Take me to the Carnivale

2010-06-09T17:32:00.000-07:00

wow. I dont know if any of you are obssessed with carnivals from the 30s like I am?? but if you are then please do yourself a favor and watch the HBO series Carnivale!! such a good show..they only made two seasons but was really great. The clothing the hair, good and evilness it had to it right up my alley.

I have always been in love with Carnivale's from the 30s even since I was really little. I remember being in antique shops and they had all the old chalkware that you used to win from the games back then. I was always super fascinated with and I always will be.

Everything was super creepy from that time era why is that? I love creepy especially dolls and chalkware and old creppy posters...I do not like clowns though at all whatsoever... SANS CLOWNS they are really not cool at all. Which is weird as I had a collection of cina dolls from the 80s that had tears and amazing makeup and really fab outfits...when I was 5 years old ( ps I only have one now *tear*) I kept them on a shelf above me..but they were more like jesters not clowns...clowns are just creepy period..especially the sad ones EW.

its totally rainy here right now as I look out my window...I am bored and trying to figure out how to pimp my blog!! if anyone out there who reads this knows how or anyone SOS. please help little ol MOI xoxoxo

and cards were so special back then people loved giving them.
I actually keep cards that people give me...not all of them but the real special ones I sure do, they are all in a shoe box downstairs and from time to time I take them out and just laugh! I got this really great one latley from my second mom Marie its so cute and it sings rockin Robin how puuuurfect

Grilled Fromage

2010-01-25T14:21:00.001-08:00

So the next adventure that we went on we decided to go to Squamish to hit up some thrift stores, which was pretty exciting and I will take pics of what I found there super sweet finds!! anywho so Bernie was hungry and we spotted this really awesome spot Called Grilled Fromage..one word AMAZING this shop is awesome!!!

you walk in and its really cute and retro, cute decore, old school records on the walls, a fantastic clock , humerous bulletin board thats all fake ads which had me laughing the whole time and there were random old paintings that had david Hasselhoff pasted into the painting like he was supposed to be there, twas a brilliant idea!! ( might have to make one of my own)

and to top it all off it had this mirror that said "Mirror of great shoes" and clearly the mirror does not lie if I dont say so myself they are great boots!!

basically all in all it was super fab,great little place for sure and the staff were dressed well and really sweet so if you are ever in Squamish go and eat at Grilled fromage its delish!

oh yes and I left them some art work as well on this napkin hee hee.....

And then she was on a bus...

2010-01-21T16:08:00.000-08:00

I just took a trip recently to see my bestest friends ever Krista and Bernie, I had such a fab time but man it just makes me relise how much I miss having them live so close to me :( I was a lucky gal when I lived in whistler thats for sure but thats ok they will be here soon!!
so my lovley trip started at 6 pm on a friday ,Since I am still 29 and do not have my licence ( lame I know I have my L though working on it workin on it!! )
I took the greyhound bus for 16 hrs there, and it was totally an adventure and the perfect oppurtunity to blog along the way...

My first stop was to rock creek bc, we stopped at a gas station and man o man how I love small town gas stations, full of canadiana and lots of wolf items which I adore

The first thing I noticed when I got here was this weird ass sign...is was for a hotel and it said greek saturday? there is no resturant so what does this mean? maybe the gas stations serves greek food? hum..looked odd but I like it...

And the wolf sweaters....LOOK AT THEM sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo amazing!! My freind Jena loves wolves as much as I do and I was going to get these for us but the debit and visa machine was down SHITE!!! le sigh I really really wanted them bad....*tear*

Then there was this awesome kitschy deer candy dish I mean every home should have one dont you think!!

oh yes and this is Mischa she is my elephant from the 50s she is my travel companion she smells like cologne I made Vadim spray her with his scent..she actually really smells super strong which Is good cause noone will sit with me!! I mean I love a good random convo but I would like to catch a few z's so this is the first stop more tomro once the pics are ready!

xoxo Me

I said why yes my lady I do" she told me to go to walmart? ( its a small town I live in I have looked all around walmart so I thought?)

dreaming of the fifties

2009-11-21T16:49:00.000-08:00

I have been obsessivly watching mad men which is right up my alley. The clothing is to die for and not to mention my new crush on January Jones!! what a minx!!!!

on another note...

I have been shopping on line like crazy to buy myself some fab vintage lingerie. Its so hard to find amazing pieces, I have a few key pieces but a girl can never have enough bras, panties and hot to trot garders and corsets!

I am going on a buying trip MOnday so I will be on the lookout for even more things this time around!

There is really nothing hotter than having lingerie under your clothing, its super hot and you feel so sexy!! and even if its not for a special someoone do it for yourself girls MEOW!! you will feel liberated.

I do always wear my posh nighties to bed. I have so many fab finds and they are tress ooo la la all I need now is my malibu pumps which I am still on the hunt for!!

Fashion in Nelson

2009-07-07T13:00:00.000-07:00

this weekend was crazy jam packed with things holy...so much went on and it was rather awesome!
this Past Friday I was in a fashion show at the Factory and I modeled for the lovley Lauren Christoffersen it was so much fun and she is super talented and amazing!! Her style is impeccable and really impressive this little lady will go far I know it, She will be starting her own line called LOu LOu so stayed tuned I will totally be blogging about her she's outstanding.

I modeled a sweet little 80's romper and it was so cute and fun!! we strutted to Janet Jackson "NASTY" down the run way and the clothing was inspired by Saved by the Bell leading Lady Kelly Kopowski!!

At the end we walked out together to Michael ( :( Micheal love you) and did a super awesome (rehearsed for like 10 mins) high five it was sensational and let me tell you our hands hurt mega after ha ha but it was totally worth it

so it was a really awesome time, so much fun and I am excited and cannot wait for more amazing fashion shows. I am really excited to do one and I think the plan is September with a few other leading ladies of Nelson so it will be a hot hot show.

We had an art show at the salon and it was so good, the art is outstanding he is so talented his name is Dylan Humphreys and the boy can paint!! his style is kind of Graf but sketches and a real awesome mix match of style, way ahead of nelson for sure,I am totally thrilled that we had him show here so amazing. Apres the art show
my two Favorite boys and the one love of my life Vadim and Brandon played a set at the spirit bar, they played under our band name "BAWDY HOUSE" and they totally killed the dance floor, man it was so good I wish that it did not end but thats just more inspiration to get this going and having the boys play more gigs and getting them booked all over. I cannot wait you have no idea so exciting. The band will be really awesome I can feel it, Ceilidh will be singing with us too she is also huge in my life as a friend and I am glad we will all be doing this together so fun.
I am also going to be taking a few singing lessons so I can rock the mic with a few songs, I am so excited its going to be really fabulous, big things are happening and I am so happy!!
and I get to choreograph dances I have been doing this since I was five so here we go LOL
And yesterday we went to kelowna to pick up the lovely Laura who is like my little sister she moved here to go to school so thats also awesome.

AND>>> huge vintage buy!! the new pieces are amazing and I cannot wait till they are up so I can blog about them..so on that note I am off, work stuff to do la la la the usual.....

Michael how I love thee

2009-06-27T15:03:00.000-07:00

well I cannot believe it...I guess that I am still in shock , Michael is gone??? wow its so so so sad it truly is.
He has had such a huge influence in my life big time, I remember being little and watching his videos over and over and over again, especially billie jean that was my favorite when I was small. watching it over and over again, HE IS MY INSPIRATION FOR DANCE!!
I had the dance down pat and I swore that I was going to meet him and we would be able to dance it together. Not to mention renting moonwalker and watching it like 100 times and Thriller at halloween too amazing, a huge part in my childhood, My parents always worked nights and the tv was huge in our family so whenever I was alone Michael and I were there dancing d'awwww I am so sad :( the night he died I was so shaken I decided the best way to help me feel better was to dance, I cried and decided a dance party would be best suiting,
I got out my fisher price tape deck put in Micheal and danced and danced and danced in my livingroom It was magical. I will always also remember being a raver kid and dancing with my bestests K&B and having that feeling that we all get when we hear a track we love, especially on a dance floor with people who get what dancing is all about, its a soul thang...a body thang..its a spiritual thang...michael always brought that out to all of us it was special.
Poor MJ I could not imagine what he went through growing up, I mean think of ourselves and the way that we grew up now imagine if it was all filmed and you never ever left the public eye, I dont think I could have handled that, now imagine Micheal at the age of 11 it started and he was a sexy symbol at 13? how does that happen so I guess this goes with out saying that Hollywood has claimed yet another victim and its sad...
But he did alot of good in his life and he was an inspiration to so many and will never be forgotten. We all have our connection to Michael in our own way, I know I do..
I don't think I will ever forget him you cannot he is too influential, Micheal I will miss you so so much and I will always remember you and when a song of yours is played I will dance extra extra hard just for you
love love love xxxxoooo

2009-06-09T11:52:00.000-07:00

what a day quite the rainy day...I love rain but it makes me think of sad things...Why is that?
I dunno I guess maybe sometimes when it rains you can reflect on things or just to be sad, but the rain also makes me feel happy especially when it drops on leaves and splashes in the windows, and the sound of rain and the smell its nice...

speaking of sad things..I miss my BEST FRIEND her name is Krista and she is my sister and my sensible half!! I have know her forever and we have been through so much together :)
I miss being close to her and talking ( we chatted for a long time last night and it made me so so so happy) I just miss her everyday and cannot wait till she is closer to me, she is the most beautiful soul I know and you just cannot even imagine how wonderful she is until you meet her...she is kind, so beautiful,strong, and a gem and I love my Krista Bear so so so much xxxoooo
and Bernie who is also my bestest( kristas hubby) he is the coolest cat I know you can always count on Bernie for amazing advice and of course a laugh and if you want to go to a weird party bdawg is your man!! he is my brother and I am so glad he is in my life, I could not imagine my life without Bernie and Krista ha ha I love them both so much, and when thier house sells in whistler they will be closer yay yay!! they are working on a beautiful house and redid the whole thing, Its amazing and just breathtaking... Oh ya hee hee....they are both tile setters and renovators( is that the right word??) and can make anything beautiful!!! they are the most talented people I know and I love them.
I have attached a pic of me and Krista but I dont have a good one of all of us so thats our misson to take more pics of us cool cats
