Après y avoir installé ses tentes quinze années durant, la semaine de la mode new-yorkaise quitte Bryant Park et devrait investir le Damrosch Park situé au cœur du Lincoln Center dès septembre 2010.
Le Damrosh Park accueillera dès 2010 la Fashion Week de New YorkEn effet, lors d’une déclaration faite mardi 3 février, le maire de New York, Michael R. Bloomberg, a expliqué qu'IMG Fashion (qui finance la Fashion Week) avait signé un accord de cinq ans avec le Lincoln Center afin d’y organiser la Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Comme le relate le "Women’s Wear Daily", si certains prennent ce changement avec une dose d’optimisme tel Zac Posen qui affirme être « très excité à l’idée que sa collection soit présentée au même endroit que les plus beaux ballets du monde », d’autres restent très critiques. En effet, installer l’évènement au sein du Damrosch Park, lieu considéré par certains comme moins accessible, fait craindre que des créateurs choisissent de présenter leurs collections dans leurs showrooms. Un avantage tout de même à ce déménagement, qui mettra peut-être tout le monde d’accord : le Damrosch Park, avec ses 8 083 mètres carrés, propose une surface 25 % plus importante que le Bryant Park.

A Healthy Body Image
There is so much pressure in today’s society and body image is one major one.
Whether reading a magazine, watching television or surfing the internet somehow
The weight factor seems to crawl itself in. I was watching TV the other night and
They were speaking about celebrity stars embracing their curves and aiming for healthier body images. I was so glad to hear that especially since most of Hollywood stars are SUPER skinny that they will soon disappear! I really hope more people follow through to achieve a healthy image! So many adolescents look up these stars and imitate they style and look I know for a fact because my adolescent cousin was struggling with her weight a made a comment on Hollywood stars being too thin!! Well, I got on her case and well we all worked at getting her back on track! At one point last year every magazine I would look at/read there were pictures of celebrities looking so thin they looked sick!! The headlines read “Anorexic celebrities” or “Shockingly Thin” so they are trying to highlight the fact that they are too thin which is O.K. Now, I think it was Monday, Jessica Simpson was part of the main headlines but the best part is they were highlighting her weight gain and they are assuming is about 10-15lbs. Personally I think the clothes she was wearing made it appear worse than it actually was but who cares about that, she looks healthier and happier isn’t that what we are supposed to aim for? So at this point I am confused when they are TOO THIN it’s an issue and when they GAIN a little it’s an issue; so what weight is a good weight?
What I think they are trying to point out is that if you don’t have an anorexia problem go live in Hollywood because they will definitely give you one!

Call centers of Montreal/
I work in a call center, so I've decided to blog about call center. Call centers such as The Internet Yellow Pages, The Online Yellow Pages, Yellow Pages Online, and various other call centers that I have worked at and friends of mine have worked at too. I find it so funny how many call centers are making so much money on stupid clients. Yes, stupid clients, from all over Canada, and the USA of course. I've worked at 3 call centers in the spam of 3 years of living in Montreal, and they all had the words "Yellow Pages", using that to sound legit. They will charge roughly on average I gather 400 dollars, for 1 or maybe a 2 year listing online. These companies are making a killing of money since they have quite a large amount of people selling this shit Monday - Friday. I find it just crazy how many companies are being scammed yet all these call centers and then some are still in business! Well just been thinking crazy and if this Event Planning career doesn't work in my favor maybe I will grab a few buddies and open up a call center, calling it something like "Michael Yellow Page Direct" lol! Seems to me, their is a lot of money to be made selling crap to unexpected companies.

Working in a mall, is temptation at its best. Its a girls kingdom no doubt, but its a deadly sin for my poor little wallet. Unfortunetly, my job is located right in front of Lasenza, a women`s realm for the skimpy, the sexy and the padded. With Valentine`s approaching, of course the boustiers and the frimpiest undies make its way to the front of the store, leaving the single gals like myself woundering ``who the hell am i going to wear that for!``, so i havent even bothered to walk in. But to my despair, i couldnt escape it since a collegue forced me against my will, to help her find the redest and pinkest outfit for V-day. As i walked around, looking at the women frolicking over the satin and laced nighties, i woundered why i was even in this section.
i headed towards the back hoping for an exit or a fire alarm, but of course i was drawn to the tables of cute pyjamas and undergarments. A couple of minutes later, i was walking out with a bag full of stuff and felt very content with my purchases, comfy pjs, socks and some short shorts. As i walked past my colleague, who was still debating between black or pink for at least thirty minutes now, i couldnt help but realise that i had one less thing to even bother myself with. Valentines, no matter how lonely it can make some feel, it isnt about satisfying your significant other. this valentines, i decided to treat myself, because its ALL about satisfying yourself after all, right? ;) So when all else fails, you can sure count on mr.interac for a little a treat.

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.
