Magazine awesomeness

OH MY GOD!

You know when you're about 10 and you get your picture in the newspaper for the Terry Fox run or something and you're really excited even though you can only see you're feet, an arm and half of your face? Well take that excitement and multiply it by 100 and that's the kind of excitement I had when I found out I was in a magazine from Milan!!!

I'm a full page in Hairworld International Issue 24, giggity! I screamed when I saw it, jumped around and acted like a complete fool. But it was so cool!

The next step is to frame it somehow...scalpel anyone?

More hair photos!

Yay for more hair photos!

Glitter, glam and hot hair!

I've done hair shows for about 7 years now on and off. I started doing them while I was in high school in grade 9 and going to local competitions. My first competition my stylist and I won 1st prize for a Junior stylist; and we've been together ever since, mostly. I go to (when I'm in Barrie) Lindie Blackwell at Spyce Salon and Spa. She does great work and at a really good price too. She knows exactly what she wants your hair to look like, what goes with your face...everything.

Anyway back to the hair shows. Once we did some stage work Lindie moved onto doing photo shoots. Awesome pictures from when I was about 16/17 until I was 20. Now that I live in the north, it's a little harder to get down to Barrie to do the shoots, but the next time I'm there I promise I'll pump out a couple more. Even if it means me in a bathroom doing emo Myspace shots.

A mini vacation

My postmaster and I went for a nice stroll to Ottawa for the Civic long weekend. It was great! We went to the Museum of Civilization in Hull, Museum of Science and Technology, the Rideau mall a kajillion times and walked pretty much everywhere. It was great! Now flying back was a little bit tricky, we were at the airport in Ottawa and everything was a go. We got into the air, a couple of hours later we were supposed to be landing in Iqaluit, not so much. There was so much fog, landing was not an option. We ended up flying to Kuujjuaq and sitting there for about an hour then took off for a successful land in Iqaluit.
