Roundup 03.05

  

This was a totally boring pretty quiet week because I am mostly just doing my homework and freelance writing. So all else has pretty much fallen to the wayside. It's a hard knock life. Luckily I am escaping this weekend to go to the Rock a Skin launch party tonight at the Tattoo Rock Parlour, the York U pow wow tomorrow and to Kinnie Starr's concert at the Rivoli tomorrow night. Back to the boring grind again next week.

OSCARS
-The Oscars are coming up and I interviewed celebrity hairstylist Dylan Hanson on how to get red carpet hair for MSN.ca. So if you are looking for getting hot, sexy hair check it out here.
-If you want to throw your own Oscar viewing bash here is what you need to do it right. I wrote that for MSN.ca and wish I could have my own party but I still have to paint my place before I have guests over.

NOTEWORTHY
-I got my first serious blog hater who came around after my Week 5: Gymetiquette post (look at anonymous comments). I am pretty sure I know who this punk is so whatever. It is bound to happen but the funny thing is the worst thing he had too say is that I was not Indigenous enough. Oh ouch. I have only been hearing that my entire life.

NATIVE 
-The APTN show'Cashing In' started this week and last year I was totally into the show and even wrote a post about it. I am in love with this sexy modern drama about Native people. Finally a show about Native people that doesn't talk about Bingo. Awesome sauce.
-Urban Warrior Plex got a write up in the Calgary Metro last week. He is really making positive waves and it is great to see him getting media attention.
-There was more talk about the 'Sundance in New Mexico' initiative that is going to expand training opportunities for Native and Hispanic filmmakers. And yes there will be an actor's lab. So don't be surprised if I don't come back to Toronto after going to Albuquerque in April (#justsaying).

FASHION
 
-@heydoyou found this awesome fringed monokini from Victoria's Secret. These are going to be hot this year. I was obsessing about it already last year when Lindsay Lohan was spotted in a Free People's one in Hawaii. I would like one in black although I don't know where I would wear it unless sitting poolside at The Delano.

    Remember the other week your were stressing out over how busy you were? LOL! Less than 4 more weeks! I think Robert Redford's endeavors to open up opportunities for NDN actors and film makers is great! I'm sure you'll probably want to go back to T-Dot, though... Albuquerque isn't that great of a place outside of GON. It's honestly a pretty boring city.

  3. DJ TR-ONE - I am stoked to hear/see more about the Sundance in NM and yes I am exaggerating and will not be moving to NM anytime right soon :P. Although the first time I went there (I was 8 yo) I was determined to move there when I was an adult (?).

    US Urban Native Girl - it's for realz - I wish you guys in the US had access to the show so you could see what I was talking about -it's awesome!
