Now Playing Tracks

I wonder if Elizabeth ever has moments where she’s bored and decides to have a laugh while paying for something expensive? Like the clerk hands her the total and she exclaims “what do I look like, the Queen of England”?! before busting out laughing and handing over her credit card? She’s got a trickster look in her eye, that one. :P

Nora Ephron passed away today at age 71 in New York City after a long battle with cancer. For those who don’t know, she was the visionary writer and director behind some of our favorite RomCom movies like “When Harry Met Sally”, “Sleepless in Seattle”, “You‘ve Got Mail”, and recently “Julie And Julia”. Ms Ephron also regularly blogged for The Huffington Post and gained notoriety after exposing the real identity of DeepThroat, the source of information behind the Watergate scandal. She is survived by her husband and two sons. Thank you Nora for the brilliant work you leave behind, it will always be a light in dark places. RIP. Xo.

I don’t hawk a lot of products, but mascara is something most women use everyday. With a simple stroke or two of this new Mega Plush from Maybelline, you will literally look like you just got back from an expensive salon appointment for eyelash extensions. Utilizing a new formula made of a gel-mousse instead of the traditional wax creates lashes that are soft, never flaky, and takes you from plain to POW! in just seconds. I couldn’t be more pleased, and the best part is it costs less than $10 everywhere I’ve seen it. Most of you know I wear more makeup than anyone else you’ve ever met, and I don’t sculpt a new face out of just anything lol! Doesn’t happen often ladies, but every now and then the cosmetic goddesses throw us a bone. Don’t just sit there, go buy it!!check out the Maybelline website ad here for more info!

HA !

I’ll be honest I kinda like the thug look on guys, but this seriously cracks me up. I hear the origin of this look was in Prison, where the inmates who were “available” would lower their pants as a sign to let the other fella’s know. I wonder if this cartoon situation ever happened to any of the boys I knew growing up lol?

China has long been known for it’s stringent rules and ironclad grip on its people’s choices. In many ways this rigid set of morals has helped advance their people to vast technological and financial superiority over almost all other societies, however this latest story about the Government’s invasion into one woman’s womb has the world asking if they’ve finally gone to far? Did the #Chinese government force this pregnant woman to have an #abortion?



Read the original story here and share what you think of China’s restrictions on personal freedom?

“Trying To Teach an Old Bag New Tricks”



As anyone within the sound of my voice knows, I cannot stand Mayor Rob Ford, nor can I abide by any of the nonsense and poor leadership he exudes. I’ve also found it beyond enbarassing the way he has fought tooth and nail to get rid of the $0.05 plastic bag fee retailers charge, making it seem like some unbareable tax that citizens were being burried under.

Surely there are better things to be doing at City Hall???

Never mind that the cost per year to the average family is about $4-6, equivilant to the amount of change one might find on the ground in the same span of time. However it would appear council is cutting off its nose to spit its face by getting rid of the retailers ability to offer the option of plastic at all. I carry a reusable bag with me quite often, however in effect if we go without one now, we simply cannot carry our purchase home. What happens when we buy more than will fit in our reusable bag? Who amoung us has never picked up something they didn’t plan on while shopping? Personally I use those bags for my kitchen and bathroom garbage so they are not extra waste, as one would just have to buy a box of brand name bags for the same purpose at a much higher price.

We live in the largest city in Canada and should be setting a world standard in metropolitan residence. We have a massively over-crowded TTC, serious deficiencies in assissting our homeless and poor population, and a budget no one can ever agree on. These are important issues that people should be putting their heads together to solve.

Although it’s very easy to understand why council wants nothing to do with our Mayor. After voting against him yet again today, he had this to say about his own people, and about us:

  • “This is ludicrous. It’s the dumbest thing council has done, and council’s done some dumb things, let me tell you”
  • “The campaign’s already started for the next election. We have to get rid of some of these councillors.”
  • “I only have one vote on council. On issues like this, I think the mayor should have a little more power than one vote. I do represent 3 million people compared to some councillors that represent 60,000. We have to look at changing the act, and then I’d have to see whether I agree with it, because there’s pros and cons”

So not only is he arrogant and thinks that he is above everyone else, but he actually has so little tact or diplomacy that he bashes his own team publicly everytime they disagree with him. But this part here is the best, where the Mayor, who was just saying moments ago the he is our Rep and a big deal, switches gears to not only blame counsel, but to blame US

  • It’s the people’s fault… Honestly, sometimes I get so frustrated because the people are just sitting back listening. They don’t pick up the phone, they don’t go down to City Hall, they don’t ask questions, they just — it’s frustrating. I want people to get engaged in municipal politics to find out who their councillor is and know how they vote.”

Omg has it been four years yet? Can we please kick this self-aggrandizing, egotistical, delusional nutjob out of office already? It really only goes to show his political agenda which is to stuff his face and pockets as much as possible before getting caught red-handed like a kid in a cookie jar.

We have serious issues that need addressing from the current Mayor right now, and he’s off planning his next election campaign, more than two year away. And that crack about getting rid of some representatives - pure psychobabble. Whether you are on the right or the left, I think we all agree that no Government should be made up of people who only think one way. That’s how we lose all our freedoms on both sides.

So all in all it seems everyone needs to pull their head out of their plastic bag on this issue. Though councillors attitudes can be understood when it comes to their frustration dealing with the Mayor, they must remember that not all of us put him there, and that while some decisions against him may seem satisfying, his poor management should not be taken out on us or the city. 

As Ottawa columnist Dan Gardner (@dgardner) astutely pointed out “For the record, I don’t support banning plastic bags because if politics gets any dumber I may put one over my head and suffocate.”

It’s Follow Friday!!!


And unlike the lady featured in the above picture, I LOVE when you guys stalk me. Life is so much more interesting when we share it, especially the fun thrill of knowing you’re out there, but not really who you are haha! I enjoy writing my articles and stories for you guys to read, and to share my thoughts and world with you online. I’m just a young girl in her 20’s living in Toronto and making a living writing and blogging. I wear too much make-up, I’m an accessory queen, and my ridiculously nonsensical view of the world generally has people in hysterics. I’m a freak, and I wear it like a badge of honor. Makes me feel famous in a way, connecting everyone together with information and entertainment. Presenting myself in digital costume for your entertainment. But that’s why my online handle is @UrHostSashaSkye, because I would like to welcome you to my show. I’m kinda like Tinkerbell, I need your applause and interest to keep me going, so please clap (or send substancial cheques) :P

Anyway, today’s busy person has so many things going on in their lives (work, school, relationships, family) that it often leaves very little time for the arduous task of learning someone’s patterns, their likes and dislikes, when they’ll be alone, and the mountain of other work involved in being a successful stalker. Well, it doesn’t have to be that way! You see, today’s technology allows us to have a window into other people’s lives who were previously unreachable, peering into their innermost thoughts, and best of all, without the screaming, chasing, and eventual criminal record. All you need are a few key pieces of information. Now normally this might be difficult, however I’ll just make it easy for ya :P

If you LOVE being an Assashin and enjoy reading my work, you will beam with pride at being included in all “ThE aSashaNation’s” social circles, with just the click of a button!

“The Art of Being Henry Hargreaves”


    
     As someone who lives her life in the surreal world, designing faces, creating illusions to live in, altering life to make it appear different than it is, I am always excited to explore the outer reaches of the Neteverse and come across intriguing artists who express themselves in the same manner. The first picture I noticed from this artist was the portrait of the Queen, made entirely of toast cooked to different degrees. I was really captivated by that, recognizing how much time and effort must have been put into creating it, you can almost feel the planning and precision. But that is the artists nature. Having had a long-time passion for photography, he travelled taking pictures in South East Asia where he was noticed by a modelling scout and sent off to Europe to spend the next four years as a high-fashion model. Clearly that time on both sides of the lens has paid off.

     As I went through his website I was treated to stunning visual imagery; Clearly Mr. Hargreaves takes a great deal of inspiration from the abstract, seeing everyday things in a bizarrely beautiful way and presenting them to us in ways we would never have imagined. I found one particular exhibit of his facinating; a recreation of last meals by death row inmates, taking care to prepare them as they would have been in their various periods of time, and photographing them from above. I found this to be a facinating and very interesting way to capture a piece of the last reflection of someone’s personality.

     So go ahead and lose youself in images of things that will never be, but that you sure wish were. Maybe find a little inspiration to change the colours and perceptions in your own life. What is reality anyway but what we make it to be?

The lottery is such an exciting thing, I’m so glad someone created it!


Imagine going to bed one night just a regular person with a regular job and a regular life, and waking up the next morning being able to do whatever you want for the rest of your life without ever once thinking about money. For only $5 we can have the chance to dream of what could be if we didn’t have constraints. We could travel the world, build schools in Africa, have lunch in Paris. Decorate you apartment like Christmas for an entire year, fund a soup kitchen for a decade, and spend the weekend in the underwater hotel in Fiji.

Lately I have found myself interested in how I would decorate my dream bathroom, and these pics are some of my favs I’ve found. Here in Canada our contest is called LottoMax and the prize is capped at $50 million, so naturally I have created a folder entitled “$50 Million Dollar Dreams” and I use it to collect photo’s of things or stories I would like to have or do. A close friend of mine thinks that’s a little weird, but I say hey, one of the best parts of being human is the ability to imagine. To dream of what might be, to always keep us looking forward and ahead.

So anyone who knows me knows that I am absolutely the Ice Queen.


     Romance creeps me out, and the idea of waking up next to the same person for the rest of my life makes me want to swallow cyanide. Really, I’m worse with this stuff than any man could ever be. However, even ice can melt once in a while, and while by nature I’m generally distrustful of the male species, the amount of planning and effort and thought Isaac Lamb put into this proposal is unreal. It just makes me feel all warm and human inside (nothing a few Rev’s can’t take care of).

So he basically wrote a short play for his fiancee and came up with what will no doubt be the schtick for their new reality show (seriously, TLC, are you watching this)? He had his brother sit her down in the back of a car facing the rear, and put on headphones to listen to a song. As the car slowly drives down the road with her in it, a series of hilarious events ensue, all brilliantly acted out and sung by the dude’s friends and family to the tune of “Marry You” by Bruno Mars.

Guys, I don’t reccommend you show this to your ladies unless you are prepared with some kind of proposal on the moon.

Now watch the best thing you’ll see this weekend!

Okay,

So I was supposed to start my cleanse this weekend, but as I went into Metro to buy my lemons, cayenne pepper, etc, I saw this just sitting on the shelf. Not really just sitting tho, more like singing and dancing erotically. Of course, I chocked this up to another hallucination likely brought on by an acid flashback from the 90s, however I reached out none the less to prove myself right, when my fingers met the cold and forbidden sensation of the plastic prison of delicilousness. The rest dear Assashins, is about to go in my mouth and become history.

Haha, Did you think I sounded like @CourtneyStodden there for a minute? I didn’t mean it that way but it just kinda came out :P


With a creamcheese frosting ribbon?? omg I’ve been waiting for this redvelvet icecream my entire life!! ff (Taken with instagram)
