MizzPinkx - Quotes

I recently came across a beautiful quote and thought it was worth sharing.
All of us feel a little unsure about things occasionally, so here's something that may be useful during those confusing times.


"When God leaves you at the edge of a cliff, trust him; One of two things will happen: Either He'll catch you when you fall, or He'll teach you how to fly."

I don't know who penned it, but it's a gem of a quote. I don't need to say more, because it speaks for itself.

MizzPinkx - DesiVibe - Bye Bye Furniture Boy

Perhaps it’s true that the things you try to avoid the most are the ones that follow you everywhere.

A very nice aunty I like, (no sarcasm intended, she really is nice and I really do like her), had suggested that my parents “take a look” at someone in her extended family who she thought would be a good “match” for me.

Only, she hadn’t actually seen the potential match in years, or maybe even ever, I’m not sure. That didn’t seem to deter her from recommending him though, and from telling my mom that he was very “handsome”.

Not to be judgmental, but most of the time I’ve heard an aunty call someone handsome, they aren’t really handsome. Tall, perhaps. Dark, maybe, but not handsome. Hardly ever handsome.

MizzPinkx Greetings - Lucky?

You know those people whose plans and schemes always end up backfiring in the most blow-up-in-your-face kind of way?
And those people who are never in the right place at the right time, usually through no fault of their own but because of fate, or destiny, or luck, or whatever it is that causes things like that.
I seem to fit into that unfortunate category.
The place I first worked at closed down a few months later, and the place I interned at last summer might be heading the same way.
Naturally, it has occurred to me that maybe I have something to do with these unfavorable happenings.
But perhaps things are going to change now.
A few days ago I went to a mall here in Ottawa with my mom, only to find it closed.
It was only one in the afternoon, so that made no sense at all.
The lights were off, but I could see people inside. My mom and I decided to take a chance and go in anyway. We saw lots of people, some sitting, and many milling around in a dark mall with all the stores closed.
On inquiry, we found out the power in the area was out, and no one knew when it might be back.
I told my mom it was useless, and we should just head back, even though I felt thoroughly irritated. My mom convinced me to wait for a few minutes, and just as I agreed and began to walk towards a table, all the lights came on.
I couldn’t help but beam from ear to ear because we were the only ones who had just entered the mall at the time and lo and behold!
We started walking towards a still motionless escalator, which people were walking up, when I suggested using the stairs in case it started working and going the wrong way.
My mom pooh-poohed my idea so I decided to use the escalator anyway, and as soon as I stepped onto it, it started working. And in the right direction too.
Maybe I’m not unlucky after all. Or maybe whatever it was has now left me alone and my luck is going to get better. Maybe this was some sort of a sign of things to come.
Or maybe it was all just in my head, and I am in fact lucky, as my mom says, (even though I’m sure the last part is just to make me feel better).
Whatever the case, I guess I’ll find out sooner or later.
Till then, take care, and good luck to all with everything all through the upcoming year.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

For Tiffany Lovers, Audrey Hepburn Fans, and Girls Who Love Designer Eyewear

The latest sunglasses collection from Tiffany seems to have been designed with Audrey Hepburn as its inspiration.
Using the style icon as inspiration makes good sense because of her eternally chic status.
The new sunglasses come in three different colours and each pair is accompanied by three charms. The colours available are pink and plum, red and brown, and tiffany blue and black. Of the charms, one is a heart, one is the letter T, and one is the logo of the company (Tiffany and Co).
The chic shades are now available throughout Tiffany stores and at a few select boutiques.
At $320 a piece, they aren't too bad a deal, because they are designer glasses after all.
For Tiffany lovers and Audrey Hepburn fans, this just might be the gift they’d love to get their hands on this christmas season.

Iran Bans Women from Wearing Make up

State TV in Iran has banned the use of make up on air.
Any woman caught wearing make up will be pulled off the air. A law already exists in the country which prohibits women from wearing any kind of make up.
The reasoning the state provides for this law is that make up is "offensive to older people and children", which is why women should not be allowed to use it.
Not surprisingly, state run TV is not popular in the country, with many viewers turning to foreign channels for their entertainment needs.
Not many would want to watch programs that adhere to an archaic set of rules when there are so many other options available. If anything, the state’s aim should be to draw in as many viewers as possible, rather than to alienate them further.
Banning men from wearing colourful make up in public is another matter, but banning those who have to be on TV, particularly women, sounds rather ridiculous.
In this day and age, a law like this seems very outdated, if not petty. Authorities should be concerned with solving the greater issues that plague their country, instead of wasting time and energy on such silly ones.
Women all over the world have used different forms of make up to beautify themselves all through the ages. Every woman has the right to look and feel beautiful, and for the state to interfere in such matters is rather unfair.
The idea that women wearing make up is offensive to older people and children is even sillier. Some people may find men who wear make up offensive, but it makes no sense for anyone to get offended by women using something that is made for their use in the first place.
Seems like the state tried to come up with some sort of a legitimate sounding reason, but failed to put forth anything that made sense.
Hopefully they’ll come to their senses soon and drop this useless law!

Victoria Beckham Denim

Victoria Beckham, ex Spice Girl and football star David Beckham’s wife, is re launching her denim clothing line.
The collection will feature lots of denim in the form of pieces like boyfriend jeans, jackets, cut offs, tights, and skinny jeans.
The line was previously called dVb and wasn’t selling too well. Prices started at $235, so perhaps most women weren't willing to shell out that amount for a pair of jeans.
The collection is now called Victoria Beckham Denim and you’d think with a new name and a re launch, the prices might be revised too.
No such luck though, because Victoria isn’t tweaking any of them.
Hopefully she designed the pieces with real women in mind though, and not just extremely skinny ones like herself. If starved looking women are the only ones who’ll look good in the clothes, there’s even less hope for the line than previously thought.

Time for a Change

To make things a bit more interesting for those of you who do have a look at my blog, I’ve decided to include posts of some of my own experiences, thoughts, and maybe even a few confessions.

I’ll be sharing quite a few things with you so this should make things more fun, and more personal too. Who knows, it might even take my blog in a different direction, but that’s for time to tell.

For now, I’m going to try to do justice to my posts by being true to myself, as always.

Till then, keep reading!

Men in Women Inspired Clothing - What Next?

We all know fashion can be anything from whacky, to weird, to downright absurd. These new styles definitely belong in the last category.
H&M recently unveiled its spring 2010 collection. Nothing says spring more than flowing skirts, dresses, and light, breezy clothing, but this time there’s a twist.
The men’s collection included parachute pants, and believe it or not, a kilt.
And that's not all. Prada and Marc Jacobs have already showcased their women-inspired fashions as part of their spring collection for next year.
While it's true that "boyfriend" jeans, tops, and cardigans were the look of the season, that doesn't mean it'll work when applied in reverse.
Not quite sure which kind of buyers these fashions will be a hit with, but whoever they are, hope they don't leave their houses dressed like that.
Unfortunately, there is such a thing as too much fashion, and this is a fine example of a catastrophic look in the making!

CNIB's Gift Wrap at Bayshore Mall

This Christmas season, give some of your time to help those who truly need it.
CNIB is holding its annual Gift Wrap all through the month of December up until the 24th.
The month long gift wrapping event will take place at Bayshore Shopping Centre right here in Ottawa, and volunteers are needed to make it a success. All donations will go towards funds for the charity.
According to its website, “CNIB is a nationwide, community-based, registered charity committed to research, public education and vision health for all Canadians. CNIB provides the services and support necessary for people to enjoy a good quality of life while living with vision loss.”
Volunteers will be provided with training in how to wrap gifts properly at orientation sessions that will be held throughout the month of November. These aren’t mandatory, but promise to be lots of fun as well as help in improving gift wrapping skills.
Volunteers will be able to choose from shifts at various times, and each shift is three hours long. Volunteers are also needed on weekends, which is a perfect solution for those who can’t take time out during weekdays.
CNIB’s kiosk will be situated on the third floor of the mall, and volunteers are still needed to fill up shifts.
Group volunteering is also possible, with some shifts still requiring more than one person to fill up.
There’s no excuse for missing out, so get your schedule and book some shifts!

To book shifts contact CNIB at:
 cnib.giftwrap@gmail.com
