To start off, the title of my first official blog (with a purpose) is from Lady Gaga's song called Vanity. It was my first time hearing it just now because it's not on any of her c.ds. Well, it's not on "Fame." My friend Adric is allowing me to listen to all of Gaga's (unreleased) songs off his network. I'm loving it. Lady Gaga is crazy, and amazingly fun.
This post will feature a recipe, a few questions and some "insight" into some of my favorite things. -cut- (to me singing that song from The Sound of Music)...you know the one. ;)
Alright. #1 Fashion:
I have a question for you gals..sorry guys..I don't think you can answer this one.
Have you ever worn those stick on bras?
Those bras that are made out of rubber and you apply them with just a bit of water and some sort of adhesive.
Apparently, they keep everything in place with the added bonus of no showing bra strap.
Well, I have never tried them and I am curious if any of you have. If you have please let me know.
Did they work well? Were they comfortable?
On a different note. I love Jimmy Choo shoes. I think they are extremely sexy, and unique looking. But of course I would never pay around $400 for a pair. Unless, I won the lottery which is very unlikely!
But recently I was surprised and struck with glee that Jimmy Choo shoes and accessories, as well as clothing are now being sold at (a store I love) H&M for discounted prices. I realize that this is somewhat old news..but it's "new" news to ME.
Here is a video, if you are interested:

Here's a link to some of the items sold (in NY):

When I travel to Toronto and New York in July, I will let you know if and what I bought!
I have tried to research this. To get more information but for some reason it is very difficult to find. I want to know if they get new items every season from J.C and how long they will be selling the brand. But I had no luck. Perhaps I will e-mail the company....
"Hello. First I want to say I love H&M. Thank-you for taking the time to answer a few questions I have about the Jimmy Choo collection. I was wondering,
Does Canada sell the collection, if so is it there for only a limited time?Also, does Jimmy Choo for H&M come out with a different collection every season?
Thanks again, from a dedicated and curious shopper."
Sent! I will inform you all in my next blog post if I get a response.
That is it for the fashion segment. Now, on to food.
Yesterday, I made a vegetarian curry.
I love spicy food, so curry is prefect. Also, you can make it with so my different ingredients.
I did not use a recipe for this but I can guess-timate one if you feel like making it.
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1/5 yellow onion
2.5 TBS of powdered curry
1 TBS sambal oelek chili paste (you can add more depending on how spicy you like it)
1 TBS of fresh or powder ginger
Half TBS of garlic salt or 1 clove fresh
pinch of pepper
Half a can of coconut milk
Half a cup of vegetable stock (tomato cocktail)
Half a cup of vegetable cocktail
3 TBS chopped Cilantro
1.5 cups Rice
Julienne the peppers and onions (into small strips) then
saute the peppers in a medium sized pot with a couple Tablespoons of oil, for about 2 minutes then add the onions.
Add the spices.
Then add the veg stock, veg cocktail, coconut milk.
Cook the rice separately.
After the rice is done. Put a layer of rice in a bowl and spoon the curry on top and garnish with cilantro.
Well. That is it for now people.
Until next time: sayonara!
