mm after

on the east coast. after the wedding. when you thought there could be no more loveliness and joy because instead there would be the sadness of it being over. instead there was one and a half magical days with steph, laura, and geir. there was the farm and the terabithia-walk-to-the-waterfalls. there was the misty foggy sandy beach with beers and tequilla. there was the jeep with all the wind. there was the delicious dinner and breakfast and wine and mimosas. there was the crokinole. there was the dancing in the rain on the street out front at 3am. there was the backyard fire and the bunkbeds. and then there was home again. emo-j-lo galore.

i want to go back to there now please.

worn

what is that? in your pocket? is that $5?! oh you should get rid of that. $5 is so not cool to have on you, man. give it to these awesome people, maybe?



worn is awesome and is barely asking for any money, and also REAL SIZED PEOPLE! did you see that, there? in their video? yeah. that's right. amazing. so. donate if you can. fashion love.

mm forever

you remember. that my lovely friends marc & mel got married? they did. i looooove them and i loooooved their wedding. it was such a joyful beautiful honest event.

here are a zillion photos of the lovely long weekend. they're kinda rubbish quality photos. but. you know. i took them through a teary filter of love and magic. so. they're the best to me. (and if you wanna know what true love looks like, there's marc & mel, sure, but there's also steph. the prettiest dark-haired one? steph who i loved so much my brain exploded. all the pictures of her, imagine rainbows and kittens bursting out of your eyes while you're looking at them. cause. that's what was happening to me. oh man. love. love love love. oh man and kerrianne. and laura and daniel. how on earth did marc & mel manage to have such amazing friends?!)

{the arrival. the prep. the hanging out.}

{the day. the hair. the faces.}

{the beeeach! the photos. the champagne!}

{the drunks. the car. (the moment marc & mel questioned letting kerrianne steph & i meet...)}

{the hugs. the party. the foooood and wiiiine!}

{the morning after. the breakfast.}

and there you have it. such a total joy. so lucky to be a part of this celebration. love forever, love love.

ff (fs)

uuuuggggggghhhhh guys. sorry. i put off writing this week's feminist friday post cause ugh. right? remember last week's rape-culture-fatigue link?

well this week i was gonna write about men explaining things. (after friends who i love dearly refused to learn from conversations we'd had to either a) NOT TALK ABOUT IT with me or b) adjust their attitudes on rape culture...)

and i was gonna write about the series of sexual assaults in one of my fav toronto neighbourhoods. and the heavy-sighs-for-reals? response from our shitty mayor's niece (and the very-awesome response of one of the victims).

i was gonna write about one of my very favourite humans getting chased right to her front door off the bus by two douchebags in my sweet scary hometown. and the fact that some people felt that 'not taking the bus' anymore was the solution to avoiding such situations. thanks, yo. practical shit.

but yeah. pooped. i've been dancing lots of ballet this week and i just don't feel like getting into and getting angry this week. see back to that fatigue piece.

SO INSTEAD!

i want you to take a look at the man i've decided is theeeee sexiest man. this week. his style is so unconventional and anti-heteronormative! (and daaaaamn them tattoos.) and even though he is gay i am in love with him and hoping maybe he will marry me. after he is done winning project runway... ladies and gentleman. fabio costa. love of my life!

{all photos of sweet beautiful fabio from the project runway site} 

happy long weekend.
