Been Through the Desert on a Horse with No Name

 

No, seriously I have … just without the horse.  I did take a picture of a donkey though.

 

In the desert, bordering Fayoum, Egypt.

 

A Smile

This makes me really happy.

 

 

We should all spend our lives dancing.

Thanks to all the great dancers at Ashby Ponds for the smile.

#FriFotos ~ My Balls

In honour of #FriFotos, the snot balls I’ve been creating all week.

 

 

Very sexy, I know.

The Sneaky Steppers Cleverly Marrying Tourism, the Arts and Education

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.

Cake for Dinner. Hot Dogs for Dessert. An April Fool’s Day Meal Inspired by Bob Blumer.

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.
