Ok, I don't really have a list of 10 things. BUT, I think it looks absolutely terrible. Clearly the only things in common between the original cast and the new cast is hair colour (and the Dad, of course!). Why are they messing with something that was perfection? The only way to go is DOWNHILL.

LA Candy
I've read a crapload of books lately so I've decided to start reviewing some of them on here.
First up... LA Candy by Lauren Conrad! Yes it's true. I will point out my sister bought it, not me! lol.
The basic plot is that two young girls move to LA, but they AREN'T looking to make it big. They randomly get approached about being in a reality show, based on their lives. It focuses on the perks and disadvantages of being a relaity TV star, and of course their relationships, both with "cute guys" and each other. There are some devious co-stars making things difficult for the two main characters.
So, it's the first in a 3-part series of "teen fiction". (which has never stopped me... Harry Potter or Twilight anyone?) The bad thing about this is that the book just cuts off at the end- no closure, it'll just pick up exactly - like the sentence after- where it left off in the next book. Kind of like a two-part episode... with a much longer wait time!
But onto the story itself. Lauren isn't actually a bad writer, although her descriptions of every single character's outfit in every scene probably aren't necessary to the plot. It's actually quite interested to find out the reality of "reality", since this plot is suspiciously close to Lauren's actual life story. It's also kind of fun to guess which real-life personality the characters might be modeled after.
The verdict: Only pick this up if you plan on reading all three books in the series. It's a perfect summer read, very quick & easy to get through. If you've ever wondered about what The Hills stars lives are really like, this is a great insiders view.

Underground Catwalk
Heard about an "underground catwalk" fashion show taking place on the U-Bahn during Berlin fashion week.
Not exactly my preferred style of clothes but I love the idea. Reminds me a bit of the buskers on the subway in NYC... saw quite a variety of performances while riding the train!

Helvetica for the fans
I was clicking through a website when I discovered this poster.
A google led me to this website. I think some readers will enjoy.
(p.s. check out the film clips)

Time to vent...
So, this is the part where my readers learn a bit more about me...! (in a personal kinda way lol)
I asked my family doctor to refer me to the surgeon who did my sister's breast reduction... I get a call this morning saying I can't even get a consultation with him unless I agree to pay $2100 out of pocket for "elective" liposuction around the area in conjunction with a reduction. Does anyone know how something can be considered "elective" when you're forced into it? And yes, you read that right... he has never seen me.
Now I'm likely going to have to go with an unknown surgeon who might not be as good. Cause I sure as hell can't afford that kind of money!!
Rant over.

when I thought my body couldn't fall apart more...
did you know such a thing exists as eye strain?
It's true. From working your eyes extra hard. So, while my blog is much more in blogged this month... my eyes have been a-straining.
"Eyestrain occurs when your eyes get tired from intense use, such as driving a car for extended periods, reading or working at the computer. "
Umm... how do you rest your eyes while doing three courses... ONLINE no less.
Happy Canada Day!
