Boobs
I should really been an advisor to the school board on what should actually be taught in junior high. I will save my rant on the lack of proper sex education in today’s school for another colorful entry, but today I shall tackle just one kinda ginormous important thing for all womankind: bras.
It’s a travesty that most women are wearing the wrong size bra. It’s a shame that most women’s lives would actually be improved in many ways both physically and mentally if they only had on a properly fitted brassier. 85% of Women are wearing the wrong size.
Ladies, it would do you all good to get fitted, learn your right size and invest in some proper over-the-shoulder-boulder-holders.
Either go see Allison at Bunches and get fitted or watch this video.
Next buy a proper bra. I know when we get shopping in stores, especially La Senza we get all excited over the “fun” bras like neon lace and zebra prints, but DO NOT BUY those over sexed ridiculous things for your everyday use. Why??? BECAUSE they will most likely not go under all your clothes properly.
This is what EVERY girl needs her drawer, no exceptions, this should treated like car insurance, you need it to drive these things around.
1. 1. A 3-Way nude bra. BORING, ya I know. But nude is the fashion rule for under light and white colored clothing – NOT WHITE. Buying a nude bra is boring, but you will most likely wear it everyday and it will flatter you and make your clothes look better on you. Spend at least $50 on this bra. You gonna wear it everyday, so $50 is a bargain. You spend $50 on a stupid shirt to wear to the bar once or twice, you can make this investment girlfriend!!
2. A Black Strapless Bra. A specifically made to wear strapless bra. Make sure it has the lining of rubber along the insides. Why, because all the little black dresses out there, sometimes they don’t all work with straps, and if the dress looks good then that’s the one you should wear, don’t be held back buy your ratty bras. Also, much fashion in the last couple years has awkward shoulder areas. Whether its racer-back tanks or one shoulder tops, you need to be free to purchase and wear this fashion and not be held back by not having the right effin bra. Screw that, get the bra. Spend at least $50 this too.
3. One sexy bra and matching panty– cuuuuzzz ya never know when you gotta pull that kinda thing out and you don’t want any Briget Jones moments to text your friend later. And if you don’t think you are ever gonna need a sexy outfit, well hunny we got bigger problems then the right bra right now. In my experience, black and nude strapless bras have been vital in my wardrobe over the years. I dont even own a white bra.

Climategate Continues to Amuse Me
More Rainy/Snow Day Musings:
The on-going climategate is still making headlines, the Professor accused of adjusting his reporting to conclude global warming is wanting to sue a guy who made a youtube video about him.
And in other news, clearly Al Gore aint worried about oceans rising as his wife and him have just bought a ocean villa in Montecito

Simply Amazing
Toilet Paper Bandit Sought
Man wipes out Nebraska convenience store wearing two-ply disguise
APRIL 27--A man who wrapped his head in toilet paper was caught on surveillance video as he calmly pulled off the knifepoint robbery of a Nebraska convenience store Saturday night. The video, seen below, shows the unknown robber walking up to Kabredlo's, a Lincoln store, as a clerk was smoking outside. After accompanying the employee back inside, the suspect flashed a knife "and demanded money from the safe," according to investigators.

As of July 2010, all favored tobbaco is illegal to sell. Sooo no more strawberry Prime Times kiddies.
I get why they are doing it, just sucks cuz Im gonna buy them in the States now, and I like my money staying in Canada regardless of what Im buying.
Bummer for sure, but less health costs down the road I suppose.

T.O. RAVE ON
I love toronto ravers...Crystral Castles that is. Here is a new song from their new album that comes out next week.
Fair Enough
BrickHouse, all weekend
Thanks to Barrie for the tip off, this dude Andy Cotter has been driving across Canada from New Brunswick and stops in Fernie this weekend at the Brickhouse. Hes also featured in the April Fernie Fix this month, here's his myspace
Town seeeeems like its quiet, buuuut thats just the daytime. Nightlife is still happening in these parts. Rock on lovers.
Impressive
Erin Frances. What can I say really, 'cept this girl has blown me away ever since the day I met her 4 years ago in Sarah Thomas's small ass kitchen while we slung back box wine till 4am. Not only has she been gifted from Jesus himself musically, but her sarcasm and unrelentless passion for gin tonics and some good 'ol straight talk will leave you breathless, and sometimes quite frankly, shocked and awed. She wears her heart on her sleve and will throw her red hair back and wickedly laugh in your face if you tell her that's a bad idea - she has no shortage of material for writing her songs.
Fernie born and raised and currently killin' it in Vancouver right now. She's been working it out in the studio every week turning out an album that will have you salivating at her voice and fist pumping her kick-some-ass female no-bullshit lyrics.
Erin Frances has honed in on her inner rock goddess and in the next year be prepared to see the curtains drawn as she announces loud and clear what she came here to do. Stressing her joy of loving and poingnant sophisticated revenge in her lyrics and sound, fuck man, you will love this girl.

That Time of Year Again
Watchout Fernie, last night a bunch of cars were broken into and robbed. One couple caught the guy but he got away, happened just outside the old movie store, and another lady in town had her locks punched out. As a victim of a major B & E a couple April's ago, I am always on lock down at this time. I dont wanna say its not locals, and dont wanna say its teenagers, just lots of people out there who dont give a shit and need money for whatever reasons and it always seems to be this time of year that I notice it more. So, you've been warned. Fernie aint perfect y'all.

Mojo my ass
Tom Petty is releasing a new Album after 8 years, its going to be called "Mojo". He created a tour and most dates have sold out. But, his "Mojo" apparently will not be ready in time to go on such slated tour. So Tom has cancelled/postponed the first 10 tour dates. Most of those dates are in California. The Canadian dates still stand. I unfortunately had tickets to the Hollywood Bowl May 21st performance. I have now had my money refunded and in turn bought a $10 ticket to Adam Freeland in LA for that same night.
You know what Tom, I dont think you should be calling this new album "Mojo", seems your mojo has run out, why dont you call it "Viagra", or "Cialis", waaaaaaaaaaaay more fitting.
This also reminds me to explain why Im cheering for the LA Kings and not the Canucks, I dont have to explain myself, but I will: I have never cheered for Vancouver before, so why start now, if the Kings go far then when Im in LA I can catch a playoff game in LA and that would be rad and a highlight in my life. Go Kings.

Suit Up
Drunk Hipsters
What is the big deal about LCD Soundsystems new video "Drunk Girls". Sorry LCD but I was expecting something more sophisticaed then this. This video to me is just a bunch of hipsters trying to be arty with no money, all trying to out hip eachother and be all "I dont care" cool, but secretly "I care very deeply about being cool". Song is okay, Video is okay, NEXT.
Yo, Packs of 20
The sun is shining, there is a wine spritzer in my hand, grass is green, skin is turning browner, BUT WAIT, something is missing, hmmmm, its not quite a summer's afternoon until I have a lil pt action going on. Its been a long time, never had one or even a puff allllll winter I swear, but with the lazy days of summer on the horizon, I wheeled right in to 7Eleven last night to pick me up some strawberry pts.
Oh snap, due to federal legislation C-32, all little cigars must now be sold in packs of 20. PACKS OF 20!!! Oh great, well Im not gonna stop buying them but now I have AMPLE SUPPLY for anytime of the day or week. GREAT work Ottawa, thaaaaaaanks man, now when Im at the lake I wont have a moment where I say "Oh hey girl, we gotta share this is my last one". Now Im gonna be saying all summer "ohhh hey ladies, how bout we alllll have a whole one each, and in 30 minutes lets all have another, cuz I have a pack of 20 and Im never gonna run out now!" smoke smoke smoke, puff puff pufff mmmmmmmmm thanks Feds. You've made my summer smoking habit more convienient, more smokey, more cancerous, more flavourful. PFFFFFFFFFFFFFT oh you thought packs of 20 would make me stop buying them?? You retards, thats never gonna work and you know it, and now you gots more of my money in yo pocket you fucking hustler in a bad suit.
.......ahhhhh......now I need a smoke.
The State of Canadian Film
Okay seriously people, who the hell keeps giving Paul Gross movies?!!!!
Is the state of Canadian Film THAT bad that movies like GUNLESS get the go ahead? And then what, we give him a couple awards a year from now just cuz he made it, because he didnt head south of the boarder to work on Hollywood movies. Are we supposed to feel lucky that Paul Gross sticks with Canadian Film. This new movie seems like its a pardody of itself, but nope, its a reaaaal western.
IMDB.com's description of it reads "A hardened American gunslinger is repeatedly thwarted in his attempts to mount a showdown in a friendly town in Canada where no one seems to understand or appreciate the brutal code of the American Wild West." - OMG are you kidding me?!?!?! LAAAAAAME. Im always shocked what the "majority" of Canada will pay for - Ive seen the pics of sold out stadiums for Nickleback, so I guess this shitastic movie should reeeealllly surprise me.

RCMP Reports
Did you guys read the Montly RCMP reports in the Free Press this week???? OMG OMG TOOOOO FUNNY - one incident report is that The Salvation Army reported to the cops that someone donated a pair of pants, or maybe it was a jacket, but anyway it had a rather sizable bag of weed in it ALONG WITH THE OWNERS ID!!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL "Cops are following up". Or the one with the drunken man in a one-piece hot pink ski suit at the Fernie, but when cops arrived he was gone... Or the one about how someone thought the military helicopters flying by were coming to invade us!!!! Christ!!
Seriously, is this report stuff to make us laugh or to really inform us?? Whatever, I feel informed and entertained.

Wait Watching
Check This Billboard:
No more living in denial about the size of your waist line, thanks to this fantastic albeit terrifying guerrilla marketing initiative from the health club chain, Fitness First. Unsuspecting commuters in the Netherlands are faced with viewing their body weight in bright lights - quite literally - when they take a seat at this Rotterdam bus stop. Scary to say the very least, but extraordinarily clever and likely to increase membership numbers at the local Fitness First. The brainchild of Netherlands’ agency N=5, the initiative takes the concept of guerilla marketing to a whole new level. - Lisa Evans
Why?
uhhhh just watched that distrubing new HEALTH video, that one where the kid takes the stick and ya, that video, sick song but really son, why did that have to be made? Why??? Why Cant I ERASE THAT FROM MY BRAIN?!?!?!! If i ever meet the director or the band of that video, Im gonna kick them in the nards sooooo hard. Fucking wrong!
If you dont know what im talking about, be glad, beeeeeeeeeeeeee glad.
sidenote: however, great cinematography, Ill give you that.

From The Arts Station
Hey I got this letter in my FB today from the Arts Station:
In celebration of its 20th anniversary, the Fernie Arts Station is dedicated to the creation and installation of art in Fernie’s public spaces. Public Art is publicly accessible, temporary or permanent works of art. It can be as varied as doorway mosaics, innovative architecture, or the installation of monuments and statues.
The process for Public Art begins as the community is encouraged to bring ideas forward. A Public Art Committee evaluates these ideas. Artists may be invited to participate in competitions for suitable designs. From the conception of a piece of artwork, to its final installation, there is a joining of local leadership with artists and other design professionals. The end result is public artwork that reflects the diversity, needs, and visions of the larger community.
What are your thoughts on Public Art and in which public spaces would you like to see art? Contribute your thoughts on our facebook discussion board to let us know what you'd like to see here in Fernie...
Kind regards,
The Arts Station
Hit up The Arts Station's FB page and post some suggestions, c'mon Fernie lets hear it, Fernie could use some sugar and spice and some converstation pieces inbetween all the realtor signs and empty poutine containers around town.
I wanna see some gnar scultures on every corner of downtown, I want some murals across some buildings, I want painted fire hydrants, Im just saying thats some of my ideas!! hahahha whats yours?

Check Yo'Self.
Hot Dog Day is upon us. Im all for the party, truuuust me, Im all for the party. But can all the people perhaps just stop and fucking check themselves that day???? For the sake of humanity!! Please Check Yo'selves!!
Honestly, after the shit I witnessed soberly last year Im going into this Hot Dog Day with a bad taste in my mouth for it. Im not sure exactly why Corner Pocket cancelled thier deck party, but I wouldnt doubt that it has something to do with the fucking retarded mayhem that happened last year. I was the sober one, soooo let me tell you what they all looked like from a business perspective..one giant crazy ass liability. I wouldnt want to throw that party as a business person either. Yuck! Fucking noooooo way, not even after all the money I could make off those people, the risk of the liabilty is just too great. Make a couple grand off the party...then get sued for everything you own??? Nah, not worth it.
People all showed up to that party already beyond intoxicated and high, just takes one person to walk in that bar and get served just one drink and turn around and get in their car and crash it. Then that person can sue the bar ...and 9 outta 10 times, that drunk ass would win. Am I paranoid for bars in this town, ya I am, after many business law courses under my belt, ya I think I know a thing or two about liability.
Last year I saw a 21 year old male, soooo fucked up, riding some small child's bike across the highway from Kalvin's Kitchen. He was in the middle of the road, swerving, cars were stopping, I thought I was gonna see someone die, or some serious rear-ending. I saw poeple having sex on a van outside the Royal, people trashing the hill with garbage, kid passed out full of blood in the locker room....seriously has the heart and soul left Hot Dog day? Was it this messy and drug fuelled back in the 'good ol days??' tell me please!!~!
Im not trying to be a party pooper, maybe I just dont want anyone to, hmmm let me seee, ...DIE>!?!?!?!?
Fuck man, party on but fucking check yourselves. Try to remember the spirit of Hot Dog Day - "Friends, Beers, Sick Turns, Costumes, good" times. Not "Who the fuck cares about this hill Im leaving anyway, lets drink till we die, lets do as much drugs as we can afford and fuck everyone else this is my party, the hill is my toliet"- Times.
jus saying.

Karma
Okay, so the ONE TIME I ever have sent a letter to a company complaining has landed me some bad karma. I wrote an email to a company, it actrually wasnt a complaint really it was more of a polite suggestion because I really do like the product, I just thought they could use one tiny piece of feedback. And instead of the company writing me back with a polite thank you for the suggestion, they added my email to their daily mailing lists. FML. So everyday I get stupid "updates" of "exciting news" from this fucking company. ARGGH. Ive been hitting the "unsubscribe" option for months. Dammit. I should have just kept my mouth shut.
A Simple Letter
To the loser that clipped my car's side mirror last night and broke off all the plastic,
Thanks man, totally what I wanted to wake up to this morning. Wow, I mean who was I to park my car nicely along the ride side of the road in a complete appropriate position so that you would have had plently of space to move your ghetto ass truck along 2nd ave. No no, wait Im sorry I really should have known you were out drinking and would be passing my house in your truck or gay car, fuck I should have parked a street over because no doubt you have damage on your PT cruiser. You know what, I change my mind. Fuck you man, learn to drive and more importantly dont drink and drive you fucknut.
Sinceley,
