Hilarious Hair (on me, at least)
There are few things funnier than putting on wigs and hats and trying to look ridiculous. There could also be few things more helpful, when deciding on a new haircut or hairstyle, than being able to have some idea of how you will look when the hairdresser steps away and puts the scissors down.
Edmonton-based salon EvelineCharles is making both dreams come true.
The chain of salons has a new iPhone app that acts a virtual stylist. And they know you and I will also use it to make hilarious Facebook profile pictures. (They are totally cool with the app being used for entertainment purposes!)
Once you download the app you can plug in any photo of yourself and try out a number of hairstyles. If you find one you like you can use the app to find the nearest EvelineCharles, where they will be ready to provide you with any of the looks in the app, and even book a hair appointment right from your phone (or iPad). You can also show off your photos at an EC salon to receive freebies.
You can also tweet, e-mail, and share photos of yourself on Facebook from the app, so there’s no delay in letting everyone know you look good.
Now I’m just waiting for the next update of hairstyles…
(Yes, I am fully aware, this one’s really more for the ladies.)
As Much Edmonton As Possible
Friday. It’s the best day of the week, and the first one of a new month. I can’t believe it’s March already. I’ve made a nine month plan for myself to get it all together and then, hopefully, get back to Asia. But things always change… After looking at all the countries I haven’t been to, I have a lot to venture to.
I’ve bought a new pair of kicks for running, went back to blogging and am working to get eight hours of sleep. Little steps make me feel like I’m actually achieving things. I’ve also signed myself up for Deathswitch because last year’s trip to South America was a close call. I’m still trying to figure out the “Switch” though. Like, if I die, will it e-mail everyone on my friends list saying something like “Come to my funeral,” or “Ding-dong the witch is gone,”? I always trying to be prepared, but I never feel prepared enough when things do happen.
Let’s see how much Edmonton I can get into one Friday. (more…)
Big Sexy Speaks: “Why I want a trade.”
By Number 44 (as imagined by Colin MacIntyre)
Hair makes the man.
What up Babies.
So I’m in my mansion, packin’ up my hockey bags (one for equipment, the other for hair product ) when I got to thinkin; Big Sexy owes you an explanation.
I realize a lot of you might have been upset with that interview I gave over the weekend, where I said I don’t want to be here anymore, and that I want to be traded. Yes, I realize I was probably going to be traded this summer anyway, and yes, I realize I may have already been traded, had I not broken my hand on that Iggy’s superdense skull, but I had to give that interview.
I had to get some stuff off my chest, stuff that’s been tearing me apart, like a rip in your favorite Armani suit. You know what I’m talking about, right?
I said that the experience of being back in Edmonton wasn’t the experience I was expecting. That’s putting it midly. My time in Edmonton has been a complete wrecking ball of a freakshow nightmare trainwreck. So what changed? Why was I so excited to come home, to play for the Oil, and now I’m filling up my Escalade with Premium at the Domo, chomping at the bit to get the rock out of here?
Well, consider the following:
