Closing.
Fields is closing!! No way that sucks man, I really enjoyed having the convienience of that corner place. Fields is closing in Sparwood as well, the economic downturn is being blamed. In Pincher Creek the Fields is closing, but the manager blames the new Wal-Mart for thier closure.
That corner of downtown is gonna look like shit, between the empty Fields and the Disgusting old movie store building the city is gonna need to do some serious investing in hanging flower baskets to cover that up. ughhh.

Fernie is getting a new sexy boutique! "Smitten"!
A classy lingerie shop, must be 18 to enter!!
But without all the tacky porno, but expect some poll dance lessons! Yeow!
Will be located downtown in the old museum location.
Expect it to open in October.

Called Rizzuto Boxing. Neat. Ive been in the basement, what a cool mysterious place to hold old school boxing. Thats a cool mancave for sure, so ya Ill be sticking with yoga thanks.
Welcome to the Downtown!

Meat and Bun
Relay for Life is coming, and you know what that means... lotsa hot dogs!!
Falkins Hot Dog Fundraiser is on May 14th and East Kootenay Insurance is having there's May 19th.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Did you know?
The term "dog" has been used as a synonym for sausage since 1884 and accusations that sausage makers used dog meat date to at least 1845.
According to a myth, the use of the complete phrase "hot dog" in reference to sausage was coined by the newspaper cartoonist Thomas Dorgan around 1900 in a cartoon recording the sale of hot dogs during a New York Giants baseball game at the Polo Grounds.
So ya...Today is...
Come celebrate Emily Brydon with the entire community this May 12th! Presentations, speeches, live music, BBQ and opportunities to take pictures with Emily and get her autograph. The evening starts with a parade at 4:30 from the College to the Community Centre where the festivities will take place starting at 5pm.
Kevin Giffen hosts the event, as individuals recognize Emily's achievements. A video, slide show, live music including Fernie's popular Shred Kelly, BBQ with proceeds going towards the Emily Brydon Youth Foundation, and autograph/photograph opportunities are all part of the fun evening. See you there!
Wow, I wonder what Emily is thinking, a whole day and a parade! Thats kinda crazy. Shes such a humble gal, hope she has a great day. I hope all the parents out there bring there young daughters to meet Emily, this is what a TRUE ROLE MODEL IS, not KE$HA or Mary-Kate or LaLohan or Heidi Montag. Seriously parents, BRING your girls to meet Em!!!

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.
Watch the surveilence
