She knew...

How did she know? She's good at her job! She's damn good. I know what I like to hear and what I don't like, she knows what "they" want to hear, what the buying public likes. Barbara forced Lukas Rossi to get his "ass" on a plane to make it to the Vancouver Audition for Rock Star: Supernova, and HE WON! I'm so excited for Barbara (and for Lukas too but I don't know him). Wish I could be there with you, Barb (though things aren't too shabby over here!)... I'll definitely stay tuned. Barb says that the best of the videos to watch is Creep, I like this version as you can see Tommy Lee. er.. I mean, ... you can see Tommy Lee really rocking to Lukas's singing and performance. (though, seeing Tommy Lee is not too hard on the eyes! hehehe!). Well done for your guts, your insight, your actions, and just doing what feels right, Barbara!!!

My former life....

Wow, this is my forever friend Barbara... and her latest project, I guess you could call it that, for the Rockstar Supernova, a version of Idol... for a rock band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTLBtf0peoI the clip is the "Lukas Rossi - ET Canada Exclusive". It'll take a while if you're on Dial Up... but for me it was worth every minute, having not seen Barbara for a few years now (not fair, she doesn't look like she aged at all!)... Good luck Barbara, and to Lukas too!
Just had to post about this because I miss you so much! Enjoy your trip to LA (sleep on the plane!). You always were good at your job!!! Brings back lots of lovely memories (and some a bit blurry! *giggle*)!!!

National Book Week

Last week was a huge week with parent/teacher night, excursions and incursions and National Book Week at our primary school... On Wednesday the children got to go to school dressed up as characters from books. Most chose their favourite character, here, one chose to put on the Princess Leia costume I'd made for the girls for a Star Wars (boy's) party they went to last April, the other looked at a story book and decided on "Little Riding Hood". My only "rule" was: if you can find something to be your costume, then that's fine! I had only found out at 4pm that the next day was Book Week Dressup Day (must've missed it in the newsletter). So here are the results of our dress up bag. The kids all paraded in their costumes, and f unnily enough, the pre-primaires had a few children dressed up, then the Y1-Y3 were good, many kids dressed up, but in the 4-7, you could tell which year was up becuase the older they get, the fewere kids were dressed up with only one girl from teh 6-7 class in costume!! Shame, that's one day those kids don't have to wear their school uniforms! Not that there's anything wrong with the uniforms, but you'd think they'd want to dress up as Edward Scissorhand or something (yeah, I know, ES is a movie but someone had to write the story?)
Enjoy! (oh yes, the date is in French as I sent this to my Mum!)
