2012 Olympic Athletes Poses Nude

The 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London begins tomorrow! Very exciting!! I always love watching the Olympic Games and of course cheering on our Canadian athletes.

Speaking of Olympic athletes, check out these beautiful photographs in the latest ESPN Body Issue. In a tribute to their bodies, all the athletes stripes down to celebrate their athletic forms.

I love the concept. The photos does an excellent job at showcasing the tremendous strength, effort and commitment that athletes put into their bodies, as they get ready for the Games. They're strategically and very artistically shot - in most shots, the athlete is in a movement from their sport.

Below are some of the photographs. Doesn't it motivate you to go to the gym right away? lol
Check out the rest of them here. What do you think of them? Which one's your favourite? Enjoy : )

Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" Viral-Videos

I'm sure you all heard and probably know the words to Carly Rae Jepsen' hit song "Call me Maybe". I've got to admit - I like this song : )

Her song had sparked many viral-videos, from president Obama to the most recent one, Cookie Monster from Sesame Street called Share it Maybe.

I hope her other songs will be just as popular and that she won't be those 'one hit wonder' artist. However, with Justin Bieber's people behind her, I think she will do just fine.

Check out the original video here, and some of my favourite videos the song has launched. Which one's your favourite? Please share and let me know in comment below.

Enjoy! I apologize if the songs get stuck in your head after viewing : )

 I think this was the one that started it all - featuring Justin Beiber, Selena Gomez, Ashley Tisdale and Friends

Summerlicious - Valens

It's that time again - the 10th annual Summerlicious! It started July 6 and runs until July 22, so there's still time. For restaurant list, click here.

My friends and I went for lunch to Valens last weekend. Located in the heart of downtown Toronto, in Baldwin village. They offers a selection of fusion foods. You can check out their Summerlicious menu here.

I really liked it; great atmosphere, good food and nice service. There also a nice front patio. Check out the pics I took of the dishes we had. I definitely recommend Valens!

I have 2 more restaurants booked, so make sure to check back for my thoughts on them.

Happy Canada Day!

Just wanted to wish the best place on earth, Canada a very Happy Birthday!! FYI, Canada will be turning 145 years old! Still looks great, eh?! Enjoy the day and don't forget to wear your red and white proudly.

I love Canada! 

The Amazing Spider-man

 

One of the summer blockbusters will be coming up in a couple more days. I got a chance to check it a few days early : )

The Amazing Spider-man wasn’t  ‘A-mazing’, I thought it was ‘alright’.

Maybe because I was a little overly excited: felt lucky winning passes to the advance screening, and plus it was on IMAX 3D!! So, I kind of expected a lot.

Don’t get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Spider-man and would recommend it. It was indeed, an entertaining film. I had a great time!

I liked the story, showing a more of a back-story with Peter Parker learning the secret behind his parents’ deaths. I enjoyed Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-man, (probably more than Tobey Maguire) I felt he did a great job and was believable playing a younger Peter.  I also really liked Emma stone! They both had great chemistry on screen. The new villain was cool. And all that web-swinging action (in 3D) was amazing.

NOTE: don’t bother staying to the very end of the credits, there’s no extra scene. However, do stay for a bit after when the film finishes. Looking forward to the sequel : )

The Amazing Spider-man definitely worth checking out. Watching the film in IMAX 3D was very nice, but I think 2D would be just as good. Comic fan or not – you’ll have a swinging good time. Opens July 3^rd.

Check out some of the film posters – love them all!

Maison Martin Margiela at H&M

Very exciting news!! The next collaboration collection with H&M will be French fashion house Maison Martin Margiela. BTW, I'm liking the look of the promotional stuff - ie. image above and the 2 sneak peek videos below.

Maison Martin Margiela is a French fashion house created in 1988 that has always followed its own path, toying with fashion norms and using deconstruction and transformation to create new staples. The further you step away from the conventional fashion framework, the closer you come to understanding what the brand is all about.

There will be offering of clothes and accessories for both men and women. I can't wait to see more! Mark the date - November 15th!
