what 100% cranberry juice tastes like.

henna asked me some questions.

How often do readers recognize you on the street? Are you cool with people treating you like a celebrity or does it ever get on your nerves?

pretty often, though not always will they approach me, later on i’ll get an email from them or a comment, some say they’re starstruck or shy or whatever, it’s to the point now where friends i post pictures of are spotted independently of me when out on the town. it doesn’t get on my nerves but it can make you a bit wary or paranoid sometimes, usually not though, just a feeling in the back of your head like is that person staring at me cos they read my blog or is it just cos i’m wearing a fluorescent orange hat?

You always post pictures of food that you’ve eaten at restaurants. What are your favourite places to eat at in Toronto?

what’s best to me might not necessarily be best to others, tho i like the victory and bar mercurio (for special occasions) the green room (even tho we have had food fuck-ups including raw chicken, beer cap in soup) i will still drunk-eat there i don’t care SO TASTY. allan’s on the danforth is very nice, they have great appetizers blackened potato salad and capon wings, and soo many beers. i love shawarma from ghazale and pita q at bloor/spadina. the drake’s menu is good as well as the beaconsfield oh and we LOVE spadina gardens on dundas (used to be on spadina) why did i answer these im starving right now. all pictures of these foods can be found in my flickr sets. here and here. oh i forgot hosu on queen is amazing too.

What are the best and worst places to shop in Toronto?

even though everyone complains about h&m i dig their stuff, affordable and by the time yer over it it’s fallen out of shape anyway, and they do have some good finds there, staple items. i used to shop at le chateau but they don’t really know how to make the change into the modern it seems and everything is overpriced now, i think they’re catering more to the club scene and cougars, fuck their clothes are tacky. i have a love/hate relationship with shopping and i am into bargains while sometimes i’ll go whole hog and make a massive purchase, usually for shoes or a coat. winners is good though it kind of makes me feel crazy to walk in there and you can see madness in everyone else’s eyes too. magic pony is a great store for eccentric losers like me if it were on bloor i would be destitute.

Have you ever been wary of being photographed or have you always been comfortable with it?

i’m comfortable with it sure, during the fat years i was more controlling over pictures being taken of me, even now i still carry those feelings over, my family is what i call fatface talkers and we talk a lot so there are loads of fatface pictures out there, it sucks. i’ve relaxed a lot about it though, i know what i look like, i’m fine with some uglies here and there it’s not the end of the world if you have a double chin picture tagged on facebook.

Do you wear foundation and if you do what kind do you like the best?

i wear maybelline products because they’re good to my skin and the cheapest brand, i made the mistake of buying a more expensive mascara, big mistake, it’s destroying my eyelashes and under eyelashes, goes to show that more expensive isn’t always a better product. i use the creme mousse maybelline foundation, i used to use their correction (blemish) sticks over my entire face, what a waste of money ungh i don’t even want to think about it haha.

What other makeup do you wear daily?

i use bonne belle gold n glitze shimmer/bronzer on my eyelids and cheeks

If you had $500 to spend on makeup, what would you buy?

more lipsticks and maybe try out more expensive foundations and powders to see what they’re all about, and then stock up on the stuff i normally use.

What do you like and dislike about blogging?

it is reliable and like default oh right that’s what i need to do today, i like that but somedays when i feel like i have nothing else to say i get annoyed by it but then i check comments and remember why i do it. anonymous commenters are annoying.

What makes a good blog?

originality, humour and eye-catchy pictures and interesting content
