I want to be...


There is nothing about this that isn't perfect for me.

Victoria here I come!

I will be living in Victoria in approximately 16-17 days. If only I can get myself organized and out of Kitchener first!

HOLY EFFING SHIT.

More on that to follow. I need to collect my thoughts (which are numerous at the moment).

...from isavirtue and la flaneuse:

"I don't understand how a women can leave the house without fixing herself up a little- if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny."- Chanel

I've always loved this quote and agreed with it. Now I believe it.

Victoria vacation

This past weekend I was lucky enough to visit Victoria with Shawna. It was the best weekend I have had in a long time. I had an amazing time visiting Kaitlyn and Vero, and meeting some new friends. I learned a lot about myself, and it really reminded me of what a wonderful city Victoria is. I hope to go back (VERY) soon. More on that later. For now...I wish Westjet sold YKF -> YYJ fares for $1. That would be fairly jazzy.

Nine


Daniel Day-Lewis. Nicole Kidman. Marion Cotillard. Penelope Cruz. Kate Hudson. Sophia Loren. Judi Dench. And...Fergie?

Despite the latter, I absolutely cannot wait to see Rob Marshall's Nine. Nine is based on Federico Fellini's semi-autobiographical story of a famed film director, Guido Contini (Day-Lewis) meeting his mid-life crisis both personally and professionally, and the women who surround him.

Nine is comprised of one of the most winning and nominated casts captured on the silver screen in some time. Seventeen Oscar nominations alone and seven Oscar wins. Daniel Day-Lewis is one of my favourite actors. Playing roles so few and far between I am waiting with bated breath to see him in a musical. If Rob Marshall's Chicago (2002) is any indication of how fantastic Nine will be, I think we are in for a treat. Opens December 25th. Merry Christmas to me!

Nuit Blanche 100309

I experienced this awesome event for the first time last night. The highlight for me was the Vanity Fair Portraits exhibit at the ROM. This is something I would have wanted to see apart from Nuit Blanche. It really provided an excellent backdrop to illustrate the impact and cultural importance of this magazine. I have been reading it for several years and will continue to.





We also saw some large scale pieces:

Rabbit Balloon, 2007
Jeff Koons


Beautiful Light: 4 LETTER WORD MACHINE, 2009
D.A. Therrien

Paish defined...

Recently, I was showing a friend my blog for the first time. This friend does not know Paish. "What is paish?" my friend asked in kind of a snobbish, attitudinal, what-the-hell kind of tone. I explained why my blog is called iheartpaish. This got me wondering if 'paish' is actually a word with some sort of meaning. Straight to dictionary.com I went. No definition. Wikipedia, same thing. Urban Dictionary, however, was another story. I thought this was worth sharing. It gave me a chuckle.

Obviously not much credibility here, but I think I like it. It may be the new jazzy, but opposite. Don't get too down on yourself Paish, paish is certainly not a word I would use to define your jazzy self.

OMFG
