Ascot Sample Sale

My dear friend, the lovely Alessandra is showcasing her first line of ascots (male scarves) at 138 Cumberland St . This calls for a perfect night in Yorkville. Before you have dinner some may prefer get a little shopping done, so why not pop into the shop and purchase an adoring ascot! What more can you ask for? This is perfect for the fashion curious male who wants to add something to their ensemble and one who has the confidence to pull of this formal look. The ascot definitely has the power to make some men look effortlessly chic, sophisticated and well put together.

Well articulated answer...

So I actually LOVE the view. (Don't Judge) Whenever I get a chance to watch it, I find it incredibly entertaining. The comfortable setting that allows these women to speak their minds and express opinions is necessary when encouraging friendly debate. What makes this such a great show is that the women on the view have different experiences, which inevitably makes an impact on their opinions. Most of the things they talk about may be considered frivolous but when they do talk about real issues such as gay marriage it is worthy to tune in. ACTUALLY, I'm lying it's ALWAYS WORTHY TO TUNE IN.
Most of the time,I feel as if WHOOPI speaks the truth. Whereas Elizabeth...most of the time I just want her to shut her mouth. But as hypocritical as I may be, I actually appreciate her comments. It's healthy to have disagreements. We can't all agree on the same things or else our society wouldn't progress.

my new favorite song

I think I'll be playing this on repeat for the rest of the month....

It's almost Christmas.....

I can't believe it. It's already December.

School is driving me absolutely nuts. Two and a half more weeks and I get a long deserved vacation...





I recently just picked up a copy of Toronto Life's December issue and read a cadid article about Lawrence Hill, a Black Canadian author, who wrote "the Book of Negroes". I highly suggest reading the article and picking up his book. I received this book as one of my many stocking stuffers from last Christmas, so hopefully once I'm finished this term from hell, and after I steal it back from my roommate I'll get a chance to read it.




Ta ta for now.

O.U.C.H 2009

If you've heard of O.U.C.H, you'll know how ridiculously exciting this dance competition is becoming!!
O.U.C.H stands for Ontario University Competition for Hip Hop, which showcases university hip hop teams from all over Ontario. I'm a little bias, but McMaster's University's team is so incredibly talented and entertaining! They hold try outs every year, so they hand pick the best of the best!
Since we won last year, and the year before, and...I've lost count... we have the privilege of once again hosting this event! This hip-hop competition started off really small and I think it's starting to gain some momentum. It just keeps getting better year after year! I'm so pumped for it! :) It's like Americas Best Dance Crew....well...not exactly...but close enough !

Date: November 21, 2009
Where: McMaster University-Hamilton
Time: 7:00

Definitely Come to Steel City, you won't be disappointed! This is probably one of my favorite events of the school year!

SOUND OF MUSIC!

Two weeks ago a couple friends and I went to see the Sound of Music at the Princess of Wales Theatre in T.O!
Its such a refreshing musical to see with your friends, family, and kids. . Now, if you've watched the Sound of Music, you'll know its quite easy to pick up the lyrics to the songs and sing along. Just like I did all night..and I never sing. The music, the set, the singers and the actors were amazing! A tremendous amount of effort was put in the set, which was incredible. I'm not exaggerating, this set was unbelievable. The children in the musical were absolutely adorable. I was either smiling or laughing the whole time.

If you're a student, YOU NEED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS GREAT DEAL! You can buy tickets 2 hours before the show for a mere $25. Honestly, the price of the tickets at regular place, where we sat, were probably at least $80 to $100. Even if your not a student, I know times are tough but everyone needs some culture in their lives! Take in a show, an art exhibition, a play or musical because great conversations revolve from what you are able to see and experience! So perhaps, start saving your money instead of going out for dinner or buying that drink you don' t need and splurge one night on dinner and a show! Christmas is coming and tickets to the Nutcracker is a must!

...so long farewell
