who do you call for crazy costumes??

me! i was hired by my friend's dance team to create some outfits for their performance with a very popular uk singer. it was very exciting stuff! my friend is a choreographer and she and her extremely talented dance team were going to be backup dancers wearing my outfits :D

however...when we all arrived that nite all hyped for the nite. we found out that the singer had brought in his own dancers and would no longer be needing their services. boo! but even though none of our talents got its time in the sun, it was still an awesome and fun experience (not to mention very sleepless) and i would do it all over again if i could. anyways...here are some of the pictures from that nite. since none of the girls got to dance, i did a mini photoshoot with them at the club that they were going to perform at.

more costumes!

so it was my best friend's birthday a few weeks ago and we decided to throw her a BRITNEY SPEARS birthday party! the rules: come dressed up in your favorite britney video outfit or time period ( ie crazy bald britney, party britney, baby mama britney...). and here are some of the results. some outfits were made by me and some were very put together by very creative friends :)

::: dress was recycled from my halloween costume and hat was made with fabric and a plastic takeout container :::

::: my 'me against the music' britney :::

:: baby mama britney with her baby daddy ::
::: i made a steering wheel out of an old film reel and tied a baby doll to it...haha get it?? :::

me? write? about shopping?

wow it's been BUSY! so after i designed the new logo for salesguide.ca (it's still not up yet), they asked me if i would be interested in becoming a contributing writer for their site. me? write about shopping!? hells yeah! of course, i'm not really a writer, but what i can do is shop. So every week or so i will be submitting articles about random places that i shop, eat, or travel to. i think i love this new role. i get to shop and then i get to talk about it (and have a valid reason to buy stuff -RESEARCH!). that being said, i just posted my FIRST ARTICLE woot! this is pretty exciting stuff.

for those who are not familiar with this site, its a brand new website that tracks sales all across canada. so when there is a sale in your area, it will be listed under your city. the site also tracks websites with current sales information and allows members to post their own sales sightings as well.

after being explained all this at great lengths *whew* i thought this would be a fun venture to get into. so check weekly on salesguide.ca for my articles!

new logo for salesguide.ca

so a month ago, i was hired by the owners of www.salesguide.ca to redesign the logo for their website. it's a shopping website that tracks sales across canada. its not up and running just yet but it will be soon. shopping? hells yeah! so i thought, cool why not! they wanted to make it look like one of those shiny web buttons (web buttons?), but to tell you the truth, i had no idea what they was talking about. did i mention i'm the biggest computer dummy? well there you have it. i am. so i did some research into it and saw what they were looking for and made the most killer looking web button thingy-ma-giger that they had ever seen. i was so happy that they liked it so much. i haven't used photoshop in a long time so it was nice to be able to sharpen those skills again, like riding a bike right? whew. so here it is, the final product!

toys! toys! toys!

who doesn't love toys? the older i get the more i appreciate them. its makes us happy just to be around them and when one of mine brings a smile to someone's face, well there's just no better feeling. and it makes me even happier when one of them can make a grown man squeal with joy like a little girl! these are a sample of the munnys that i have done. all were inspired by the people that they are named after. there are more to come, but i'm unemployed at the moment and therefore lacking the funds to create more of these lovable little doods. i totally tweaked on a few of them and actually made trading cards too woot!
