditched Hanukkah shopping to hang out with Jack. Karen finds comfort with the Fanilows in line for tickets. ET Canada was happy to have Mr. Manilow on their program this evening also. He is releasing a new album “The Greatest Songs of the Eighties,” due November 25 on Arista. It’s just amazing how youthful and soft his face looks. I browsed through some photos of Barry and maybe I found one way to stay looking young and have a pretty voice, a dried flowered bud of the Cannabis Sativa plant. It has visible THC crystals, which indicate high potency.

Elvis singing Blue Christmas. I love it.
Soon as I hear “I’ll have blue, Christmas, without you”,
my heart melts for The King.
He does this little smirk.
It’s fantastic. Just watch him.

LIFE BEAUTIFUL SELF DOUBT

Beautiful People.

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. Of course, cosmetic surgery can help you achieve this. Lotus Medical offer their clients the chance to ‘regain your youthful appearance’ through their cosmetic procedures that include tummy tuck, fillers and liposculpture among many more. To be honest with you I am actually all in favor of changing your appearance if it makes you happy. A good friend of mine has had a few procedures done by the best plastic surgeon chicago has to offer and this has made a huge difference to her confidence. Ultimately, if you are considering plastic surgery it is vital that you do your research so that you can find a reputable surgeon.

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 a 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 not doing so well. 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 who I find quite interesting because I see them doing something 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.

Oh winter, why dry?

This time of year is always the worst for dry skin.

A few weeks back I received a Burt’s Bees survival filled with Burt’s bees products for me to test out. I have been using the Milk & Honey Body lotion the most. I keep it in my purse or at the office. It really leaves your skin feeling hydrated, absorbs quickly, and is not greasy.

The lotion is specially formulated for normal to dry skin and includes “Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, formulated to leave rough, flaky skin soft and smooth, naturally. ”

I recommend you give it a try this winter. Take care of your skin & take care of yourself!!
