It's about time...

I am TRULY sorry that it has taken me this long to update you. I haven't spent much time on my computer lately so I haven't really had an opportunity to keep everyone in the loop!

Well The Hills has disappointed the girls in the store for the second time now by canceling their plans to film. After days of helping re-merchandising, cleaning and re-stalking the store, it was all for a large nothing, although the store has really never looked better.

But on a happier side of things, Sophia Bush came in after her appearance on the Late Show with Craig Ferguson. She was wearing a ring from the store that one of the sisters designed and they did a HUGE close up on it! Everyone was ecstatic and even Sophia couldn't believe they did that either! She is unbelievably sweet and hilarious. Here is a link to the video and CHECK OUT THAT RING, it's real diamonds and it is just insane - my sister would love it.

I have some friends down in LA right now visiting which has been so fun! It is strange when you are with Canadians because for some reason their is just such a mutual understanding of everything. Also, you aren't interrupted as much. For example, if you step on the heel of a Canadian's shoe, the person whose foot you stepped on will be the one to say, 'sorry'. Well you wouldn't believe how many times in a day people step on your foot because apparently it has just become second nature not to notice! Every time I apologize for anything they instantly know I am Canadian because we say 'sorry' instead of 'sahrry'. (I think I have spoken about this before).

Anyways, my friend Lorne is coming down tomorrow for the summer and I am BEYOND excited to see him. I can't wait to show him around because I really have started to feel at home now and not as much as a foreigner.

On Wednesday I went to a USC party with a friend who goes to school there. I can honestly say it was so much fun and so much different from any party I've been to at a Canadian University. The highlight of the visit though was driving down their street of all the sorority and fraternity houses. This street is essentially the 'Aberdeen' of Queen's and let me tell you...they are COMPLETELY different.

My friend LIVES in the EXACT SAME HOUSE that LEGALLY BLONDE WAS FILMED IN. It is actually a sorority house and it actually looks like that. Their frosh week is called Rush and instead of getting into your 'cover-all's' and getting dirty...you learn to HAIR FLIP.                               I. am. not. kidding.

I mean these are serious mansions with serious rules. Boys are kicked out at 2 am, no boys are allowed upstairs, and their is a point system based on how many events you attend and you must introduce all the girls in your sorority as your sister. I wish I was kidding but this street is filled with miniature White House's - as in mansions with big white pillars. It was like I was walking down a set of a movie. The Fraternities are even COOLER. These boys houses look like modernized restaurants on the outside...but on the inside they have full sized basketball courts, squash courts and look like they should be in a book about modern architecture. They are actually insane. By the way...there isn't just one or two of these houses... it is about three blocks long. If you ever come to LA you need to check it out because it is beyond anyone's imagination. There are also some strange looking ones. I mean one sorority looks like Barbie's dream house and one looks like John Belushi's Animal House.

But here is an example of the boys... AS IF

To bad 34 Aberdeen doesn't look like this.

Anyways, on a note about ME, I am getting head shots done next Wednesday and I am beyond excited! My friend suggested this photographer to me and he looks amazing and has done some very recognizable people. I will post a few as soon as I get them done and you can all tell me which one I should use to send in with some resumes.

I think I will be busy all weekend but I will update you with some fun stories as soon as they happen! I promise I won't leave you hanging for long. On a shopping note: I found leather high waisted hot shorts at the flea market last weekend for $7. I know - you are beyond jealous.
