No Passing Go – No collecting $700 Billion either!

Shit is going down – Like the DOW – Read more here! Bushy’s bailout bill has not passed go in the House for approval. Now it seems those in Washington have to start from scratch and attempt to cut, copy , paste and revise the bill befiore anyone collects the money. Expecting a defeat, the Dow fell 700 points today.

Don’t Call Me!!

You called at dinner time my whole life, but now baby, you won’t be calling me anymore!!

As you may or may not be aware, Canadian Radio-Television Broadcasting is creating a National Do Not Call List for Telemarketers. Heck yes!! You won’t be able to avoid ALL calls, but most you will.

Who can still call you?

  • There are certain kinds of telemarketing calls and faxes that are exempt from the National DNCL, including those made by or on behalf of:

  • registered charities seeking donations
  • newspapers looking for subscriptions
  • political parties and their candidates, and
  • companies with whom you have an existing commercial relationship; for example, if you have done business with a company in the previous 18 months––such as a carpet-cleaning company––that company can call you.
Add your name & number to the list here starting tomorrow!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Relax…

Just add beach.

Vintage is the New Black

I rented the SATC movie for the weekend and I loved it. It’s a real feel good episode and conclusion to a much loved show. I decided to take a peep at www.bagborroworsteal.com. Carrie’s assistant, in the movie Louise from St.Luis swears by the site. You can rent vintage and brand new accessories for a week, a month, or as long as your little heart desires. You can also view items featured in the Sex and the City movie. I haven’t looked at the site for a while but they totally nave more stuff now that when I last looked at it. All products are 100% authentic and come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. The collection of vintage bags and jewelry are gorgeous. Looking at pricing, it looks like items start around $15/week and vintage stuff, my favorites, start around $150/week. There is also the option to ‘steal’ which means the item is available for purchase.

FYI: On the cover the French title translates to ‘Sex & NY’. he he he

1992 Fashion = Love & Passion

Last week I picked up this book from a second hand book store on Queen Street. As a child I often spent time sewing with mum at the kitchen table. She used to make all of our dance costumes for competitions and recitals. As for myself, I’d come up with some interesting fashion designs and sometimes dress up my little sister in my ‘unique’ styles. The book has a great introduction to designing & drawing and the best part, it is from 1992! Second hand book stores are so full of life and wonder, you can go on an adventure, travel in time or visit countries & royals. I’m looking forward to the winter to bust out the sewing machine and create some vintage classic, 1992 inspired pieces!
