It's Tyra!!!! - ANTM All-Stars Week 2

It's week 2! Yee-haw! We're getting right into this All-Star season, aren't we? This episode we get Ty-overs, drama and a gross hotdog photo shoot. Allez-y!!

Mood Music - Spin Doctors

Hi hi y'all,

What a week! Busy, busy...lots of rain. At least it's Friday! I'm taking some vacation time from work today and next week. I'm hoping to get lots of house cleaning done, recharge my batteries and have lots of fun with my 'lil peanut.

Poor 'lil peanut is having a bad week too. He's got a lump on his head from tripping on a toy yesterday, and he's mega teething too. I took him to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live, and poor buddy was confused about why his tv pals were dancing live in front of him. Every time I tried to get him to dance, he would hug me tight. He had more fun riding the subway and eating a snack at Union Station than watching the show I think.

After his head bump and the concert and travelling all around, poor peanut had trouble falling asleep last night. He wouldn't let me or his dad put him to bed. I can normally calm him down with a little Baby Beluga action, but he wasn't buying it last night. I tried all of the kids songs I could with no luck. In desperation, I sang him a couple songs I know he likes to dance to...including Two Princes. It totally did the trick and he fell fast asleep. Thanks Spin Doctors!

XOXO,
Emily

Great Moments In Soap History - Erica Kane vs. Bear

I haven't watched All My Children for many years. I watched the show one summer during high school, but apart from that I haven't watched the show too much.

Today is the last day All My Children will air on tv (it will continue online apparently), and is the last time we will all see the fabulous Susan Lucci as Erica Kane. Susan Lucci is beyond fantastic. I hope that she finds another acting role that is just as great, and that she's in the spotlight for years to come.

I could go on and on about why Erica Kane is such a great tv character, but I think this sums it up quite well: Erica Kane is so boss that she scares away a bear just by yelling at it. Best.

Bye Bye Erica Kane!

XOXO,
Emily

Max Out Yo Credit Card - Balmain Jacket

It's gonna be another marathon night at Toronto City Hall. The Executive Committee are debating the budget, and they have decided to meet all night in order to hear all of the 300 deputants that have asked to speak about the budget. I know that politics is tedious, dahling, but I have to go and say my piece so that the city doesn't sell the zoo, or privatize all the services, or close down any daycare centres, or libraries...

So, yeah, if I'm telling the gov'ment what's what at 3 in the morning, I've got to look like I mean business, while still being as comfy as possible. Time for a fancy jumpsuit!!!

Now for a blazer that says, "Raise my taxes and that deficit will be gone in no time"...

Wedges will be comfy enough to wear all night, but still look amazing when I'm on tv yelling at the mayor.

It's Tyra!!!! - ANTM All-Stars Week 1

Whoa...you know that summer (and I guess "the party") is over when ANTM is back on the air. This season, Tyra has brought back her "All-Stars": the (so-called) fan favourites from the past 17 cycles.  Won't you join me for a little episode recap action? I promise to bring my A-game; it is All-Stars after all.

Mood Music - Feist

Hey hey hey y'all,

Hope you're enjoying the slight chill in the air that's been creeping up the last few days. It's kinda fun to wear a jacket. I've been listening to CBC Radio 2 all day for the past few weeks and they've been playing the hell out of this song. It's totally grown on me.

Happy almost weekend! Stay tuned for an ANTM recap tomorrow evening!

XOXO,
Emily

Max Out Yo Credit Card - Miu Miu Dress

That's right...it's TIFF time! Famous people come to Toronto for 3 days and we all go crazy! Will I see movies? Maybe? Will I be attending fancy parties in even fancier outfits? Hellz yeah. Tell Madonna I'll try to squeeze in her dinner thing in between parties. Kisses!

Got to make sure that I look good from all angles...with those blasted paparazzi all about...

It may rain...it may snow (it is Canada after all)...so boots are always a good call. 

The purse only needs to fit my Chanel Rouge Coco Shine and my cell. Drinks are on the studios! Cheers, fellas! Happy TIFF!

I Like You...Emma Willis

The Big Brother's Bit On The Side host is the poster girl for how to look amazing while pregnant.

Short hair, pretty makeup, super cute outfits...perfection. Cheers, lady!

I think it's awesome that she wears heels while presenting her show and running all around the set. I got a bit of shit from well-meaning folks for wearing heels pretty much up until the end of my pregnancy. If you can work heels while pregnant (and give your feet a rest now and then), go on with your fancy self. Emma looks fantastic in hers. Yay heels!

XOXO,
Emily
