UPDATE PT 1.

2009-12-04T20:10:00.000-08:00

This is an extremely overdue post.

Here are a few personal things about my life that have transpired over the past few months, in order.

1) Halloween.
Spent the night getting trashed on Church Street.
It was spectacular.I mean, what's Halloween without Joan Crawford, Sparklers, Lady Gaga's, lusty Homosexual kissing, Projectile vomit, and Frank the Bunny?

2)Received my first letter from my pen pal.
Her name is Magda and she's from Poland. She's so sweet.
3) I interviewed Kingi Carpenter, the owner of Peach Berserk in downtown Toronto. First major one-on-one interview. Terribly nervous. You can see it here.

4)My dear Father proposed marriage to his girlfriend of a few years. Looks like we'll be moving. I'm ecstatic.

We should boycott women who don't cry.

I wish I could be Anna Karina in Une Femme est Une Femme.

Hot Mess

This cover looks SOOOO photoshopped, it's not even funny. Only My Marion looks good :(

You and me could write a bad romance.

2009-10-16T19:47:00.000-07:00

Oh Alexander McQueen, you are a golden god.

His new collection is oh so sexy.

These shoes are killer

Look-a-like of the week.

2009-10-16T19:42:00.000-07:00

Has anyone else noticed that Chris Colfer, who plays Kurt Hummel on the T.V show Glee looks exactly like Tavi Gevinson, the child fashion prodigy blogger?

I don't know about you, but I think so..

Cherbourg.

2009-09-29T16:24:00.000-07:00

The clothes in Umbrellas Of Cherbourg are fantastic.
It makes me sad to see that people don't dress like this anymore.

Yowza.

Sass and Bide, Spring 2010

Top 5 for 2010

2009-09-26T16:23:00.000-07:00

This here is my list for the Top 5 Collections for 2010.

It's going to be a helluva year in the Fashion Industry.

5) Erin Fetherston, Spring 2010 RTW
I've loved her ever since her Wandering Stars collection in Fall '07. I'm really loving the mix of muted beige tones and stark white accents in this collection. I hope to see more from this lovely lady.

5) 3.1 Philip Lim, Resort 2010
Oh the things this man can do with fabric and a sewing machine. I've always loved the clean-cut and simple lines he uses in his collections. I really like the minimalism in this collection. Plus, anything lace is an automatic win with me.

3) Luella, Spring 2010 RTW
I LOVE this collection. The silhouette that's created in this collection. The dresses are a complete turnaround from this fall's collection. I want this collection in my closet. Now.

2)Stella McCartney, Resort 2010
STTEEEELLLAAAAAAAAAA!! Anything this woman touches turns to gold. This collection is one of my favorites from her. I can't even explain it, I just love everything about it.

1) Chanel, Resort 2010

Oh, Karl. You outdo yourself every season. Every single outfit from this collection makes me drool. I'm loving the throwback so much. And those capes? Where can I get me some of those?! Bravo, Monsieur, bravo.

Red Carpet.

I find this so funny because it's true.

The new season is shaping up to be incredibly good.
Next week is the tenth episode.
It's bound to be explosive.
I just finished the sixth book, which was alright.
I don't know about you, but i'm awaiting the arrival of the fourth season.
Hello, Team Eric.

I love stop-motion animation

The Boat That Rocked.

2009-08-15T08:34:00.000-07:00

Oh my, I am in love with this movie. I finally watched it online the other day, and I was still smiling after the credits. This is the type of movie that makes me love British cinema. I love this decade in music. The cast was great, and I strangely have a tiny crush on dear Philip Seymour Hoffman. Tom Sturridge was marvelously handsome, as always. He just might be more good-looking that Pattinson, don't you think? I really love what Richard Curtis does with movies. He makes you want to be in the movie and befriend the characters. At least, that's what I wanted to do whilst watching this. Plus, my Rhys Darby was in it. (Holla, Murray from FOTC) Every scene was just as briliant and funny as the last. Nothing was lacking. Every character fit together perfectly like a puzzle. Oh, and the soundtrack is magnificent. This is definitely a movie I would recommend to anyone.

I've been waiting to post this for ages.

2009-08-11T16:40:00.000-07:00

My two loves in their own Music Video.
I love them.
The movie was wonderful, by the way.

In a honky tonk, down in Mexico.

2009-08-01T18:36:00.000-07:00

My love, Paolo Nutini was in Toronto the other week to promote his record, Sunny Side Up at Indigo at Bay and Bloor. He also did a concert later on that night, but unfortunately, I did not buy the tickets in time.. :(

Anyways, I dragged my friend along to the performance and we got into the "signing line", which was really a large area of space cut off my velvet ropes. We were standing right behind the people in seats, so we weren't far away from the little makeshift stage. Seeing him perform live was amazing. Better than I'd expected. He played about 3 or 4 songs off his new record and then did a fantastic cover of The Coaster's 'Down in Mexico'. We didn't stay for the signing because we had to attend this thing in High Park for our friend, so we left after his performance.
All in all, it was a wonderful day.
:D
Here is a video I took.

Here is Paolo performing Down in Mexico at another gig.
My, he has pipes.

We are golden.

2009-07-29T19:50:00.000-07:00

I've loved Mika ever since his first album came out. His voice is so beautiful. This is the latest video off his new album. I'm so excited for it! :D

LOVE.

2009-07-29T13:51:00.000-07:00

1) I love Johnathan Ross and his little lisp.
2) I plan on becoming Vivienne Westwood in the next life.

Repo!

2009-07-28T19:38:00.000-07:00

After weeks of my brother's constant nagging to watch this movie, I finally sat down and watched it. Here is the synopsis of the film:

In the year 2056 - the not so distant future - an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants, for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous Repo Men. In a world where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for the cure to her own rare disease as well as information about her family's mysterious history. After being sucked into the haunting world of GeneCo, she is unable to turn back, as all of her questions will be answered at the wildly anticipated spectacular event: The Genetic Opera.

Overall, I actually enjoyed the film a tiny bit. It was so bad that it was good. First of all, Paris Hilton served as one of the supporting actors. We all know every movie that she cameos in is an ultimate box office winner right? It was blatantly violent and humorous at the same time. The music was actually pretty well orchestrated by the creators, which was a plus.The storyline is actually pretty good when you really look at it. I'm not into that whole Sci-Fi phenomenon, but I kind of liked this. The whole thing that threw me off was Paris Hilton starring in it. In my opinion, if she wasn't in it, it would be so much better. Here are a few songs that I really liked and enjoyed:
These bring the LOL's

This has to be the funniest scene in the movie

And here is the trailer, for anyone interested.

Oh Lily.

2009-07-27T18:24:00.000-07:00

This has to be one of my favorites off It's Not Me, It's You.

Who wears it best?

2009-07-27T13:39:00.000-07:00

Hmm, it seems that the Agent Provocateur body is indeed making rounds among Celebrities.

To be honest, I quite like it.
I would totally wear this suit out, but go with the Lily Allen ensemble.
We don't want to be revealing too much skin, do we?

In my opinion, Daisy Lowe wears it best, just because I love her.

French men do it waaaaaay better than you. (Photo + Video Evidence)

2009-07-23T15:25:00.001-07:00

There's something about French men. I don't know what it is, but I am always drawn to their looks, accents, even style. Forget about all you know about Spanish, Italian, even Australian men. This post is dedicated to French men. My top 5 French male actors, to be exact.

5) Vincent CasselVincent Cassel has it all. The looks, the acting chops, and the beautiful Wife, Monica Bellucci. (I find them two incredibly cute together). He's famous in North America for his roles in Eastern Promises and Ocean's Twelve. He's been nominated for countless awards overseas and even won the Cesar award for best actor in 2008. I find his rugged exterior and baby blues irresistible.
Funniest scene from Ocean's Twelve. My, he is flexible.

4) Romain DurisI first saw Romain Duris in the French movie L'Auberge Espangnole as Xavier, a foreign exchange student, and then in the follow-up sequel, Les Poupees Rousses. He can play fairly good comedic roles as I saw from the two movies. In Dans Paris however, he was awesome as the suicidal brother of Louis Garrel(more on him later), Paul. Dans Paris was directed by one of my favorite directors, Christophe Honore, who directed such movies as Les Chansons D'amour and Ma Mere.
Here is a clip from Dans Paris. I wish men would sing quietly over the phone to me..

3) Gaspard UllielThis man has the sharpest Jawline I have ever seen. And I like Jawlines. He proves that he can play any role, as we've seen from his movies. From playing a young psychotic Hannibal Lecter to a wounded soldier in WWI trying to get back to his beloved. He's also gotten recognition for his acting in the form of both nominations and awards presented to him at the Cesar awards. I was so excited when word broke out that him and my other love, Louis Garrel might be starring in a film together soon. Word has it that movie screens around the world might explode from the sheer beauty of these two actors sharing the same screen together.
Here he is in the fantastic movie, Paris Je T'aime.

2)Louis GarrelOh man, I love him and his beautifully sculpted face. I first saw him in Bernardo Bertolucci's The Dreamers as Theo. Such a good movie. Since then, I've been following his career and watching his movies along the way. Louis and Christophe Honore are the French Johnny Depp and Tim Burton. They've worked on 4 films together so far. My all-time favorite role that he played was Ismael in the musical Les Chansons d'amour. I hope to see more collaborations between Louis and Christophe in the near future! Like Gaspard Ulliel, Louis recieved a Cesar for Most Promising Actor. He's married to the French First Lady Carla Bruni's sister, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi and they recently adopted a African baby girl.
Here is a clip of Les Chansons d'amour.

1) Guillaume Canet This man will always be first in my books. Ever since I saw him in Jeux D'enfants, I fell in love with this smiley-eyed gentleman. He has just the right amount of sex appeal and talent that makes him fascinatingly sexy to me. I'm so happy when I see pictures of him and his girlfriend, Marion Cotillard. I thought they were so adorable together in Jeux D'enfants and the will continue to be as cute in their new movie together that should be released soon. Like the rest on this list, Guillaume also won awards at the Cesars. He won Best Actor, which was a great accomplishment, and also won Best Director for his film Ne le dis a Personne. He was also in Ensemble C'est Tout with the goddess Audrey Tatou, where he played a frustrated Chef. The movie was based on a novel by Anna Gavalda. It was tranlated into English and given the title Hunting and Gathering. There is only one copy left in like, all of Toronto at the World's Biggest Bookstore. I look forward to buying the book soon and seeing all my French men blossom into sexy megastars.
Here is a scene from Jeux D'enfants. So lovely.

You're my Playground Love.

2009-07-23T14:22:00.000-07:00

I love this version of Playground Love. Ever since I watched The Virgin Suicides, I've had a little thing for the French duo Air and their music. The band Pheonix does a great job covering the song. They had a cameo in Marie Antoinette, which is one of the most aesthetically pleasing movies that I have ever seen. Sofia Coppola, hats off to you. Pheonix is from the little region in France called Versailles, which is also known as my future home. When I was on my trip to Spain and France, I bought a gold septum ring at this very grungy but clean Tattoo place for about 12 Euros. Not bad.

Kelly Osbourne, you are one lucky woman.

Luke Worrall is the new Male Model i'm going GAGA for.

He is the opposite of the usual Dolce and Gabanna tanned buff model.

Ugh, they're so cute together.

First Loves Part 2

2009-07-22T18:02:00.000-07:00

This is a continuation from my previous post. Like the last one, this is counting UPwards from 6-10.

6) William Miller-Almost FamousIf I were a little lass living in the 70s era America, this would have definitely been my significant other. I love the shyness and innocence of Patrick Fugit's character. His hair is also an obvious plus. Whenever I'm bored on a Sunday afternoon, I usually pop this movie in and imagine I'm living in that majestic time.
This scene is one of the greatest in the history of film, in my opinion.

7) Jake Ryan-Sixteen Candles
I was so excited when I got this movie as a present for one of my Birthdays many years back. I was so excited because I could watch it over and over again whilst marveling at Michael Schoeffling. Sixteen Candles was brought to us by the great mind of John Hughes, the master of Teenage Comedies. It's sad that Michael Schoeffling only did one big budget movie after this, and that was Mermaids, one of my favorites coincidentally.

8) The whole Cast of Trainspotting
This movie is one of my all-time favorites. I'm still waiting for the sequel, Danny Boyle! Every actor in this movie wins my heart every time I watch it. It's one of those movies where you're rooting for the main character to get it together, which I love. I've got to say, I love Ewan McGregor as a unhealthy heroin addict.

9) Robbie Turner-Atonement
(*HERE BE SPOILERS*)
Everything James McAvoy touches turns to gold. Seriously. When I first read the book, I was quite distracted, so I didn't really get that both Robbie and Cecilia died without seeing each other again, so I went into the movie thinking all ended well. I was terribly surprised when the ending was revealed to the audience. I sat there like an idiot, dumbfounded at what happened and bawling my eyes out. James McAvoy was brilliant in this role. He is one of the next great actors, i'm predicting. This movie is truly heartbreaking for the romantic type. Be sure to have a box of tissues at the ready when you watch it!
Since almost every video can't be embedded on youtube, here are the clips.

10) Jude Feeny-Across The UniverseAlas, no good movie list would be complete without the good ol' Musical. This perticular musical stands out because 1) Jim Sturgess, a god in my eyes plays the main character, and 2) It's based around the music of the Beatles, who are my life. It's a major plus that he can actually sing too.

Honorable Mentions
Russel Hammond-Almost Famous
Jonathan/Ismael Benoliel-Dans Paris, Les Chansons L'Amour
Julien Janvier-Jeux D'Enfants

Ian Curtis-Control
Matthew Kidman-The Girl Next Door

This is, by far, the best advert I have ever seen. It's directed by the same director who did the promo video for season one of the British show, Skins(Post dedicated to that coming up soon!). If you've seen it, you can tell right away that it was done by him. Plus, James McAvoy is the voice in the ad. His voice is like angelic music to my ears. My lord, if I could marry any Scotsman, it would be that man. I've loved him ever since he was in Shameless, which was a decent show. Haven't gotten that much into it though...

Here is the promo for Skins season one for anyone who's interested.
None of the videos can be embed, so here's the link for the video.

WANTED

2009-07-18T11:36:00.001-07:00

Ugh, I hate Beyonce...

I am in a desperate search for a new pair of sunglasses, considering I break a pair every week and I'm only left with two. These oversized Wayfarers look large enough to cover my massive cheeks, which is a good thing. If only I could find them for a reasonable price. Unfortunately, I'll probably be stuck heading down to Kensington Market for a 5 dollar pair. Oh well, the sunglasses in Kensington are always so sexy anyways.

When I first laid eyes on you, I felt a flash of déjà vu.

2009-07-17T11:58:00.000-07:00

Since it's a lovely day outside and I'm feeling a tad bit nostalgic, I've decided to create a post dedicated to my first loves. Counting UPwards from 1-5, here they are:

1) Danny Zuko-Grease
This man was truly my first love. That hair, those eyes, that jacket, come on! According to family legend, I've watched this movie over twenty-five times. Now, I have no recollection of this, but it can't be a coincidence that I magically know every line in this movie.

2) Wade "Cry Baby Walker-Cry Baby
Oh, who didn't love this magical being growing up? I remember I would always watch this movie when it was on Muchmore music, which was alot. As I said before, Mr. Depp only gets better with age. This is part of the reason he has come in 2nd place.

3) Romeo Montague- Romeo + JulietOh Leo Leo Leo. I'm always a sucker for the romantic boys. Leonardo Dicaprio played the role of Romeo beautifully. He's the perfect image of the blond, blue-eyed fellow, which I adore. Plus, I love what Baz Luhrmann did with this version of the adaptation.

4) Trip Fontaine-The Virgin Suicides
First off, I love this movie and Sofia Coppola. Even though Josh Hartnett is in like, 2/5ths of the entire movie, he captures the audience in every scene he is in. Every time I hear Magic Man, I think of this boy.

5) Alex DeLarge-A Clockwork OrangeI was so afraid of this movie as a child. Every time my parents would watch it, they would force me to watch it also. It wasn't till I was older that I realized how good the movie actually was, and also how sexy that Brit Malcolm MacDowell is.

Stay Tuned for Part 2! :D

Movie Time.

2009-07-16T21:35:00.000-07:00

I first read The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffeneger about 2 years ago and fell in love with it. The novel centers around Henry DeTamble, a librarian who has a genetic disorder that causes him to involuntary time travel, and his wife, Claire Abshire, whom he meets throughout different times in her life as he travels. The novel is a bittersweet mix of sadness and romance that grabs you from the first chapter.
The novel has been made into a movie starring Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams.
I hope that they don't change too much of the book for the movie.
From the trailer, it looks pretty good, except that the book was alot more dark, and not as "chick flick" as they're making it out to be...
Plus, Eric Bana is so sexy and rugged.

Bring tea for the tillerman, Steak for the son.

2009-07-16T21:06:00.000-07:00

Extras, in my opinion, was one of the most hilarious shows that graced our television screens. It had great writing, acting, and cameo appearances. Every episode featured an established actor who would perform and act out a parody of themself. Unfortunately, like most great shows, Extras was canceled in it's prime second season. However, I have the entire series on DVD, so I can re-watch my favorite episodes over and over again.
These are two of my favorite scenes throughout the series:

Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais are geniuses.

Diversity at its best.

2009-07-16T20:09:00.000-07:00

I forgot to mention that I attended the annual Pride Parade a few weeks ago with some friends.

I've missed it two years in a row, so there was no way I was missing this one.
Here are the highlights:

Emmys.

2009-07-16T17:37:00.000-07:00

The Emmy Nominations were released today.

Once again, 30 Rock was nominated in almost every category, the usual drama series were nominated, etc.
I literally squealed in my chair when I read that Flight of the Conchords was nominated for Best Comedy Series and Jermaine Clement was nominated for Lead Actor. That's how excited I was.
I've been following this show almost since the beginning.
I don't have enough time to create an entire post dedicated to the show right now, but it'll be posted soon. :D

The eerily attractive Jermaine Clement.

I wanna do bad things with you.

2009-07-16T16:21:00.000-07:00

Has anyone else jumped on the True Blood bandwagon yet?
I know I have.
Me and my friend Teresa accomplished watching the whole first season in two days.
The second season is just getting better and better.
I also purchased the first book in the series, which was published in 2001, FOUR YEARS BEFORE TWILIGHT CAME OUT. Take that, Stephanie Meyer!
The series was developed by Alan Ball, the genius behind Six Feet Under, one of my favorite shows ever created.
Although I have a slight distaste for Anna Paquin, I feel that no other actress can play the role of the telepathic Sookie.
Stephen Moyer plays a sexy and brooding vampire. Edward Cullen, eat your heart out. His real-life relationship with Anna Paquin certainly does help with their steamy scenes, which there are alot of. Nelsan Ellis plays the wonderfully delicious Lafayette Reynolds. He steals almost every scene that he's in.
I didn't like Sam Trammel, who plays Sam, at first. But after seeing his character develop over the season, I've come to like him. I love that salt-and-pepper hair also.
I don't quite much care for Rutina Wesley. She was slightly likable as Tara in the first season, but in this season, she is a tad bit boring. Plus, she's oblivious...
Oh me oh my. I have loved Ryan Kwanten ever since he was on Summerland with Lori Loughlin. He is perfect as Jason Stackhouse in this series. Not to mention, tremendously sexy.
This man just exudes sexy. His hair looks much better this season, and he has much more screen time, which is lovely.Jessica is starting to become one of my favorite characters this season. She started off a tad bit annoying, but you couldn't blame her. I'm so happy for her and her newfound relationship with Hoyt.
This is one of my favorite moments from season two, hands down:
I love this show. I very much recommend it to any of you.

There are no words to express how excited I am for this movie.

(500) Days of Summer stars my two favorite stars Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon Levitt. I adore these two actors ever since they starred together in Manic. She is the classic beauty that I adore and he is the suave Heath Ledger look-a-like that makes my knees weak.
They both have a sense of humor also.

2009-07-15T18:54:00.000-07:00

A few friends and I attended the Harry Potter movie marathon at Scotiabank Theatre downtown. My what a feat we accomplished. 5 movies all in one day.
We were there for a total of about 14 hours.
We were first in line, which isn't a thing to be proud of, considering that the lineup was fairly small.
All in all, it was a fantastic experience.
I am so excited for the new film.
All hail Harry Potter!

My my, how we have changed...

I managed to see Public Enemies with my brother's girlfriend(who is a self-professed Depp #1 fan) the other night. Overall, the movie was really good, except for the camera that was used. Most of the time, it was too shaky and hard to concentrate on the film. Hello, this isn't the Cloverfield sequel! The acting was quite good and believable. Johnny Depp can do no wrong. I love Marion Cotillard, but it was hard to see her try to hide her accent so much. Even though the ending was a bit historically inaccurate, it was still a pretty good film.

Watching this film made me come to the conclusion that Johnny Depp just gets better with age.

She was magnificent.

Keisha, Jono, Teresa and I(Canary sweater) in line.

Although the line up was ridiculous and the people were extremely rude, all in all it was a beautiful concert. We were pretty close to the stage, which guaranteed us good pictures. The only downfall was that there was no opening act, just a dj playing top 40 for about an hour. Also, she was almost 40 minutes late performing. It was pretty annoying waiting for that long in a crowd of sweaty teenagers, but when she came out, it was totally worth it waiting that long.

Guess who i'm seeing in concert tomorrow?

GGGGGAAAAAAGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
I'm actually quite excited, considering I don't like her that much.
I do believe that she does have real talent, which is hard to find in Hollywood these days.

I love this bitch's style.

The things this man does with a video camera and celebrities are amazingly sexy. I'm so excited to see his upcoming photoshoots featuring Kelli Garner and Evan Rachel Wood.

Say hello to White Lies, my newest beloved.
They're a fairly new band from England.
If you're into Joy Division, then this band is for you.
Harry McVeigh is marvelous as the lead vocal.
His voice just oozes Ian Curtis.

This are the songs that remind me of summer.
Sweet, sweet summer.

This is the summer before College/(Hopefully) University. It has to be monumental.
I'll expect nothing less.

Videos

2009-04-19T17:24:00.000-07:00

These are a few videos that I have created.

This first one was made to commemorate my friend Teresa's 17th birthday party. Music is set to The Gossip's Standing in the Way of Control.

This one is just a mash-up of all the close people in my life. It's sort of a Friends oriented video. Music is Someday by the Strokes.

This next video was made at a Korean Restaurant on Bathurst and Bloor. People in the video are my brother, Teresa, yet again, and I.

This is a new one created a few days ago.
This is the culmination of my fall and winter 2009.

I LOVE this bitch.

Procrastination at its best.

This is my current obsession.

Say hello to Bon Iver.

I found out about him in an article from Spin Magazine's Big in '09 issue.

"Bon Iver is the name of American indie-folk singer songwriter Justin Vernon's current band and most notable music project to date. While in high school and college, Vernon founded the band DeYarmond Edison with Brad and Phil Cook, and Joe Westerlund in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. After a long period of success in the Eau Claire music scene, the four band mates decided to leave their longtime home and move to North Carolina to try their musical hand in a new place. The band released two records themselves, the first self-titled and the second titled Silent Signs and an EP of unreleased material is available on their Myspace page. After nearly a year in Raleigh, Vernon left for Wisconsin after a breakup with the band and a girlfriend. The remaining members of DeYarmond Edison went on to form a new band called Megafaun and remain good friends with Vernon. After the breakup of a band, relationship, and bout with sickness (mononucleosis of the liver) Vernon left Raleigh and moved back to Wisconsin spending three months in his father's cabin in the woods of northern Wisconsin. Vernon did not intend to write or record any music during the time but rather to recuperate from the events of the previous year. Eventually a record began to evolve during this cathartic time of isolation. Vernon played all the instruments during recording and each song was heavily edited with a large number of overdubs. Vernon wrote most of the lyrics for the album by recording a word-less melody and listening to the recording over and over and writing words according to the sound of the syllables of the melody. The record was almost not released and was originally intended as a group of demos to be sent out to labels and potentially rerecorded. But after getting very encouraging reactions from a number of his friends, Vernon decided to release the songs himself in their present state. After significant positive reception, helped by word of mouth and its popularity throughout the blogosphere, Vernon decided to sign to the indie label Jagjuwar which subsequently gave the album a proper release. Vernon has said that he will continue to make albums without engineers and producers because he is capable of doing it all himself."

When you listen to his music , you can actually hear the pain in his voice.
It's so beautiful.

Have you SEEN these babies?!

Well this is a first. Marvelous. I'm not sure what exactly to write. My life lacks in the excitement department.
