i got…(Naal)

Published by

I was on the receiving end of a very cute gift this weekend. Naal by STRANGEco. Action Fighter Naal Mushroom Lover Naal Innocent-looking Naal is the first character in the series – a determined keeper of the mushroom patch. Naal’s ultrasonic helmet listens for the sound of any unwanted shroom-spiders and once engaged in battle, Naal furiously defends his plantation decked in robot arms, war pipe and visor. Naal comes complete with a complement of accessories for both his Action Hero and Mushroom Lover forms, including 2 separate helmets, arms and pipes, as well as 2 mushrooms and a small family of shroom-spiders!(source) Magic Pony on Queen Street West is the place to get designer toys and where my lovely Naal came from. The store will have you drooling over everything. Magic Pony 694 Queen St West – map it!!!

i got…(Thinking of you)

Published by

Thinking of you by Dan Brown Sam Brown is the comic artist behind Exploding Dog. His hi my name is sam, i draw pictures, from your titles. send me a title, or any thing else you want to talk to me about A good friend of mine sent me an autographed copy of Thinking of You. It was a very cool gift. Thinking of you is a hardcover book made for the fifth year of the explodingdog website. It contains over 140 full colour pictures selected from the last five years of explodingdog. Sam Brown’s work is like nothing I’ve seen before, it works to my sense of humour, perhaps not to others. Some of my favourites are: were all gonna die MAXIMUM DESTRUCTION and so it begins trust me, it’s going to be ok Sam Brown came to Toronto this summer for The Toronto Comic Arts Festival. I got to meet him briefly and got him to sign my copy of Amazing Rain. Hopefully, he will be back again in 2006. For you Canadian …

i got… (Lip Venom)

Published by

Lip Venom by DuWop Lip Venom is a spicy, tingly gloss that enhances the natural color and shape of the lips by increasing circulation with a blend of essential oils including cinnamon and ginger. The result: shiny, bee-stung lips.(source) This is not a new purchase, but I like the stuff so it’s a post. I ordered a sample from the company before I bit the bullet. I had read in the Red Flag Deals forums that they sent samples. I was hooked. I also have the Windflower Venom Gloss. For those freaking about the spicy part of this, they do have a Lip Venom Lite version which isn’t as powerful and not as fun. Sephora which is suppose to be the beauty superstore only carries the Lip Venom. Holt Renfrew on the other hand carries the whole DuWop lineup.

i got…(Oddzballz)

Published by

Oddzballz I bought the purple one, its name is Slupeez. These cute little cell phone charms are made by the talented Elsa Kawai. I first saw them in early December and ordered one without hesitation. They are all handmade and no two are exactly alike (just like high priced denim guys!). While they are listed as cell phone charms, I plan on using mine as a bag charm. They would be good on a keychain also. The First OddzBallz Why the name?? Because they are odd and round like a ball! The OddzBallz are the offspring of my fantasy and the first OddzBallz saw the face of this earth on a warm summer day in 2005 when I did some random drawings in my sketchbook, while waiting for my flight to Providence, RI. My brain suddenly had an inspiration and my hands produced a funny creature, which turned out to be the prototype OddBeez character. I wanted OddBeez to have a body & soul, so I gave him a body using clay materials. I then …

i go: ACuddle Pullover by Lululemon

Published by

Cuddle Pullover by Lululemon I’m not a crazy Lululemon junkie. I own none of their shorts, tank tops or pants. I do own this and another hoodie though and I really love them. The test of a great hoodie is in the hood and these are great. Lululemon hoodies are made to last using super thick cotton. They are preshrunk so you can toss then in the dryer. To be honest, it took me a year to put my other hoodie in the dryer. I’m obsessive with my clothes and wash anything I really, really care about in cold water and I hang it to dry. Oh and it’s black, not pink like the picture.

i got: 1964 PAC Sorel boots

Published by

1964 PAC Sorel boots This was the most difficult of my boxing day finds. Aldo is selling Sorels, seems they had some partnership as the boots were branded with both logos. Anyways, I had no intention of getting white boots, but all other colours were sold out in my size. I found my size in white in 2 of the 5 Aldos I visited. They are damn popular this season. I was in a rush to find these things as they were on sale from $99.99 to $79.99 and there was an additional 25% off before 11a.m. That extra 25% worked out to $19.00 and the boots finally cost $59.99. Woot! I wasn’t crazy on the colour at first, but I was thinking function over fashion. I wasn’t stupid enough to feel the $40 extra was worth having brown Sorels. These boots are light, very, very warm and best of all WATERPROOF. I will no longer cringe at those nasty, salty and slushy puddles at intersections. I will walk through them proudly laughing at the …

Etsy.com, My newest obsession

Published by

I discovered Etsy.com on boingboing.

Etsy is an online marketplace for buying and selling all things handmade. Etsy lets you shop by color, place, time and material.

You can read more about Etsy.com here.

I can browse this site for days on end, there is just so many different things to look at. For example I purchased this tank top from Little Odd Forest out of Singapore.
Blue Owl Tank Top
When I opened this package I was so suprised by the presentation of the product, it was extremely professional and inlcuded some goodies (a button, some postcards and stickers)

More after the Jump…

Woot! WordPress

I finally bit the bullet and got myself a domain and hosting. Yay. Soon all my blogger stuff will be here, but for now I’m still setting things up.

I’ve fallen in love again…

Published by

It’s strange how a small item can make you feel like a little kid again. That’s how I feel about the new Converse Chuck Taylors I bought recently. Chucks look soooo good on. I love them with a pair of jeans and a Threadless t. I purchased these from Get Outside – map it!!!. I tried a different colour combination, but I decided to go for the classic black and white version. They are a throwback to the first Chucks I ever had in Grade 7. Wearing these chucks for the first time reminded me of my family trip to DisneyWorld in Orlando where my brother and I were so happy with our new Chucks. We had the exact same pair. I also had a black and white hat to match my shoes. Sigh, memories…. shoes, fashion, converse, toronto

Montreal Madness part 1b Everything but the shoes in this picture was purchased in Montreal. I initially saw the jacket in the window of Bedo and I had to have it. I really love military clothing (real or inspired) and that attracted me to the jacket. There was no desire to own anything velvet in me initially, something just clicked. My buddy Jason helped me put together the rest of the outfit and I thank him for it. The skirt is a Boxfresh product which was from a store I really liked called Aritmetiks. The stores are very nice, but the website really sucks. The software tester in me didn’t want to link to it, but I gave in. The tank top (which you can’t see in the above picture) was from Club Monaco. Montreal, fashion, shopping
