Year: 2005

fire fire!!!

So I was shopping (suprise, suprise) on Sunday (July 10, 2005) at Tap Phong. If you don’t know Tap Phong, where have you been, they have great housewares stuff for cheap. I bought 2 lawn chairs and a Parasole. Anyways, I walk out of Tap Phong and there is a massive cloud of smoke in the sky. Apparently a big fire took out a bunch of townhomes (Reg req’d). It was pretty crazy seeing it on the street. So Ryan started to have some fun toronto

i got…

Here are a few things I’ve purchased recently. Fidelity Demin I got these jeans while on vacation in Vancouver in March. They are the perfect length for me (32 inseam). I wear more flat shoes, so getting a 34 inseam really sucks. I don’t want to cut them because they are perfect for heels; but I have to roll them up to wear them with flats. This drives me insane. So it’s nice to have jeans that fit perfectly. Apparently these jeans make your butt look really good; I’m not a very good judge of that though. The designer Jason Trotzuk is a Canadian and the creator of Dish Jeans. Fidelity is a little higher end than Dish jeans but only by about 50 – 70 bucks. OK47 Muscleshirt and Halter Top As a gemini, yellow is my colour. I love lots of colour, it’s helps that I have the complexion that allows me to wear all the colours of the rainbow. These 2 lovely items are from another great Canadian company OK47. They make …

Club Coupe 911 Limited Edition

God, look at that car, isn’t it freakin’ beautiful

I love these cars. I remember in high school having pictures of Porsches all over my locker and books. This beauty is a limited edition made especially for Porsche Club of America’s 50th anniversary. I’ve always battled with what colour my Porsche would be, but after seeing this one, I now know… Baby Blue. I’m a big fan of the targa, check out some beautiful pictures here.

UFO Stovetop Espresso Maker

So, I got my espresso maker. Making those first cups of espresso was such a major pain in the ass, I can’t believe it. I blame the instructions, there were piss poor. LOL! I did manage to figure it out eventually and had a cup. I was happy. Here is a picture of it on my stove. coffee

What a weekend…

Wow, this was a busy weekend in the city. FridayFriday I celebrated birthdays with another Gemini friend of mine. I was born on June 6th so the party was a little late, but it was a lot of fun. Here are a few choice shots; you can view the rest here The Birthday Boy SaturdayI went to the Ribs festival at the Distillery District. It was a lot smaller than I expected but the ribs were good good. I got some ribs from Camp 31, a Canadian outfit from Paris, Ontario. The ribs were nice and tasty. A full rack is much to big too eat oneself, so I split one with my friend Paul. I didn’t take any pictures of the Distillery District, there were just too many humans walking around. Sunday And now Sunday, the final day of Pride in Toronto. Pride to me is an excuse to party. I was there as an ally to the community and to hang out with some friends. I didn’t watch the parade. I don’t care …

i want…

Prada Sunglasses That’s me with some loaned Prada Shades. This was taken at my birthday celebration on Friday. You can see the rest of the shots here. These sunglasses are very nice. A friend let me try them on and then complimented me on how they looked. I have to agree; unfortunately these sunglasses cost about 300 bucks. Not a very good investment for someone who loses sunglasses all the time, hence why I buy cheap. sunglasses, prada
