FIRST DAY IN L.A.

How would I describe the first day in LA? Oasis.
We got in last night and instantly went for a walk outside and breathed in the tropical air, wandered around gas stations and settled on a pint of ice cream from Ralph's. 

Today we started our day off at 7AM thanks to jet lag, but it was actually quite nice because we got a lot of things done within the day. We walked to Whole Foods for grocery shopping and grabbed breakfast (...and chocolate) while we were there. From then on, we got lucky enough to be able to have access to a car to drive to West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, which is where we mostly spent the day. Everyone in LA uses this "cold" weather to their advantage and breaks out cute winter coats, whereas I whip out my t-shirts ;)

We had dinner at Katsuya on Hollywood and Vine (Hillary Duff song memories, anyone?) and then drove back home.

Unfortunately we didn't get insanely lucky with the weather, but that's not going to stop me from having an amazing time.

See you in 90210 tomorrow.

LA FIN.

La fin... yes I can only hope that this is la fin of winter coats, scarves and mittens. 

It's March! Why aren't the flowers blooming yet? Why were my toes numb when I got home today? What ever happened to climate change? 

Thankfully I'm escaping to Los Angeles tomorrow and bearing my pale ghostly limbs to the sun. I honestly don't even know how I'm going to react when I land on the California soil and go outside... and feel warm. What is it like to be outside and not freeze? I don't remember! 

I'll be sharing my travels with you for the next week so be sure to visit soon.

A SIGH OF RELIEF.

I am extremely grateful for everything and everyone in my life. 

 This week I was able to spontaneously buy a ticket to Los Angeles and get my good friend to come with me. If you didn't know, this has been a burning dream of mine for as long as I can remember. 

As if that wasn't enough, I got signed to Plutino this week, which is an amazing modeling agency.

The day I went to their open call, the weather was absolutely terrible. There was a snow storm the night before, but it had all melted, so you were basically forced to walk ankle-deep in water and slush. Of course, Toronto weather is incomplete with disgusting cold wind, so that also accompanied my early morning mission. I also got lost thanks to the accuracy of Google Maps (major sarcasm), and I was on the brink of giving up. When I arrived to greet the agents of Plutino Group, I got signed to them right on the spot. 

Words can't describe how excited I am to be able to work with such dedicated and experienced agents. So this is what I was vaguely saying in my past few blog posts: always start at the top when (inevitably) seeking acceptance. You never know who will believe in you and taking the risk is work it.
