Damn Tyler Ingram – He Scooped One of Van City’s Hidden Cameras

December 19, 2008 By 17 Comments

Was just about to post challenge to all you Van City kids to beat Tyler Ingram to the punch on finding the code to win one of the two remaining hidden cameras in Van City’s F List Scavenger Hunt. as rumor had it he had a lead on one of the cameras, but the brat just found it and destroyed my blog post.  Clearly this was intentional.  Tyler – don’t worry this can be made up to me by giving me a Fujifilm FinePix S100fs digital camera worth $699.99 for Christmas.

For those of you that are thinking that aren’t I the high maintenance pre-Madona this morning – well no.  Just insanely jealous of Tyler as the boy just won a Fujifilm FinePix S100fs digital camera worth $699.99 in the F List Scavenger Hunt. The camera in question features an all-in-one lens (1cm to 400mm telephoto), bracketing functions, titing LCD and the ability to shoot movies.  Would have been perfect for some of the photo shoots that Lola, Kittyn and I had planned for the New Year. Damn Tyler!

No worries, though there are still two more of the camera in question up for grab in the F Lists Scavenger Hunts – one in Vancouver and one in Toronto.  I only mention this to you, as I’m currently in Toronto, so figure I’ll go after that one (and based on the weather outside, I have a bit of time to decipher the clues) and I want one of the rest of you to find the second camera before that darn Tyler gets his hot little hands on both of them.

So here’s the dirt on how to outsmart Tyler – go to the F List Scavenger Hunt, sign-up for the F List (don’t worry this is quick & painless & nobody seems to be sending me any unwanted junk mail from it), and get the clues.  Finally, and here is the easy part, beat Tyler to the punch on the finding the last Van City hidden camera.  Just remember, the Toronto camera is mine, so if you know what’s good for you steer clear.  I do after all bite and hard (Tyler be warned).

PS Just got a special login for you from the Get on the F List campaign that gives you a secret code that makes you eligible to win their Fujifilm Finepix J100 camera instantly, if used when signing up for the F List, so best to sign-up this way.

Holiday Tip #2: Get Help

December 18, 2008 By 4 Comments

No – I am not suggesting medical attention or the men in white jackets (well at least not for all of you).  What I am suggesting here is that you take advantage of all the holiday promos that are out there to make the final days of holiday shopping more bearable and less stressful.  I’m done my holiday shopping, but got dragged into a mall by my sister this past weekend and trust me you don’t want to go there and if you do, you want to make it a quick and dirty affair.  Thankfully Bella was quick, so her life was spared prior to full meltdown on my part.

@GetontheFlist tweeted me about such a ‘holiday helper’. ‘Get on the F List‘ is a campaign being put on by Fujifilm Canada to inspire better gift giving, rather than the mad dash of ‘damn it’s the night before and I don’t want to spend the next year in the dog house’.  As a part of this, their site has a simple 5-step Gift Finder to help you brainstorm shopping ideas for the people on your list. What I personally like about this campaign and gift finder is that whilst they do suggest a variety of fuji cameras for the people on your list, they also give you a variety of non-camera, non-fuji suggestions.  In addition, they offer a blog with gift advice from 31 Toronto and Vancouver retailers.

Another gift buying suggestion for those of you in Vancouver this weekend is that the Women’s Winter Faire is back Saturday & Sunday, December 20th & 21st at Heritage Hall on 3102 Main St (by the corner of 15th) from 11 am – 6 pm.  Sad that I am not in Vancouver this weekend as my favourite new Vancouver designers, mother- daughter duo, Jen Hong and Morgan of Salty Bean are going to be there selling their salty critters and critter ware.  Really didn’t get enough critter chains from them at the last fair and should have bought a doll or outfit for my new niece.  Damn Raul for distracting me.  Oh and if it is anything like the last fair there will be lots of other great finds for your naughty and nice lists.  A couple of pics below from Raul’s and my November adventure there!

Oh and if anyone else has any other last minute shopping suggestions, please fire us a note.

Why It’s Dangerous to Mix Wine, Cameras, and Great Clothes!

October 19, 2008 By 11 Comments

Word to the wise – this is why it is dangerous to mix wine and a trip down memory lane to the days of dressing up with your gal pals – at least it is when you associate with dangerous camera stalkers like Lola May!!!!  Oh and Jenni – don’t think you are getting away scott free – your wardrobe is partially to blame!

It start off innocently, just with a few profanities …

Despite now having full on blackmail materials posted all over flickr by Lola May and the scandulous suggestions of orgasms and orgies on twitter by Miss Kittyn for all the world to see (clearly I am the innocent one in the group), I must say I can’t say I have spent a more hilarious evening of shananigans and debauchery in ages.  Well at least not since Tim left town or the olden days when the original Breakfast Included was alive and well. Have a nagging feeling that those weren’t the only photos Lola took though.  Guess I’ll have to stay tuned to her flickr, so that at the very least I know what I should be embarrassed about or guilty of.
