best tee around

the cliche white tee [no names necessary] has had its overrated glory for quite sometime now. its simple crew and plunging v-neck worn with such ease... but most definitely worn out by many. [ to covet with compassion ] space fb created their unisex white tee (purchased for maybe $9 or less at one of their sales along St-Laurent... not the actual store). i purchased this tee a few years ago... stretched, washed and worn it out, but it still holds so much character and its seams so well (despite the reviews of their awful quality, i've had no problems!)

the unisex garment (if created right and with care) is something i am quite fond of - allowing both genders to share in such a creation means it was made with that extra love that some of us just want to feel ...but can never really feel.

i only wish that the most simple item held in peoples closets was paid more attention to, more often. viscose, cotton blend designer tees are nice sometimes - but at 100 bucks a pop - I'd most likely be living in the cold by now with only two things in hand ...a peppermint vanilla latte and my blackberry. god, what does this say about myself.

now i ponder, will i ever find another one of these precious tees?

12 YEARS OF RAVE

best of both worlds
Claude Von Stroke - Who's Afraid of Detroit (Stanton Warriors Remix)


The Guvernment complex in Toronto celebrated its 12th anniversary of catering to top notch worldwide DJ's and all-night party goers with a Thanksgiving Long weekend bash. I must say it was quite a hoot and a half. It kind of freaks me out I've been having fun there for the past seven years. Well whatever, big that up.

Love to ya boy MUTT for hooking it up - shouts to Dieselboy for playing the MASSIVE Messiah remix - and love to Jen & Toby, just cause they're that great.

I'm a fan of Stanton Warriors. I'm also a jackass for forgetting they were playing the next room over from where I was!!

how ludacris!

So, Ryerson lets me park my car (whenever I bring it) in the Pitman Hall parking lot for $9 a day ($4 extra if I stay until midnight). Now they offer bike parking for all those cyclists in the NEW Bicycle Room. It is available for the remainder of the academic year (until April 30, 2009) for a fee of $90.40, including taxes or for a 12-month period for a fee of $135.60, including taxes.

THIS IS MONSTROUS!! Look, normally I dispise some cyclists and hate their nasty ways on the road but I'd have to say this is downright wrong. Cyclists cycle in order to 1) save money 2)ignore car costs 3)DO IT BECAUSE ITS FREE. How embarassing Ryerson...

you know when you want to be somebody at some moment in time?

well i want to be her...

LOOK AT THOSE LEATHER LEGGINGS (I've yet to purchase a pair of any sort of legging - I figure I'll start with a pair similar to these.)

Robin Thicke

Ever since the release of Wanna Love You Girl with Pharrell, I've had such a fangirl crush (one of my many) on Mr. Robin Thicke. Yes, the son of famous Canadian Allan Thicke of Growing Pains!

Turns out REMG will be bringing him down on the 6th of October at the Kool Haus in Toronto. Perfect timing as it will be my post-birthday celebration. Come whoever pleases *blushes*

For the (love of the) Young & Rebellious

Fall has finally crept upon us, but of course with fashion always been at least a season and a half ahead the Spring 2009 RTW Topshop Unique line has been released - and it definitely ain't for the (old and) faint of heart. If you know me (personally), you know I'm not too fond of Topshop, but this collection has given me a slight change of heart and I'm proud to admit it.

"There was nothing profound about the love-heart prints, jumpsuits, parachute-silk batwing tops, and reruns of teddy boy and new wave tailoring, and it was a relief. Trying too hard isn't a good look for either Topshop's customers or a high-street brand, however on-it the brand might be. Result: For the first time since it debuted in 2005, this collection stopped pretending to be what it isn't, and came over as genuinely young."

So youthful, so pretty, so LONDON!!!

so today i read...

"...university can be some of the best years of your life so make sure you go after everything that interests you, because you really only get the chance once and it really is a shame to waste it." -A.P.


You know what's funny? How you hear this a billion times over and when a person you barely know says it, it actually sticks and means something even more.

LET'S GET BACK TO THE JUNGLE MMMK?

THIS AIN'T NO JOHN B ELECTRO DNB B.S.!

Trouble happens every time the Brooklyn-based crew of Drop The Lime, Math Head, Star Eyes and The Captain get together to throw one of their legendary, quasi-illegal parties.

Bass is everything, whether the backbone of releases on their T&B label or the driving force of their ballistic, sweat-inducing DJ sets – all timeless rhythms, unforgettable melodies, and surprise after speaker-quaking surprise.

If you’ve been missing the raw energy that made electronic music so exciting in the first place, this is where it’s been hiding.

This is a Curb Crawlers & Dmoney Promoted Party:

Holidays in the Sun

I have realized that I am long overdue for your typical sunny beach vacation, but I say F that because there is much time (and many more years before I become old and lazy) to just lay on a beach, soaking in the sun's cancerous UV rays.

I do incredibly appreciate mother nature for being so kind to me thus far. The last week has consisted of beer, hours of boating in Invermere, Aurora's Sunday night banger, only one 'late' night, a hike up Sulphur mountain, ice cream and good pizza, Lake Louise, Mt. Norquay and mountain goats. I will get to do my last bit of sightseeing today here in Banff via horseback and complete the rest of the day with a little bit of brunch and spa action.

Flight to Vancouver at 13:00 tomorrow then off to Shambhala. Hope to see YOU there!

The Wild, Wild West ...of Canada - Day 2

My first day was spent in Calgary. Did a little shopping and enjoyed some Chinese food but was deathly jet lagged due to a very screwed up sleep schedule, therefore let us just proceed to day two:

The air is crisp in the morning here in Banff and even more so when the sun finally sets (that being at 23:00MST). My fingers are fine now, but the veins in my hands are just gaining back the flow of blood. I have just completed my first nature walk along the Bow Trail. The photos I have taken do not do any justice nor can words even explain the wondrous beauty that is The Canadian Rockies. I take no regret in staying fairly sober my first night on the town this evening prior, as I would not have been able to enjoy this day as much as I already have.
Here, all seem friendly. The nights in 'town' are full of intoxicated young hooligans roaming the streets, this including: the locals, the French, and all those who work in town and are from everywhere BUT.
So much more to see and explore, still so many friends to make, but most importantly still so many memories to create.

Interesting things about the Banff National Park (in which the Fairmont residences are located, and where I am situated) can be read here and information about the Canadian Rockies can be found here.
