Saturday Night.

Background info: So I went for dinner for my friend Samara's birthday, and then we went out to Hatters. Unfortunately, it was some crazy boxing match and every seat was filled and there was barely standing room let alone a table for ten. So we kind of just stood until the match was over. I was with my friend Teddy. Anyways we had a great time until it was time to leave.

We go to get our jackets at the coat check and there is a table of guys who call us over. They ask us some question about the difference between homicide vs. assasination...whatever not the point. One of the guys at the table asks us if we are fans of R. Kelly. Great a 'you look 14 joke'. We explain that we are in fact 19 and they are shocked. Fun fact - they had a bet on it. Just Fabulous.

We tell them we get it we look twelve and one of the guys goes well you also look jewish. No surprise he was a Jew too. Jewdar at it's best. He then goes let me guess your names. He calls me Michelle and calls Teddy Rebecca. We tell him he got it wrong when he goes to me well then, your last name is White and hers is Green. Well 1/2 isn't bad. He wasn't surprised at all because and I quote "Jew last names, always a colour!" So true. We talk about CSL, Hampstead, Westmount and DDO and then make our ways out the door.
Though, the anti-ego boost is far from over.

Some guy outside smoking goes to us "Hey girls can I ask you something... don't take it the wrong way." Oh let me guess he wants to know if we are actually legal. Ha Ha we get it we look 12. He continues "I had a bet with my friends upstairs about your age, I guessed you were barely 18. So are you?" Thanks but we are on our way to 20. He was SHOCKED and apologized.


Nothing spells out a fun like two different set of guys betting against your legality...

Top 3 - Websites

I decided to create a "Top 3" every Sunday

Sept 28th: Top 3 websites:

1. PostSecret
No description could justifiably describe this site.
Just click.



2. Cassette From My Ex
This site invites people to share old mix tapes given to them by boyfriends/ girlfriends. The catch: they must tell the tale of their romance.



3. Etsy
Etsy is an online marketplace where one can buy and sell anything handmade.
The link sends you to Etsy's about page because I suggest checking out the video!
Also you must click




Top 3s coming up in the next few weeks: songs, movies, books, and we shall see what else...

Fashion Rut of Pathetic Proportions

American Apparel has robbed me of any fashion individuality I may have once had. For about a year now I have been stuck in a fashion rut that only increases as American Apparel introduces new styles and colours into their fall line. Their deadliest item.... the deep v-neck. Morning wardrobe decisions are no longer "what should I wear" but rather which colour v-neck will I pair up with my skinny jeans today. Sometimes if I am feeling extra adventuress I wear my high top Nikes instead of my Converse. Pathetic I know.

Now would seem like the perfect time to go on an American Apparel strike and swear to give up all AA articles for a week. The problem is that this "strike" would interfere with the first day of school and I just can't sacrifice the perfect first day outfit.

And so I find myself unwilling to give up my AA addiction which leaves me in a pathetic fashion rut that I might just like too much to change.
