Jann 22 2009

Hey Everyone,

First time blogger here, I think it's really cool!! I want to comment on Januarry 22,09. The Academy Award nominations were out and Heath Ledger was nominated for supporting actor for his role in The dark Knight!!! I realized on the same day that marks 1 year of his passing! He most recently won for best supporting actor at the Golden Globes and I believe his daughter will be getting his award. I think it's important that she gets that award, one way for her to remember her father's talent! I found he was an amazing actor, glad to hear he was nominated, I really hope he wins, I am just sad he couldn't be here to acknowledge any of it!

Have a good one!

Spending the day at the hair salon, involves pain staking hours of washes and shampoos, dyes and blow dries. But, today my experience went by rather fast and I came out a happy client as usual. During the entire process, I had the chance to catch up on some reading, of course with the old magazines hair salons stash on their coffee tables. i came across a clin doeuil article, which showcased black chunk jewlery and accesories and showcasing black as being a bold colour statement - especialy on lips!

Yves Saint Laurent came out with a pure black high in shine gloss. It looks kinda of freaky and a little unusual, but i am not going to lie, i kinda like it. its bold, its strong, its unique. i might not ever wear it, but as for a fashion show, i can see it being quite useful. According to the article, in sun light, it gives more of a purple effect, stating its just as wearable during the day than at night!

Anyways, it came out in fall 2008, but as i came across the article i found it kind of neat, since the colour black, a universal color, has been put on the map in a new and unique way. Instead of classic dark red lips, how about pulling a different kind of sexy and add a little black to your lips. i dont suggest you kiss anyone tho!

My Inspiration...The Sartorialist

Hi everyone :)
This is my favourite website of all time. I always feel so inspired by the beautifully captured photos. Its amazing how everyday people from halfway around the world can inspire so many fashion trends. My latest obsession is how men everywhere have started placing their gloves in the chest pocket of their coats...I think its adorable.

Ps. Did I just blog about a blog?..

Enjoy!

Hello!!!

It’s Barbara P, writing to say I’ve now tried this new blog! I have never written on a blog before but I guess there is a first time for everything! I am currently sitting at my work desk wondering what I could write about. I have always kept a kind of diary (although, I don’t like calling it diary…)!! I write everyday for 15 minutes whether it’s before I head off to work or after I come back from late classes at LaSalle College. I usually don’t think about what I will write. I just write about how I feel, what happened during that day, about certain moments or just random things. It kind of helps me in a way because I have been doing this for more than 4 years, and as I flip through my old notebooks, I realize how much I changed and all the things that I’ve accomplished since then on. The reason I started doing this was that I had a teacher in an English class tell all her students to buy a notebook and write everyday for 15 minutes without stopping to think. She always told us: “Just write about anything and if you don’t know what to write about then write “I don’t know what to write about”. And ever since that class, I just kept on buying more notebooks and have already filled up 5 of them! I take my notebook with me on EVERYWHERE! My friends sometimes laugh at me and say: “Why do you still keep a diary”? I keep on telling them and explaining that it’s not a diary! LOL I considered it more like an artifact book…The thing is, it’s kind of therapeutical to say the truth… and the best part is that it’s about me and I know I can write in it what I want, and whenever I want. I don’t know how long I will keep on doing this, but the teacher I had, has been doing it for more then 30 years and says that she still does… She is actually an author for kids right now but I know that she still teaches because every time she writes for the Gazette, she always mentions her students. Alright! Well I must get back to my work, just an hour and a half to go… In the mean time, hope you've got something good to read and interesting things to write about!
