Sex & The City 2 ~ Getting Carried away

I’m going to the Sex & the City party on May 27th, hosted by Shannae Ingleton of What Women Want.  So ladies have to dress up as their favorite character. To be honest I didn’t follow the series (loved the movie) just wasn’t a die hard fan. So when my girlfriends are talking about this episode or that episode, I’m totally lost! LOL…and yes I still get the appalled – “What do you mean you didn’t follow the series?” look complete with huge eyeballs!!

Anyways – so trying to dress as my fav character is a bit difficult…as I don’t know the ladies intimately, but well enough – I do love all of them!

Carrie – (to be quite honest, every time I see her, I wanna feed her..I just think she’s too skinny)…I digress. I do like her…she seems like the most normal and is very relate able.

So I asked my BFF’s who am I in the sex n city world and this is what one of them said and I quote:

“I can see Carrie, your loyal to friends, very supportive and you brought all the girls together, I met you and then I met everyone else kinda like in the show.
Hellllo, you have a fashion line remember? That’s very fashionista And you’re a writer like Carrie, hence the blog. ”

So it’s quite interesting how your friends perceive you, as I never saw or thought of myself as a Carrie. I’m not fashion obsessed – if it fits, I will wear it. The label doesn’t matter to me – I love shoes but I’m not a shoe-aholic.LOVE ALL of the outfits – well most of the outfits Carrie wears…some I raise my eyebrows at..

So I need Carrie inspired dress ideas…what do you think? Am I a Carrie? (I know I’m a whole lot curvier..:) Also LOVE her voice:) I know it’s weird but I do..Love the dress in the pic below..

Walking Etiquette

We all need to remember that Etiquette is all about respectful and acceptable behavior between individuals. I work at Scotiabank, Scotia Plaza in the heart of the financial district. Some of you may not be aware, but there is an Path(underground) connected to lots of other financial institutions and stores. The underground is usually packed with people..and last week I couldn`t help but note that several individuals are not aware they are not exercising proper etiquette  when walking in a large group.

Walking etiquette? Yes you read right…The following points should be considered when walking in a heavy traffic area.

• Please do not swing your arms back and forth when walking. Note that you are in a crowd and everyone is trying to get by. Hitting someone in the groin or stomach (ouch)  isn`t cool. Please keep your arms close to your side when walking – no swinging.
• If you would like to catch up with Mary, please stand off to the side and not the middle of the walkway. People are trying to get to work and it`s not polite to stand and stop the flow of traffic.
• Do not stand on both sides of the escalator – note that one side should be for people who would like to ride up and the other is for those who would like to walk. Please stand behind the individual who`s riding and keep the other side free.
• Do not stand at the entrance of the escalator and catch up with Bob. Please stand off to the side, away from the entrance. Mary or John  should not be going around or between you to get to the escalator.
• Please be aware of your bag, when walking. Do hold it in front of you or closely to your side. Do not brush or knock anyone over with your bag.
• Keep your phone in your pocket and watch where you are going. Bumping into people can be a bit annoying esp if it`s because you weren`t paying attention due to the incoming text from Jackie.

Hope you remember those tips! Share with your friends and family and feel free to send me any tips you would like to share as well.

My Therapy

My coping mechanism….

Some of you may know how hectic my schedule is..I do have lots on my plate and sometimes I do think I am a bit crazy. (I heard it`s sane to think that you are a bit crazy)..lol. Anyways MUSIC…yes you know the good stuff from way back when? Takes me to that place where all is OK..that happy place!! Stress has no business being in your life..so do ensure you kick it out! Music helps…and also signing along off key and dancing also helps.lol..(So I`ve heard..lol).

I LOVE music..it`s the ultimate therapy for me and always puts me in a great mood! This being said I love browsing my friend Geena Lee`s blog..she has some great mixes on there..So tonight I am grooving to the Lovezone whilst I sip on some Shiraz…Enjoy! Thanks Geena!
To hear the mix, enter The Lovezone: http://lovezoneradio.blogspot.com/2010/05/episode-25-lets-hear-it-for-boys.html

Have a great week!

Random Thoughts

So…I have some random thoughts I’d like to share with you, which may not belong to any particular subject or topic…just random thoughts..

I’m sure we’ve all heard how Sandra Bullock’s husband cheated on her, along with the Tiger Woods mess etc.

I think that by constantly writing, talking, and showing pictures of Sandra, etc, that the media is kinda glorifying cheating. And who cares about the husband? Stop writing about him! If he’s scum, then why are you writing about scum? or even talking about him?

Do we like seeing others suffering and in pain? Can we allow people to go through their pain without making a circus show out of it? I’m not saying not to write about it, just write once or twice and let it go! Geesh..

I think that these people need to deal with their cheating spouses in private -whether or not they’re a  celebrity .

That’s all for my random thoughts for this evening…Thanks for reading..I feel much better now that I’ve let it out.

Go celebrate your fab self!
