GOING GOING......GONE

Wow I cannot believe it! we are going back to Toronto...just for a visit and to get the rest of our things from la big city,
I have been the worst blogger ever and have not posted anything in so so so long..that's because the summer has been so epic and has been filled with so many wonderful adventures and great things that I have not had time to blog.

I have been singing in our band with my sister ( not by blood by love) Laura and I love her so much. We are called the DUSTY ROSES and we sing old country think Loretta Lynn mixed with the moldy peaches, we totally write our own songs and I have not been as happy as I have been in so long.....ITS AWESOME! she plays guitar and sings, I am learning guitar and I sing and also play tambourine well sort of HA
on another note...
we are off to Toronto me and my Baby and Laire are gone now for two weeks on Wednesday and are gone for two weeks...so exciting! Vadim and I are driving back across the country and I will be snapping fotos and blogging the whole entire time!
I am so excited! I will be doing a full blog when we return!

Fashion in Nelson

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

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

R A I N

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
