I got to go to the Fleetwood Mac concert! So great. Love them to bits. It was pretty phenomenal to get to see them live. They have been one of my favourite bands my entire life (even when I was 8 and would complain about them dominating the tape player on car trips).<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_5031.jpg" border="0" /></div><div>And then I went on a great "camping" trip to the states with a bunch of friends. We stayed at a cabin on the ocean. We had great weather and warm water. After that I became glued to my final project for my colour class. As soon as that was over I finally had some free time, but then I found Twilight the book series. I was forced into it and did not expect in the slightest to enjoy it. I thought the first one was ho hum, but New Moon was fantastic, as were the rest. I did not expect to become addicted. It was like reading candy. And as soon as that was over I became consumed with my next final project.</div><div> </div><div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 310px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_5076.jpg" border="0" /></div><div>Last weekend, my friend Nessa, moved to Montreal.

Months were spent talking about the event. It became quite the joke to see how long it would take him to say something about his birthday each time I saw him... and I see him every other day. Laini came over from the island and wore a fabulous dress that Ness bought from a fill a bag up for $5 sale. Needless to say everyone was quite jealous of the amazing piece. I wish I had taken a full lenght shot of it, but the top will have to do.</p><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"><strong>I am going to Europe in 3 days!</strong> <span style="color:#000000;">- I need some advice/suggestions</span></span></p><p><span style="color:#000000;">I can't wait to leave. I wish I lived in Europe. Goal in life is to one day live there. I don't care where. All of it is pretty great. This will be my 4th trip over there, but the first with my family (parents, brother, and grandmother). It will definately be a different experience than what I am used to. </span></p><p>I need suggestions on things to do/places to go. I will be spending one week in London. This is where I will probably have to the most free time. I've been there a few times, but no one in my family has, so I will probably back out of some of the more touristy things aka Tower of London etc. I know there is so much cool stuff to do there, I just don't know where to start.</p><p>We are then going to spend a week in Paris and Bruges. Again both places I've been, so I'll hopefully be able to sneak away a bit. </p><p>And in the final week and a half we are going to Bath, Bristol, York, Stratford Upon Avon and hopefully Liverpool. I haven't been to any of these cities, so any reccomendations would be much appreciated. </p><p>-Ellie</p><p> </p>Elliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04334996117346920163noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891974594332098242.post-76625896027069082012009-05-13T17:54:00.000-07:002009-05-13T19:47:26.700-07:00Victorious Victoria!<img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 250px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4x799.jpg" border="0" />This is a picture of the BC legislature offices that I took in Victoria last weekend. It seemed fitting to put it up since yesterday was the BC Provincial election. Unfortunately we still have the same Premier and the referendum didn't go through. <div><br /><div>It was an interesting day yesterday. I worked the election handing out ballots and counting them at the end of the night. It ended up being a 15 hour work day. I didn't mind except that I had the worst partner in the world. She was very anti-NDP (and I am not). I don't care what party she votes for. We were supposed to be non-biased and she kept trying to engage me in a political conversation. She actually told the NDP Scrutineer how much she disliked her party!!! Not a big deal except for that fact that it's illegal! </div><div></div><br /><div>One of the first things she told me was that she doesn't believe in evolution. She's the first person that I've ever met that doesn't believe in it (or at least is open about having that belief). That's okay. I can deal with people having different opinions than me. I'm pretty easy-going. But she wouldn't shut up about it. I was actually offended. She kept talking about how she wanted to go back in time and shoot Darwin. This wasn't just one conversation either. This was the entire morning and afternoon. More than half the day. And I don't think I can really call it a conversation either since I wasn't talking. I was reading a book and she was still going on and on about it. I was afraid that if I said anything I would just explode. Finally my best friend came over with a geology text book and started giving me a lesson on the history of the world. The girl was very interested in everything Laini was saying and kept agreeing with her over and over and didn't mention evolution once. Thankfully after that she kept her mouth shut on the evolution front. But that didn't stop her from talking every single second. Sorry for the rant. Yesterday was a very long day. Hope I didn't offend anyone. </div><br /><div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 475px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/bunniesx.jpg" border="0" />Bunnies to balance out the negativity!

Apparantly there is a castle in western Canada. So Amy and I decided to check it out while Laini was in school. It was used in the movie "Little Women".<br /><br /><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/castle.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 380px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 836px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/castle.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/castle1.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 388px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 811px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/castle1.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/castle2.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 766px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/castle2.jpg" border="0" /></a> I, of course, loved all of the bows used in the architecture. <div></div></div></div>Elliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04334996117346920163noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891974594332098242.post-55627404720104960432009-05-05T17:56:00.001-07:002009-05-05T18:18:14.426-07:00Everybody's talking about...The MET Costume Gala!<br /><br /><br /><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 454px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/mkmet09.jpg" border="0" />I thought Mary-Kate looked stunning. I love her dress, it's modern yet traditional. The lace is so cute and her hair and make-up look great. A big improvement over last year. The gold dress was acceptable, but it washed her out.<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 474px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/ashleymet09.jpg" border="0" />Ashley improved over last year as well. She looks a lot more put together. I don't hate either dress, but I don't love them either. This year's white gown is really pretty, but too big for her. She looks like she's drowning in it. But she gets extra points for it being her own collection.<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 508px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/katemet09.jpg" border="0" />Kate Bosworth always looks stunning. I prefer her 2008 look much better. Actually I'm totally in love with the dress she wore last year. All those sequins and colour!!! I will take colour over black any day.<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 485px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/gg09met.jpg" border="0" />Leighton took a risk and she rocked it. I love her outfit. I can't say the same for Blake's. </p><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 517px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/rachelmet09.jpg" border="0" />I think Rachel Bilson looks so cute and adorable, but appropriate for the Costume Gala, I think not. She looks like she's going out to just any premiere. But her dress from last year was fabulous. And she rocked the bangs.<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 209px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/jessica-biel-justin-timberlake-2009.jpg" border="0" /> I don't know what it is about boys and chunky glasses, but I just swoon whenever I see one. I've always been into the Clark Kent type.

That's TWO games in two weeks.

I have to talk about the colour in the movie Pleasantville. Should be pretty easy. There were a few movies that we got to choose from and I've always liked Pleasantville. All the fluffy dresses and white picket fenses. It's funny how different people have different takes on things. I chose this movie because colour is practically it's own character, so it will be really easy to write about it. But another girl got "stuck" with it because that's all that was left after everyone else had chosen, and she was kind of upset. "How can I talk about colour in a black and white movie?"<br /><div></div><div> </div><div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 318px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 238px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/pleasantville8.jpg" border="0" /> <div></div><div></div><div>-Ellie </div></div>Elliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04334996117346920163noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891974594332098242.post-56026340299000131252009-04-27T16:06:00.000-07:002009-04-27T16:20:09.246-07:00thirty-oneApril has been a great month.

She was absolutely obsessed with all forms of idol and so we sat down every week and watched it together while drinking tea. My choice performer was <a href="http://www.myspace.com/carlyraemusic">Carly Rae Jepson</a>. Her music was my favourite, but she was also cute, funny, and had amazing style. I remember having a crush on the outfits that she wore each week.<br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div>She didn't win, but she came in third place.

The Ting Tings were great. I love the red boots that Katie wore. Her style looks so effortless and comfortable, but still unique and awesome.<br /><br /><div><div><div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4594.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 180px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4594.jpg" border="0" /></a>I had to repeat the butterfly shirt because it's not mine, so I need to get as much use out of it as I can get.

I don't know how to even begin to describe it. It was so many many things. Good, bad, crazy, boring, upsetting, entertaining, and on and on.<br /><br />Am I upset? A little bit. I feel really bad for the people who paid crazy amounts of money to be there last night. It was disrespectful. Britney performed 3 songs and then there was a little video montage and some cirque dancers and then nothing. Five minutes later some set pieces moved, but then still nothing. After 10 minutes a voice came over the PA system explaining that there was too much smoke and the show would not begin again until all the smoke had cleared. After 30 minutes, the show finally restarted and continued as normal.<br /><br />I do not for one second believe that smoke was the reason the show stopped. I am offended that that was the excuse that was used. Just because we live in Vancouver doesn't mean we are all potheads. It wasn't a pothead crowd either. Why didn't the ushers tell people to stop? Why didn't they tell us to stop right at the beginning of the blackout? The whole thing was ridiculous!<br /><br /><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4542.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4542.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div>It was incredible how the crowd was not mixed at all.

We snuck over to the other lake. I haven't been there in years. And when I say snuck, I really mean snuck my dogs in. For some reason dogs aren't allowed on the trails. <br /><br /><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4510.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4510.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4514.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 226px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4514.jpg" border="0" /></a> Blazer - Value Village; Skirt - Smartset; Shirt - H&M; Tights - Icing; Shoes - Payless; Bow - Smartset; Extentions - Ardene's<br /><br /><div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/bowpinkhair.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/bowpinkhair.jpg" border="0" /></a> The bow that started it all!

As much as I hate the idea of it, I'm really happy for him. I think he is totally suited to for that kind of lifestyle and it really is the perfect career for him. We had a really nice going away party for him this weekend. A nice dinner party for pre-drinking and then went to a local pub afterwards. It was fun.<br /><br /><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4500.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 345px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4500.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Is anyone a Twilight fan? My friend Amy is close to obsessed - which is what I love about her, lol. I'm not a fan, but she's getting me excited about reading the books. We went for a hike on Friday around one of the local lakes and guess what we found - the filming of New Moon! The one time I forget to bring my camera! We're going back for another hike on Wednesday in the same spot, so maybe we'll run into them again... And when I say "them", I don't mean any of the actors, more like lowly PAs, who block all the tweenagers from the set. I just thought it was funny that we randomly found where they are shooting when there are people actively looking for it. There's a lot of New Moon mania in town right now. </div><div></div><div>-Ellie</div>Elliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04334996117346920163noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891974594332098242.post-8238901807213716612009-03-31T23:51:00.000-07:002009-04-01T13:28:20.498-07:002+2=4I am even more excited about this Whistler Reality Show now. My friend Dhillon just reminded me that when we were in Whistler earlier this winter, there was a reality show being filmed at the club we were at. I can't believe I forgot about that. It was such an unbelievably fun night/trip.<br /><br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_3010.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 393px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_3059.jpg" border="0" /><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_3042.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_3042.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_3019.jpg" border="0" />I have a feeling that this guy is going to be one of the stars. At the time I had no idea who the cameraman was following, he seemed to be around me and my friends a lot (we were pretty much the whole club - there were 30 of us). But this guy jumps out in my memory as reality show marterial. He was crazy dancing with my friends and I all night long. He was quite entertaining. </p><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_3020.jpg" border="0" /><br />I really have no idea if the two events are related, but I am looking forward to finding out.</p><br /><br />-EllieElliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04334996117346920163noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891974594332098242.post-61700836574487529272009-03-31T18:18:00.000-07:002009-03-31T18:32:45.927-07:00Whistler Reality<a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/n521365260_77498_4630.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 280px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/n521365260_77498_4630.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/n521365260_77488_1621.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/n521365260_77488_1621.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/n521365260_77490_3248.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/n521365260_77490_3248.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/n521365260_77491_4101.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/n521365260_77491_4101.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div><div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/n521365260_77499_4910.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 341px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/n521365260_77499_4910.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/n521365260_77501_5482.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 309px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/n521365260_77501_5482.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/n521365260_93858_4898.jpg" border="0" /> <div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/n521365260_93868_8475.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 358px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/n521365260_93868_8475.jpg" border="0" /></a>I just noticed on <a href="http://perezhilton.com/2009-03-31-the-hills-on-ice">Perez Hilton</a> that they are making a TV show about a town I used to live in.

Trust me, she looked much better in person. She was also extremely nice. In fact, if she wasn't extremely nice, I wouldn't know who she was as I've never seen her before (but I do like her music). There were a few girls that were really excited to see her and one asked if she could take her picture. Jessie (oh, yes, we're on a first name basis now) was more than happy to pose and offered to get someone else to take the picture so the girl could be in it too. It was just a small thing, but it made me like her enough to put her picture up.<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4452.jpg" border="0" />You can't really tell from this picture, but Nickelback is performing.

I love him. Despite my overuse of the word "love", I love him. Especially his glasses. Would he be Dan without his glasses? Probably, but it would take some getting used to. The glasses are really where the attraction lies. He has made me a fan of "The City"/"The Hills". Without him would I watch those shows? Nope, never. My friends often make fun of me because I tend to go for the nerdy, nice guy. I never got the attraction to the bad guy. Give me some spectacles and computer skills.<br /><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 275px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/R-KAY-MAIN4.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 301px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/levysonian2.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 301px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/levysonian1.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/after-effect-main.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 282px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/DanLevy.jpg" border="0" />I have to admit, it's taken me awhile to come around to MTV Canada. At first I did not get "The Aftershow". My roommate used to be obsessed with "The Hills" and it just boggled my mind that a show exsisted to specifically talk about what happened in the previous episode.<br /><br />I wish I still worked for MTV Canada. It is awesome now. It doesn't take itself too seriously and sometimes they even talk about music (gasp!). It kind of makes me sad when I think about it. No, I don't mean sad - I mean envious! My days at MTV were fun and I loved it, but the show/channel sucked monkey balls. It was just plain bad. Nobody watched it. Nobody had even heard of it. I would have much rather worked for this new re-incarnation. But alas, nothing about it is the same. It's not filmed locally anymore which is probably the reason for it's success... And the fact that it's on basic cable now.<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 217px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4407.jpg" border="0" />And today's outfit looks like this: Shirt - DIY; Cardigan - Smart Set (guessing); Skirt - Vintage. Shoes - Payless (they have giant belt buckles on them that didn't show up). I'm thinking of adding some sequins to my skirt where the pokadots are. They are slowly but surely fading away. I bought some silver individual sequins awhile ago and haven't been sure what to do with them... until now.</p><div><div><div><div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4400.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4400.jpg" border="0" /></a> I know this looks absolutely disgusting, but it tastes amazing. I am not a chef. I am not a very good cool at all, but I am going to compliment myself on my salsa. It's darn good. Laini's recipe, but I made it spicier. My first batch wasn't nearly as good as hers (still good, just not AS good), but hopefully this time I'll be able to compete (okay, not really a competition). The judging will be held during tonight's office party*. No actual judging will take place, since no one coming over tonight has tried Laini's salsa. Okay, maybe I'm a little bit too proud of my salsa. I have my reasons. I'm not really much of a salsa person, but I absolutely love tomatoes. If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be tomatoes, hand down.</div><div></div><div>*Office Party - Not an actual party. But every week that the Office is on, a bunch of friends come over and we all watch it together. It's been a ritual for the past two years. I love it. The people who come over consistantly change and sometimes there is just two of us and other weeks there are 15. The same thing happens with Gossip Girl every Sunday. I don't really like watching TV by myself.<br /><br />I'm so excited about Sunday. The JUNOS!!! (Canadian version of the Grammys). Two of my friends bought tickets and then one of them backed out, so now I get to go instead. I've been scowering through my closet trying to find something appropriate. But nothing. I am going to have to give in and go shopping. Not exactly torture, but I've been trying to spend less.<br /></div><div>-Ellie</div></div></div></div>Elliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04334996117346920163noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891974594332098242.post-40757775619097341172009-03-25T00:04:00.001-07:002009-03-25T00:45:22.865-07:00twenty-oneI went for a really nice walk today with my dogs in the park behind my house. I'm so lucky to live where is live. My backyard is actually connected to the forest. It's so beautiful there. I'm so glad that the snow the weather is changing. Lately it's been pretty gross and yucky, so I don't get out there very often. But it's so beautiful. One of the lakes is still frozen.

It was about how horribly people with disabilities used to be treated. The play ("Imperfect") was good, but not the route I would have gone. It was interesting to learn about the old mental "schools. Although, I felt the play could have put in a bit more information. The message got kind of lost in the middle of random loud noices and moaning.<br /><br /><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4387.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 250px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4387.jpg" border="0" /></a>This is what I am currently wearing and wore to the play.

It's going to be about Lily's life in LA with her her older sister. Brittany Snow and Krysten Ritter star as the sisters - love them both... No Rufus yet. The pilot will air during the penultimate episode of this season of Gossip Girl (May 11) and then it will have it's own time slot in the fall. I'm really looking forward to seeing all of the excellent 80s wear.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4203.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 361px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4203.jpg" border="0" /></a>My friends recently found a crimper and they have been trying to get as much use out of it as possible. Getting ready was a bit of a gong show. The picture is of Laini crimping my hair, while I am curling Nessa's, as she drinks. The train actually went a bit longer since Kiri (who took the picture) was doing everyone's make-up at the same time.<br /><br /><div><div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4256.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 125px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4256.jpg" border="0" /></a> Wearing: Shirts - Nessa's 50 cent Butterfly shirt, and Joe; Skirt -Old Navy (bought specifically for 2008 St. Patrick's Day); Hat - Ardene's. I didn't start out with the Butterfly shirt on and I don't really like it with the outfit, but I was kind of forced into wearing it and how can I say no to sequins?</div><div><br /></div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 403px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/imggreen.jpg" border="0" />There were a lot of similarities between this year and last year. First of all both parties were at the homes of Beth and Nessa. Lot's of hand-made wall decorations, random crazy dancing, drinking games, and jello shots. But there were a lot of differences too. This year, everyone wore green. No hassle. Everyone was already excited about it. Last year, most of the party-goers had no idea about the holiday thus they wore a lot less green. Biggest difference would be that last year we were in Sweden, and this year Canada.</div><div></div><div></div><div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/favegreen.jpg" border="0" />These are a few of my favourite green things that people were wearing. Beth's amazing feather head piece; Nessa's technicolour dream coat and her mint stockings; Janessa's scraf from a 7-up bottle since she had no other green.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 302px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4281.jpg" border="0" />My friend kiri bought this ring in Hawaii a few days ago. She got back from Hawaii yesterday and then drove up with me to Beth and Nessa's place (4 hours away). She's a travelling machine! Actually, that was her second trip there this year. We all went in the beginning of January. I may have to go back pretty quick to get one of these rings. </div><div></div><div></div><div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4268.jpg" border="0" /></div><div>When I first arrived, I went up to Nessa's room to unload my luggage and noticed this scarf on her bed. Of course, as soon as I saw her, I had to compliment her on it. And then she revealed to me that it was actually mine. I was pretty excited about it. What a perfect day to receive it on too.</div><div></div><div></div><div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 343px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4243.jpg" border="0" /><br />- Ellie</div><div></div><div>Coming up...

Personally, I prefer the aftershow to the actual show itself. I have a huge crush on Dan Levy (it's the glasses). I wish the show had more fashion and less "non-drama". I also shovelled the drive-way because it SNOWED again. I'm so over this snow business.<br /><br /><div>FINALLY some Gossip Girl! I had my dear friends Amy and Dhillon over for the event (as we do every week). Part of the reason I missed GG so much was because I missed seeing them on a regular basis. The episode was good, but it didn't meet my too high expectations. I didn't realize the preview I had seen was for the rest of the season, so I kept waiting for a Blair breakdown that didn't really happen. But she did impress me with her wardrobe (as always)... and of course I love anything that is theatre related. </div><div></div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 393px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/blair0309.jpg" border="0" /><br />Does anyone know where else this dress was worn? I've definately seen it somewhere else, but I can't place it. Was it in another episode of Gossip Girl, or somewhere on the red carpet? If you know, please fill me in. It's just one of those things, like a song you can't quite remember. <img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 235px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/featherdress.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div>I had an excellent Saturday night.

We went to Cafe Crepe for dinner. Down town is so different than it was a year ago. There used to be only one Cafe Crepe, but now there is one on every block.</div><div><div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4100.jpg" border="0" /> <div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4104.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 388px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4104.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div>Two minutes after getting into the bar, Steph already had two guys offer to buy her drinks.

It makes me smile a lot when people like the clothes I force them to wear. We had a mini argument over him trying on this shirt when we went shopping a few weeks ago. I demanded that he try it on, even though it wasn't his size. And then he loved it. And so did everyone last night. At one point, he thought I was telling people to compliment him. </div><div><div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4179.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 261px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4179.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><br /><div>I was very impressed by Chase's attire. </div><div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/chase0309.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 255px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/chase0309.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><div><br />Ever wondered what happens at the 25 Cent Peep Show? Well, first of all, let me tell you, 25 cents it is not! Minimum purchase $5.35. False advertising? Um, yes. Very upsetting. Jen left the club because she was curious as to what was behind the black curtain and decided to cave in and cough up the $5.35. She was given several "25 Cent" tokens. The peep show was actually a video of 80s porn. Sexy. She used a few tokens and then went back to the club to see if anyone else wanted to see a show. Steph and I decided to join her behind the curtain, but before we were able to see anything, the grumpy clerk informed us that we would have to pay again. He said that the sign clearly says "No Re-entry"; there was no such sign. We were very disheartened by the whole experience.<br /><br />Despite not being able to view the Peep show, it was a very enjoyable evening.</div><div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4177.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4177.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />- Ellie</div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Elliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04334996117346920163noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891974594332098242.post-51788024050612511922009-03-13T19:28:00.000-07:002009-03-13T19:37:52.818-07:00fifteenOne of my best friends is coming into town tonight, and we are going to paint the town red eating Yam fries and playing Scrabble. Yeah, we're hard core. H-core. Check out my Ashley O inspired bow. It was a lot easier to do than I thought. Hopefully it will hold up.<br /><br /><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4074.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 196px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4074.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4082.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 212px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4082.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4065.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 341px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4065.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Currently Wearing: Shirt - Joe; Skirt - Suzy Shier; Leggings - Sirens; Belt - Mother's Closet; Earrings - Value Village<br /></div><div><div><a href="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4061.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 140px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l281/leslie-renee/IMG_4061.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div>I think these would be my favourite leggings.
