In honour of #FriFotos, the snot balls I’ve been creating all week.
Very sexy, I know.
Time to Get the Sunscreen Out
April 5, 2012 By 2 Comments
It may be Spring, but this is the worst sunburn I've ever had.
Not quite sure how this happened from typing away on the roof, but it did and as a result, I’ll be tenderly sitting down all weekend.
It may still be early Spring in Canada, but it is clearly time to crack out the sunscreen. The sun is strong out there and there’s nothing sexy about a sunburn (even on me).
The Sneaky Steppers Cleverly Marrying Tourism, the Arts and Education
April 3, 2012 By Leave a Comment
I have always loved flashmobs. They’re fun and they make me smile, but I have to say this one that I found online from St. Patrick’s Day 2011 is an incredibly clever piece of Transmedia Marketing between the arts and tourism.
It was funded by Tourism Ireland, yet at Central Station in Sydney, Australia to gain attention for Riverdance in Australia. To make this even cooler the members of Riverdance worked with local Australian school children to put this dance together, and it was all organized and coordinated by the Sneaky Steppers, who I recently saw at Hamilton Place with the Hamilton Philharmonic and Cherish the Ladies. Love this sort of collaboration for both the arts and positive, fun marketing.
Blah!

Seeing as it’s April Fools Day, I thought I’d share a few fun pics of concoctions of one of Brie’s and my favourite chefs, Bob Blumer, just to fire up the synapses on how you can have a bit of fun with your dinner guests this evening.

I’d try to concoct an April Fool’s Day dish and recipe of my own to share with all of you, but I’m still curled up in bed with the cat, a foggy brain and the Spring Flu.
