Jennifer Hudson Super Bowl





For those who don't know...


Making progress in the tragic murders of Jennifer Hudson's family members, William Balfour has been arrested on charges stemming from the October 24th shooting deaths of Jennifers mother, brother and young nephew.

According to breaking reports, Balfour, who is the estranged husband of Hudson's sister, Julia, has been incarcerated at an Illinois correctional facility for violation terms of his parole stemming from a 1999 conviction for attempted murder.

Now that ues been names as the defendant in the Hudson family murders, the 27-year-old has been tranferred to Chicago police custody after being served a warrant for his arrest. After being trabsported to the Wentworth Area, Balfour will now be held until offiial charges are pproved by the Cook County States Attorneys office.

As for Miss Hudson, Vogue editor Andre Leon Talley told US magazine, "She is doing very, very well. Shes very strong. i think that she has such strength. Theres so much strength within her that shes going to be okay. The message that she sent to me is that she appreciates all the messages of love that come from all the fans"

Seeing Jennifer Hudson at the Super Bowl just yesterday was emotional and touching. Hudson had the opportunity to sing the anthem for the Super Bowl as her return. I believe to come and perform the national anthem, at a time that the United States of America is stepping up and moving forward was just the perfect choice for Jennifer Hudson. Her performance was Fab! Welcome Back!

Saturday night, I went to a Fashion Show called Synesthasia, an Asia-inspired charity fashion show. It was an amazing event that mixed Asian fashion with the best of Montreal's nightlife.

The show was organized by students of McGill and Concordia University, and the money raised was going directly to Ashraya Initiative for Children (AIC) , a charity that aims to provide homes for street kids as well as education and health outreach programs in Pune, India.

I really enjoyed the opening of the show. It was organized in a way that opened our eyes to the contemporary world of fashion and design, and our ears to traditional Asian sounds. Following this introduction, the techno music started and our eyes were fixed to beautiful shinny Indian dresses from Toronto designer Dulhan.
The diverse ethnic backgrounds of the show’s male and female models exemplified the idea of synaesthesia. The event also looked to both the traditional and modern-day elements of Asian culture; for instance in one scene, aspects of classical Japanese culture were mixed with the futuristic, gothic trends of Tokyo’s Harajuku fashion district.
Martial arts and dance crews were also part of the event and they were very enjoyable as most people were not expecting this aspect of the show. Even though it was supposed to be a fashion show, having these performances made the event more theatrical, and they really showed the essence of Asian culture.

After the event, the catwalk became a dance floor, with music provided by Tokyo Nightclub regulars DJ DeLeon, DJ Jemz, DJ Yao, and an up-and-coming group, MTLiens. The after party was great and continued until the later hours of the night. Everyone made their way to the dance floor including the audience, models, and dancer overall concluding to a fun and memorable night.

Marche 27

If you're having a little hunger attack after a shopping session on St. Laurent, make a stop on the corner of Prince Arthur @ Clark (one block west of St. Laurent).
This cozy European style bistro, with high ceilings, marble tables is unique to this city. With its avant-garde cuisine, Marche 27's most distinguishing feature is the tartar bar. You can watch the chef prepare your choice of tartar in front of you. They offer salmon, smoked salmon, beef, duck and lamb, which are served in 5 different styles.
Besides tartar, there's a selection of salads, sandwiches, filet mignon...even jars of pickles, along with a selection of well priced wine!
So, when in need to try something new, relax, modern and mostly tasty in a nice atmosphere...remember...Marche27 ;)

It's TOO cold for that

Everyday I walk to and from work. I usually walk along maisoneuve to work then along st. catherine on my way home. One day i was on my way home and passed American eagle and in the window their mannequin was dressed in shorts and a tube top! This is early January. I was outraged for 2 reasons
1.) It was as if they were trying to remind me that in 3 weeks many students will be off to hot places for reading week and i won't be one of them

2.) I know in fashion it's important to be a head of the game but I can't imagine that putting out summer clothing in the start of january is really going to attract cutomers.
When i get my pay check i spend my money on sweaters and wool socks

I've started walking home on maisonneuve
