I realized something this weekend...
I'm a total people watcher!
Leave me in a crowded place and I could be amused for hours just watching others..
On the subway I tend to look at peoples shoes... I like to see what peoples shoes say about them.. Why they chose to wear certain shoes or where they may be going in those shoes..
In malls I could sit there on a bench and watch peoples behavior. I watch families and see how the parents react to the children screaming or watch a new couple who must hold hands at all times even when there is no space on an escalator and he is standing behind her..
Or even the random single shopper who looks so assertive and focused on what they came to the mall to do...
Oh and who can leave out the flocks of pre-teen and teenagers who got dropped off at the mall by mommy so they could slap on some lipstick, hike up their skirts and meet with the boys.
I even people watch on TV for gods sakes!
Reality show junkie here HELLO!
ah well at least I can keep myself amused in random places right? lol
Are you a people watcher?

I got chills several times and really felt like I was at his concert.
I would say 2 thumbs up if you are a MJ fan if you're not you probably wont care much for it.
Mr.BF thought it was ok and didn't really get any feeling from it... hes not really a huge MJ fan though.
The production of this concert was going to be crazy, entertaining and really expensive but it would have made for an awesome show. To see the hours of rehearsals his entire crew put in and everything that went into his show was truly special. You get to see just how mild mannered he is and just how much of a talented performer we all knew but may have forgotten was there.
This movie really made me love MJ just a tad more... *Sigh*
Enough about MJ I'm off to the beach!!
See you in a week :)
Stay Pretty ;)
Well B2M were amazing! I tired to upload a video to youtube however it took way too long so mayhaps when I get back from my fab beach vaca which btw I leave for in 2 days booyah!!
I haven't even packed yet and the thought of all that I have to do is overwhelming at the moment but I know ill get it done because I'm always up till midnight the night before I fly packing... no sleep but it gets done.... and really who cares I'm off to do nothing for a week :)
Tonight however I have a hot date with Michael Jackson at the theatre. I cant wait to see this movie :)
Has anyone seen it yet?
Stay Pretty ;)
Likes crunchy peanut butter???
Geez Louise! I swear people look at me weird when I ask for it or request that my mother buy it for her house when I visit...
I understand sometimes smooth is nice but I just don't think chunky gets the credit it deserves!

Well, today is Wednesday September 9th 2009.....
09/09/09.... why is this day any different from 05/05/05 or 07/07/07??
Well let me tell you...
- September is the 9th month of the year
- Today is the 9th day of this month
- This is the year 2009
- The word September has 9 letters in it
- Today is Wednesday, Wednesday has 9 letters as well
- September 9th also happens to be the 252nd day of the year (2 + 5 +2)
- 09-09-09 = 27, 2+7=9
- It represents the last set of repeating, single-digit dates that we'll see for almost a century (until January 1, 2101)
- As the final numeral, the number nine holds special rank. It is associated with forgiveness, compassion and success on the positive side as well as arrogance and self-righteousness on the negative, according to numerologists.
- Multiply nine by any two, three or four-digit number and the sums of those will also break down to nine. For example: 9x62 = 558; 5+5+8=18; 1+8=9.
- It is also the upside-down number of "the beast" - satan = 666, of course.

Sometimes I look up out of my office window at the clouds and try to make pictures out of them....
The other day I looked up and saw this...

:O

Stay Pretty ;)
WOW! What a great movie... If you haven't bothered to see it yet I highly suggest you do.

Anyways I loved it!

Speak your mind!

This Ronnie character really annoys me.. not only does he look SO odd, kinda like wheres Waldo me thinks but hes really strange. He acts gay but is married, looks like his hair is greasy ALL the time, lies to everyone which is fine I guess its a game but it isn't winning him any friends and just made the all time dumbest move nominating Jordan instead of Russell.
Ok maybe I'm being a bit harsh but hes really starting to annoy me now....
Stay Pretty ;)
So I know you all missed me tons right? lol ok well I missed you!
Vaca was good... saw gramps turn 89 woot woot!! Got to hang with my cousins and shop a bit..
Ill post about all my goodies with pics on Monday but I just wanted to say HI ;)
Oh and that I just found out my most favorite group every Boyz II Men (don't hate!) is coming to Toronto again this year!!! You know what that means right??? Yup I'm dragging Mr. 25 to go see them with me :)
This news makes me happy... that combined with the fact that I'm well again (got super sick on the flight home story Monday) and that its FRIDAY makes me smile!!
Swimsuit photoshoot Sunday cant wait should be fun!! (For the hundredth time NO I'm not a model I'm a makeup artist this is why I work on photoshoots!)...
Have a great weekend peeps!
Stay Pretty ;)

OK WTF?!!!
Adam baby I don't care if you lost... or quite frankly that you're gay I still want to marry you! Or at least mate with you....er... anyway I have to say this was the biggest upset Ive ever witnessed on Idol... but then again I rarely watch the show, except this year I tuned in to see Adam.... *drool*
I'm determined that Kris only won because hes from a smaller town. Its a fact that winners of A.I. are rarely if never from big cities cuz the people in bigger cities have better things to do with their lives than vote!
Yes this is what will help me sleep tonight lol...
Anyway ok Im over that... So guess what Im doing tonight??
You guessed it (or not) Ill be jammin with Dennis Rodman at his what... 75th birthday party here in the Tdot...wooot woot... I know youre all SO jealous!
Also I have my 3rd date with Mr.25 tomorrow night... Hes actually surprising me I gotta say. We talk a lot... like at least twice a day.... which I gotta be honest is super weird for me cuz we all know I have issues letting someone get close these days but I guess cuz hes SO innocent and a "good guy" Ive lowered my guard a bit... ok I cant think about this too much or ill freak myself out haha..
This is also a huge weekend lots to do Ill let you guys in on the deets tomorrow..
BTW yesterday was 30° (some of you saw my tweet about this) YA well today... a cool 29°C!!
Its getting hot in herrrrrrr :P
Stay Pretty ;)
Here in Canada we have a long weekend.. No work today YAY!
So while I sit here catching up on some PVR, I hope you are all having a wonderful day.
I shall be back to blogging tomorrow.
Stay Pretty ;)
Ok so me and my girl are going to be hosting a singles event with a twist.
Each "single" who comes has to bring another single friend of the opposite sex to the party.
This ensures an even amount of men and woman and kinda makes it easier in terms of not being there alone...
Its going to be 25 and older event and it will be held at a lounge downtown with about 80 guests, 40 men and 40 women.. this way the singles will have time to mingle before the lounge opens and the dj starts...
What do you guys think? Would you go to an event like this?
If there are any singles in the Toronto area email me if you're interested in joining us :)

One of my best friends got married over the weekend it was soo nice... I cant believe it, it all happened so fast but went really well!
I finally got a new Canon camera BUT I didn't get an upgraded memory card cuz I thought that I would just use the one from my old canon.... ask me if I can find it!!! So I was only able to take like 10 pics of us getting ready..... Im waiting for pics from my other friends but here are a few I took from my crackberry....
This was the first night called the Mehndi or "henna" night.. They had a Moroccan theme and so the centerpieces were lanterns.
Traditionally on this night the bride is supposed to wear greens or yellows. Her outfit was light to dark green so she pulled some of those colors in the decor. Here is the stage with the bride and groom watching some dances by family.
I did her makeup for this night... As I said her outfit was light green that faded to dark green so of course the eyes had to match!
The next night was the reception which was stunning!
Check out the centerpiece!
And the cake cutting ceremony with the bride and groom and grooms cute daughter.
Overall an amazing weekend...
But now I'm officially drained and sick of Indian food (for now)... for those of you who follow me on Twitter I posted a pic of myself in my Saree... well the top of it anyway lol...
Stay Pretty ;)
Well I don't have time to post much today as its one CRAZY day but I just wanted to say have a wonderful weekend. I will be attending to my girl this weekend as she gets married. Yup another wedding.... It sucks being one of the last single ones!
However I have made a promise to myself wanna hear it? Here goes....
-I will not cry, kick or scream
-I will not feel sorry for myself or throw my hands up and yell WHY?!
-I will not steal any of the brides spotlight in hopes a young available man will spot me
-I will not make fake conversations with any aunties or uncles who I don't know just to meet that somewhat normal looking man at their table
-I will not wear a fake engagement ring just so people I haven't seen in a while will think I've got something on the go or in the works
-I will not get drunk and try to pretend I know how to Bhangra... (good thing its a Muslim wedding with only fruit juice and water huh!)
Oh and
-I will not do her makeup so over the top so I look better than her muahaha jks I would never!
Yes this covers just some of the promises I've made for this weekend to myself... oh and the bride... hehe
Ok I promise you I'm really not depressed about this at all I'm super happy for her.... really I am....
Stay Pretty ;)
One of my best friends is getting married this weekend and has had a hell of a time finding a makeup artist.... I know what you are all thinking why didn't she ask you?! Well she did ask me to do her makeup for Friday night which is the "Henna" party night (generally a bigger deal than the reception in her culture) but she doesn't want me running around and busy on the day of the reception which I understand since ill have lots to do...
Anyway she has been to trials with 2 different makeup artists and hasn't liked anything.. She went to visit #3 last night. She asked me to come with so I did as a friend not a makeup artist. I actually really liked this artist and she seemed to know what she was doing as she had been in the industry for 7 years and even works as an on call artist at MAC.
The trial was done in the washroom of a house with all her products spread out along the counter, which I suppose isn't the end of the world but what made me kinda wonder about her methods was when I looked down at her brush belt and noticed that some of the brushes weren't cleaned! Some of her MAC white haired brushes were multicolored and they could have been stained but I noticed shine from shadows on them too...
This is a HUGE industry standard NO NO! If its one thing that was stressed to us over and over its sanitation. I had to bite my tongue not to say anything since I only noticed half way through the application... I tried to convince myself that she had cleaned them and that they were just stained or that she wasn't going to use that particular brush on my girl... So I sat there in silence....
Until..... She got to the mascara part. She pulls out this tube of mascara and opened it up.. I knew it wasn't new because I could see the top had black all over it and any girl knows when you open a new tube its clean... This wasn't the bad part... I just about gaged when she used the brush from the used mascara tube on my friends eyes and then put it back in the tube and used it on the other eye! Mascara carries the MOST bacteria of all makeup and to keep it sanitary you NEVER use the wand that comes with it on your clients. If she used it on my friend shes obviously done it before, if she used it on someone with an eye infection guess what my friend now has it!
The makeup was amazing and so my friend booked her but as soon as we got in the car I told her what I observed and she said she was wondering why she did that too... I guess shes going to bring her own mascara the day of the wedding and also request she clean the brushes but it kinda makes me wonder what other sanitation issues she has!
Ladies if a makeup artist EVER uses a used tube of mascara on you make sure she uses disposable wands and never ever puts that wand back in the tube after shes used it. The last thing you want is someone else's pink eye!!!!
Anyway today I have to list a bunch of stuff on CL to sell so I can raise funds for my studio and make space in that room of mine, also I should finally get around to printing business cards since ppl have started asking....
I also have a big bruise on my bumbum :( I fell this morning don't ask...
Stay Pretty ;)
My first real week back at work and im here early! Why you ask? because I had to move my car from the underground as the power washing begins today and I love my car too much to let it suffer or risk being abused my strong water pressure!
A few things I had forgotten and or missed about the office...
- how much I missed my daily Country Style Coffee runs because they are SOO much better than Tim Hortons! Yeah I said it :P
- how cold/hot it gets in my office due to the large windows and that thing we call the sun
- how much I loved hearing the order desk lady flirt with all the old men who call.. (insert wide eyed straight mouth msn smiley here)
- how much I enjoyed seeing my entire family everyday
- how great it was to have my very own washroom
- how convenient it was to have a mini kitchen close by
- how close work was to home and the fact that I no longer have to ride the germy subways every morning
- blogging on a reg
- and last but no least being in touch via email,msn, facebook,twitter & phone all day.. this was made easier by my crackberry but viewing everything on a tiny screen gets to you after a while!
So Im glad to be back to my routine... cuz I heart routine and you!
Stay Pretty ;)
Hey hey hey
Im finally back at work after 3.5 months. Was supposed to be back yesterday but I've been a sicky :( stupid flu! Im finally feeling a wee bit better though. Its kinda strange being back, sitting at a desk in front of a computer all day. I had forgotten how cold my office was (big windows and all) and while I was gone someone stole my space heater.. how rude!
SO this weekend is Easter long weekend and my big plans are to finally clear out my second bedroom which is now just a junk/storage room so that I can put a studio/closet in there.... I need a place I can do makeup when people come for trials and applications so I have to get on that asap!
So pics to come next week.... Oh I also have to go look for a new digi cam this weekend since my kick ass one broke the first week of school... im still bitter!
Happy to be back, now I gotta catch up on all your blogs!
Stay Pretty ;)
Went out last night to a club downtown for our girls night.. so much fun and its kinda funny because 2 are married 1 is engaged 1 is in a serious relationship and then theres me... the lone single one lol. Which Im totally ok with but i think my girls felt that it was there duty to help me meet people its kind of funny..
Anyway SO I met a pilot from England who told me he was in town for 3 days. We got to talking and he asks me if ill come back to his hotel with him :O ok I dont know about you all but this has never really happened to me before... I mean SO direct... It was kinda funny cuz there was no way I was going to go with him because not only am I not that kinda girl but my friends would never ever let me leave with someone. He kept asking and even said he would get a hotel room where he was staying for my friends... lol wow he must have really wanted to get some... I again said no and then he said ok what about tomorrow?! lol I just got the vibe that he goes from city to city pulling this shit with every girl!
Do you guys remember my other pilot experience??! Oh wow what a disaster that was! I mean the idea of a pilot is SO hot but they are all either jerks or weirdos!
Oh well it was a fun weekend but reality has sunk in... 2 major projects due Tues ahhh...
Pics from last weeks photoshoot up soon...
Stay Pretty ;)
Awesome subway ride home today... Me, 10,000 strangers and the screaming man who insisted on rubbing his below the belt `no zone`over and over (fly undone) while he gawked at everyone in our subway car.. Awesomeness!
Apparently nasty shit doesn't just happen on the subways in New York huh........
Stay Pretty ;)
