Group Sex at the Gym

Imagine this:

a dozen sweaty scantily clad chicks grunting, riding and squeezing the life out of an exercise ball.

Yes, half way through our Abs, Butt and Thighs class the instructor said 'Ok everyone, straddle the ball, feet back, now SQUEEEEEEEEZE....'

and boy did we ride the hell out of those balls.

and of course in our typical childish fashion...we giggled the whole time.

and of course it would be Kitty who would point to this other chick in our class and say, 'she's riding a huuuuuuuuuuge one'.

Sigh..girls ;)

I Have Boot Issues

No, this is not about my hooker boots.

This post is about the million of boots I have looked at, touched and tried on. Every shoe store must have at least 50 different pairs..all same but different. My goal is to find the ULTIMATE comfy yet chic boot that I can wear daily. In Wintergirl-Land, that means rubber soles, moderate chunky heel or wedge, mid-calf to calf, and black leather. It should be casual yet not clunky. Doesn't sound so hard right?

Things holding me back:

1. It seems to be suede season. Every bloody damn nice looking boot only comes in suede. Hello impracticality.
2. Seems this textured chunky rubber sole is in and not the normal discreet rubber sole. I don't need to look like I stole boots from the WWF.
3. Comes only in brown leather.
4. "Sorry, we are sold out in your size." Nevermind that it's mid-September and the sun is still beating down on us.
5. That will be arm and leg please, would that be on Mastercard or Visa?

Ok finally after buying and returning 2 pairs of boots...I found this odd-looking pair. I was sold after finding it more comfortable than anything I've tried on. Finally, (hopefully) my boot hunt is over.

I Have Hooker Boots

Many times I have cleaned out my closet and successfully thown stuff out. However, there are times when I can't bear to part with certain items because either I've paid alot for them and ended up only wearing them a few times (due to impracticality) or I've worn and loved them tons but had to put them aside because of changing trends.

Who the heck would have thought the 80's/90's would come back?

Hmmm, let's see what's in this fall and what I yanked back out of my closet..

Tights - check
Vests - check, check (One mohair Aritzia vest I really had to snatch back from the pile that was destined for charity..my mom must have kept the vest thinking she could wear it someday)
Over-the-knee hooker boots - check

Yes, it seems that when I was 17, I had the urge to buy a pair of slutty boots that I've probably worn only a few times. Well, Baby, it's time for me to bring these suckers out.

Skoah Now Open at Metro

Got this in the mail today: (I'll probably go and grab the 10$ G/C) ;)

Metropolis at Metrotown, peepers and pout and personal training for your skin east of the rockies...
Skoah metropolis is now open. Come visit our new location (next to lululemon) on Thursday, September 28th from 3pm until 9pm to help us celebrate. Bring a friend, get a treat (a $10 gift certificate to redeem in our new store), and check out personal training for your skin - Metropolis style.

Next up, a new menu with a two exciting additions: ‘face, peepers and pout’ and ‘the fitskin 4’ - to ensure your personal training sessions are that much easier.

Finally, this October, Calgary’s Chinook Centre opens to a bated-breath crowd of existing online shoppers whose ongoing quest for hydrated skin and skoah facials can now be fulfilled without the plane ride.

Hope to see you on the 28th! And if you visit us before, we may have another surprise in-store for you.

Daily Fashion Fix


Ankle boots are 'in' this fall season. How do they suggest you wear them? ...with tights and a mini. Now I don't know about you...but I don't need extra help in making my legs look more sausage-like than they already do. Still I love these boots from Dolce Vita because they are simple but has these cute ties in the back. Now where in Vancouver are these boots carried?

A Joke for Humpday

Why doesn't Barbie get pregnant? (Highlight below for answer.)

Because Ken comes in another box.

What the heck is Humpday anyway? Let me look it up...brb....

er...

hump day - The middle of a work week (Wednesday); used in the context of climbing a proverbial hill to get through a tough week.

And here I was thinking...oh nevermind. ;)

A Cry For Help

Help.

Help me.

And No, I didn't go to the mall by myself to buy more stuff instead of hanging out at my friend's place.

And, gasp, where did this shopping bag come from? Who left it here? And look, a jacket, cashmere sweater, blouse, and tee inside.

Finders keepers.
