front page, whoo!
Once in a while, I’m on the front page of the website of my modeling agency, Orange Model Management Inc. Photos are randomly loaded every time you reload the page, so you may or may not see me on there if you go visit. It’s kinda neat 🙂

sbux visa
While the Starbucks (yes, yes, Starbucks is evil and no one should go there – sorry. I just like the coffee) card/VISA combo is really awesome – I get free money from Starbucks loaded onto the card regularly, on top of the 1% cashback on my VISA purchases and 3% cashback on the money I…

the problem with commercialism today
Andy Budd has written a blog post outlining precisely what is wrong with companies that deal with consumers on any level these days. It’s one of many similar stories I’ve run into lately, across various blogs. It’s true, I’ve seen all of this kind of treatment in my own life, and it’s frustrating. It makes…

istoica photo shoot
A couple of weeks ago, I had a photo shoot with the Toronto duo group, istoica. They do some really interesting, edgy, punky work – I was really happy to shoot with them. They’ve posted a couple of the shots on their site (go check out their other work, too). I think they turned out…

how much are you willing to pay for you?
My computer died the other day. Over the weekend it had had some problems accessing one of my hard drives, and Windows was running very slowly. I attempted surgery on it Monday night, but to no avail. Indeed, I believe I may have mucked it up further by attempting (and failing spectacularly) to re-install Windows.…

the smoking ban
Living downtown, I’ve begun to notice something. While, on the rare occasions I do go out, the smoke has cleared in bars and clubs for the most part – people do still smoke in clubs especially; who’s to stop them when there’s a massive crowd protecting them from the view of whomever is meant to…

beauty supply outlet commercial now out…
So, remember that commercial I was in? Well, it’s now on the air. Also here for your amusement (until I get told to remove it). (BLARGH! Okay for some reason YouTube hates me and the code they provided won’t post properly in WordPress. So just click the links to go see the videos: variation 1,…

the holidays, in summary
As you may have guessed from my lack of posting, I went abroad for the holidays. My destination was the UK to be re-uinted with immediate and not-so-immediate family that I see on rare occasions. The two weeks I spent with them was lovely. I caught up with cousins I haven’t seen in a decade…

niagara on the lake wine tour
I recently went on a wine tour, courtesy of my place of work. Niagara on the Lake was our destination, and we stayed at the Pillar & Post, an absolutely gorgeous hotel. We enjoyed a day of wines produced by three separate wineries, of the total of sixty that exist, in the region. They ranged…
