Nuit Blanche
What are my thoughts on Scotiabank's Nuit Blanche 09?
To be honest, it was slightly disappointing.
It was my first time going, and after a huge meal from Salad King my Ry fashion buds and I set off on our night time journey.
We were pretty excited at first, but had a bit of difficulty locating some exhibits.
We went to the funhouse exhibit first, which we thought had funhouse mirrors and the like, but were greeted with old people dressed in spandex in seizure-inducing patterns and colours. They were wailing and chanting and it was quite freaky. The people who came out to watch just stood around them looking rather dumbfounded.
This was the typical reaction to most of the exhibits, such as the Ice Queen.
I am one to appreciate art - I actually like trying to understand the message the artist is trying to convey through whatever mediums. However, most of the stuff at Nuit Blanche was a bit too much of the same, bewildering act most people cannot appreciate.
A few cool things were the Rabbit Balloon and the fashion showing at the Chang School, but I am partial to that since I helped set up the Jocelyn Teng exhibit : )
Her structural canvas pieces were really amazing, and working with her to set up the mannequines was a great opportunity, she was so nice :) They were also showing Lucian Matis and another designer's pieces. I just have to say, Lucian Matis is definitely an attractive looking guy! He's a Ryerson fashion alumni, and very talented too! I saw him again today when attending FGI's Fashion Next event : )
Anyways, here are some pictures from that night :)
Sorry for the rather late update, this event happened October 3rd.
GOODBYE FOR NOW,

Skins
It's been a while since my last post since university started and all. I also kinda forgot my google account username/password combo too haha.
So I came home for the thanksgiving weekend and saw my friends yesterday.
We made a korean meal and had pumpkin pie for dessert. We also tried to make shirley temples but they failed miserably :(
We started watching this british tv show called Skins.
It's about teenage drama,issues, partying, and other exciting stuff like that.
Also contains quite a lot of nudity .. oooh la laaa ; )
What caught my attention was the main guy.. wow he's so incredibly good looking!
His name on the show is Tony Stonem and his real name is Nicholas Hoult. His character is the confident, scheming bad boy type ;)
Photo for reference:
DAYUMMMMMM SEXYYY
The only thing about him that's a bit odd is his really defined eyebrows, but I think I'll look past that; his blue eyes and face structure well makes up for it <3.
I usually can't stand british accents but we actually watched 5 episodes in a row. .
Maybe I'll add this to my very limited list of dramas I actually watch, 90210 being the only other one.
GOODBYE FOR NOW,
and Happy Thanksgiving!
