don.
























Tonight was one of the first that I noticed how early the sun was starting to set. 

I know these carefree days will be gone too all too soon...that means I'm becoming the yes woman. 

Dinner on the beach? Yes. 

Going for an early morning hike? Absolutely. 

Let's go out on the boat. Done. 

There is no time like the present. Off we go! 

Enjoy and soak in August in all its glory.

manhattan.

"Chapter one, he adored New York City..."

The first few notes are some of the most iconic sounds we will ever know as humans. On this cold, rainy evening, this piece of music captures everything about the weather, the city, the news all in mere moments.

Tied in the opening sequence of Woody Allen's infamous film, Manhattan, (one of my favourite movies) the rain doesn't look so bad after all.

"Rhapsody in Blue" by George Greshwin. Enjoy.

raindrops.

Part of the fun of being a freelancer is never really knowing what your week is going to look like. 

One day you're literally at the office, the next you're holding an anaconda snake (this actually happened) and sometimes you end up in a flash mob. 

This past Wednesday, I had the opportunity to dance with some of the ladies in my dance troupe at the launch of a new rain wearstore, Raindrops TO, in Yorkville. 

This store has much more than a normal selection of rainwear - think rhinestone-encrusted and ruffle-topped umbrellas, motorcycle-inspired rainboots and coats with leather, leopard and metallic details. 

Sticking with the theme, we performed to a mashup of "Umbrella" and "Singing in the Rain" - we figured because it was the store launch, it wouldn't mean too much bad luck to open up umbrellas inside. 

Keep your eyes peeled on CityLine and ETalk this upcoming week - we modelled these outfits for a segment airing next week. 

The next day, it was back behind the camera for me, but it's interesting to work on both side of it. Each gig and event I work at helps me pick up some ideas for how to interact/make the process smoother for those on each end. 

Here are a few photos from the event:






Make sure to have an umbrella handy this weekend - it's supposed to be a wet one!

poets.

"So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. 

A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. 

Don’t use very sad, use morose. 

Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women.  

And, in that endeavor, laziness will not do."

 -Dead Poets Society




Good words from one of my favourite films on this rainy day. 

Have a great weekend!
