A time for reflection . .

The infamous New Year 'Resolution' List


Time is the most beautiful thing - as it makes us stronger, wiser, and better prepared for the more challenging, yet rewarding - things to come in life.

Many of us seem to gravitate our resolution's towards aesthetic goals, short term goals, or even materialistic goals. Yet it should be more of a reflection than a goal - and a continuing development of a skill, than a mastered one.



That being said, here are some of my New Year - Reflections:


1.
Learn to be a better judge of character
Realize people's intentions are the most important underlining factor in their character

2.
Realize Family is forever
Don't allow your schedule or lifestyle make you become too self absorbed to remember that

3.
Learn to let them go
Some people grow with you, and other's grow against you. Don't try and hold onto something or someone who brings pain, or a circle of negativity - exhale them, and hope that one day your roots will meet again

This song speaks

On too many levels

One of my favorites of Kanye's, and note it's called Apologize - not Improvise.

"I guess there’s more good women than men percentage wise
So her chance of having a husband just minimize
I guess that’s why she says she ain’t into guys
And focus on school full-time to improvise

We ball 'til we fall
Hit the mall
After we
Hit don't call
We fill your lives
With nothing but lies
And I would like to
Apologize

No no, you can't stand right here
And tell me everything is gonna be alright
'Cause until that real man stands up
I'm going to have to improvise"

G.A.P

RE: Girl's Against Porn

I came across this organization when looking for porn . . JOKING, but I am pro porn!

Once you get past the hilarious image of their bible version of The Charlies Angel's, the content on the side nav bar reads, "The Male Perspective, The Professional Perspective, Notes for Women, What Happens to Men, Options Before Divorce, ext . . "

They even went as far as having an "Honor & Decency Act" for the US Military bases in hopes to have enough signatures on a petition to ban porn from the Military. . . Seriously? Aren't these guys sacrificing enough for your Country?

I also saw this random quote posted, with really no relation to what they were discussing

Ben franklin said, “Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that’s the stuff life is made of.”

Umm, okayy?

This organization's number one reason for it being anti-porn, seems to be due to it "causing divorces"(porn obsessed husbands is what they claim), and on a serious note - child pornography.

Hands down, child pornography is wrong - and anyone viewing that shit is twisted, we meet eye to eye there, yet their main thing is husband's that they claim to be "porn addicts". . I feel like I've seen some Oprah, or Dr.Phil commercials for this exact topic, and I'm not sure what they had to say - but I say, LADIES STEP UP.

Porn, with adult porn stars, who choose to be filmed while having sex - can teach us a lot. This is their occupation, and just like a Chef can teach us a thing or two about filleting a fish - a porn star could teach us a thing or two that we can use behind closed doors.

Don't hate - participate
Make it a movie night, meets Simon Says

ahaha

New Beyonce

Halo | Diva


Halo



I'm really glad Beyonce and her team chose this song to be the 3rd single. The way Beyonce uses her voice, is very different than what we are use to hearing from her - it's very controlled, and haunting.

This was one of my favorites, along with 'Smash Into You', 'Hello', 'Ego', and 'Scared of Lonely'


Diva


Not much to say about this video - hot, hot, hot & a sharp contrast to Halo, which plays on the Two Disc - alter Ego theme.

Alright - Megan clearly took this (due her sultry essence) from the sweet and innocent Jessica, yet credit needs to be given where it's due as Ms.Alba was the first to shoot with Terry for GQ Mag, back in June 2007 (which ironically enough, Megan appeared in as well)

The blog has been very neglected during the holiday season. Yet for a good cause - I've been going back and forth between families, and subsequently I have 4 of them (My immediate Fam, Mom's Fam, Dad's Fam, Step Dad's Fam)

Today is boxing day - and I literally am boxing shit, preparing for the infamous move that I'm sure you all
are sick of hearing about - lol

I am only moving 118 km (The "feel good town" of Cobourg - to the city of Toronto), yet it's being played like a world away!

School also starts soon - and I'm excited to get my education on

Thus, I will blog-slack no more
As I always have shit to say

Pour Femme | Pour Homme

My fragrance choices

With Christmas around the corner, I've spent my fair share of time within department stores lately, either shopping myself - or taken along for my input

It was my goal to smell at least every fragrance my nose came along this season, and that was everything from your Walmart - Shonny Hilfiger's, to the lucrative notes in Clive Christian's X.

Yet my two winner's may shock you, as they are very reasonably priced - one created by a tripple threat diva, and the other an iconic supermodel.

Heavy: The Story of Metal

Definitely worth watching!

BITE THE BULLET

This is so exciting, one of my favorite photographers Steve Carty and his crew (Javier Lovera, and Jalani Morgan), produced their first music video.

This band is Toronto based, and I can't wait to hear more - as this song is fire. It played during our last shoot, and the entire crew had it stuck in their head ALL day

CONGRATULATIONS 405 FAM!!!!!!

Ego - Beyonce

I Am Sasha fierce

One my favorites off of Beyonce's new album, mainly due to the witty lyrics


''Its too big
Its too wide
Its too strong
It wont fit
Its too much
Its too tough
He talks like this
Cuz he can back it up
He got a big ego
Such a huge ego
I love his big ego"

"PARIS (AFP) — Armed robbers pulled off one of the world's biggest jewellery heists at a famed Paris store, making off with 85 million euros (107 million dollars) in diamonds and valuables, officials said Friday.

A gang of four thieves -- two of them disguised as women -- on Thursday stole nearly all the jewels on display at the Harry Winston boutique just off the Champs-Elysees avenue, which attracts a wealthy international clientele . . ."

How Many Corners Must You Cut?

HOW MANY CORNERS MUST YOU CUT?
Hi Con Artists


Being a young female model, who works freelance, and deals with the daily bullshit on her own - it's inevitable I have come across your fair share of shady counterparts.

The best gift my mother has ever given me, was real world smarts.
I've grown with her, dealt with many life lessons at an early age - and because of this I have an impressive bullshit detector with my minimal amount of life experience.

It's not just your shady craigslist postings, the supposed photographers who approach you with no business cards on hand - sans websites . . it's legit agencies, the registered production companies, and clean looking domains you have to be careful with.

People can be professionally shady.

I've been fortunate thus far, to not get involved in such counterparts - or have backed away swiftly if I detected a slight note of eau de bullshit.

Yet I know many who are blissfully naive.

Girls - please, it's simple
IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
IT PROBABLY IS

This is why I am finally attending school - so I can better my legal defense in an industry filled with dragons, and few princes to slay them.

Beauty is powerfull,
Yet your mind is potent.

Elevate!
